Chapter 251: Hiring A Long Time Fighter

As first rays of the morning sun leaked through the patterned window, speckles of light could be seen illuminated on the floor boards, forming an image just like a blooming flower, warm and beautiful.

In the room, Xiao Yan, who was seated in a crossed-legged position on the green lotus, slowly opened his eyes. A faint green glow that was emitted from the pitch black pupil suddenly flashed, and disappeared in seconds.

Stretching his body, Xiao Yan took in a light breath of the cool morning air, a comfortable feeling surged in between his heart and lungs which gradually spread through his whole body.

After a night’s rest, the exhaustion on Xiao Yan’s face has completely disappeared, he gently came down from the Green Lotus Seat. With a wave of his palm, the Green Lotus Seat turned into a blur of green light and was sucked back into the storage ring.

Straightening his clothes, Xiao Yan opened the door and entered the living room. Sweeping his eyes, he discovered that Hai Bo Dong had already woken up and was standing at the window, quietly staring out the window at the noisy street with his arms held behind his back.

Aware that Xiao Yan had come out, Hai Bo Dong turned around showing his teeth and smiled, saying: “Seeing your current state, you seem to have adjusted well, haven’t you?”

Nodding his head with a smile, Xiao Yan flicked out a wide black robe, and said while smiling: “Come on, lets take advantage of the Mo clan being busy today. We will first go in to look for Qing Ling, then we will give the old guy from the Mo clan a good birthday celebration…”

“Looking at the murderous expression on your face, it seems like the Mo clan’s happy occasion would quickly change into a funeral arrangement.” Hai Bo Dong looked at the cold expression on Xiao Yan’s face and raised an eyebrow as he joked.

“Since he can order people to obliterate the Desert Metal Mercenary Company, he naturally must have some preparations in case of revenge. Although I am not willing to exterminate his family at this moment, there is no reason to hesitate about killing the old man.” Xiao Yan put both of his hands into his sleeves, smiled and said: “In addition, with the Mo clan losing their main support, I’m afraid that the position of their clan will rapidly decline. At that time, the three large clans of the Eastern Province would not give up trying to gobble up the territory of the Mo clan.”

“Aren’t you afraid that the Misty Cloud Sect would come to help him take revenge?”

“Old man Hai, do you think that the Misty Cloud Sect would come to kill two Dou Huang pract.i.tioners just because of the death of a minor minister?” Xiao Yan smiled.

“Two Dou Huang pract.i.tioners?” Hai Bo Dong blinked. After a long while, he rolled his eyes and said: “I have already mentioned that I do not want you to drag me into it; this is a matter between you and them, and I am not related.”

“Is the old man Hai scared of the Misty Cloud Sect?” Xiao yan said while smiling.

“Sigh, don’t use such lowly methods to goad me and fight. Although I am wary of the Misty Cloud Sect, it’s a long way from me being scared. I just do not want to anger them with no reason but because of you. Once my debt to you is over, I will regain my freedom and leave to the high skies and wide land.” Hai Bo Dong threw out words of withdrawal.

Playing around with a exquisite wooden table cup, Xiao Yan hesitated for a moment before sweeping his eyes up and down Hai Bo Dong, smiling authentically: “Old man Hai, what starred Dou Huang are you right now?”

“Two stars. Why do you ask?” when faced with this question, Hai Bo Dong’s face turned stiff and bitterly replied.

“Oh, then could I ask how many stars did you have before you were sealed?” Xiao Yan had a treacherous smile on his face, like a fox staring at a coveted rabbit.

“Five Star.” Hai Bo Dong said, while glancing at Xiao Yan.

“Five star Dou Huang……, So it seems, although the old man Hai’s seal had been broken, he still cannot return to his previous peak.” Xiao Yan said with some regret.

Pouting his mouth, Hai Bo Dong waved his sleeve at Xiao Yan and said: “I have been sealed for decades, it is impossible for my strength to revert in an instant. I will only need… maybe four to five years before my strength will return to it’s peak.”

“Ha ha, I am scared that Old Mister Hai himself isn’t too sure about his words. As we all know that sometimes, recovering one’s strength after losing it may take longer than the time needed for promotion. Who knows how long it will take?” Xiao Yan smiled and shook his head.

“Xiao Yan, what are you trying to say?” Hai Bo Dong asked as he glanced and scowled at the strange smile on Xiao Yan face.

I just want to say, I might be able to let the Old Mister Hai recover his lost strength from the seal within a year’s time and with no significant side effects. “Xiao Yan fingers gently tapped the cup on the wood, chuckling.
