Battle Through the Heavens: Inward Cultivation, Crying Xiao Yan

No wonder it looks yellow from a distance.

Above the city gate are three large red characters: Stone Desert City.

At the city gate, there were more than a dozen soldiers guarding the area collecting taxes.

Even in such hot weather, these soldiers were still wearing full armor.

Xiao Yang knew that this was probably to guard against snake people.

Because of the hot weather, the soldiers were somewhat irritable and kept urging the people at the city gate to hurry up.

"Hurry! Hurry!"

"Hurry up and go inside after you hand it in. Be mindful of yourselves!"

Xiao Yang frowned as he looked at the rather long queue at the city gate.

He's too lazy to wait in line.

Suddenly, the Purple Cloud Wings on his back unfolded.

He put one arm around Little Fairy Doctor's waist.

Then, with a flap of its purple cloud wings, it flew directly into the city.

"what!"

"What is this?!"

"Could it be some kind of Dou Wang powerhouse?!"

"My God, there was actually a Dou Wang powerhouse right next to me just now!"

The surrounding civilians and mercenaries couldn't help but gasp in shock.

The soldiers watched as Xiao Yang flew directly into the city, but they didn't dare say a word.

In the Douqi Continent, strength is everything.

Rules are always made for the weak.

After flying into the city, Xiao Yang was too lazy to continue walking and flew directly to the center of the city.

After asking a passerby for directions to the Desert Iron Mercenary Group, Xiao Yang led Little Fairy Doctor directly there.

Xiao Yang did not expect that the location of the Mo Tie mercenary group was in the south of the city, rather than in the center.

However, he didn't care.

Soon, he led Little Fairy Doctor to a courtyard.

This courtyard is very large, comparable to the Xiao Family Compound.

There are also several flags in the courtyard.

The words "Mo Tie Mercenary Corps" were written on them, subtly revealing an aura of iron-bloodedness.

Xiao Yang and Little Fairy Doctor arrived at the gate of the courtyard, and several burly men standing at the gate immediately looked at the two of them.

Their eyes held a hint of wariness and murderous intent.

He even carried a faint aura of malevolence.

This mercenary is clearly someone who has experienced many life-or-death battles; they are people who live on the edge of a knife.

Xiao Yang and Xiao Yixian were no novices either; they remained remarkably calm in the face of the others' gazes.

Xiao Yang slowly took off his mask and looked at the group.

"Please inform Xiao Li and Xiao Ding that Xiao Yang has arrived."

Upon hearing this, the group was immediately taken aback.

Just from Xiao Yang's name, you can tell that this young man has a very special relationship with his two regimental commanders.

However, they dared not readily believe Xiao Yang's one-sided account.

One of the leaders spoke politely to Xiao Yang.

"Young master, please come in with me and sit in the waiting room for a while. I will send someone to inform the two commanders."

Chapter 113 Xiao Ding and Xiao Li

After the leader sent a mercenary to report, he led Xiao Yang and Little Fairy Doctor to a reception hall.

If what Xiao Yang said is true, he is most likely a relative of the two regimental commanders.

Therefore, the mercenary was always very polite to the two of them.

After leading Xiao Yang and his companion to the reception room, they poured them both a glass of water.

After doing all that, he didn't leave.

Since their identities haven't been confirmed yet, he certainly can't just leave.

After a while, before anyone could be seen, a voice came from outside.

"Little Yangzi is here!"

"Haha, come and let me see you, it's been so long!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a young man who bore a resemblance to Xiao Yan walked in.

The man's gaze toward the others carried a hint of ferocity, as if he were a hungry wolf.

You can tell at a glance that he's a ruthless person.

However, when he looked at Xiao Yang, the ferocity in his eyes vanished instantly, leaving only joy.

A rare, warm smile appeared on his face.

Upon seeing the person who had arrived, Xiao Yang immediately stood up.

Seeing this, Little Fairy Doctor quickly stood up as well.

"Brother Li, it's been a long time."

Xiao Yang smiled and stepped forward to hug Xiao Li.

Xiao Li hugged Xiao Yang tightly and patted him on the shoulder.

"Haha, long time no see!"

Let's have a couple of drinks tonight!

Just then, another young man in a white robe walked in through the door.

This young man in white robes also resembled Xiao Li and Xiao Yan.

She even shares some similarities with Xiao Yang.

If Xiao Yang hadn't recently gained some charm and become even more handsome, the group would have looked even more alike.

The young man in white robes wore a gentle smile, his eyes revealing a hint of wisdom.

"Second brother is right, let's have a good drink tonight."

The visitor was none other than Xiao Ding.

Seeing this, Xiao Yang also stepped forward and hugged Xiao Ding.

Xiao Yang was cared for by Xiao Zhan because his parents died when he was a child.

Sometimes when Xiao Zhan was busy, Xiao Ding would lead a few people.

He grew up with the three Xiao brothers, so he also had a very good relationship with Xiao Ding and Xiao Li.

"it is good!"

"Let's have a few drinks together tonight."

Just then, Xiao Li and Xiao Ding also noticed Little Fairy Doctor standing to the side.

Xiao Li revealed a sly smile, nudged Xiao Yang with his shoulder, and chuckled.

"Who is this person is..."

"Why don't you introduce it to us?"

When the two entered, Little Fairy Doctor also took off the white veil on her head.

However, because Xiao Ding and Xiao Li focused their attention on Xiao Yang the moment they entered, they didn't see Little Fairy Doctor for a moment.

Xiao Ding also looked at Little Fairy Doctor with some curiosity.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yang didn't hide anything and immediately pulled Little Fairy Doctor over to introduce her to the two of them.

"This is my girlfriend, your sister-in-law, named Xiao Yixian."

(Since we couldn't find Little Fairy Doctor's real name in the original work, we just used a name that sounds the same.)

Then, he introduced Xiao Ding and Xiao Li to Little Fairy Doctor.

"These are my two cousins, Xiao Ding and Xiao Li. You can just call them Brother Ding and Brother Li, just like I do."

Upon hearing this, Little Fairy Doctor sweetly addressed the two of them.

"I've met Brother Ding and Brother Li."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ding and Xiao Li's faces immediately lit up with joy.

To the two of them, Xiao Yang was practically like a younger brother.

So now that they've heard their younger brother is getting a taste of cabbage, the two of them are very happy.

"Hahaha, good!"

"If Xiao Yang bullies you in the future, you can come and tell us, and we'll teach him a lesson for you!"

Xiao Li looked at Little Fairy Doctor with a very gentle gaze, without the slightest hint of fierceness.

Xiao Ding then spoke gently.

"Make yourself at home here, and let us know if you need anything."

Then, Xiao Ding called out to the vulgar and gruff Long.

"Sit down, don't stand for so long."

The mercenary who had brought Xiao Yang and his companion in served them a desert-style drink and then tactfully left.

Seeing this, Xiao Ding looked at Xiao Yang and asked.

"Third brother, why did you come at this time?"

"I think my coming-of-age ceremony is in about six months, right?"

"Shouldn't you be practicing at home at this time?"

Xiao Li only remembered this matter at this moment, as he had been too happy to think about it.

Xiao Yang pursed his lips and said.

“The family coming-of-age ceremony is not important to me.”

“Standing there and having people sprinkle a bunch of spices on you is really a bit boring.”

"And they stand there for hours on end, being stared at like monkeys."

"I don't care whether I can stay in the family or not, so of course it doesn't matter."

"Besides, the old men in my family don't dare to discipline me anymore."

Ever since they learned that Xiao Yang had been taken as a disciple by an alchemist, the elders in the family have treated him exceptionally well.

Even if Xiao Zhan poured a lot of the family's resources into Xiao Yang, they didn't care at all.

For example, the elders all approved of Xiao Zhan giving Xiao Yang a large amount of gold coins before he left home.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Li slammed his hand on the table and said directly.

"That's right!"

"What's so special about this coming-of-age ceremony!"

"Once Xiao Yanzi is transferred to another post, we'll bring him here directly!"
