What Do You Call a Benevolent and Reasonable Person in Xianxia? An Imp

"Mmmph!"

Xiao Yixian, with her mouth blocked by Xiao Yan, let out a choked sound, her eyes revealing a hint of anger.

When Xiao Yan heard Xiao Yixian make a noise, a joyful expression appeared on his face. He separated his lips from hers, looking at her excitedly.

"Xiao Yixian! You're awake!"

"You!"

Xiao Yixian's face turned bright red. She was about to say something when she realized there was something in her mouth. She instinctively chewed a couple of times.

Jerky?

It was only then that Xiao Yixian grasped the meaning behind Xiao Yan's actions of taking advantage of her just now. Her expression became extremely complicated. She wanted to scold him, but the words didn't come out.

Clearly, he had saved her. Xiao Yixian couldn't detect any malicious intent in Xiao Yan's eyes. His clear eyes made it impossible for her, even as the one being taken advantage of, to voice her blame.

She resentfully swallowed the jerky in her mouth, temporarily pushing aside the matter of Xiao Yan taking advantage of her. She glared at him fiercely.

"Why are you here? I should have let that mercenary..."

"Pfft!"

Before Xiao Yixian could finish her sentence, Xiao Yan suddenly felt a pain in his throat. He turned his head and coughed heavily, spitting out a spray of blood onto the nearby shelf of medicinal herbs, which was quite unsettling to look at.

"Quickly, eat this!"

Seeing this, Xiao Yixian was taken aback, then noticed Xiao Yan's pale complexion. She reacted immediately, not caring to say more. She reached into her pocket and pulled out a pill, shoving it into Xiao Yan's mouth. Xiao Yan didn't hesitate and swallowed it directly.

After the pill entered his body, Xiao Yan immediately felt an improvement in his condition. Xiao Yixian let out a sigh of relief, then grabbed Xiao Yan's collar and scolded him.

"Hey! Don't you know that Myriad Medicines Hall is full of poison? Even Mu She doesn't dare to enter. What gives you the audacity to come in?"

"I heard that you've been trapped here for seven days. I didn't think too much..." Xiao Yan laughed softly, his voice also trembling a bit, "This poison is quite intense, did you make it?"

"Or else? Do you expect me, a weak woman, to use force against the Wolf Head Mercenary Company?" Xiao Yixian snorted proudly, but she couldn't help but feel a warm sensation inside due to Xiao Yan's words.

Being able to rush in to save her despite knowing he couldn't resist the poison, apart from Boss Yao, only Xiao Yan could have done that.

As Xiao Yixian thought this, she shook off Xiao Yan's arm and stood up. Xiao Yan also used the shelf for support as he slowly got up. Suddenly, his vision became dizzy, and he swayed heavily, causing Xiao Yixian to hurriedly support him.

"Xiao Yan! Are you okay?!"

"I'm fine... Don't worry. That medicine of yours works really well. I'm gradually getting better." Xiao Yan took a deep breath and then looked at Xiao Yixian. "Xiao Yixian, I'll escort you out of Qingshan Town. You should seek refuge there. With Xiao Lan around, at least your life won't be in danger."

"No!" Just as Xiao Yan's words fell, Xiao Yixian immediately refused firmly. "Boss Yao is still in Mu She's hands! If I leave first, Boss Yao will be in danger!"

"I've already inquired from the Wolf Head Mercenary Company members about where Boss Yao is being held. I'm going to save him now. You should leave Qingshan Town first. I'm afraid I won't be able to protect you properly."

Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Yixian seriously. His current strength was only at the Dou Shi level, not enough to contend with the entire Wolf Head Mercenary Company on his own. It was already quite difficult for him to save Boss Yao alone; he couldn't spare more attention to protect Xiao Yixian.

"But..."

"Xiao Yixian!" Xiao Yan interrupted her, speaking earnestly. "I promise you! I will definitely rescue Boss Yao! I promise!"

"..."

Xiao Yixian looked at Xiao Yan, who was making this promise to her, in a daze. At the same time, shouts from several mercenaries outside of Myriad Medicines Hall reached their ears.

"Hurry! Hurry over here!"

"Xiao Yan is inside!"

"Surround the area! Don't let them escape!"

Listening to the commotion outside, Xiao Yixian understood that there was no time for her to think.

Xiao Yan was right. She had no combat capability, and going with him would only be a burden.

Although the poison she had concocted could resist Mu She, it could only provide resistance. It was impossible to use it against Mu She, a Grand Dou Shi (Battle Master, 3rd Level), unless Mu She was a brainless fool.

"I understand..."

Xiao Yixian nodded, and Xiao Yan immediately grasped the Heavy Black Ruler, gently pulling Xiao Yixian behind him, then slammed it against the wall in front of them.

Boom!

!

The mercenaries who had gathered at the entrance of Myriad Medicines Hall heard the rumbling sound from the rear and hurried over. They saw Xiao Yixian running towards the Beast Mountain Range and Xiao Yan standing in their way.

"Sorry, this way is blocked."

Xiao Yan placed the Heavy Black Ruler in front of him, coldly scanning the mercenaries in front of him.

"I'm not willing to resort to pointless violence. I hope everyone can try to avoid conflicts with me as much as possible and allow Xiao Yixian to leave safely."

Xiao Yan's words were clear: he wouldn't take the initiative to attack, but if they insisted on chasing Xiao Yixian, they would have to bear the consequences themselves!

The mercenaries showed hesitation on their faces. It wasn't fear of Xiao Yan; most of them owed their lives to Xiao Yixian's help. Even though they had been brought into the Wolf Head Mercenary Company by Mu She's money and should have obeyed Mu She's commands, they still had a sense of conscience that made them hesitate.

Human nature was indeed complex.

Clap, clap, clap...

At this moment, an untimely applause sounded from the midst of the crowd. Soon after, a figure walked out from behind the mercenaries.

"I didn't expect that after two months, you're still so hypocritical, Xiao Yan."

Upon hearing these words and seeing the person who spoke them, Xiao Yan's expression immediately darkened.

The person was none other than the one Xiao Yan had vowed to kill, the Vice-Captain of the Wolf Head Mercenary Company, Mu Li!

Mu Li's face no longer showed the fear he had once had toward Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan also sensed the vastly different aura coming from Mu Li.

Mu Li, who was originally a Seven Star Dou Zhe (Battle Practitioner, 2nd Level) , had actually broken through to the Dou Shi (Battle Master, 3rd Level) level. It was no wonder he was so confident.

However, Xiao Yan showed no fear. Unconsciously, black energy emerged from within him, and his pitch-black pupils flickered with a fierce crimson light.

"I was originally thinking that our top priority should be to rescue Boss Yao, and other matters should be put aside."

Xiao Yan retracted the Heavy Black Ruler in front of him and purple flames rose from his body.

"But seeing you now, I can't contain the resentment in my heart."

Xiao Yan's calm words carried an icy killing intent that spread to everyone present!

Profoundly, Xiao Yan stared at Mu Li. Mu Li, who had been so sure that he would no longer fear Xiao Yan, couldn't help but tremble.

"Attack! Attack him!"

Mu Li instinctively commanded the mercenaries to attack Xiao Yan. In response, the killing intent in Xiao Yan's eyes grew even stronger!

"Thinking of using the same trick again?"

Xiao Yan took a step forward, his gaze sharp as a torch, fixed firmly on Mu Li.

He declared with a tone as if passing judgment.

"This time, you won't escape."

"I promise."
