The next day, early morning.
At the main gate of the Evolver Pavilion, Beike Misaiya, following Xiao Tian's instructions, was so excited that she couldn't sleep all night. She got up early and brought her daughter, Oulunna, here right on time.
" Nana, you're about to become Evolver! And you'll have a very powerful teacher!"
Beike Misaiya knew very well that since the mentor was appointed by the city lord, he must be a capable person.
He was absolutely convinced!
"Halt! You cannot enter! Please show your identification!"
Beike Misaiya was taken aback, looked at the security guard, and quickly said, "Excuse me, I'm not a staff member here. I'm here with my daughter to see someone."
"A visit? Please register first."
"Okay, how long will it take before I can see you?"
"Who are you looking for?" the security guard asked coldly. As Evolver, he could tell that these two were not Evolver at all. The arrogance and superiority of Evolver made him look down on these two from the bottom of his heart.
Beike Misaiya was taken aback again, and after thinking for a moment, he remembered.
"Find Nangong Yanrou."
"Huh?" The security guard was taken aback, his face turning icy cold. He waved his hand, shooing the Human Path away, "Here we go again, looking for trouble! Get out of here! Don't make me take action!"
Oulunna said with a dissatisfaction, "Uncle, we really came to find someone, not to cause trouble. It was the city lord who sent us to find someone."
"Lord City Lord?" The security guard was taken aback, then burst into laughter, a mocking glint in his eyes. He sneered, "Anyone who knows the Lord City Lord would be an ordinary person! Not even Evolver, yet you think you can use our great, wise, and mighty Lord City Lord to swindle and deceive? What do you think the Evolver Pavilion is? Get out of here! I'll give you three minutes! In three minutes, I'll personally kick you out!"
Beike Misaiya quickly shielded his daughter behind him, his face filled with anger. "Dude, how can you be like this? We really are here to see Nangong Yanrou, please believe us!"
"Bullshit! Laozi want Laozi to believe you? If I believed you, I would have been stripped of my hat and uniform long ago! Do you know how many people come here every Tenten trying to sneak into the Evolver Pavilion? I'm only doing this because you brought a girl. Your tricks are so low-level. You have two minutes, get out of here!"
Beike Misaiya gave a wry smile. He'd been mistaken for a fraud. What was he going to do now? How was he going to get in?
"Dude, we can skip going in, but could you please deliver this letter to Nangong Yanrou?"
Seeing the determined plea in Beike Misaiya's eyes, the security guard softened his tone and said indifferently, "Give me the letter, leave your contact information, and you can leave now."
"Thanks, bro!"
Beike Misaiya led Oulunna away from the gates of the Evolver Pavilion and waited expectantly in a more secluded spot.
The security guard looked at the letter in his hand, his curiosity piqued, and couldn't help but tear it open to take a look. His expression changed drastically upon reading the contents.
"You bastard, are you courting death? Who do you think Nangong Yanrou is? The person who wrote this letter is far too arrogant!"
"If this letter ends up in Nangong Yanrou's hands, am I doomed?"
The security guard turned pale, strongly suspecting this was a conspiracy by those people to ruin him.
Thinking of this, he was filled with rage. He tore up the letter and burned it with a lighter.
At noon, Nangong Yanrou arrived at the entrance of the security room with her brows furrowed.
"Did anyone look for me today? It was a father and daughter."
Upon hearing this, the security guard was stunned, as if struck by lightning, and completely lost his composure.
Why did Nangong Yanrou come in person, and specifically ask to see a father and daughter?
"Lord Nangong, there is indeed a father and daughter, but considering the rules and regulations of the Evolver Pavilion, I asked them to leave their contact information and will contact them again after confirmation." The security guard couldn't help but recall the father and daughter who came around 10 a. m. This father and daughter were dressed very elegantly and had excellent temperament. It was obvious that they were from a noble family. They said that the daughter wanted to become Nangong Yanrou's apprentice.
He had thought it impossible before, but now it seems to be true!
"Lord Nangong, I'll contact them immediately!"
"Hmm, just have them come directly to my office," Nangong Yanrou said coolly, then left.
The security guard felt a cold sweat running down his body, almost collapsed, and his heart was pounding. He was truly terrified.
"Thank goodness! Thank goodness! Thank goodness Lord Nangong didn't blame us!"
He was terrified and immediately contacted the father and daughter.
Nangong Yanrou returned to her office and spoke with Xiao Tian.
"What's so special about the disciple you sent me? Lately, all the elders of the Evolver Pavilion have been training quite a few disciples, and one woman even treasures her. Xiao Tian, you didn't happen to know I was in trouble and just happened to send me this as a bonus, did you?"
On the other end of the phone, Xiao Tian was taken aback, then chuckled, "Beautiful Nangong, what other woman could possibly trouble you? How amusing. But the student I'm sending you has a special constitution, so you'll have to be careful."
"Special physique? I'm really looking forward to it. Speaking of which, the woman who's been bothering me isn't exactly a nobody either. She's from Phoenix City, the head of one of the three major local families. Although her cultivation is slightly inferior to mine, she's also a pharmacist, and coincidentally, she's entered her golden age as a pharmacist right now."
"It's her! I remember now. Old Long mentioned her to me. This woman's potions are quite good and have a great effect on Luo Cheng. She's currently an elder in Luo Cheng's cabinet."
"It's her. Speaking of which, we used to be best friends. Her students are extremely talented, even more so than her in pharmacist studies. She often bragged about it to me. Although I usually looked down on them, I was still quite annoyed inside." Nangong Yanrou complained like a little woman at the end.
"Ha, she's just a pharmacist. As long as you teach that little girl well, she can become an alchemist."
Nangong Yanrou was surprised. There was a world of difference between a pharmacist and an alchemist. The lineage of alchemists was extremely rare. Even the Three Great Sage Lands were nothing special. The elixir formulas recorded were all top secret. Most importantly, the requirements for an alchemist's innate physical constitution were too demanding. They needed to have wood in the fire element of the five elements, and their mental strength had to be at least 1.5 times that of an ordinary Evolver.
Previously, it was extremely difficult for alchemists in the Three Great Sage Lands to pass on their skills; at one point, the lineage even went out for two hundred years. However, it was during this period that several old alchemists, who thought they had no descendants, found promising candidates.
" Xiao Tian, you're a real blessing! If what you said is true, then I really have to thank you. I can finally vent my anger! Humph! You have no idea how arrogant that woman was!"
Xiao Tian felt ashamed.
"No need for thanks, just don't cause trouble on my turf."
Nangong Yanrou said irritably, " Xiao Tian, although I am an elder of the Biyou Palace, I am now the director of the Evolver Pavilion and an elder of the inner cabinet. I would never do anything bad to Luo Cheng."
"Hehehe, just kidding. I'm busy right now, let's talk next time."
After Nangong Yanrou hung up the phone, there was an unexpected knock on her office door. She sensed it and found it was a father and daughter.
"You're here! What a coincidence!"
"Come in." As Nangong Yanrou spoke, she adjusted her posture, sitting in her office chair with a cool and dignified air, gazing at the entrance.
A father and daughter entered the room, both looking extremely excited.
" Nangong Yanrou, hello! I am..."
Nangong Yanrou ignored the middle-aged man's words, staring intently at the girl with her beautiful eyes, scrutinizing her closely, even using her spiritual perception.
"Wait a minute, that's not right. Although he has the talent to become Evolver, and the talent is decent, it's definitely not top-tier talent."
Observing that the girl's mental strength was average, Nangong Yanrou stood up and appeared in front of the girl in Body Flicker Technique, grabbing her arm and feeling her bones to examine it.
Nangong Yanrou frowned, judging that the girl's talent was above average. Although she had the potential to reach the Shackle Realm in the future, it was not what she expected.
"Could it be that Xiao Tian tricked me?"
