[Dou Po] I heard that the young master has a secret

Looking at the man in black robe who came in, Xiao Zhan and the three elders hurriedly walked out from the table, stepped forward quickly, and said with a respectful smile: "Old man, things are busy in the clan, Xiao Zhan has not come out to greet you, and I hope you can see him." Forgive me."

"Hehe, there's no need to be polite." Under the black robe, the old voice smiled faintly.

Xiao Zhan nodded eagerly, winked at the three elders, hurried out of the way, and said with a smile: "Old gentleman, please sit up."

The black-robed man nodded with a smile, and he walked straight up and sat down in the first seat next to him.

Seeing Xiao Zhan and the others treat the black-robed man with such respect, the younger generation of clansmen couldn't help whispering, their curious gazes kept sweeping over the black-robed man, and when they heard the After the elders revealed the identity of the black-robed pharmacist, their pupils immediately became hot and adored. No matter where they are, pharmacists are always the most awe-inspiring profession.

"Sister, isn't that person the mysterious alchemist I saw at the auction that day?" Xiao Ning stared at the black-robed man with shining eyes, and said eagerly, pulling Xiao Yu's sleeve.

"Yeah." Xiao Yu nodded slightly, her beautiful eyes were fixed on the black-robed man, and her pretty face was slightly pleasantly surprised: "I didn't expect this old gentleman to really come to our Xiao's house. It seems that the last time he The words of cooperation are not casual, if he helps, the Xiao family's predicament this time should be resolved smoothly."

Xiao Miao, apart from practicing daily practice, cleaned the yard and chatted with Xiao Xun'er. She didn't know anything about Xiao Yan's visit to the auction a month ago and the encounter with the elders of the Xiao family. Spreading flowers happily and showing various admiration, she tugged on Xiao Xun'er's sleeve, and blinked twice in Xiao Yan's direction.

Xiao Xun'er explained, "A few days ago, Uncle Xiao Zhan and the elder went to the auction. This old gentleman in black robe is a famous pharmacist, and his level should not be low. He once said that he would cooperate with the Xiao family."

Xiao Miao nodded.

"Hehe, old man, I don't know why you came to Xiao's house today?" Xiao Zhan asked with a smile after serving a cup of warm tea himself.

"I happened to be passing by here, so I wanted to come over to see that talented young man in your family who has been able to jump for several stages with a little foundation-building liquid from me."

At this time, there was a wave of large and small discussions among the clan, "Didn't Xiao Yan's fighting spirit drop to the eighth stage fighting spirit again?"

"Could it be that the Foundation Establishment Spiritual Liquid rebounded?"

Xiao Zhan's face was sullen, but the invisible pressure gradually intensified as his face became darker and darker. When everyone stopped talking, he smiled awkwardly at the man in black, "I made you laugh."

"I've already met Young Master Gui. He's a very nice young man, and he really likes the old man." Waving his hand, the man in black smiled and said with a smile, but he didn't hide the admiration in his tone. With the Xuanzhong Ruler given by the old man, that Xuanzhong Ruler can suppress Dou Qi, so in the eyes of outsiders, his strength is indeed only Level [-] Dou Qi, Clan Chief Xiao can rest assured."

Hearing the words of the man in black, Xiao Zhan's face was filled with a smile, except for a few traces of reassurance, and there was a little bit of complacency in his eyes.

"Hehe, Patriarch Xiao, the Xiao family seems to be in a bad situation recently?" The smile on Xiao Zhan's face hadn't fully spread, and he was hit by the old voice and became a little dull.

Nodding sullenly, Xiao Zhan said with a wry smile: "Surely the old man should know the current situation of the Xiao family, right?"

"Well, I know a little bit. Your young master and I can get along quite well. If the patriarch Xiao is not afraid of the old man's bad idea, we might as well cooperate?" the man in black laughed lightly.

Hearing this, Xiao Zhan was startled at first, and then his face was full of ecstasy. He held back his stomach, didn't he just want to say this sentence.After exchanging glances with the three elders excitedly, he nodded without hesitation, "Mr., the Xiao family can't wait to cooperate with you!"

Seeing Xiao Zhan's statement, the man in black nodded with a smile. An old hand protruded from the black robe. There was a light red ring on his finger. His fingertip flicked on the ring. Immediately, The light flickered.

In the blink of an eye, the huge conference table was covered by neat little jade bottles without any gaps.

"Here are 280 and three bottles of healing medicine, Congealing Blood Powder. Although I dare not say that it is the best in healing medicine, but compared with the Jialie family's Huichun Powder, the healing effect is more significant." Looking at the hall In those shocking eyes, the black-robed man still introduced softly as if nothing had happened.

The corner of Xiao Zhan's mouth twitched, and he took a deep breath of the cold air, "This is the real generosity!"

In the silent hall, fiery eyes stared intently at the thousands of small jade bottles on the table. Almost no one present had ever seen such a large-scale elixir with their own eyes.

Looking at the hall that was completely silenced by the pills on the table, the man in black coughed lightly, waking up Xiao Zhan beside him.

"Uh." His face was slightly flushed, Xiao Zhan smiled awkwardly, looking into the eyes of the man in black, there was a trace of awe, he was able to take out thousands of bottles of healing medicine, this kind of skill is not unusual A pharmacist can do it.

"Mr., you also know the current situation of the Xiao family. We need healing medicine to bring back the lost popularity. This move of the old man is undoubtedly a timely help for our Xiao family." Xiao Zhan sighed gratefully.

It wasn't until Xiao Yan signaled Yao Lao not to talk any more, that Yao Lao decided to share the final profit with the Xiao family, and he would not keep any more after that.

The members of the Xiao family peeped at each other, and their burning eyes focused on Xiao Miao. The second elder coughed twice and said to Xiao Miao, "Xiao Miao, when did Xiao Yan know this old gentleman?"

Xiao Miao was at a loss for a while, until Xiao Xun'er poked her in a place where no one was paying attention, Xiao Miao stood up, lowered her head, "Back to the second elder, the third young master has been practicing in the back mountain for nearly two months. , I don’t know when this old gentleman met the young master.”

The big and small asked a few more questions to make sure that Xiao Miao was not lying. The third elder waved his hand, indicating that the meeting would be over.

After the Xiao family received a large amount of healing medicine secretly supported by Xiao Yan, although they didn't make any noise on the surface, secretly, they were already preparing for a counterattack against the Jialie family.

What was seen in the family hall that day has been strictly sealed by Xiao Zhan and the three elders. The matter of healing medicine has also been listed as the highest standard of prohibition. No one in the clan can tell the outside world, otherwise Must be dealt with by family rules.

However, following the silence of the Xiao family for the past two days, the behavior of the Jialie family has become more and more arrogant, using various methods without any scruples, trying to pull away all the remaining merchants in Xiaojiafang City.

Regarding this, the Xiao family remained silent.

Seeing the Xiao family's weak and silent behavior, some small forces on the same front began to become disappointed, and secretly, they also quietly prepared some wise and safe actions.

In this kind of weird atmosphere, two days passed quietly.

On the third day, Xiao Yan brought Xiao Miao to the Xiao family's Fangshi.

Along the way, Xiao Yan was carrying the strange-looking Xuan Chongru, which attracted constant sideways glances, and this person walked ahead indifferently and happily.Xiao Miao who was behind was very nervous and followed closely behind Xiao Yan.

The destination is a noodle restaurant.

"Boss, I want two bowls of five-spice minced pork noodles!" Xiao Yan shouted with ease.

The proprietress came out from the back kitchen, carrying the teapot, and chanted with a smile, "Master Xiao Yan brought Miao girl over for dinner again today!"

"Yes." Xiao Yan greeted with a smile, looked at the people coming and going, and then asked the proprietress who was busy cleaning the table, "Are there more people today than a few days ago?"

"I heard that the healing medicine sold by Xiao's family is very popular. It's not that there are more people at the beginning. The business was not easy a while ago!"

At this moment, a few people chatted up, "Miss Boss, don't you know that the pharmacist of the Jialie family was killed by someone last night, and news came out of the Jialie family before dawn today?" .”

"I guess I offended someone, and the first-grade pharmacist got rid of it so easily."

"The Xiao family has really become Wu Tancheng's monopoly this time, but the Xiao family's healing medicine this time is really effective, and the price is reasonable."

Xiao Miao broke apart the wooden chopsticks and glanced at Xiao Yan, who had already started to eat.

Swipe your finger across the table.

—Is it the young master?

Xiao Yan puffed his cheeks, raised his eyebrows, and nodded with a smile.

He also stretched out his finger and swiped a few times casually.

——It was the teacher who helped me.

After the meal, Xiao Yan compensated the boss for the small wooden stool that he sat on because the Xuanzhong ruler was too heavy, and began to drag Xiao Miao around the market.

"Hey, isn't this the young master of the Xiao family? I haven't seen you for a year. I heard that you finally got rid of your reputation as a waste?" Before anyone saw him, he heard Galeo's sinister laughter.

"Galeo, if you don't go home and follow your father, then find some kind of pharmacist and come to our Xiao family's square market to do!"

"Heh, these medicine pills in your house are not on the table. The young master came here to smash the signboard, so what can you do to me?"

Rubbing his face with his palm, Xiao Yan was too lazy to talk nonsense, and raised his hand at the guards of the Xiao family hiding in the crowd, and said: "Fight, since they dare to come to our Xiao family's territory to make trouble, then we don't have to be polite, otherwise So as not to be laughed at."

Seeing Xiao Yan's actions, Galeo's face changed slightly. He never expected that Xiao Yan would dare to be serious. He rolled his eyes and sneered, "I thought you had grown a lot, but it turns out that you are still a person who can only rely on your subordinates." It's just trash."

"Your aggressive general is very low-level." Xiao Yan waved the iron rod in his hand, lowered his eyebrows and did not look at him.

"If you want to be considered a radical, then you must be a radical. A waste like you is not qualified to be with Miss Xiao Miao." Galeo sneered, a cold light flashed quietly in his eyes, with malicious intentions Said: "You should have undergone a coming-of-age ceremony. That is to say, I challenge you now, and you have no reason to refuse?"

In the end, Xiao Yan agreed to the challenge, Jia Lieao was deposed, his father Jia Liebi stepped forward, and Xiao Zhan also ran out.

"Yan'er, have you met that old gentleman recently?" Xiao Zhan asked while hooking Xiao Yan's shoulder on the way back.

Lazily raising his eyelids, Xiao Yan said in a muffled voice, "Yes, see you." After a slight silence, he added, "He said he planned to take my disciple."

Hearing Xiao Yan's last words, Xiao Zhan stopped in his tracks, looked at Xiao Yan, stared at the young man with a wonderful face, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said in disbelief: "You said he would accept you as a disciple?"

Rolling his eyelids, Xiao Yan nodded.

Xiao Zhan rubbed his hands excitedly on the spot, "I knew my son was not an ordinary person, damn it, whoever dares to say my son is a waste in the future, I will shoot him to death on the spot!"

Seeing Xiao Zhan's happy appearance for himself, Xiao Yan was also happy from the bottom of his heart, and said softly: "In one and a half months, I will go out to practice with my teacher, and I am afraid that it will take a year or more before I come back."

"Ah?" Xiao Zhan was taken aback, the smile on his face gradually subsided, he frowned, and asked hesitantly, "You don't plan to apply for Canaan Academy anymore? It's a famous advanced academy in Douqi Continent. If you can get in, It's very good for you."

"I will apply for the exam, but I may miss classes for a year or two." Xiao Yan touched his nose, "Although Jia Nan College is very good, I still want to listen to the teacher's advice and go outside to practice myself."

"Oh, by the way, father. This time, I will bring Xiao Miao with me when I enroll in Canaan Academy." When he approached Xiao Yan's own yard, he dropped these words and left.

Both Xiao Miao and Xiao Zhan froze in place, looking at each other.

"That's all, you follow this kid, at least you can watch him when he's messing around." Xiao Zhan acquiesced to his son's thoughts, rubbed Xiao Miao's head, "little girl, don't always spoil Xiaoyan like that son."

Half a month later, news spread from Nalan's family, which was said to be Nalan Yanran's original words.

"I, Nalan Yanran, have one person to do things and one person to be responsible. Now that Xiao Yan has risen again, 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, in order not to make my father feel ashamed and worry about me, I made an agreement with Xiao Sanlang for a period of three years from the moment of Heli. Years, three years from now, you and I will fight at the Misty Cloud Sect. If I win, then Xiao Sanlang is still not as good as me, and Eldest Father will no longer be so regretful; if Xiao Yan wins, it will definitely be what I did in the past Reckless. But I still say that, I have my own happiness and the right to choose my destiny."
