Chapter 50

Looking at Xiao Yan, who was holding the cultivation technique and walking out of the small room, Xun Er shook her head and could only say helplessly, "I’ll just have to trust you for now."

Walking out of the room, Xiao Yan saw the clan members nearby who were still immersed in shock, and he shrugged lightly. After Xun Er came out, the two of them strolled out of the small path leisurely.

Since there was still quite some time before the two hours were up, Xiao Yan and Xun Er were not in a hurry to leave. The Martial Qi Pavilion was usually a forbidden area, and it was rare to have the opportunity to come in today, so it was good to look around and satisfy their curiosity.

Just before leaving the path, Xun Er casually entered a small room and took a scroll of a low-grade Yellow Class Martial Qi technique. Then, she accompanied Xiao Yan and walked into a few other paths.

Today, the Martial Qi Pavilion was undoubtedly the liveliest day in years. Each path was crowded with people, and the clan members, their faces flushed with excitement, were fiercely attacking the light barriers. The cheers of the young boys, accompanied by the shattering of the light barriers, echoed continuously.

In such an atmosphere, a faint smile hung on Xiao Yan’s face.

After walking out of another small path, Xiao Yan calculated the time, stretched lazily, and smiled at Xun Er beside him, "Let’s go, it’s almost time."

Xun Er nodded indifferently and followed Xiao Yan around the corner of the small path, then walked straight out of the Martial Qi Pavilion.

Turning the corner of the path, Xiao Yan’s eyebrows suddenly raised. Not far away, Xiao Mei, dressed in a red skirt, was anxiously pacing in front of a light barrier, her pretty face flushed. It seemed she wanted to obtain the cultivation technique inside but lacked the ability to break the barrier...

Today, Xiao Mei was wearing a bright red dress, the slightly tight belt perfectly outlining her slender waist, and her alluring curves were extremely tempting.

At this moment, her pure and charming face was covered with anxiety, and her cute appearance with her eyebrows tightly furrowed made the surrounding young boys almost have the impulse to sacrifice themselves for her.

...

Xiao Mei’s mood was terrible, almost described as being on edge. Before entering the Martial Qi Pavilion today, her father had secretly told her a room number and especially instructed her to obtain the cultivation technique inside. He had gone to great lengths to get this information from the Martial Qi Pavilion staff, and he believed that if Xiao Mei could obtain this high-grade Yellow Class wind attribute cultivation technique, she would definitely gain an advantage in the starting line of Martial Qi cultivation.

However, although Xiao Mei’s father had obtained the exact room number, he had overlooked the strength of the room’s barrier. Since Xiao Mei found this place earlier, she had been trying for nearly an hour but still failed to break it. Although other clan members had offered to help, attracted by her beauty, the barrier could only be broken by one person. If more than two people tried, the barrier would become stronger, and in the end, it would all be in vain.

With the two hours almost up, if she couldn’t break the barrier, Xiao Mei would get nothing. Thinking of the consequences of not having a cultivation technique, her charming big eyes couldn’t help but well up with tears, her pitiful appearance evoking sympathy.

Her slightly misty gaze swept over the surrounding young boys, and Xiao Mei smiled bitterly, shaking her head. Her beautiful eyes suddenly paused.

Not far away, a black-clothed boy with his hands behind his head was walking calmly.

Sniffing, Xiao Mei’s previously despairing heart quietly revived. Wiping away the tears about to fall, she bit her lip and looked pitifully at the approaching Xiao Yan, hoping he could help her.

The surrounding young boys, seeing Xiao Mei’s appearance, shifted their gazes and finally stopped on the slowly approaching Xiao Yan. Their whispers gradually faded, and their gazes were slightly mixed with reverence.

For a moment, the originally noisy small path became deathly silent.

Under the gaze of dozens of people on the small path, Xiao Yan’s face remained calm as he walked straight past Xiao Mei, who was about to speak, without even a glance.

Slightly opening her red lips, Xiao Mei watched Xiao Yan, who ignored her. After a while, a bitter smile appeared on her beautiful face, and she shook her head lightly. Thinking of her attitude towards Xiao Yan over the years, the resentment that had just risen gradually dissipated.

"Ha ha, this is what I deserve. I really am a hateful person, reaping what I sowed..." Slowly squatting down, Xiao Mei’s shoulders trembled slightly, and a somewhat suppressed sob echoed in the quiet small path.

Seeing Xiao Mei squatting on the ground like an abandoned kitten, the surrounding young boys all sighed sadly and shook their heads.

Squatting on the ground and sobbing, Xiao Mei suddenly sensed something amiss in the atmosphere. Slowly lifting her tear-streaked face, she was stunned.

In front of her, the boy who had already walked away was now back, hands behind his head, walking slowly.

"Move aside." Glancing at the pitiful Xiao Mei, Xiao Yan said indifferently.

"Ah? Oh..." Stunned again, Xiao Mei finally came to her senses, her face showing joy as she obediently moved aside.

Under the curious and relieved gazes of the crowd, Xiao Yan walked to the light barrier, extended his palm, and took a deep breath.

His body was momentarily still, and then, like a bolt of lightning, he suddenly moved. Xiao Yan’s body spun sharply, and his right foot whipped out, the sound of the wind breaking through his pants leg.

"Bang!" A fierce kick hit the light barrier, ripples rapidly spreading, and finally, in the shocked gazes of the crowd, it burst.

Maintaining the kicking posture, Xiao Yan slowly retracted his foot, twisted his neck, and turned around calmly, walking towards Xun Er in the distance.

"Cousin... thank you... I’m sorry." As Xiao Yan passed by, Xiao Mei said timidly.

"Uh-huh."

Glancing at the girl who had finally lost her arrogance, Xiao Yan nodded indifferently and then disappeared at the end of the small path under the admiring gazes of the young boys.
