The shocked voice slowly echoed in the empty secret room.
Ye Xiao was a little embarrassed. However, Zi Yan by his side did not think much of it. She continued to curry favor with Ye Xiao and begged for another serving.
That old man stared at Ye Xiao somewhat angrily. His gaze immediately turned and he unconsciously turned pale with fright.
In the next moment, tears involuntarily flowed down his face. He looked at Zi Yan with anger and helplessness. His index finger trembled as he pointed at her. He bit his lips tightly and said,
"Why are you here again?"
However, when he saw the faint medicine stains on her rosy lips, the corners of his mouth twitched and his eyes widened in anger."Do you think this place is a restaurant? Come over every other day for a meal? If you want medicinal herbs, can't you go deep into the mountains to find them yourself?”
"Why wouldn't I eat it when there's already something here? You old man, you talk too much. If you keep mumbling, I'll beat you up.”Zi Yan glanced at the old man and waved her small fist as if she was showing off her strength.
This old man, who appeared to have an extremely high status, could only grit his teeth in hatred. From the looks of his manner, it seemed that he was quite afraid of Zi Yan.
"Tsk, but I'm in a good mood today, so I won't hit you."
Zi Yan giggled as she turned her gaze to Ye Xiao. Her arms gradually once again wrapped around him and shook him with all her might. Her mouth would occasionally emit begging sounds.
Ye Xiao was speechless and could only pray that the Great Elder could find him successfully.
The atmosphere within the secret chamber was a little heavy. That old man seemed to be a little surprised as he looked at Ye Xiao. However, half of his eyes were filled with fury. If Zi Yan was not present, Ye Xiao was somewhat confident that that old man would definitely cut him into a thousand pieces.
A rushing wind sound suddenly appeared while the room was in a stalemate. After quietly landing, it was a black-clothed, old man. His eyes were sharp like blades. It was First Elder Su Qian.
Su Qian immediately understood as he sensed the strange atmosphere within the room and looked at the furious and wide open face of the Elder beside him.
She smiled bitterly and nodded to that Elder. She immediately walked forward and grabbed the petite Zi Yan. She nodded to Ye Xiao under the fierce rubbing of the latter's little canine teeth, indicating for him to follow her.
Ye Xiao bit her lips and looked apologetically at the elder before following him.
-------------------------------------
"Creak."
A wooden door was slowly pushed open. A ray of morning sunlight seeped in through the crack in the door and finally formed a thin ray of light on the ground.
As the wooden door was completely pushed open, the light rapidly expanded. Immediately, a human figure that was elongated by the sunlight walked out.
He had a tall figure, black hair that hung down to his waist, picturesque eyebrows, a nose that was like a hanging gallbladder, lips that were like thin wings, a delicate face, and a green robe that was like a lotus. His temperament was otherworldly and cold as ice.
What a beautiful young man.
Zi Yan, who was sitting on the pavilion and swinging her leg in boredom, immediately had an unusually excited expression on her small face when she saw Ye Xiao come out. She hopped onto Ye Xiao's body and used her nose to sniff the fragrance on his body with a smile. She said,
"Ye Xiao, my medicine!"
His face, which was expressionless due to confusion, looked at Zi Yan strangely. He involuntarily wanted to open his mouth and say,"Who are you…" However, the next moment, Ye Xiao, who was at a loss in the morning due to low blood pressure... He suddenly recalled the scene from yesterday.
Blinking her eyes, she used her long, woman-like hand to gently scratch the cream-white storage ring. A pile of bottles and jars appeared on the spacious pavilion.
After returning yesterday, Ye Xiao should have promised Zi Yan that he would refine medicinal pills for her.
"Roar ~~"
The glow in Zi Yan's dark eyes soared. She pounced over like a hungry wolf and opened the bottle. Wave after wave of medicinal fragrance spread. She immediately widened her mouth and swallowed and chewed bottle after bottle.
Ye Xiao was still standing there with an expression on his face. Although he remembered some things, he was still a little confused. Low blood pressure was indeed a little serious.
"Ye Xiao…I forgot to tell you…The old man is looking for you…Gulp... I want you to go…Burp..."
Zi Yan, who was chewing the medicinal pill in a gulping manner, spoke to Ye Xiao in a stuttering manner.
Hearing this, Ye Xiao bent her head, not understanding the situation for a moment.
The morning sunlight was extremely comfortable and pleasant. Zi Yan saw that Ye Xiao was still unmoving and was instead looking at her in a daze. Her somewhat natural pretty face caused her to be in a trance. Immediately, her small face heated up. She waved her small hand in a manner that seemed to cover it and roared at Ye Xiao,
"Hurry up and go! Why are you staring at me?"
A loud and clear voice exploded in Ye Xiao's ears. Ye Xiao's mind was in a mess. After a moment of clarity, he suddenly woke up and took a step towards a building in the inner courtyard.
The inner court was extremely quiet in the early morning. From time to time, he could hear the chirping of birds and the sound of some hard-working students cultivating.
Ye Xiao's figure was like a ghost, almost in a straight line, passing by the few people he occasionally met, leaving only those students at a loss.
Arriving at the Great Elder's office, Ye Xiao politely knocked on the door, but due to his temperament, he did not say anything.
"Come in!"
Ye Xiao only slowly pushed the door open after an old voice sounded from within the door. She saw Su Qian, who was dressed in ordinary clothes.
"First Elder…"
Ye Xiao did not receive any etiquette education, but from the depths of his heart, he actually bowed to Su Qian in an extremely courteous manner.
Su Qian felt even more emotional in his heart when he saw the former's manner. Back then, an extremely beautiful young lady who looked extremely similar to him also had such an appearance and respectfully addressed him as instructor.
Even though he was even more curious about Ye Xiao's background, he did not ask much. The Great Elder stood up with his back facing Ye Xiao and slowly said,"
"You are now a student of the Jia Nan Academy. I wonder what plans you have?”
Ye Xiao was also aware that her strength was already far ahead of everyone. It was meaningless to continue training. Moreover, there was only one goal for this trip, which was to find Xiao Yan and ask about the Little Fairy Doctor's whereabouts.
Hence, Ye Xiao continued her usual coldness as she spoke to Su Qian without any emotion,
"I want to go to the outer court."
The Great Elder was taken aback and turned around. His eyes that were as sharp as a cheetah stared straight at Ye Xiao. After a long time, he finally opened his mouth and said,"
"Although I don't know what you want, the conditions of the Inner Academy are still more important than the Outer Academy.”
Ye Xiao's body trembled and was about to speak when he was interrupted by the Great Elder.
"Could it be…"
"You want to sign up for that alchemist class?”
Ye Xiao's eyes flashed and he snickered in his heart, but he still nodded.
Su Qian nodded when he saw the latter's reaction. He said something like,"Yes, not bad." After which, he waved his hand and instructed the few of them to let Ye Xiao follow them.
Ye Xiao nodded and was about to leave when he heard the old man's voice slowly coming from behind the door."
"It is somewhat troublesome to enter the Inner Academy from the Outer Academy…But for you…I didn't say anything."
Although it was a useless reminder, Ye Xiao was still somewhat touched. He had been alone for more than ten years besides his sister and Hong Ji, but the old man's words made him feel warm again.
------------------------------------------、
"You... Are you going to the outer court?"
Zi Yan, who was lying on the ground without a care for her image, spoke to me.
"Yeah," she said.
“.....”
She revealed an extremely pitiful expression, and a thin mist flashed in her amethyst eyes.
"Can we not leave…"
My heart trembled. Although we had only known each other for a few days, I didn't expect her to take this relationship so seriously. My heart wavered slightly.
"I still have to go for another two years…"
The mist became thicker and thicker. She bit her red lips and looked at me pitifully.
“....”
His heart couldn't help but waver. Looking at her cute expression, he felt a sense of guilt. I didn't expect him to miss me so much.
"I…"
I opened my mouth to speak, but was interrupted by her. After hearing her words, I immediately turned around and left.
"Then I won't be able to eat medicinal pills for two years."
P.S.: This chapter is barely enough for the mid-term exam. The pear is really big.
Also, Aroma was about to appear two or three times later…
Hey, don't hit me
