49. Alchemist Advancement Tournament

Xiao Tian settled Yun Shan, then turned to the two women. "There shouldn't be any problems now, right?"

Lin Fei said, "Xiao Tian, thank you." Xue Mei added, "Yeah. With our talent, we might never have had the chance to earn the Misty Cloud Sect's recognition."

"You're my women. There's nowhere you can't go. Wherever you go, you bring honor to your man. If you're unhappy, then we won't go anywhere."

Xue Mei said, "Hehe, look at you being narcissistic again. By the way, why didn't you compete? We thought you would. But we only knew that Xiao Yan was competing."

Xiao Tian said, "This kind of low-level Alchemist competition is too boring for me. I simply couldn't be bothered." Lin Fei asked, "What grade are you now?" "Sixth grade." Xue Mei and Lin Fei were both shocked! Xue Mei asked, "You're already a sixth-grade Alchemist?" Xiao Tian said nothing and merely nodded.

"After today's competition, I'll take you to meet someone," Xiao Tian said. Lin Fei asked, "Who?" "Your big sister!" Xue Mei asked, "Can we really go?" "Why not?"

As the three chatted, the first match below also came to an end. A dark horse from the Cloud Empire had claimed victory! The Jia Ma Empire group was filled with helplessness, while the four old men on the stage secretly sighed.

Xiao Tian was not surprised by this. After all, that was how it went in the original story. He just did not know whether Xiao Yan could, like in the original story, ultimately take the championship!

After the preliminary round ended, Xiao Tian took the two women to find Yun Yun, while Lu Man was directly sent back by Xiao Tian.

At the Nalan Family residence, Xiao Tian walked in and saw Yun Yun instructing Nalan Yanran. He called out, "Yun Yun, come here. I'll introduce you to two people." Yun Yun said, "Who? I still need to guide Yan Ran's training." Xiao Tian said, "Your sisters," then turned and left.

Yun Yun froze upon hearing that, then seemed to understand something. She told Nalan Yanran to continue training before walking out.

Nalan Yanran was now a seven-star Da Dou Shi, far stronger than she had been in the original story. But no one knew how things would end! After all, the child of destiny of this plane could not be underestimated.

When Yun Yun followed Xiao Tian to a courtyard, she saw the two women behind him. Xiao Tian did not waste words and said directly, "Yun Yun, they're your little sisters, and they're also my women!"

Although he knew Yun Yun might become angry or unhappy, he had done it, so he still chose to tell her honestly. As he watched Yun Yun walk over, Xiao Tian felt deeply uneasy, unsure of what she would do.

After a spell of worry, Xiao Tian did not receive the friction of love he had expected. Instead, Yun Yun gently began chatting with the two women. Lin Fei and Xue Mei knew who Yun Yun was, so they had no other thoughts. They kept calling her big sister this and big sister that. Yun Yun was not angry either, and she chatted happily with them.

Xiao Tian thought, As expected, women are so fickle! An hour later, Yun Yun said to Xiao Tian, "If you dare bully either of these sisters in the future, just see how I deal with you!"

Xiao Tian asked, "You're not angry?" "What would I be angry about?" Xiao Tian immediately brightened, and that floating feeling returned at once. But when he heard Yun Yun's next words, he fell from heaven straight into the ground!

Yun Yun said, "I won't fuss over these two sisters. There's also the Little Fairy Doctor, Gu Xun'er, and Lu Man, whom you mentioned when I first met you. Since they've always been sisters by your side, I won't interfere. But as for anyone else... hmph!"

Hiss—what was this? Especially when she finished speaking and stared at his clothes, was she saying he could not have anything with Medusa? That would be too difficult. But Xiao Tian had no intention of provoking Yun Yun at this moment. Wouldn't that just be asking for trouble?!

Yun Yun said, "I'll also go watch tomorrow's Alchemist Tournament. Yan Ran's cultivation has stabilized." Then she added, "Did you see Teacher today?"

"I did. Elder Yun... he went to watch too!" Calling him Old Man Yun in front of Yun Yun would definitely earn him a beating, so Xiao Tian hurriedly changed his words.

Yun Yun felt certain that Xiao Tian was less polite to her teacher whenever she was not around! Thinking of her teacher, who was like a father to her, and how that bastard Xiao Tian did not respect him, filled her with anger. But she had no proof, so she could only endure it.

Seeing that Yun Yun believed him, Xiao Tian said, "See you tomorrow. We're heading back." After the three left the Nalan Family, they returned to the inn.

The next day was the second round of the Alchemist Tournament. The arena had become lively early in the morning. When Xiao Tian arrived, he saw that there were no fewer spectators than yesterday—there were even more.

Members of the three great families had also arrived. It seemed this alchemy competition truly drew exceptional attention. Xiao Tian swept his gaze across the contestants already gathered below, and when he saw Xiao Yan, a smile curled onto his lips.

"I'm really curious how you'll complete this round of alchemy without Heavenly Flames or Purple Fire. Perfect. Let me witness the strength of the child of destiny of this plane today," Xiao Tian muttered to himself.

Hearing his muttering, Lu Man was extremely curious. Following his gaze, she looked over as well. She did not understand what Xiao Tian had meant, but she could tell that he paid particular attention to the person called Yan Xiao.

"Do you know that Yan Xiao? Why have you been watching him ever since yesterday?" Lu Man asked Xiao Tian in confusion.

Xiao Tian smiled at her, then took her hand and walked toward their seats. Lu Man frowned. Hmph, fine if he would not tell her! It was not like she cared to know!

After a while, the old men from Jia Ma Empire's major factions gradually arrived as well. Xiao Tian was especially polite when greeting them today, leaving the old fellows stunned. After responding to him, they all wondered the same thing: was this really that brat Xiao Tian?

That was because Xiao Tian had sensed Yun Yun approaching. Naturally, he had to be polite. Besides, he had always respected the elderly.

Meanwhile, the competition below began. As the contest got underway, Xiao Tian watched that damned Alchemist from the Cloud Empire, who was actually trying to use poison again.

Just as the Cloud Empire contestant was about to win the championship, Xiao Yan directly summoned a Heavenly Flame. "Six Paths Samsara Flame!"

"A Heavenly Flame! I never expected someone so young to possess a Heavenly Flame!" Everyone on the stage discussed it among themselves and cheered Xiao Yan on. After all, this was a contest between two empires!

Yun Shan said, "For this boy to acquire a Heavenly Flame at such a young age is truly remarkable. Wouldn't it be good if we recruited him into the Misty Cloud Sect?"

Fa Ma was displeased upon hearing that. Why did every exceptionally talented person have to be recruited into the Misty Cloud Sect? Couldn't the royal family recruit them too? Just as he was about to speak, Xiao Tian's calm voice rang out.

"Old Man Yun, you should stop thinking about recruiting that person called Yan Xiao. He will absolutely never join your Misty Cloud Sect," Xiao Tian said indifferently.

Yun Yun happened to arrive with Nalan Yanran. After hearing this, she also felt it was true. But hearing Xiao Tian disrespect her teacher again was something she could not tolerate. And seeing how smug he was, surrounded by all those fluttering women, an inexplicable fire slowly rose within her.

Yun Shan asked, "Why can't I recruit this Yan Xiao? You should know that my Misty Cloud Sect is the number one sect in the Jia Ma Empire!" "Because of your granddisciple. The Xiao Yan from the Xiao Family whose engagement your granddisciple went to annul is Yan Xiao, who is now below refining medicine while wearing a false mask!"

Upon hearing that, the father and son of the Nalan Family both looked over. So this was Xiao Yan—the boy who could have become the Nalan Family's perfect son-in-law. Now... Nalan Jie glanced at Nalan Yanran, sighed, and said nothing more.

At this moment, the poison mist below dispersed. After a final exchange, the match ended in a draw, and they would settle the winner tomorrow. Looking at the poison mist, Xiao Tian understood. That damned thing would definitely pull another dirty trick tomorrow. But Xiao Tian did not care. Before true strength, any scheme was garbage!

"Nalan Yanran, seeing Xiao Yan as he is now, I want to know whether you regret it. Tell me your true feelings. Don't put on that arrogant act for me," Xiao Tian suddenly asked with interest. He remembered that, in the original story, Nalan Yanran had deeply regretted it.

Nalan Yanran replied, "I... I don't regret it!"
