Fighting Soul Clan Demoness

Chapter 25 Yan'er, are you keeping a mistress outside?
As Xiao Yan continued to practice without sleep or food, the days seemed to pass a little faster, and in the blink of an eye, another half a month had passed.

During this period, apart from meeting with Hun Ruoruo on time every day and relying on the other's pure water fighting spirit to assist in cultivation, Xiao Yan almost stayed indoors and did not see anyone, completely immersed in the mysterious application and combination of Baji Collapse and Soul Piercing Strike.

Through his continuous experimentation, he discovered that training his physical strength to exhaustion, then cultivating his soul strength, formed a strange cycle. Therefore, without any rest period, Xiao Yan's strength improvement speed actually reached a new level.
The only downside, perhaps, is that interpersonal relationships are somewhat neglected.

"Boom boom boom!"

Hearing the sudden knock on the door, Xiao Yan, who had just recovered a little of his soul power, sat up and felt dizzy. He rubbed his swollen and aching temples and staggered towards the door.

Pushing open the door, Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows and raised his drooping eyelids a little higher——

"Father, why are you here?"

"Haha, why don't you come and see your own son? Come, sit down."

Xiao Zhan was standing at the door. He waved to Xiao Yan to follow him, then sat down casually on the stone bench in the yard, his face kind but with a hint of worry.

"Yan'er, it's probably been a few days since you last saw me."

Hearing this, Xiao Yan was startled, and then said with some shame: "Father, Yan'er has been very busy with work recently, and I really can't spare the time."

"Busy?" Xiao Zhan glanced at him and sighed, "Yan'er, ever since you and Nalan Yanran made a three-year agreement, we haven't had any communication at all."

First, he defeated Xiao Ning with the strength of the fifth level of fighting spirit, and then he was inexplicably involved in the mysterious death of the young master of the Jialie family. Xiao Yan had never even told his father about these things, and he had heard the information from his subordinates.

While Xiao Zhan felt relieved and emotional, he also felt a little worried in his heart.

It's normal for children to have some privacy when they grow up, but...
Looking at Xiao Yan's face that was slightly pale with shame, and the unsteady steps he took just now, Xiao Zhan's brows were knitted together, and he could no longer suppress the doubts in his heart.
"Yan'er."

"Father, tell me."

"You are almost an adult now, and I, your father, believe that my jurisdiction over you is not very extensive, but..."

Xiao Zhan's expression grew serious, and his tone suddenly became stern: "Only when it comes to cultivation, you must be down-to-earth and proceed step by step. You can't succeed by rushing in and rushing in. You must not take any crooked paths!"

Crooked approach?

Xiao Yan, who was already feeling dizzy due to the exhaustion of his soul power, became even more confused for a moment.

Crooked ways, when did I start taking the crooked ways?

He wondered, "Father, did you misunderstand something?"

"Misunderstanding?" Seeing the other party flatly deny it, Xiao Zhan sighed, his expression also tinged with a hint of anger: "Yan'er, although I haven't seen you many times recently, every time I saw you, you always looked weak and sickly."

"Plus, the guards reported earlier that you were once accompanied by a beautiful young woman with exceptional appearance, and that you had a very close relationship with her. How can you convince me that this is all a misunderstanding?"

"I???"

Xiao Yan stared at his father in astonishment, feeling as if the sky had fallen and the earth had collapsed.

My father thinks that his cultivation speed is so fast, is it because he has practiced some weird evil skills?
Are you still looking for a woman outside?

What an injustice this is.
Xiao Yan, his jaw nearly dropping in shock, only came back to his senses when he heard Yao Lao's merciless mockery from within the ring. His face flushed red as he fiercely glared at the ring in his hand before looking at Xiao Zhan in front of him with a huge head.

"Dad, please listen to my explanation."

After a cup of tea, and after Xiao Yan's painstaking explanation, Xiao Zhan's expression finally looked a little better.

He half-believed and half-doubted, "Yan'er, so your current achievements are all due to the help of that girl?"

"Exactly." Xiao Yan spread his hands and said helplessly, "Even if there really is some evil skill, with my strength that's not even a fighter, how can I possibly master it?"

Xiao Yan knew that although his strength was not entirely due to Hun Ruoruo, Yao Lao's current form was too sensitive after all, so it would be better to attribute all the credit to Hun Ruoruo first.

This way, my father won't be frightened again.

Hearing this, Xiao Zhan looked embarrassed: "In that case, it is my concern that has made me confused."

It would have been fine if he had discussed matters of love and sex with his own son in a righteous manner, but he actually caused a huge misunderstanding. Even with Xiao Zhan's shrewdness, his face turned red, looking quite funny.

"Don't think so."

Xiao Yan quickly waved his hands and said with a wry smile, "To be honest, Yan'er has been too intense in his cultivation, and even neglected to pay attention to family matters."

After saying that, he paused, and then said, intentionally or unintentionally, "By the way, Father, I wonder if there have been any unusual moves in the Jialie family recently?"

"What unusual moves could they make? Yan'er, just focus on your cultivation. As your father is here for you to worry about the family affairs," Xiao Zhan said with a smile, patting his chest, and then started chatting with Xiao Yan about family matters.

It was a rare opportunity for the father and son to sit together and chat, so they talked freely and laughed heartily. Xiao Zhan even asked curiously about the relationship between Xiao Yan and Hun Ruoruo.
While talking with Xiao Zhan, Xiao Yan didn't say anything, but in his heart he kept recalling the cold flash that passed through the other party's eyes when he talked about the Jialie family.

After going through so much, it would be a bit too slow to read people's expressions.

It was obvious that his father was hiding something from him.

Xiao Family, the residence area outside the Xiao Mansion

Different from the single room where the children of the Xiao family live, the scenery here is pleasant and the architecture is magnificent. Usually, it is a place where elders or people with great influence in the clan can live.

And in the center of this residential area is Xun'er's residence.

Xun'er stared out the window in a trance, slightly relaxing her strength and letting her arms support half of her young and pretty face, forming a beautiful landscape.

After a while, the girl seemed to realize something. She raised her hand and pulled up the roller blind beside her, blocking out the bright sunlight on the other side from the window.

"Mr. Ling." She whispered to the shadows.

Then, the shadow in the corner slowly condensed and spread, and then gathered into a human figure. The mysterious man in a black robe quietly appeared in front of Xun'er.

He knelt on one knee and said respectfully, "Miss."

Xun'er hummed softly, then opened her pink lips slightly and asked, "How's the investigation going on with that mysterious woman?"
