87: Gift of strange fire, Hun Cang's tension

“Hmm, I heard it might be related to you taking Han Feng’s Sea Heart Flame back then. He told the Palace Master.” Protector Wu thought for a moment before saying.

The Palace Master here naturally referred to the Chief Palace Master of the Soul Hall.

When he previously plotted against Yao Chen, Han Feng had some contact with him and they had a connection.

Soul Cang frowned slightly: “It’s fine, Han Feng won’t be able to cause trouble for much longer.”

Once Xiao Yan goes to Canaan Academy, he would tell him about this matter and have him deal with it.

He had given so many things; how could he not do something in return?

Perhaps Xiao Yan, knowing there was something to handle, would also be very happy.

Protector Wu continued: “The clan assembly is in one month, Young Master, please remember to return to the clan then.”

“I remember.” Soul Cang nodded slightly, then turned his head to look at Protector Wu, “Since I took over the branch, Protector Wu has helped me a lot. After this meeting, you can expect a promotion.”

“It is only right for your subordinate to serve Young Master; to gain Young Master’s appreciation is already my honor,” Protector Wu said, flattered.

Soul Cang smiled, dismissed Protector Wu, and then he himself turned back to the square.

Thinking back, proactively proposing the Three-Year Agreement was also meant to urge Xiao Yan to cultivate and give him a sense of urgency.

Now, Xiao Yan had not disappointed him.

Having the Green Jade Lotus Platform in advance, along with some not-so-high-value elixirs and resources he provided, his strength had risen to a nine-star Great Dou Shi, which was a significant breakthrough compared to normal progress.

Thinking that he was finally going to try giving away the Heavenly Flame, Soul Cang couldn't help but shake his head: “I’m actually a little nervous.”

Compared to cultivation techniques and elixirs created later, the level of Heavenly Flames was clearly much higher.

He wondered what he could get from the System this time…

…

On the square.

After Xiao Yan returned, Xiao Ding, Xiao Li, Elder Jia, Fa Ma, Mittel Tengshan, and others gathered around him.

The Xiao Family brothers first congratulated and celebrated with their younger brother.

Then, Hai Bodong introduced the identities of the people around to Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan appeared very surprised. He knew in his heart that those who could watch the battle at Yun Lan Sect must have extraordinary identities, but he still underestimated them.

Among them, one was the guardian deity of the Gama Imperial Family, one was the patriarch of the richest family in the Gama Empire, and another was the president of the Alchemist Guild of the Gama Empire.

Thank you, Big Brother… Xiao Yan was self-aware; without Soul Cang, his own influence would not be enough to make them so enthusiastic.

The subsequent conversation also confirmed Xiao Yan’s guess.

After a few words, they shifted the topic to his Big Brother. Xiao Yan tried to choose topics that he could talk about.

In reality, he didn't know much specific information either.

A small interlude occurred here: Fa Ma asked about the soul on Xiao Yan’s body.

The unexpected result for Xiao Yan was that this Alchemist Guild President of the Gama Empire had actually been guided by Yao Chen when he was young.

This news made Xiao Yan inwardly complain.

When that old man was alive, he was willing to offer guidance when passing by and do some decent things.

How did he change so much after only his soul was left, secretly absorbing his Dou Qi and making him be called a good-for-nothing for three years!

Not long after, the conversation stopped.

Because Soul Cang had returned.

“Young Master Cang.”

Elder Jia and the others followed Hai Bodong’s address, respectfully calling out.

On the Dou Qi Continent, strength was respected. Elder Jia and the others didn't feel awkward about Soul Cang’s youth.

Hai Bodong, as usual, introduced the people to Soul Cang.

However, Soul Cang was not as enthusiastic as Xiao Yan, simply nodding as a greeting.

“Second Brother, you are now a Great Dou Shi. There are some things I can give you now. Let’s go, we’ll find a quiet place.” Soul Cang put his arm around Xiao Yan’s shoulder.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan’s face showed deep joy. Heavenly Flame, Big Brother must be giving me the Heavenly Flame!

“Wait a moment, Big Brother.” Seeing Xiao Yan push his arm off his shoulder, Soul Cang looked puzzled. Xiao Yan chuckled softly, “I’ve also prepared a surprise for you; you’ll definitely like it.”

A surprise? Soul Cang was slightly stunned.

But seeing the expression on Xiao Yan’s face, his own expression suddenly became strange: “Second Brother, it’s not that old trick of yours from the Xiao Family again, is it?”

Xiao Yan nodded, thinking, Big Brother, you can’t blame me. Your little brother has no great abilities and no good gifts to repay you with.

He could only try to make sure you have many wives and concubines, and many children and blessings.

The conversation between the two sounded somewhat inexplicable to those around them.

However, from the joyful expression on Xiao Yan’s face, they understood one thing: Soul Cang was definitely going to give him something good again.

Hai Bodong’s body swayed slightly.

What’s going on? Why do my knees feel so soft, like I want to kneel? And my mouth, it also feels strange, as if it wants to say…

Elder Jia, Fa Ma, and the others were fine and didn't show such obvious abnormalities as Hai Bodong.

This was mainly because they didn't know much about Xiao Yan.

Unlike Hai Bodong, who had been in contact with Xiao Yan for a long time, Xiao Yan could casually pull out all sorts of good things.

They didn't wait too long before a figure descended, her pretty face taut and unsmiling. It was Yun Yun.

Soul Cang saw the newcomer, his mouth slightly open, his gaze shifting between Xiao Yan and Yun Yun.

Xiao Yan leaned in and whispered, “Big Brother, I just used your name to scare Yun Shan and Yun Yun. Please don’t blame me.”

Then, Xiao Yan quickly mentioned his request for Yun Yun to be a maid.

Soul Cang said: “Second Brother, she didn’t do anything to you, did she? What you did makes things very difficult for me.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yan, almost in tears, poured out to Soul Cang what had happened in the Demon Beast Mountain Range back then.

“Now that you mention it, that was quite excessive.” Upon learning that he was almost castrated, Soul Cang’s eyes showed a hint of sympathy. Was this the butterfly effect caused by himself?

Elder Jia and the others saw Yun Yun follow and didn't ask much, pretending not to notice.

Upon learning that a quiet place was needed, Hai Bodong immediately recommended going to the Imperial Capital, stating that he could help arrange things there and telling Soul Cang not to refuse, considering it a small repayment for helping him with his seal.

Mittel Tengshan received Hai Bodong’s look and quickly stepped forward to agree. To prevent Jia Xingtian from taking the lead, he even brought up Ya Fei.

He thought that with the experience in Wutan City and having met Soul Cang, it should have some effect.

Xiao Yan suddenly remembered something when he heard that name.

It seemed that when the Xiao Family and the Gale Family were competing for market business, in order to get medicinal ingredients at a cheaper price, he had seemingly promised something to Miss Ya Fei.

And that content seemed to be related to…

Glancing at his Big Brother’s back, Xiao Yan felt a little guilty. He was truly not a good person; Big Brother took such good care of him, yet he always used Big Brother’s name to do things.

However, since he had promised someone, it was not good to go back on his word.

Xiao Yan was the first to agree to Hai Bodong’s suggestion, under the pretext that he had never been to the Imperial Capital and wanted to broaden his horizons.

“Alright.” Soul Cang nodded when he saw everyone waiting for his reply.

Thus, the group set off in a grand procession.

Except for Xiao Yan and a few others who rode flying magical beasts, everyone else flew by condensing Dou Qi wings.

Soul Cang walked through the air with his hands behind his back, looking very relaxed.

Along the way, everyone saw Hai Bodong and Soul Cang chatting happily and also gathered closer.

Yun Yun, though silent throughout, also moved closer to listen to their conversation.

She was curious about what kind of person Soul Cang was.
