Chapter 55 What is your relationship with Xiao Lin? Nalan Yanran changed her clothes and went to her grandfather's residence in the backyard."Where are Grandpa, Father, and Uncle Master?" She looked around but didn't see Nie Yuan. "I'll leave after I finish treating your grandfather." Nalan Su looked at her. "Grandpa, how do you feel?" Nalan Yanran turned to look at the old man, a little nervous. Nalan Jie smiled and said, "It's better than before." Hearing this, Nalan Yanran breathed a sigh of relief. Unexpectedly, the solution to the branding poison that his uncle-master had suggested was solved by him personally. At this moment, the butler walked in with a plain-looking young man.
Nalan Yanran! As he stepped over the threshold, Xiao Yan saw that face that was almost flawless. "you know me?" Nalan Yanran felt strange when she saw the other party staring at her. “Don’t be too narcissistic.” Xiao Yan came back to his senses and replied indifferently, then looked towards the old man on the bed. "Young Master, are you an alchemist?" Nalan Su stood up and asked. But before Xiao Yan could open his mouth, Nalan Yanran's voice rang out first. She looked at her father and asked, "Why do we need to find an alchemist? Didn't Master come to check on Grandpa?" Xiao Yan lowered his eyelids slightly, a hint of surprise flashed across his face. Perhaps the only person she could call uncle-master was the Gun King of the Yunlan Sect. But, can he also remove poison? "You go out first." Nalan Su waved his hand. The butler understood his look and took Nalan Yanran out. "I am Nalan Su, the current patriarch of the Nalan family." He turned and looked at the young man. "I am Yan Xiao, a third-rank alchemist." Xiao Yan said calmly, and then changed the subject, "Has anyone come to check on him?"
As he spoke, Xiao Yan's gaze fell on Nalan Jie who was lying on the bed. Nalan Su nodded, "Yes, Sect Master Nie had treated my father before, but the effect was not good, and the poison is still in his body." He took a few steps forward and walked past Nalan Su. Xiao Yan came to the bedside, "Let me take a look." On the bed, Nalan Jie said nothing and allowed the other person to touch his arm. The soul power spread into Nalan Jie's body. Seeing the blackened bones, Xiao Yan couldn't help but take a breath. The poison has penetrated into the bone marrow. No wonder it could torture a Dou Wang into this state. "Young sir, is the branding poison still there?" Nalan Su asked nervously. Xiao Yan nodded with a serious expression, "Yes, the poison in this old man has spread to his bones. If I were to do it, I would probably need to do it several times in a row before it could be completely removed." "It can be cured, right?" Nalan Su heard another meaning in the words and his face showed some excitement. "A little bit sure." Xiao Yan weighed it for a while before answering, "But I need the Seven Illusions Green Spirit Saliva." "no problem." Nalan Su agreed without thinking, as this was the price he had offered previously to attract alchemists. "Then I'll start first." Xiao Yan looked at Nalan Jie's frown from time to time, knowing that the old man was still suffering and he felt sorry for him. The other party used to be a close friend of his grandfather. "Young Master, how can I cooperate with you?" Nalan Jie asked. "Don't resist my flames, and bear the pain." Xiao Yan sat cross-legged on the bed and motioned for the old man to stretch out his hands. Nalan Jie did as he was told and soon felt a hot breath surging from the other person's palm and rushing into his body. Nalan Su watched quietly beside him. There was nothing unusual at first. Xiao Yan controlled the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire to burn away the poison. When the flame came near the opponent's dantian, it seemed to encounter some stimulation and suddenly became violent. Xiao Yan's expression changed. Nalan Jie's face turned into one of pain, with blood gushing out of his mouth.
"Father!" Nalan Su suddenly panicked and looked at the young man with unfriendly eyes. Nalan Jie shook his head slightly and looked at the young man opposite him with a frown on his face. "Young sir, what's wrong?" "Something in you stimulates my strange fire." Xiao Yan's voice was particularly solemn. He had only encountered a similar phenomenon when he swallowed the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire, but that time his teacher helped suppress it. Feeling the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire raging in both the other person's body and his own, Xiao Yan's heart began beating violently and rapidly. "Go and ask Patriarch Nie to come!" Nalan Jie knew very well that there was absolutely no way he could stimulate the strange fire, so there was only one person left! "Alas, this..." Nalan Su sighed heavily and hurried out to find Nalan Yanran, asking her to invite Nie Yuan, and emphasized that she must not talk about the alchemist. They came with good intentions to help, but now you have found an alchemist and caused trouble. What if he doesn’t come? After all, the other party is the leader of the Yunlan Sect, so it is normal for him to have a bit of temper. the other side. The flames moved under the skin of the two men. Xiao Yan felt a tingling sensation on his face, and then the human face mask fell off. Nalan Jie was stunned at first, his heart immediately tightened, and the first thought that flashed through his mind was that the other party was deliberately trying to harm him. But the next second, he felt that the other person looked familiar, "Kid, what is your relationship with Xiao Lin?" "My grandfather." Xiao Yan answered subconsciously. "Are you Xiao Yan?" Nalan Jie reacted immediately, with a guilty look in his eyes, "It's my fault that I didn't teach Yanran well, child. Our Nalan family has been so sorry to you, and yet you still come to save me." "Grandpa Nalan, let's put things in perspective. What happened between me and her has nothing to do with you. It's just that I was not good enough. I wanted to save you, but ended up making a mess of it." Xiao Yan sighed. Suddenly, a force burst out from Nalan Jie's body and pushed Xiao Yan out. Xiao Yan used this opportunity to get rid of it. The flames on his face and body faded away. He looked at Nalan Jie hurriedly, "Grandpa Nalan." "Our Nalan family has already let down the Xiao family. I can't hurt you again." Nalan Jie took the initiative to push Xiao Yan away, causing his body to be burned by flames. He was in great pain and his face was a little distorted. At this time, footsteps were heard outside again. "Kid, hide quickly." Nalan Jie was worried that Xiao Yan would be seen by Nalan Yanran or even Nie Yuan. After all, Xiao Yan and Yunlan Sect are now in conflict. Xiao Yan gritted his teeth, grabbed the human skin mask, and found a shadow to hide in.
"What about others?" Nalan Su walked in and was stunned for a moment. "Tell the butler not to show up yet. When Sect Master Nie comes, just say it's my fault." Nalan Jie said seriously. Why? Nalan Su was full of questions, but seeing that his father had collapsed on the bed in pain, he did not dare to ask any more questions. Soon Nalan Yanran and Nie Yuan walked in. "what happened?" Nie Yuan walked quickly to the bedside and easily controlled the situation. At the same time, he also noticed another smell of fire in Nalan Jie's body and vaguely understood something. "I'm going to seal the old man's poison first, instead of removing it directly, because I don't want the old man's fighting spirit to be lost. He may still feel some pain in the first two days, but the poison will get lighter and lighter later." Nie Yuan looked at Nalan Su. The latter finally came to his senses, but he couldn't say it out loud. He couldn't tell Nie Yuan that they had invited the alchemist. Wouldn't that be a slap in Nie Yuan's face and show that he didn't trust him? "Cough cough..." Just when Nalan Su was in a dilemma, Nalan Jie recovered and took the initiative to take over the responsibility, "I'm sorry, Master Nie, I was too anxious and made you run a long way. Don't worry, it won't happen again." "It's all..." Just as Nalan Yanran was about to speak, she was interrupted by Nalan Jie's serious look. He looked at his granddaughter and said, "Go to the best restaurant and reserve a table. We will treat Patriarch Nie to dinner tonight as a token of our gratitude." Nalan Yanran looked at him for a few seconds, stomped her feet angrily, and turned away. "I'm really sorry, Master Nie." Nalan Jie's face was filled with shame, and he looked at Nie Yuan with a hint of nervousness in his eyes, fearing that the other party would notice something. "I didn't explain it clearly before. Now the old man should understand. I'll leave first." Nie Yuan waved his hand. "Master Nie, please do me a favor tonight." Nalan Jie signaled Nalan Su to go out and see him off. Inside the house, Xiao Yan finally came out from the shadows and put the mask back on his face. But you can see a hint of self-mockery in his eyes. Previously, he was somewhat proud of himself, thinking that although Nie Yuan was a Dou Huang, he might not know how to heal, especially by using fire to remove poison, which required a high level of control over fire. Without a certain level of ability in alchemy, it is almost impossible to do it. But I just watched the whole thing and listened to what Nie Yuan said.
Xiao Yan found himself becoming a clown. "Nalan..." He looked at Nalan Jie. At this moment, an angry shout came from the door. "Hey, you're still here, you almost killed my father, today even if you're a third-grade alchemist I'm going to make you pay a price!" Nalan Su rolled up his sleeves, anger appeared on his face, and fighting spirit surged out of his body and surrounded him. "Nalan Su!" Nalan Jie frowned and stared at him. Suddenly, Nalan Su didn't dare to move. "Go and get the Seven Illusions Green Spirit Saliva!" Nalan Jie ordered. Nalan Su did not move until Nalan Jie gave orders again in a roaring voice. "Grandpa Nalan, I..." Xiao Yan felt a bit embarrassed. He felt like he was not helping at all and was even making things worse. Why was it so difficult? But he really needed it. After all, he was going to Yunlan Sect soon. If his teacher could wake up, it would be of great help to him. "Child, don't be embarrassed. This is just a small compensation from me to you. Yanran has been spoiled by me since she was a child. I also have a responsibility to your Xiao family." Nalan Jie sighed deeply. This was the first time he met Xiao Yan, but when Xiao Yan was willing to treat him regardless of the past grudges, he realized that he had missed out on a good grandson-in-law. Soon, Nalan Su took back the Seven Illusions Green Spirit Saliva and handed it to Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan hurriedly walked out of the Nalan family, stood at the end of the street, looked at the gate of the Nalan family for a while, and then disappeared in the crowd. In the evening, Nie Yuan went out to have a meal. In fact, he had already guessed Xiao Yan's arrival at the Nalan family, and understood the other party's goal. He even felt that there was another aura at the scene besides Nalan Jie. But Nie Yuan did not expose it. Because when he turned around and left the Yunlan Sect's main hall, he figured it out. Since Yun Yun insisted that she was right, there were some things that he didn't need to stop. The best way to deal with those who are stubborn is to put the facts in front of you! Moreover, Nie Yuan was also very curious. If Yun Yun knew that it was Yun Leng, whom she promoted, who caused the disaster for the Xiao family, what kind of expression would she have when she met Xiao Yan. As for the subsequent hidden dangers of Xiao Yan, Nie Yuan was not worried. After returning to his residence, Nie Yuan practiced instead of sleeping, preparing to wait until dawn to take the alchemist level test. (End of this chapter)
