Chapter 141 Xiao Yu
"That's true. As a second-grade alchemist, you don't lack gold coins!" Xiao Zhan smiled and didn't force him to give it.

Xiao Yan smiled when he saw Xiao Zhan took back the card. There was no need for boring politeness between father and son. Just like when Xiao Yan took the gold coins Xiao Zhan gave him, there was no false politeness. Xiao Yan needed it at the time, so he accepted it directly.

"Did you offend the power of the empire?" Xiao Zhan asked in a low voice.

"I guess so! But it's not an offense. Even if they knew, they wouldn't dare to do anything. I'm just afraid that they will use you to threaten me." Xiao Yan nodded.

"Well, then you should stay in the family for a while and keep a low profile as much as possible! After you hold the completion ceremony, go find your eldest brother, or go to Canaan College for further studies. With your strength, it will be difficult to improve if you continue to stay in Wutan City." Xiao Zhan said.

"This time I returned to the family, I planned to hold the completion ceremony, then apply for Canaan College, and then continue to go out for training." Xiao Yan nodded and smiled.

"But you have to be careful! Xiao Yu is back. She found out that you injured her brother and she wants to settle the score with you!" Xiao Zhan said with a joking smile.

"Xiao Yu?" Xiao Yan smiled slightly when he heard the name. Since Xiao Yan had never peeked at her taking a bath when he was a child, the relationship between the two was naturally pretty good.

Later, when Xiao Yan lost his talent for cultivation, in addition to Xiao Xun'er helping Xiao Yan out, Xiao Yu also helped Xiao Yan several times.

It was Xiao Yu's help that made Xiao Yan give up a few points to Xiao Ning when they competed.

"Haha, is this your mount? How come the aura it exudes is stronger than mine?" Xiao Zhan naturally looked at Hei Yu beside Xiao Yan and said with a smile.

"This is a magical beast that was accidentally hatched. Its strength is now at the third level." Xiao Yan pointed at Hei Yu and introduced.

"I didn't expect that you would gain so much from this experience outside!" Xiao Zhan said in surprise.

"It's all due to luck!" Xiao Yan smiled and said.

"You just came back, so you should go and have a good rest. Your father won't disturb you any more." Xiao Zhan said with a smile.

Xiao Yan nodded, asked Hei Yu to stay in the back mountain, and then went down the mountain with his father Xiao Zhan and headed towards his residence.

After walking into the room, I found it to be very clean and tidy. Even though I hadn't been home for a year, the room was still the same without any change.

After Xiao Yan returned to the room, he took a shower, washed the blood off his body, and then lay down on the bed, thinking about how to deal with the issues of Xun'er and Xiao Yixian.

Xiao Yan was reluctant to give up either of these two girls.

Let Xiao Yan give up Xiao Xun'er? This is simply impossible. Xiao Yan didn't even know the efforts and sweat he put in to be with Xun'er.

But could Xiao Yan give up Xiao Yixian? That was also difficult. Although Xiao Yan didn't spend a long time with Xiao Yixian, being with her made Xiao Yan experience the feeling of being in his hometown as a child before traveling through time.

Xiao Yan still can't forget that kind of life in the mountains.

"Oh! It's difficult!" Xiao Yan sighed, a little overwhelmed. He was very scared now. When he opened his eyes tomorrow, a girl would say something like "I want to quit, I wish you happiness" to him.

But if Xiao Yan was asked to go directly to Xun'er, he couldn't move his legs. After all, the looks in the two people's eyes when they left Xiao Yan were enough to stab him.

Xiao Yan was in his room, pacing back and forth anxiously, not knowing what to do.

Xiao Yan waited blankly in front of the door for a long time, wanting to see if Xun'er would come to see him.

Unfortunately, Xiao Yan was disappointed. Until dark, Xiao Yan still didn't wait for Xun'er to arrive. Xun'er, who missed him every day, was gone!
"Oh!" Xiao Yan sighed deeply. He had no choice but to close the door and continue lying on the bed thinking about life.

"Bang!" With a loud noise, the door was suddenly kicked open.

When Xiao Yan heard the noise, he jumped up from the bed in an instant, wondering who was so bold as to kick his door. It turned out to be a woman, very beautiful, with a graceful figure, especially her long legs, which made people unable to take their eyes off her.

"Xiao...Xiao Yu!" Xiao Yan was stunned when he saw the person coming.

"You little bastard, you're finally back. I took such good care of you before, and this is how you repay me. You beat my brother so badly that he has to lie in bed for several months." Xiao Yu cursed angrily.

"Hmph! Your brother is seeking death himself! I've already shown mercy, but he still dared to attack me. I just made him lie in bed for a few months, and that was out of your consideration." Xiao Yan was in a very bad mood at the moment because of the matter between Xun'er and Xiao Yixian, so naturally he didn't speak politely.

"So, do I have to thank you?" Xiao Yu sneered.

"No need to thank me!" Xiao Yan said unhappily.

"Let me teach you a lesson first, you bastard!" Xiao Yu got angry when he saw that Xiao Yan didn't even show a hint of apology.

After saying that, Xiao Yu raised his leg and kicked towards Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan stared at a pair of long, snow-white legs coming towards him, his eyes widened, and forgot to resist for a moment.

Seeing that Xiao Yan did not fight back, Xiao Yu's anger subsided a lot and he reduced his strength.

"Bang!" After a muffled sound, Xiao Yan did not move at all, standing there without any reaction.

But Xiao Yu was different. She covered her long legs, half-squatted on the ground, grimaced in pain, and her face was frighteningly pale.

"You... why are you so hard! Is there something stuffed inside?" Xiao Yu was about to cry in pain. She felt like she had just kicked steel.

"Fortunately, you restrained your strength just now, otherwise your leg would have been broken now." Xiao Yan said with a pout.

“I will not care about what happened this time. Although you feel sorry for your brother, he must be punished if he makes a mistake. He did something bad in the family competition, and I just made him lie in bed for a few months. But if he did something bad outside, it would be a loss of face for the Xiao family, and he would die directly.” Xiao Yan said lightly.

"Then you can just teach him a lesson, why are you so harsh!" Xiao Yu knew that what Xiao Yan said made sense, but he still said it stubbornly.

"If I didn't hit him hard enough, how can I learn a lesson?" Xiao Yan said speechlessly.

"You..." Xiao Yu wanted to refute, but her legs felt severe pain again, and she clenched her teeth in pain.

"Are you here just to vent your anger for your brother? Is there nothing else?" Xiao Yan said helplessly as he looked at Xiao Yu, who was half-squatting on the ground and unable to stand up.

"The clan leader asked me to call you to the hall to have the New Year's Eve dinner together." Xiao Yu took a deep breath and said.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!" Xiao Yan said speechlessly.

Xiao Yan was not in a hurry to eat, he was in a hurry because he thought Xun'er and Xiao Yixian would also be there.

"I... I can't walk anymore!" Xiao Yu covered her legs and said with a blushing face.

"Alas! You are too weak! After you kicked me, you can't even stand up." Xiao Yan sighed helplessly.

However, Xiao Yan needed to keep a low profile in everything he did, so he did not use the strange fire to heal her. For this kind of injury, applying some healing medicine would be enough, and the Xiao family had no shortage of healing medicine.
