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

Chapter 22 A melodramatic suggestion, and Xiao Mei's unwillingness to give up.

The Xiao family's main hall.

"You refused the Heavenly Rank cultivation technique that was within your grasp?"

The elder's eyes widened, his mouth gaped open, and his face was filled with disbelief and incomprehension.

It should be noted that even a single Earth-rank cultivation technique is enough to plunge Wutan City into bloodshed.

And what did he just hear?

Xiao Yan actually refused the Heavenly Rank cultivation technique he had obtained?!

Is this normal?

Everyone present, except for Xiao Zhan, was completely baffled.

"Ahem..." Facing everyone's gaze, Xiao Zhan slowly spoke, "This is what I asked Yan'er to do."

"Why? Clan leader." The second elder pressed. Xiao Yan was immature, he was just a child, that was understandable. But how could you, as the clan leader, not consider the clan's interests?

Xiao Zhan said solemnly, "I only recently learned that Lord Cang not only provided Yan'er with cultivation resources, but also found him a pharmacist teacher. There are other benefits as well, but I won't go into details."

Alchemist teacher?

This was undoubtedly another heavy blow, striking everyone's hearts hard, leaving them with a strong sour taste that almost overflowed from their mouths.

Having recognized a powerful older brother, not only did he regain his strength, but he also had his future plans arranged for him.

This isn't just an older brother, he's more like a father!

Xiao Zhan continued, "My thought is that Yan'er has received so many benefits from his elder brother, he should learn to be content. He has already received undeserved rewards. If he were to take a Heaven-Rank cultivation technique as well, it would leave Lord Cang with the impression of being greedy and insatiable, which would not be good."

The words fell.

Silence fell over the hall.

They somewhat agreed with Xiao Zhan's view.

After all, the Xiao family really didn't have any treasures that would make a Dou Huang (a powerful figure in the martial arts world) interested.

The Grand Elder was somewhat unwilling: "Heavenly Rank, Heavenly Rank! Are we just going to watch it slip away?"

Xiao Yan then said, "Actually, I have an idea."

Everyone looked at him with curiosity.

"Speak quickly," the Second Elder said impatiently.

"My elder brother isn't actually as scary as I thought. He's very easy to talk to, but it's true that I've taken so many benefits from him for nothing. Since our Xiao family doesn't have anything worthwhile to offer, why not give my elder brother a wife? He's not young anymore, so this would be quite suitable."

Xiao Yan said slowly.

Since they were both time travelers, he felt he should know more about Hun Cang. Which man hadn't dreamed of having three wives and four concubines?

There was no chance before, but now that my older brother has the power and background, he will definitely get married in the future. If I can arrange one in advance, I won't be afraid that my future sister-in-law will not get along with me and will cause me trouble.

Yes.

Xiao Yan was thinking long-term. In order to firmly hold onto this powerful backer, he also began to plan for Hun Cang.

Xiao Zhan and the three elders were all stunned for a moment.

But upon further reflection, it seems to make sense. Although it's a bit embarrassing to say it out loud, from another perspective, which of the Xiao family girls can guarantee that she will have a Dou Huang-level husband in the future?

Moreover, Hun Cang is still so young, his future prospects are limitless, and he has a lot of room for development.

They immediately began a discussion, asking whether Xiao Yan and Hun Cang would agree.

Xiao Yan confidently said that as long as someone in the clan was willing, he would naturally have a way to persuade his elder brother.

So the elders called over several suitable women from the clan, along with their parents.

After briefly explaining...

Xiao Mei was the first to step forward: "Clan leader, elders, I am willing."

She was so eager to become stronger that she finally managed to surpass Xiao Yan, but before she could even celebrate, Xiao Yan overtook her again within a year.

All of this ultimately stems from Xiao Yan recognizing Hun Cang as his elder brother.

"You're too young, forget it," Xiao Yan said, looking at her. Xiao Mei carefully calculated that she wasn't even sixteen yet.

A middle-aged man immediately stood up: "She's not young anymore. Children from ordinary families would already be breastfeeding babies at Mei'er's age."

This man was Xiao Mei's father.

Others also expressed their opinions, saying that being able to establish a relationship with a Dou Huang was like a chicken turning into a phoenix, and who wouldn't go crazy for it?

Even though Xiao Zhan repeatedly stated that, given the Xiao family's status, she might end up as just a maid, she would still be willing.

After a heated discussion, Xiao Zhan and the three elders finally decided on Xiao Yu.

Because Xiao Yu is close in age to Hun Cang and has studied at Canaan Academy, her status is considered slightly better than that of the Xiao family.

Finally, Xiao Mei glared angrily at Xiao Yan and ran out.

"Xiao Lin, go and try to persuade him," the Third Elder said to Xiao Mei's father upon seeing the situation.

……

the other side.

Hun Cang lay down on the back mountain for a while before returning to his guest room.

Looking at the spotless environment, a look of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

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

Hun Cang thought the meeting would be simple, but Xiao Yan didn't show up even after nightfall.

This made him want to rush over and tell Xiao Yan that it was really unnecessary, and that he should just accept the Burning Technique and leave after receiving the system reward.

During this time, Yao Chen, having nothing to do, took a stroll around.

He chatted with Hun Cang about some of Xiao Yan's interesting experiences over the past year.

Yao Chen casually asked why Hun Cang was so good to Xiao Yan, giving him cultivation resources, arranging for him to be Xiao Yan's teacher, and giving him cultivation techniques.

It's practically saying outright, why is Hun Cang so sycophantic?

Hun gave him a blank look and didn't answer.

My inner thought was, "What do you know, you old geezer?"

In the Dou Qi Continent, there are two relatively clear paths to becoming an emperor: the Emperor Pill and the Strange Flame.

My own system, as a whole, is not entirely useless; it's usable, but only to a limited extent.

Knowing that the strange fire could help him become an emperor, and that the key to it lay in the Burning Technique.

Hun Cang naturally wanted to obtain the complete Burning Technique, or a better one, through the system. Cultivating a flawed Burning Technique would involve taking risks.

This doesn't fit the style of a time traveler like myself!

While he was asleep, Hun Cang suddenly heard a faint noise, and then the door was opened.

Who? What do they want?

His Douhuang strength left him completely unfazed.

The person who came stood by the bed, remained silent for a moment, and then a rustling sound was heard.

Before Hun Cang could figure out what was going on, a cool, smooth body, carrying a refreshing fragrance, snuggled into his arms.

"Xiao Mei?" Hun Cang was stunned when he saw the other person's face clearly.

Xiao Mei's cheeks flushed, and her eyes revealed a hint of nervousness. She slowly said, "Lord Cang, I heard that you offered Brother Xiao Yan a cultivation technique, but he refused."

Hun Cang was taken aback: "Yes, but what does it have to do with you coming to my room?"

Xiao Mei said, "From what they said, they don't have a close relationship with the master and are embarrassed to take it again. If the master accepts it, then there will be another layer of relationship between the master and the Xiao family, and they will not have any concerns."

Ok?

Hun Cang was stunned. What kind of logic was this?

But he wasn't surprised that Xiao Mei said those words.

However, if you're really going to do that, you should do it openly and honestly, instead of doing it secretly.

After all, I am the Battle Emperor.

As he was pondering this, Hun Cang realized that someone had a hold over him!

In an instant, driven by youthful impetuosity, he stopped caring.

Anyway, I am the Battle Emperor!
