Chapter 9: Going Further

Chapter 9: Going Further

The next morning, sunlight spilled into the room through the window as Xiao Yan woke up and stared blankly at the ring hanging from his chest, not moving for a long time.

Hey kid, whats wrong? Still feeling groggy from your sleep? A sudden voice in his head brought Xiao Yan back to his senses, and he laughed embarrassedly.

No, I just thought last nights events were just a dream.

Indeed, no one would have believed what happened last night was real.

At the lowest point of his life, a woman as beautiful as a fairy suddenly appeared and took him as her disciple, helping him improve his strength and preparing to teach him alchemy. It was impossible not to feel unreal.

Hmph~ Yao Chen snorted lightly, urging him, Since youre awake, go buy some medicinal materials.

Yes!

Xiao Yan responded and got up to get dressed.

As he was getting dressed, Xiao Yan seemed to remember something and asked awkwardly, Um Sister Yao, can you see the outside world when youre in the ring?

Oh yes~ I can see everything clearly, including the fact that your cousin took you to Ning Chun Tower the day before yesterday. Yao Chen suddenly became interested and teased him in with her words. It seems that youre still inexperienced? How can that work? If youre not familiar with women, you might be left with nothing but your underwear in the future~

Uh

Xiao Yans face turned slightly red, and he asked back in embarrassment, What about you, Sister Yao?

At that time, there were many men who wanted to pursue me, but I didnt like any of them. Yao Chen said very proudly, and Xiao Yan didnt think she was lying.

With her appearance as a heavenly beauty and being an alchemist, her strength should be good, and she must have had many suitors.Read latest chapters at novelhall.com Only

Although her character was indeed difficult to describe almost like a female hooligan.

But what Xiao Yan wanted to ask wasnt that.

To be honest, I was wondering if Sister Yao was never mind, forget it.

Shaking his head to dispel any impolite thoughts, Xiao Yan left the room with the scroll he had finished writing the previous day. He happened to bump into Xiao Mei and Xiao Xuner in the hallway, who had come to wake him up.

Cousin Xiao Yan!

Upon seeing Xiao Yan, Xiao Mei immediately ran towards him with excitement. Xiao Yan didnt run away from her and petted his little sister with affection.

Good morning, Xiao Mei. Then he turned to Xiao Xuner. Good morning to you too, Xun Er.

Um, good morning, Big brother Xiao Yan.

Xiao Xuner smiled and nodded, then Xiao Yan pulled Xiao Mei out of his embrace and waved at the two girls.

I have something to do at the conference hall. Could you both ask for a day off on my behalf? I need to go shopping today.

Even without practical experience on the fighting skill, the three elders could clearly discern how frightening the Octadic Smash fighting skill was.

Yan-er, where did this fighting skill come from?

Xiao Zhan looked at Xiao Yan and asked in a serious tone.

The Octadic Smash is different from the combat skills that Xiao Yan contributed in the past. Even those at the level of a Da Dou Shi (Battle Grandmaster, 4th Realm) can greatly enhance their combat power after learning it.

As the saying goes, Like father, like son. Although Xiao Zhan has always been satisfied with Xiao Yan, he never thought that this combat skill could be created by his son.

Father, I went to meditate in the rear mountains last night and met a senior. Xiao Yan and that senior had a pleasant conversation, and the senior gave me this combat skill as a gift.

This

Xiao Zhan was somewhat surprised. He naturally believed his sons words, but he never expected that his son would have such a fortuitous encounter.

Son, did that senior tell you the level of this combat skill?

Xiao Zhan asked with a furrowed brow, and Xiao Yan clasped his fists and lowered his head.

Father, I apologize, as for this matter, i cannot say.

!!!!

As soon as this was said, the expressions of Xiao Zhan and the three elders changed suddenly.

It was not that Xiao Yan did not know about it, but rather, he could not say it.

This proved that Xiao Yan knew the level of this combat skill, but he could not tell them.

There could only be one reason for this: the level of this combat skill was a rare and precious treasure in the small city of Wutan. If outsiders knew about it, it would bring huge trouble to the Xiao Clan!

I understand. Xiao Zhan regained his composure and said softly, The matter of this combat skill, I will discuss with the three elders on how to handle it. You can go about your business.

Yes, Father.

Xiao Yan turned and left the conference hall. Seeing his departing figure, Xiao Zhan and the three elders remained speechless for a long time.

Although Xiao Yan had obtained such a rare and precious treasure, he could have kept it to himself without anyone knowing. Instead, he willingly contributed it for the use of his familys disciples.

This kind of broad-mindedness was truly rare.

It seems that even if Xiao Yan becomes the clan leader in the future, no one will feel dissatisfied, the three elders evaluated. Xiao Zhan looked at the scroll that the three elders had put aside on the table and smiled faintly.

No, Xiao Zhan picked up the scroll and said in a slow voice, I have a feeling that Yaner will not be willing to stay in the small Wutan City in the future.

His future will undoubtedly be even brighter than any of us!
