Chapter 56: Chance Encounter

During the time the two were talking, a fair jade hand reached out from the carriage curtain, and a beautiful figure walked out of the carriage slowly.

"Nalan Yanran!" Xiao Yan looked at this familiar figure, and a complex look appeared on his face, but it flashed away.

Although only three months had passed since Nalan Yanran came to the Xiao family to break off the engagement, Nalan Yanran was very different from when she went to the Xiao family at this time. Nalan Yanran at that time was so arrogant and aggressive, but now she looked haggard, her brows furrowed, looking pitiful, and her eyes were slightly red and swollen.

"I didn't expect that the matter at that time would have such a big impact on her!" Xiao Yan sighed in his heart.

Ever since Nalan Yanran went to the Xiao family, bad things happened one after another. First, she was defeated by Xiao Yan, and then she was forced to sign a cancellation agreement. After returning to the family, she wanted to cry to her grandfather, but her grandfather learned that Nalan Yanran had done such a shameful thing, was so angry that the Lao Poison suddenly erupted, and then fell ill, causing the entire family to fall into panic.

The people of the Nalan family saw that Nalan Yanran made Old Master Nalan Jie fall ill and put the family in crisis, so how could they give her any good looks.

The Nalan family sought medical advice everywhere and spent a lot of money to hire many high-level Alchemists to help Nalan Jie treat his illness, but unfortunately, the effect was minimal, so they had to let Nalan Yanran go to the Yunlan Sect to invite Pill King Gu He to come.

"I didn't expect Brother Liu to have reached the level of a Second Grade Alchemist!" Yao Yue said with a smile.

Nalan Yanran finally invited Gu He to help Nalan Jie see a doctor, but Gu He also didn't cure Nalan Jie and told Nalan Yanran that only Exotic Fire could remove the Lao Poison in Nalan Jie's body. But this method was about the same as not saying it. The rarity of Exotic Fire was self-evident, and no one in the entire Gama Empire had ever heard of anyone possessing it.

"Let me introduce you to someone. His name is Nie Feng. Among the people I know, he is the only one whose alchemy talent is about the same as yours, and he is specially cared for by President Fama! The pills he refined are even very appreciated by President Fama!" Yao Yue walked to Xiao Yan's side and introduced playfully.

"I am only a First Grade Alchemist; how can I compare to you? You are the disciple of the Pill King Elder!" Xiao Yan replied indifferently.

Looking at Nalan Yanran's somewhat cold eyes, Xiao Yan's gaze no longer dodged, looked directly at Nalan Yanran, and said with a smile: "Yeah! My name is Nie Feng!"

"That's right, I'm also going to become a Second Grade Alchemist today!" Yao Yue said proudly.

"I have met Vice President!" The two walked to Qie Mi Er and bowed respectfully.

Seeing that Nalan Jie was about to die, the Nalan family would also lose the qualification to stay in the Imperial Capital like the Xiao family did after Xiao Lin died, gradually falling into a third-rate force.

"I rub! Won't it really give me a 'thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, don't bully the young girl' later!" Although Nalan Yanran was haggard in body at this time, Xiao Yan noticed a trace of perseverance in Nalan Yanran's eyes. Xiao Yan thought to himself. How high a person's final achievement is depends not only on their talent, but more importantly on having a persevering heart.

"Doesn't the Little Princess also come to participate in the assessment?" Liu Ling said with a faint smile.

Nalan Yanran's Soul Perception was also very strong, and she seemed to notice someone watching her, suddenly raising her head, her eyes shooting directly at Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan was like a nightmare, continuously torturing her. Nalan Yanran walked slowly to Xiao Yan's side and asked in a deep voice: "Your name is Nie Feng?"

"Actually able to get President Fama's appreciation, it seems Mr. Nie Feng is not simple! Why don't we have a match after the assessment." Liu Ling heard the Little Princess's praise for Xiao Yan and learned that Xiao Yan could actually get Fama's attention. Coupled with the fact that Nalan Yanran was very concerned about Xiao Yan just now, he was also furious, and the folding fan in his hand was clenched a little tighter.

Liu Ling asked: "Yanran, do you know that person?"

Nalan Yanran's strange behavior attracted the attention of Liu Ling beside her. Today, he invited Nalan Yanran to witness him becoming a Second Grade Alchemist. Although Nalan Yanran was focused on Nalan Jie and naturally didn't want to go, under Liu Ling's soft and hard persuasion, she still agreed to accompany him to the Alchemist Guild.

Nalan Yanran was like the Xiao Yan in the original work, when she was in a trough, those who originally flattered and praised her all became mocking and sarcastic.

Hearing Xiao Yan's voice, Nalan Yanran's eyes, which were as sharp as an eagle, looked at Xiao Yan again. Because she was too familiar with this voice. In these three months, Nalan Yanran's mind always had Xiao Yan's figure, that teenager who was more arrogant than her, his voice, his confident smile, his every move, could almost be said to be carved into Nalan Yanran's bones.

These things, one after another, hit Nalan Yanran, like mountains, pressing Nalan Yanran so that she couldn't breathe, making her originally arrogant personality gradually smoothed out, and her body began to lose weight day by day.

But when Nalan Yanran returned to the sect to seek help, only her teacher Yun Yun cared about her, and others were mocking her behind her back. The people who originally flattered her because of Nalan Yanran's status and status also began to mock her secretly, laughing at her for being a waste, not even being able to beat a waste young master of a small family, simply bringing shame to the sect.

"I don't know him, just feel a bit familiar!" Nalan Yanran shook her head and shifted her gaze away.

Liu Ling told Nalan Yanran that the Alchemist Guild gathered so many Alchemists, and someone must know who possessed Exotic Fire. And it happened that President Fama was also in the Alchemist Guild. With President Fama's knowledge, the probability of knowing who possessed Exotic Fire was greater.

But as soon as Nalan Yanran came to the Alchemist Guild, her eyes were fixed on a teenager, which made Liu Ling feel a bit jealous. Nalan Yanran was just in need of help and care, and this was also the best time to attack Nalan Yanran. After all, a woman who was hurt was always the easiest to open her heart.

After all, Xiao Yan had brought a lot of trouble to the Nalan family; if he were discovered, wouldn't they want to tear him apart?

The two looked at each other, and Xiao Yan shifted his gaze away somewhat awkwardly. He didn't expect that the two could meet in this place. Although Xiao Yan's appearance had changed greatly now, the eyes were the windows to the soul. If he were recognized by Nalan Yanran, wouldn't it be very embarrassing?

Although Xiao Yan's gaze shifted away, Nalan Yanran's gaze, which was as sharp as an eagle, never left Xiao Yan.

"Let's not stand outside; let's go in and talk!" Qie Mi Er saw that Nalan Yanran was somewhat hostile to Xiao Yan and said hurriedly.

Nalan Yanran saw that Vice President Qie Mi Er intervened, so she temporarily put away her suspicious heart. After all, coming to the Alchemist Guild this time was to ask for help.
