Chapter 115 Nalan Yanran
Upon entering Yancheng, one finds every household decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and even the guards patrolling the streets wear red flowers on their chests.
"The influence of the Mohist school seems to be greater than I imagined."
Xiao Yan wasn't in a hurry to storm the Mo family. After all, this was Mo Cheng's last birthday celebration, and since the other party was going to hold a grand birthday banquet here, he would slap him in the face when he was at his most triumphant.
This also ensured that all the forces present remembered the name Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan, dressed in the robes of a first-grade alchemist, occasionally attracted attention as he walked down the street.
However, today is a joyous day for the Mo family, so it's not surprising that an alchemist was invited.
However, this alchemist was very young, and his teacher must have been a very famous and influential figure.
Xiao Yan found the largest hotel, and as soon as he entered, a beautiful waitress came over.
"Sir, do you have an invitation?"
The other person's smile was very polite, causing Xiao Yan to frown slightly. Sure enough, everyone in this city was the same.
"Another invitation from the Mohists. Does that mean we can't stay without an invitation? Then we might as well just rename Yancheng Mocheng."
Xiao Yan's indifferent tone left the waitress stunned. On one side was the Mo family, and on the other was an alchemist. She was a nobody who couldn't afford to offend either side.
For a moment, he stood there awkwardly, unsure whether to laugh or not.
"You're absolutely right, Yancheng has long been known as Mocheng. You must be from out of town, not even aware of that?"
Not far away, a silvery female voice came from nearby. Xiao Yan turned his gaze and found that it was the girl in red who had been in front of him before. It seemed that the guards had called her Miss Ling Lin.
At this moment, she was sitting at a table in the hotel, with a middle-aged man sitting next to her.
The middle-aged man was a five-star Grand Dou Master and appeared taciturn, while the girl in red was only a five-star Dou Zhe.
Having the strength of a five-star Dou Zhe at less than twenty years old is actually quite good in the entire Jia Ma Empire, but it's nothing compared to Xiao Yan.
"Ha, the Mohists are really domineering."
Xiao Yan sneered, making no attempt to hide his words.
As soon as Xiao Yan said this, everyone in the inn turned to look at him, glaring angrily at him.
The people who are here today are all more or less connected with the Mohist school.
Besides, this is Yancheng, the stronghold of the Mohist school. Anyone who dares to criticize the Mohist school here must have a death wish.
Even though he was a first-grade alchemist, he was still nothing in front of the Mo family.
"Hehehe, this Yancheng is the territory of the Mo family. If we can't even have a say here, then the Mo family might as well disband on the spot."
The one speaking was still the girl in red, her beautiful eyes fixed on Xiao Yan.
The guy in front of her looked about the same age as her, was a first-grade alchemist, and was also very much to her liking. She liked him very much.
Seeing his young mistress in this state, the middle-aged man beside him couldn't help but shake his head helplessly.
Given my short attention span, I don't know how long I can keep it up.
I remember the last young master of a certain family who was abandoned by his young mistress before he even had a chance to hold her hand.
"And who are you?"
Xiao Yan frowned slightly. Judging from the girl's identity, she should also be a member of the Mo family. However, the fact that she wasn't angry about his attitude towards the Mo family was rather strange.
The girl in red raised an eyebrow. Usually, all those people valued her Mo family's background and strength, and were obsequious to her.
Having finally encountered someone she liked who wasn't afraid of the Mohists, she couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement.
"Me? Listen carefully, my name is Mo Linglin, and I am the domineering Mo family member you mentioned."
Mo Linglin introduced herself, a hint of smugness on her face.
Although she always said she didn't like others valuing the power behind her, she herself was always proud of the Mohist school, which was extremely contradictory.
"So, are you going to kick me out of here or kill me?"
Xiao Yan's tone was firm yet neither humble nor arrogant. If the Mo family could really kill people in the street at will, then he would have no psychological burden when dealing with them.
"On the contrary, you keep saying you're not convinced by the Mohists, but that's because you haven't witnessed the true strength of the Mohists. Once you do, you'll be amazed by their power."
You're probably not someone invited by my Mohist school, but I can take you to my Mohist Grand Elder's birthday celebration so you can broaden your horizons.
Mo Linglin waved her hand and took out a gold-embossed invitation from her storage ring: "This is my Mo family invitation. With this, you can freely enter and leave the Mo family's Longevity Garden. I'll be waiting for you there."
After saying that, Mo Linglin got up and called the middle-aged man next to her to leave the hotel together.
Xiao Yan couldn't help but smile as he looked at the invitation that had landed in front of him. Although the girl's behavior was strange, at least she had saved him a lot of trouble.
There are too many people from other forces who came to congratulate the Mo family this time. If I were to unleash a Wind Fury Dragon Flame, it might cause harm to innocent people.
Although Xiao Yan could not easily let the Mo family go, he also did not want to make enemies on all sides for the Xiao family.
After Mo Linglin left, Xiao Yan silently accepted the gold-embossed invitation. This action was seen by many people in the inn as a pretentious act, implying that he was just trying to curry favor with the Mo family, and he was thus looked down upon.
Of course, Xiao Yan wouldn't pay them any attention.
Now that we have gold-embossed invitations, there's no need to worry about accommodation anymore. We can just swagger in before the birthday banquet even starts.
Xiao Yan turned and left the inn, heading towards the Mo family. As the largest family in Yancheng, the Mo family's businesses accounted for 60% of the entire city's economy!
The Mo family's residence, though seemingly a mansion, was actually much larger than the city lord's mansion; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a city within a city.
The location of the Mo family is not difficult to find; it is situated in the most prominent place in the entire city, and can be reached by following other worshippers.
After walking for about ten minutes, Xiao Yan finally arrived at the Mo family's residence, following the long line of people offering their congratulations.
The gate of the Mo family mansion was ten meters wide, and a city gate was built around it, guarded by several fully armed servants. From a distance, it looked like a fortress.
At the main gate, two retainers with the strength of a Battle Master greeted the guests and even recorded and loudly announced the gifts of the arriving guests.
If the gift is of high value, it will make the guest feel honored.
However, if the gifts are of poor quality, it will make the guests feel very embarrassed.
However, this was also intentional on the part of the Mohists. The attitude of those who came to congratulate them could be seen from the gifts they sent.
"The Bai family from Beicheng has come to offer their congratulations, bringing with them a gift: a century-old Spirit Pattern Ginseng!"
"The Meng family from Shicang City has come to offer their congratulations, bringing a gift of 50,000 gold coins!"
"The Tianlu Chamber of Commerce from Haiyun City has come to offer their congratulations, and their gift is a low-level Xuan-rank cultivation technique!"
Just as the guests were entering the Mo Family Longevity Garden one after another, a group of people dressed in moon-white clothing suddenly appeared in front of them.
Their appearance caused other forces in the surrounding area to give way. From the sword pattern, it could be seen that this was Yunlan Sect, the largest force in the Jia Ma Empire!
The girl who was leading the group, about seventeen or eighteen years old, was riding a tall horse. Although she was not yet twenty, she already had the strength of a Battle Master!
Her appearance was stunning, yet her face always carried a hint of coldness, giving her an aura that kept people at a distance.
Xiao Yan, who was not far away, recognized the other party at a glance. It was Nalan Yanran, his nominal fiancée, who had challenged him more than a year ago!
