Chapter 398
Whether it was the Bai Family or the Dan Family, the alchemists sent were all below Xiao Yan in strength. This time, he only needed to get into the top three in the assessment to keep the Ye Family's status, which meant the Ye Family had passed the test.
"The Cao Family has arrived!"
Just when Ye Zhong thought victory was in sight, a loud shout rang out in the hall.
Just as this shout fell, quite a few people in the hall stood up from their seats, full of smiles. Nowadays, among the five great families, the Cao Family was the most powerful, and the Cao Family Enchantress was someone who would become a giant of the Pill Tower in the future.
Xiao Yan also turned his head and looked toward the door of the hall. Only then did he see the tightly closed door slowly being opened, and a graceful figure walking out with lotus steps.
The woman's body was slender, wearing a black dress, her skin as white as snow, her face full of cold arrogance, the whole person looking enchanting and charming.
"Is this the Cao Family Enchantress? She does look good, but compared to Medusa, there is still some gap." Xiao Yan looked twice and then lost interest directly. Xiao Yan had seen too many beauties and was already a bit immune.
The young man's unique performance attracted Cao Ying's attention. Although quite a few people had pretended to be cold over the years to attract her attention, these people had all been defeated under her pomegranate skirt and became like dogs.
However, after passing the position of the Dan Family, she stopped, looked at the young girl behind Dan Xuan, and said with a faint smile: "Sister Dan Chen is also here! This assessment has produced a dark horse. I wonder if Sister Dan Chen is interested in participating?"
Actually, if Xiao Yan knew Cao Ying's thoughts, he would definitely shout injustice. After all, he just compared Cao Ying with Medusa; Cao Ying was indeed not as good as Medusa.
As for not shaking hands with Cao Ying, did Xiao Yan dare? Xun Er and Little Doctor Fairy went shopping together every day, and this assessment wasn't a big deal, so naturally, he didn't call the two of them together. Who knew they would shop until they got here?
As soon as Cao Ying's voice fell, the hall was instantly silent. Cao Ying usually disdained participating in this kind of assessment, but today she was interested.
However, this young man in a golden brocade robe was clearly different, because coldness and disdain were completely different. One was pretended, and the other was an unconscious expression.
The people in the hall heard Cao Ying's words and were instantly shocked. This matter was only known to the people of the five great families at the time, plus the Bai Family deliberately covered it up, so not many people knew. At this time, Cao Ying completely exposed it, which was playing with fire.
The people in the hall saw Xiao Yan refusing to even give his hand to Cao Ying and were instantly stunned. In this Sheng Dan City, I estimate there was no one who dared to do this, right? You must know Cao Ying's teacher was one of the three giants of the Pill Tower! Daring to offend Cao Ying, this was clearly not wanting to mix anymore, right? Country bumpkin! Too lack of vision.
Xiao Yan was also a bit confused at this time, not understanding how he attracted this Cao Family Enchantress. However, out of politeness, he still extended his hand. But just as his hand was extended halfway, he saw a white and a green figure looking at him with a smile.
What made them drop their jaws even more was that Cao Ying actually took the initiative to extend her jade hand. Being able to touch this jade-like hand was a great honor! This young man made a huge profit.
The five great families were incomparably well-informed, and Xiao Yan's heroic deeds naturally couldn't be hidden from them. It was just that they hadn't seen Xiao Yan before. Now seeing Xiao Yan standing with Ye Zhong, how could Cao Ying not understand? The one in front of her was the biggest dark horse this time.
Xiao Yan's body shivered, his extended hand was instantly retracted, and then he scratched his head, looked at Cao Ying, curled his lips, and said: "Xiao Yan!"
Because in this way, the Bai Family and Xiao Yan would be completely irreconcilable. After all, such a great shame, if there was no action, how could their Bai Family have the face to be in the position of the five great families?
However, the Bai Family clearly didn't dare to provoke the Cao Family and transferred all their hatred to Xiao Yan.
"So ruthless!" Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes, looking at Cao Ying. It turned out this person was not only beautiful but also a ruthless person.
The black-clothed woman's lazy eyes constantly scanned the hall. Those scanned by her felt fire in their hearts.
Cao Ying saw Xiao Yan refusing to even shake hands and felt she had been offended, her chest hurting. Before, she thought she had misread, but now it seemed Xiao Yan really disliked her! Otherwise, he wouldn't have refused to even shake hands.
Cao Ying saw the fiery gazes in everyone's eyes, a smile on her lips, seemingly enjoying the feeling of being the center of attention. However, when she shifted her gaze to a handsome young man in a golden brocade robe, she discovered there was no fiery look in the young man's eyes, and there was even a trace of disdain in his expression.
Sure enough, the people of the Bai Family heard Cao Ying's words, and looking at the reaction of the people in the hall, their eyes instantly turned blood-red. Cao Ying's words could be said to have directly pressed their Bai Family's face to the ground and rubbed it.
In public, being so shameful, Cao Ying had never experienced it in her life. At this time, the anger in her heart had been completely ignited, and she swore to give Xiao Yan a profound lesson. However, she didn't show all this on her face. After withdrawing her arm, she looked at Xiao Yan and said with a faint smile: "You are Xiao Yan? The one who beat the Great Elder of the Bai Family half to death?"
Xiao Yan looked at the pairs of eyes full of murderous intent from the Bai Family, a cold sneer on his lips. He didn't care too much either, turned around directly, and followed Ye Zhong to the Ye Family's exclusive seat.
Cao Family Enchantress, Cao Ying, one of the future three giants of the Pill Tower. The Cao Family had its current status, and this Cao Family Enchantress contributed the most.
Cao Ying took a deep breath, and under the gaze of the crowd, walked with lotus steps to Xiao Yan, extended her right hand, and said with a faint smile: "I am Cao Ying, may I ask who you are?"
Cao Ying saw Xiao Yan had no fear of the Bai Family's hatred, her eyes narrowing slightly. She was becoming more and more interested in this Xiao Yan who had appeared out of nowhere. Her lotus steps moved slightly, and she also walked toward her own seat.
The people in the hall saw this Cao Family Enchantress suddenly become interested in this young man of the Ye Family and were instantly stunned, a look of disbelief.
Ye Zhong heard Cao Ying's words and also felt his heart jump. Although Cao Ying making a move wouldn't change anything, one shouldn't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case!
Dan Chen was originally a bit reserved, but once alchemy was mentioned, she instantly became energetic. Her gaze shifted to Xiao Yan, and she also had some longing in her heart, then nodded.
After the Cao Family also took their seats, the ground in the hall suddenly started to shake. The seats of the five great families were like a huge floor, slowly moving backward. Before long, an extremely spacious square appeared in the center of the hall.
