Zi Yan: Is Everything You Said True?

Inside the hall sat a little girl dressed in white, constantly chewing something, her short legs swinging in the air.

His face was full of happy and satisfied smiles.

"Little Zi Yan, what brings you here? Did you finish all that food?"

When Xiao Tian saw Zi Yan, his first thought was that she had come to refine pills again.

"No, there's still a lot more. If I eat that much in such a short time, I'll burst from the energy reserves."

Zi Yan shook her head, her two high ponytails swaying from side to side with her movement.

So, what brings you here this time?

Xiao Tian looked at Zi Yan with suspicion. This little girl only appeared after she ran out of pills; otherwise, she was elusive and hard to find.

Zi Yan is not the kind of person who can stay idle.

"I'm here to deliver a message. Old Man Su asked me to tell you that you need to go to his place tomorrow."

Zi Yan swallowed the pill in her mouth and said with a serious expression, then told Xiao Tian about the location of the Grand Elder.

Upon hearing Zi Yan's words, Xiao Tian frowned slightly, thinking: So he really did appear in the square yesterday? Was it because of the Heavenly Flames or his identity Alchemist? Oh well, we'll find out tomorrow.

"Okay, I understand."

Seeing Zi Yan's prematurely aged appearance, Xiao Tian couldn't help but pinch Zi Yan chubby little face.

"Little Zi Yan is so cute."

Zi Yan slapped Xiao Tian's mischievous hand away, her little face slightly wrinkled. "You're the cute one, your whole family is cute."

Zi Yan desperately wanted to grow up so she could get rid of this appearance. She was always treated like a child, which was infuriating.

"I want to be a mature and sophisticated woman."

"Pfft~"

Xiao Tian couldn't help but laugh when he saw Zi Yan's serious expression. Although Zi Yan had indeed grown up to be a mature and domineering woman, with a very hot figure.

But the way this little girl looks now, saying such things, is strangely comical.

He reached out his wicked hands towards Zi Yan's smiling face, but this time Zi Yan directly slapped his hands away, preventing him from succeeding.

Xiao Tian reached out and continued to pinch her small face.

Unable to bear this "bullying," Zi Yan stood up and pounced on Xiao Tian, hopping on her short legs to try and pinch Xiao Tian face.

"Just wait and see how I deal with you!!"

Xiao Tian pressed her head down with one hand. Zi Yan tried everything she could, but to no avail. She couldn't get close to Xiao Tian no matter what she did.

"Aaaaaah!!!"

Zi Yan was so angry that her teeth itched, her eyes were wide open, and her cheeks were puffed up high with anger.

"You wait, I'll remember this grudge, and I'll definitely get my revenge when I grow up."

Zi Yan was so angry that her otherwise unremarkable chest felt like it was about to explode. She put her hands on her hips and glared fiercely at Xiao Tian.

Looking at Zi Yan's adorable and funny appearance, Xiao Tian lowered his hand from Zi Yan head. "Alright, alright, here you go."

Xiao Tian took out a Jade Bottle containing a pill made from the medicinal herbs he had previously obtained from Zi Yan.

Zi Yan was slightly taken aback, then reached out and took the Jade Bottle. Inside were about twenty pills. "I'll forgive you for the sake of these pills, hmph!"

Zi Yan couldn't wait to pour out one and put it in her mouth to chew.

"Zi Yan, do you want to go out and play with me?"

Xiao Tian looked at the adorable Zi Yan and smiled.

"Where to? How about we go to the Arena? I can earn some Fire Energy."

Zi Yan chewed the pill, looked up at Xiao Tian, her eyes full of anticipation.

Seeing Zi Yan like this, Xiao Tian couldn't help but rub his forehead. As expected of a magical beast, she was naturally combative.

"No, don't you have the ability to sense the Spiritual Item? Let's go find medicinal herbs."

"Find medicinal herbs? You're making me work for you illegally, just like those old men in the Inner Academy?"

Zi Yan recalled how each time Elder Hao and Su Qian tricked her into going out to find medicinal herbs, they would only give her one herb and confiscate the rest.

"I'm not that kind of person, I'm not a heartless person. Here's the deal: you take care of sensing the treasure, and I'll take care of the action. We'll split what we get."

"And I'll take care of all your future medicine pills, I'll keep refining them for you until you grow up."

When Zi Yan first heard Xiao Tian's words, she fell into thought. But after hearing Xiao Tian's last sentence, her eyes lit up, and she even kept swallowing, her eyes sparkling.

"Really? You're not kidding me."

"Of course it's true, I keep my word."

"Then let's hurry up and go, don't waste any time."

As soon as Zi Yan finished speaking, she immediately grabbed Xiao Tian's hand and walked outside, embarking on a spontaneous trip.

The two teamed up and arrived at the edge of the Inner Academy Forest, then plunged into the forest.

"Were those the Brute Force King and the Demon King just now?"

As they went in, Yan Hao and Lin Xiuya were also preparing to enter the forest not far away, hoping to find some Spiritual Item to help them break through to the Dou Wang.

Upon seeing the two figures, one large and one small, in front of him, Yan Hao asked Lin Xiuya in surprise.

"It's them. The two of them went into the forest, especially Senior Zi Yan. I'm guessing things won't be safe inside. I expect a lot of people will be in trouble."

Lin Xiuya recalled a time when Zi Yan entered the forest, and behind her came the mournful roars of magical beasts. After that, the magical beasts couldn't do anything to Zi Yan, so they could only vent their anger on other unlucky creatures.

"Maybe we shouldn't go in for a while, so we don't end up being chased around everywhere."

The two exchanged a glance, then returned to where they had come from.

"Zi Yan, did you sense it?"

Xiao Tian followed behind Zi Yan, watching her sniff around, constantly sensing the direction of the Spiritual Item.

"Don't rush me, I can already vaguely sense it."

Zi Yan frowned slightly, constantly increasing her sensitivity to the treasure.

"Found it, it's over there."

Suddenly, Zi Yan took a few quick steps and ran towards the west.

"It's right here, hidden underground."

Zi Yan stopped beside a towering tree, pointed to the ground, and spoke to Xiao Tian.

Xiao Tian trusted Zi Yan's intuition and immediately used his fighting Dou Qi to shovel away the soil on the ground.

After digging about ten meters deep, the medicinal herbs buried underground were revealed.

This is a piece of jade-like wood medicinal material, thirty centimeters long and as thick as an arm.

"This is Jade Stone Wood, a rather rare medicinal herb. Zi Yan, you're incredibly talented; you found such a good thing so quickly."

Xiao Tian picked up the Jade Stone Wood, examined it, and praised it to Zi Yan.

Upon hearing Xiao Tian's praise, Zi Yan put her hands on her hips, raised her head high, and looked incredibly proud of herself.

"That's right, why don't you become my underling from now on? Follow me, and I'll guarantee you a life of luxury."

"You've become arrogant towards Zi Yan. I treated you like family, but you want me to be your little brother. I'm so heartbroken."

Upon hearing this, Zi Yan seemed to grasp something, her body stiffened, a complex look flashed in her eyes, and she bit her lip. "Is everything you said true?"

"What's real or fake?"

"It's what you just said."
