Yao Chen's words struck straight at Xiao Yan's heart, making it beat faster.
When Xiao Yan was not being impulsive, he was still very calm, and once he calmed down, he regained his old steadiness, and his brain was no longer just for show.
He stared at Yao Chen with burning eyes. Since the mysterious expert before him had brought this up, he probably had a way to give him a chance to catch up.
"Of course. It's just, why should I teach you?"
Yao Chen nodded. If it was only to make Xiao Yan surpass Nalan Yanran, there was no need for a whole year. After all, Nalan Yanran was not that person in the distance currently hurrying toward the mountain.
Hearing this, Xiao Yan frowned and began to reason with him.
"Senior made me fall to such a state. Shouldn't you compensate me?"
When Yao Chen heard those naive words, not only was he not offended, he actually laughed. This was more like a little child. That earlier maturity really had not resembled a boy barely in his teens.
As if he had only just realized it, he showed a look of sudden understanding, then rummaged through his Storage Ring for quite a while before taking out a red scroll and saying, "Compensation? If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten. Hmm, let me see. Here, an Earth Tier Mid-Grade Fire Attribute cultivation technique. It's more than enough to compensate you. Between us, can we call it even?"
Hearing this, Xiao Yan was startled inwardly, and raised his estimation of this mysterious expert's origins by a great deal.
The Earth Tier Cultivation Technique this mysterious expert had taken out did not sound all that different from the Mysterious Tier, High Grade techniques he could come into contact
