Chapter 84 The insignificant Xiao family, do they think my Yunlan Sect has no one?!
"Cough cough..."
Yao Chen cleared his throat and said seriously,
"In this matter... I was indeed in the wrong first. But I, Yao Chen, am by no means an ungrateful person."
His gaze shifted to Xiao Yan, who was furious, and a hint of approval flashed in his eyes.
This little guy has a strong will; even after such a change in circumstances, he hasn't completely succumbed to despair.
Both talent and temperament are excellent choices.
"Kid,"
Yao Chen's voice carried a hint of solemnity and authority.
"Would you be willing... to become my disciple?"
"You want to become my disciple?!"
Xiao Yan was so angry he almost laughed; his chest heaved violently.
"You drained my fighting spirit of three years and ruined three years of my life, and now you want me to be your apprentice?!"
You're dreaming! I..."
"Brother Xiao Yan!"
Before he could finish refusing, his arm was gently pulled by a cool, soft hand.
Xiao Xun'er stepped forward.
Her beautiful eyes shone brightly as she whispered:
"Brother Xiao Yan, do you know... what an alchemist is?"
"An alchemist?"
Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment.
Over the years, he has been so focused on his cultivation that he doesn't know much about these professions on the mainland.
But Xiao Zhan, standing to the side, was startled.
His eyes suddenly burst forth with an astonishing light!
"Miss Xun'er, what do you mean…" Xiao Zhan's voice trembled slightly.
Xiao Xun'er nodded, her gaze towards Yao Chen softening and becoming more serious.
"That's right! This Senior Yao Chen was not only a renowned peak Dou Zun expert who once shook the Central Plains..."
Even more so...
Standing at the pinnacle of alchemists on the continent, a ninth-grade alchemy grandmaster!
"A ninth-rank... alchemy master?!"
Xiao Zhan gasped, his legs feeling weak.
The three elders were dumbfounded, their jaws nearly dropping to the ground.
Alchemist!
That's the most prestigious and transcendent profession in the Dou Qi Continent!
They are the Xiao family of Wutan City.
The most skilled alchemist I could come into contact with.
That is to say, Master Gu Ni at the Mittel Auction House is only a second-grade official!
That was already someone they had to look up to and fawn over.
A ninth-grade alchemy master... what does that even mean?
That's a legendary figure!
This is enough to make countless empires and superpowers treat him as an honored guest and vie to win him over!
And now, such a legendary being,
They actually want to take Xiao Yan as their disciple?!
Yao Chen stood with his hands behind his back, and at the opportune moment, he slightly raised his head.
A sense of mastery naturally arises.
He was completely different from his slightly guilty look just now.
Xiao Zhan's face turned bright red with excitement.
He grabbed the still-dazed Xiao Yan and pressed him down:
"You unfilial son! Quickly kowtow to your senior and apologize!"
If a senior is willing to accept you as a disciple, that's a blessing you've accumulated over eight lifetimes!
"Quickly! Kowtow!"
Xiao Yan still felt extremely awkward, but seeing his father so agitated,
Again, Xiao Xun'er's eyes were full of encouragement and expectation.
He gritted his teeth.
Finally, he suppressed the anger in his heart.
He took a deep breath, stepped forward, and respectfully knelt down before Yao Chen's soul, bowing his head in reverence.
"Disciple Xiao Yan greets Master!"
I have offended you in my ignorance; please forgive me, Master!
A genuine smile appeared on Yao Chen's face as he raised his hand slightly.
Get up!
In the past, I, as your teacher, have also made mistakes.
From this day forward, now that you are my disciple, I will impart all my knowledge and skills to help you reach the pinnacle once more!
The three elders were overjoyed and beaming with smiles; there was no trace of their previous resentment.
There was envy and jealousy,
But more than anything, it was a sense of pride and ecstasy!
With such an extraordinary opportunity, how far is it from the Xiao family's rise to prominence?
What's a little friction within the family?
Even if family members bicker and argue behind closed doors, they are still family!
Blood ties are the fundamental bond that cannot be severed!
Xiao Mei stood in the crowd,
Looking at that tall, straight back, and recalling my estrangement and coldness over the years, I felt a mix of emotions.
Xiao Xun'er saw that Xiao Yan had found a famous teacher,
His eyebrows and eyes relaxed, revealing a genuine smile.
With the help of the Medicine Master, the continent's foremost alchemist, he provided meticulous instruction.
Xiao Yan's future is sure to be bright.
With Xiao Yan's formal apprenticeship complete, Yao Chen's matter was considered resolved.
However, the subtle atmosphere in the hall did not completely dissipate.
Everyone's gaze involuntarily fell on Xiao Xun'er and Ling Ying.
This beautiful young woman has always been like a snow lotus on a high mountain, inspiring both a desire to get close and a sense of distance.
It remains unclear and unfathomable.
Now, not only has it been revealed that he possesses a strange flame, but he is also secretly protected by a mysterious, top-tier expert...
They couldn't help but become curious about her identity.
"Thank you, little sister Xun'er!"
After Xiao Yan stood up, he gave Xiao Xun'er a sincere smile.
This broke the eerie atmosphere and helped Xiao Xun'er out of a tight spot.
He already knew,
Xiao Xun'er is not a member of the Xiao family.
What we see today,
It made him feel more clearly the connection between the two of them.
That seemingly insurmountable chasm is quietly widening.
"Brother Xiao Yan, when did you become so distant with me?"
Xiao Xun'er keenly noticed,
A fleeting hint of aloofness flashed in his eyes, causing a slight tightening in her heart. She immediately stepped forward, her tone tinged with reproach.
Actively shorten that invisible distance.
"Ah, haha, yes, yes, we're all family, no need for formalities!"
Seeing this, Xiao Zhan quickly tried to smooth things over with a laugh, his gaze sweeping over the three elders.
The three elders were incredibly astute.
He immediately stopped talking about Xiao Xun'er's identity.
It's better for everyone if we don't break the ice.
Yao Chen's gaze lingered on Xiao Xun'er for a moment.
It felt like touching upon some long-forgotten memories...
But then, a surge of heroic spirit welled up in his heart.
So what if they are ancient tribes?
Since this girl truly has feelings for Xiao Yan,
And Xiao Yan is already Yao Chen's disciple... So, no matter what, he must fight for his disciple!
Outside Wutan City.
Nalan Yanran was distraught. She had only walked a short distance from the city gate when she was stopped by a figure filled with anger.
The newcomer had white hair and a dignified face.
It was none other than Yun Leng, the Grand Elder of the Yunlan Sect.
He was sent by the sect leader, Yun Yun, to bring Nalan Yanran back.
And secretly investigate the matter of Kuzuha's death.
Let's also see if we can find any clues related to the "Chosen One".
"Yanran! What exactly happened? Ge Ye died inexplicably, and you look like this..."
Yun Leng's voice was low and suppressed, conveying his anger.
"Just now in the city, I vaguely heard rumors that you...you were divorced by that Xiao family brat?!"
Nalan Yanran's delicate body trembled, she lowered her head, tears welling in her eyes, her voice choked with sobs:
"Elder... it was Yanran's willfulness that implicated the sect and Deacon Ge Ye... I..."
"Foolish!"
Yun Leng scolded her for her lack of ambition, but seeing Nalan Yanran's appearance, she couldn't bear to continue.
"This is absolutely not your fault!"
"Come on, lead the way!"
"I'd like to see just how much guts this Xiao family has to be so insolent!"
"Does the Yunlan Sect really think it has no one left?!"
A cold glint flashed in Yun Leng's eyes, his killing intent palpable.
He already had a plan in mind.
This matter concerns the sect's reputation and must not be circulated outside.
If the Xiao family is sensible and takes the initiative to change their tune, perhaps some room for maneuver can be left.
If they don't know what's good for them...
Hmph, before this matter spreads far and wide...
He wouldn't mind using some drastic measures to make this small Xiao family disappear completely from Wutan City!
