"Yan'er, you really are a pharmacist!"
Xiao Zhan looked at Xiao Yan and the pile of medicinal ingredients suspended in mid-air, his face filled with surprise.
"Uh..."
Xiao Yan's face immediately stiffened upon hearing this.
Me? A pharmacist? Since when?
He immediately shifted his gaze to Qi Yan'er. That little girl must have been talking nonsense! It must be her!
"Father, I..."
Xiao Yan was about to deny it, but he suddenly realized that if he denied it directly, there would be no way to explain things.
He straightened his back and replied, "That's right! Father, I am indeed a pharmacist!"
"Pfft~ Hahaha~"
As soon as Xiao Yan finished speaking, Qi Yan'er couldn't help but cover her mouth and giggle.
"You little brat, you really dare to admit anything~"
Her laughter was so pleasant, but to Xiao Yan, it was like nails on a chalkboard! This kid, again, looks down on me!
Even though I'm not a pharmacist yet, once I become a Dou Practitioner, I will definitely be a respected pharmacist!
How can I be laughed at like this? But Xiao Yan thought of Yao Chen's previous words, telling him to befriend this little ancestor! "Hehe~"
A never-before-seen flattery instantly bloomed on Xiao Yan's stiff face:
"You're right, Miss Yan'er!"
"I, Xiao Yan, am indeed not a pharmacist, Father, I lied to you."
"???"
Xiao Zhan stared fixedly at his son, who seemed a bit off. He immediately reached out and felt Xiao Yan's forehead.
"You don't have a fever! What's wrong, Yan'er?"
"Father, I don't have a fever. I'm fine."
Xiao Yan felt the warmth of the large hand on his head, and his cheeks flushed slightly.
He was, after all, a man in his thirties, and being patted on the head in front of so many people was incredibly embarrassing.
"Then what are you talking about? One minute you say you're a pharmacist, the next you say you're not?"
Xiao Zhan frowned and then pointed at the herbs floating in the air. "And what about these? Don't tell me you didn't do this!"
"Father, this…"
Xiao Yan was about to explain when Xiao Xun'er smiled faintly.
"Uncle Xiao Zhan, this really isn't his doing. The flame used to refine these herbs is a Heavenly Flame!"
"What? Heavenly Flame?"
Although Xiao Zhan was the head of a small clan in Wutan City, he had spent time in the imperial capital.
Therefore, he had heard of such a thing as Heavenly Flame!
"Xun'er, you said this is a Heavenly Flame?"
Xiao Zhan was extremely shocked.
"Yes."
Xiao Xun'er nodded, her soft lips parting slightly.
"It's not just a Heavenly Flame, it's also the Bone Chilling Flame, ranked eleventh on the Heavenly Flame list!"
"Hiss~"
At Xiao Xun'er's words, everyone present couldn't help but gasp.
Heavenly Flames were already rare treasures of the world, and those that could rank near the top ten were treasures within treasures! And such a rare treasure was right before their eyes!
"Sister Xun'er, are you sure you're not mistaken? Is it really the Bone Chilling Flame you mentioned?"
Ya Fei looked stunned, disbelief evident in her voice.
Xiao Xun'er smiled faintly. "Sister Ya Fei, if you don't believe me, can't you trust Sister Yan'er?"
With that, Xiao Xun'er and everyone else turned their gaze towards Qi Yan'er.
When they saw Qi Yan'er's complete lack of surprise, everyone immediately understood.
Confirmed!
This was the Bone Chilling Flame, ranked eleventh on the Heavenly Flame list!
With a slight blink of her large eyes, Qi Yan'er was still a little surprised:
"I didn't expect the Heavenly Flame to appear just after I discovered that the book I was practicing calligraphy with was the Five Revolutions Flame Technique~"
Yao Chen: Σ(⊙▽⊙"a???
What did this even mean?
Xiao Zhan's body trembled slightly. The thought that the Xiao family possessed such a treasure didn't bring him any joy; it almost scared him to death!
Xiao Zhan understood the principle: a man is innocent, but the possession of a treasure makes him guilty.
How could his Xiao family possibly protect a Heavenly Flame of this caliber?
Xiao Zhan's expression became tense as he stared at Xiao Yan, urgently asking:
"Yan'er~ Tell your father the truth. Where did you get this Bone Chilling Flame?"
"What secrets are you hiding?!"
Xiao Yan's heart skipped a beat under his father's gaze. He also didn't know that this flame was actually the Bone Chilling Flame!
What kind of person would the old man who possessed such a Heavenly Flame be?
I… I struck gold! Xiao Yan was secretly delighted, but then he calmly explained:
"Father, actually, this flame is something I got from…"
"Stop! You don't need to say anything, little yellow hair."
Xiao Yan had just started speaking when Qi Yan'er interrupted him: "Little mustache, don't you know your own son? Think carefully, has he ever told you the truth?"
"This…"
Qi Yan'er's words caused Xiao Zhan to force a bitter smile.
It seemed like that was really the case!
His son never revealed his secrets, just like now.
The moment he opened his mouth, Xiao Zhan knew he was about to make up a story!
"So you don't need to listen to him; I'll do the talking!"
Qi Yan'er put one hand on her small waist and pointed the other at the ring on Xiao Yan's finger.
"The one inside! If you don't come out, don't blame me for burning this broken ring!"
As soon as she said this, everyone present, except for Xiao Xun'er, was shocked!
Xiao Zhan's eyes widened in horror.
"Miss Yan'er, are you saying there's someone inside the relic left by Yan'er's mother?"
"Or what?"
Qi Yan'er shrugged her small hands and said, "Otherwise, how would his Dou Qi have disappeared for no reason for three years?"
"What?"
Hearing this, Xiao Zhan's face immediately darkened, and he angrily said, "The reason my son's Dou Qi disappeared was actually man-made!"
"Damn it!!!"
Xiao Zhan was furious, not caring about the strength of the person hidden inside, and began to curse.
"The guy inside, get out here!"
Xiao Zhan felt a warmth in his heart as he looked at his father's furious expression.
So, this cheap dad really does care about me! "Heh heh heh~"
Following a strange laugh, a transparent, elderly figure drifted out from the ring!
"I didn't expect that I, old man, hid so well, yet you, little brat, still discovered me!"
As soon as Xiao Zhan saw the old man, he roared in fury: "You old thing, where did you take my son's Dou Qi?"
Yao Chen looked down at Xiao Zhan, and smiled frankly:
"Absorbed it! Otherwise, I wouldn't have awakened from my slumber."
"Damn it!"
Xiao Zhan was furious, pointing at Yao Chen and cursing without any restraint:
"You old geezer..."
"Little mustache~"
At that moment, Qi Yan'er giggled from the side: "Don't blame me for not warning you, this white-haired old man's strength is now that of a Dou Emperor, you know~"
"..."
Qi Yan'er's words instantly stunned Xiao Zhan, his open mouth trembling violently:
"Dou, Dou Emperor expert?"
"Heh heh~"
Watching Xiao Zhan's unworldly appearance, Yao Chen shook his head, then turned his gaze to Qi Yan'er:
"Little girl, you really can see through old man's strength. You must have noticed me long ago, haven't you?"
"Hehehe~"
Qi Yan'er felt speechless:
"You old geezer, you keep appearing before my eyes. It's hard not to notice you. I came here to talk to you."
"Speak."
"Who are you? Why have you repeatedly drawn my attention? What's your purpose?"
