Chapter 395

Ye Zhong seemed to see Xiao Yan's impatience and hurriedly explained with a smile: "Hehe, Mr. Xiao Yan, please wait here for a moment. Although our Ye Family has fallen, we have acquaintances in the Pill Tower. Let me go and say hello."

At this time, Ye Zhong could be said to be very respectful to Xiao Yan; after all, if Xiao Yan was unhappy and left directly, it would be game over.

However, Ye Zhong was clearly overthinking. Since Xiao Yan had promised, he would definitely help. Besides, Xiao Yan did indeed need an alchemist badge to participate in the Alchemist Grand Meeting. The badge from the Gama Empire definitely wouldn't work; it had no authority at all.

Ye Zhong saw Xiao Yan agree and didn't delay too much, directly going to find an acquaintance to smooth things over.

Xiao Yan looked at Ye Zhong's back, feeling a bit of emotion in his heart. No matter where you go, it's easier to get things done with acquaintances; after all, connections are the most precious resource.

Finding someone to smooth things over took some time. Xiao Yan wanted to take this opportunity to walk around, but just as he turned his head, he felt something drill directly into his arms.

"Ah!" A slightly sickly voice rang in Xiao Yan's ear. Xiao Yan looked down and discovered it was actually a weak young girl.

Their eyes met, and the girl was so scared she retreated repeatedly. However, because she was too flustered, she lost her balance and fell backward.

Xiao Yan saw this and hurriedly reached out to pull her. However, the girl saw Xiao Yan reach out, a look of horror appearing on her face, and shouted: "Don't!"

"Hmm?" Xiao Yan was instantly a bit confused. However, his hand had already grabbed the girl's hand. Just as Xiao Yan was a bit confused, he suddenly felt a terrifying suction force coming from her palm, as if it wanted to swallow Xiao Yan's soul.

Xiao Yan's brows furrowed, and he used the Three Points Return to Origin Qi to wrap his arm, and the suction force disappeared.

"Are... are you okay?" The girl hurriedly broke free from Xiao Yan's arm and asked suspiciously.

Xiao Yan looked at the girl in front of him and saw the badge on her chest, having a guess in his heart. He then smiled faintly and said: "Hehe, I'm fine!"

"That's good! That's good! Sorry about just now!" The girl patted her chest, saying with lingering fear, then her small face turned red, and she turned and ran away.

Xiao Yan saw this scene, his eyes widening, and he shook his head helplessly. This was truly too socially anxious!

"Mr. Xiao Yan, I have already arranged it, but..." Just as Xiao Yan was laughing, Ye Zhong's voice rang out behind Xiao Yan.

Hearing this, Xiao Yan turned around instantly, only to find Ye Zhong's face was not good, and he asked suspiciously: "But what?"

"I have smoothed things over, but today people from the Bai Family and Qiu Family are participating in the test. These two families were not as good as the Ye Family before, but now they have turned over, so they naturally mock the Ye Family. I don't mind, but Mr. Xiao Yan..." Ye Zhong said embarrassedly.

"I thought it was something! We came to participate in the test; what does it have to do with them? If they go too far, I will naturally let them know how red the flowers are!" Although Xiao Yan was cautious, it depended on who it was. At this time, the five great families had no deterrent power to Xiao Yan at all.

Hearing this, Ye Zhong's mouth twitched. The person in front of him was not one to suffer losses; he could be said to have a stomach full of bad ideas, and when he messed with people, he didn't hold back at all. Along the way, some families were not weaker than their five great families, but they still suffered in Xiao Yan's hands.

Xiao Yan and Ye Zhong, under the surprised gazes of the crowd, followed a special passage, passed through a corridor, and arrived at an extremely spacious room.

"Jie jie, didn't expect you to bring people to participate in the assessment again this year. It seems others also know this errand is quite shameful!" Just as Xiao Yan and Ye Zhong entered the room, an extremely sharp and mean voice rang in their ears, sounding extremely harsh.

Xiao Yan looked toward the source of the sound and saw an old woman in gray clothes, grinning with a mouth full of yellow teeth, looking at the two with mockery in her eyes.

Behind this old woman stood three young men in white, two men and one woman. The woman in white had an arrogant face, and seeing Xiao Yan and Ye Zhong appear, a look of disdain appeared on her face.

"This old woman is from the Bai Family. Every time the Ye Family comes for a test, they can't avoid her mockery." Ye Zhong said with a helpless bitter smile.

Hearing this, Xiao Yan didn't feel surprised. After all, when you are strong, naturally countless people will suck up to you, but when you fall, these people who sucked up to you will mock you more fiercely than anyone else, because they want to regain the dignity they once lost. Xiao Yan knew this point especially well and had experienced it personally.

Xiao Yan's gaze shifted, looking toward another place, where three people were looking at them with the same mockery as the Bai Family, very thick.

"Those are people from the Qiu Family!" Ye Zhong followed Xiao Yan's gaze and introduced.

"Hehe, have the people from the Ye Family arrived too?" At this time, a purple-robed old man saw Ye Zhong, and a smile appeared on his face. Clearly, his relationship with the Ye Family was good.

"Troubling Elder Han Li again this time!" Ye Zhong bowed to the purple-robed old man and said politely.

"Why are you and I being so polite." Hearing this, the purple-robed old man waved his hand and then turned his gaze to Xiao Yan, looking him up and down: "Is this the person you brought? Looks quite extraordinary!"

"Greetings to Elder Han Li!" Xiao Yan bowed to Han Li and performed a salute.

"I cannot accept such a great salute! If what Ye Zhong said is true, I will have to look up to you in the future!" Han Li had heard of Xiao Yan's deeds from Ye Zhong. At first, he didn't believe it, but Ye Zhong was his good friend for many years and definitely wouldn't lie to him. Plus, a great battle had indeed occurred in Ye City, and the Pill Tower's news was extremely well-informed. They had also heard about things happening around the Pill Tower; after all, Xiao Yan's deeds had already spread in the Pill Tower.

"Elder Han Li is too kind!" Xiao Yan glanced at Ye Zhong, knowing he must have told Han Li about his deeds. However, Xiao Yan didn't care; after all, this matter couldn't be hidden, and there was no need to hide it.

"Truly bluffing, not even a level badge, don't know which country bumpkin place he ran out from!" The old woman of the Bai Family saw Han Li and the Ye Family people chatting and laughing, and directly mocked.

"Elder Han Li, does the Pill Tower also raise dogs? Why do they bite people when they see them?" Xiao Yan raised an eyebrow, a cold sneer on his lips.

"Sigh! You old woman, who shouldn't you provoke, but you had to provoke this living Yama. You really can't afford to provoke this living Yama!" Ye Zhong saw the Bai Family old woman mocking Xiao Yan and instantly mourned for her for three minutes.

Han Li was also slightly stunned. Before, Ye Zhong said Xiao Yan was not easy to provoke, and he didn't believe it. Now he finally believed it. No wonder Ye Zhong warned him repeatedly not to offend Xiao Yan!

However, this matter had nothing to do with him, and Han Li also wanted to see if Xiao Yan was as powerful as Ye Zhong said, so he just watched the fun from the side.
