Chapter 119 Nalan Yanran's Invitation
"Haha... I've slapped that old guy Holden in the face. Now I'm starting to like this little guy." On the VIP stand, Jia Xingtian looked at Xiao Se's actions and laughed out loud without any concealment.
"Haha. It seems like my worries were in vain." Fama let out a long sigh, touched his chest, and laughed excitedly.
"What a trustworthy little guy." Seeing that Xiao Se not only did not fail like the others but was the first to succeed in making the pill, Ya Fei smiled slightly and couldn't help but sigh.
"He is indeed trustworthy. It's as if everything is under his control from beginning to end, which makes me feel at ease." Looking at the young man beside the light column in the field with the same gentle eyes, Nalan Yanran smiled and continued.
Although it was only the second round, Xiao Se's level of alchemy skills was ahead of the other contestants, including the gray-robed boy who was suspected to be a fifth-grade alchemist.
Yao Ye, who was sitting aside, heard the praises of Ya Fei and Nalan Yanran. He couldn't help but turn his head in surprise to look at the two girls who were looking at Xiao Se intently. In Ya Fei's eyes, Yao Ye saw a hint of love, and Nalan Yanran also seemed to tend to change in this direction.
"He's a guy who attracts girls!" Looking at Xiao Se again, Yao Ye raised her red lips slightly and said secretly in her heart.
On the other side, the young man in a gray robe was almost furious at this moment. He was the president of the Alchemist Guild of the Izumo Empire, but he was slapped in the face by a little guy who hadn't even grown any hair yet.
The damage is not great, but it is extremely insulting.
Putting the refined Fengxing Pill into the bronze mirror, the gray-robed boy looked at Xiao Se with a gloomy face and said coldly: "Boy, when the final comes tomorrow, I will never hold back."
"Then I'll wait." Facing the threat from the gray-robed boy, Xiao Se seemed unconcerned. He shrugged slightly, stood there with his eyes closed, and quietly waited for the end of the competition.
Time passed slowly. Half an hour later, after Xiao Se and the gray-robed boy, Liu Ling finally succeeded in refining the elixir. Then, other alchemists who had been reminded by Xiao Se also passed the test one after another.
When the test was over, the sky gradually darkened and the sunset in the west illuminated the entire square red.
"Everyone, today's competition is over. Go back and have a good rest. Tomorrow is the final round and also the championship. So, I hope you will not miss it for various reasons, otherwise you will regret it for the rest of your life." Standing on the edge of the platform, Fama laughed loudly.
Fama announced the end of the competition, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Xiao Se didn't care, but two consecutive high-intensity competitions made most of the alchemists, whose cultivation was at the fighting master level, exhausted and looked tired.
When Xiao Se packed up his things and prepared to leave the square, the gray-robed young man gave Xiao Se a cold and unfriendly look, and before leaving he did not forget to wipe his neck.
As for Liu Ling, he seemed to have suffered some setbacks in the second round of the competition. He no longer sneered at Xiao Se and left in a huff.
Under the passionate gazes of countless young men and women, Xiao Se followed the crowd out of the square and took a deep breath of fresh air. Just as he was about to return to his residence, a clear and pleasant voice sounded behind him, "Mr. Xiao Huohuo, please wait a moment."
Turning around, Xiao Se saw a large group of people pouring out of the square. At the front of the crowd, three beauties, Nalan Yanran, Yafei, and Yaoye, walked slowly, attracting everyone's attention. Behind them, Nalan Jie and Mitel Tengshan followed closely behind, also chatting and laughing with each other.
Hearing that it was Nalan Yanran's voice, Xiao Se looked at Nalan Yanran and asked calmly, "What's the matter, Miss Nalan?"
Nalan Yanran smiled softly, holding the hands of Yafei and Yaoye, smiled slightly, and said to Xiaose, "Princess Yaoye will set up a dinner for you and Liu Ling in the palace later, I don't know."
"Uh, another banquet." Xiao Se's mouth twitched slightly and he held his forehead helplessly.
Seeing that Xiao Se seemed to want to refuse, Nalan Yanran's face turned pale and she said anxiously: "My teacher will also be there tonight. She is a Douhuang strongman, and Mr. Xiao Huohuo is not only good at refining medicine but also has excellent fighting ability. You can let her teach you fighting skills then."
"Sect Master Yun?" Hearing this, Xiao Se was slightly stunned, then shook his head and said, "Sorry, I'm really tired today. I still need to prepare for tomorrow's game, so I won't bother you anymore."
After saying that, Xiao Se looked at Ya Fei deeply, then bowed slightly to the three people, and turned away from the stunned eyes of the crowd. In the current situation, even if Xiao Se went to see Yun Yun, he would only face the high and mighty Yun Zongzhu, which was not very interesting at all. He liked Yun Zhi who was gentle as water in the future and acted like a little woman in front of the person she liked. Besides, with the Chuyun Empire making trouble tonight, it might be quite lively.
Xiao Se and Ya Fei sat together in the carriage of Miter Auction House.
At this moment, Yafei was looking at Xiao Se with a smile, nodding from time to time. Ever since the two of them broke the window paper yesterday, there has been less restraint between them.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Xiao Se asked with a chuckle, sniffing the faint fragrance emanating from Ya Fei.
Ya Fei smiled and shook her head, saying, "I thought you would agree just now. Let's not talk about Nalan Yanran and Yao Ye. The leader of the Yunyun Sect is not only a Douhuang strongman but also a super beauty. Aren't you tempted?"
Hearing this, Xiao Se raised the corner of his mouth slightly, took off his mask casually, and said with a sly smile: "Why are you jealous?"
"Bah, you are so frivolous. Who would be jealous of you?" Upon hearing this, Ya Fei's pretty face turned slightly red and she said in a low voice.
His eyes swept across Yafei's charming cheeks and finally stopped on her alluring red lips. Recalling their kiss in the pavilion yesterday, Xiao Se's mouth suddenly revealed a slight smile.
Being stared at like that by Xiao Se, Ya Fei had no idea what he was thinking. Her pretty face flushed even more and she said timidly, "Don't mess around, or I'll yell at you, sister."
"Sister Yafei should be attending the dinner party held by the royal family tonight." Xiao Se smiled and shook his head, skipping the topic. Last night was an accident. If he kissed Yafei in front of Long Kui, even if she was willing, it would not have a good impact.
"Hmm." Xiao Se's sudden seriousness made Yafei feel a little disappointed, and she nodded immediately.
Xiao Se said solemnly: "If nothing unexpected happens, the Izumo Empire will make some small moves tonight. You will be in danger if you go there. It is safest to stay in the Mittel family."
"Izumo Empire?" Ya Fei was slightly startled, then looked up and said in surprise: "Now there are four Douhuang masters in Jiama Holy City, how dare they..."
