Chapter 26 The Medicine Master Who Failed to Give Me Chicken Soup

Xiao Yan thought about it, tilted his head and said,

"It's like this, didn't I borrow one million gold coins from Brother Ran?"

"He calculated two million in interest for me, but now I have another one million gold coins that I picked up at a bargain price."

"Teacher, you said that if I return the one million gold coins, it is equivalent to returning the principal. If you add in the interest for today, won't I not have to worry about the interest in the future?"

Yao Lao's face was filled with black lines. He stood there for a long time, staring at Xiao Yan without saying a word.

Xiao Yan felt a little uncomfortable when being looked at by Yao Lao. He shrank his neck and asked,

"Teacher, why are you looking at me like that?"

Yao Lao was immediately furious.

"You've paid him back all the money, are you still going to repair it?"

"Besides, do you think that the one million you paid back is the principal?"

"Wrong! Big mistake!"

"That guy has been charging you interest since the beginning, so even if you pay back the one million gold coins, you still owe him the principal of one million gold coins. Do you understand?"

"Ah? No way?!" Xiao Ran opened his mouth in shock.

"I've already borrowed 500,000 gold coins to pay him back one million. Isn't that enough?"

Yao Lao rolled his eyes and took a few deep breaths to prevent himself from getting so angry that he exploded.

After a long time of calming down, he said calmly,
"Xiao Yanzi, you need money right now."

"Besides, it's only two million gold coins. As long as you practice alchemy with me, I guarantee you can earn five million gold coins in a year at most."

Hearing what Yao Lao said, Xiao Yan nodded excitedly.

"Okay, teacher."

"and!"

Yao Lao paused and continued,
"A successful man is not judged by how much gold he can pay back to others, but by how much gold he can borrow!"

"do you understand?"

Xiao Yan was slightly stunned, and his brain seemed to short-circuit for a moment. He looked at Yao Lao in astonishment.

Yao Lao rolled his eyes, knowing that his personal experience had been ignored by this guy.

He waved his hand impatiently.

"Come in quickly, you will practice in here from now on."

"is teacher."

Xiao Yan stripped himself naked in a few seconds without saying a word.

With a plop, he dived into the bucket.

Then he closed his eyes, sat cross-legged in the wooden barrel, and began to practice.

Looking at Xiao Yan who was practicing seriously,
Yao Lao finally found some comfort and nodded slightly.

Then he waved his sleeves and disappeared from the spot.

Early the next morning.

Xiao Ran, who was still asleep, was awakened by screams and laughter coming from the yard next door.

I could vaguely hear Xiao Yan's excited cheers.

“Yeah~~!”

"I, Xiao Yan, can finally practice again!"

"My fighting spirit is finally back! Hahaha."

Xiao Ran shook his head, picked up a pillow, and went straight to the yard in his pajamas.

He threw it hard towards the door of Xiao Yan's room next door, and it hit the door with a bang.

"Why are you howling so loudly so early in the morning?"

"Do you believe me? I'll come over and sew your mouth shut."

Xiao Yan's ecstatic voice next door suddenly stopped.

Xiao Ran shook his head helplessly, yawned, turned around and walked back.

It’s just that I can practice, what’s the big deal?

Look at what you have accomplished.

Xiao Ran now discovered that Xiao Yan was now very different from the impression he had in the original novel.

The slightest achievement gets him as excited as a leaf monkey.

That would be fine, but the key point is that it disturbs people's sleep so early in the morning.

Is this a big deal? !
Seeing that Xiao Yan had calmed down, Xiao Ran was about to go back to his room to catch up on some sleep.

at this time,

The sound of a door opening was heard from Xiao Yan's courtyard next door.

Xiao Yan walked out of the room quickly and came to the fence in the middle of their yard. He stretched his neck and lowered his voice to say to Xiao Ran excitedly, "Brother Ran, Brother Ran, wait a minute, I have good news for you."

Xiao Ran paused slightly and shook his head.

"not interested."

"But if you dare to disturb my sleep so early in the morning again, I will be very interested!"

After saying that, he walked straight back into the house.

The joyful smile on Xiao Yan's face suddenly froze.

At this moment, Xiao Yan heard Yao Lao's teasing voice.

"So? I told you not to come out to look for him."

"With your current strength, you are not even as good as a bean sprout in his eyes."

The corners of Xiao Yan's mouth twitched violently, but he still smiled awkwardly.

"Well, that's because I thought that Brother Ran has always been concerned about my practice. When I have good news, I naturally want to be the first to tell him."

"hehe."

Yao Lao smiled lightly.

"If Xiao Ran didn't know that you had accepted me as your master, and didn't know that I existed, would you still tell him?"

Xiao Yan hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No."

Yao Lao nodded and said, "Master understands your feelings. Everyone longs to be recognized by others!"

"Especially the people you trust, like, and respect!"

"But what I want to tell you is that in this world, no one really cares about you, except yourself."

Xiao Yan frowned.

"Visible..."

Yao Lao's voice rang in Xiao Yan's ears again.

"I asked, if one day you had an argument with Xiao Ran's girlfriend, which side do you think Xiao Ran would stand on?"

Xiao Yan said firmly: "Of course he won't stand on my side! Is there any need to ask?"

Yao Lao: "..."

Seeing Xiao Yan being ignored by Xiao Ran, he was somewhat shocked.

So he prepared a bowl of chicken soup, but he didn't waste any of his chicken soup and poured it all into the pot.

Yao Lao secretly said to himself that he had failed because the bowl of chicken soup was not well poured.

Change your mindset and continue pouring. No, say,
"Xiao Yanzi, don't think you can be arrogant just because you have made a little progress."

"Only by taking one step at a time and practicing well can we achieve our ultimate goal."

"Just think about it, if your cultivation level is higher than Xiao Ran's in the future, will he still dare to be so presumptuous in front of you?"

"Does he dare to ignore you?"

Yao Lao's slightly bewitching voice gave Xiao Yan some chicken soup, which made him daydream.

Just imagine, if one day, he reached the same level of Grand Fighter as his father.

Then, how dare Ran Ge act so presumptuous in front of him...

Emmm...

Xiao Yan had only thought about half of the scene when the corners of his mouth twitched and he shuddered violently.

"It seems... it still will, right?"

Yao Lao: “￣□￣｜｜”

However, Xiao Yan waited for a long time, but still no voice of Yao Lao came to his mind.

Xiao Yan couldn't help but ask,

"Teacher, are you still here?"

"Honestly, why don't you say anything?"

"Teacher, are you running low on energy?"

"Teacher, I thought about it and decided not to tell my father the news for the time being."

"I want to wait until next year when I take the retest for the Coming of Age Ceremony and give my father a surprise. What do you think?"

Yao Lao remained silent.

Xiao Yan scratched his head awkwardly.

"Teacher, the medicine you used up yesterday was consumed very quickly. In order to avoid not being able to find the herbs later, I'd better go out and try my luck."

"What do you think?"

A breeze blew by, blowing away the black lines and embarrassment in Xiao Yan's mind...
