Chapter 7, First Meeting with Yafei"Teacher, I seem to have been broken off from engagement..." Nalan Yanran's expression was somewhat puzzled and she didn't react at all. She had just decided to go to the Xiao family to cancel the engagement, so how come the Xiao family's letter of cancellation was delivered to her? "Let me see." Yun Yun took the letter from her hand, read it quickly, and understood. "Isn't this exactly what you want? You were thinking of canceling the engagement anyway, and the result is almost the same now. The engagement between you and Xiao Yan is cancelled." “But I always feel uncomfortable.” Isn't it the same as being divorced if someone breaks off an engagement? This feeling is very strange. "Okay, do you still want to go to the Xiao family and make a scene, and then cancel the engagement?" Yun Yun soothed, "Go back now and explain the situation to your father and Old Man Nalan." "Ok." Nalan Yanran silently put away the letter of withdrawal of engagement.
…… Wutan City. Mittel Auctions. As the largest auction in Wutan City, it is crowded and bustling every day. Xiao Li had a clear purpose and went straight to the Mittel Auction. "Master Xiao Li, you are here." The maid at the auction knew Xiao Li, and as soon as she saw him, she hurried forward to greet him enthusiastically. "Well, I came to buy some things." "I wonder what Master Xiao Li would like to buy?" the maid asked enthusiastically as she welcomed him in. Xiao Li directly took out a list, which listed several kinds of medicinal materials. "I need these herbs, see if you can get them for me." The maid took the list, took a look at the herbs on it, and was stunned for a moment. Because she had never heard of many of the medicinal herbs. But after all, she was just a maid in charge of reception, not in charge of the warehouse. "Mr. Xiao Li, please go to the VIP room and take a rest. I will go check it out." After bringing Xiao Li to the VIP room, the maid went downstairs with the list. …… Backstage at the auction. Yafei is counting the things that are about to be auctioned.
The maid came up hurriedly with the list and said, "Miss, these are the herbs that Master Xiao Li of the Xiao family needs. There are many that I don't recognize. Please take a look..." "I don't know. Don't you know to just go to the warehouse and look for it?" Although she said this, Yafei still took the list and took a look. Soon, looking at the materials on the list, her expression gradually became serious. "Whose list do you think this is?" "Master Xiao Li of the Xiao family." "Xiao Family... I am personally responsible for this matter, you can go down." "Yes." …… VIP room. Xiao Li sipped his tea leisurely and waited quietly. He believed that he could wait for the person he wanted to wait for. After a while, the door of the VIP room was opened and a woman in cheongsam walked in. The woman has a beautiful face and a charming and seductive manner, exuding alluring charm. A slim-fitting cheongsam wrapped around her plump breasts, a belt tied around her slender waist, and a pair of dazzlingly white legs revealed at the crotch of the brocade robe, making one want to explore further. "Master Xiao Li, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting." Her eyes swept over Xiao Li and Ya Fei smiled. "It doesn't matter. As long as I can wait for a beauty like Miss Yafei, it doesn't matter if I wait a little longer." Xiao Li put down the tea in his hand and looked at Yafei's graceful figure. Ya Fei's beauty is completely different from that of Xiao Yu, Xiao Xun'er and others. She is a big sister with unique charm, who is mature, charming and graceful. This kind of woman is even more attractive. "Mr. Xiao Li, you are joking." After being praised, Ya Fei also showed a bright smile on her face. Although it was only their first formal meeting, Xiao Li gave her a very different feeling. Warm, sunny, handsome and charming. Men like beautiful women. Women like handsome guys too. Same thing. At the auction, Yafei has met all kinds of men.
I've seen quite a few handsome guys. But no man has ever attracted her as much as Xiao Li. It was as if there was some kind of halo around Xiao Li that made Ya Fei inexplicably feel that he was pleasing to the eye and had a good impression of him. "Just now the maid told me that Master Xiao Li needs some medicinal herbs. Since these herbs are very high-grade, I came to confirm with Master Xiao Li." "If it's just ordinary medicinal herbs, I won't have to come to your auction." Xiao Li smiled slightly. "Or do you not have these herbs at the auction?" "Of course we have the herbs. I will prepare them myself." Afterwards, Yafei went to prepare the medicinal materials herself. Fifteen minutes later, she came back with the herbs. "Master Xiao Li, the herbs you want are all here. Check to see if they are correct." Xiao Li took a quick glance and confirmed that it was correct. He then placed a purple crystal card on the tray and handed over the money and the goods. "By the way, Master Xiao Li, forgive me for asking, what do you want these herbs for?" These medicinal materials are of high quality and are usually used to refine third or fourth grade pills. But the problem is, the Xiao family doesn’t have a pharmacist, so what do they need these pills for? "Use it to make pills." Xiao Li said generously. "Ah?" Yafei was startled. Is it really alchemy? "Does your Xiao family... have an alchemist?" When she asked this question, Yafei realized that her question was too abrupt. This should be considered someone else's secret. But Xiao Li still said openly: "Yes, it is far away in the sky and close at hand." "Are you a pharmacist?" Yafei was even more shocked. She remembered that no one in the Xiao family was an alchemist! How did Xiao Li become an alchemist? Seeing her reaction, Xiao Li didn't say much. He put away all the herbs and turned to leave. "That's right." Xiao Li suddenly turned around and looked at Ya Fei in front of him with a wicked smile on his face. "Ms. Yafei, you are so beautiful. I think I might like you." After saying that, Xiao Li turned around and left. Yafei was stunned for a moment. The subject changed so suddenly. It was not until Xiao Li left the VIP room that she came to her senses and her heart beat faster.
"Alchemist... If this Xiao Li is really an alchemist, then the situation in Wutan City will change." …… back home. Xiao Li immediately started to refine the elixir. What he wanted to refine was a fourth-grade elixir - the tranquilizing pill, a very advanced type of pregnancy-stabilizing medicine. This was also his first time refining medicine. He had no experience, so he didn't dare to refine a pill of too advanced level. After all, Xiao Li is only a fifth-rank alchemist now. "call……" Taking a deep breath and placing the medicine cauldron in front of him, Xiao Li summoned a cluster of emerald green flames from his palm - No. 20 on the Strange Fire Ranking List, Netherworld Poison Fire! After throwing the Netherworld Poison Fire into the medicine cauldron, Xiao Li officially began to refine the elixir. Although it was his first time to refine pills, the system directly rewarded him with the experience of a fifth-grade alchemist, making him no different from an experienced fifth-grade alchemist now. Soon, the aroma of medicine filled the air... (End of this chapter)
