Chapter 5 Realm
Since that night, the Xiao family has had a different guest.
"Yan'er, what's going on?"
Xiao Zhan, the current head of the Xiao family, asked.
"Father, I have a friend who came to Xiao's house and wants to stay for a few days..."
Xiao Yan hesitated to speak. After all, things about Miss Wan were still somewhat sensitive.
If I don't tell her, I'm afraid some trouble may arise in the future, but if I reveal it rashly, with Miss Wan's status as an alchemist, there's no guarantee that the Xiao family won't have some small thoughts about her.
Just thinking about it, Xiao Yan still felt that it would be best to at least inform his father.
"Since he is Yan'er's friend, he is also a friend of the Xiao family, so he should be treated well."
Xiao Zhan nodded lightly and said.
"It's just that this friend of mine is unusual... She is an alchemist, and her status may be a bit special..."
"What? Alchemist?"
Xiao Zhan was stunned for a moment.
"...Yan'er, tell the truth."
Xiao Zhan suddenly became serious, put his big hand on Xiao Yan's shoulder, and said: "Where did you meet this person? A friend?”
Xiao Yan was startled, not expecting his father's reaction now.
"...Father?"
"Alchemists are arrogant and arrogant...For example, Gu Ni, the second-grade alchemist in Wutan City, knows his father, but he is not Such an easy-to-get-together person..."
Xiao Zhan said sternly: "As a father, I don't mean to doubt Yan'er, but I still want to say a few words, so I have to be on guard."
"Ah..."
Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that his father probably thought he had been deceived by some swindler.
"Father, in your eyes, am I such an easy person to fool?"
Xiao Yan's tone was somewhat helpless and he couldn't laugh or cry.
"Of course that's not what it means to be a father. It's just that Yan'er is still young, so he may not know that clearly."
Xiao Zhan said with embarrassment, he naturally believed it Xiao Yan, his youngest son has been very smart since he was a child, but he is afraid that sometimes he will be mistaken for his cleverness.
It's just that when Xiao Yan saw his father's appearance, he didn't intend to believe him at all, so he could only sigh helplessly.
He would like to take his father to get to know Miss Wan, but who knows if Miss Wan will be unhappy, although judging from his intuition, Miss Wan is definitely not that kind of person...< br>
It seems that now is not the time for his father and Miss Wan to get to know each other. When he thinks of this, Xiao Yan has no choice but to give up.
"If Yan'er has nothing else to do, my father will leave first."
Xiao Zhan said.
"Yeah."
Xiao Yan nodded lightly. He had grown up, and naturally he didn't want his father to worry too much.
Although Xiao Zhan has always been worried about the "friend" Xiao Yan calls him, he then thinks about it. Yan'er doesn't know how to behave in the world, but to be honest, he is not stupid. Even if someone is deceived, it can be regarded as a lesson to some extent. It does not do any harm to young people to gain wisdom from the experience.
Comforting himself in his heart, Xiao Zhan also relaxed a little, then quickened his pace and left Xiao Yan's residence.
“Alas...”
Xiao Yan couldn't help but sigh.
"What's wrong? You're sighing and not showing any energy at all."
Yao Wan's voice suddenly sounded from behind Xiao Yan, startling him. "Don't come out all of a sudden...it scares me to death."
Xiao Yan subconsciously covered his heart and said weakly.
He was not joking pretentiously, he was really frightened. In his senses, the yarrow really seemed to appear out of nowhere, giving his weak heart a great shock. A big burden.
"Ah? Is there one?"
Yao Wan was stunned for a moment. She did not mean to scare Xiao Yan, she just walked forward slowly and said something.
In the end, Xiao Yan's reaction was much greater than she expected.
“Of course there is—tsk, how did you manage to walk up behind me without saying a word?”
"Are you too slow to react?"
Yaowan snorted, but she realized what was going on.
Thinking about it, it is estimated that Xiao Yan is only at the third level of Dou Qi cultivation. It is somewhat difficult to detect her actions as a Dou Wang.
"Could it be because of the difference in realm..."
When Yao Wan was making close guesses, Xiao Yan also realized this to some extent.
Although there were some questions in his mind, Xiao Yan didn't think of anything and asked directly.
For Xiao Yan, how to get along with a mysterious alchemist, or maybe even a young alchemist, is not an easy thing to figure out.
"There is no need to think about boring things behind your back. Just say what you want to say. I hate talking in a roundabout way."
But Xiao Yan hasn't waited for Xiao Yan to do anything. No matter how he reacted, Yao Wan snorted coldly, penetrated his little thoughts, and said.
“…But if I speak unabashedly and make you unhappy, might I cause more trouble?”
Xiao Yan was helpless. The dominant role in the relationship between the two was not with him, but with the mysterious girl Wan in front of him, who always wore a cloak and a hat.
The strong are respected in Dou Qi Continent, while the weak will naturally be rounded and squashed.
"What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that I will be unhappy for a moment and slap you to death?"
Yao Wan's tone contained a teasing smile.
“…Well, yes, yes.”
Xiao Yan knew that he might not be able to scare her with his nonsense, so he admitted as if he was not afraid of boiling water: "That's right. You are better than me, so of course I can only accept it honestly——"
"Then you should work hard, practice wholeheartedly, and wait for the day when you can surpass me."
But Yao Wan's answer once again made Xiao Yan a little stunned. This girl Wan... no matter her words In terms of conversation, she is really not an ordinary woman.
This actually made Xiao Yan more and more curious about the background of this girl Wan.
“That’s all, aren’t you tired of always talking to others?”
Yaowan waved his hand, and then said: "One meal and one night are all kindness. I don't want to be a white-eyed wolf. Since you treat me as a friend, I will naturally not scorn you. From now on, you will only treat me as a person." Just be a normal friend."
"You..."
"What's wrong? You still don't want to?"
"I don't mean that. But..."
Xiao Yan asked: "I'm a little curious...about Miss Wan's realm."
"...So what if you know my realm? Can you still have more meat on your body?"
Yaowan calmed down and said slowly.
