404.1-year agreement
"Senior, please speak freely. As long as it is within my power, I will not refuse!" Xiao Yan replied sincerely.
Jiang Yunyan saved Little Fairy Doctor, and no matter how demanding her requests were, he would do his best to fulfill them. She was a member of the Thunder Clan, so even if her conditions were exceptionally strict, he would still try his best to meet them.
Little Fairy Doctor simply watched Xiao Yan quietly. Xiao Yan had already sacrificed so much for her, and no matter the outcome, she would definitely stay by his side! After returning this time and learning about the sacrifices Xiao Yan had made for her safety, she knew that she would never leave the man before her for the rest of her life!
Jiang Yunyan smiled meaningfully and patted Lei Jingxiao on the shoulder: "It's not troublesome. This little guy wants to travel for a while, but he lacks reliable companions. I'd like to trouble you to look after him for a period of time, about a year will suffice."
Lei Jingxiao looked at Xiao Yan with slight dissatisfaction and said, "Hmph, with his strength not even reaching the Dou Zun level, who's going to take care of whom?"
Jiang Yunyan flicked her finger, and an invisible burst of battle qi struck Lei Jingxiao on the head. Lei Jingxiao glared back angrily, but was then struck again by a burst of battle qi: "If you're still being picky, then come back to the clan with me!"
Lei Jingxiao hurriedly covered his head with his hands, not daring to say anything more, clearly showing that he was also extremely afraid of Jiang Yunyan.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan became even more puzzled. He would have accepted anything extremely difficult if Jiang Yunyan had asked for it. However, this request was far too easy, so easy that Xiao Yan even wondered if he hadn't heard something clearly: "This..."
Jiang Yunyan chuckled lightly: "What, are you finding it difficult?"
Xiao Yan firmly shook his head and said, "How could your request be difficult? But could you please speak to me privately?"
Jiang Yunyan nodded slightly, then with a light wave of her hand, Xiao Yan felt the scene before him rapidly change, and a slight dizziness washed over him. When the dizziness subsided, Jiang Yunyan had already brought Xiao Yan to a distant location outside the mountains. Xiao Yan was slightly taken aback; Jiang Yunyan's move was quite remarkable!
Although he had only heard of the Lei Clan for the first time within the Sound Valley, the fact that Jiang Yunyan could casually produce the Bodhi Transformation Saliva, a substance coveted by any powerful force, and that the eighth-grade alchemist capable of refining poison pills was merely Lei Jingxiao's bodyguard, coupled with the fact that they could cultivate a fierce and powerful young man like Lei Jingxiao, and Jiang Yunyan's unfathomable strength, all highlighted the extraordinary status and background of the Lei Clan. In Xiao Yan's mind, the Lei Clan's status had even slightly surpassed that of the ancient clans behind Xun'er!
"Okay, is there anything you want to say?"
"I would never refuse your request, senior. But I'm curious, why?"
"What? Why?" Jiang Yunyan chuckled, as if she didn't understand what Xiao Yan was saying at all.
"Senior's request seems somewhat unnecessary. Given your status and strength, there's no need for you to entrust such a task to me, is there? Moreover, Young Master Lei's true strength is probably far greater than mine, and those two seniors are also unfathomable. What can I possibly do with my meager abilities?"
Jiang Yunyan's smile remained mysterious: "You don't need to worry about any of that. Don't fret about the itinerary or anything. I'll instruct Lei Jingxiao to stay with you. You can take him wherever you want. I won't force you to teach him anything. My request will automatically end a year from today, how about that?"
Although Xiao Yan was still full of doubts, he knew that refusing Jiang Yunyan's request under these circumstances would be very insincere, so he accepted it.
Jiang Yunyan then led Xiao Yan back, gave Lei Jingxiao a few brief instructions, and then left with the two elders. Xiao Yan could tell that they had probably planned this beforehand, so the whole process was very simple. After speaking, Jiang Yunyan left without looking back with the two elders.
……
As Jiang Yunyan left, the two elderly men who had been closely following her remained frowning, looking at the figure before them with a hint of fear, hesitant to speak. Jiang Yunyan, without turning her head, said, "Elders, please ask if you have any questions."
After pondering for a moment, the elderly man surnamed Zhou finally spoke and asked, "Fairy, I don't mean to question your decision, but are we really not going to send anyone to secretly follow the young master?"
Jiang Yunyan scoffed, "What's the point of following him? Going to steal fighting techniques with him again?"
As soon as Jiang Yunyan finished speaking, the two old men blushed slightly. After all, they hadn't stopped Lei Jingxiao. For the Lei Clan, with their status, to steal fighting techniques from a so-called major power in the Central State was definitely not a glorious thing. Not to mention, the fact that Lei Jingxiao wanted to fight the young man from Yin Valley just because he was interested would be a laughing stock for other powers.
"Of course, I don't mean to blame the two elders, but if you follow that kid, he'll become complacent and won't get any real training. Why don't you just let go?"
Another elderly man added, "The young man surnamed Xiao does indeed have good potential, but isn't it a bit of a waste to entrust him with such an important task, especially since you specifically used Bodhi Transformation Saliva?"
"The reason I didn't intervene at first and watched for so long was to observe that kid's character." A hint of satisfaction flashed in Jiang Yunyan's eyes: "Being able to risk his life for someone important to him, Jingxiao will benefit from following him."
"Furthermore, since his surname is Xiao and he's connected to the ancient clans, and that little brat from the Yan clan has also spoken out, our Lei clan can't afford to fall behind! What's so special about a mere Bodhi Transformation Saliva? It's not even the Bodhi Heart! I have a feeling that something very exciting is going to happen to this little guy, Xiao Yan!"
The old man surnamed Zhou also sighed, "I understand what you're saying, but leaving no backup plan is a bit too dangerous for the young master. There are some experts within the Pill Tower and the Soul Palace."
"If something happens to him, it's his fate. Isn't he always shouting in the clan that he'll defeat Lei Dong? This year is just a small appetizer! If something happens to him in Zhongzhou with his strength, he'll be a joke when he goes to the secret realm!"
A stern coldness appeared in Jiang Yunyan's eyes: "If anything really happens to him, I'll take full responsibility!"
A hint of pity and concern appeared in the old man's eyes: "Young Master really wants to prove himself, and he's under a lot of pressure..."
"So what? Who told him to be the Thunder Clan chief's own son?"
