Before reaching a street of the Nalan family, Xiao Yan and Hai Bodong separated, and then slowly walked towards the huge palace not far away.
Approaching the majestic mansion, Xiao Yan was shocked to see that there were many people gathered at the door, and all of them were wearing alchemist robes, with the few strands on their chests
The bright silver ripples proudly display their status and rank.
On the streets where people come and go, all passers-by will cast their envious and awed eyes at the group of alchemists who are whispering to each other. In their hearts, an alchemist is a noble person.
A profession like an aristocrat.
As for these powerful alchemists, the Nalan family obviously did not dare to neglect them easily. At the door, some servants were respectfully talking to the alchemists who were waiting outside. They found out that the other party did have the strength to enter.
Finally, they were released, but some alchemists whose strength was really questionable could only be rejected by them with smiling faces. Although this move made those blocked alchemists a little dissatisfied, considering the power of the Nalan family and the
Regarding the relationship between Nalan Yanran and the Yunlan Sect, they had no choice but to leave with a slight displeasure.
After staring at the door for a while, Xiao Yan discovered that the alchemists who were allowed to enter seemed to be third-level alchemists, while those who were rejected were second-level alchemists, and some even came to join in the fun.
A first-grade alchemist...
Lowering his head and glancing at the second-grade alchemist badge on his chest, Xiao Yan shook his head helplessly and walked towards the heavily defended gate of the Nalan family.
After squeezing through the crowd, Xiao Yan took a step forward, and an old man who seemed to be a housekeeper hurriedly greeted him. However, when he looked at Xiao Yan's young appearance and the second-grade alchemist badge on his chest, the turbid old man
There was some imperceptible disappointment in his eyes. Although the other party's age surprised him, this level did not meet the requirements.
Although he was a little disappointed in his heart, the old man who had been the housekeeper of the Nalan family for decades was not stupid enough to show it on his face. He showed a gentle smile and said with a smile: "This little brother, I am Nalan
Housekeeper of the family, you must also be here to try and see if you can cure Mr. Nalanjie of our family, right?"
Xiao Yan nodded and did not speak. His ordinary face, covered by the ice silkworm's skin, looked a little cold.
Xiao Yan's almost indifferent expression made the old man slightly stunned. This attitude was a little different from other alchemists. After a moment, he said helplessly: "Sorry, little brother, our request this time is that we need a third grade
Or a third-grade alchemist or above, you... seem to have not met the requirements?"
"Grade doesn't mean everything." Xiao Yan's voice was slightly hoarse due to his suppression, and his calm tone made the old man frown slightly.
Seeing the old man's helpless face, Xiao Yan shook his head, took out Ya Fei's recommendation letter from the ring, then handed it to the former, put his hands in his sleeves, and whispered: "Don't let me go to the hospital because of you.
Your old man’s last chances have been wiped out. Level doesn’t mean everything. Didn’t Alchemy King Furukawa also fail to treat your old man well?”
Xiao Yan's words made the old man's face change slightly. After receiving the recommendation letter and looking at the recommender, he couldn't help but look up at Xiao Yan in surprise. After pondering for a long time, he gritted his teeth and stepped aside.
He shouted at the guards at the door: "Get out of the way!"
"Sir, please go ahead. I hope you can really cure our old man. In that case, you will be our Nalan family's forever friend." Bowing slightly to Xiao Yan, the old man's voice was filled with the words Xiao Yan had said before.
This performance was actually accompanied by honorifics.
Xiao Yan nodded slightly, his face still expressionless, without any more nonsense, he slowly walked into the door, and then disappeared from everyone's somewhat astonished gaze.
Entering the gate, a pretty maid hurriedly walked out from the side, then said a few words to Xiao Yan softly, and then led the way.
Following the maid unhurriedly, Xiao Yan's eyes swept across this luxurious mansion. The tall and majestic buildings made him nod slightly in secret. Apart from anything else, this Nalan family is indeed worthy of being a member of the family.
One of the three major families in the Ma Empire, with such wealth, the Xiao family is definitely beyond their reach.
Walking on the path paved with blue gravel, Xiao Yan's eyes suddenly narrowed slightly. In his induction, ever since he entered the depths of the Nalan family, there were hidden glances and soul perception.
, that is, shooting out from some hidden corners, catching Xiao Yan's every move in his eyes.
He inadvertently raised his head and glanced casually over the eaves of a roof. There, some dark shadows were hidden in the darkness. The sharp arrow tips that were painted black, covering up the reflection of the sun, were slowly moving.
As they move in the mansion, any slightest movement will cause them to attack in an instant.
"The defense is indeed very tight..." Xiao Yan frowned slightly and shook his head helplessly. He looked up at a luxurious hall that appeared at the end of the path. Through the ajar door, he could vaguely see what seemed to be someone standing in it.
Many people.
Slowly walking into the hall, some low whispers came from it. When the door was opened gently, the low voices in the hall stopped, and then one after another looked at the door, and everyone looked at Xiao.
After seeing the second-grade alchemist badge on Yan Na's chest, they couldn't help but be stunned. Immediately, surprise flashed in their eyes. Obviously, they were all a little strange as to why a second-grade alchemist was also qualified to enter here.
Xiao Yan's eyes slowly swept across the hall. In the spacious hall, there were about a dozen alchemists wearing the same color robes. On their chests, they wore the badges of third-level alchemists. However, these third-level alchemists
Most of the pharmacists are in middle age, and two of them have gray hair.
Ignoring those surprised glances, Xiao Yan's slowly moving eyes rested on a middle-aged man at the head of the hall. This man was not wearing an alchemist's robe. He was sitting on a chair with a golden sword and a tiger's eye.
When opening and closing, there is quite an aura of calmness and authority.
His eyes moved away from the middle-aged man, and finally stopped on the beautiful woman beside him with a slight frown. This woman who was no stranger to Xiao Yan made him let out a slow breath in his heart.
…
Next to the middle-aged man, Nalan Yanran, who was wearing a moon robe, sat quietly, looking at Xiao Yan who entered the door with her beautiful eyes, surprise also flashed across her pretty face.
When Xiao Yan stared at the middle-aged man, the man also stopped at him, looked at the former's young appearance, was slightly stunned, then stood up, raised his hands to Xiao Yan and said with a smile: "
This little brother belongs to the Nalan family, Nalansu."
"Nalan Su?" As soon as he heard the name, Xiao Yan's hands in his sleeves trembled slightly, and the corners of his eyes jumped involuntarily, staring closely at this rather heroic middle-aged man. This man actually...
He is Nalan Yanran's father, and he is also the man who almost became Xiao Yan's father-in-law...
"Yan Xiao..." Slowly suppressing some inexplicable emotions in his heart, Xiao Yan said in a low voice with a slightly hoarse voice: "Miss Yafei of the Miter family recommended me to come over and try to see if I can detoxify Mr. Nalan."
.”
"Oh, haha, it turns out it was recommended by Ya Fei's niece. Please sit down." Hearing this, Nalan Su nodded suddenly and laughed.
Nodding slightly, Xiao Yan walked to the last position in the slightly strange eyes, and then sat down quietly. He naturally knew what those strange eyes meant. The problem that even Dan King Gu He could not solve was solved.
What can a second-grade alchemist do?
Sitting on the chair, Xiao Yan fell into silence, but he could still clearly feel that Nalan Yanran's eyes seemed to stay on him for a long time. He frowned slightly and thought to himself: "
Recognized? How is that possible?"
"Why does this man look familiar to me?" Nalan Yanran glanced at the man in black shirt sitting in the corner with her beautiful eyes, frowning slightly, and murmured in her heart.
"Haha, I believe you are all aware of the problems our Nalan family has encountered. My father was poisoned by the infamous "brand poison" before. Now the poison has exploded and he can no longer stand it. Master Furukawa came once, but he is still
He was a little helpless. Although he said that he needed to use strange fire to expel the toxins in the old man's body, the alchemists with strange fire were too rare and it was too difficult to find them, so he could only try this method.
"You are also one of the top alchemy masters in the Jiama Empire, and each of you has a unique ability, so I would like to ask you for help to try and see if there are other ways?" Nalan Su looked around.
, laughed with a somewhat deep voice.
"Not much nonsense, as long as you can cure the old man, I will definitely not disappoint you in terms of reward!" With a wave of his hand, Nalan Su pointed to a side door opposite and said: "The old man is inside, and he is still there.
Please try it one by one."
Hearing this, a dozen alchemists in the hall looked at each other. After a moment, a gray-haired old man stood up with a smile and took the lead in walking to the side room. However, ten minutes later, he walked out shaking his head and sat down.
He returned to his chair and smiled sarcastically at Nalan Su: "I'm sorry, Chief Nalan, the poison is too stubborn. The dozens of detoxifying pills I prepared have no effect."
Hearing the old man's words, Nalan Su and Nalan Yanran beside him both sighed in disappointment, looked at each other, and shook their heads with a wry smile.
After the old man, a dozen alchemists entered the side room one after another, but after more than ten minutes, they all walked out awkwardly. Obviously, they had no idea about the kind of poison that even Furukawa was helpless against.
That ability.
As the alchemists came out one after another with embarrassed faces, the disappointment on the faces of Nalan Su and Nalan Yanran became more and more intense. When the last alchemist came out, his mood finally sank slowly.
, Nalan Yanran on the side, her beautiful eyes were slightly red.
In the hall, a dozen third-grade alchemists no longer had the previous pride and pride, and remained silent with embarrassed faces.
As everyone fell silent, the atmosphere in the hall gradually fell into dullness. After a while, Nalan sighed solemnly and smiled reluctantly: "Thank you all, it seems that the old man is indeed destined for this disaster. Although
It failed, but I will ask the butler to give you a generous reward later."
Listening to these disguised words of rejection, everyone shook their heads with a wry smile, stood up, and wanted to leave. In this kind of atmosphere, they really had no shame in accepting payment.
"Let me try..."
Plain words suddenly came from the corner, breaking the silent atmosphere. The young second-grade alchemist walked out with an indifferent expression, and his calm voice made everyone in the hall look at him.
