Chapter 26: The Mo Clan of Yan City

Yan City, the core city of the eastern province of the Jia Ma Empire, is the essential passage for travel between the interior of the Jia Ma Empire and the eastern regions.

If it were only Xiao Yan and Little Fairy Doctor, Xiao Yan would naturally choose to carry Little Fairy Doctor and fly directly back to Wu Tan City.

But since there is a Qing Lian who needs to be brought along on this trip, Xiao Yan chooses to travel by flying magical beast.

At this very moment, Xiao Yan is walking on the streets of Yan City with Little Fairy Doctor and Qing Lian.

Xiao Yan had already inquired about the flight schedules for flying magical beasts to Wu Tan City when he landed at the flying magical beast station in Yan City earlier.

Since Wu Tan City is not a very large city, the next flying magical beast to Wu Tan City will not depart until three days later. Thus, Xiao Yan took the two women to look for a suitable inn to stay at in Yan City.

"Yan, what do you think of that inn?" Little Fairy Doctor, with one arm wrapped around Xiao Yan's left arm, her soft chest naturally pressed against his arm, pointed diagonally at an inn not far away with her other hand.

The scale of the inn is not very large; it can only be called a small-to-medium inn, but it looks like it has some history. It is not very far from the flying magical beast station, and with people coming and going, a small-to-medium inn that can stay in business for a long time in such a place must have decent service, and the price will not be too expensive either.

Although Xiao Yan does not care about this bit of money, Little Fairy Doctor, who manages the vast majority of their gold coins, will not spend money recklessly; being frugal is still necessary.

"What about you, Qing Lian? What do you think?" Xiao Yan did not answer directly but turned his head to ask Qing Lian first, because if he expressed his opinion first, Qing Lian would absolutely not refuse.

However, given Qing Lian's personality, even if Xiao Yan did not express his opinion, she would never refuse a suggestion from Little Fairy Doctor, who is the mistress.

Sure enough, as soon as Xiao Yan asked, he heard Qing Lian reply: "Qing Lian thinks it is also good."

But even so, Xiao Yan will still do this in the future. After all, she is a girl who is not very good at expressing her own opinions, so he must take the initiative to ask.

Walking into the inn, a person looking like a waiter quickly came up to greet them.

"Three guests, are you here for a meal or to stay the night?"

"Stay the night, one superior room," Little Fairy Doctor said skillfully, then took a few gold coins from her storage ring and tossed them to the waiter.

The waiter, having received the gold coins, immediately beamed with joy, the wrinkles on his face deepening.

"Many thanks for the tip, guests. Please, this way." Saying this, the waiter stepped to one side and gestured with his right hand toward the stairs ahead.

Xiao Yan strode forward in the direction the waiter pointed, Little Fairy Doctor followed closely behind, and Qing Lian followed at the very end.

Only then did the waiter see Qing Lian's full appearance; she had been blocked by the figures of Xiao Yan and Little Fairy Doctor before, so he hadn't seen her.

The waiter's first reaction upon seeing Qing Lian was that this little girl was truly beautiful. The two in front were clearly masters, and it was expected that they would be good-looking. That Qing Lian, whose demeanor clearly marked her as a maid, was also so beautiful, meant that they must be a young master and miss from a wealthy family.

Immediately, he felt a bit of jealousy. For people like them who serve others, the skill of reading expressions is already ingrained in their bones. He could tell at a glance that these two "masters," Xiao Yan and Little Fairy Doctor, must treat Qing Lian very well, and with Qing Lian being beautiful, some jealousy naturally arose.

But under normal circumstances, it would stop there; after all, it was not his first time seeing servants who lived better than him, but this time it was a bit different. The waiter noticed that there were vaguely three small green dots in Qing Lian's eyes.

Because she had just awakened the Green Snake Three-Flower Pupils, Qing Lian could not control them well yet, so the three small green dots could usually be seen in her eyes. Many people had noticed this along the way, but none had paid much attention, thinking it was just a natural deformity, so Qing Lian did not pay much mind to the waiter staring straight at her eyes.

However, the waiter recalled some rumors he had suddenly heard in the past few days. It was said that a certain big shot from the Mo Clan had been looking for someone with small green dots in their eyes these past few days, and had even sent out several Great Dou Masters of the Mo Clan for this purpose.

After sending Xiao Yan and the others to their room, the more the waiter thought about it, the more his heart itched. The Mo Clan is a giant in Yan City; sixty percent of the industries in Yan City are in the hands of the Mo Clan, and there are even rumors that the Mo Clan has the support of the Misty Cloud Sect, the number one sect in the Jia Ma Empire.

If the person the Mo Clan is looking for is really the little girl I saw, then if I report her, the Mo Clan will certainly not treat me poorly. Perhaps by then, I could leave my current status behind, open my own shop, and own my own property and servants.

As for the possibility that Xiao Yan and the others might be people the Mo Clan cannot afford to provoke, the waiter never even considered it. In his view, if Xiao Yan and the others really had a background greater than the Mo Clan, how could they possibly stay in a small shop like theirs?

It must be said that the waiter's view was quite logical. But reality often does not reason with people; there really are people in this world whom the Mo Clan cannot afford to provoke who would stay in such a small shop!

At night, the three of them had already settled down to rest.

The youngest, Qing Lian, had already entered dreamland, while Xiao Yan and Little Fairy Doctor were still awake.

The habits honed in the Magical Beast Mountain Range made them keep one person on guard no matter what, but since they would be home in a few days, Xiao Yan decided to keep watch with Little Fairy Doctor. The two snuggled together on the bed, discussing knowledge about pharmacology and the like, occasionally interspersed with some of Xiao Yan's cheesy pick-up lines.

"Alright, be serious, where were we?" Little Fairy Doctor asked, snuggled in Xiao Yan's arms with a hint of feigned annoyance.

"Alright, alright, no more fooling around. We were just saying—" Xiao Yan poked Little Fairy Doctor's small face, and just as he intended to continue, his brows suddenly furrowed.

Little Fairy Doctor immediately realized something, quickly got up, put on her clothes, and remained vigilant of the movements around them.

Xiao Yan also got up from the bed, confirmed that Qing Lian in the other small room was unharmed, and also focused entirely on guarding against the movements around them.

"They're here! They're coming for us!" Xiao Yan judged.

Boom!

The inn room door was violently kicked open, and over a dozen men in uniform appeared at the doorway, with a large character "Mo" embroidered on the shoulders of their garments!

Although there were only a dozen or so, each one was at least at the Dou Master level of cultivation, and the leader had even reached the realm of a Great Dou Master!

Any Great Dou Master would find such a lineup incredibly troublesome. Clearly, although the people of the Mo Clan were not clear about the strength of the three, they had indeed used their full strength below the Dou Spirit level.

However, Xiao Yan did not pay much attention to such a lineup, but instead looked at a man wearing a waiter's uniform behind the Mo Clan Dou Masters.

"I recall that the three of us should not have provoked you; why would you frame us?"

Even now, Xiao Yan did not know the reason why the people before him had come, so he only assumed that this waiter was framing them.

Xiao Yan's cold and sharp gaze made the waiter's heart tremble, and he almost knelt down, but at the thought of the Mo Clan experts around him, his confidence suddenly surged. He faced Xiao Yan directly and said, "Young Master, one cannot speak nonsense. I did not frame you. The noble person from the Mo Clan has been looking for someone with green dots in their eyes these days. I saw that the Young Master's maid seemed to have them, so I just invited the lords of the Mo Clan to come and take a look. I hope the Young Master will behave himself and not put up any pointless resistance."

Green dots in the eyes? Does he mean the Green Snake Three-Flower Pupils! The Mo Clan, Yan City—

Sleeping memories were awakened from the depths of his soul; Xiao Yan remembered the origin of these people before him.

"Kid, you heard it all. If you're sensible, hand the person over immediately, otherwise—" The leader of the Mo Clan team licked the corner of his mouth, revealing a cruel smile.

"Yeah, that's right, kid. Hand the person over quickly, or I'll break your dog legs!"

"Hey, did you guys see the beauty behind this kid? Oh my, this is really—"

"If you hadn't said anything, I really wouldn't have noticed. Kid, hand this woman over too and you can get lost. Hurry up!"

The originally greedy and arrogant noise gradually took on a lewd tone.

The people of the Mo Clan laughed, and Xiao Yan also laughed, laughing very happily—
