Chapter 235: A Gathering of Strong People

"Sister Medusa is strong, and she has an unsightly baldy by her side who is also somewhat strong." Zi Yan pouted as she spoke in defense of Medusa.

"Is that so?" Xiao Ming said, narrowing his eyes.

"Regardless of her strength, her reckless behavior will eventually lead her into trouble. If she gets caught, she can always leave, but the rest of the blame will fall on me."

Everyone knew that Zi Yan was part of Xiao Ming's group, and if she was caught stealing herbs, then Xiao Ming would be blamed by the others.

Although these people probably wouldn't dare confront him directly, the notion of a Dou Ancestor stealing herbs from a small clan would not reflect well on him if news of it spread.

However, since the matter had reached this point, returning the herbs was not an option either, as the risk of exposure would be too high.

Rubbing his forehead, Xiao Ming stuffed everything into his storage ring.

"You should stay indoors for the next few days. And I guess Medusa won't have much free time to play with you either."

With the three-year agreement approaching, Medusa, as Xiao Yan's bodyguard, would have very little free time.

Since Xiao Ming had spoken, Zi Yan could only agree.

...

Under the sun's illumination, Jia Ma Sacred City appeared incredibly glorious.

At this time, the inhabitants of the Imperial Capital were beginning their daily journey.

For ordinary people, this day was no different from usual.

However, the great clans of the Imperial Capital knew that today was a special day.

Today was the day when the Little Sect Leader of the Misty Cloud Sect, Nalan Yanran, and the Third Young Master of the Xiao Clan, which dominated the entire Northeast Province, Xiao Yan, would fulfill their three-year agreement.

"Didn't Master Xiao Ming also refine the Zong Breaking Pill for you? How come you didn't break through?" Hai Bodong asked.

"It's not that easy to break through to Dou Ancestor." Jia Xing Tian said somewhat depressed.

Hai Bodong felt somewhat amused. For Jia Xing Tian to say that, it must have meant that he had failed in his attempt to break through, but he didn't go too overboard, instead, he made a suggestion.

"Hahaha, don't be too demoralized, Master Xiao Ming will definitely come today, ask him at that time, maybe you can get another one."

"Sigh, hopefully." Jia Xing Tian sighed, that was what he had come for today.

Speak of the devil and he shall appear

Suddenly, a sudden clamor echoed through the crowd, both the powerful people on the treetops and the originally well-ordered members of the Misty Cloud Sect in the square below all looked a bit shocked at this moment.

Their gazes were fixed on the sky, where three figures were in the air, with the exception of the little girl who had Dou Qi wings, the remaining man and woman were flying through the air with nothing behind them.

The crowd was very clear about what this meant, they were two Dou Ancestors and one Dou Emperor!

And what was more important, all of them looked quite young.

"It's Master Xiao Ming! He's arrived!" someone in the crowd shouted.

Xiao Ming had once given a lecture at the Alchemy Association and had been seen by many people, so someone quickly recognized him.

"Master Xiao Ming has really broken through to Dou Ancestor, haha, to be able to meet such a strong person, this time I really didn't come to waste my time!"

"I heard that after taking the pills given by Master Xiao Ming, the Ice Emperor advanced five stars in one go. I had hoped to invite him too, but he was always busy. Today, I finally get to meet him in person!"

"Who are those two women accompanying Master Xiao Ming? I can't believe they're also that powerful!"

"..."

The crowd erupted in discussion and speculation, but they were ignored as Xiao Ming, accompanied by the two girls, flew over to where Jia Xing Tian and Hai Bodong were standing.
