"Is Brother Xiao Yan unwilling to talk to Xun'er?"
Xiao Xun'er twisted the hem of her clothes with both hands, lowered her head, and looked pitiful.
"Hehe, what are you saying, Sister Xun'er? I've just been busy cultivating."
Xiao Yan touched his nose and said apologetically to Xiao Xun'er.
Xunxun'er's eyes widened as she asked, "Is what Brother Xiao Yan said true? You haven't taken Xunxun'er shopping in so long!"
Xiao Yan nodded heavily and said apologetically, "Then, how about tomorrow? I'll set aside a day tomorrow to spend with Xun'er, okay?"
Xiao Xun'er was taken aback upon hearing this. Her eyes curved into beautiful crescent moons as she smiled and said, "Brother Xiao Yan, don't lie to Xun'er! I'll be waiting for you!"
"A gentleman's word is as good as his bond!" Xiao Yan said somewhat embarrassed.
For more than a year, in order to wash away the shame as soon as possible, he practiced diligently every day and rarely had any free time, so he naturally neglected Xiao Xun'er.
Fortunately, Xiao Xun'er didn't hold it against him, and their relationship remained as close as ever.
In fact, sometimes Xiao Yan couldn't understand what this girl was after, or why she would throw herself at him like that.
However, after thinking about it for a long time, he still couldn't figure it out, so he didn't delve into it any further.
After all, having girls throwing themselves at him was proof of his charm, so Xiao Yan didn't think there was anything to delve into.
The two chatted for a while longer before parting ways.
After bidding farewell to Xiao Xun'er, Xiao Yan turned and headed to Xiao Ning's courtyard, only to find the Grand Elder there. He wandered around outside the courtyard for a while, waiting for the Grand Elder to leave.
"Brother Ning! I'm here!" Xiao Yan went straight into the house, his voice preceding his arrival.
Xiao Ning sat in the main seat of the living room, nodded, and did not speak. He lowered his head and pondered.
Xiao Yan, unfazed, found a seat, poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip, and asked, "Brother Ning, what brings the Grand Elder here?"
Xiao Ning raised his head and gave him a disdainful look: "You're asking a question you already know the answer to, aren't you?"
"hey-hey!"
Xiao Yan touched his nose and gave an awkward smile.
"Alright, I knew you'd been thinking about it. It's on the desk, go get it yourself!"
Xiao Ning blinked, instantly understanding his purpose, and smiled, saying, "By the way, when are you planning to leave?"
"Hehe, Brother Ning, I'm planning to leave in a couple of days! Mainly because Xun'er wants me to spend a couple of days with her!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan was overjoyed and replied, "I was just thinking that I'll be leaving soon and I don't know when I'll be back, so I wanted to spend more time with her!"
As he spoke, his eyes kept glancing towards the study, wondering what kind of treasure Xiao Ning had prepared for him.
"Holy shit, get out of here!"
Xiao Ning felt as if she had been stabbed in the heart, and couldn't help but laugh and curse: "You're showing off your love in front of me, so get the hell out of here!"
After saying that, he pretended to hit him on the head, but Xiao Yan quickly ran away and disappeared into the study.
As he approached the desk, he saw three sheets of Xuan paper, each with a large character written on it, spread out on the large marble table.
"oops!"
Xiao Yan leaned forward to take a look and was immediately shocked, staggering backward.
Those were just a few ordinary, unremarkable characters, but when he looked at them closely...
"boom!"
He felt an extremely terrifying will rising up, like Mount Tai pressing down on him, heading straight for Xiao Yan.
Before Xiao Yan's utterly horrified eyes, a blurry figure gradually solidified, its form incredibly tall, like a giant supporting the sky, occupying his entire field of vision.
The figure's eyes exuded an overwhelming aura, as if it were about to sweep across the world and devour everything in its path.
In heaven and on earth, I am the only one who reigns supreme.
He possessed unparalleled charisma, yet was also incredibly elegant.
What is most striking is the figure's face, handsome as jade, with a graceful figure that makes one feel inferior.
Xiao Yan felt incredibly small, like a small sailboat in a raging sea, where a single misstep would send him sinking into the turbulent waves.
He felt short of breath and unable to move.
Just when Xiao Yan could no longer hold on, he felt as if an arm had pulled him out.
"call!"
The scene before them changed instantly; the terrifying giant was gone, replaced by the study in the Xiao family's ordinary courtyard.
Xiao Yan took a deep breath and looked gratefully at Xiao Ning beside him, still feeling lingering fear: "Brother Ning, did you write this? It's terrifying, I feel like I'm about to die!"
Xiao Ning patted his shoulder and said, "It's my fault, Xiao Yanzi. I forgot to put it away. Your cultivation is still low, so it's normal that you can't withstand the spiritual impact contained in the words!"
After saying that, Xiao Ning stepped forward, reached out and rolled up a piece of Xuan paper with writing on it, and then tied it in the middle with a silk ribbon.
Seeing this, Xiao Yan stepped forward, pretending to help. He reached out and grabbed the two corners of another piece of paper, then tried to lift it with both arms, but couldn't budge it, as if he were holding not a piece of paper, but a mountain.
"Huh?"
