And while Yao Wan and Ya Fei were going to Mittel Auction House Headquarters, Xiao Yan and Xiao Zhan, who were in the small courtyard, also inadvertently mentioned things about Nalan Yanran after chatting with them.
"...Yan'er, actually."
Xiao Zhan sighed, then looked at his son with complicated eyes and said, "When I first arrived in the imperial capital today, I happened to meet Nalan Yanran."
"——It happened by chance? Didn't she bump into her father on purpose?"
Of course Xiao Yan knows everything, but for some reason, Xiao Yan can't help but ask such a question.
Xiao Zhan shook his head slightly and said, "I have thought about it too... But I feel that for a proud and arrogant person like her, I am afraid that she would not have any deliberate thoughts to get close to her enemy's father... Even if the enemy's father was still maintaining the weak relationship between the two families three years ago."
Xiao Yan pondered for a moment and felt that his father's words were reasonable.
"All in all, that little girl Nalan Family seems to have changed a lot. She is a completely different person than she was three years ago."
Xiao Zhan explained, "She first talked to me about some past events between the two families, and later she apologized to me after sending me here... As a father, I am not too angry with her, let alone resentment, but this is ultimately a conflict between the two of you. Whether it is a family or a sect, these external identities cannot replace your essence."
"Whether you need to forgive her in the end...Yan'er, it all depends on you, and I won't say more."
Xiao Zhan's attitude of completely trusting him naturally moved Xiao Yan: "Father..."
The emotion didn't last long, but while being moved, Xiao Yan gradually discovered something strange in his father's words.
Was it Nalan Yanran who brought his father to his residence?
No, Nalan Yanran only knows Yan Xiao. Logically speaking, he shouldn't even know that he arrived in the imperial capital.
The more I thought about it, the more Xiao Yan felt something was wrong - what on earth is going on? Has his whereabouts been exposed?
Or is he under Nalan Yanran's surveillance from the beginning?
As for Ya Fei - Xiao Yan also feels that with her smooth way of dealing with people, she will definitely not bring someone who has clearly had a problem with her casually.
Either Nalan Yanran can know him without Ya Fei and knows where he currently lives, or there is something between Ya Fei and Nalan Yanran that he doesn't know about.
But no matter which one it is, Xiao Yan just feels that there are more and more puzzles and questions in front of him.
Putting aside everything else, Nalan Yanran must have the biggest problem - in this case, do you want to test it?
While this thought came to his mind, Xiao Yan couldn't help but look up at the red clouds above his head, which were already dyed red by the afterglow of the sunset. Night was approaching.
Forget it... isn't there another chance to detoxify Nalan Jie tomorrow? You can try to make good use of it.
After gradually forming a plan in his heart, Xiao Yan is going to go to the Nalan Family to detoxify Nalan Jie tomorrow, and then find Nalan Yanran to verify his guess.
If the first touch was just an illusion, and the second touch was just an accident, then what about the third and fourth accidents?
How can this be explained?
Perhaps this can only be learned from Nalan Yanran himself.
The next day, Xiao Yan put on the mask and immediately walked into Nalan Residence.
When Nalan Residence's servants saw that it was Mister Yan Xiao who could cure the master's illness and detoxify him, they naturally welcomed him respectfully.
In the past few days, he has also become familiar with Nalan Residence. Even if some Nalan Family clan members pass by, they will say hello to Xiao Yan.
Not long after he entered Nalan Family's courtyard, Xiao Yan saw a figure walking quickly towards him.
"Mister Yan Xiao Thank you for your hard work - please."
The person who came was none other than Nalan Yanran's father, Nalan Su. As he spoke, without any more polite words, he led Xiao Yan inside.
Under the mask, Xiao Yan's eyes were incomprehensible, and he suddenly said, "I wonder where Miss Nalan is?"
Nalan Su couldn't stand his steps after hearing this. He turned back and glanced at Xiao Yan in astonishment, feeling confused.
Could it be that Yan Xiao really likes Yan Ran?
Nalan Su shook his head and said, "Yan Ran is not at home today, but at the banquet hosted by Old Family Head tomorrow, Yan Ran will be there... Mister Yan Xiao, as my benefactor, Nalan Family, please thank me for your honor at this banquet."
"Hey, it's nothing. I just accidentally saw that Miss Nalan was not there, so I was curious. I just asked. Please don't take it to heart."
Xiao Yan smiled, just as a courtesy.
It's just hard to say whether Nalan Su really took Xiao Yan's words as a courtesy.
In Nalan Jie's room, Nalan Jie has been waiting for a long time.
"Today I will almost be able to completely eliminate Brand Poison from your body."
Before starting, Xiao Yan said, and then glanced at Nalan Su subconsciously. Nalan Su also knew very well that Xiao Yan didn't like anyone to disturb him, so he took the initiative to close the door and wait outside.
"Haha, let me tell you, who did little brother Yan Xiao study under? How could he have such superb fire control skills?"
When Xiao Yan was detoxifying Nalan Jie, the old man couldn't take any time off at all, so he couldn't help but say.
After all, as a patient whose body is directly in contact with Heavenly Flames from Xiao Yan, Nalan Jie can very clearly feel Heavenly Flames traveling in his body without hurting his meridians.
What kind of terrifying soul control ability is required to possess this fire control technique?
Nalan Jie was secretly frightened. Even though he had already made assumptions and prepared himself mentally, he would only be shocked when he actually came into contact with it.
"The teacher is just an idler in the mountains, and I am just a mediocre person, not a genius."
Xiao Yan subconsciously replied with a serious tone, but Nalan Jie couldn't help but shake his head after hearing Xiao Yan's words.
Isn't he a genius?
If he is not a genius, then there are not many geniuses in the world.
But being polite, Xiao Yan also moved very quickly, and the last detoxification was over in less than one stick of incense.
"Okay, Brand Poison has been completely removed from your body."
Xiao Yan took back his Heavenly Flames and said.
"That's true - hahahaha! Okay, then thank you little brother Yan Xiao."
"It's just that everyone gets what they need, no need to be polite."
While the two were chatting, Nalan Jie clapped his hands, and then several maids came up, holding treasure boxes specially used to preserve rare medicinal materials, and appeared in front of Xiao Yan.
"This is the medicine Nalan Family promised to little brother Yan Xiao before."
"Yeah."
Xiao Yan was not polite, everyone got what they needed, so there was no need to be polite. With a raise of his hand, the boxes turned into Streaking Light and flew into Xiao Yan's Storage Ring.
Xiao Yan chatted with them for a while, and Nalan Jie and Nalan Su just went out together with Xiao Yan.
"Thank you little brother Yan Xiao for helping me Nalan Family this time. If you need anything in the future, just come to the Nalan Family."
"Master Nalan Family, you're welcome. Being able to cure Master Nalan Family so quickly is not entirely my fault."
On the way to leave, Xiao Yan, who was chatting, suddenly thought of something and couldn't help but say.
"Oh? Yan Xiao little brother means...?"
"The nature of the Brand Poison in the main body of the Nalan Family is not too serious. It is just integrated into the flesh and blood, but it is also suppressed by the Dou Qi of the main body of the Nalan Family."
"What's more important is actually another Medicinal Property that suppressed Brand Poison for a long time——"
Xiao Yan pondered for a moment and asked, "Out of curiosity, I can't help but want to say one more thing - I wonder where this Medicinal Property comes from?"
Xiao Yan's words undoubtedly surprised Nalan Su and Nalan Jie, so they couldn't help but look at each other.
"Oh... I'm telling you the truth."
Finally, it was Nalan Su who spoke, "At this time, we have to start talking about more than two years ago, not long after his old man was born Brand Poison."
"Brand Poison is extremely fast and violent. Even if it is suppressed by my Dou Wang and Dou Qi, it only gets worse day by day. In the end, it can only be bedridden all day long."
Nalan Jie snorted in displeasure.
Nalan Su then continued, "For this reason, Nalan Family recruited alchemists, and even Honorary Elder Pill King Gu He of the Yun Lan Sect also invited them. However, unexpectedly, even Gu He was helpless with Brand Poison."
"In the end, it was a coincidence. We were lucky enough to invite a mysterious and powerful person known as Northwest Continent. She traveled here and took a look out of interest."
"As a result, the mysterious powerhouse also said that she needed to hire someone else. However, she also left behind the elixir used to suppress Brand Poison. Thanks to this elixir, my father has been at peace with Brand Poison in the past two years, and is even no different from ordinary people."
Nalan Su sighed and said, "In this case, the mysterious strong man probably had the ability to heal his father, but for some unknown reason, he was never willing to take action - an alchemist who can significantly suppress Brand Poison with just a pill, how can he be helpless against Brand Poison."
"Well, since they are willing to help us, it is a huge kindness. I have not been lying on the bed in the past two years, so I want to express my gratitude to them."
Nalan Jie shook his head.
The words Nalan Su and Nalan Jie can't help but make Xiao Yan even more strange.
"... Then you don't know the name of that mysterious powerful man?"
"This..."
Nalan Su and Nalan Jie looked at each other, and then Nalan Jie said, "Brother Yan Xiao, that strong person has a bit of a weird temperament, and she also said that her name is not allowed to be spread. You are kind to me, so I can't hide it from you. I just hope that you are the only one who knows about it. You must not spread it. I hope you understand."
Xiao Yan nodded. "That's natural, Yan Xiao is naturally tight-lipped."
"Well... that mysterious and powerful man is Medicine Fairy who has become famous in the Northwest Continent countries in recent years."
"——What?"
