Chapter 3: Xuan-level Advanced Technique, Nong Yan Jue

"Uncle, aunt, sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time." Xiao Chen walked in quickly from outside with his hands full of gifts.

How did Xiao Chen become like this?
Xiao Mei glanced at him quietly, her eyes full of disappointment.

He is not as tall as Xiao Ning, and not as handsome as Xiao Ning.

Moreover, at this time, he was still wearing the clothes of a servant of the Xiao family. To be a guest at someone's house, let alone a brocade robe, didn't he even have a decent set of clothes?

This made Xiao Mei very disgusted.

"What a fool you are, kid. You're here just like that, but why are you bringing anything with you? Come and sit down. Just treat this place as your own home." When Xiao Dahu saw that Xiao Chen brought a lot of things, a smile immediately appeared on his face. He quickly stood up, took the gifts, and arranged for Xiao Chen to sit down.

When Aunt Wang saw Xiao Chen sitting next to her, she immediately moved aside, as if Xiao Chen would dirty her clothes.

Xiao Chen saw all of this, and it was exactly what he wanted. He had heard about Aunt Wang's glorious history since he was a child, and Xiao Chen even thought she was dirty.

If not, Xiao Dahu's identity as the chief butler would be useful to him temporarily, allowing him to enter and leave the Xiao Mansion freely. He would not come to give gifts if he did not have to do endless work all day and affect his daily sign-in.

"Xiaochen, you should listen to your uncle more in the future. Your uncle will not treat you unfairly."

"Yes, yes..." Xiao Chen nodded repeatedly, but he disagreed in his heart.

During the meal, Aunt Wang spoke to Xiao Chen for a few more words. Seeing that he just nodded and agreed with everything she said and had no opinions of his own, she was completely disappointed in him.

In my heart, I couldn't help but compare him with the kid named Xiao Ning from the elder's family. The two of them were simply like heaven and earth. Xiao Ning was not only talented in practicing fighting spirit, but also handsome and could always make me laugh, which was very refreshing. Unlike this kid, he was just a dull boy.

The meal was eaten quickly,

After eating, Xiao Chen stood up and said goodbye.

He had already achieved the purpose of coming here today, so there was no need for him to stay here and refuse to leave.

……

Early the next morning, hundreds of servants in green clothes stood neatly in the yard. Today was the first day of the month, and the Xiao family's chief steward was going to give them a lecture and assign them tasks.

Xiao Dahu is nothing in the eyes of the clan leader and elders, but in the eyes of these servants, he is a big shot. The saying "the county magistrate is not as good as the current manager" refers to people like him.

Otherwise, why did Xiao Chen give this old man a gift yesterday?

It's not that he has seen through everything.

Since I can't escape from his control for the time being, I might as well get along well with him.

"Xiao Chen, from today on, you will be responsible for cleaning the Xiao family's backyard. Remember, the backyard is where the Xiao family members live. Once you are there, you must be diligent and responsible, and don't be lazy."

Xiao Dahu read out Xiao Chen's name expressionlessly, and gave some serious instructions in a businesslike manner.

For a moment, many eyes fell on Xiao Chen, some were envious, some were surprised, and more were jealous.

Cleaning the Xiao family's backyard is the easiest job among all the chores, because the backyard is inhabited by the families of the clan leader and elders, and there are naturally maids to clean it, so there is no need for them. They just need to pretend to walk around every day.

Then you can go anywhere you want and no one will care. Is there any job more enjoyable than this?

After Xiao Dahu finished speaking, Xiao Chen went to the backyard with a broom.

After walking around the backyard, he finally found out where Xiao Xun'er lived.

However, he ran back and forth three times, but did not see Xiao Xun'er once.

what's up?
What about people?

Are you going out to play with Xiao Yan again?
Forget it, forget it.

Xiao Chen chose to sign in directly.

[Successful sign-in, reward 'Blood Coagulation Powder'.]
Blood coagulation powder?
Healing medicine?
What use do I have for this thing???
Xiao Chen thought about it and realized that it must be because he didn’t sign in next to Xiao Xun’er.

On the third day,
Xiao Chen finished his work early and then wandered around the Xiao Mansion with the purpose of meeting Xiao Xun'er by chance.

Hard work pays off. After wandering around the Xiao Mansion for a long time, he finally found Xiao Xun'er, but Xiao Yan was also there.

Xiao Chen followed for a while and found that Xiao Xun'er had no intention of leaving alone. He couldn't follow her all the time, so he could only sign in.

[Successful sign-in, reward 'Foundation Building Spirit Liquid'.]
Lying trough,

How could it be this thing? Xiao Chen looked down and saw a small bottle in his hand. He looked up at Xiao Yan again. This should be from Xiao Yan.

At night, when Xiao Chen was taking a bath, he took out the foundation-building spiritual liquid from the system space, poured a little into the wooden tub for bathing, and used it as shower gel. It couldn't be wasted.

After Xiao Chen jumped into the wooden barrel, he smelled the fragrance coming from it, which was a bit like the shower gel he used to have.

Without wasting any time, Xiao Chen tried to practice his fighting spirit.
Sure enough, with the help of the foundation-building spiritual liquid, he felt that his cultivation speed was much faster than before.

While taking a bath, he was wondering why he got Xiao Yan's foundation-building spiritual liquid when he clearly wanted to sign for Xiao Xun'er's martial arts?
Is it because of the distance?

It seems that I should stay closer to Xiao Xun'er next time, or sign in when she is alone.

She was rarely alone, except when she went to Xiao Xun'er's place at night.

But there is no reason. Who would sweep the floor at night? Either he is a psychopath or a peeping Tom!
Moreover, a servant like him would be severely beaten if caught without any hesitation.

Xiao Chen plans to go earlier next time.

On the fourth day, just after dawn, Xiao Chen ran to Xiao Xun'er's yard with a broom.

While Xiao Chen pretended to clean Xiao Xun'er's yard, he signed in secretly.

[Successful sign-in, reward 'Nong Yan Jue'.]
After obtaining the martial arts technique, Xiao Chen just glanced at it and directly chose to store it in the system space.

It is too dangerous to stay in Xiao Xun'er's courtyard for long. You know, there is a Dou Huang protecting her in secret.

As soon as he lifted his feet, he heard voices coming from the room.

"Miss, I just got the news that Yunlan Sect's Nalan Yanran will come to cancel the engagement soon."

"Oh? Is this a good thing or a bad thing?"

"I think this matter has nothing to do with us, so we should get the Tuoshe Ancient Jade as soon as possible..."

"If it's related to Brother Xiao Yan, it's related to me. I won't allow anyone to hurt Brother Xiao Yan. But if Nalan Yanran cancels the engagement, wouldn't that be a good thing for me..."

……

After returning, Xiao Chen saw that there was no one in the yard, so he bolted the door and took out the Nong Yan Jue. An ancient scroll with the color of fire jade appeared in his hand.

"This is the advanced Xuan-level technique with fire attributes."

Xiao Chen was amazed.

No time wasted, learn immediately.

As soon as he finished learning, Xiao Chen immediately had all the memories about the Flame Art in his mind, without having to take any detours. Xiao Chen happily began to practice.

While he was practicing, a noisy voice came from the courtyard:

"Hurry up……"

"What happened?"

"Someone came to provoke me!"

"Who is so brave? And you came to my house, are you looking for death?..."

Is it Nalan Yanran who came to cancel the engagement?
Damn, how come it’s so fast!
Xiao Chen immediately jumped off the bed and rushed out in his slippers.

He didn't go to watch the fun.
He did it to gather his energy and disperse it.

The Qi Gathering Powder is the best guarantee for becoming a fighter, and he needs it right now. After all, the system is not a luck-making machine, and if the Qi cyclone fails to be condensed, a lot of time will be wasted.

Suddenly, Xiao Chen stopped in his tracks. He suddenly remembered that he had just signed in today and could only sign in tomorrow.

Lying trough,

It's so unlucky.
