Even so, is that Zhang Kaitao actually unrelated to Master Han, just a poor guy who was dragged out?
The more they thought about it, the more terrified they felt.
Su Yun looked at their expressions and felt it was about time to wrap up the mental imagery and get down to business.
"Chief Xiao."
"Here, what is it, Master Han?"
Xiao Zhan came to his senses and responded quickly.
"Before, did you mention that you have two sons adventuring in the Tagore Desert?"
Su Yun asked Xiao Zhan.
"Yes, I have two children adventuring in the Tagore Desert.
They founded a mercenary group called Mo Tie there and made some reputation."
Xiao Zhan nodded. When Master Han visited his Xiao Family, he had mentioned it in passing.
Su Yun smiled inwardly.
He had stayed in Wutan City long enough. It was time to go out and take a look.
In half a year at most, he would break through to the Dou Spirit level, which would be sufficient for his plan regarding the Green Lotus Heart Fire.
It was time to end the idle chess set up by the Xiao Family.
"I received news from the sect.
In half a year, there will be a genius going to the Tagore Desert for training.
Since your two children are also there, it wouldn't hurt for them to pay attention and establish a relationship with him, which would benefit them as well."
Su Yun pretended to ponder for a moment, presenting a benevolent facade as he spoke to Xiao Zhan.
Hmm!
Xiao Zhan was shocked. Master Han actually belonged to a certain power!
This was something they had never imagined.
Previously, they had even hoped to keep Master Han in the Xiao Family as a guest elder, but it seemed impossible now.
With a sigh, Xiao Zhan thought of what Su Yun had just said and asked, "Is this genius from your sect? Is he your disciple?"
"My disciple?"
Su Yun pretended to be puzzled and smiled bitterly.
"I wish! I'm not qualified to teach him."
At these words, all four members of the Xiao Family present widened their eyes.
Not qualified to teach him?
This simple sentence contained huge implications.
Han Li, a Grade Four Alchemist, was already an unattainable figure for them.
Now he actually said he couldn't teach a young man?
The identity and talent of this person were terrifying!
Su Yun seemed to sense their astonishment and smiled bitterly.
"Hehe, I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. I'm just an outer sect steward in the sect, with very low status.
If it weren't for the elder's recommendation, I wouldn't even qualify to enter the sect."
The four of them felt dizzy for a moment, feeling like their worldviews had been overturned.
In the Agam Empire, Grade Four Alchemists were honored guests wherever they went.
Now he claimed to be just an outer sect steward... and if it weren't for the elder's help, he wouldn't have even been able to join the sect?
What a terrifying force!
"Enough, let's not dwell on the past. I didn't say all this to make you listen to my jokes."
Xiao Zhan and the others hurriedly said they dared not.
Su Yun waved his hand, indicating he wasn't bothered, and continued the previous topic.
"That genius has quite a reputation within the sect.
His talent is extremely high, beyond comparison with someone like me. Even if he just offers a bit of help, it will benefit them for a lifetime."
Xiao Zhan had a premonition that this might be a great opportunity for his two children!
"Master Han, could you reveal some information about this genius?"
Thinking of this, Xiao Zhan quickly asked.
"Of course, I intended to do so."
Su Yun smiled knowingly.
The fish had taken the bait.
"This person is named Zhang Xiaofan, very young, not even sixteen this year.
He wields a black short staff, his appearance is ordinary but handsome, quite recognizable.
As for his cultivation realm... well,
Ah, the cultivation of geniuses varies from day to day. Over the years, he has advanced at least one major realm higher than you guys."
Su Yun pondered carefully and finally said.
The four looked at each other, seeing the shock in each other's eyes.
Not yet sixteen, but already a realm higher than them?!
A Dou Spirit expert!
A fifteen-year-old Dou Spirit expert!
"Alright, put away those naive expressions. The standard for geniuses within the sect is just that low."
Su Yun showed disdain, as if looking at country bumpkins.
The four looked embarrassed and adjusted their expressions.
"That's all for now. Whether your two children can seize the opportunity and make connections with him is up to them.
I've already revealed so much, which violates the sect's rules."
Xiao Zhan hurriedly thanked him, feeling somewhat ashamed.
Master Han had done so much for their Xiao Family that they didn't even know how to repay him.
"Speaking of which, if Xiao Yan hadn't caused trouble, I could have even recommended him to enter the sect. It's a pity."
As he spoke, Su Yun's face showed a trace of regret.
Xiao Zhan's expression also dimmed. Xiao Yan's matter was his eternal regret.
"Have you decided what elixir you want me to refine?
I'll be leaving Wutan City in a month, so decide quickly."
Su Yun said to the four.
The four were somewhat stunned. Master Han was leaving?
Su Yun glanced at them and continued.
"The sect also has its rules. I've been out for so long this time, it's time for me to go back.
If it weren't for Xiao Yan, I would have left long ago."
"Because of Yan'er?"
Xiao Zhan was puzzled.
"The sect has rules. If one becomes a fighter before the age of twelve, they can directly enter the inner sect.
When Xiao Yan broke through as a fighter at the age of eleven, I reported to the sect. I intended to bring him into the sect, but just two months later, Xiao Yan's Dou Qi began to dissipate.
I pleaded with the sect, and they ordered me to wait another year. If his talent recovered, he could still enter the outer sect for cultivation.
But this year has passed...
Originally, I only applied for a year's leave from the sect. Later, because of Xiao Yan's delay until today, and now his talent still hasn't recovered, I must leave.
As an outer sect steward, it's my duty to travel the continent, find good talents, and contribute fresh blood to the sect.
If Xiao Yan could have been brought into the sect by me, I could also have received rewards from the sect."
Su Yun shook his head and explained the whole situation.
So that's how it is.
A glimmer of understanding flashed in the eyes of the four.
No wonder Master Han had worked so hard to help the Xiao Family and Xiao Yan. Apart from repaying kindness, there was also this layer of reason.
At this moment, the elder couldn't help but speak up.
"Master Han, I wonder if my granddaughter, Xiao Yu, can enter the outer sect?"
The requirements for entering the inner sect were strict. Were they more lenient for the outer sect?
Su Yun pretended to frown.
"Your
granddaughter?"
"The girl who served you tea and water before."
Xiao Zhan said.
"Oh, her."
Su Yun suddenly realized.
The elder's face showed a glimmer of expectation.
"It's impossible."
Su Yun said flatly.
The elder's face froze.
"Even for the outer sect, it's impossible to relax the requirements to such an extent.
Outer sect disciples need to reach the Fighter level before the age of fifteen. Although your granddaughter is fifteen or sixteen, she's only at the eighth stage of Dou Qi, too far behind."
