"Xu Ran, did you hear that? Little Fairy has already decided to compete against me. What are you afraid of? Are you worse than a woman?" Xiao Yan's face broke into a smile. Seeing his plan succeed, he couldn't help but show a sly grin.
"Suit yourself. It's just as well your old man sent me out to properly discipline you, lest you do something wrong outside," Xu Ran said leisurely, casually taking out a ruler.
"This is..." Xiao Yan recognized at a glance that this was the ruler their father used to punish the three brothers when they were kids. He didn't expect that now Xu Ran would have gotten hold of this thing. Could it be that his father gave it to him?
Why? What's so good about that son of a bitch Xu Ran?
Xu Ran only knows how to bully him, to oppress him, how could Xu Ran possibly do the right thing?
Damn it, he even brought the Unity Ape to harm him, how could Xu Ran be a good person?
"This was given to me by your father before I left," Xu Ran said with a smile.
"Xu Ran, don't use my father to pressure me. I won't accept it! If you dare, let Little Fairy compete with me, if you win, I'll kneel down and call you grandpa. If you lose, you'll leave Xun Er alone and give her back to me," Xiao Yan said fiercely, clenching his fists.
He didn't believe he would lose.
He might be weak in terms of strength, but his alchemy skills were formidable!
With Yao Lao's guidance, and having studied alchemy for such a long time, how could he possibly lose to Little Fairy in this field?
As long as he won, he would be able to have Xun Er again!
Xiao Yan thought excitedly. As long as Xu Ran agreed to his terms, he could be with Xun Er again.
By then, he would reveal all of Xu Ran's doings to Xun Er. Xun Er was so innocent, deceived by Xu Ran. If Xun Er knew that it was all Xu Ran's deception, she would come to hate him.
Xun Er's identity was mysterious, he couldn't be clear about what exactly was behind her.
But with Xun Er's help, he believed his chances of defeating Xu Ran would increase.
"Xiao Yan. You actually dare to covet Xun Er? You know, Xun Er is already my woman. You should understand what I mean," Xu Ran said indifferently.
But how could Xiao Yan not understand what Xu Ran meant?
"You bastard!"
"Xu Ran! I fucking hate you!"
Xiao Yan was furious. The thought of his beloved Xun Er being completely possessed by Xu Ran was shattering his heart. His Xun Er!
However, things had come to this, and none of it was Xun Er's fault. It was he who caused Xun Er to fall. How much pain would Xun Er endure once she knew the truth about Xu Ran's character?
He couldn't blame Xun Er; he could only blame himself.
No matter what became of Xun Er, he would always love her unconditionally.
He had already missed one opportunity; this time he swore he wouldn't let go no matter what.
Xu Ran thought he could use this method to make him make the wrong choice? Not possible this time! He would never be fooled again.
"Xu Ran, this time, no matter what, I won't be fooled. No matter what, I won't betray Xun Er again, I'm not like you," Xiao Yan said proudly. He was a single dog; he had never betrayed his love for Xun Er; he wasn't like Xu Ran.
"Since that's the case, I agree. However, if Xian Er proves to be superior in alchemy, you will have to kneel down and kowtow to me respectfully before I acknowledge you as my grandson," Xu Ran stated. Given that Xiao Yan was hell-bent on courting death, he would oblige him.
"Fine."
Xiao Yan agreed without even thinking. In alchemy, he had absolute confidence.
In Jia Ma Empire, no one's alchemy surpassed that of Yao Lao!
At this moment, nearby, an elder and a young girl were watching Xu Ran and Xiao Yan's bet, observing intently.
On the elder's chest badge, one could see that on the surface of the archaic alchemy cauldron, four silver patterns were carefully drawn! That was the insignia of a Four-Star Alchemist! This was Master Otto, who had considerable fame in the vicinity.
The woman beside him was probably a little over twenty, with a delicate and pretty face that was quite enchanting. Her petite figure was surprisingly well-developed, with the right curves in the right places, exuding maturity. She was dressed in a purple tight-fitting alchemist's attire, which gave off a noble uniformed look, after all, the attire of an alchemist wasn't something one wore casually. However, despite wearing the alchemist's clothes, there was no badge representing any rank on her chest.
Her long, black hair was tied with a purple ribbon, falling over her attractive behind. When she moved, it gently slapped against those round and perky buttocks, the soft sounds resembling the delicate scratching of a cat's paw, continuously toying with the hearts of men around whose gazes were somewhat inappropriate.
This was Feilin, who had come to participate in the First-Grade Alchemist examination.
Feilin was baffled at this moment.
"Teacher, I didn't hear that wrong, did I? They are also here for the First-Grade Alchemist examination?" The girl asked Master Otto beside her, dumbfounded, unable to believe what she had just seen.
Has the world gone mad?
"In this world, there are countless talented and extraordinary people; there are many who surpass me, what's so strange about that?" Master Otto was also somewhat surprised.
"You are her teacher? And she has come to participate in the First-Grade Alchemist examination?" Feilin was still a bit dazed, walking up to Xu Ran and Xiao Yi Xian, and asked blankly.
Especially Xu Ran, who looked way too young!
Could such a person really be someone's teacher? If this wasn't empty boasting, then it must be quite something!
"Beauty. I'm here for the Second Tier Alchemist certification," seeing Feilin, Xiao Yan's heart began to stir again, ready to show off in front of Feilin.
"Pfft." Feilin looked at Xiao Yan, very disbelieving. She thought these three were deliberately putting on a show to get her and her teacher's attention. She had seen this kind of thing often and wasn't surprised.
"Since all of you are here for the alchemist examination, then come along," Feilin giggled with a smile. She wanted to see how long these guys could keep up their act.
Hmph!
Once inside the Alchemist Guild, if they dared to deceive her...
"Teacher. I think those three must be frauds. After studying with you for so long, I've only just become an alchemist. How could they possibly be so amazing?? And they even want to make Second-Grade Elixirs? That's a bit too boastful," Feilin whispered to Master Otto, walking ahead of him.
Being able to proficiently make First-grade Elixirs, and a disciple of Master Otto, over the years, countless people pursued her. And naturally, she believed there weren't many young alchemists who could compare with her. Becoming a First-Grade Alchemist was difficult enough; she didn't believe there were people so young that could make Second-Grade Elixirs.
