Hearing Yao Chen agree... and seeing a wisp of eerie, pale white flame flicker from the storage ring... Xiao Yan couldn't hide the joy on his face.
"Thank you, thank you, teacher." "Hello, teacher." "Hehe."
After speaking, Xiao Yan looked at the Bone Spirit Cold Flame floating in the air, his face filled with undisguised excitement. He then took out a jade bottle and carefully put it inside.
After doing all this, Xiao Yan put on the mask and then put the storage ring on his hand. Only then did he slowly prepare to leave.
Just as Xiao Yan was preparing to take the alchemist level assessment, little did he know...
The recent exposure outside has caused a stir within the royal family. (Inside the royal council chamber)
An elderly man with graying hair was listening to the report from the person who had just entered.
After listening to the report from his subordinates, a barely perceptible hint of killing intent appeared on Xing Tian's aged face.
However, Jia Xingtian did not speak immediately... Instead, he looked at the other side of the girl who was wearing tight black stockings and had a rather heroic air about her.
"Tianye, tell me, how should this matter be handled?"
As for Princess Guan Ye, Jia Xingguan had always groomed her to be his next successor in charge of military power.
Upon hearing this, Tianye first frowned and pondered for a moment... then said calmly, "Great-Grandfather, in my opinion..."
"Let's hold back for now. According to the people below... the person who came this time is very likely a Dou Zong."
"After all, only a Dou Zong can achieve the ability to step into the void and disappear instantly."
"If we rashly launch a city-wide search... it will definitely displease them... and if a fight breaks out in the city, we will definitely be the ones who suffer."
After Tianye's analysis, Jia Xingtian became increasingly satisfied with his granddaughter, who loved leading troops into battle. "Alright, I'll do as you say."
Please follow through. Immediately execute Princess Tianye's orders. All city guards remain stationary... Without my order, do not alert the enemy.
Chapter 287 Idiot Xiao Yan
After giving all the instructions, Jia Xingtian turned his gaze back to Princess Tianye.
"By the way, where's your sister, Tianyue? I haven't seen her anywhere."
Just then... Jia Xingtian suddenly remembered that he still had a granddaughter he hadn't seen.
Normally, he dotes on this little princess the most. Upon hearing this...
Princess Tianye also sighed and rubbed her forehead.
"I don't know... but she should have gone to the Alchemist Guild. With Guild Master Fa Ma there, nothing should happen."
Princess Tianye was helpless when it came to her younger sister.
He's usually very mischievous... plus he has his great-grandfather, Xing Tian, backing him up.
Even she, as the older sister, couldn't do anything about it... "Hmm! What if something unexpected happens?"
"We should go and bring Tianyue back... otherwise I'm afraid..." He heard that only that old man Fa Ma was by his side with his little darling Tianyue.
Jia Xingtian felt a pang of worry... about the others. He could disregard them.
But Tianyue was someone he raised with utmost care... What if something unexpected happens to her? Then he, as her great-grandfather, would be in trouble.
Thinking of this... Jia Xingtian also became anxious.
He immediately prepared to walk towards the balcony... to transform his battle aura into wings... and go to the Alchemist Guild to bring Tianyue back.
However... before Jia Xingtian could make a move, Princess Tianye reached out and stopped him. "Great-Grandpa... flying over so openly like this... I think it's very likely to attract the attention of the visitors. They're... while we're openly..."
"If we don't first ascertain their location... going out rashly will not only fail to bring Guan Yue back, but will also attract the attention of our spies."
"Think about it... the other party is a Dou Zong. Even if you go, it will be of no use."
"It would be safer to ignore Tianyue for now... After much persuasion, Xing Tian's initial agitation gradually subsided."
Jia Xingtian is good in every way... except that he cares too much about Guan Yue. When it comes to anything related to Tianyue, he tends to act impulsively.
After hearing Princess Tianye's explanation, Jia Xingtian slapped his forehead in annoyance. "I'm getting old."
"You didn't even think of this?"
"Looks like we still have to rely on you young people."
Thinking about his impulsive actions just now, Jia Xingtian felt somewhat guilty.
It has to be said... Guan Ye is now more suitable to be the leader of this royal family than he is.
"Let's not talk about that anymore. Let's quietly send some people to inform the rest of the royal family."
Guan Ye didn't want to respond to Xing Guan's words... After all, although she was good, she still knew her own limitations. After all... she was only a Dou Zhu (Battle Master) at the moment.
They simply couldn't suppress the ambitions of those old fogies in the capital, let alone in the Gama Empire...
There's also the Yunlan Sect, which is on par with the royal family. ... Their former sect leader is currently in seclusion, undergoing a breakthrough.
Even Yun Yun is a Dou Huang powerhouse... she, a Dou Wang, is simply not someone she can control. If Jia Xingtian is gone, the royal family will definitely be devoured by the other major families in the capital.
"Okay... whatever you say."
Jia Xingtian was also very satisfied with the Tianye he had trained.
Naturally, they don't want to interfere too much. At the same time...
The Alchemist Guild. Xiao Yan asked around and finally found the place.
However, at this moment, Xiao Yan also looked awkwardly at the crowd of people coming and going from the Alchemist Guild. "Teacher... what should I do?"
There was no invitation or letter of recommendation. It seems I can't get in. Xiao Yan originally wanted to go directly in and then take the exam...
As a result... they were stopped by two guards with spears at the entrance.
This left Xiao Yan awkwardly watching, and it wasn't surprising that the two of them were like that...
The two people on the other end were only looking at the alchemist's badge, not at the person.
Seeing Xiao Yan, this suspicious-looking person, walking over, they naturally had to stop him.
After all... who would be so kind as to wander around wearing a tattered mask? It's obviously not normal.
Inside the storage ring... after hearing Xiao Yan's complaints... Yao Chen also uttered a complaint.
This is such a hassle. I have to do it again... This is fucking ridiculous.
They finally got a short rest... but before they'd even had a chance to rest for long... Xiao Yan, that troublemaker... started nagging. Complaints aside, Yao Chen still had to go out.
Otherwise, the task cannot be completed.
It also transformed into a transparent soul and floated out.
As soon as I came out... I saw that idiot Xiao Yan standing to the side, grinning like a fool.
In response, Yao Chen slapped him across the face. "Hey my ass!"
"Can't even do the smallest things right."
"Even Yao Chen doesn't know what to say." "Hehe, teacher. I just don't know."
"How was I supposed to know this wretched place required an alchemist's badge? I had no other choice but to come and beg you."
Touching the back of his head where he'd been hit... Xiao Yan chuckled sheepishly. He dared not continue arguing with Yao Chen.
After all... anyone with eyes could tell that Yao Chen was angry... if you touched a nerve now... you might get a good beating.
Chapter 288 Young Luo Baby and Little Princess Tianyue
Upon hearing this, seeing Xiao Yan's show of weakness, Yao Chen felt embarrassed to say anything more.
They immediately turned their attention to the crowds coming and going from the Alchemist Guild.
I glanced at Xiao Yan's attire. Especially at the ugly mask on his face.
Yao Chen forced a smile... and then he understood.
Xiao Yan's attire made him look like a country bumpkin visiting the city, which naturally made him unpopular with others.
Especially... that bronze mask that only revealed a pair of eyes. "This place is quite grand."
It's understandable that you can't get in.
As he spoke, Yao Chen shook his head, recalling all the things that had saddened him before finally managing to stop laughing.
Xiao Yan, oblivious to Yao Chen's sheepish grin, stepped forward and asked, "Then what do we do now, Teacher? We don't have a letter of recommendation or an alchemist's badge."
"I... I can't get in either." "How about I just take you in?"
In fact, Yao Chen didn't know how to get in either.
There will be no one else to help. If we force our way in, Yao Chen will definitely be fine.
It's just that... Yao Chen didn't want to let Xiao Yan get away with it. Yao Chen isn't the tragic hero from the original story; how could he possibly go out of his way to pave the way for Xiao Yan?
"Huh? √?! Then let's forget about it. It feels like that... might cause a lot of trouble." Xiao Yan decisively rejected Yao Chen's suggestion.
He believed Yao Chen could get him in... but what about when he came out? What if someone saw him... and he might be questioned? That would definitely cause a lot of trouble.
He didn't want his teacher to expend too much of his fighting spirit to help him.
Otherwise, too much energy would be wasted... what if Yao Chen fell into a deep sleep? However... Xiao Yan didn't know... that Yao Chen was now a Dou Zun. The amount of Dou Qi he consumed was just a drop in the ocean.
Just as Xiao Yan and Yao Chen were at a loss for what to do... suddenly, a fragrant breeze wafted over.
"What are you doing here, all all over the place?" "What are you muttering to yourself about?"
The sound rang out. Yao Chen and Xiao Yan, whose thoughts had been interrupted, also turned their gazes in that direction.
Just then, a petite figure in a long purple dress with gold trim stood in front of him... "Wow! Pinghou!!! Shao Luo Baobao!"
Yao Chen was also stunned by the sudden appearance of the little loli.
A pair of delicate feet encased in purple ankle socks...and covered by silk stockings...and wearing thick-soled, kidney-shaped shoes...
Following the jade-like feet upwards, Yao Chen couldn't help but praise...
Wow, those legs and that waist! Really impressive.
However... Yao Chen was pleased with what he saw, but Xiao Yan suffered.
"Hey hey...are you talking about me?"
Upon seeing the little girl who had suddenly appeared before him, Yan pointed to himself in confusion.
"Otherwise...who else is here besides you? Are you some kind of idiot?"
As she spoke, Princess Tianyue also took a few steps back in disdain.
Xiao Yan was already dressed in cold clothes, and he also wore a strange mask. No wonder Princess Tianyue disliked him.
Already habitually arrogant and domineering, Princess Guan Yue had absolutely no concept of respect. Therefore, her words showed absolutely no consideration for Yan.
Uh! I was just saying this when Xiao Yan was feeling incredibly awkward...
A slightly aged voice broke through the silence. "I'm sorry, young brother, my disciple's personality is like this. I hope you won't take offense."
As soon as he finished speaking... Chemir walked out from the crowd.
Along with them came... the two guards standing watch at the entrance of the Alchemist's Guild... "Master..."
"This person is very strange; he's been talking to himself here until he sees that the newcomer is the vice president of the alchemist guild... who is also his teacher..."
Princess Tianyue then calmed down a bit. She immediately pointed at Xiao Yan and said it aloud. Hearing this, Xiao Yan was somewhat embarrassed.
He didn't expect that simply talking to the teacher in a corner would attract attention.
Yan scratched the back of his head. He also turned his gaze to Yao Chen. However... at this moment, Yao Chen's gaze was entirely on Princess Tianyue.
As a soul entity, those with low strength here wouldn't even be able to detect him.
In response, Yao Chen scrutinized Princess Tianyue for a while. Seeing Xiao Yan looking over, Yao Chen simply shrugged.
Then he transmitted his voice, saying, "Even I can't help you... You'd better find a way yourself."
"Maybe if we befriend this old man, we can slip in..." Yao Chen had no time to care about Xiao Yan right now.
All attention was focused on Princess Tianyue's two slender, fair legs.
