Staring at the faint cold light above his head, Xiao Yan withdrew his gaze and turned to look at everything under the cave hall.

A cold glimmer of light fell on the surrounding rocks, illuminating the vast cave hall.

Xiao Yan didn't rush in, although it was a relic left by his predecessors, there was no way to guarantee that there would be no hidden organs set up to prevent outsiders from disturbing him.

“…… What's wrong? ”

Nalan Yanran rarely wanders outside, and usually leaves the Yunlan Sect either to visit his family in the imperial capital, or to participate in some necessary sect activities on behalf of his master.

For example, if that incident hadn't happened in Yancheng, she would probably have been sent by her teacher to celebrate the birthday of Elder Mo Cheng of the Mo family.

It's just that what happened next is known to the whole country of the Gama Empire.

The Mo family in Yancheng didn't know where they offended the fierce god, and in the end, the entire family did not leave a single person, the meridians burst, and the head bloomed.

The entire Yancheng was covered with that disgusting and sticky smell of blood for more than a month, which caused the Gama royal family and the Yunlan Sect to tremble, and the real culprit who caused this tragedy must be caught no matter what.

It's just that all this has nothing to do with her, she just heard about it, and she doesn't know how.

It's just that she subconsciously feels a little strange, after all, she naturally knows who the powerhouses in the Gama Empire are, but there is really no one who can do this kind of thing quietly.

I guess it would only be the work of a strong person outside the empire...... That's really weird, if it's a strong person outside the empire, how can he look at the Mo family, which is just a mere fighting spirit?

Xiao Yan's words immediately recalled Nalan Yanran's thoughts: "All the relics left by the predecessors may have some traps and traps, some may just be warnings, and some may not be able to do something that will kill you as soon as you come up." ”

Xiao Yan stretched out his hand, and the dim yellow flames in his hand gradually converged into a beast spirit, rushing straight towards the end of the cave hall.

There were no toxins in the air here, and the wisps of dark purple flames that were quietly burning in Xiao Yan's fingertips were extinguished.

Nalan Yanran looked at the heterochromatic flames that emerged from Xiao Yan's hands with some curiosity.

It's always good to know yourself and your opponent.

Although there is really nothing to say with Liu Ling, between the exchanges with him, Nalan Yanran also has some understanding of some common sense of the alchemist.

For example, the deeper the flame of the fighting spirit, the more sophisticated it often represents.

This point is not limited to the alchemist, most of those who cultivate fire attribute exercises will also apply to such rules.

However, this was the first time Nalan Yanran had seen two different colors of flames appear on the same person's body.

Dusk yellow and deep purple, two different colors coiled and converged, and gradually disappeared at the end, which made Nalan Yanran very curious.

Could it be that this is a rumored fire?

Nalan Yanran couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, I heard that a few days ago, Danwang Guhe had also summoned many strong people from the Gama Empire to go to the Tagore Desert to find strange fires, but in the end he returned in vain.

…… I didn't expect to encounter it in such a place.

Nalan Yanran clasped her hands to her chest, I'm afraid that the origin of this strange fire also has something to do with her, right? She treats herself like this, so naturally it is impossible for Xiao Yan to be any worse.

"It doesn't seem like there's anything going on, let's go."

It wasn't until the beast spirit turned into a dim flame and flew back to Xiao Yan's fingertips that he raised his head and said.

"Hmm."

Nalan Yan was silent, just silently followed.

For this charming girl, Xiao Yan did have some thoughts about wanting to talk to her, but whenever he secretly caught a glimpse of her with his spare eyes, she always seemed to be in a posture of not approaching people and deliberately keeping a distance from herself, and there was a little bit of hostility.

Xiao Yan felt aggrieved for no reason, he didn't seem to do anything, right?

It's just that Nalan Yanran didn't give him this opportunity, and they walked through the huge cave hall to the depths of the cave hall.

At the same time, they all noticed the huge blue crystal on the top of their heads, Xiao Yan couldn't help but subconsciously raise his head and carefully look at the huge blue crystal, the substance like ice that has not melted for thousands of years emitted an ice-blue glow, deep but translucent.

He couldn't help but wonder what this thing was, it couldn't be something like moonstone, Xiao Yan still had this bit of eyesight.

And now the space they were in was not so much a cavern under the cave as a mezzanine between the rock and the huge crystal above them.

"Teacher, do you know what this thing is?"

Xiao Yan couldn't help but ask.

Yao Lao pondered for a moment, but did not answer in a hurry.

"I can guess some, but whether it's the thing I guessed or not, I need to confirm again."

Yao Lao's words made Xiao Yan raise his eyebrows.

"You can go inside first, even if this thing is really what I know, it's not something you can use at will."

Yao Lao shook his head and said immediately.

"Oh......"

Xiao Yan nodded, although he was puzzled, he didn't pay too much attention to it, after all, what he cared more about than the strange scenery in front of him was what was buried here.

It's not some legendary exercises and fighting skills, but the secret here.

In Xiao Yan's cognition, he came to Utan City from a very young age and grew up there.

Even in the mouths of the elders, they only vaguely knew that when their grandfather was still alive, the Xiao family was a big family located in the imperial capital of Gama, which was not much better than the big families in the imperial capital today.

This is his memory.

However, through the small piece of cloth handed to him by Miss Wan, who had a connection with his own bloodline, Xiao Yan realized that his family's roots may be far more than that.

If the ruins here were really set up by his predecessors, then I am afraid that they would only be forgotten by the word of mouth of his fathers for a long time.

Only his surname engraved in his blood will allow him to wake up at this moment.

But this is just Xiao Yan's speculation, not the truth.

He could only vaguely feel everything he had felt before, and he could barely guess that maybe something had happened to the Xiao family in the past, so that he would come to the Gama Empire after that.

And his actions at the moment are tantamount to verifying the truth of this speculation.

Walking in the cave, Xiao Yan noticed that there were rock walls around the cave that had been burned by flames, melted into magma, and then solidified again.

This trace is particularly obvious and strange, the rock structure inside the cave hall is distinct, but there are such traces......

While walking towards the deepest part of the cave, Xiao Yan couldn't help but stop his steps.

"What's wrong?"

Nalan Yanran asked behind Xiao Yan.

"Nothing, it's just that there may have been a violent fire in this cave before we came."

Xiao Yan tapped the stone pillar that melted halfway and came to an abrupt halt, and said.

"Speaking of which, could it be that everything that was left here in the past has been burned clean in a fire?"

"-Not necessarily."

Xiao Yan withdrew his palm and said, "This is not done yet, and I am not in a hurry to make a conclusion." ”

"Here...... Is it really a relic left by those who came before you? ”

The two continued to walk inside, but Nalan Yanran took the initiative to break the somewhat strange silence between the two after being silent for a long time.

The doubts in her heart naturally had a reason, not that she really doubted Xiao Yan, but realized that if the relics of the Xiao family had been left here in the Black Corner Domain, what kind of existence did the Xiao family have?

Wasn't the Xiao family originally a family in the imperial capital?

The doubts in your mind will soon lead to different answers, and then new questions will emerge.

"Of course I didn't lie to Miss Ran—but if you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do."

"Not really."

Nalan Yanran shook her head subconsciously, she didn't know why, although she didn't like Xiao Yan very much, but she was inexplicably not suspicious of Xiao Yan's personality.

- Why.

Nalan Yanran also felt a little unbelievable when she reacted.

Maybe it was because she had the courage to dare to leave her in front of the Xiao family in public, and she subtly realized what kind of person he would be.

Regarding this point, in fact, Yao Wan has mentioned it to her more than once.

Because of this, now that she has learned to restrain her sharpness and temperament, Nalan Yanran has gradually learned to think calmly in her mouth.

If you put aside your position, Xiao Yan's original behavior is understandable, and it even fits her temper very well, but it happens to be her who played the villain at the beginning.

Because of this, Nalan Yanran has no resentment towards Xiao Yan except for the hostility of her opponents, and if she has to say it, she may be a little jealous.

After all, it was the person in front of her who met her first, and he met her to a large extent even because of him, if it weren't for this, I am afraid there would not be much intersection between her and Yao Wan.

From this point of view, Nalan Yanran really can't say whether she should thank him or hate him.

"Let's go to the innermost part and see what's going on."

Xiao Yan said, and Nalan Yanran immediately followed.

“…… How did you meet her? ”

This question had been lingering in Nalan Yanran's heart for a long time, but after being silent and brewing in her heart for a long time, she finally couldn't bear the curiosity in her heart and couldn't help asking.

"This ......"

On the way, Xiao Yan pondered for a while, but he didn't know where to start.

"What's wrong? Inconvenient to say? ”

Nalan Yanran's tone rose slightly, didn't she just say it, anyway, she just asked casually, nothing remarkable.

"Ahem—"

Xiao Yan coughed lightly, and then said, "It's not inconvenient...... Forget it, since Miss Tilt Ran wants to hear it......"
