People are Fighting to Break Their Diaries! They Forced Me to Eat Soft Food

85: Chapter 85 Lucky Guy Arrives! Old Master Yao: Pretending to be Cool Like the Wind”Hiss!”

Xiao Ting was not afraid of Yun Yun, but Xiao Zhan and the others were terrified.

They allowed Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran to establish the Three-Year Agreement because they knew that the Cloud Mist Sect and Nalan Yanran were in the wrong, and even to protect their own reputations, they wouldn’t use their power to oppress others.

But for Xiao Ting to directly provoke Yun Yun like that, if things went wrong, it could truly doom the entire family.

It is no exaggeration to say that even if everyone in the Xiao Family were tied together, they wouldn’t be enough to survive a single Dou Technique from Yun Yun.

”Forget it.” Yun Yun withdrew her gaze and stood up abruptly. ”It is clear that you harbor great hostility towards my Cloud Mist Sect. Yanran coming to cancel the engagement and establishing the Three-Year Agreement has, in the end, planted a thorn in the Xiao Family.”

”As a dignified Dou Huang expert, I do not care to bully the young or lower myself to your level.”

”Let’s pretend I never came today. We shall meet again in two years at Yun Lan Mountain.”

As her voice fell, a gust of wild wind appeared in the assembly hall, causing everyone to instinctively squint their eyes.

After a few breaths, the situation inside the room returned to calm, and when everyone looked, they discovered that Yun Yun’s figure had already disappeared.

A Dou Huang expert is truly terrifying; they couldn’t even follow her speed of departure with their eyes. To wipe them all out would only take an instant.

”Whew.” After a long silence, Xiao Zhan let out a sharp sigh of relief and cast an admiring gaze at Xiao Ting. ”Ting’er, even I, your uncle, didn’t dare to breathe loudly in front of Sect Leader Yun, yet you actually dared to challenge her. You have the demeanor your mother had back in the day.”

The beards of the several elders trembled instantly. Xiao Ting’s mother was a tyrant of the Xiao Family back then, with outstanding talent and was held in the palm of the old family head’s hand; they even allowed her to take a husband into the family. They had suffered quite a few losses because of her.

Originally, since Xiao Ting’s surname was Xiao, he should have called Xiao Zhan ’Eldest Uncle,’ but because Xiao Ting’s mother forcefully demanded that he call him ’Uncle,’ which was a kind of statement of position, the relationship became what it is now.

”I wasn’t intentionally challenging her; it was just how the conversation went.” Unable to tell the truth, Xiao Ting shrugged. ”Yun Yun was able to come to my Xiao Family in person—although she said it was on the way—she must have some magnanimity. If it really came down to it, I would have just asked Xun’er to take action.”

The Xiao Family members: ”...”

Dragons beget dragons, phoenixes beget phoenixes; is the son of a live-in son-in-law born with a knack for living off a woman?

”Bang!”

Suddenly, the table beside Xiao Zhan erupted with a shattering sound, turning into hundreds of debris fragments that flew everywhere.

Everyone in the assembly hall was startled. Xiao Zhan immediately mobilized his Dou Qi to form armor, his face full of wariness.

”I retract my previous statement.” Xiao Ting, who was also startled, patted his chest. ”This woman’s magnanimity is only average.”

Everyone: ”...”

If it were really only average, you would have ended up like this table.

”Regardless, Sect Leader Yun coming here is a good thing for our Xiao Family.” Coughing lightly to hide his embarrassment, Xiao Zhan withdrew his Dou Qi armor and sat back down in his chair. ”Before you arrived, she subtly explained that Nalan Yanran’s behavior was inappropriate and that it was not instructed by her.”

”After Yan’er goes to compete with Nalan Yanran in two years, this matter will be over.”

”Yan’er, I forgot to ask earlier, how has your cultivation been recently?”

”It’s alright.” Xiao Yan raised his hand, mobilizing his Dou Qi to condense it. ”A few days ago, I luckily broke through to Two-Star Dou Zhe.”

Xiao Ting: Ha.

Yao Lao: I’ve learned this line.

Xiao Zhan and the others: !?

Swish!

Xiao Zhan was like a fierce tiger; he arrived in front of Xiao Yan with extreme speed, reached out to grab Xiao Yan’s wrist, and slowly injected his own Dou Qi.

After discovering the cyclone in Xiao Yan’s Dantian, a look of wild joy appeared on his face, and he looked up and laughed loudly. ”Good, good, good! Yan’er, your current cultivation speed is countless times faster than it was three years ago.”

”As a cultivator, as long as you cultivate a suitable cultivation method and have some resources, reaching the Dou Master level within two years will definitely not be a problem.”

By then, when you compete with Nalan Yanran, you won’t lose too miserably; even if you are defeated, it will be an honorable defeat.

After all, the Xiao Family is merely a family with a Great Dou Master, and Xiao Yan is just one of the patriarch’s sons, while the Cloud Mist Sect is a faction with a Dou Huang expert, and Nalan Yanran is the Sect Leader’s personal disciple.

However, Xiao Zhan did not say these latter words out loud; on the surface, he naturally had to support Xiao Yan.

”Great, heaven bless my Xiao Family.” Several Xiao Family elders were also excited and happy on the side.

”Patriarch, I think we can grant Young Master Xiao Yan special permission to obtain a cultivation method now, or directly give him the family’s highest Profound Tier Low-grade fire-attribute cultivation method.” In his joy, the First Elder wanted to repair his relationship with Xiao Yan.

Upon hearing this, the other elders all spoke up in agreement.

”There is no need.” Xiao Yan politely declined everyone’s kindness. ”My teacher has already taught me a cultivation method; otherwise, I wouldn’t have reached Two-Star Dou Zhe so quickly.”

Hearing this, everyone tactfully did not ask further. Amidst his joy, Xiao Zhan did not forget to care for Xiao Ting. ”Ting’er, have you encountered any problems in your cultivation recently? If you need pills to improve your cultivation, the family will do its utmost to assist.”

”Me?” Seeing everyone looking at him, Xiao Ting mobilized his Dou Qi to form a layer of armor on the surface of his body. ”I also luckily broke through, breaking through to Great Dou Master.”

Xiao Zhan and the others: !?

Xiao Yan: As expected, I’m not yet good enough at showing off.

Yao Lao: Write that down, write that down. Showing off is like the wind, always by my side; I must use this line when I meet my old pals in the future.

”Hiss!”

A sound of gasping echoed through the assembly hall.

This was followed by exclamations, another round of thanking the ancestors for their protection, and gentle, kindly concern.

A fifteen-year-old Great Dou Master; with this talent, there is definitely no problem breaking through to Dou Ling before the age of twenty. Striving to reach Dou Wang by thirty, and by then...

”Regarding these medicinal herbs, Uncle, please help me collect them as soon as possible.” Xiao Ting listed some of the medicinal herbs needed to refine the Three-Pattern Azure Spirit Pill, Blood Lotus Pill, and Purple Heart Barrier-Breaking Pill.

He would have Yao Lao refine them, and after he consumed them, he could directly impact the Dou Ling level.

”I have a teacher, as Uncle and the elders know. The pills I need to refine will be able to improve the strength of a Great Dou Master, so Uncle, please try to collect as much as possible.”

”When the time comes, with my help in consuming the refined pills, it won’t be difficult to break through to a Seven-Star Great Dou Master in a short time, and I will strive to break through to Dou Ling within three to five years.”

Xiao Zhan and the others felt dizzy, as if they were in a dream.

Fearing that they would endlessly thank the ancestors, Xiao Ting called Xiao Yan to retreat.

”Brother Yan, I’m going to Xun’er’s place, what about you?” Xiao Ting asked.

”I won’t go and be a third wheel.” Not wanting to be fed a mouthful of dog food, Xiao Yan waved his hand. ”I’m going back to cultivate to raise my cultivation level as soon as possible, so I can go and refine the Green Lotus Core Flame.”

The two separated at the corner. Xiao Yan went straight back to his own courtyard, and only after sitting down to cultivate did he ask, ”Teacher, how is Brother Ting’s alchemy talent?”

”To tell you the truth, it is the best I have ever seen in my life. In terms of talent alone, in every aspect, he is above what I was back then, and also above you.” This time, Yao Lao did not intend to bring up the geniuses of Central Plains again. ”You must work hard.”

Xiao Yan did not seem surprised by this answer; he just smiled.

”I do indeed need to work harder!”

”I don’t want there to be a day where I can’t even see Brother Ting’s back.”

”Moreover, he is isolated and helpless; the pressure of facing the forces behind Xun’er is too great, and I need to help support him.”
