Capítulo 17: Xiao Feng Fishing
"It turns out to be like this. As long as no one bullies you, that's good."
Nalan Su subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, then felt something was wrong and scolded with a stern face, "You need to improve your combat experience. You secretly went to the Xiao family to break off the engagement, thinking Xiao Feng was not good enough for you, but ended up being defeated by him. If you're not ashamed, I am embarrassed as your father!"
"Nalan, calm down. Anger is harmful to your health!" Ge Ye quickly stepped forward to mediate the situation.
"Ge Ye, you old scoundrel, you have the nerve to speak! Yiran is young and ignorant, but you went along with her foolishness."
Nalan Su couldn't help but roar, "I heard you accompanied her to the Xiao family. You saw Xiao Feng yourself. In what way is he unworthy of Yiran?"
"Uh…"
Ge Ye's face slightly changed, and the image of Xiao Feng's pale and determined face flashed in his mind. With a helpless bitter smile, he said, "This was the sect master's decision, I had no choice."
Originally, Ge Ye also felt Xiao Feng was unworthy of Nalan Yiran. However, after witnessing Xiao Feng's unyielding spirit, he felt that Nalan Yiran was in the wrong.
Although Xiao Feng's cultivation was weaker than Nalan Yiran's, the resources available to them were not on the same level.
If Xiao Feng had the same resources as Nalan Yiran, his cultivation might surpass hers.
Unfortunately, it's too late for regrets. Nalan Yiran's actions had already created an irreparable rift between the Xiao and Nalan families.
Hearing Ge Ye mention Yun Yun, Nalan Su's anger subsided slightly, but he still looked displeased, "What was Yun Yun thinking, allowing Yiran to do such a foolish thing? Even setting a three-year challenge with Xiao Feng. What if she loses in three years? Will she really become his servant?"
"I won't lose!"
Nalan Yiran suddenly interrupted, touching her slightly sore cheek. "I won't make the same mistake twice. On the day of the three-year challenge, I will defeat him with absolute strength!"
"You…"
Seeing Nalan Yiran's stubborn look, Nalan Su didn't know what to say. He could only stomp his foot helplessly, "Fine! Do whatever you want. If you regret it later, don't blame us for not stopping you!"
After saying this, Nalan Su angrily stormed out.
Seeing this, Nalan Yiran's smile gradually faded, and she said expressionlessly, "Elder Ge, starting tomorrow, arrange for me to fight six Iron Claw Wolves as combat targets."
"Okay."
Ge Ye nodded with a complicated expression.

The sunset was beautiful, but it was almost dusk.
Before nightfall, Xiao Feng, dressed in gray, finally arrived at the nearest beast town to Wutan City—Qingshan Town!
Because Qingshan Town was close to the Magic Beast Mountain Range, it was home to many mercenary groups who made a living hunting magical beasts.
The mercenaries, who licked blood off their knives all year round, were gathered in groups, boasting and chatting about women, wine, and magical beasts.
As Xiao Feng walked into Qingshan Town, he saw a street paved with bluestone.
On both sides of the street were numerous shops, bustling with customers, making business quite prosperous.
Xiao Feng's gaze swept around before finally landing on a nearby herbal medicine shop.
The herbal medicine shop was large, with a simple plaque above the entrance that read "Myriad Medicine Pavilion" in large characters.
A playful look flashed in Xiao Feng's eyes as he walked slowly toward Myriad Medicine Pavilion.
Myriad Medicine Pavilion's interior was spacious, with dozens of moonstones embedded in the walls for illumination, making the shop as bright as day.
"This young master, is there anything you need?"
As soon as Xiao Feng stepped into Myriad Medicine Pavilion, a shop assistant in coarse clothes greeted him enthusiastically.
"Do you buy herbs here? I have two hundred-year-old Blood Jade Ginsengs to sell."
"…"
The shop instantly fell silent.
The customers picking out medicines turned to look at Xiao Feng, their eyes full of curiosity and intrigue.
Although Blood Jade Ginseng was a relatively common first-grade spiritual herb, a hundred-year-old Blood Jade Ginseng is a genuine second-grade spiritual herb, each worth about 2,500 gold coins.
In a big city like Wutan City, herbs worth thousands of gold coins might not be much.
But in a small place like Qingshan Town, thousands of gold coins were a huge sum, equivalent to a year's income for many small mercenary groups.
"Of course we buy!"
The shopkeeper of Myriad Medicine Pavilion quickly walked up to Xiao Feng, smiling, "May I know your name, young master?"
"My surname is Xiao, given name Feng."
"So it's Young Master Xiao!"
The shopkeeper smiled, "Could you show us the two hundred-year-old Blood Jade Ginsengs? Our appraiser needs to check them. If they're genuine, we'll buy them at a high price."
"Sure."
Xiao Feng nodded and took out two green jade boxes from his storage ring with a wave of his hand.
Everyone's eyes widened.
Many people's breathing became rapid, and their eyes flashed with undisguised greed.
From Xiao Feng's ability to produce two jade boxes out of thin air, it was clear he had a storage ring.
Even the smallest storage ring was worth at least tens of thousands of gold coins.
If the value of the hundred-year-old Blood Jade Ginseng surprised and envied them, the storage ring worth tens of thousands of gold coins was enough to make many consider robbing him.
After all, those mercenaries who lived by hunting magical beasts were used to licking blood off their knives, and killing for treasures was common.
Xiao Feng understood the principle of not flaunting wealth, but he was doing this to fish for trouble; otherwise, he wouldn't have bought the two hundred-year-old Blood Jade Ginsengs in the Wutan City market beforehand.
To try to earn more merit points, Xiao Feng planned to kill some villains.
Instead of searching for heinous villains, he decided to use himself as bait to draw them in.
Those mercenaries who didn't think of robbing might not be good people, but those who did were definitely villains, and Xiao Feng wouldn't feel guilty killing them.
