When Xiao Yan was being threatened and teased by Xiao Yu, a sudden reminder from medicine master from behind made him instantly alert.
"Xiao Yan, move away quickly!" medicine master's voice revealed urgency.
"What's behind? The danger is clearly beneath us," Xiao Yan still hadn't noticed Medicine Master's warning.
He turned around, only to see Gu Yunzhi rushing towards them at an astonishing speed, surrounded by a powerful fighting spirit, as if a bolt of lightning cutting through the air.
But then Xiao Yan immediately reacted and quickly rolled away from Xiao Yu, avoiding Gu Yunzhi's attack. Xiao Yu was caught off guard by the sudden change and hurriedly stood up, staring fixedly at Gu Yunzhi.
Gu Yunzhi landed on the ground with a slight anger on her face. She looked at Xiao Yan and asked coldly, "What are you doing, Xiao Yan?"
Xiao Yan stood up, brushed off the dust, and smiled helplessly, "I was just defending myself. Gu Yunzhi, why did you suddenly appear?"
Gu Yunzhi glared at him, then turned to Xiao Yu with a slightly softened tone, "What are you planning to do to Xiao Yan?"
Xiao Yu widened her eyes in surprise at the sudden appearance of Gu Yunzhi, feeling grateful for being rescued. However, she was determined not to show weakness and firmly said, "I'm just here to challenge Xiao Yan. Didn't he pass the Rite of Passage? He should be able to accept my challenge, right?"
After hearing this, Xiao Yan looked at her speechlessly and then said to Gu Yunzhi, "Don't worry, I can handle it."
Gu Yunzhi furrowed her brows slightly, as if considering something. She turned to look at Xiao Yan with a hint of concern in her eyes. "Xiao Yan, are you sure? Xiao Yu is not an ordinary opponent."
Xiao Yan nodded, a confident smile appearing on his face. "Don't worry, Gu Yunzhi, I'll be fine."
Gu Yunzhi considered for a moment, "No, your injury from a few days ago hasn't healed yet. You can't accept her challenge."
Xiao Yan shook his head and said to Gu Yunzhi, "Don't worry, Yun Zhi, I've almost recovered. And, Xiao Yu challenged me like this, I can't show weakness."
Gu Yunzhi frowned, but after seeing Xiao Yan's determined look, she eventually nodded, still cautioning, "Well, then, you must be careful and not get injured again."
Xiao Yu stood aside, watching the conversation between Xiao Yan and Gu Yunzhi, with a hint of playfulness on her face, thinking, " Xiao Yan, why are you so concerned and afraid of her?"
Xiao Yan smiled at Xiao Yu and said, " Xiao Yu, since you are so eager to challenge, then come on. I won't hold back."
Xiao Yu gritted her teeth, knowing that this was her chance to prove herself to Xiao Yan. She raised the whip in her hand, ready to attack.
The battle between the two of them began immediately. Xiao Yu's whip struck at Xiao Yan like a venomous snake, while Xiao Yan evaded with agile movements, searching for an opportunity to counterattack.
Xiao Yu attacked Xiao Yan with great momentum, her whip drawing tracks in the air accompanied by a whooshing sound. She shouted, " Xiao Yan, watch my 'Frost Vine Dance'!"
Xiao Yan calmly responded, using swift movements to evade, and countered, " Xiao Yu, your attacks are not enough!"
The battle continued for a while, with Xiao Yu's attacks becoming increasingly fierce. However, Xiao Yan remained calm, his eyes shining with a glint of wisdom.
Finally, after a fierce exchange, Xiao Yan seized an opening in Xiao Yu's defense. He swiftly struck, landing a palm on Xiao Yu's abdomen, forcing her back several steps.
Xiao Yu trembled as she steadied herself, a look of surprise on her face. She hadn't expected Xiao Yan's counterattack to be so strong. Gritting her teeth, she said, " Xiao Yan, I can't believe how strong your power has become."
Xiao Yan took a deep breath and replied, " Xiao Yu, you have already lost. Your level may be higher than mine, but you still need more practical combat experience."
Xiao Yu sat on the ground, feeling completely defeated. She said with a sense of loss, "Damn it... despicable pervert."
Gu Yunzhi walked over and said to Xiao Yu, "You are already very strong, but Xiao Yan is no pushover either. You don't have to be discouraged by this failure."
Later, the volume suddenly increased: "And I saw all of your previous battles, so rest assured, I will seek justice for you afterwards."
Xiao Yu raised her head, looking at Gu Yunzhi, first in a daze, then with a hint of gratitude in her eyes. She slowly stood up and quietly said to Yun Zhi: "I'll leave it to you then."
After the intense battle between Xiao Yan and Xiao Yu, he returned to the Xiao Family mansion with Gu Yunzhi. Walking along the familiar path, Xiao Yan seemed to have complex emotions.
He knew that the recent battle had taken a toll on Xiao Yu, but at the same time, he also felt the support and understanding from Gu Yunzhi.
Gu Yunzhi turned to look at Xiao Yan, with a concerned look in her eyes. "Xiao Yan, you performed very well just now, but I noticed that there was still some hint of strain in your movements. Is your injury really fully healed?" she asked.
Xiao Yan took a deep breath and replied, " Yun Zhi, I'm fine. I know my own physical condition. I did force it a bit in the fight just now, but it's nothing serious."
Gu Yunzhi nodded slightly, but his eyes still revealed concern. "I understand that you want to prove your strength, but there's no need to be so stubborn. You're too hard on yourself."
Xiao Yan smiled and shook his head gently. "I'm not trying to show off, Yun Zhi. In The Xiao Family, I have to demonstrate enough strength in order to gain more respect and opportunities."
Gu Yunzhi fell silent for a moment, then said, "Xiao Yan, do you know that you are not only the pride of The Xiao Family, but also my pride? You are already very powerful, and you don't need to prove anything anymore."
Xiao Yan stopped and turned to look at Gu Yunzhi with gratitude in his eyes. " Yun Zhi, thank you. Your words bring me great comfort."
The two continued walking along the path, and Xiao Yan gradually relaxed. They talked about various topics, with Xiao Yan sharing his insights and difficulties in cultivation, while Gu Yunzhi patiently listened, occasionally offering advice or comfort.
