Meeting Fama
The seven-colored Dou Qi in Cai Lin's hand gradually dissipated. She glanced at Xiao Yu and asked, "Why did you come here?"
Xiao Yu smiled helplessly, "I was just worried about you two. I was afraid you'd tear down someone's pharmacy, so I came along to check on you!"
Zi Yan rolled her eyes at Xiao Yu and said, "Are you really that worried about me and Sister Cai Lin?"
Xiao Yu looked at Zi Yan and chuckled, "Hey, you're mistaken. I'm just worried you might do something reckless!"
Hearing Xiao Yu's words, a barely perceptible smile appeared on Cai Lin's lips. Zi Yan, however, retorted angrily, "Why aren't you worried about Sister Cai Lin? She has an even worse temper than me!"
Before Zi Yan could finish speaking, she saw the death stare in Cai Lin's eyes, and immediately shrank back, not daring to say anything more.
"What's wrong with him?" Xiao Yu ignored Zi Yan and asked the middle-aged man kneeling on the ground, trembling.
Zi Yan, standing to the side, explained, "This guy looked at Sister Cai Lin with a really disgusting gaze, so Sister Cai Lin wanted to teach him a lesson!"
"And I think this guy is a swindler. I just saw him trying to threaten those two girls into buying the medicinal herbs!" Zi Yan pointed to Xue Mei and Lin Fei standing on the other side.
Xue Mei and Lin Fei were both dumbfounded. After all, the man who had been bossing them around had completely reversed the situation after the two women, one big and one small, walked in!
However, when Zi Yan mentioned the two of them, Xue Mei and Lin Fei also came to their senses and saw Xiao Yu standing there. Xue Mei said in surprise, "You are, Xiao Yu?"
Xiao Yu suddenly heard a soft voice beside him and turned to look at Xue Mei and Lin Fei. However, both of them were wearing light veils and hats, so Xiao Yu couldn't immediately remember who they were!
Seeing the puzzled look on Xiao Yu's face, Xue Mei immediately took off her bamboo hat, revealing long, snow-white hair. This reminded Xiao Yu of someone. When he saw it was Xue Mei, Xiao Yu smiled faintly and said, "So it's you. What a coincidence. Are you also here to participate in the Alchemist Tournament?"
Xiao Yu truly hadn't expected to run into them here. It was quite a coincidence; this was their third encounter. Lin Fei, standing beside Xue Mei, removed her bamboo hat and looked at Xiao Yu with a grin, saying, "Xiao Yu, do you remember me?"
Xiao Yu chuckled and said, "Lin Fei, am I remembering correctly?"
Lin Fei smiled and looked at Xiao Yu, saying, "If I remember correctly, it's really unexpected to run into you here. Shouldn't you be at the Jia Nan Academy?"
Xue Mei also looked at Xiao Yu, who smiled and said, "It's all because President Fama Xiao Yu wanted me to come here, saying how important this Alchemist Tournament is. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come!"
Xue Mei and Lin Fei nodded and said, "Since you're already here, why don't you come back with us to see President Fama?"
After thinking for a moment, Xiao Yu said, "Alright, I was originally planning to go tomorrow, but since we've run into each other, let's go together. By the way, how are Master Otto and the others?"
Xue Mei nodded slightly and said, "The teachers are all well, but they couldn't come this time. Otherwise, I believe they would be very happy to see you!"
Lin Fei nodded, glancing at Xiao Yu with a hint of jealousy, and said, "That's right, that's right. Our teachers have mentioned you to us more than once or twice, treating you as our role model. I don't know how you cultivate, you're already at the fifth rank at the same age as us,..."
As Lin Fei was speaking, her gaze suddenly flashed across Xiao Yu's chest, then abruptly stopped at the Xiao Yu -Sixth Grade Alchemist badge on his chest. "Sixth Grade Alchemist?"
Lin Fei's words also caught Xue Mei's attention. Her gaze fell on Xiao Yu's chest, and she exclaimed in shock, "You're already Sixth Grade Alchemist?"
"Freak, how exactly did you cultivate?" Lin Fei couldn't help but groan. While they were still struggling to break through to the Second-grade Alchemist, they discovered that Xiao Yu had already broken through to the Sixth Grade Alchemist!
Xiao Yu chuckled and said, "Just cultivate like this, and you'll break through eventually!"
However, Xiao Yu's irritating appearance was really annoying to look at, but given his strength, there was nothing that could be done about it!
Seeing that Xue Mei was still holding a medicinal herb, Xiao Yu immediately looked at the middle-aged man and asked, "How much is this herb?"
The middle-aged man was startled, then quickly replied, "Two hundred, no, I don't need the money, just take it!"
Xiao Yu casually shrugged and looked at Xue Mei, saying, "Since he said it's free, then take it!"
Xue Mei and Lin Fei exchanged a wry smile, not expecting that the Thousand Spirit Grass would be taken away without them having to pay a cent!
However, before leaving, Zi Yan took a lot of medicinal herbs and threw down a Gold Coins before running away. The middle-aged man looked at the medicine shop, where most of the high-grade medicinal herbs were missing, with tears in his eyes. How did he manage to provoke such a group of evil spirits!
After leaving the pharmacy, Xue Mei and Lin Fei led Xiao Yu and the others directly towards the council hall of Black Mountain Fortress, where President Fama and Yao Zhantian should be located.
As Xue Mei led them into the council hall of Black Mountain Fortress, President Fama immediately spotted Xiao Yu, stood up to greet him, and chuckled, "I knew you wouldn't refuse this old man's small request!"
Xiao Yu also laughed and said, "As long as it's President Fama's invitation, I'll come even if I'm busy!"
Sitting at the head of the table Yao Zhantian glanced at Xiao Yu with some surprise, then stood up and walked over. Yao Yue, standing beside Yao Zhantian, whispered, "Uncle, this is the champion of our last Imperial Alchemist Tournament, Fifth-grade Alchemist. His alchemy skills are extremely formidable!"
"Oh?" This time, Yao Zhantian was even more surprised.
After greeting President Fama, Xiao Yu saw Princess Yao Yue standing behind him. He nodded slightly to Yao Yue and smiled, "Little Princess, how have you been?"
Yao Yue looked at Xiao Yu playfully and said, "Was the last time we met a few months ago?"
"This is my uncle, the garrison general of Black Mountain Fortress, Yao Zhantian!" Yao Yue introduced Yao Zhantian to Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu also glanced at Yao Zhantian and nodded slightly in acknowledgment. Suddenly, President Fama Xiao Yu the badge on Xiao Yu's chest and looked at him in surprise, saying, "You, you're already Sixth Grade Alchemist?"
"Sixth Rank?" Everyone present turned to look at Xiao Yu. Stared at by so many eyes, Xiao Yu thought to himself, "I should have known better than to wear this alchemist's robe to show off. Now look at me, like a monkey!"
