Chapter 172 Nalan Jie is about to be buried in the grave
"Nalan Jie? Nalan Yanran's grandfather? Is he dead?"
Hearing Yao Ye's words, Zhou Chen was instantly surprised and said.
What's going on? This doesn't seem to appear in the original novel, right?
"Hey, Xiaochen, you also know that Nalan Jie is Nalan Yanran's grandfather? It seems that you have paid attention to her for a long time!"
Yao Ye looked at Zhou Chen with playful eyes, raised her slender eyebrows, and teased with a smile: "What, you are also interested in Nalan Yanran? She is not a light-saving lamp!"
"Well……"
After hearing this, Zhou Chen suddenly looked startled and curled his lips speechlessly.
Why are women’s concerns always so weird?
Isn’t the focus of the matter Nalan Jie’s death? Why did it suddenly involve Nalan Yanran?
"Okay, I won't tease you anymore."
Seeing Zhou Chen's helpless expression, Yao Ye chuckled, then straightened her face and said slowly: "A few years ago, Nalan Jie fought with an extremely poisonous fifth-level monster, the Iron Poison Seal Python.
Pass."
"Although Nalan Jie killed the poisonous python, he was also poisoned by a frightening toxin, the poison."
"The poison of this poison penetrates deep into the bone marrow. Only alchemists with strong soul power who can control the burning of strange fire can have a chance of survival."
"But where is it so easy to find an alchemist with a strange fire?"
Saying that, Yaoye smiled rather gloatingly, and continued: "In the past few years, Nalan Jie has been looking for alchemists with strange fires, while relying on his high-level fighting king level cultivation to suppress toxins forcibly.
, but as time goes by, the toxin’s rebound becomes stronger and stronger.”
"Finally, a month ago, the poison in Nalan Jie's body suddenly rebounded and exploded, and he collapsed completely."
"Although the Nalan family paid a large sum of money and tried to hire alchemists with strange fire, but unfortunately, there was no harvest."
At this point, Yaoye paused, then shrugged, and continued: "So, just last night, Nalan Jie was so poisonous that he died without even taking a breath."
After hearing what Yao Ye said, Zhou Chen's expression suddenly changed slightly.
Good guy, this is completely different from the plot in the original work!
In the original work, although Nalan Jie was bedridden due to burnt poison, he was lucky enough to wait until Xiao Yan happened to rush to the imperial capital.
After Xiao Yan treated him with strange fire, Nalan Jie successfully eliminated the toxin and returned to normal.
Therefore, the reason why Nalan Jie died suddenly was obviously Xiao Yan.
Either it is because Xiao Yan was delayed by other things and has not rushed to the imperial capital now.
Perhaps it was because Xiao Yan did not retaliate with kindness this time, but chose to stand by and watch Nalan Jie die.
Thinking of this, Zhou Chen immediately raised his head and looked at Yao Ye, asking: "In the past month, has there been a young alchemist named Xiao Yan who has suddenly become famous in the imperial capital?"
"Xiao Yan?"
Yaoye was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Are you talking about Xiao Yu's cousin whose engagement was broken off?"
Seeing Zhou Chen nodded, Yao Ye shook his head and said angrily: "During this period, the eight-year-old alchemist conference is about to begin. There are at least several thousand alchemists in the imperial capital. I take care of everything every day.
How can you pay attention to a young person?"
"No?"
Frowning, Zhou Chen suddenly remembered that in the original work, Xiao Yan at this time seemed to be using the pseudonym "Yan Xiao".
Thinking like this, Zhou Chen immediately asked: "Then have you ever heard of a man named Yan Xiao?"
"Yan Xiao? This name... seems a bit familiar."
Yao Ye hesitated for a moment, then suddenly remembered something, nodded and said, "There really is such a person! That girl Yue'er mentioned it to me when she came back from the Alchemist Guild a few days ago."
"She said there was a young alchemist named Yan Xiao who was so good at alchemy that even President Fama was amazed."
"Wait a minute, Yan Xiao...Xiao Yan?"
Yao Ye suddenly reacted and said in surprise: "That boy is Yu'er's cousin Xiao Yan?"
"should be."
Zhou Chen nodded, but began to think in his heart.
Since Xiao Yan was in the imperial capital, why didn't he go to rescue Nalan Jie?
After thinking about it, Zhou Chen felt that 80% of this was due to the butterfly effect brought about by Xiao Yu, the time traveler.
In the original work, the biggest reason why Xiao Yan endured the humiliation of Nalan Yanran's breakup of engagement and chose to save Nalan Jie was because he needed a medicinal plant from the Nalan family that could restore soul power - Qihuan Qingling Saliva.
The reason why Xiao Yan needs the Qihuan Qingling Saliva is to wake up the sleeping Yao Lao.
As for why Yao Lao is sleeping?
That's because Mo Cheng, the eldest elder of the Mo family in Yancheng, had Qing Lin, who had the green snake's three-flowered pupils, kidnapped. Xiao Yan went to rescue him out of morality, but did not want to run into the two fighting emperors of the Tian She Mansion, so he
After a great battle, Yao Lao, whose soul power was excessively depleted, had to fall into a deep sleep.
But now, because of Xiao Yu's existence, Qing Lin has followed her to Zhongzhou, and naturally there is no need to cause trouble like this in Yancheng.
If you don't go to Yancheng, Yao Lao will not be asleep, and naturally there will be no need for Qi Huan Qing Ling Saliva.
Furthermore, with the current strength of the Xiao family, Xiao Yan might have obtained some soul medicine from Xiao Ding long ago, and there is no need to obtain it from the Nalan family at all.
Therefore, without the need for Qi Huan Qing Ling Saliva, Xiao Yan, who has always had clear grudges and harbored hatred for Nalan Yanran, would naturally not be able to save Nalan Jie.
If you don't step on it, you are already very qualified.
And this also led to Nalan Jie's death.
Thinking of this, Zhou Chen's heart suddenly became enlightened.
Immediately he raised his head, looked at the smiling Yao Ye, raised his eyebrows, and suddenly asked: "By the way, why are you so happy that Nalan Jie is dead?"
"What? Shouldn't I be happy?"
Yaoye rolled her eyes at Zhou Chen charmingly, then snorted and said, "As one of the three major families in the empire, the Nalan family has always been deeply favored by the emperor."
"Not only Nalan Jie himself was registered as Marshal Lion Heart, but several members of the Nalan family, including the current patriarch Nalan Su, are all generals with important positions in the military."
"But even under such circumstances, the old guy Nalan Jie still sent Nalan Yanran to Yunlan Mountain, and hooked up with the Yunlan Sect, which our royal family has always been afraid of, and stepped on two boats!"
"This is not a betrayal of the royal family, so what is it?"
After a pause, Yaoye said bitterly: "I have long been dissatisfied with these scoundrels. If I didn't kill the Nalan family directly, I would be merciful."
"Now the old guy Nalan Jie is finally dead, haha, a good death!"
Yao Ye, who had scolded her a lot, was still angry and said with a sneer: "In a few days, when Nalan's family holds a funeral, I will have to organize a song and dance troupe from the palace to dance at Nalan Jie's grave.
