Chapter 17 Xiao Yan's Indignation

Yao Lao rolled his eyes in annoyance.

"How dare you tease me, kid?"

At this time, Xiao Yan also reacted and looked at Xiao Ran in surprise.

"Ran, Ran brother, teacher, is what you said true?"

"What's true or false?" Xiao Ran asked in confusion.

"Just, that's what the teacher said, you know what he did with my ring?"

Xiao Ran nodded directly and said,

"I knew."

"what?!"

Xiao Yan's voice suddenly increased by dozens of decibels, as if he had suffered a great injustice.

Then he looked at Xiao Ran with a face full of grievance.

"Brother Ran, I love you so much!"

"But, you actually..."

"Are we still good brothers? Do you know this old Dong..."

"Oh no, my teacher is sucking my fighting spirit, and you're not stopping it?"

Xiao Ran rolled his eyes at Xiao Yan and said unhappily,

"Think back to yourself, when you became a fighter, wasn't your tail almost up to the sky?"

"Sometimes, when I'm sleeping, you come and show off your realm. It's so annoying!"

"If you are not given some training, your arrogant and conceited personality will sooner or later lead to big losses."

"Besides, I could sense that this old gentleman had no bad intentions towards you, so I didn't stop him."

Xiao Yan's eyes turned red as he listened to Xiao Ran's scolding.

Although he suffered much ridicule and mockery during these three years, his mind had already become very strong.

But that was in front of others, in front of people close to him, such as Xiao Zhan and Xiao Ran. He was just a child under fifteen years old.

Seeing Xiao Ran's depressed expression, Yao Lao also stood up to speak for his apprentice.

"Okay, let's not talk about the past anymore! As long as the ending is good, why bother about the process?"

Patted Xiao Yan on the shoulder,

"Okay, Xiao Yanzi."

"Your brother is right. During those few years when you first became a fighter and showed your talent, you were indeed a little proud."

He was educated by his brother-in-law and teacher.

Xiao Yan bit his lip and nodded.
"Yes, teacher, I understand."

"Ah."

Yao Lao nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Xiao Ran and said,
"Ran boy, you'd better not tell anyone else about Xiao Yan becoming my disciple. This will cause you unnecessary trouble."

Xiao Ran clasped his fists and said,

"Please rest assured, old sir. I will leave Emperor Yan to you."

Yao Lao smiled and nodded.

Seeing Xiao Ran's eyes turn, he suddenly asked,

"Ran boy, you can see that my character still needs to be tempered. How about you also take me as your master?"

Xiao Ran rolled his eyes and shook his head.

"No need, old sir."

"Just like the path you arranged for Xiao Yan, I have my own path to follow. Your path may not be suitable for me."

Then he glanced at Xiao Yan and said to Yao Lao,
"Besides, with Yan Di as a burden, you have to endure enough trouble."

"Haha!" Yao Lao shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Xiao Ran patted Xiao Yan's shoulder.

"Emperor Yan, come on, it's going to be a little spicy!"

"I'm looking forward to your performance! Haha!"

Xiao Ran burst into laughter.

By the time the laughter died down, the person had appeared on the path leading down the mountain.

Yao Lao looked at the figure coming down the mountain with deep emotion.
He sighed and said to Xiao Yan who was standing beside him,

"He is truly a genius!"

"Why didn't I meet such a good disciple back then?"

"I don't know which old freak has the opportunity to accept such an outstanding disciple?" In Yao Lao's mind, the person who can teach such an outstanding disciple like Xiao Ran is a gifted person.

It must be some peerless old monster who is hiding his true self.

He didn't believe it, but the Xiao family was now in ruins.
Only then can we train such talents.

Let's not talk about the soul skills that have long been on the verge of being lost, even just the heavenly level skills,
It is not something that ordinary people can hope for.

Xiao Yan stared at Yao Lao in a daze.

"Teacher, can you tell what level Ran is at now? He seems quite powerful."

Yao Lao glanced at Xiao Yan calmly and said,

"What's the point of asking so many questions? He's taller than you anyway."

"If you want to catch up with others, you have to work hard."

"On the path of cultivation in the Douqi Continent, it's not about who cultivates faster or how high their current realm is."

"It's about who can keep going. Do you understand?"

"Teacher! I understand."

Xiao Yan suddenly realized and nodded.

"I understand! Ran Ge has been sleeping, and I have been practicing. As long as I work hard, I can definitely catch up with him, right?"

Yao Lao: "..."

However, looking at the confident disciples, he nodded with satisfaction.

Then he stroked the black ring with one hand.

A piece of paper with medicinal herbs written on it fell in front of Xiao Yan, and Xiao Yan grabbed it.

Look at the things above.

"Three complete purple-leaf orchids, two bone-cleansing flowers, and a first-level wood magic core."

"What? Teacher, are you afraid you took the wrong medicine?"

"Do you really think I'm a wealthy dog ​​owner? These things together cost at least several thousand gold coins."

"I have been frugal for so many years, and I have only saved two or three hundred gold coins."

"It's not even enough to buy a level one magic core."

"That's your business, I have no right to interfere."

Yao Lao rolled his eyes and said proudly,

"Back then, the warming and nourishing spiritual liquid I prepared was not available to ordinary rich people."

"Now I'm just asking you to provide the materials, and you're not happy about it?"

Xiao Yan smacked his lips.

"Teacher, have you ever heard a saying?"

"What?" Yao Lao asked curiously.

"A good man doesn't mention his bravery!"

"..."

Yao Lao had just begun to develop half of his masterly aura when he was interrupted by Xiao Yan.

He opened his mouth several times, but no words came out.

Finally, he said to Xiao Yan,

"You have no money, but your brother-in-law has a lot of money, and so does his girlfriend. They are all the so-called wealthy people you mentioned."

"Can't you think of a solution?"

"This……"

Hearing this, Xiao Yan's face suddenly showed a trace of confusion.

Go and borrow gold coins from Ran Ge yourself, this is not a meat bun fight...

bah bah bah!
Brother Ran is really generous, but he, Xiao Yan, is not a softie!
After thinking about it, I finally decided to shamelessly go find Brother Ran.

At worst, you'll have to pay a 5% loan sharking fee.

When I become an alchemist, won’t it be easy to get as many gold coins as I want?
It's just a little bit of usury, so just bear it. The meat is still in the pot anyway.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yan instantly felt relieved.

Xiao Yan, who had just made up his mind, was about to tell his teacher about his thoughts.

I wanted to see the teacher and see if he could face the impending debt with me.

When I turned around, I saw that Yao Lao had disappeared.
