Chapter 93 Damn, Big Brother and Second Brother! Why are you here just now? Come on, do it!
"This"
Everyone looked at Xue Lan's appearance and looked at each other in confusion.
Although the two captains mentioned a few days ago that their two younger brothers might come, who are also the third and fourth captains of the Motie Mercenary Group, they were a little surprised to meet them at such a time and place.
Moreover, it is said that one of the third and fourth captains is unable to cultivate Dou Qi, and the other's cultivation level inexplicably regressed and remained at the third stage of Dou Qi.
But judging from the performance of the third captain just now, his strength is probably not much inferior to that of the two captains.
"Xue Lan, have you met the third captain?"
Danzi couldn't help but ask when he saw this.
"Yes, didn't the captain ask me to escort a batch of goods to Wutan City two and a half years ago? It was the Third Captain who was in charge of the connection. Do you remember the kindling that the Second Captain personally watched over and dried for three months? That was for the Third Captain."
Xue Lan said with a smile.
"Oh! I remember now!"
Danzai and the others all looked enlightened when they heard this.
This was a strange thing at the time, but since the second commander didn't say anything, they didn't dare to ask.
"Okay, lead the way back to Stone Desert City."
Xiao Yuan smiled and said when he heard this.
"it is good!"
Xue Lan nodded, and then arranged her mercenaries to prepare for departure.
Xiao Yuan also took out a white robe and put it on.
After all, I'm going to meet my two brothers, so I have to dress neatly and look neat.
After putting on this white robe, Xiao Yuan's elegant and gentlemanly temperament was highlighted again.
Now everyone understood why Xue Lan looked like that.
He has both good looks and ability. Which girl wouldn’t like him?
Half an hour later, the outline of a huge city located on the eastern outskirts of the Tagor Desert also appeared faintly in everyone's sight.
Looking at the Stone Desert City not far away, not only Xue Lan and the others breathed a sigh of relief, but even Xiao Yuan smiled a little more. After more than ten days of hard training and walking in the desert, and almost getting lost in the desert, he was really exhausted.
Now that he has a place to rest, it is naturally a happy thing for him.
Compared with the cities within the empire, the cities in the desert are a bit more simple and heavy. Perhaps because of the proximity to the Tagor Desert, the defenses here are much stricter than those within the empire. In the cities, everywhere Heavily armed soldiers were seen patrolling.
After entering the city, Xiao Yuan followed Xue Lan and his group and headed towards the south of the city. After turning a few streets, a courtyard that was almost as large as the Xiao family compound in Wutan City appeared in his sight.
At the top of the courtyard, a flag swayed in the wind, with the characters "Motie Mercenary Regiment" painted on it, faintly revealing an aura of iron-blooded hardness.
"In this Stone Desert City, our Desert Iron Mercenary Group can be ranked in the top three in terms of strength. Only the Sand Mercenary Group can surpass us. Their leader is a great fighter, so the Sand Mercenary Group's position is unshakable. In addition to the Sand Mercenary Group, in the entire Stone Desert City, only the Storm Mercenary Group can barely compete with us."
Walking towards the courtyard, Xue Lan introduced herself to Xiao Yuan standing beside her with a smile on her face.
Xiao Yuan nodded in response.
His eldest brother Xiao Ding has always been very smart and has always been able to plan everything out, while his second brother Xiao Li is cautious and fierce, and is smooth in his dealings, but his methods are also cruel enough.
Both of them were very talented. At the age of about 20, they had already reached the level of Fighting Master. Although they were not top-notch, according to the admission standards of Canaan Academy, they could be considered to have super S-level potential.
But for the sake of their two younger brothers, Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan, who had unusual cultivation abilities at the time, the two did not go to Canaan College, but chose to travel outside, and eventually came to this vast desert to work hard, also wanting to build a place for their two younger brothers to settle down.
As an elder brother, Xiao Yuan was quite moved to be able to do this. With sincerity in return, the relationship between the four brothers as a family is very good.
Following Xue Lan, passing through several small paths, they met many members of the Mo Tie Mercenary Group along the way. When they saw Xiao Yuan, a look of surprise appeared on their faces, and then they started whispering.
"Haha, the two captains often mention you and Young Master Xiao Yan. It seems that the guy I sent back to report the news has already spread the news about you."
Looking at the expressions of the mercenaries around her, Xue Lan tilted her head and smiled sweetly.
Xiao Yuan nodded calmly and gave a kind smile to the mercenaries who were looking at him.
Following Xue Lan around a small path again, a spacious hall appeared in front of him. Hearing the two familiar male voices coming from inside, Xiao Yuan's smile widened and he shouted directly: "Big brother, second brother! I miss you so much!"
Xue Lan, who was standing by, had only seen Xiao Yuan being calm and decisive in the past. But now, seeing the excitement and eagerness in the eyes of this handsome young man, and his out-of-control shouting, she was quite surprised.
Along with Xiao Yuan's shout, the door was opened and a tall figure walked out. He was wearing mercenary uniform, and his dark eyes showed laziness and sinisterness. His face was full of smiles, but underneath this smile, there was a hint of ferocity like a wolf.
But when his eyes fell on the handsome young man in front of him, the ferocity hidden in the smile on his face suddenly disappeared, and was replaced by a warm and brilliant smile.
"Brother, did you miss me?"
Xiao Yuan asked with a smile, his eyes flashing with excitement that was difficult to conceal.
"Haha, Xiao Yuan, I didn't expect you to come here so soon!"
Hearing this, Xiao Li took a step forward, hugged Xiao Yuan tightly, and patted his shoulder heavily, his voice also full of excitement and joy.
"Aren't you thinking about your big brothers? Haha!"
Xiao Yuan also hugged Xiao Li tightly and said with a smile.
"I heard that you have become a master? Hehe, it's really worth my three months of sunbathing!"
Xiao Li let go of Xiao Yuan, looked him up and down, and asked with a smile.
"Thanks to my second brother's help!"
Xiao Yuan nodded upon hearing this and thanked him sincerely.
"Come on, let's go in and see big brother first. He always talks about you."
As he spoke, Xiao Li grabbed Xiao Yuan, and without even saying hello to Xue Lan who was standing beside him, he turned around and rushed into the hall.
Walking into the hall, Xiao Yuan's gaze was cast towards his eldest brother Xiao Ding, who was sitting at the first seat. He was dressed in a white robe and was smiling at Xiao Yuan who came into the room. His eyes, which were brighter than those of ordinary people, revealed some wisdom and imperceptible cunning.
"Xiao Yuan, it's only been a few years since we last met, but you've grown up a lot!" Xiao Ding slowly stood up, looked at Xiao Yuan, who was taller than Xiao Li, a hint of pampering and tenderness flashed across his eyes, and he smiled.
"Big brother."
Xiao Yuan took a few steps forward and gave Xiao Ding a hug, then he said with a smile, "Brother is becoming more and more handsome. I wonder how many girls he will charm in the future."
Xiao Ding was speechless after hearing this, and shook his head, then he counterattacked: "You kid, you're teasing me, how are you getting along with Xiao Yu? She has liked you since she was a child, can't you see that?"
"Uh hey, it's good."
Hearing this, Xiao Yuan smiled shyly and scratched his head.
Seeing this, Xiao Ding and Xiao Li looked at each other and smiled. They naturally understood what Xiao Yuan meant.
"By the way, didn't you come out to train with Xiao Yanzi? Why didn't you come with us?"
Xiao Li on the side suddenly asked.
"Xiao Yan has been valued by a high-level alchemist and has been accepted as his last disciple. Don't worry, nothing will happen to him."
Xiao Yuan smiled and comforted him when he heard this.
"Tsk, a pharmacist!"
Xiao Li couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this.
Now that he has experienced so many years, he naturally knows what an alchemist represents, and he is now much more reassured about Xiao Yan.
"Xiao Yuan, when you and Xiao Yanzi were out, father sent us a message saying that you had broken through to the Fighting Master level. The mercenary who just came back to report also said that your strength has reached the Fighting Master level. What is your current strength?"
Xiao Ding looked at Xiao Yuan with a little curiosity and asked with a smile.
“Five stars.”
Xiao Yuan smiled faintly.
"hiss!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Li widened his eyes, took a breath, and looked at Xiao Yuan in surprise.
In less than two years, this little guy had gone from having no fighting spirit to rising to five stars? He was actually one star stronger than me?
Xiao Ding also looked at Xiao Yuan in shock and blinked.
This kid has actually caught up with me?
After a moment of shock, Xiao Ding came back to his senses, shook his head, and said helplessly: "If I tell others about your talent, it will probably scare people to death!"
"Indeed, you are now on the same level as my elder brother!"
While Xiao Li sighed, he couldn't help but look at Xiao Yuan again.
"There is still more than a year before I should go to the Nalan Mansion to cancel the engagement. I need to have some strength. If I fail to beat Nalan Yanran, won't it bring shame to the family?"
Xiao Yuan smiled slightly when he heard this and said calmly.
"Cancel the engagement?"
Xiao Ding and Xiao Li were stunned for a moment. After a moment, the smile on Xiao Li's face gradually faded, and his expression became much more sinister. He said, "Father did briefly mention this matter, but you, the person involved, must tell me and your eldest brother what happened in detail, right? I heard that Nalan Yanran also brought people from the Yunlan Sect to her home?"
"Haha, it's nothing actually."
Xiao Yuan smiled and immediately explained to his two brothers what had happened at that time.
“In fact, it’s fine to just come here to cancel the engagement, but bringing people from the Yunlan Sect with you to threaten my father with force is not very smart. However, the strong are respected in the Douqi Continent, and pinning one’s hopes on past relationships and other people’s conscience is an unrealistic and weak mindset.
Fortunately, my talent is still acceptable at the moment. She doesn't want to be with a piece of trash she doesn't know, so why would I want to spend the rest of my life with a stupid person who embarrasses my father? This Douqi Continent is so big, there are many women who are better than her. "
Xiao Yuan concluded with a faint smile.
"You are quite open-minded!"
Hearing this, Xiao Ding's eyes flickered slightly and he said with a smile.
"If it was before, I didn't have a good impression of Yunlan Sect, but some time ago, I met another woman from Yunlan Sect, and she is much better than Nalan Yanran."
A smile that all men understand appeared on Xiao Yuan's face.
Xiao Ding and Xiao Li naturally understood their younger brother, and they immediately realized that this boy had taken a fancy to the woman he was talking about, and they immediately started gossiping.
"Elaborate?"
Xiao Li put his arm around Xiao Yuan's shoulders and said with a smile.
"Ahem, don't be impatient, second brother. Let me keep you in suspense. It won't be too late to talk about it after we confirm their relationship. Anyway, she is a hundred, a thousand, or even ten thousand times stronger than that Nalan Yanran!"
Xiao Yuan paused and said mysteriously.
"Haha, then I am really looking forward to it. However, don't let Xiao Yu down."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ding smiled and nodded, then he became serious and gave a warning.
"Don't worry, big brother, don't you understand my temper?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan nodded seriously, pounded his chest, and his face was full of confidence.
"Well, I have always believed in you."
Xiao Ding nodded slightly and said with a smile.
"Okay, let's not talk about this for now. I've been looking forward to seeing you for so long. Come on, accompany me and my big brother tonight and have a good drink!"
Xiao Li smiled heartily, hooked his arm around Xiao Yuan's shoulders, and spoke enthusiastically.
"Okay! Let's get drunk!"
Xiao Yuan also laughed.
