Chapter 342: The Eve of the Three-Year Agreement
In the room, Xiao Se and Yun Yun were a little surprised when they heard Ya Fei's story.
"Why did that old guy look for you?" Yun Yun asked with some confusion.
Xiao Se smiled faintly and said, "What else can I do? Over the past year or so, with Xiao Yan's trouble-making personality, the old man must have cleaned up a lot of messes for Xiao Yan. His soul power has been exhausted. I guess he either wants to get a Rong Ling Pill from me or wants me to protect his disciple's safety within the three-year agreement."
"That's shameless." Yun Yun found it a little funny.
The other party is Xiao Yan's teacher, who has been secretly observing the Xiao family since he was a child. It is impossible for him not to know that Xiao Se has no good feelings towards the Xiao family.
Asking Xiao Se to protect the son of the Xiao family's patriarch? He must have been kicked in the head by a donkey. Besides, her Yunlan Sect was not a place full of swords and fire, so she would not attack an unknown junior.
Furthermore, how much confidence does this old man have in Xiao Yan?
He even thought of the situation where Yunlan Sect would be angry and humiliated after Nalan Yanran lost.
Not to mention that there was an insurmountable gap between Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran in terms of cultivation and technique level, and even their close combat abilities were not much better. More than a year ago, Xiao Se told Yun Yun in the Monster Mountain Range that Xiao Yan had a powerful soul who was a Dou Zun in his previous life. After that, he took Nalan Yanran to practice every day.
Now Nalan Yanran can obtain strength far beyond the original work, in addition to the help of Xiao Se's elixir, it is inseparable from Yun Yun's "love". Otherwise, it would be useless to have only cultivation but poor performance in actual combat.
"You can't say that. The old man also knows that I won't release the eagle until I see the rabbit. Since he dared to let Xiao Yan come, he must have something in his hand that is worth my attention. Bufan should go and take a look first." Xiao Se smiled, put his hands on Yun Yun and Ya Fei's shoulders, and said with a smile: "Yun'er, Fei'er, come on, your husband will take you to see this so-called number one alchemist on the continent."
"Then I would like to thank my husband." Hearing Xiao Se calling himself husband in front of her and Yun Yun, Ya Fei felt a warm feeling in her heart. Among Xiao Se's many girlfriends, her cultivation talent was the worst. The others were either powerful men or rare young geniuses. She was very happy to be treated equally.
Compared to the happy Ya Fei, Yun Yun was not so happy. Although she was indifferent by nature and did not like worldly constraints, she had been in a high position for many years. She still felt very uncomfortable that a little girl who she had never taken seriously suddenly put herself on the same level as her and shared her beloved man with her.
However, she was also very curious about what the soul of this powerful Dou Zun master looked like in his previous life, so she did not refuse.
After a while, Xiao Se hugged Ya Fei and Yun Yun on both sides and came to reception room No. 11 where Xiao Yan was.
As soon as he entered, he saw Xiao Yan sitting cross-legged on the ground practicing. Xiao Yan was also awakened by the footsteps of Xiao Se and the other two.
When Xiao Yan saw a beautiful woman with a graceful and noble temperament beside Xiao Se, a strange look flashed across his eyes, and the long-lost sadness surged in his heart again.
Xiao Yan had seen the beautiful woman in front of him before in the World of Warcraft Mountain Range. She was the female Dou Huang who had lost the battle with the Amethyst Winged Lion King and was rescued by Xiao Se.
"Okay, call your teacher out." Xiao Se glanced at Xiao Yan casually, waved his right hand, and the door of the room closed automatically, and said impatiently.
"Again, such a disdainful look and such a tone..." Xiao Yan's eyes were about to burst, and he resisted the urge to take action. He looked at Ya Fei, then at Yun Yun, and said indifferently: "It's not convenient here."
"What's convenient or not? They are all my women." Xiao Se was no longer polite. He stretched out his hand and sucked. The black ring in Xiao Yan's hand flew out automatically and fell into his hand. He released his soul power to detect it and found that the soul fluctuations inside were very weak as if they would dissipate at any time. Then he smiled jokingly and said, "I was wondering why you came here shamelessly. It turns out that this old man has fallen asleep again. I guess you have been borrowing his power to play tricks all the way, or you borrowed his power whenever there was a problem, and never thought about solving it yourself, so you drained his soul power."
Xiao Yan lowered his head in silence and did not answer. At this moment, he only hated himself for being so weak. If he had the strength of a Dou Zong, how could Xiao Se dare to tease him?
"Okay, okay, I don't want to bother with your business. Tell me, what did your teacher say to you before he fell asleep? Why are you here?" Xiao Se waved his hand and said indifferently.
"I'll make a deal with you. In three years, you'll protect me and help me get down from Yunlan Mountain safely. Before the three-year agreement, he'll teach you how to make medicine." Xiao Yan clenched his fists tightly, still not looking up. His bangs drooped, his eyes covered by shadows. If possible, he never wanted to beg the man in front of him again.
"You two, master and disciple, have a good plan. He taught me alchemy three years ago. Before that, I have to spend money on elixirs to restore his soul power. Then, with his help, it won't be a big deal even if I regret it." Xiao Se played with the ancient black ring in his hand, with a sneer on his face.
"Xiao Se, you are also a member of the Xiao family, are you so hard-hearted? If I lose the three-year agreement, the entire Xiao family will lose all face." Xiao Yan asked with bloodshot eyes.
"No, don't get me wrong. I have never admitted that I am a member of the Xiao family, at least not the Xiao family of Wutan City." Xiao Se waved his hand and said jokingly, "As for the so-called Xiao family's face, if I remember correctly, this so-called three-year agreement was made by you. It was obvious that Nalan Yanran had already planned to break off the engagement with your father Xiao Zhan in private and peacefully, but you insisted on being self-righteous and making it known in public. Even if you lose face, it is you and your son who lose face. No, to be precise, you and your son never knew what face is."
"Go away. I am indeed very interested in Yao Lao's alchemy skills. For Yao Lao's sake, I will protect your life within the three-year agreement. Come back to get this ring the day before the three-year agreement."
As he spoke, Xiao Se waved his sleeves and Xiao Yan flew directly out of the window.
"Xiao Se, are you just going to let this kid go like this? I can see that he is jealous of you to the point of going crazy, and he wants to take your life." Ya Fei walked to the window and looked at Xiao Yan, who was limping out of the crowd on the street and was being watched by everyone. She tilted her head and asked Xiao Se in confusion.
"Don't worry about him, he is still useful for the time being. Come and take a look at this former 'No. 1 Alchemist on the Continent', Yao Zun Master Yao Chen." Xiao Se casually took out a Lingling Pill from his storage ring. Under the catalysis of fighting spirit, the soul energy contained in the pill slowly flowed into the black storage ring. The storage ring floated in the air and burst into a bright white light.
After a moment, the strong light dissipated, and the black ring fell to the ground.
"What's happening to Xiao Se?" Ya Fei walked up to Xiao Se, took his hand, and asked in surprise.
Xiao Se gently stroked Ya Fei's slender hand, gave her a reassuring smile, and then said to the black ring on the ground: "Yao Lao, I know you are awake. If you don't come out, I will throw you into the toilet."
"You guys don't respect the elderly at all."
A ray of white light floated out from the pitch-black ring, fell on the ground beside it, and turned into the familiar figure of Yao Lao.
"Okay, okay, don't be too cautious. This is Yafei, you should know her. I can't tell you the identity of the other one for now but don't worry, she is also my woman, and I won't reveal you." Xiao Se shrugged slightly.
Yao Lao glanced at Ya Fei and Yun Yun. When he saw that Yun Yun was the female Dou Huang that Xiao Se had rescued, he couldn't help but smile obscenely: "Little friend Xiao Se is lucky!"
Originally, he wanted Xiao Yan to rescue Yun Yun, and then take her down in one fell swoop while her Dou Qi was sealed by the Amethyst Winged Lion King. With the help of a Dou Huang powerhouse, Xiao Yan could avoid many detours on his growth path.
Unfortunately, he was intercepted by Xiao Se who suddenly appeared.
As expected, Xiao Se turned her into his woman.
All this was within Yao Lao's expectations.
"Of course." Hearing what Yao Lao said, Xiao Se readily admitted it. Without further ado, he got straight to the point. "Xiao Yan told me about the deal you proposed. I sent him away and will return you to him the day before the three-year agreement. When do you plan to start teaching me to be a pharmacist?"
"Anytime is fine. I'm also curious about what level your alchemy skills have reached." With the perception of his powerful soul power, Yao Lao naturally sensed Xiao Yan wandering outside the headquarters of the Mitel Auction House. After confirming that the other party was safe, he replied.
"That's good." Xiao Se turned his head to look at Ya Fei: "Fei'er, go and arrange a quiet room for me."
"Leave it to me." Yafei turned and walked out of Reception Room No. 11.
"Yun'er." Xiao Se looked at Yun Yun tenderly.
"I'm going back." Hearing that Xiao Se seemed to be going into seclusion, Yun Yun, who had not yet come out of the confusion of Xiao Se's love affair, pouted her lips, turned around, and was about to leave.
Xiao Se shook his head, put Yao Lao's soul into the black storage ring, and then threw the ring into the system warehouse. Finally, under Yun Yun's astonished gaze, he took her into his arms.
"What are you doing?" Yun Yun's cheeks flushed and her eyes avoided.
"That old man is no longer here. What do you think I want to do?" Xiao Se looked at Yun Yun with a smile, his eyes burning with passion.
"Don't do anything rash." Feeling the hot breath from Xiao Se's mouth, Yun Yun's breathing suddenly accelerated. Before she could finish her words, Xiao Se blocked her mouth.
The vast sea shield appeared out of thin air, covering Xiao Se and Yun Yun. The fierce battle began, and the beautiful music in it was destined to be unheard.
The next morning, Yun Yun changed her clothes and flew to Yunlan Sect.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is the night before the three-year appointment.
In a spacious and bright room somewhere in the Mittel Auction House.
Yao Lao looked at the pill gradually taking shape in the Ten Thousand Beast Cauldron in front of Xiao Se in amazement and exclaimed: "A genius, a real genius, your fire control skills are no less than mine. I believe that as long as the opportunity is right, your promotion to an eighth-grade alchemist is just around the corner."
"Thank you for the praise, Master Yao. It's all thanks to your guidance." Xiao Se smiled slightly. During this period, he had benefited a lot from Master Yao's guidance. Not only did he solve all the problems he had encountered in alchemy before, but he also learned all kinds of wonderful alchemy techniques from Master Yao.
"Alas, I am just the icing on the cake. Even without me, you will be able to take this step sooner or later. It's just a matter of time." Yao Lao said, "But then again, you have grown up so far with only the memories left by a sixth-grade alchemist. This is really beyond my expectations. I thought you worshipped a powerful alchemist in Zhongzhou as your master."
"I would like to worship, but the problem is that no one wants to accept it." Xiao Se shrugged slightly.
"Then what do you think of me?" Yao Lao pointed at himself.
"As for you." Xiao Se pondered for a moment, and said solemnly: "Whether it's alchemy or other things, there are indeed few people in the entire Douqi Continent who are more suitable to be a master than you, but I still say the same thing, are you willing to give up Xiao Yan? If you are willing, I promise to refine a brand new body for you within a year."
"There is no unsolvable conflict between you and Xiao Yan. You are from the same family. Can't you reconcile?" Yao Lao was still unwilling to give up Xiao Yan.
"Let's not talk about the fact that Xiao Yan hates me to the core because of jealousy. Let's take you, if your parents sacrificed themselves for the family, and their bodies are still warm, are you willing to forgive those 'so-called clan members' who slandered your parents and drove you out of the family?" Xiao Se asked instead of answering.
Hearing this, Yao Lao fell silent. A complex look flashed across his turbid old eyes. Xiao Se's situation was very similar to his. Even his parents were worse off. After their death, not even their names were left on the ancestral hall stele.
Xiao Se continued, "Unfortunately, Xiao Yan's father was one of the indirect persecutors. He acquiesced to the Xiao family's actions. He is even more despicable than those people. At this point, I have done my best by not taking revenge on the Xiao family. Do you think I will play the 'family abuses me in a thousand ways, but I treat them like my first love' drama and kneel to lick the Xiao family like a dog?"
"Alas, I hope that you and Xiao Yan will not become enemies in the future." Yao Lao sighed helplessly, turned around, and controlled the black storage ring to float out of the window, turned into a stream of light, and flew rapidly to a dark alley outside the Mitel Auction House, where his disciples were waiting for him.
"Don't worry, that won't happen, because he is not worthy of being my enemy." Looking at the place where Yao Lao disappeared, Xiao Se's eyes flashed with a strange color, and he murmured in a low voice.
