Chapter 152 Ya Fei's Test
"No! Her last name is Xiao, and her given name is Xiao Lan. She always dreamed of becoming an alchemist. She had been tinkering with how to make medicine before, so she seldom showed up. Recently, she happened to make some healing medicine, so people called her the Little Medical Fairy. It's really embarrassing to say that." Xiao Yan said with a smile.
"Hmph! At least the medicine I prepared can heal injuries!" The Little Medical Fairy sensed something was wrong and said very cooperatively.
"You call that healing medicine? I'm afraid any healing herbs we get from the mountains are better than what you prepared!" Xiao Yan said with contempt.
"Then you can't figure it out either! You are just jealous!" said the Little Medical Fairy angrily.
"Okay! Okay! Stop arguing!" Xiao Zhan said from the sidelines, trying to smooth things over.
"So that's how it is! But I heard from someone some time ago that Wanyaozhai and the Wolf Head Mercenary Group in Qingshan Town were destroyed by a mysterious man, and it seemed that it was because they kidnapped Xiao Yixiang." Ya Fei nodded and spoke immediately.
"Maybe some powerful man couldn't stand it anymore and just killed them! After all, kidnapping an underage girl is a serious crime!" Xiao Yan said with a smile.
"Maybe!" Ya Fei chuckled and nodded, then smiled and said, "We have been begging for mercy for so long, it's time to go back!"
"Ms. Yafei, Master Gu Ni, why don't you have dinner before leaving? I haven't thanked you properly yet!" Xiao Zhan politely tried to persuade them to stay.
"Haha, no. I've been out for so long, and there are still many things waiting for me to deal with at the auction house." Ya Fei declined politely.
"Yan'er, it seems that Ya Fei is quite interested in you!" Xiao Zhan said to Xiao Yan while looking at Ya Fei's departing back.
"Yes! From what she said just now, it is not difficult to see that she has been testing you!" The Great Elder nodded.
"But why is this? It seems that Ya Fei and Xiao Yan have only met a few times!" The second elder asked puzzledly.
"I also feel a little strange, but this time, except for Ya Fei and Gu Ni, other forces are more or less paying attention to Yan'er's test results!" The third elder frowned slightly and said softly.
"It seems that Yan'er was right to hide his strength! And since last year, there have been spies around the Xiao family." Xiao Zhan stroked his beard and said in a deep voice.
"Then wasn't I just..." The Little Medical Fairy said self-reproachfully.
"Haha, it doesn't matter! She will know whether you say it or not. With the strength of their Mitre Auction House, isn't it easy to find out anything?" Xiao Yan touched Xiao Yixian's head and said comfortingly.
"Yeah! It doesn't matter! Even if it's exposed, what does it matter!" Xun'er comforted with a smile.
"Don't blame yourself! Given the attitude of Mitre Auction House towards our Xiao family, knowing this will only be more beneficial to our Xiao family." Xiao Zhan also said with a smile.
In fact, Xiao Yan doesn’t really care whether his identity is exposed or not. It’s better if it is not exposed, so that the Xiao family will be safer.
But it doesn't matter if it is exposed. Now that Xiao Yan has already confronted Xiao Xun'er, it won't be difficult to ask Xun'er to send a few Dou Huangs or even Dou Zongs.
However, Xiao Yan only asked Old Ling to guard the Xiao family, and did not let Xun'er send anyone else. After all, in the Jia Ma Empire, Ling Ying's strength was already top-notch.
Besides, the Xiao family is not weak now! Even if Dou Wang wants to destroy the Xiao family, it is not so easy. Now Xiao Yan has done what he should do for the family. If the family still cannot be helped, Xiao Yan will not continue to waste his efforts.
How can you see the rainbow without going through the storm? After Xiao Yan returned to the family, he did not take the initiative to help the family deal with the Jialie family and the Oba family.
Because it is totally unnecessary. If the Xiao family can still be defeated by the Jialie family with the help of Xiao Yan's elixir, then it can only be blamed on the Xiao family's incompetence. Xiao Yan is not a nanny and cannot protect the Xiao family for a lifetime.
After the test was over, the spies from each major family returned to their own families to report.
Among them were spies sent by the Nalan family. After all, ever since Xiao Yan broke through to the Fighter level and defeated Nalan Yanran last year, they had been paying close attention to Xiao Yan.
But after defeating Nalan Yan, Xiao Yan rarely showed up. It was only during this family test that Xiao Yan took the initiative to show up.
Imperial capital, Nalan family.
"What did you say? Xiao Yan is only a three-star fighter now!" Nalan Jie was a little surprised after listening to the report from his subordinates.
This is no wonder. The shock that Xiao Yan brought to Nalan Jie last year was too great. He was promoted from the third level of Dou Qi to Dou Zhe within a year, and defeated his granddaughter Yanran. This also greatly increased his expectations of Xiao Yan.
Of course, it was precisely because Xiao Yan’s talent was so terrifying that Nalan Jie had been hesitant about whether to take action against the Xiao family.
In Nalan Jie's opinion, with Xiao Yan's talent, as long as he did not die young, it would not be difficult for him to break through to become a Dou Huang powerhouse.
If Nalan Jie really took action against the Xiao family, the two families would become mortal enemies. If Xiao Yan took revenge in the future, the Nalan family would not be able to bear it.
But now Xiao Yan has only used a year to improve two stars. This talent cannot be said to be bad, it can only be said to be very average.
"Father, do you think Xiao Yan deliberately concealed his strength and cheated?" Nalan Su, who was standing next to Nalan Jie, frowned slightly and said in confusion.
"I thought so at first, but there will be no mistakes in testing the magic stone tablet. If you want to cheat, you need to have very delicate control over your fighting spirit, unless you reach the level of a great fighting master. Only a great fighting master can control his fighting spirit to perfection and release it, so cheating is naturally a piece of cake." Nalan Jie said slowly shaking his head.
"If he can reach the level of Fighting Master within a year, there is still a slight possibility. But to reach the level of Grand Fighting Master, that is simply impossible. I have never seen anyone who can improve to two major realms in a year!" Nalan Su shook his head and laughed.
"It seems that his strength increased so quickly last year. He must have used some means. Either he took some elixirs, or Xiao Zhan forcefully infused him with fighting spirit." Nalan Jie said disdainfully.
"It's a pity to use this method of consuming potential to forcibly improve strength!" Nalan Su shook his head and said with some regret.
"Hmph! I don't care if he improves his strength, but he used such despicable means to defeat Yanran, bringing shame to our Nalan family and making Yanran's position in the Yunlan Sect unstable. We have to be angry about this!" Nalan Jie said with a gloomy face.
Nalan Jie had been holding back from revenge on the Xiao family for so long because he was afraid of Xiao Yan's talent for cultivation. But after learning that Xiao Yan's talent for cultivation was average, Nalan Jie could no longer suppress his anger.
"Father wants to take action against the Xiao family? But if we take direct action, we will leave a bad reputation! It seems not worth it to let our Nalan family be criticized by the world just to deal with such a small family as the Xiao family." Nalan Su frowned.
