Before they could finish apologizing, Xiao Yan raised a hand to stop them.
He smiled at the group. "No need for that. I only came to see how you were getting along. You were deep in discussion, so I didn't want to interrupt."
Gu He, Fa Ma, and the others looked moved.
The alliance leader has so much to do, yet he found us teachers and even made time to check on us. He's simply...
If Xiao Yan had known what they were thinking, he might have blushed.
"Seeing you all get along so well puts my mind at ease," Xiao Yan said with a smile.
The Flame Alliance was no small organization now. As a vital support arm, the Alchemist Guild had to keep pace.
"Rest assured, Alliance Leader. We'll improve our Alchemy as quickly as we can. We won't let you down!" Gu He, Fa Ma, and the others said, bowing respectfully.
Xiao Yan nodded. "I have some time today. I can answer your questions."
The Flame Alliance was flourishing, and he had just acquired another Heavenly Flame. In such a good mood, Xiao Yan decided to give them some guidance.
The group trembled with excitement.
From the Dan Family Alchemists, they had learned that their alliance leader had reached the Ninth-Tier.
The Ninth-Tier! That was the stuff of legend.
To receive guidance from someone like him would make even death worthwhile!
Every one of them was hundreds of years old, yet they bounced about like children.
"Form a line. One at a time," Xiao Yan said, smiling at their reaction.
The old men lined up obediently, as though waiting for lunch, and eagerly awaited their turn.
The commotion also drew the attention of some younger people in the distance.
Yao Yue and Liu Ling were among them.
