"Wait a minute! You, you are now... surnamed Xiao!!"
"Could it be that the Xiao Clan is..."
Yao Chen shouted in alarm, his jaw nearly dropping from the thought that struck him!
In this tiny Utan City, how could there be such murky waters? Oh, what a bitter fate for this old man!
Yao Chen, possessing the Bone Chilling Fire, had already determined that the golden light in Xiao Xun'er's eyes was a Heavenly Flame the moment he saw it!
And among the Heavenly Flame Ranking, there were only two such golden flames.
Combining this with Xiao Xun'er's earlier question, "Your surname is Yao," Yao Chen instantly concluded that the golden flame must be the legacy flame of the Ancient Clan! The fourth-ranked Heavenly Flame, the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame!
What did the appearance of a girl with the Ancient Clan's inherited flame signify for the small Xiao Clan?
It meant that the small Xiao Clan was anything but simple!
It was highly likely that they were connected to the Xiao Clan, once the number one clan on the Dou Qi Continent!
Yao Chen's old face was as bitter as a melon, looking utterly miserable.
My old life is really too bitter!
Being betrayed by his junior brother and disciple who joined the Hall of Souls was bad enough.
He had barely awakened, and now he found that the people he was in contact with were related to the Xiao Clan and the Ancient Clan!
What is this?
I can't escape the Eight Ancient Clans, can I?
"It seems you don't know."
Xiao Xun'er stared at Yao Chen's shocked and pained expression, immediately coming to a conclusion.
"I truly don't know."
Yao Chen admitted frankly.
"Sister Xun'er, what are you talking about?"
Qi Yan'er looked at Xiao Xun'er, then at Yao Chen, her small brows furrowed as she asked,
"Who exactly is this white-haired old man?"
Her beautiful eyes landed on Yao Chen, and Xiao Xun'er said in a low voice, "Yao Chen!"
"The Starfall Pavilion Master, one of the top powers in the Central Region, and an Alchemist comparable to the three giants of the Alchemist Tower. He is known as… Yao Zun!"
"Yao, Yao Zun!!!"
"Top-tier Alchemist of the continent!!!"
For Xiao Zhan, Ya Fei, and the others, the Four Square Pavilions and Starfall Pavilion were unheard of.
But the two words "Yao Zun," they knew exactly what they meant!
"A Dou Venerate powerhouse! A top-tier Alchemist!"
"Gulp~"
Everyone's eyes focused on Yao Chen, their bodies trembling in shock.
Even Hai Bodong, who had recovered his Dou Emperor strength, couldn't help but swallow hard.
This old man… was actually a Dou Venerate powerhouse in his lifetime!
Xiao Yan: Σ(⊙▽⊙"a!
I really struck gold, didn't I?
"Is that so~"
Xiao Xun'er's words didn't surprise Qi Yan'er at all. Instead, she giggled, "How did you end up like this, you old geezer? A Dou Venerate reduced to a soul body, how pitiful~"
Hearing this, Yao Chen gave a wry smile. "Miss Yan'er is right. My fate is indeed quite tragic."
Having already ascertained Yao Chen's identity as a member of the Yao Clan, Xiao Xun'er narrowed her eyes and stared at him, asking, "Honored Pharmacist Yao, I'm very curious. With your status and the powerful individuals who used to surround you, how did you become so down and out?"
"Sigh~"
Yao Chen didn't want to bring up the painful past, but facing this young lady from the Ancient Clan and Qi Yan'er, he had no choice but to open up his old wounds.
After sighing, Yao Chen said helplessly, "It's all my fault for taking on such a good disciple!"
"That day..."
"Hiss~"
After Yao Chen finished recounting his miserable experiences, everyone couldn't help but gasp.
"Old Man Mu Gu, Han Feng! The Hall of Souls!"
Xiao Xun'er nodded, her voice low, "So it was those bastards from the Hall of Souls. No wonder Honored Pharmacist Yao chose to hide and didn't return to the Starfall Pavilion immediately."
"Exactly."
Yao Chen said helplessly, "If I wasn't forced, I wouldn't have revealed my aura."
"So, old man with the white hair, what's your goal in making me notice you, even at the risk of being discovered by the Hall of Souls?"
Qi Yan'er asked, her big eyes fixed on Yao Chen, tilting her head.
"This..."
Yao Chen looked embarrassed and smiled.
"Actually, I wanted... to take you as my disciple!"
"What?"
As soon as these words came out, not to mention the surprise of the others, Xiao Yan was the first to exclaim: "Senior, you can't forget about me! I just agreed to do things for you."
"Shut up!"
Xiao Yan's words startled Xiao Zhan, who was standing nearby. He immediately rebuked, "Yan'er, be respectful! How noble is Honored Pharmacist Yao? How could he possibly accept you as a disciple?"
"Father, I..."
Xiao Yan wanted to say something, but Xiao Zhan waved his hand to interrupt him.
"Yan'er, it's good to have dreams, but you also need to face reality!"
"You need to see yourself as you are now. You're just a three-stage Dou Qi waste. How can you even compare with Miss Qi Yan'er?"
"..."
Xiao Zhan's words made Xiao Yan's heart tremble.
Damn! This is a father who's trying to screw me over. Honored Pharmacist Yao hasn't even said anything, yet he's already rejecting me! "Tsk tsk~"
Qi Yan'er tilted her little head, watching the scene with amusement, and smiled, "Little yellow hair, if you want to be this white-haired old man's master, then go ahead! Anyway, I won't be!"
"Huh?"
Hearing this, Xiao Yan's eyes immediately lit up.
An opportunity! Here it comes again?
At this moment, Yao Chen was taken aback and asked in surprise, "Little Yan'er, you don't want to be my disciple?"
"That's right."
Qi Yan'er nodded her little head firmly, "Why should I become your disciple?"
"Why do you all want to take me as your disciple? Sister Yun Yun is like this, and you, this white-haired old man, are also like this. You smelly old man, have you ever had this thought?"
"Cough, cough~"
Hai Bodong, suddenly called out, coughed to cover his embarrassment.
He had indeed entertained such a thought, but it was just a thought! Hai Bodong was very aware of his own limitations.
Even he, a Dou Emperor, had to rely on this little girl's "gift," so how could he be qualified to be her teacher?
Ya Fei bowed slightly and softly said to Qi Yan'er:
"Sister Yan'er~ This person was a Dou Venerate in his lifetime. If you were to take him as your teacher, there would be many benefits."
Little Doctor Immortal, standing by, also softly advised:
"Sister Yan'er, you still need to consider this carefully…"
"There's nothing to consider."
Qi Yan'er puffed out her chest and stared at Yao Chen.
"I won't accept you as my teacher! You old geezer with the white hair, give up now!"
"Don't you want to become an Alchemist?"
Yao Chen asked in disbelief.
He really didn't understand.
He had revealed his identity, demonstrated his powerful strength, and even displayed his Heavenly Flame. Yet, in the end, this little Yan'er was still rejecting him!
"Become an Alchemist? Old geezer with the white hair, are you going to teach me alchemy?"
Qi Yan'er gave a speechless laugh.
"But I already learned my father's Stir-fry Pill Method a long time ago!"
"Does becoming an Alchemist require learning from someone else?"
"Hiss~"
Hearing this, everyone's eyes widened.
It was like a sudden enlightenment!
Stir-fry Pill Method?
Yes!
This little Qi Yan'er said before that her father used a wok for alchemy!
And Qi Yan'er also said she could cook!
Who did she learn cooking from? Of course, she learned from her father!
