Chapter 248: Meeting an Old Friend Again

In the silent night, in a room, the candlelight flickered slightly, reflecting a beautiful face. She was wearing a white brocade robe, and her whole body exuded a cold and mature style, and her beautiful eyes were full of temptation.

The dazzling candlelight made the beauty on the bed open her eyes involuntarily and turn to look at the suddenly burning candle.

I saw a blurry figure sitting at the table, holding a wine glass in one hand and pillowing his cheek with the other, looking at her.

When she saw who it was, the beauty on the bed was shocked and exclaimed: "Who are you?"

"Don't waste your energy! The sound can't be transmitted!" After taking a sip of wine, the person said with a light smile.

"Are you Nie Feng?" The woman looked at the man in front of her and asked.

"Uh... is my disguise so bad?" Xiao Yan was speechless. How could everyone he met recognize him at a glance!

"Heh, being able to enter my room without knowing it, and being so calm, except for you, I really can't think of anyone else. After all, the map of the Imperial Palace was given to you by me. If there was no map, even if you looked for it for three days and three nights, it would be difficult for you to find my residence." Yao Ye got up and walked to Xiao Yan, looked at him up and down, and said: "Should I continue to call you Nie Feng? Or Xiao Yan?"

Xiao Yan naturally knew that his identity could not be hidden for long, but he didn't expect it to be exposed so quickly.

"You can choose not to do it!" Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows, looked at Yao Ye, and said lightly.

"Forget it!" Xiao Yan sighed helplessly. Such a situation was actually expected long ago. Unless others were fools, it would be exposed sooner or later, it was just a matter of time.

"No!" Xiao Yan said seriously.

"I will help you control the Gama Empire and tell you the whereabouts of your father, only asking you to spare my great-grandfather's life!" Yao Ye was like a ball that had been drained of all strength, paralyzed in the chair.

"Do I have a choice?" Yao Ye laughed at herself, as if she had heard the funniest joke in the world.

"You were actually discovered by you! Not bad, I do have a group of people under my command to help me inquire about news, and I also found out a bit of news about your father, but why should I tell you?" Yao Ye looked at Xiao Yan and showed a cunning smile.

"It seems it was because of me that your great-grandfather chose to take action against the Xiao family." Xiao Yan smiled bitterly.

"You are wrong! If it was really my great-grandfather who took action, it was definitely not because he found out you were Xiao Yan that he took action against your Xiao family. There must be other reasons. Because my great-grandfather has always wanted to win you over, it was I who took the initiative to deal with you! With my great-grandfather's cautious personality, he would not take the initiative to provoke you." Yao Ye said seriously.

Even if Xiao Yan didn't participate in the Alchemist Grand Meeting, it wouldn't work; Nalan Yanran's strength at this moment was estimated to be at least a Great Dou Master or even a Dou Ling;

Unless Xiao Yan deliberately lost the game and then left the Imperial Capital in a gray manner, it would definitely be discovered that Xiao Yan was extraordinary.

"So you know it was your great-grandfather who took action?" Xiao Yan looked at Yao Ye with gloomy eyes.

"I have to say, you hide deep enough! But more than a year ago, the Great Elder of the Mittel Clan, Mittel Tengshan, went to Wutan City. After returning, he began to provide many conveniences to your Xiao family, including settling your people. Although he did it very secretly, how could it be hidden from me? There is no wall that doesn't leak in the world. As long as you go to Wutan City to inquire, it is easy to recognize you, because the pills you refined are too easy to identify. This is also a loophole you left behind!" Yao Ye looked at Xiao Yan and said.

"Then what about my antidote?" Yao Ye said, tears of unwillingness flowing in her eyes.

"I really want to know, Wutan City is thousands of miles away, how did you know that the Xiao family had an accident? Weren't you restricted by your great-grandfather? Such a small matter, it is difficult to alarm you!" Xiao Yan glanced at Yao Ye, wanting to hear her answer.

"It seems this identity can't be hidden for long!" Xiao Yan smiled bitterly.

Yao Ye could never forget the scene when the poison in her body broke out. There was no pain, no struggle, only despair.

"You tell me, I will help you kill your great-grandfather and help you regain power!" Xiao Yan looked up at Yao Ye and said.

"Antidote? I thought you asked someone else to help you solve it! So I didn't help you refine it!" Xiao Yan scratched his head, indicating that he had forgotten.

"Unless you don't take action, don't refine pills, don't expose your talent, otherwise it is easy to guess that it is you. After all, there are not so many monster geniuses in the Gama Empire!" Yao Ye looked at Xiao Yan, who was dressed so flashily, and pursed her lips and smiled.

"I know what you want to ask, but half a year ago, my great-grandfather just came out of seclusion and took away the power in my hands. I have no power in my hands now. And my great-grandfather doesn't let me ask about anything he does, nor does he tell me. His temperament has also changed greatly, becoming so that I can't understand it." Yao Ye said helplessly.

"Don't look at me with this kind of vision, I'm just guessing! But didn't you know long ago that your family would be captured? Why are you so anxious now?" Yao Ye naturally knew Xiao Yan's little movements.

"Call it whatever you want, I think you should know my intention!" Xiao Yan said flatly.

Don't take action? Is it possible? Whether it is the Alchemist Grand Meeting or the competition with Nalan Yanran, it will be exposed, it is just a matter of time.

"This depends on whether he is sensible!" Xiao Yan touched Yao Ye's chin and said lightly.

"You! You are a devil!" Yao Ye got up directly and looked at Xiao Yan with anger.

"Heh, help me regain power? I'm afraid you want me to help you control the Gama Empire!" Yao Ye said with contempt.

"I am very puzzled, how did you know I was Xiao Yan? It seems I have never taken the initiative to expose it!" Xiao Yan really wanted to know if it was his exposure that led Jia Xingtian to take action against the Xiao family, or if it was the people from the Soul Hall who let Jia Xingtian take action.

That kind of gray hair overnight, becoming an old woman full of wrinkles, was too terrible, especially for a woman like her, it was simply a hundred times and a thousand times more terrible than death.

"You are the only one who can guess my mind, so I can only treat you like this! Otherwise, I won't be at ease! But don't worry, as long as you cooperate well, I will naturally not let you break out again, but will give you unexpected power and status! With your original intelligence, you can only show off in this small Gama Empire, but I can give you more!" For the woman in front of him, Xiao Yan both admired her mind and appreciated her beauty. But for a woman who puts power first, Xiao Yan naturally has to use means to control her.
