Chapter 266

Yan Xing smiled without warmth and said: "Isn't it because we didn't know young friend Li Yao's character before?" Speaking of which, Yan Xing looked at Li Yao, "Seeing you today, you are truly worthy of being the genius valued by General Xue, a dragon among men."

In the other party's gaze, Li Yao clearly caught a flash of murderous intent and smiled:

"If one day I kill my way to your head, I hope you think the same."

"Ahem, ahem."

Yan Xing was choked by Li Yao's words, suppressed his inner anger, and said coldly: "I hope there is such a day."

"I will treat this matter as having nothing to do with your Yan family," Xue Jiulan said, "However, the people from your two families will stay honestly on this flying ship for now."

"Pray," Xue Jiulan scanned the practitioners of the Yan and Yang families and said with a faint smile,

"Pray that I don't find any handle."

Yan Xing's expression sank.

Has this woman already sent people to investigate?

So fast?

Abyss Crystal is also known as Forbidden Crystal; once used, even for a serious crime, the entire family could be destroyed!

However, he dared to let Yang Yuexin use it, so he naturally had some certainty.

Now Yan Xing can only hope that the people in his family didn't cut corners on the tasks he ordered.

Yan Xing tried his best to pretend to be nonchalant and smiled faintly: "General Xue, feel free to investigate; my Yan family has a clear conscience."

"Go down," Xue Jiulan ordered coldly.

The Yan family members returned to the interior of the flying ship under the guard of military practitioners.

The Xu woman picked up Yang Yuexin's corpse and glared fiercely at Li Yao.

The familiar gaze made Li Yao suddenly remember that this woman was the person in charge of the Yang family who appeared last at the auction that day.

He hadn't cared about it then, and he wouldn't care about it even more now.

After the Yan family members left,

these examinees who came to participate in the Top Ten Contest finally had the opportunity to properly size up Xue Jiulan, this legendary figure.

Excitement couldn't help but well up in their hearts.

Not yet thirty, she became a Guardian General who suppresses monsters in one region.

Whether it is strength or talent, she is a unique existence in the Dragon Nation!

Most of the examinees who can come here are children of major families, and they have heard of Xue Jiulan's deeds since they were young.

Many people regard Xue Jiulan as an idol!

And facing these admiring gazes, Xue Jiulan just waved her hand casually and said:

"Fifteen minutes later, the flying ship will arrive at the destination of the contest. Jiuling, distribute the parachuting tools."

Saying this, Xue Jiulan looked at Li Yao: "Come with me for a moment."

Li Yao followed Xue Jiulan and left.

The scene suddenly became lively.

"Who is that kid named Li Yao? Killing people in public, and General Xue actually wants to protect him?"

"What do you mean protect him? Didn't the Yan family say it themselves? The person Li Yao killed was a criminal; if a criminal is killed, they are killed, who can you blame?"

"That's still relying on General Xue standing on his side!"

"Bullshit, don't insult my idol; General Xue has always been fair and selfless!"

"I remember there was news yesterday that General Xue took an apprentice in Sangyu City, right? Could it be this kid?"

"Hey, you're really not wrong! I think it's this kid!"

"Holy crap! I was thinking of taking General Xue as a teacher, but I didn't expect this kid to get there first!"

"Speaking of which, Li Yao's strength seems to be really not simple; I didn't even see clearly the action of killing that woman just now."

"Indeed, the strength attribute and agility attribute shouldn't be low; he is worthy of being the person valued by General Xue."

"Don't be in a hurry to envy; such a person appearing in the upcoming Top Ten Contest is not a good thing for us!"

"How about we eliminate him first?"

Everyone hit it off, and the discussion instantly evolved from General Xue to how to work together to eliminate Li Yao.

The practitioners who can come here are not weak, and certainly not stupid.

No one would look down on Li Yao because he is a Summoner.

They only know that the person General Xue values will definitely be their strong enemy!

Even a strong enemy not weaker than the level of the Little Sword Head!

"Why are they like this?"

Shang Yana listened from the side and said worriedly.

"Don't worry, these guys are just talking," Shang Zijin said disdainfully, "At the beginning, there might be one or two practitioners who go to deal with Li Yao."

"When they see Li Yao's strength, these guys will be running away before they can even blink; who would dare to move him?"

"So that's how it is!" Shang Yana's eyes narrowed into crescents, and she giggled and complimented, "Sister is still the smart one!"

"With your brain, you couldn't think of that?" Shang Zijin looked at her younger sister with interest, and then suddenly thought of something, and tapped Shang Yana's forehead in anger.

"I think as long as it's something related to Li Yao, your brain is like it's burnt out!"

"No way!"

Shang Yana stomped her feet shyly.

At this time,

Li Yao followed Xue Jiulan to an independent room.

"Thank you, Senior Xue, for this matter," Li Yao thanked her sincerely.

If it weren't for her, the Xu woman alone would have been enough to give him a hard time.

With his current strength, he still has a distance to go before he can deal with a Fifth Advancement practitioner.

Xue Jiulan sat in her seat, brewed a cup of coffee, and said casually,

"I didn't help with this matter either, so there's no need for thanks."

Li Yao thought she was talking about the issue of dealing with the Yan family and said: "I'm talking about Senior Xue saving my life."

"I'm talking about that matter too," Xue Jiulan took a sip of coffee and smiled faintly, "Don't think I don't know that you kid wouldn't do things you're not sure about."

"Seeing the Yan family people present, you still dared to kill in a rage."

"I guess you had plenty of ways to survive in front of the Xu woman."

"Am I right?"

To this, Li Yao could only smile and not answer.

The reason he directly activated 【Shackles】 at that time, instead of letting the Void Mantis kill the person, was to prevent the Yan family people from making a move.

With the existence of the Chess Player talent, as long as they cannot detect the Void Mantis's concealment, he is an immortal body.

It's not that he doesn't trust Senior Xue; the Chess Player is his foundation for survival, and the fewer people who know, the better.

If Senior Xue hadn't made a move, this talent would have been exposed to everyone's eyes.

Even if it wasn't saving his life, it was still a big help.

"In any case, thank you again, Senior Xue!"

"Alright, no need to say more about this matter. Since you are my stud..."

Xue Jiulan's hand holding the coffee trembled, almost losing her grip, and she hurriedly changed her words.

"Since you are a student of my friend the Dean, I should naturally take care of you."

To change the subject, Xue Jiulan hurriedly talked about business.

"I called you over because there is one thing I want to ask you." ===== CHAPTER 268 =====
