Chapter 135 Mu Zhan: A True Man Is One Who Can Bend and Stretch. If You Don’t Call Me Brother Now, You Will Never Have the Chance in the Future.

As expected, Xiao Yan won the second round of assessment without any danger.

After burning the first batch of medicinal materials, Xiao Yan noticed the problem of Hou Tuzhi, and then he was amazing. He directly extracted and integrated eight kinds of medicinal materials at the same time, and finished refining the pill before the gray-robed man.

After seeing Xiao Yan's method of collecting the pill at the last moment, Yao Lao also sighed inexplicably.

This little guy is indeed a genius in refining medicine!

As for Xiao Yuan, although he had never come into contact with such a method of collecting pills, he was also quite excited.

This kind of thing of turning the tide at the conference was very exciting when I read the novel back then. Now I see it with my own eyes, and I still feel excited.

My brother Xiao Yan has the appearance of a Doudi!

Then, Xiao Yuan looked at Fa Ma on the side. Just now, he was shocked and angry because of Xiao Yan's bold way of collecting pills, and he smashed the railing with a slap.

Now, Fa Ma's face was like a change of expression, full of joy.

This change before and after is really interesting.

"Good!"

Then, Xiao Yuan took the lead in cheering.

After all, he is his own brother. If he doesn't praise him, should he let others praise him?

Ya Fei's eyes also flashed with a trace of surprise. Judging from the performance of Fa Ma and other people from the Alchemist Guild before, Xiao Yan's move just now was undoubtedly very risky.

But Ya Fei is very accurate in judging people. Xiao Yan may be slightly inferior to Xiao Yuan in calmness, but he is definitely not a reckless person.

Dare to do that, it means that you have enough confidence.

Now that she and Xiao Yuan have come together, Xiao Yan will be regarded as her brother-in-law in the future. These two brothers will definitely stand at the top of the Jia Ma Empire, or even at the top of the continent.

As Xiao Yuan's person, she naturally doesn't want to be just the patriarch of a family in the Jia Ma Empire.

Whether from the perspective of kinship or from the perspective of family interests, it is an important thing to win over Xiao Yan.

Although Xiao Yan usually obeyed Xiao Yuan's words, it was not good for Xiao Yuan to communicate with Xiao Yan about this kind of thing. The family still had to be sincere!

Since they were brothers, they naturally could not let their brothers suffer losses!

As for every loss the family suffered now, it would be returned many times in the future.

She believed in Xiao Yuan and her own vision of people!

So, she subconsciously turned her eyes to Hai Bodong and Mitel Tengshan, the two leaders of the family.

But she found that the two elders looked at each other meaningfully, and they obviously had the same idea.

If the Mitel family could not pick out another outstanding female clan member like Ya Fei, I am afraid that Ya Fei and Xiao Yuan would have introduced her to Xiao Yan.

The eldest princess Yao Ye, who was sitting not far away, was also thinking about something. The two brothers of the Xiao family were indeed extraordinary. One was so strong in combat that even the great grandfather of the Douhuang strongman would suffer a loss. The other was extremely outstanding in alchemy. If these two brothers joined forces, the future Jia Ma Empire would probably have a place for the Xiao family.

We must build a good relationship with them!

On the other side, Nalan Yanran was also excited and even a little moved by Xiao Yan's performance, but she also knew that Xiao Yan was not very interested in her "prospective sister-in-law" who came to break off the engagement.

When she thought of this, she couldn't help but have a headache.

Why can't the talents of these two brothers be restored earlier!

When the second round of assessment was completely over, the sky had gradually darkened, and the crescent moon slowly appeared from the horizon, illuminating the brightly lit imperial capital.

Looking at those people who failed to pass the assessment and looked pale, Fa Ma's eyes did not fluctuate at all, and he said lightly:

"Everyone, today's meeting will end here. Please have a good rest for a night. Tomorrow is the last round of our meeting, and it is also an important round to determine the champion. Therefore, everyone must not fail to attend due to various reasons, otherwise, it will be a lifelong regret."

Hearing Fa Ma's announcement that today's assessment was over, everyone on the square, including Xiao Yan, breathed a sigh of relief. After these two rounds of assessment, it was really tiring.

After putting the medicine cauldron back into the ring, Xiao Yan suddenly looked up and saw that after Fa Ma finished speaking, the gray-robed boy packed up his things and walked out of the square. Before leaving, he did not forget to throw a cold look at Xiao Yan.

Looking at the gray-robed boy's back slowly walking out of the square, Xiao Yan rubbed his forehead and squeezed out of the square after packing up his things.

After leaving the square, Xiao Yan raised his head and took a deep breath of fresh air. His tense spirit was slightly relieved. He looked at the young girls around him who came out of the audience and stared at him with shining eyes. He smiled bitterly and shook his head. Just as he was about to leave, he saw Xiao Yuan and Ya Fei coming hand in hand.

"Brother, sister-in-law."

Although Ya Fei had not yet married, Xiao Yan was very sensible and had consciously changed his words.

"You did a good job, but you still suffered some losses in the second round of the competition just now. After the competition is completely over tomorrow, I will discuss the problems that occurred in the process with you."

Hearing this, Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted. There must be Yao Lao's intention in this, and he nodded and said, "Well, okay!"

"Let's go. I know you want to rest for a while, but you can't rest just yet. We both have other things to do."

Xiao Yuan smiled and took Xiao Yan towards the east gate of the Imperial City.

"What else needs to be done?"

Xiao Yan blinked in confusion when he heard this, but still followed.

Third brother must have his own reasons for doing things.

"Hey, you'll find out when you go there."

Xiao Yuan smiled mysteriously when he heard this and gave it a try.

When Xiao Yuan and the others arrived at the east gate of the imperial capital, they found a somewhat familiar person standing guard here.

When he saw the trio approaching, his face became obviously embarrassed, but he still walked over bravely.

"Mu Zhan? Why are you here?"

Xiao Yuan asked somewhat unexpectedly.

"Ahem, isn't this the old man who sent you to the door? As for why, Brother Xiao should be able to guess it, right?"

Mu Zhan scratched his head and said with an uncomfortable look on his face.

Then, obviously not wanting to continue talking about this topic, Mu Zhan continued: "Brother Xiao, why do you have time to come to the city gate?"

"Oh, come pick me up."

Xiao Yuan smiled and nodded.

"Then don't just stand there down here. Come on, go up to the tower. Our Mu family still has some respect!"

After Mu Zhan said this, he invited with enthusiasm.

This appearance surprised Xiao Yan and Ya Fei.

I didn't expect this unruly guy to have such a side.

Xiao Yuan could guess a little about this.

Apparently, Mu Chen had made some suggestions to Mu Zhan in private. As for the specific content, he didn't know, but the result was very good for him.

"Then I won't be polite to you."

Xiao Yuan nodded and followed Mu Zhan up the tower.

"Ahem, Brother Xiao, I heard that you had a sparring match with Jia Lao before, and even he suffered a loss at your hands?"

Mu Zhan asked in a low voice while walking up the steps, with a sparkle in his eyes.

"Hey, don't listen to their nonsense. It's Jia Lao who is letting things slip."

Naturally, Xiao Yuan couldn't say that he was so awesome that he cut off Jiaxingtian's beard as a "truth", so he waved his hand modestly and said.

"Hey! Brother Xiao is too humble. The clan elder told me about this. How can it be false? I was indeed reckless with my sister-in-law that day. My sister-in-law is here today. I want to apologize to you. I, Mu Zhan, am a rude person. People, sometimes they can’t speak clearly, but I admire people like Brother Xiao who have real abilities. We can’t be acquainted without fighting, haha!”

In a rare gesture, Mu Zhan lowered his posture and apologized to Ya Fei.

"Um."

Yafei was also a little stunned by Mu Zhan's unprecedented move, but she quickly reacted and nodded with a faint smile.

Xiao Yan on the side was noncommittal. This was because the place where Mu Zhan challenged the issue was in the Imperial City, Nalan Mansion, so it was possible to stand here and talk. If it were outside the Imperial City, he was sure that his third brother would be there on the spot. You can scatter this guy's ashes and evaporate him directly, without any trace being investigated.

The third brother is indeed a good person to his own people, but to his enemies, he is definitely like a devil.

Seeing that Ya Fei also nodded, Mu Zhan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Ever since he learned about Xiao Yuan's terrifying combat power, he understood the worry of his family head. With Xiao Yuan's current potential, it is no longer something that the Mu family can mess with. There is someone who can afford it. If someone is really cornered, just call Shanghai Bodong on the spot and kill the Mu family!

Not to mention that his own talent is also quite terrifying. According to the current internal assessment of Xiao Yuan within these families, it will only take five to ten years at most for Xiao Yuan to stand at the pinnacle of the Jia Ma Empire. Such a strong person cannot be defeated by them. The family is absolutely untouchable!

If you can't afford to offend someone and you still have to show off in front of them, isn't that asking for death?

When it comes to his own life and the survival of his family, Mu Zhan's mind is still online.

Besides, Xiao Yuan is so strong, even if you call him brother, what will happen?

Don’t suffer any loss at all!

If you don't scream now, you will wait for someone to fight for the emperor in the future, but you have no right to get close to him like this!

As a child of a big family, Mu Zhan is naturally very familiar with interpersonal communication, but most people in the imperial capital are not worthy of him.

But in front of Xiao Yuan, he doesn't dare to show off now. If he is really noticed by others, he will be really screwed up.

Besides, this Xiao Yuan has some words and some truth.

"What about that? This is the place with the widest view of the city gate. Brother Xiao, just wait here. I have to go down and guard the gate, so I won't disturb you!"

When Mu Zhan saw that Xiao Yuan and the others had no intention of chatting with him, he consciously left and went downstairs with his soldiers.

"These children of big families do have some merits."

Looking at Mu Zhan's leaving figure, Xiao Yan said lightly.

"Haha, to be able to occupy a place among the three major families in the imperial capital, it is impossible for the Mu family to really cultivate a reckless man. Although Mu Zhan has an impatient temper, he definitely understands the rules that he should know."

Ya Fei on the side also nodded and smiled slightly.

"Well, and the Mu family has extremely broad connections in the military. After all, our Xiao family is stationed in the Jiama Empire. Naturally, it is impossible to kill Mu Zhan in front of everyone. There will be a series of follow-up "Trouble, we both have to go back to the academy and leave a mess behind. It's better to have one more friend than one more enemy."

Xiao Yuan also nodded and said with a smile.

The Mu family is different from the Mo family. The Mo family is just a nouveau riche local overlord from the northeastern provinces. They have no background and have a very bad reputation. If something goes wrong, they will naturally be blamed by everyone. Although Xiao Yuan did not wipe out all the Mo family, in fact, without his taking action, the families and forces that had been oppressed by the Mo family in the past would naturally attack them mercilessly.

But the Mu family is a big family after the Miter family. In terms of background, even the Nalan family is inferior. If it weren't for Nalan Yanran becoming a member of the Yunlan Sect, the Nalan family would actually be one of the three major families. The family with the weakest background.

Over the years, the Mu family has accumulated countless connections. These connections are all over the Jia Ma Empire. With the current power of the Xiao family, they cannot easily become enemies.

Besides, just because of one Mu Zhan, it is not enough to provoke the entire Mu family.

"Haha, just teach him a lesson. If it is because of such a trivial matter, he will be killed or even annihilated. I will feel uneasy, and it will make me look like a beauty is a disaster."

Ya Fei also laughed after hearing this.

Seeing that his brother and sister-in-law were showing affection again, Xiao Yan suddenly felt bad, and quickly interrupted and changed the topic: "Brother, we are already here, you should tell us who we are waiting for here, right?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yuan showed a strange smile, looked at Xiao Yan, and said slowly: "No, you are so smart, why haven't you reacted yet?"

Tap tap tap!

In the distance, the sound of horse hoofbeats sounded rhythmically, and several figures on horses slowly entered the sight of Xiao Yuan and the others.

"Well, since we are bringing my sister-in-law here, the person we are going to pick up must be someone we all three know. He should be someone from Wutan City. Could it be Master Guni!?"

Xiao Yan analyzed with a serious face.

? ? ?

"Oh my man, that's not funny."

Hearing this, Xiao Yuan shook his head speechlessly, looked at Xiao Yan who was telling a cold joke, and said in a deep voice.

"Pfft! You two brothers are real!"

Yafei, who was on the side, couldn't help but laugh at the conversation between the two brothers, and she covered her mouth and chuckled.

Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan looked at each other and shook their heads and laughed. Then Xiao Yuan hugged Ya Fei and jumped off the city gate with Xiao Yan.

Outside the city gate, the team of men and horses approached from far away. Although the leader was tired from work, his eyes were quite excited and showed no sign of fatigue.

Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan looked at the man and couldn't help but murmured: "Father!"
