Fights Break Sphere: The Fire Rekindles

Chapter 71 Master-disciple conversation
"I'm going to go out and deal with that old guy first, otherwise he will become suspicious." Fa Ma said.

"Yeah!" Xiao Yan nodded.

Xiao Yan looked at Fa Ma's departing back and breathed a sigh of relief.

No one would have thought that Xiao Yan would meet Gu He and the royal family just by selling pills. This forced Xiao Yan to change his original plan and directly reveal his identity to Fa Ma and let Fa Ma protect him.

If there was no Fa Ma's protection, then Jia Xingtian would not be looking for Fa Ma today, but Xiao Yan. Facing a peak Dou Huang strongman, Xiao Yan did not have a strong man like Hai Bodong to protect him. Unless he exposed Yao Lao, he would definitely be taken away by Jia Xingtian.

As for why Jia Xingtian didn't care about the strong man behind Xiao Yan.

"Haha, I'm just inviting your apprentice to have tea as a sign of hospitality. I don't have any bad intentions." Xiao Yan thought of all the words that Jia Xingtian should say to respond.

"You little brat, when did I ever say that I have accepted Fa Ma as my apprentice?" After Fa Ma left, Yao Lao flashed out from the ring.

"There's nothing we can do about it. If I don't say something nice, I'll be completely finished this time." Xiao Yan said embarrassedly.

"Who told you to show off when you are not strong enough? Who can you blame if something goes wrong?" Yao Lao rolled his eyes and said unhappily.

"It's not my fault! I just wanted to sell some pills, who knew it would cause so much trouble! I don't want to be in the spotlight, but my strength doesn't allow it!" Xiao Yan said helplessly.

Xiao Yan really just wanted to sell some low-level elixirs honestly, then detoxify Nalan Jie, get the Seven Illusions Green Spirit Saliva and leave the imperial capital directly. But plans can't keep up with changes! He unexpectedly met two princesses and the elixir king Gu He, which was something Xiao Yan didn't expect.

"It's really not your fault. Although you have encountered many things, my opinion is that your way of handling crises really surprises me. You can face these things so calmly and solve them perfectly in the end." Yao Lao nodded and praised.

Even Yao Lao admired Xiao Yan's experience. He did not show any impulsiveness that a young man should have. He was calm and composed, not like a teenager at all. He looked more like an old monster like him. When facing Nalan Yanran, the object of the broken engagement, anyone else would have been furious, but Xiao Yan was able to face it calmly. Xiao Yan was able to resolve Nalan Yanran's suspicions and tests one by one, without revealing a single flaw throughout the whole process.

When interacting with big shots like Fa Ma, Gu He and the Princess of the Jia Ma Empire, Xiao Yan, a young master from Wu Tan City, could actually remain so calm and not show any fear. Even young people from the big families in the imperial capital could not do what Xiao Yan did.

Moreover, Yao Lao had a feeling that if he really talked about shrewdness, he was probably not as smart as Xiao Yan, because he had been stabbed in the back by someone he had spent all his energy to teach.

No one knows how many secrets and thoughts are in Xiao Yan's mind. This is similar to the disciple who betrayed him.

However, Yao Lao was not worried about being hurt by Xiao Yan again, because from Xiao Yan's actions towards Xiao Xun'er, it could be seen that Xiao Yan was a person who cared very much about feelings.

Moreover, Xiao Yan was very grateful, which could be seen from his visit to the Imperial Capital this time. Although Xiao Yan had never said why he came to the Imperial Capital, Yao Lao knew that it was probably because of him, because when Xiao Yan first came to the Imperial Capital, he said that he wanted to give him a surprise.

"I feel so embarrassed by all the praise!" Xiao Yan said shyly after being praised by two old men in a row.

"Are you embarrassed? Your face is bigger than all the walls of the Jia Ma Empire combined." When Yao Lao saw Xiao Yan's shy look, he got goose bumps all over his body.

"I'm very thin-skinned, okay!" Xiao Yan argued.

"Okay, stop being so frivolous." Yao Lao rolled his eyes and said. "Haha, teacher, do you want to meet Fa Ma?" Xiao Yan put away his joking thoughts and said seriously.

"It's not suitable for me to see him now. When he comes back, you can give this to him as his gift to become his disciple! And do you really want me to see him now?" Yao Lao said jokingly after throwing a scroll to Xiao Yan.

After Xiao Yan caught the scroll, he laughed awkwardly twice. Now was indeed not a good time to meet.

"What is this?" Xiao Yan asked, looking at the scroll in his hand.

"These are some of the experiences in alchemy that I have summarized these days. If you hand them over to Fa Ma, he should be able to advance to a sixth-grade alchemist." Yao Lao said slowly.

"I have already prepared the gift for becoming someone else's disciple, and you still blame me for acting without authorization?" Xiao Yan curled his lips and muttered to himself.

"I can't be out for too long. The two outside are not simple. You just wait for Fa Ma to come back and give the scroll to him. I don't need to teach you how to say it!" After Yao Lao instructed Xiao Yan, he turned into a beam of white light and drilled into the ring again.

After Xiao Yan put away the scroll, he casually toured the secret room. After all, it was rare to see so many precious medicinal herbs.

Outdoors, after Jia Xingtian exuded his aura, he waited for Fa Ma to appear.

"Haha, why did you think of coming to me, old man?" Fa Ma came out of the secret room, walked out of the room, and asked with a smile.

"Didn't I hear that there is a young man with extraordinary talent here? So I wanted to come and meet him, and by the way, bring over the herbs needed to make pills." Jia Xingtian said with a smile.

"Originally, I was planning to bring that kid here, but the little guy left halfway for something, and he looked very anxious, so I didn't force him to come here." Fa Ma said with a smile.

"Old fox! It seems that you really have a close relationship with him!" Jia Xingtian narrowed his eyes and said secretly in his heart.

"Old friend, we haven't seen each other for so long, why don't you invite me in and have a seat?" Jia Xingtian continued with a smile.

"Haha, please come in!" Fa Ma said politely.

Fa Ma brought Jia Xingtian into the room. After they sat down, Jia Xingtian said, "I heard Yue'er and her sister say that Fa Lao and that young man have a close relationship. Could you tell me about his origins?"

"I can't say that we have a close relationship! It's just that when I was traveling, his master gave me some pointers, which benefited me a lot. In order to repay his master's kindness, I take better care of his apprentice." Fa Ma said lightly.

"Do you know his master? Can you tell you who he is?" Jia Xingtian asked hurriedly.

"I don't know his name. After all, we just met by chance when we were traveling, and we didn't mention each other's names. I only know that he is from Zhongzhou and his strength is unfathomable. This feeling has not disappeared as my strength has increased. Instead, it has become stronger." Fa Ma recalled the scene when he met Yao Lao and spoke slowly.
