Arriving at the Nalan Family

"Try this Ice Silkworm Mask first and see if it works. Check if there are any problems with it, so you don't have trouble using it later."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan carefully examined the dough in his hand and couldn't help but marvel at its exquisite craftsmanship. He then gently placed the dough on his face.

Instantly, a cool sensation spread throughout his body. His face pressed against his skin, and even his own facial features seemed to twitch slightly, as if they had merged into his face without any sense of incongruity.

"This is truly a treasure; its value must be considerable. It doesn't seem any less effective than my previous method." Xiao Yan took out a mirror, looking at his somewhat ordinary face in the mirror with a mixture of curiosity and admiration in his eyes.

"Given your current appearance and the fact that we parted so hastily back then, and you didn't circulate your Dou Qi, she won't be able to tell anything unusual about you. Later, you can use 'special methods' to help conceal it, so even if you get close to her, she won't notice anything amiss."

Xiao Tian stroked his chin and said with a smile.

Xiao Yan naturally understood what the special method Xiao Tian was referring to, and his heart was greatly reassured.

Xiao Yan touched his face and said calmly, "That's true. Shall I go over now?"

"No rush, let's go tomorrow. It's getting late, let me have Fei Er arrange some accommodations for you first."

Ya Fei summoned a maid, gave her a few instructions, and then Xiao Yan followed the maid out.

"Your younger brother possesses Heavenly Flames within him?"

Ya Fei sat on Xiao Tian 'Xiao Tian lap, leaning against his chest, and asked curiously.

"Hmm, the Green Lotus Core Flame, ranked nineteenth on the Heavenly Flame Ranking."

Xiao Tian held Ya Fei tightly in his arms, inhaling her fragrance, and said softly.

"You don't also have Heavenly Flames, do you?"

Seeing Xiao Tian's indifferent gaze, Ya Fei blinked her big, bright eyes and looked at Xiao Tian.

Xiao Tian didn't speak, but stretched out a hand, and a bright red flame appeared in his hand. A Qilin roared to the sky, and the scorching heat spread throughout the room.

"Is your family a breeding ground for extraordinary talents? Each one of them possesses Heavenly Flames, and they're Alchemist too."

Ya Fei touched her forehead and sighed enviously.

"What, are you envious? Your current Icy Spirit Body is quite powerful. Once you reach a certain level, your Ice Power will be no less than some Heavenly Flames."

Xiao Tian withdrew his Heavenly Flames and spoke gently.

Ya Fei knew, of course, that her physique was extremely strong; her envy stemmed from the fact that she herself had once imagined becoming Alchemist.

"Fei Er wants to help your family add another Alchemist."

Ya Fei's alluring and seductive voice rang in Xiao Tian's ears.

With a wave of his hand, he sealed the gate shut with his Dou Qi.

Several hours passed quietly.

After the storm subsided.

In the silent night sky, a figure carrying a person streaked across the sky without attracting anyone's attention, landing in a courtyard.

The next morning.

Xiao Yan took Yao Lao's unique Shape-shifting Pill and transformed into a young man with slightly handsome features.

He walked out of the room arranged by the Mittel Auction House and headed towards Xiao Tian's courtyard.

At this moment, Xiao Tian had just finished his morning exercise and had washed and changed with Ya Fei's help.

"Knock knock"

A knock sounded at the door, and Xiao Tian knew it was Xiao Yan.

"Fei Er, I'm leaving."

Xiao Tian kissed Ya Fei on the cheek as she lay back on the bed.

Simply put on the Ice Silkworm Mask, and your appearance will change dramatically in an instant, turning you into a handsome but slightly lazy person, maximizing the effect of the Aura Concealing Card.

After leaving, he and Xiao Yan headed towards the Nalan Family's territory.

As for why Xiao Tian went along, it was simply to check it off his list and join in the fun.

The Nalan Family, located in the city center, arrived in front of a magnificent-looking mansion.

A ripple of emotion stirred within Xiao Yan's heart. This mansion might have been another home in the past, his father-in-law's house.

The entire mansion was heavily guarded, and a large crowd had gathered at the entrance.

These people were all dressed in Alchemist robes, the few shimmering silver ripples on their chests sparkling brilliantly in the sunlight. These ripples not only represented their identity but also symbolized their Alchemist rank.

The Nalan Family clearly did not dare to neglect these powerful Alchemist. At the entrance, some servants were respectfully talking to the Alchemist waiting outside. Only after confirming that the alchemists indeed had the strength to enter were they allowed to pass. Some Alchemist whose strength was questionable were simply refused entry with smiles.

However, those who were rejected were mostly first- or Second Grade Alchemist, while those who were allowed in were all Third Rank. As for first- and second-grade Alchemist, given Nalan Yanran's background, although being rejected was a bit of a loss of face, they dared not show it too obviously.

Xiao Yan squeezed through the crowd and made a path to walk inside, while Xiao Tian Xiao Yan followed behind him, walking slowly forward.

Sure enough, with someone clearing the way, there was no fear of crowds.

As Xiao Yan walked in, an elderly man who looked like a butler stepped forward. However, when he saw the identity of Second Grade Alchemist on Xiao Yan's chest, a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

Although Xiao Yan's appearance was somewhat youthful, which surprised him a little, he was about to politely persuade him to retreat because his level was not high enough, when a slightly lazy voice suddenly rang out.

"I know you need Third Grade or Higher Alchemist, but rank doesn't represent everything. Don't let your situation cause you to squander your old man's last chances."

The butler looked at Xiao Tian, who was standing next to the Second Grade Alchemist, and saw Xiao Tian's Third Grade Alchemist Badge. Considering his youthful appearance, he thought to himself, "So young and already Third Rank? The last time I saw a young Third Grade Alchemist was through Miss's friend."

"Young man, you've also come to try and heal our family's patriarch Nalan Jie, haven't you?"

Xiao Tian shook his head. "No, I came with him. Junior Brother Yan Xiao, show me your Recommendation Letter."

Xiao Yan took out the Recommendation Letter written by Ya Fei and handed it to the steward.

The butler took the letter, and as he unfolded it, lines of elegant and slender handwriting came into view. When he saw Ya Fei's handwritten signature at the end of the letter, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

After glancing at the letter and then at Xiao Tian beside Xiao Yan, the butler gritted his teeth, stepped aside, and bowed slightly, saying, "Sirs, please come in. If you can cure our old master, you will be a friend of the Nalan Family forever."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Tian felt a surge of disdain. Now they say they'll be friends forever, but once he's cured and joins the Misty Cloud Sect, they'll become unreachable by phone.

The reason given was for the sake of the family; in contrast, Hai Bo Dong was much more decisive.

Xiao Yan nodded slightly and walked into the Nalan Family with Xiao Tianyi. After entering the gate, a pretty maid came over and led the two of them towards the main hall.

As Xiao Yan and Xiao Tian walked along the path paved with Green Gravel from the Nalan Family, a woman in a moon-white robe looked at Xiao Yan with a mixture of surprise and delight.

Because the woman was quite far away and in a well-hidden location, neither Xiao Yan nor Xiao Tian noticed her.
