So… you're saying this old gentleman is your senior brother's disciple?"
Inside the main hall of the Xiao Clan, Xiao Zhan and several elders exchanged puzzled glances.
When this Tier-3 alchemist had first arrived at the Xiao family, his face had been filled with arrogance, his chin practically pointed at the sky.
Yet after a short trip out with Xiao Yan, the same old man now stood before them with a look of utmost respect and humility.
"Yes," Xiao Yan replied calmly. "I have a senior brother whom I've never met.
He's made a name for himself in the Black-Corner Region. This fellow, Xiao Long, happens to be his disciple.
When he saw my teacher, he recognized the aura of our lineage immediately.
Naturally, he acknowledged my teacher as his grandmaster...and that makes me his little martial uncle."
Standing beside Liu Panlong, Xiao Yan spread his hands innocently.
Hearing Xiao Yan casually call that proud old man "Little Long," Xiao Zhan and the elders exchanged looks again, their expressions first dazed, then slowly turning into delight.
According to Xiao Yan, this Tier-3 alchemist, Liu Panlong, would now be residing permanently in the Xiao Clan.
Furthermore, per the request of Xiao Yan's mysterious teacher, Liu Panlong would also be refining pills for the Xiao family on a regular basis.
For a small clan like the Xiao family, having a Tier-3 alchemist "working" for them was no different from fortune falling straight out of the heavens.
"Haha! Excellent, excellent!" Xiao Zhan burst into laughter.
"From today onward, my Xiao Clan will prepare a grand residence for Master Panlong to live and refine pills in comfort.
Whatever you require, do not hesitate to ask!
Once he accepted the truth, Xiao Zhan acted decisively, personally selecting one of the Xiao Clan's most luxurious courtyards and gifting it to Liu Panlong.
Xiao Yan didn't object.....he was always generous toward those who worked under him.
As long as Liu Panlong made enough contributions to the clan, even if he behaved like a loyal dog, Xiao Yan would still ensure he received proper treatment.
"Young Clan Leader," the great elder suddenly asked curiously, "I wonder… just what rank of alchemist is your senior brother...Master Panlong's teacher?"
Nowadays, even the great elder addressed Xiao Yan with sincere respect, calling him "Young Clan Leader."
Hearing the question, Xiao Zhan and the others turned to look at Xiao Yan with curiosity as well.
"Hmm… about Tier-6, I'd say," Xiao Yan answered after pretending to ponder for a moment.
"My senior brother is a rather low-profile person.
Please keep this between us and don't spread it around."
As he spoke, Xiao Yan glanced at Liu Panlong meaningfully.
"Isn't that right, Little Long?"
"Y–yes, Little Martial Uncle!"
Liu Panlong froze for a second before hastily nodding like a pecking chicken.
"My teacher values peace and quiet, so I won't mention his name."
"Tier-6 alchemist!"
Even though Xiao Zhan and the elders had witnessed Xiao Yan's miracles many times before, they couldn't help but suck in a sharp breath.
A Tier-6 alchemist...such a figure stood at the very top of the Jia Ma Empire!
Especially for the elders, the mysterious background behind Xiao Yan became even more unfathomable.
If his senior brother was already at the level of a Tier-6 alchemist, then what terrifying level must his teacher have reached?
Of course, Xiao Yan wasn't entirely lying. He did have a senior brother in the Black-Corner Region.....and that person truly was a Tier-6 alchemist.
However, that man had absolutely no connection with Liu Panlong, and in fact, their relationship wasn't particularly good.
With Liu Panlong's arrival, the Xiao Clan members began treating Xiao Yan with even more respect.
When they saw a Tier-3 alchemist in full robes bowing reverently to Xiao Yan, their gazes toward him carried even greater awe.
After settling into the Xiao Clan, Liu Panlong didn't wait for Xiao Yan's orders.
With Xiao Yan's silent approval, he immediately sent several clan members galloping out of Wu Tan City in different directions.
