Hearing Xiao Yi Xian's words, Xiao Ding and Xiao Li suddenly felt their mouths go dry. When had their little brother become so incredible? Not only had his cultivation surpassed theirs, but he was now a Second-grade Alchemist. Alchemists were an exceptionally prestigious profession throughout the Dou Qi Continent. Xiao Ding looked at Xiao Yu with relief and said, "Little Yu, well done!"
"Yes, Big Brother and I are both proud of you!" Xiao Li said with a smile, patting Xiao Yu on the shoulder.
Xiao Yu chuckled softly. "Big Brother, Second Brother, you flatter me. We can discuss these things after I return. Right now, I need to go take a look over there!" He pointed east.
Concern immediately appeared on Xiao Ding and Xiao Li's faces. "Little Yu, it's not that we want to stop you, but the aura coming from over there could belong to a Dou Emperor. With your current strength, going there would be too dangerous. Why not wait until those people leave before we go over?"
Xiao Yi Xian, standing to the side, did not know how to persuade Xiao Yu. Then she turned and saw the deeply worried look on Cai Die's face. She found it rather strange, but said nothing.
Xiao Yu slowly shook his head. "Since Big Brother and Second Brother think this way, wouldn't everyone else in Shi Mo City think the same?"

Yet Xiao Ding and Xiao Li were still worried, so Xiao Yu could only say, "Don't worry.
