Battle Through the Heavens: I confronted Xiao Yan, and he begged me to be his elder brother.

Chapter 11 I Really Have a Dou Huang Brother!

"Probably not."

After a few seconds of silence, Ling Ying answered.

He was clearly hesitant, after all, the situation of the Xiao family could not be kept from him.

The Xiao family indeed has no Dou Huang (Battle Emperor) members...

Xiao Xun'er nodded slightly, a hint of doubt and worry flashing in her beautiful eyes.

Since there is no Dou Huang, why would Brother Xiao Yan say such a thing?

Has he really gone mad?

She immediately shook her head; Xiao Xun'er didn't believe the idea.

"Xiao Yan, you said your Xiao family also has a Dou Huang? Fine, then bring out the Dou Huang." Coming back to her senses, Nalan Yanran sneered.

Ge Ye looked at Xiao Yan and echoed, "That's right."

All around him, gazes filled with anticipation and surprise, were fixed on the calm-faced boy.

"Not now." Xiao Yan shook his head. "My elder brother is busy and won't be here for another two days. If you want to see him, you'll have to wait a few more days."

"Hahaha..." The young man from the Yunlan Sect laughed wildly, pointing at Xiao Yan, "Big brother? Did I hear that right? You became sworn brothers with a Dou Huang expert and called him big brother?"

Xiao Yan nodded seriously: "What? Is there a problem?"

The young man's eyes revealed deep disdain as he sneered without any politeness, "Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself in the mirror? You're just a piece of trash at the third stage of Dou Qi. Why would a Dou Huang expert even look at you?"

This statement immediately sparked considerable discussion.

"Yeah, how come I didn't think of that before?"

"Xiao Yan is really obsessed. He's been a useless person for three years, and he's even fantasizing about having a Dou Huang older brother."

"At least he didn't mention that he has a Dou Di older brother, which is good enough."

"Holy crap, you're really mean. A Dou Di? There hasn't been one in tens of thousands of years."

The disciples of the Xiao family, as well as some elders, all cast disdainful glances at Xiao Yan, their disgust undisguised.

It was as if having someone like Xiao Yan in the family was an extremely shameful thing.

The three elders were initially taken aback by Xiao Yan's words.

They even frowned and wondered if the Xiao family really had a Dou Huang ancestor that Xiao Yan had encountered.

It turned out that it was Xiao Yan's older brother.

The three of them could no longer hold back.

The Third Elder shook his head regretfully and said, "Kids are just kids. They can't even brag properly. Why call him 'Big Brother'? At least he should have said he was the ancestor of the Xiao family. That would have made it more believable."

"Hmph, what a disgrace! If word gets out today, the entire Wutan City will laugh at our Xiao family. Xiao Yan is a disgrace to the family." The Second Elder said coldly with a cold expression.

The First Elder nodded in agreement: "After today's matter is settled, expel Xiao Yan from the family and let him manage the shops. We must not let him stay in the Xiao family any longer, otherwise, the other juniors may be influenced by him."

At this moment, the three of them said these words directly in front of Xiao Zhan, completely disregarding him as the clan leader.

Xiao Zhan felt very uncomfortable, but he did not refute it.

His gaze toward Xiao Yan was filled with grief. Had Yan'er been so hurt by those cold words over the past three years?

It's my fault as a father for failing in my responsibilities...

Overwhelmed with guilt and self-reproach, Xiao Zhan sighed heavily and walked to Xiao Yan's side.

"Yan'er, it's your father's fault, I'm useless, I didn't take good care of you. Don't worry about today's matter, go down." Xiao Zhan patted Xiao Yan's shoulder, his tone filled with deep self-reproach.

Xiao Yan was taken aback, his puzzled gaze sweeping over the various faces around him.

There were doubts, ridicule, sneers, and disdain...

No one believed it.

He stared at Xiao Zhan, stunned, and said, "Father, don't you even believe me? I'm telling the truth, I'm not lying, I really do have a Dou Huang older brother..."

"well……"

Sighs rose and fell, echoing from all around.

Xiao Zhan's eyes trembled, but there was no blame in them, only heartache. He said, "Yan'er, Father believes in you. Now, be good and go back to the backyard. Father will come to see you after things are settled here, okay?"

In the end, Xiao Zhan's tone was exactly like that of someone scolding a child.

He looked towards the door and waved to Butler Mo.

Xiao Yan shook off Xiao Zhan's hand from his shoulder and said very seriously, "Father, I'm telling the truth. Didn't you ask me before how the secret of the disappearing Dou Qi was solved? Now I'll tell you, it was my eldest brother who solved it for me."

Huh? Xiao Zhan was stunned, a slight wavering in his heart.

"Stubborn and lying. Xiao Yan, you're almost sixteen. Can't you accept reality?" The First Elder laughed for a while, then reprimanded him sternly.

When their fighting spirit mysteriously disappeared, the entire family was very nervous, and the First Elder also tried to find out the reason.

However, no solution was found.

In fact, just two days ago, Xiao Yan was only at the third level of Dou Power in the test. Now he suddenly says the problem is solved. Who would believe that?

"Third Young Master, stop talking and come with me." Butler Mo grabbed Xiao Yan's arm and said gently.

This work was compiled and uploaded by [author's name].

His eyes were filled with tension and worry. He had watched the Third Young Master grow up. As a child, the Third Young Master was clever and quick-witted, polite and sensible, and even had good talent. However, after becoming a Fighter at the age of eleven and then losing his fighting spirit, the Third Young Master seemed to become a different person.

Butler Mo recalled carefully that he had never taken the Third Young Master seriously when he saw him force a smile and say that everything was fine.

Thinking back now, I can't help but regret it. If I had noticed it in time, the Third Young Master probably wouldn't have kept it bottled up inside and then been driven mad by it today.

Xiao Yan was so anxious he wanted to curse.

Are all these people crazy? They're clearly telling the truth, but they just won't believe me.

"Wait a minute, who said Xiao Yan can leave!" the young man shouted.

Xiao Zhan turned his head and angrily asked, "What do you want to do?"

You've driven my son crazy, and you still won't leave him alone?

The young man raised his chin slightly and said arrogantly, "I said, Xiao Yan publicly slandered the Yunlan Sect and insulted the sect leader. He must apologize today. If you don't give an explanation, don't blame the Yunlan Sect for wiping out your Xiao family one day. If you don't believe me, you're welcome to try!"

The blatant threat filled everyone in the Xiao family with righteous indignation.

However, upon seeing the young man's attire, they suppressed their emotions and turned their attention to Xiao Yan, who was also from the Xiao family.

Although they didn't speak, Xiao Yan could sense that those people wanted nothing more than to kill him.

A feeling of injustice welled up inside me. Why are they bullying me like this? Is it because I'm weak?

Never before had Xiao Yan so desperately craved power.

"Xiao Yan, apologize right now."

"Apologize to them; each person should take responsibility for their own actions."

"Yes, don't implicate the family."

As the first voice rang out, more and more people joined in.

The First Elder glanced at Xiao Yan and said, "If you do something wrong, you should admit it. If you don't have the talent, then you should honestly agree to annul the engagement and not cause trouble for the family."

"Did you hear that, Xiao Yan? I'm definitely canceling this engagement today!" Nalan Yanran sneered, a look of disdain on her lips.

Noticing his father's distressed and helpless expression, as if he couldn't do anything about it, Xiao Yan felt a pang in his heart. He hated it so much. Why did that damned ring steal his fighting spirit?

Otherwise, I might be a four-star or even five-star fighter today.

Just as Xiao Yan was lost in helpless self-blame and pain, a deep, cold voice suddenly came from outside:

"Who's bullying my second brother?!"
