Wutan City, the Xiao family.
"Master Liu Xi, may I ask what brings you here in person to find Yu'er?"
The eldest elder of the Xiao family asked with some anticipation.
Liu Xi smiled faintly, and sighed with a slightly regretful tone:
"I have heard that Miss Xiao Yu, a noblewoman, is a student at Canaan Academy. I have long admired Canaan Academy. It is a pity that I missed the best opportunity to join Canaan Academy back then because of some trivial matters."
"Now, Liu Xi has plenty of free time and only wants to enter the famous Canaan Academy on the continent to further his studies. However, Liu Xi is no longer satisfied with the various admission requirements of Canaan Academy and is unwilling to give up. So he wants to ask Miss Xiao Yu, a noblewoman, to introduce him to someone."
"I apologize for the embarrassing situation, Clan Chief Xiao, Elder, and everyone else."
"this..."
The Grand Elder, Xiao Zhan, and several other elders of the Xiao family exchanged glances, all showing some disappointment.
They hadn't expected that Liu Xi's visit was for this very reason.
They thought the Xiao family was about to have another alchemist son-in-law.
"Hehe, Canaan Academy, great!"
"Master Liu Xi's alchemy skills are unparalleled, he is broad-minded and magnanimous, and he is adept at dealing with people. Even if he missed the original enrollment requirements of Canaan Academy, if Master Liu Xi were to wish for something, Canaan Academy would surely not miss such an outstanding student as Master Liu Xi!"
The elder laughed heartily and praised Liu Xi without hesitation.
In his heart, he was thinking that the opportunity for Master Liu Xi and Yu'er to spend close time together was extremely rare.
As a grandfather, he had to create opportunities for Yu'er.
Moreover, if Liu Xi really joins Canaan Academy, Yu'er and Ning'er will have an extra alchemist to look after them while they are at Canaan Academy.
He absolutely couldn't let Yu'er miss out on something that was a sure win no matter how you looked at it.
"Grandpa, clan leader, second elder, third elder, you're looking for me?"
Just as Liu Xi was chatting with Xiao Zhan and the others, a tall, slender, and beautiful figure stepped into the hall with a pair of long, shapely, and smooth legs, coming into view.
Xiao Yu has arrived.
"Yu'er, come quickly and greet Master Liu Xi!"
The First Elder was the first to stand up, and he beckoned Xiao Yu over with great eagerness.
The first thing Xiao Yu saw was the alchemist Liu Xi, who sat in the hall, his eyes shining brightly, and whose unique brilliance could not be concealed even when surrounded by several important figures of the Xiao family.
For a moment, Xiao Yu admitted that her heart was beating a little faster.
Taking a deep breath to calm her turbulent emotions, Xiao Yu stepped forward and spoke in a slightly dry, somewhat nervous tone:
"Xiao Yu greets Master Liu Xi."
"Heh..."
Liu Xi chuckled softly, his voice deep and magnetic, carrying a gentle comfort like the warm spring sun, and waved his hand as he said:
"Miss Xiao Yu, you're too kind. We're not that far apart in age, so we can just treat each other as peers. There's no need to be so formal."
"call..."
Hearing Liu Xi's gentle and comforting tone, Xiao Yu breathed a slight sigh of relief.
To be honest, Liu Xi put a lot of pressure on her.
Mainly, except for that time at Xiaojiafang Market.
Liu Xi made his appearance at the entrance of the Mittel Auction House, chatting fluently with many important figures from Utan City.
That effortless confidence, his composure and self-assurance even when facing many important figures, and his transcendent aura of self-importance.
Furthermore, there was the arrogant and carefree air about him when he casually pointed at Xiao Yan...
His unique and unforgettable physique...
Even the Xiao family treated Liu Xi with utmost respect.
Subconsciously, Xiao Yu categorized Liu Xi as a great figure comparable to the elders of Canaan Academy.
Although Liu Xi is young, her appearance and temperament are enough to make countless young girls' hearts flutter.
But when Xiao Yu actually faced Liu Xi, she was still a little nervous.
"Hehe, Yu'er, Master Liu Xi has some questions for you. Why don't you stay and have a chat with him?"
"Oh, right, since Master Liu Xi wants you to interact with us as peers, how about this: Master Liu Xi, let Yu'er show you around various parts of our Xiao family."
"Without us old folks around, you can easily chat about things that are more youthful!"
Elder Xiao was already impatient.
Whenever he had the chance, he wanted to give Liu Xi and Xiao Yu a private moment.
As he spoke, he also gave Xiao Zhan and several elders meaningful glances.
These elders, along with Xiao Zhan, are all seasoned and shrewd individuals.
He immediately understood the elder's plan.
But this is a good thing, and they are extremely happy to do so and are making every effort to make it happen.
Then, they started to persuade Liu Xi and Xiao Yu to go out and let Xiao Yu take Liu Xi for a walk alone.
Unable to refuse such hospitality, Liu Xi could only stand up and apologize for her absence.
I followed Xiao Yu to tour the Xiao family mansion.
As soon as Liu Xi and his companion left, Xiao Zhan and the three elders of the Xiao family began to whisper among themselves.
The First Elder immediately summoned someone and ordered him to go down and warn the younger members of the Xiao family not to disturb Liu Xi and Xiao Yu, and to try to let them spend the whole time alone together.
This cryptic command was then relayed.
Everyone in the Xiao family chuckled slyly.
"Master Liu has taken a liking to Cousin Xiao Yu!"
"Master Liu Xi has personally come to propose marriage!"
"Master Liu Xi and Cousin Xiao Yu are on a date, none of you are allowed to disturb them!"
"We've made it big! Our Xiao family has made it big!"
"The good days of eating pills like candy are coming soon!"
"..."
The story of Liu Xi and Xiao Yu being together.
Many of the younger generation in the Xiao family strongly agreed.
Liu Xi now enjoys a high reputation.
In Wutan City, he was practically the dream lover of these teenage girls.
In private, they would discuss whether Master Liu Xi would take a fancy to a young lady of marriageable age from a family in Wutan City.
Unexpectedly, the Xiao family really did manage to snag the bargain.
Of course, not everyone is satisfied with this.
Xiao Yan, who had just returned from refining medicine in the cave behind the mountain, almost vomited when he heard the news.
Although, he no longer harbors much prejudice against Liu Xi.
However, Xiao Yu is one of the three beauties in his Xiao family.
Xiao Yan really didn't want Xiao Yu to be seduced by someone else.
Most importantly, the blood relationship between Xiao Yu and him is not very strong anymore.
Xiao Yan is still an ignorant nobody.
He also had some filthy thoughts in his heart.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have done something like peeping at others while they were bathing and then lurking in the bathtub and making unwanted advances.
"Damn it, what do we do? Are we really going to let Liu Xi steal Xiao Yu away?!"
Xiao Yan's eyes darted around.
However, in the end, he gave up the idea of causing some damage.
He realized the crucial point; for now, he just needed to keep Xiao Xun'er calm.
As long as Xiao Xun'er, this mysterious young lady, doesn't escape his control, everything will be fine.
If you continue to fantasize about other beautiful women, you're likely to lose control.
It could also negatively impact his image in front of Xiao Xun'er.
Just like Nalan Yanran, he deliberately didn't break off the engagement while flirting with Xiao Xun'er, all so that one day he could have both of them by his side.
Finally, it slipped out of his control.
What nonsense about not knowing about the engagement? He's an adult, and the other younger members of the Xiao family all know that. How could he not know?!
Meanwhile, over there, Liu Xi and Xiao Yu were having a long and pleasant conversation.
