Chapter 71: Master and Disciple Conversation

"I'll go out to deal with that old guy first, otherwise that old guy will be suspicious." Fama said.

"Hmm!" Xiao Yan nodded.

Xiao Yan looked at Fama's departing back and breathed a sigh of relief.

No one would have thought that Xiao Yan would encounter Gu He and the Imperial Family's group just by selling medicinal pills. This forced Xiao Yan to change his original plan, directly revealing his identity to Fama and letting Fama protect him.

If it weren't for Fama's protection, Jia Xingtian wouldn't be looking for Fama today, but for him, Xiao Yan. Facing a peak Dou Huang expert, and with no expert like Hai Bodong guarding him, unless he exposed Yao Lao, he would definitely be taken away by Jia Xingtian.

As for why Jia Xingtian didn't worry about the expert behind Xiao Yan.

"Hehe, just inviting your disciple to have tea, to fulfill the duties of a host, no bad intentions." Xiao Yan thought of the words Jia Xingtian would use to deal with him.

"This isn't my fault! I just wanted to sell some medicinal pills; who knew it would cause so many things! I don't want to be in the limelight, but my strength doesn't allow it!" Xiao Yan said helplessly.

"My skin is very thin, okay!" Xiao Yan argued.

Xiao Yan really just wanted to honestly sell some low-level medicinal pills, then detoxify Nalan Jie, get the Seven Illusory Green Spirit Saliva, and leave the Imperial Capital directly. But plans couldn't keep up with changes! He unexpectedly met the two princesses and the Pill King Gu He; this was something Xiao Yan hadn't expected.

"I can't say the relationship is deep! It's just that when I was traveling, his master pointed me out a few times, which benefited me a lot. To repay his master's kindness, I took extra care of his disciple." Fama said faintly.

And Xiao Yan was very grateful, which could be seen from his coming to the Imperial Capital this time. Although Xiao Yan never said why he came to the Imperial Capital, Yao Lao knew that it was very likely because of him, because Xiao Yan said he would give him a surprise as soon as he came to the Imperial Capital.

"Even prepared the apprenticeship gift for others, yet blame me for acting first and reporting later?" Xiao Yan curled his lips and muttered to himself.

"Alright, stop playing around." Yao Lao rolled his eyes and said.

"Hehe, does Teacher want to see Fama?" Xiao Yan put away his joking mood and said seriously.

"You would be embarrassed? Your face is thicker than all the city walls of the Gama Empire combined." Seeing Xiao Yan's shy appearance, Yao Lao had goosebumps all over.

"Old fox! It seems you really have a deep relationship with him!" Jia Xingtian narrowed his eyes and thought to himself.

After Xiao Yan caught the scroll, he smiled embarrassedly. Now was indeed not the time to meet.

When getting along with big figures like Fama, Gu He, and the princesses of the Gama Empire, Xiao Yan, a young master from Wutan City, could be so calm without a trace of timidity; even the young people from big families in the Imperial Capital couldn't do what Xiao Yan did.

Outside, after Jia Xingtian released his momentum, he waited for Fama to appear.

"Hehe, how did you think of coming to me, you old thing?" Fama walked out of the secret room, walked out of the room, and asked with a smile.

Fama took Jia Xingtian into this room. After the two sat down separately, Jia Xingtian said: "I heard from Yue'er and her sister that Fa Lao and that youth have a deep relationship; could you tell me his background?"

However, Yao Lao didn't worry about being hurt by Xiao Yan again, because from the various behaviors Xiao Yan showed toward Xiao Xun'er, it could be seen that Xiao Yan was a person who cared very much about feelings.

"Hehe, please come in!" Fama said politely.

"I'm so flattered by the praise!" Being praised by two old men in a row, Xiao Yan said shyly.

"Stinky brat, when did I say I had already taken Fama as a disciple." After Fama left, Yao Lao flashed and emerged from the ring.

"What is this?" Xiao Yan looked at the scroll in his hand and asked.

"Who told you to show off when your strength isn't enough? If something happens, who can you blame!" Yao Lao rolled his eyes and said unhappily.

Xiao Yan's sophistication made even Yao Lao feel very respectful. One couldn't see a trace of the impulsiveness that a young person should have in Xiao Yan; he was calm and composed when encountering things, not like a youth at all, but more like an old monster like him. Facing the engagement-breaking object Nalan Yanran, if it were anyone else, they would have been furious, but Xiao Yan could face it calmly. For Nalan Yanran's repeated doubts and tests, Xiao Yan could resolve them one by one, without revealing a single flaw throughout the process.

After Xiao Yan put away the scroll, he visited this secret room casually; after all, there weren't many precious medicinal materials like this usually.

"I can't come out for too long; those two outside are not simple. After Fama returns, you hand the scroll to him. I don't need to teach you what to say, right!" After Yao Lao instructed Xiao Yan, he turned into a beam of white light and entered the ring again.

"I am not suitable to see him now. When he returns, you hand this to him; it can be considered his apprenticeship gift. And do you really hope I see him now?" Yao Lao threw a scroll to Xiao Yan and said playfully.

"Isn't there no other way? If I don't say some nice things, I guess I would be completely finished this time." Xiao Yan said embarrassedly.

"This indeed can't be blamed on you. However, although you encountered many things, your way of dealing with crises truly makes me marvel. You could actually face these things so calmly and finally solve them perfectly." Yao Lao nodded and then praised.

And Yao Lao had a feeling in his heart that if it really came to being shrewd, he probably wasn't as good as Xiao Yan. Because he had been backstabbed by someone he had taught with all his heart.

"This is some medicine refining experience I summarized these days. You hand it to Fama; it should allow him to advance to a Sixth-Grade Alchemist." Yao Lao said slowly.

"I heard there is a gifted youth at your place, so I wanted to come and see him, and by the way, send the medicinal materials needed for refining medicinal pills." Jia Xingtian said with a smile.

"Old friend, it's been so long, won't you invite me in to sit?" Jia Xingtian continued to smile and said.

No one could know how many secrets and thoughts were stored in Xiao Yan's brain. This point was similar to that disciple who betrayed him.

"Originally, I was prepared to bring that kid to my place, but that little guy left halfway through because of something. Seeing him in such a hurry, I didn't force him to come over." Fama said with a smile.

"You know his master? Could you tell me who he is?" Jia Xingtian asked hurriedly.

"I don't know his name either. After all, when we were traveling, we met by chance and didn't mention each other's names. I only know he comes from Zhongzhou, and his strength is unfathomable. This feeling hasn't disappeared with the increase of my strength; instead, it has become even stronger." Fama recalled the scene of meeting Yao Lao at the beginning and said slowly.
