This Is an Office, You Know

"Hmph!" She pursed her lips and squeezed out a voice from deep in her throat that she thought Chang Wei and deep as her father's, but to others it sounded as soft and cute as a kitten's hum.

"Fourth Grade Initial Stage, Jade Restoration Pill, finished product with Pill Veins!!"

She announced it solemnly, holding up the newly formed pill with her small hand. Her bright eyes were filled with pride and excitement, and her joy at successfully refining the pill was evident in every corner of her eyes and brows.

"That's fantastic! My Xiao Ling'er is truly a Xiao Tian. The pill she produced is of the highest quality, with Pill Veins!" Xuan Yi appeared before Xiao Ling, praising her without reservation.

Hehe~

Upon hearing Xuan Yi's words, Xiao Ling couldn't help but chuckle. Her carefully maintained "domineering" demeanor instantly crumbled, and she transformed into a smiling little sprite with crescent-shaped eyes and shallow dimples.

"Haha, Xiao Ling'er, so cute!" Xuan Yi couldn't help but laugh as he looked at Xiao Ling.

"Hmph! Don't laugh!" Xiao Ling puffed out her cheeks and stomped her little feet, trying to regain some authority, but her appearance only made her look even cuter.

The other Elder also surrounded Xiao Ling Xiao Ling, their eyes scrutinizing the pill in her hand, before bursting into incredulous exclamations.

"My God! It really is a Fourth Grade Jade Restoration Pill with Pill Veins!"

"How is this possible? Made by a four-year-old girl?"

The Elder, who had initially been watching the spectacle with amusement, were now dumbfounded. They didn't even notice that the hand stroking their beard had pulled out a few hairs from their own beards.

The Jade Restoration Pill is considered to be of medium to high difficulty in refining among the Fourth Grade Initial pills. The fact that she was able to refine the Pill Veins proves that Xiao Ling's control over the heat and her soul is perfect.

Even most Sixth Grade Alchemist might not be able to refine a Fourth Grade Initial pill with Pill Veins.

"Sigh, I've lived such a long and wasted life."

"Sigh, think about my eldest grandson, he's only a teenager and a lowly Second Grade Alchemist. I should give him a good beating when we get back."

Many Elder shook their heads as they looked at the pills, their eyes burning with fervor as they gazed at Xiao Ling. She was an exceptionally talented young woman; if they were her teacher, she would surely be remembered for generations.

However, they only thought about it briefly. There were several powerful figures standing there, and their small group wouldn't even be enough to carry their shoes.

Inside a study, three figures sat at a desk.

"Xuan Yi, do you know who Xiao Tian's teacher is?" Xuan Kongzi looked at Xuan Yi, who sat serenely on the carved wooden chair, Xuan Yi, "Could it be Little Ancestor?"

Xuan Yi gently stroked the ring on his finger, then shook his head. "No, he told me that he didn't have a teacher; he figured it all out on his own."

"Really?" A hint of surprise flashed in Xuan Kongzi's eyes. If the other party had figured it all out on their own, then it meant that he had underestimated the other party's talent.

Alchemist is completely different from being taught by a teacher and from being able to make it entirely on your own. In the Alchemist profession, the latter is ten times more difficult.

Seeing that Xuan Kongzi was about to say something, Xuan Yi interrupted him directly.

"Alright, you two old folks, there's no need for you to try and dodge the question here. Do you think I can't tell what you're thinking?"

"You must have investigated his identity privately. You're just looking for me to ask if Xiao Tian wants to become an Elder or something."

"Don't even think about staying in the Pill Tower. Leaving aside his identity, I wouldn't do that either."

Xuan Kongzi and the other man coughed lightly, slightly embarrassed: They really don't give us two old guys any face at all.

Just then, Xuan Yi's voice came again. "However, he said he could become a nominal Guest Elder in the Pill Tower."

"Of course, it's just a nominal position. He won't accept any instructions or missions from Pill Tower; otherwise, there's no point in discussing it."

Upon hearing Xuan Yi's words, Xuan Kongzi and the other person's expressions, which had initially shown slight disappointment and as if they had expected it, immediately changed, replaced by a hint of a smile.

"No problem, of course."

They had all thoroughly analyzed Xiao Tian 'Xiao Tian information and had a general understanding of his personality: he was a hands-off manager. Xiao Tian only gave the name to the entire Free and Unfettered Hall; the rest was handled by others.

However, it doesn't matter. As long as Xiao Tian is nominally a member of the Pill Tower, when he becomes a top figure in the future, the Pill Tower can also share in the glory, and the Pill Tower's prestige will increase a bit.

"Alright, alright, if there's nothing else, I'll be leaving." Xuan Yi glanced at the two of them, then stood up and slowly left the study.

As Xuan Kongzi watched Xuan Yi's departing figure, he inexplicably felt that Xiao Tian and Xuan Yi were quite similar in some ways; neither of them had any interest in power.

As the Hall Master the Free and Unfettered Hall, Xiao Tian didn't care about anything and just idled around every day.

As the president of the Pill Tower, Xuan Yi didn't care about anything else and only thought about Secluded Cultivation cultivation every day.

Inside Xuan Yi's private office.

Xuan Yi was flipping through a stack of documents in his hand when he casually asked, "Have all the items been sent out?"

"Reporting to Xuan Yi Master Xuan Yi, everything has been packed and sent out. It should arrive soon," an elderly man from the Pill Tower wearing a golden badge replied, bowing his head.

"Yes, keep a close eye on things. If anything goes wrong, you'll all be held accountable." The man in Xuan Yi spoke in a calm voice, carrying a hint of authority.

"I'll arrange it right away, there won't be any problems." The old man sensed the powerful aura emanating from Xuan Yi, lowered his head, and spoke with a trembling voice, each word ringing with conviction.

"Okay, go down."

Upon hearing Xuan Yi's words, the old man hastily retreated to carry out the tasks Xuan Yi had instructed.

Xuan Yi, who was flipping through documents, looked at the empty study and said, "What's wrong? You've been watching the show for so long, and you still haven't had enough?"

A ripple appeared in the space, and Xiao Tian stepped out from within, arriving in front of Xuan Yi: "It's rare to see you so imposing, I can't help but take a few more glances. Besides, no matter how long I look at you, I'll never get enough; in fact, the more I look, the more I like you."

Upon hearing this, Xuan Yi paused slightly in her work of flipping through documents, glanced at Xiao Tianyi, but the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up slightly, her eyes sparkling with tenderness and joy, and her fingertips gently stroking the edge of the pages, as if trying to hide something.

"Glib-tongued."

Xiao Tian's eyes flashed, and a bright smile appeared on his lips. He slowly walked to Xuan Yi's side, took the documents from her hands, and placed them on the desk.

He picked her up in his arms, then sat her in her chair and placed her on his lap.

Xuan Yi struggled slightly, but didn't push him away forcefully. She simply said softly, "What are you doing? This is an office."

A wisp of Dou Qi shot out from her fingertips, and the office door was instantly locked.
