On the way back to Shimo City, in order to determine Xiao Yan's identity, Xue Lan also asked vaguely a few times, but each time she was vaguely resisted by Xiao Yan, and in this regard, she had to stare at the other party helplessly.

However, although Xiao Yan didn't admit it personally, after Xue Lan carefully glanced at this guy's appearance, she finally decided in her heart that the young man in front of her was definitely the little brother in Xiao Ding and Xiao Li's mouth with a somewhat weird cultivation state, Xiao Yan!

And after confirming Xiao Yan's identity, Xue Lan looked at Xiao Yan with a little less vigilance, and a little more soft smile.

In the chatting along the way, the outline of a huge city located on the eastern periphery of the Tagore Desert also faintly appeared in everyone's sight.

Looking at the stone desert city not far away, not only Xue Lan and the others breathed a sigh of relief, but even Xiao Yan had a little more smile on his face, and the penance and walking in the desert for more than ten days really made him mentally tired, and now he can have a place to rest, which naturally makes him quite excited.

In the cheers of everyone, Xiao Yan and the others slowly came to the gate of the city, and then rushed into the martial arts.

The cities in the desert are a little more simple and heavy than the cities inside the empire, perhaps because of the proximity to the Tagor Desert, the defense here is much stricter than the inside of the empire, and the cities are full of heavily armed soldiers patrolling. After entering the city, Xiao Yan followed Xue Lan and his party to the south of the city, and after turning a few streets, a courtyard that covered an area that was almost comparable to the Xiao family's compound in Utan City appeared in sight.

At the top of the courtyard, a banner swayed in the wind, and several big characters of the Motie Mercenary Group were drawn on it, faintly revealing a strong and iron-blooded aura.

Outside the compound. Several big men with fierce bodies were standing straight with weapons in their hands, their sharp eyes scanning the passers-by outside the door back and forth, judging from the faint smell of blood on their bodies, they were real iron-blooded men rolling from the edge of the knife. It's not those rookies who wear a weapon at their waist and think they are mercenaries.

"In this Stone Desert City, the strength of our Desert Iron Mercenary Group can rank among the top three, and only one Sand Mercenary Group can surpass us, and their leader is a big fighter, so the status of the Sand Mercenary Group is unshakable, and in addition to the Sand Mercenary Group, in this entire Stone Desert City. Only the Storm Mercenary Group can barely match us. Walking towards the compound, Xue Lan smiled at Xiao Yan on the side, with a slight pride in her smile.

He smiled and nodded. Xiao Yan was a little amazed in his heart, in just a few years, the eldest brother and the second brother were able to establish a strong force in this unfamiliar place, which really made him have to admire, since he was a child, he knew in his heart that if he came by himself, it would be absolutely impossible to have such an achievement. "The eldest brother has always been witty, even his father is full of praise, and the second brother is cautious and fierce. Tactful and ruthless, they join forces with each other, coupled with their excellent cultivation talents, they are really a perfect pair, no wonder there are such achievements..."Recalling his father's praise for the two brothers in the past, Xiao Yan couldn't help but laugh in his heart.

"Xue Lan. Are you all right? You've been attacked by snake people?" A big man stepped forward at the door. smiled at Xue Lan and asked.

"It's fine. He waved his hand casually. Xue Lan smiled and asked, "Are the two heads there?"

"Hmm. It's all there. Dahan smiled and nodded. His gaze swept over Xiao Yan on the side. Finally resting on his face. couldn't help but laugh: "Ever since I knew the name of this little brother." The two heads of the regiment were so excited that they couldn't sit still... Hehe. It is rare to see the head of the regiment, who has always prided himself on being calm and steady, so happy as to lose his temper. ”

Xiao Yan smiled slightly. But there is a warm current flowing in my heart. nodded kindly at the big man. Then Xue Lan, who covered her mouth and smiled lightly, walked into the courtyard and moved into the courtyard.

Follow behind Xue Lan. Walk through a few trails. All the way. I met a lot of members of the Desert Iron Mercenary Group. And when they met Xiao Yan. There was a hint of surprise on his face. Then he whispered and went into motion.

"Huh. The two regiment commanders will often mention you. Looks like the guy I called back to report earlier. I've preached you. He looked at the mercenaries around him. Xue Lan tilted her head and said with a smile.

With a wry smile, Xiao Yan nodded, it seemed that she had guessed her relationship with the two eldest brothers.

Following Xue Lan again to turn a small road, a spacious hall appeared in front of him, standing outside the hall, Xiao Yan listened to the two familiar man's voices coming from inside, his nose suddenly was slightly sour, different from Xiao Ning and others in the family, in this world, Xiao Ding and Xiao Li, but the real brothers who are related to him by blood, no matter how calm Xiao Yan's temperament is, but in this blood thicker than the blood of the water and the earth, he still can't help but feel a little excited and out of shape...

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Yan smiled apologetically at Xue Lan, who was smiling on the side, and then slowly approached the door, just about to push the door in, but the door creaked and was pulled open.

The door was opened, and a young face that looked at Xiao Yan a little bit suddenly appeared.

The young man is wearing a set of mercenary clothes, a tall body, straight and powerful, in the dark eyes, revealing lazy and feminine, above the face, full of smiles, but under this smile, there is a faint hiding a bit of vicious wolf-like fierceness, obviously, although the young man seems to be kind, but it is obviously the kind of person who does not offend me, I do not offend, if people offend me, they will bite back on the fierce type of martial arts.

The young man opened the door, looked at the young man who suddenly appeared in front of him, was slightly stunned, and then his body suddenly stiffened, and the fierce smile hidden on his face suddenly disappeared, and a bright and warm smile from the heart, which was extremely rare to float on the face of the young man.

Looking at the young man's warm smile, the tip of Xiao Yan's nose was slightly red, and his eyes couldn't help but be a little moist, in the family before, even after he fell into waste, the young man in front of him was still careful to maintain his remaining dignity, just like the evil wolf, biting all the clansmen who dared to speak out and taunt all over his body. Afterwards, he didn't forget to carry the scars of being waited for by the family law, and comforted his depressed self with a smile beside him.

"Second brother..."Wiping his eyes with the back of his hand, Xiao Yan stared at the young man in front of him, shouting in a trembling voice.

"Hehe, hehe... Xiao Yanzi really found it. Ha ha. Looking at the young man's appearance, the young man grinned a few times, then stepped forward quickly, hugged Xiao Yan fiercely, and patted him on the shoulder, his voice was also full of excitement and joy.

Yanzi, the affectionate name when he was a child, made Xiao Yan smile slightly, and wiped the fog in his eyes without a trace of his palm. smiled bitterly: "Second brother, do you want to shoot me to death?"

"Good, little one... The weird problem of your physique has been solved?" Xiao Li smiled and let go of Xiao Yan. The palm of his hand patted his shoulder, and his eyes scanned around his body, and he was surprised by the martial arts.

"Hmm. Xiao Yan smiled and nodded.

"Let's go and see the eldest brother first, he has been waiting for you for a long time. With that, Xiao Li grabbed Xiao Yan, and before he had time to say hello to Xue Lan on the side, he turned around and rushed into the hall to move into the martial arts.

Walking into the hall, Xiao Yan's eyes fell on the young man sitting in the first place. The young man was dressed in a white robe, and he was smiling at Xiao Yan who came into the room, and his eyes, which were a little brighter than ordinary people, revealed a bit of wisdom and imperceptible wit and cunning.

"Xiao Yanzi, I haven't seen you for a few years, but I've really grown up. The white-robed young man slowly stood up, staring at the young man who was almost tall enough to compare with Xiao Li, his eyes flashed with a touch of doting and softness, and he smiled and said with a smile.

"Big brother. Xiao Yan took a deep breath. Suppressing the fluctuations in his heart, the expression on his face gradually became as calm as a white-robed youth, and said with a smile: "Big brother is also getting more and more handsome and chic." ”

Seeing that Xiao Yan suppressed the emotions in his heart so easily, a trace of surprise flashed on the white-robed young man's face, and he nodded admiringly: "Little guy, it seems that after we left, you have experienced a lot, such concentration and mind." Maybe not even your second brother. ”

"The atmosphere was uncomfortable. But without that environment, I really wouldn't be able to get to where I am today. Xiao Yan spread his hands. Laughing and moving.

"Hehe, it's naturally good that you can get to where you are now, your second brother has been complaining that I didn't take you away at the beginning, but during the time of my travels in the Gama Empire, we almost died several times, if you were to follow you, wouldn't it hurt you, stay in the family, and your father can take care of you since you were a child..."

"Okay, okay, it's not easy to meet, so don't talk about the frustration in the past, fortunately, nothing happened to Xiao Yanzi, otherwise when I go back in the future, I will definitely teach those little bastards a good lesson!"

"Hehe, well, don't mention the old ones. Xiao Ding smiled, turned his gaze to Xiao Yan, and said with a smile: "Little guy, after listening to the report of the mercenary who came back, your strength seems to be at the level of a fighter?"

Hearing this, Xiao Li on the side also stared at Xiao Yan with a surprised face, he remembered that when he left, Xiao Yan was still wandering around in the third or fourth stage of fighting qi, right?

"Well, not long ago, when I was training, I was only promoted to the fighter. ”

"Tsk, it's really amazing, this kind of cultivation speed can't be compared even when you were at your peak when you were a child, right?" Seeing Xiao Yan nodding, Xiao Ding and Xiao Li couldn't help but exclaim.

"Hehe, it's not okay if you don't work hard to cultivate, after all, the three-year period is coming up..."Xiao Yan shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile.

"Three-year period?" Xiao Ding and Xiao Li were stunned for a moment, and after a while, the smile on Xiao Li's face gradually converged, and he said in a grim voice: "I heard that Nalan Yanran of the Nalan family really came to the family to force his father to dissolve the marriage contract?"

"They are really a little too deceitful..."Xiao Ding smiled faintly, his smile revealed a bit of coldness, with the strength of the Desert Iron Mercenary Group, it is indeed impossible to compete with the Yunlan Sect now, but he has always known how to forbear, and after so many years of polishing, that forbearance has reached the point of perfection, in this stone desert city, the name of the cunning fox Xiao Ding and the evil wolf Xiao Li, but they have made their opponents difficult to sleep and eat.

"Hehe, I'll take care of these things, eldest brother and second brother, just develop your power with peace of mind, maybe I will offend some big man in the future, and I have to rely on you to save my life..."

Xiao Ding and Xiao Li glanced at each other, a soft smile appeared on their faces, and they said softly: "No matter what happens in the future, you just need to remember that we are brothers, and when we established the Motie Mercenary Group, what you and I thought of was to build a safe place for you in the future... But looking at your current situation, it seems that you don't need our support anymore. ”

Xiao Yan smiled, and his smile was full of emotion.
