"Are you busy?"
"Tomorrow, take Qing Lin and go to Stone Desert City's Eastern Suburbs together. You will know then."
Yao Wan spoke immediately, his serious look did not look like he was faking it.
Although Xiao Yan doesn't know what Wan Guniang is thinking, he also knows that since Wan Guniang said this, it must be an extremely important matter.
It was not easy for him to shirk the blame, so he just nodded silently, and it was not easy for him to mention the gift just now.
"Okay, it's getting late. Xiao Yan, you should go and rest first. You will have to work a lot tomorrow."
"Well, Wan Guniang also have a good rest."
Xiao Yan once again glanced at the Small Wooden Figure that he had carefully carved, and then turned around and left Yao Wan's room.
Seeing that Xiao Yan finally left, Yao Wan also breathed a sigh of relief.
"... Finally left."
She couldn't help but sigh. Although she had been with Xiao Yan for a long time, she was really not used to dealing with this kind of situation.
After Xiao Yan left, she couldn't help but pick up the small wooden carving casually placed by the table again.
The figure of her carved by Xiao Yan is somewhat different from what she thought she looked like.
Due to her body shape, even if she put on a cloak, her body could not hold up the large cloak. Therefore, the figure revealed could still be recognized as a slim woman.
Delicate fingertips gently brushed the slightly rough surface of the wood carving. Yao Wan couldn't help complaining. With such meticulous carving, could he have been looking at him like this in the first place?
... Tsk.
Yao Wan couldn't help but have a blush on his face, and he quickly drove this unrealistic thought out of his mind.
"That girl doesn't seem to appreciate it very much."
When Xiao Yan left Yao Wan's residence, Yao Lao couldn't help but say.
"No, Wan Guniang, don't you like that?"
Xiao Yan replied.
"Teacher, it's not like you don't know what kind of temper Wan Guniang is. It's definitely impossible to expect to see how happy she is after accepting the gift."
A soft smile appeared at the corner of Xiao Yan's mouth, and he said, "As long as she likes it, that's fine. As for the rest, isn't there a long way to go anyway?"
"After all, the teacher also said that everything cannot be accomplished overnight. There is nothing we can do about it."
Yao Lao was silent for a moment, and then couldn't help but said, "You learn very quickly."
"Ah? Where is it? Apply what you have learned, apply what you have learned, hey hey hey."
Xiao Yan was so praised by Yao Lao that he couldn't help but smile and wave his hands.
"You brat, give you some sunshine and you'll be happy."
Yao Lao laughed dumbly.
The next day, Xiao Yan and Qing Lin went to investigate what Yao Wan mentioned.
Hai Bodong couldn't help but be a little stunned when he heard about this, and then turned his attention to Yao Wan beside him.
"Just letting them take a look."
Yao Wan took a sip of tea and said casually.
"As for the things in there, they are probably gone, right?"
"Since Heavenly Flames is gone, why do you want him to do it?"
Hai Bodong said doubtfully.
"Heavenly Flames is gone, but it doesn't mean there are no other good things."
Yao Wan shrugged and said, "Anyway, my hard work won't be in vain."
"Okay, by chance, I have to go out for something... Old Hai Are you interested in coming with me?"
Yao Wan asked with a smile.
"Huh?"
Hai Bodong was startled. It was no small matter to keep this girl busy for a while.
Seemingly seeing what Hai Bodong was thinking, Yao Wan laughed dumbly, "It's not a particularly important thing. Old Hai doesn't need to be nervous."
"Well, I happen to have nothing to do, so I'll go and have a look with you."
Hai Bodong sighed and was ready to do hard work.
"No, no, no, Old Hai doesn't need to take action in what happens next. Old Hai can just go and watch the fun."
With that said, Yao Wan walked out of the door.
Immediately, she found Xiao Ding and Xiao Li and asked about Stone Desert City and its surroundings.
"Two captains, please forgive me for disturbing your official duties."
Since Yao Wan already had something serious to do, it was naturally impossible for Yao Wan to still behave so shyly. The beauty that the two brothers had seen before was polite and a bit shy, but now she was generous and spoke in a measured manner, which made the two of them stunned.
"Wan Guniang You're welcome, but it's just what I've seen and heard around me. Anyone can tell me clearly."
"Having said that, I still have to repay the kindness of the two captains for taking me in."
Yao Wan chuckled, then swept his bare hands across the table in front of him, and several small white jade bottles appeared on the spacious table.
"These are the Shi Ling Pill I have refined. They can ensure that the two captains will be promoted to the Da Dou Shi and Dou Ling realms in the shortest possible time. In addition, there are also some elixirs for Dou Zhe to assist in their cultivation. Please accept them."
In the eyes of the two brothers Xiao Clan, which gradually changed, Yao Wan always had a smile on his face, as if he had already anticipated their reactions.
Xiao Ding and Xiao Li looked at each other in astonishment, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes.
"No, no, this gift is too valuable. Please take it back, girl. What we have done is just a small effort and we cannot afford such a big gift."
Xiao Ding said quickly after reacting.
"What are the two captains talking about? They are Xiao Yan's brothers. Xiao Yan and I are friends after all. How can we stand idly by?"
"You don't know about the other two, right? I know a little bit about refining medicine, so this little gift is nothing."
Yao Wan had already guessed the other party's reaction, so naturally he was already prepared for the answer, and said with a smile.
"This..."
Xiao Ding smiled bitterly, and then couldn't help but look at each other with his brother.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Yanzi found a rich woman who is an alchemist.
"Since Wan Guniang said so, I will accept it. If necessary in the future, our brothers will definitely help."
Even though we know that we will become a family sooner or later, we must still have the proper etiquette. Xiao Ding cupped his hands and said.
"Xiao Ding, you're welcome, Captain. If I have to tell you what I want you to do, it's easy to say."
Yao Wan said, "As for today's thank you gift, I also ask the two captains to keep Xiao Yan a secret and just pretend that there is no such thing."
"Why is this?"
"There's no particular reason. I just don't want him to feel that he owes me too much..."
With that said, Yao Wan stood up from his seat.
"Okay, I still have things to do, so I won't spend more time with you."
After Xiao Ding and Xiao Li delivered Yao Wan to the door, they flew away towards the east together with Hai Bodong.
Looking at the cyan contrail left in the sky, Xiao Ding couldn't help but sigh.
"Xiao Yanzi really found a good brother and sister."
"Brother, where is Xiao Yanzi...?"
"We have received benefits from others, so we can't turn around and break the contract, right?"
Xiao Ding smiled bitterly, "It's better to hide it for now."
