Xiao Yan Calls

Watching Zi Yan's retreating figure, Xiao Ming and Xiao Yi Xian exchanged a glance, both somewhat surprised.

Normally, Zi Yan is very clingy to Xiao Ming, so why is she acting so strangely today?

"Tsk, could it be that Zi Yan has discovered Medusa?" Xiao Ming wondered to himself.

Thinking about it, it's quite possible. Medusa should be near the Jia Ma Holy City right now. However, Xiao Ming hasn't investigated, so he's not entirely sure.

"Should we follow them and take a look?" Xiao Yi Xian asked.

"Forget it, let her go. With Zi Yan's current strength, no one in the Jia Ma Empire can easily stop her. If they fight, the resulting disturbances will be enough to attract our attention."

"That's true," Xiao Yi Xian agreed.

"Since she's not here, perhaps we can..." Xiao Ming was about to say something when he heard the footsteps of a maid outside.

A maid dressed in pink entered the living room.

"Master, President Fa Ma has come to pay a visit."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ming stopped what he was about to say and instead spoke.

"Quickly, invite him in."

"Yes."

Watching the departing maid, Xiao Yi Xian blinked and asked, "Perhaps we could do something?"

"... What can we do? Just exchange feelings, that's all," Xiao Ming sighed.

"Is it really just about exchanging feelings?" Xiao Yi Xian's tone carried a hint of seduction.

"If I really wanted to do something else, would you dare?" Xiao Ming turned his head to look at her. Even though it was Xiao Yi Xian who took the initiative, she was still very shy. Holding hands and kissing was fine, but if anything went too far, she would back down.

When Xiao Ming exposed her lie, Xiao Yi Xian just smiled and didn't say anything more, because Fa Ma had already reached the door, and it wouldn't be appropriate to continue the conversation.

Xiao Yi Xian's intuition was correct. A few seconds later, the strangely shaped Fa Ma stepped into the hall. When he saw Xiao Ming in his seat, his wrinkled face, as wrinkled as tree bark, twitched.

"Haha, Master Xiao Ming, it's been a long time! How have you been?"

"All is well. President Fa Ma is still going strong for his age, and it seems his cultivation has improved quite a bit." Xiao Ming stood up and said with a smile.

"What progress have I made? I can't compare to you young people."

"President Fa Ma, please have a seat. Someone, pour President Fa Ma some tea," Xiao Ming called out.

"No rush, no rush. Let me introduce you to an outstanding young man first. Yan Xiao, come in quickly!"

"Yan Xiao?" Xiao Ming narrowed his eyes upon hearing this, looking towards the door where a somewhat familiar Aura could be heard.

As soon as Fa Ma finished speaking, a man in black robes walked into the hall.

As soon as he entered the hall, the man in the black robe took off his hat, revealing a very ordinary face.

"Yan Xiao greets Master Xiao Ming." The young man, referred to as Yan Xiao by Fa Ma, bowed respectfully.

"This Yan Xiao who has arrived in the Imperial Capital these past few days. He is only twenty years old and is already Grade Three Alchemist. Although he cannot compare to Master Xiao Ming, he can still be considered a promising young talent. Therefore, I would like to ask you to give him some guidance." Fa Ma stroked his beard and smiled, showing that he had high hopes for Xiao Yan.

Hearing this, Xiao Ming was speechless for a moment.

Isn't that Yan Xiao Yan?

Why would I give him pointers? He already has a master Venerable Yao; why would he need my guidance?

Looking at Xiao Yan Xiao Ming's expression, Xiao Yan couldn't help but twitch his lips.

He never expected that the senior Alchemist whom President Fa Ma had mysteriously promised to introduce to him would actually be Xiao Ming.

As a member of Xiao Ming's clan, does he need an introduction?

But this is good, at least he knows that Xiao Ming lives here. He really didn't know that Xiao Ming Imperial Capital.

Thinking about the Three-Year Agreement, an idea popped into Xiao Yan's mind. Before the idea could take shape, Old Man Yao's voice suddenly appeared in his mind.

"Xiao Yan, do you see that White Clothed Woman over there? She has Heavenly Flames on her!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan was startled and quickly asked, "She also has Heavenly Flames? Teacher, you can't be, right? She doesn't seem to be older than me, and I haven't seen or sensed Heavenly Flames in her."

"You brat, who do you think your teacher is? How could I be wrong? She may not be much older than you, but she's strong enough to take on a hundred of you! What's so strange about her having a Heavenly Flames?" Old Man Yao replied.

"No way?" Xiao Yan was very confident in his strength. In all his years of training, he had never encountered a young man who could compare to him.

From birth until now, he has only ever met one person more powerful than Xiao Ming.

How could just anyone his age easily defeat him?

"Heh, do you think I'm kidding you? Don't even mention you, even your cousin Xiao Ming next to you isn't as strong as him!"

"Xiao Ming is Dou Emperor!" Xiao Yan increasingly felt that Old Man Yao was teasing him, and said speechlessly.

Although Old Man Yao didn't want to discourage Xiao Yan, he still said, "No, your cousin is Dou Zong!"

"Dou Zong?" Xiao Yan's eyes widened suddenly, and he almost couldn't help but shout it out.

While Xiao Yan was having an internal conversation with Old Man Yao, Xiao Ming had already asked them to sit down.

After that, Fa Ma and Xiao Ming were talking about some things. During this time, Fa Ma inadvertently glanced at Xiao Yan's expression and couldn't help but ask.

"Yan Xiao, what's wrong? Do you have a question about what I just said?"

"Uh, no..." Xiao Yan quickly brushed it off.

Seeing that Fa Ma was discussing things with Xiao Ming again, he quickly asked Old Man Yao in his mind.

Is Xiao Ming really Dou Zong?

"Teacher, what good would it do me to lie to you? The space around his body trembled slightly, a phenomenon that only occurs after one's strength reaches the Dou Zong!" At this point, Old Man Yao couldn't help but sigh.

Such a young Dou Zong is still top-notch even in the Central Continent, where geniuses abound. If he weren't in a remote place like the Northwest Continent, where resources are scarce, his cultivation level would probably be even more terrifying.

Having heard that what Old Man Yao said made sense and was well-founded, Xiao Yan had no choice but to believe it.

"Teacher, the other side also has Heavenly Flames. Should we try to steal it?"

After successfully stealing Gu He's Heavenly Flames, Xiao Yan felt that there was nothing wrong with stealing Heavenly Flames from strangers.

After absorbing the Heavenly Flames, his strength increased significantly.

"How is that possible? Someone could crush you with a single finger, and you still want to steal someone else's Heavenly Flames. I'm already struggling to deal with Dou Zong. Besides, you didn't even bother to find out what her relationship with your cousin is before you made your move? You're so reckless," Old Man Yao said speechlessly.

"It was my fault," Xiao Yan thought to himself with an embarrassed smile.

"However, if we can't seize the Heavenly Flames, then what you said is as good as saying nothing at all, teacher..."

"Hehe, you don't understand. The Fire Attribute Dou Qi around that White Clothed Woman isn't strong, which shows she's not Alchemist and doesn't have a high need for Heavenly Flames. Perhaps we can trade with her. I've collected some over the years; you can leave them behind later."

"You don't need to worry about Xiao Ming refusing. At a certain level, people distinguish others by their Aura. Although your appearance has changed, your Aura hasn't changed much. Your cousin already knew it was you."

"Good."
