Jealousy

Huyan Lanruo wasn't unfamiliar with Alan taking Xiao Ning'er's side. But it was never so sternly. Alan's stone-cold tone left her speechless.

Meanwhile, Xiao Ning'er's heart fluttered with happiness as her courage increased. She gave a victorious smirk to Huyan Lanruo.

Huyan Lanruo felt so embarrassed that she left the two alone. Alan talked to Xiao Ning'er for some time. This time, they talked about cultivation.

Xiao Ning'er had already reached the 2-Star Bronze Rank. The entire credit for her rapid increase in cultivation could be given to the Cultivation Technique that Alan gave her.

However, this wasn't the best cultivation technique that Alan had for Xiao Ning'er. And it was time to change that.

Xiao Ning'er's feelings for Alan had reached the pinnacle. It was time to give her a reward for her devotion.

Alan held nearly 60,000 Celestial Points at this moment. There were also two free points and an entire free attribute.

"Zila, I wish to use a free point to choose a Cultivation Technique for Ning'er. Choose the best one according to her soul attribute and form."

'Yes, Master. Give me a second,' Zila responded instantaneously.

A few seconds later, a notification window appeared in front of Alan's eyes.

[Do you wish to use the Free Point to acquire the Storm Dragon Cultivation Technique?]

Alan responded affirmatively. One of his free points was instantly deducted from his status window, and a scroll appeared inside his Spatial Ring.

Alan soon pulled out that scroll and presented it to Xiao Ning'er, "Ning'er, I have a cultivation technique for you. This is even better than the last one I gave you."

"W-What?!" Xiao Ning'er was shocked to hear that statement. The technique that Alan gave her earlier was already extremely good.

Xiao Ning'er believed that the Blue Storm Cultivation Technique was the best technique in the entire Glory City. She could never have imagined that Alan had another technique even better than this!

"Don't ever reveal its contents to anyone. It can cause a huge conflict," Alan warned softly.

Xiao Ning'er nodded seriously as she held this scroll carefully. She put it away in her Interspatial Ring before staring at Alan with a complicated expression, "…You give me such amazing gifts. How can I ever repay you for them?"

"Aren't I getting you?" Alan cheekily responded.

Xiao Ning'er blushed madly while turning her head away in embarrassment.

The two soon stood up and decided to take a walk in the area nearby. They held hands on the entire way. It seemed as though the two were advertising their relationship.

At this time, Nie Li and his companions were strolling in the area. When Nie Li spotted Xiao Ning'er joyfully interacting with Alan, he felt a little bitter. This sentiment, however, dissipated once he recalled that he had successfully prevented Ye Ziyun from falling in love with Alan.

There was, however, another individual who was passing by the place. And when he saw Alan and Xiao Ning'er having a good time, he became exceedingly furious.

This person was none other than Shen Fei.

Shen Fei was an extremely prideful individual who had acquired everything he wanted. Be it woman, weapon, armor, land, building, or anything that the Sacred Family could provide him.

Shen Fei was extremely delighted when his father engaged him to Xiao Ning'er. Her appearance was impressive, and he was very hopeful about her growth. He knew that she would only grow up to be more beautiful.

However, Shen Fei could never have imagined that another man would steal this woman from him. Moreover, he could never have imagined that this man would be his own younger brother!

Seeing Alan happily hang out with Xiao Ning'er showed just how much the two enjoyed each other's company. Yet, he recalled that Xiao Ning'er displayed a disgusted look whenever she saw Shen Fei.

Shen Fei couldn't tolerate their happiness and wished to crush it with all his might. However, Shen Fei knew that if he acted against Alan, the Sacred Family would heavily punish him.

Thus, Shen Fei decided to use his comrades to get the job done.

As long as those men didn't have a direct relation to him, Shen Fei would be fine and receive a light punishment. However, he would have taken his frustration out on Alan by then.

"Go and beat him up," Shen Fei spoke coldly.

His comrades noticed that Shen Fei was pointing at Alan. This meant they had to beat the young master of the Sacred Family.

"B-But brother, he is also a direct descendant of the Sacred Family. It will be devastating if we beat him," One of the fighters standing in the group spoke.

Shen Fei disregarded his worried and assured them, "Don't worry. I will take all the blame. Moreover, you aren't going to kill him. Just say that you were sparring with him and helping him increase his combat experience."

Shen Fei's words appeased them to some degree, but they were still worried.

Shen Fei frowned and spoke coldly, "You will receive a beating from me if you don't go. You can decide what is more terrifying."

Those words instantly made his comrades move in Alan's direction.

Meanwhile, Shen Fei showed a disdainful sneer. These people were truly naïve to believe that Shen Fei would take a stand for them.

After returning to the Sacred Family, Shen Fei would place the blame on them. When the matter comes to light, who would the Sacred Family believe? Their eldest young master or a group of conspirators?

It went without saying that the Sacred Family would believe their eldest young master.

However, Shen Fei's comrades didn't know what he was plotting. They earnestly believed that Shen Fei would help them.

Alan sensed a group of warriors walking in his direction. They were all Silver Rank Demon Spiritualists. The strongest among them was a 4 Star Silver Rank Demon Spiritualist.
