Duanmu Rou’s words immediately caught Yan Sheng’s attention. A cold smile flashed across his eyes.

Yan Xi had basically handed her head on a platter to him.

He glanced at the disciple who had fallen to the ground. There was a bright footprint on his chest.

Yan Sheng tried his best to suppress the smile on his face as he said sternly, “Yan Xi, you’ve fought in private and hurt someone from the family. This is a violation of the family rules. What do you have to say? ”

Under everyone’s gaze, Yan Xi could not deny it this time.

Yan Zhongshan had always hated those who bullied their own kind in private. Yan Xi was courting death!

Yan Xi, who was called out by him, looked over coldly. A sharp light flashed in her intimidating black eyes, and no fear could be found.

Her calm expression made Yan Sheng very dissatisfied. He said to Yan Hong extremely angrily, ” Elder Hong, you’ve also seen clearly what kind of temper this girl has, right? She ignored the family rules, bullied her own kind, and was unruly. Please take her to the main hall and explain this to the head.”

Restraining and supervising disciples had always been the task of the law enforcement hall. In the past, he could still take advantage of loopholes as the family head, but now he could not do so. He could only ask the elders of the law enforcement hall for help.

Yan Hong frowned and looked at Yan Xi.

Duanmu Rou looked at this scene with satisfaction. Yan Xi was indeed different from before. Although she was trash, her skills were surprisingly powerful now.

However, she still had a hundred ways to deal with her.

Yan Hong was just about to order the disciples of the law enforcement hall to take Yan Xi away when the disciple who had been kicked to the ground quickly said, “Wait… Wait a minute!”

Everyone paused and they looked at him in confusion.

“Ahem! Yan Xi didn’t bully me in private.” The branch family disciple clutched his chest, his eyes filled with admiration.

“Did Yan Xi threaten you? Don’t be afraid. The family will seek justice for you.” Yan Sheng hurriedly cut him off and waved his hand. “Someone, bring him down to recuperate.”

The disciple immediately became anxious. “You’re wrong! It was the tusked boar that rushed over, and Yan Xi pushed me away. If it wasn’t for her, I would have been dead. She was the one who saved me!”

Yan Sheng was extremely indignant that his plan had failed once again. His face darkened and turned ashen as he said in a low voice, “Think about it carefully. Who would use their feet to save someone?”

There was a hint of a threat in his voice.

“Yan Xi,” the branch disciple answered immediately—as if he could not understand everyone’s suspicion. Once again, the image of her clean kick appeared in his mind.

With her tight black clothes, mysterious wooden mask, and those calm and deep black eyes, Yan Xi looked extremely cool!

He clutched his chest, his eyes twinkling like stars.

She had kicked right into his heart!

“Yan Xi! Thank you for saving me! That kick of yours was so cool!” He gave her a thumbs up and, as if afraid that no one could hear him, he shouted at her at the top of his lungs, “My name is Yan Gu! Remember me! You must remember me!”

Yan Xi was rendered speechless.

Saving the younger generation of the Yan family was just her instinct as the head of the Yan family. As for why she had chosen to save him by kicking him… That was because she wanted to teach him a lesson for being so annoying.

Alas, he seemed to have fallen for her over this kick!

Yan Hong asked the disciples of the law enforcement hall to come back. “Since it’s a misunderstanding, let’s forget about it.”

His eyes swept over the Yan family disciples and said, “Yan Xi’s spirit of not forgetting to help her own people in a critical moment today is worth learning from. However, everyone must pay attention to the way you do it in the future to avoid any misunderstandings.”

Yan Sheng screamed. What was going on with that branch disciple? Had he been bewitched by Yan Xi? He had gotten the opposite of what he wanted! Now everyone was looking at Yan Xi in admiration!

Yan Sheng’s face was gloomy, and he reluctantly let the matter slide. “Since there’s nothing else, let’s go to the meeting hall.”

“Wait a moment.” Yan Xi crossed her arms and lazily called out to Yan Sheng.

“What else do you have to say?” Yan Sheng’s tone was unfriendly, and he was very short with Yan Xi.

“We haven’t even investigated the matter of the tusked boar.” Yan Xi pointed at the tusked boar whose head had been separated from its body, but her eyes were on the gate. “We’re in Muyun, right in front of our own gate. How did a magical beast suddenly come in?”

With Yan Xi’s pointing, the training team that was originally hiding away was completely exposed.

They were a small team sent by the Yan family to hunt for magical beasts. If Yun Yuhan and the others were not present, they would be heroes of the day. However, when Yun Yuhan and the others arrived, they instantly became ugly ducklings in the corner, and no one cared about them.

After Yan Xi pointed it out, everyone returned to their senses.

“Yeah! Why would the tusked boar suddenly throw itself at us?”

“Furthermore, a magical beast that was clearly dead suddenly came back to life!”

The tusked wild boar was a level one magical beast. It was the lowest class of magical beasts. However, to ordinary disciples who had not cultivated Profound Qi, it was extremely dangerous, not to mention Yan Xi who could not cultivate.

The wild boar was obviously coming for Yan Xi. Under normal circumstances, an ordinary person would only die from serious injuries when facing a level one magical beast. The wild boar obviously did not think that Yan Xi would dodge.

“That one seems to be Yan Hu’s prey.”

“No wonder. Yan Hu and Yan Lan have a good relationship. He must have heard the news that Yan Lan was injured by Yan Xi and wanted to take revenge for her. ”

Yan Xi felt an unfriendly gaze fall on her.

She followed her gaze and saw a very tall man standing in the hunting team and staring at her unkindly. His figure stood out among his peers, and the muscles on his arms were bulging. At this time, he clenched his fist and shook it at her with veins popping.

As soon as she saw him, a chill ran up her spine.

He was the nightmare of the original body. In the past, when she bullied the original body, Yan Lan’s physical strength as a Spirit Master was not high. Most of the time, she was too lazy to make a move and usually directed Yan Hu to hit her.

There was a cold glint in her eyes.

“Yan Hu, what’s the matter with you? Why was the tusked wild boar you hunted still alive? You even threw it into the crowd. Don’t you know that an untamed magical beast can easily cause serious consequences in the family?” Yan Hong frowned. He knew Yan Hu.

Yan Hu was quite talented. He had already cultivated his Profound Qi at the age of sixteen. Even though he could not compare to the geniuses of the Longyuan Empire, he was still considered to be one of the more talented cultivators in Muyun.
