Chapter 336 Nalan Yanran's Self-Attack Strategy
Hearing someone calling her name directly, Nalan Yanran frowned her slender eyebrows, but after seeing clearly who was speaking, her brows instantly relaxed. She stood there in a daze, with disbelief in her eyes.
"Are you Brother Xiao Huohuo?" The soft voice asked, and Nalan Yanran rubbed her eyes in disbelief. It was true that the two had not seen each other for more than three years. As Xiao Se's body gradually matured, even with the same golden silkworm mask, his appearance changed a lot.
"It's me." Xiao Se nodded and said with a smile, "Miss Nalan, we meet again."
"It's you." Nalan Yanran's eyes lit up instantly, and she walked quickly to Xiao Se. Her voice was trembling slightly because she was too excited. After three years, she saw again the person who had attracted her deeply at the Alchemist Conference and had been thinking about her all the time. How could she not be excited?
"Why? It's been too long since we last met, can't you recognize her? Miss Nalan has become much more powerful in her cultivation and seems to have become more beautiful in the past three years." Subconsciously, Xiao Se said the words he used to flirt with girls.
His casual words instantly made the atmosphere in the room ambiguous.
Nalan Yanran's pretty face flushed, she avoided Xiao Se's gaze, played with her black hair with her slender hands, and said softly, "Thank you, thank you."
Seeing Nalan Yanran looking shy because of the compliments from the boy she secretly loves, Xiao Se's mouth twitched. As a veteran in the love field, how could he not know what Nalan Yanran was thinking? It's just that he hasn't dealt with Yun Yun yet, and if Nalan Yanran comes along, the harem will be in turmoil.
Mother and daughter, oh no, although the master-disciple meal is delicious, it also needs to be done step by step.
Besides, Nalan Yanran likes Xiao Huohuo, so what does it have to do with Xiao Se? Let's talk about it later.
Having made up his mind, Xiao Se cleared his throat guiltily and said seriously, "Ahem, Miss Nalan, I came to Yunlan Sect this time because I want to see Sect Master Yun."
"Do you want to see my teacher? My teacher is now in the back mountain of Yunlan Sect. I'll take you there." But she did not doubt what Xiao Se wanted to find Yun Yun for.
Xiao Se was a high-level alchemist, and her teacher Yun Yun was a well-known Douhuang strongman in the Jia Ma Empire. For Nalan Yanran, it was normal for the alchemist to pay the strongman to help do something within his ability.
Xiao Se nodded and walked into the gate of Yunlan Sect.
The distance from the mountain gate to the back mountain of Yunlan Sect is neither long nor short. Xiao Se, who could have arrived there in an instant, chose to walk because of Nalan Yan.
In fact, Nalan Yanran could fly. The ring that Xiao Se gave to Yun Yun more than a year ago contained a book of low-level flying fighting skills. Nalan Yanran had already successfully practiced it.
Nalan Yanran also knew that Xiao Se could fly. She chose to walk so that she could spend more time with Xiao Se.
"Brother Xiao Huohuo, can you tell Yanran where you have been for the past three years? Why haven't we heard from you for so long?" As the two walked side by side, Nalan Yanran asked with a smile.
"Oh, I went to the Black Horn Region for training." Xiao Se answered casually.
"Black Horn Region" Hearing this, Nalan Yanran was startled and then exclaimed: "I once heard from my teacher that it is a place where the strong prey on the weak. Even Dou Wang masters are at great risk of falling. Even Dou Huang's masters have fallen. Brother Xiao Huohuo can walk out of there, so his strength should have reached Dou Wang."
"I guess so." Xiao Se smiled without further explanation.
Nalan Yanran couldn't help but exclaim: "Brother Xiao Huohuo, you are an amazing talent. You are only twenty years old and you have become a Dou Wang. This has broken the record of the Jia Ma Empire for nearly a thousand years."
"It was just luck." Xiao Se waved his hand and skipped the previous topic. "Just now I saw Miss Nalan seemed to be leaving Yunlan Sect, is there something important?"
Nalan Yanran nodded, sighed, and said, "Two years ago, my grandfather was poisoned while trying to kill a fifth-level magical beast, the Iron Poison Seal Python. He has been devastated ever since. The poison is very strong and keeps eroding his fighting spirit in my grandfather's body. The Nalan family has invited many alchemists, but none of them can solve it. If one day my grandfather's fighting spirit disappears, I'm worried about him."
At this point, Nalan Yanran's bright eyes were already misty. She stopped, bowed slightly, nodded to Xiao Se, and said, "Brother Xiao Huohuo, Yanran has an unwelcome request."
"Save your grandfather?" Xiao Se did not show the slightest surprise.
To be honest, although he had a good impression of Nalan Yanran, he had no good feelings towards Nalan Jie at all.
If he were to ask who he hated the most in the entire Dou Po Cangqiong, it would be Nalan Jie. No one else, and his level of dislike was even greater than Xiao Yan's.
Xiao Yan only flirted but didn't marry her, while Nalan Jie was hypocritical and ungrateful.
Not to mention that Nalan Jie, for the sake of so-called face and family interests, arbitrarily arranged the marriage between Nalan Yanran and Xiao Yan.
In the original novel, Xiao Yan saved his life, but when Xiao Yan had a conflict with Yunlan Sect, he hoped that Xiao Yan would die in Yunlan Sect. Xiao Se disliked and despised such ungrateful and hypocritical people.
This was also the main reason why he did not agree when Nalan Yanran came to ask Yafei to find him more than a year ago.
Nalan Yanran said solemnly: "Well, Grandpa Dan Wang Guhe once said that only an alchemist who possesses the strange fire can inject the strange fire into Grandpa's body to dispel the branding poison. Looking at the entire Jia Ma Empire, you, big brother Xiao Huohuo, are the only one who possesses the strange fire. If Big Brother Xiao Huohuo is willing to rescue Grandpa, the Nalan family is willing to contribute all the treasures. If you can save Grandpa, Yanran is willing to do it with her body." Nalan Yanran recited the last sentence silently in her heart.
"To be honest, I don't like your grandfather. He's too obsessed with face and so hypocritical." Xiao Se sighed and took a step forward. After a moment, he stopped again. He didn't look back. With his back to Nalan Yanran, he slowly said, "However, for the sake of you and your teacher, I will help him get rid of the branding poison."
"Brother Xiao Huohuo, have you agreed?" Xiao Se's first words almost made Nalan Yanran's heart drop to the bottom. The second part made her overjoyed, and she regretted not saying the last sentence.
Xiao Se raised his right hand slightly in response.
"Although I don't know why Brother Xiao Huohuo hates Grandpa, he still agreed because of my relationship with the teacher even though he hated Grandpa. Does he like me? Yes, he must like me. Otherwise, he wouldn't save someone he hates." This thought flashed through her mind quickly, and Xiao Se's figure was infinitely magnified in Nalan Yanran's eyes, and she quickly followed him.
"Brother Xiao Huohuo, wait for me"
