Reborn: All beasts recognize their master, dig up the divine bones

After City Lord Yan returned to the City Lord's Mansion, he saw Yan Xiao's mother still sitting there waiting for him.

When City Lord Yan saw the heavily made-up woman in front of him, he felt a headache.

"City Lord, you're back. What's the situation? Can you find Xiao'er?" The woman came up to City Lord Yan immediately when she saw him.

"I don't know. You said Xiaoer's life tablet was broken. Even if he is found, his chance of survival is slim." City Lord Yan sighed.

"Wuwuwu... My Xiaoer, my poor Xiaoer, neither you can see him alive nor his body after he died." The woman wailed again upon hearing this.

"Sister-in-law, you go back to the Yan family first. As for Xiaoer, I will try my best to send someone to look for him." City Lord Yan rubbed his aching brows.

"City Lord, didn't you go to look for that Huo Lan? What was the result?" The woman looked at City Lord Yan.

"Based on the current situation, Xiao'er's disappearance has nothing to do with Huo Lan." City Lord Yan shook his head.

"Then where is my Xiaoer? Where did he go?" The woman was very confused.

"Sister-in-law, you are tired today. Go home and have a rest first. I will do my best for Xiaoer's matter." City Lord Yan just wanted to have a good rest now.

Hearing the woman's wails one after another, she felt like her head was about to explode.

After hearing this, the woman had no choice but to go back to Yan's house first.

At this time in the Yan family, Old Man Yan and Yan Xiao's father had gloomy expressions on their faces.

Several young masters of the same generation as Yan Xiao were extremely excited.

Once Yan Xiao, the legitimate son, dies, they, the illegitimate sons, will have the opportunity to climb up. How can they not be happy?

As soon as they heard that Yan Xiao's mother, Madam Yan, had returned from the City Lord's Mansion, they all came to inquire about the news.

When they heard Madam Yan say that even the city lord couldn't find Yan Xiao, although they looked very worried, they were actually so excited that they almost went crazy.

The next day.

Not long after Nangong Xi and the others got up, City Lord Yan arrived.

Nangong Xi and Huo Lan were a little confused as they looked at City Lord Yan, who was looking at them with a big food box in front of him and a smile on his face.

"City Lord Yan, what are you doing?" Huo Lan asked.

"Ahem... I just happened to be free this morning, so I brought you breakfast," City Lord Yan said with some embarrassment after coughing twice.

Nangong Xi: ...

Deliver breakfast? He was so smart that he could come up with that idea.

"Mr. Huo Lan, you guys can eat breakfast first. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first." City Lord Yan handed the lunch box to Huo Lan and left quickly.

This is my first time doing something like this, and I’m really not used to it!

"Poisonous?" Nangong Xi looked puzzled.

City Lord Yan is really weird. He looked so arrogant last night, but today he came over with a smile on his face to deliver breakfast.

Anyone would be suspicious of this.

"Just take it out and you'll know." Seeing Nangong Xi's face full of doubt, Huo Lan smiled and put the lunch box on the table.

"Let me take a look." Qu Xiao said as she opened the lunch box.

There were more than a dozen plates of delicious breakfast inside.

After checking each dish one by one, Nangong Xi found that none of them were poisonous.

Now the three of them looked at each other, even more confused.

"Xixi, do you think City Lord Yan is trying to please you?" Qu Xiao looked at Nangong Xi.

"To please me? Why?" Nangong Xi was puzzled.

"You forgot that he is now in the probation period for the city lord. Whether he can continue to be the city lord after that is up to you." When Huo Lan saw Xixi's appearance, he obviously forgot about this matter completely.

Or rather, she didn't take it to heart at all.

"That should be it." Nangong Xi nodded.

Qu Xiao: ...

Xixi was so confused that she forgot such an important thing.

Huo Lan: ...

Xixi is too casual. After all, whether City Lord Yan can continue his career as City Lord is in her hands.

"Eat, I'm a little hungry." Nangong Xi picked up the chopsticks and started eating.

Huo Lan and Qu Xiao smiled at each other and picked up their chopsticks to start eating together.

"Tomorrow is the competition for the Genius List. This is your first time participating in the competition. Let me explain the rules of the competition to you." Huo Lan looked at Nangong Xi and Qu Xiao.

The two nodded when they heard this and looked at Huo Lan with wide eyes.

Seeing their surprisingly consistent expressions, Huo Lan almost couldn't help laughing out loud.

"The competition for the Genius List is actually very simple. The top ten of us will sit aside and watch and accept challenges at any time. You have two choices. One is to directly challenge the top ten, but if you fail, you can only wait for the next competition for the Genius List." Huo Lan said and looked at them.

"Is there another option?" Qu Xiao asked.

"The other option is to take part in all contestants' competitions and fight your way up layer by layer. Even if you don't make it into the top ten in the end, at least you'll be on the talent list," Huo Lan explained.

"Xixi, which one are you going to choose?" Qu Xiao looked at Nangong Xi curiously.

"I always like simple and rough things." Nangong Xi smiled when he heard that.

"I knew you would choose the first one." Qu Xiao also smiled when she heard it.

"Xiao'er, what about you?" Huo Lan looked at Qu Xiao with a smile.

"I decided to give it a try and challenge the tenth place on the genius list." Qu Xiao said.

"Actually, there is a faster way." Nangong Xi looked at Qu Xiao.

"What method? Are we supposed to blow up our way through?" Qu Xiao's eyes lit up when he heard that.

"No." Nangong Xi shook her head.

"No? Then what is the method?" Qu Xiao looked at Nangong Xi in confusion.

"You can challenge Huo Lan directly and make him lose to you. Then you will be second on the genius list. How great is that." After saying this, Nangong Xi looked at Qu Xiao teasingly.

"Xixi, you are teasing me again." Qu Xiao said angrily when she heard it.

“It’s not impossible.” Who knew that Huo Lan would actually agree with Nangong Xi’s statement.

Qu Xiao's face turned even redder when she heard this.

"Xixi is making trouble, and you are following her." Qu Xiao rolled her eyes at Huo Lan.

"Puchi..." Seeing Qu Xiao's red face, Nangong Xi laughed out loud without any conscience.

"I don't want to. If I do that, any one from the top ten will challenge me, and the second place on the genius list will be easily taken by someone else." Qu Xiao shook her head.

"What's the big deal? The worst that can happen is that Huo Lan can just take it back." Nangong Xi said with a smile.

"Do you think I'm bored and looking for trouble?" Qu Xiao rolled her eyes at Nangong Xi.

"Xixi, no more jokes, which one are you going to challenge?" Seeing that Nangong Xi was about to say something again, Qu Xiao quickly changed the subject.

"We'll see when the time comes. I'll challenge whoever makes me unhappy." Nangong Xi had an expression that looked like he was waiting for someone to be in trouble.

"Xixi, why don't you try something more exciting? You challenge the number one, Yunxi." Huo Lan looked at Nangong Xi.

"Is this really a good idea? Wouldn't it be embarrassing if we fail? After all, Yun Xi looks very powerful." Nangong Xi muttered.

"Xixi, if we can't beat him, can't we blow him up? At worst, we can give him a pack of blind box poison powder." Qu Xiao looked at Nangong Xi.

Nangong Xi: ...

Sister Xiao has become violent, either bombing or poisoning!
