BTTH: From Genius to Invincible

Chapter 121: Chapter 121: A Fateful Encounter



There was no shortage of knowledgeable people in the hall. Everyone's expression

immediately changed when they saw the flame that could instantly melt even a weapon forged from a Monster Core.

Xiao Yan didn't even use much strength to grab the snow-white neck of the Second Young Lady of the Mo Clan and lift her up.

His indifferent voice spread out, without a hint of cherishing a beauty's jade-like skin.

The Second Young Lady of the Mo Clan, Ling Lin, stared at the youth before her in shock, her beautiful eyes filled with terror. Although she had already reached the Dou Master realm, how could a mere Dou Master possibly escape from Xiao Yan's grasp?

Xiao Yan's cold, indifferent eyes and his voice as calm as water made it seem as if he could kill this Second Young Lady of the Mo Clan at any moment without a second thought.

"Sir, please stay your hand!" A middle-aged man hurriedly walked out from the lobby of the inn. The expression on his face was full of worry and tension.

Xiao Yan saw the Mo Clan emblem on the middle-aged man's chest. He thought for a moment before suddenly releasing his grip.

Ling Lin fell directly onto her bottom. She coughed a few times and touched her neck, her eyes filled with fear as she looked up at Xiao Yan.

Had he applied even a little more force right now, he could have easily crushed her neck bones and left her lifeless on the spot!

"Sir, Ling Lin was too impulsive earlier. Please don't take offense for the sake of my Mo Clan." The middle-aged man's scalp went numb. Ling Lin had kicked an iron plate this time!

The young man in front of him possessed formidable strength, and the old man beside him was even more unfathomable. He was afraid that he had reached the Dou Spirit realm. Ling Lin hurriedly got up from the ground and hid behind the middle-aged man. She also knew that she had kicked an iron plate this time and didn't dare to shout or make a fuss.

"You Mo Clan don't have that kind of qualification," Xiao Yan said unhurriedly.

His voice echoed in the quiet hall. Even Hai Bodong beside him remained silent.

The middle-aged man's eyelid twitched. Normally, anyone daring to speak to him in such a manner would have been taught a lesson. But now, even though he wanted to teach them a lesson, he knew it would likely end with him dying an ugly death.

"Hehehe, yes, yes, Sir is right. We will definitely discipline Ling Lin strictly. All of your expenses in Yan City will be covered by our Mo Clan. We have already prepared the best suites for you two. We hope you can forgive us." The middle-aged man glared at the dumbfounded receptionist beside him.

Only then did the receptionist react. She hurriedly took out two exquisite room plaques and handed them to Hai Bodong and Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan nodded to Hai Bodong before taking the two exquisite plaques and walking upstairs to the guest rooms.

Hai Bodong said in a low voice, "I thought you would directly cause a scene at the Mo Clan." "The Mo Clan itself is not to be feared, but they are deeply rooted in Yan City. Stirring up trouble here might attract the city guards, which would be troublesome since they represent the Jia Ma Empire's imperial family."

"My goal is simply to get Qing Lin back. Once she is safe, I might just make the Mo Clan bleed a little and call it even."

Although Mo Cheng had left Rock Desert City a day early by riding a flying magical beast, Xiao Yan and Hai Bodong's speed was definitely faster than a flying magical beast. The probability of Qing Lin still being safe was very high.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Therefore, he did not want to escalate the situation unnecessarily. He could vent his anger after rescuing her.

Watching the old and young figures slowly disappear at the end of the stairs, the tense atmosphere in the hall finally eased a little. People began to whisper and speculate about the background of these two.

Ling Lin's pale and pretty face only regained some color after Xiao Yan disappeared from sight. Tears of grievance immediately welled up in her eyes, which she wiped away with the back of her hand.

In all her years living in Yan City, this was the first time she had suffered such humiliation.

It wasn't until Xiao Yan had been gone for a while that Ling Lin's followers came over to comfort her.

However, their attempts at consolation felt somewhat hollow.

"Hehe, why is Little Sister Ling Lin crying so pitifully? Could there really be someone in Yan City who dares to offend you?" Just as those youths around Ling Lin were each expressing their bravery and spouting sweet words, a clear and melodious laugh that sounded like the chime of an ancient bell came from behind.

A young lady gracefully entered through the main door under everyone's gaze.

The moment she stepped through the front entrance, every man held his breath for a moment. Many of them had their eyes glued to her.

The young lady wore a long white robe with wide sleeves and a pale silver belt that cinched her willow-like waist, perfectly accentuating her exquisite thin waistline.

Her charming smile exuded subtle elegance and nobility. Though her expression seemed gentle, it carried a distant aloofness that kept people thousands of miles away. Her eyes revealed a unique stubbornness.

Even if Xiao Yan were standing here, he might have to ponder for a few seconds to recognize that this young lady was Nalan Yanran, the same person whose two fingers he had broken with a single blow three years ago.

She was the same age as Xiao Yan, and the saying 'A girl changes eighteen times between childhood and womanhood' held true. The Nalan Yanran of today was completely different from the Nalan Yanran of three years ago.

"Big Sister Nalan, you're here too?" Upon seeing Nalan Yanran, Ling Lin set aside her tears and hopped over cheerfully with a giggle, clinging onto her arm.

Although Ling Lin was quite pretty, standing next to Nalan Yanran made the difference in their looks all the more apparent, making Ling Lin feel a bit inadequate in comparison. Nalan Yanran only gave a faint smile when she saw Ling Lin's lively and cheerful appearance. Her smile was restrained yet carried a noble air. It didn't make people feel that she was cold, but had a sense of keeping others at bay. In any case, after experiencing that incident three years ago, the once willful and impetuous young girl had transformed into a much more mature young lady.

The person following behind Nalan Yanran was still Ge Ye, who had accompanied her to break off the engagement with the Xiao Clan back then.

Ge Ye's cultivation had now reached the 2-star Dou Spirit stage. Following the right person had paid off, and with Nalan Yanran's rising status, he had also reaped significant benefits. His cultivation had increased rapidly over the past three years.

Ling Lin affectionately pulled Nalan Yanran's jade-like, fair hand and said with a delighted smile, "Big Sister Nalan, if Father and the others knew you personally came down from Misty Cloud Mountain, they would definitely be very happy."

"Just following my Master's instructions. Besides, I happened to be returning home during this period to prepare for some matters, so I conveniently came over." Nalan Yanran said in a

gentle voice.

"Big Sister Nalan, it's already getting dark today. Why don't you rest here for the night? This place has rooms specially designed to receive guests of your status." Ling Lin said excitedly. "Mm, I'll trouble Little Sister Ling Lin then." Nalan Yanran smiled and nodded. Ling Lin smiled shyly and remained silent as she led Nalan Yanran and Ge Ye up the stairs.

As the group disappeared at the top of the stairs, the whispering in the hall grew louder, buzzing like a swarm of flies.

Xiao Yan, who was in his room, probably never imagined that he would encounter Nalan Yanran upon coming to Yan City!
