Chapter 29 The Jade Cup Broken Again
Xiao Zhan continued, "Ran'er, you and Yan'er have had a good relationship since childhood."

"My godfather has seen it all in these three years."

"You are not like the others because of the changes in Yan'er's body, just like those powerful villains."

"Father is very pleased with this."

Xiao Ran shook his head and said,

"Father, you don't have to be like this. In fact, Yan Di is not only my brother, but also my playmate since childhood."

“No matter whether he becomes an ordinary person who cannot practice, or becomes a Doudi, even an almighty being, in the future!”

"He is always my brother. When he is at his lowest point, I will encourage him."

"Even if he becomes an almighty being in the future and gets cocky, I will still remind him and punish him!"

After hearing this, Xiao Zhan clapped his hands violently.

He looked at Xiao Ran with joy and nodded repeatedly.

"Good! Well said!"

"Father was right about you."

Then Xiao Zhan said to Xiao Ran in a low voice,

"Ran'er, it's like this. Your father wants you to stay with Xiao Yan for a few days and investigate carefully."

"See what happened to him."

Xiao Ran fell silent after hearing this.

I was thinking in my heart whether I should give my adoptive father some comfort.

Otherwise, watching Xiao Zhan, who always thought that he was his own son, gradually sink into depravity, or even become crazy, would be a shame.

This may be a great pain for any father.

However, Xiao Zhan looked at Xiao Ran's face and thought that Xiao Ran had other ideas in his mind.
He shook his head and sighed and asked,
"Ran'er, is there a problem?"

Xiao Ran quickly said,
"No, godfather. I was just wondering how I should tell you about this."

"What do you mean?" Xiao Zhan asked with a frown.

Xiao Zhan's eyes suddenly lit up and he looked at Xiao Ran in astonishment.

"Do you know what happened to Yan'er?"

Xiao Ran nodded, thought about it, and said,
"Although Emperor Yan repeatedly told me to keep it a secret from everyone."

"But you are my child's adoptive father, and even more so the father of Emperor Yan."

"So I think it's necessary for you to know about this matter."

"Oh? What's the situation? Tell me quickly." Xiao Zhan urged hurriedly.

Xiao Ran organized his words and said,

"Actually, it's like this. Emperor Yan has always been normal, and none of the things that foster father said happened to him."

"But..." Xiao Zhan frowned.

Xiao Ran smiled and said,

"Yan Di may have changed a little recently, but it's not because he's insane, it's because he's become a disciple of a master."

"Master?" Xiao Zhan's eyes lit up.

"Elaborate!"

Xiao Ran nodded and said,
"According to Emperor Yan, he once practiced in the back mountains."

"He was noticed by a fourth-rank alchemist who passed by. Seeing that he practiced diligently, he said that he had the talent to be an alchemist and accepted him as his disciple."

"And in response to Emperor Yan's inability to practice, a corresponding solution was also given."

"If it goes as I expected, Emperor Yan should be able to practice normally now."

"what?!"

Xiao Zhan was holding a jade cup in his hand, and when he heard this, he couldn't restrain his temper for a moment.

The jade cup in his hand suddenly turned into powder with a bang.

The water in the cup flowed and wet the clothes on my body without me noticing.

Xiao Zhan looked at Xiao Ran with a trembling voice and asked,

"You...you...Ran...Ran'er, is what you said true?"

"Can Yan'er really practice now?"

"He has the talent of an alchemist? And he has a fourth-grade alchemist as his master?"

Oh my god! In Xiao Zhan's mind, that was a fourth-grade alchemist!
Not to mention in this small Wutan City, even in the entire Jiama Empire, he was an existence that countless powerful people looked up to. Even the royal family and the Yunlan Sect would treat him as a guest of honor!

I heard that my son Xiao Yan had the honor to have a fourth-grade alchemist as his teacher.

Moreover, his talent was restored and he was able to practice.

One can imagine how excited Xiao Zhan was.

Xiao Ran nodded and said seriously,

"That's true. I was also lucky enough to meet that alchemist once. It was exactly as Emperor Yan said."

Xiao Zhan nodded happily and wanted to speak.

But I found that my jaw had already dropped without me noticing.

He quickly supported his head with one hand and pushed his chin with the other, pushing it up hard.

With a click,
The jaw closed again.

Xiao Zhan was so delighted that he shouted three times.

"Okay! Okay! Okay! Okay!"

"Hahaha! Whoever dares to say that my Yan'er is a waste again! I will fight him!"

Looking at Xiao Zhan who looked excited, Xiao Ran couldn't help but feel relieved.

Fortunately, he only said that Xiao Yan had taken a fourth-grade alchemist as his master. If he had told Yao Lao's true realm and strength, I'm afraid his adoptive father would not be surprised, but frightened.

It’s possible that he might have a heart attack on the spot.

But even so, Xiao Zhan's brain was obviously greatly shocked for a moment, and his grinning mouth could not close for a long time.

But Xiao Ran could also understand.

Listening to Xiao Zhan's words, Xiao Ran smiled and said,

"Foster father, I think it's better not to tell anyone about Emperor Yan's restoration of his talent for the time being."

"Oh?" Xiao Zhan raised his eyebrows, obviously asking Xiao Ran the reason.

Xiao Ran said in a very secretive manner,

"Godfather, it is enough to have one genius in the Xiao family."

Xiao Zhan was slightly stunned.

Then he suddenly slapped his forehead in sudden realization.

"Yes, yes, yes! Look how worried I am about Yan'er. I was so flustered that I almost forgot about it."

"Although our Xiao family is one of the three major families, our strength is still not as good as the other two families."

“If they knew that the Xiao family had two geniuses, and they united to deal with our Xiao family, I’m afraid that the Xiao family would be unable to move forward.”

The more I think about it, the more I feel that this is the case.

Xiao Yan's talent was revealed that year, and he became a fighter at the age of eleven.

Xiao Ran was unwilling to fall behind, and he also achieved the seventh level of advanced fighting spirit that year.

At that time, the Gale family and the Otto family were ready to make some moves.

Later, if there had not been a rumor that Xiao Ran just slept all day and did not practice.

I'm afraid that the Xiao family has long been swallowed up by the other two families.

The three powers of Wutan City should just play badly together.

But the Xiao family has produced two geniuses in succession. How can the other two families tolerate this?
If Xiao Ran had not fallen into depravity later on, the Xiao family would probably not have waited until the Soul Palace came, and would have been humiliated by the hands of a villainous family and wiped out in Wutan City ahead of time.

People on the Douqi Continent may not be able to see these problems, but Xiao Ran, who is well versed in the Three Kingdoms, knows them.

We are all weak, but you have the opportunity. If we don't work together to hold you back, who else will we hold back?
That's why he made a prompt decision and chose to lie down and hang up.

He added fuel to the fire and spread the news of his own laziness to everyone in Wutan City.

This is not only for the safety of the Xiao family, but also for myself!
The Douqi Continent has never lacked geniuses since ancient times!

This prevented the Xiao family from being swallowed up by the other two families.

Only Xiao Zhan, three elders and Xiao Xun'er of the Xiao family knew the specific cause of the incident.

Otherwise, they would not have tolerated Xiao Ran lying down.

They knew that Xiao Ran had sacrificed a lot for the Xiao family, not only his strength but also his reputation.

Thinking of these,

Xiao Zhan couldn't help but look at Xiao Ran with emotion, and said with emotion,
"Ran'er, you've suffered a lot for the Xiao family over the years."
