Chapter 599: Apprenticeship
Yao Chen's face was shrouded in moonlight, looking hazy and mysterious.
Xiao Yan knelt on the ground and looked up at him, his little face full of nervousness.
Many of the decisions he made were based on Yaochen's willingness to accept him as an apprentice, but when it really came to this point, he was a little apprehensive: what if the other party was unwilling to accept him?
Yaochen turned his head after a long time and looked at Xiao Yan who was kneeling on the ground.
Both of them were silent, and they could only hear the roar of beasts coming from the Demonic Beast Mountain Range in the distance, which made the atmosphere around them a little weird.
After a full five minutes, Yao Chen spoke, "Why do you want to worship me as a teacher?" ”
"Because you are an excellent alchemist, and your strength is also very strong," Xiao Yan said......
Yaochen smiled: "But why should I take you as an apprentice?" ”
Xiao Yan blinked, endless grievances and anger suddenly appeared on his face, and said, "In the past three years, the fighting spirit that has disappeared inexplicably in my body is your ghost, right?" ”
Yaochen coughed lightly and said, "I'm also forced to be helpless, don't be angry, little doll!" ”
"Do you know how much ridicule you've brought me because you've absorbed my fighting spirit?" Xiao Yan simply got up and said angrily.
The thought of this filled him with resentment.
If it weren't for Yaochen's doing, he wouldn't have fallen into the situation he is in today.
"Okay, okay, I'll take you as an apprentice." Yaochen smiled and waved his hand.
In fact, he had already decided to take Xiao Yan as an apprentice.
In the past three years, he has been getting along with the other party day and night, and the few hairs on the other party's body are clear, so he understands the other party's affectionate and righteous nature, so even if Xiao Yan doesn't say it, he will take the initiative to bring it up.
If he hadn't regarded the other party as his disciple a long time ago, he would have let the other party follow him everywhere in the tavern.
Hearing Yaochen's words, Xiao Yan smiled.
After briefly bowing to the teacher, Xiao Yan's eyes rolled and said, "Teacher, I worship you as a teacher, and I should also inform my father, right?" ”
Yaochen looked at him with a smile.
"I should ask my father to prepare an apprenticeship ceremony, otherwise he will reproach me for breaking the etiquette." Xiao Yan said.
"Little one......" Yaochen shook his head with a smile.
He knew Xiao Yan's intentions.
Over the years, he has lived in Xiao Yan's ring, and he knows the situation of the Xiao family very well.
The Xiao family is one of the three major families in Utan City, but it does not have absolute suppressive power over the other two families, the Galie family and the Oba family, and in some respects they are even lagging behind.
And within the family, Xiao Yan's father, Xiao Zhan, was targeted by the three elders and was not so strong.
"Now that I've become your teacher, I'll deter those guys for you." Yaochen smiled.
Knowing that Yaochen heard his careful thoughts, Xiao Yan said sincerely: "Thank you, teacher." ”
"It's just about the Time and Space Tavern, what are your plans?" Yaochen asked.
Xiao Yan was silent for a moment and said, "I want to inform my father, I don't know if the teacher has any opinions?" ”
"Honoring one's parents is a good thing." Yaochen nodded, "But don't tell more people, you understand why." ”
Xiao Yan nodded, he understood that only a truly strong person, or someone with the potential to become a strong person, was qualified to enter the tavern.
From this point of view, it was a little inappropriate for him to invite his father into it.
It's just that he also understands that once or twice a while, Qiao Mu will not blame, after all, this is within the scope of the rules.
"There is another person ......" Xiao Yan hesitated and spoke cautiously.
Yaochen opened his mouth, then shook his head and said, "She's here." ”
Xiao Yan was stunned, not knowing what Yaochen meant.
But when he heard the voice behind him, he suddenly came over.
"Brother Xiao Yan, it turns out that you are here."
Xiao Yan turned his head, looked at the girl Tingting who was walking towards him, and said with a smile: "Xun'er, why are you here?" ”
Xiao Xun'er gently wiped the sweat from her forehead and said with a smile: "Seeing that Brother Xiao Yan hasn't seen him for so long, I thought you were ......"
With that, she smiled and closed her mouth.
"Think I can't open it?" Xiao Yan asked.
Xiao Xun'er frowned and didn't answer, but the intention conveyed was obvious.
It's just that seeing Xiao Yan's expression, she was a little puzzled: Brother Xiao Yan looked confident, and he didn't seem to have been hit.
Xiao Yan smiled noncommittally: "How could I be angry because of that woman." ”
Xiao Xun'er nodded seriously: "She will definitely regret it." ”
Immediately, she looked at Yaochen suspiciously, and asked, "Who is this uncle?" ”
As she looked at Yao Chen, a thin golden flame gushed out from under her eyes.
Yaochen didn't think so, he stood with his hands in his hands, and said with a smile: "This little girl is a little interesting." ”
Xiao Yan pointed at Yaochen and said, "Xun'er, this is my teacher, you can call him Yao Lao." ”
"Teacher?" The confusion in Xiao Xun'er's eyes was even greater.
"That's right," Xiao Yan said, "The teacher is an alchemist, I'll tell my father at night......"
Xiao Xun'er took her eyes off Yaochen, smiled and nodded, but she doubted Yaochen's identity in her heart.
"If you have bad intentions towards Brother Xiao Yan, I will definitely not spare you!" She thought to herself, "It's just that it's only been a day, why does Brother Xiao Yan trust this person so much?" ”
Back in the Xiao family's mansion, Xiao Yan immediately took Yaochen to see his father.
Xiao Zhan, who was arranging things with his subordinates, was also puzzled when he heard that his son had returned home with a mysterious person.
After meeting, when Yaochen released a trace of his own momentum, he completely suppressed Xiao Zhan.
"Your strength?" He asked cautiously.
"Douzun 6 stars." Yaochen said lightly.
Xiao Zhan couldn't help but gasp.
He didn't suspect that the other party was deceiving him, after all, the trace of momentum emitted by the medicine dust made him feel like an abyss and a sea.
Now that he heard that the other party actually had the strength of Douzun 6 stars, he had only one thought in his heart: this person was terrifying!
"I don't know why this Venerable came to my Xiao family?" Xiao Zhan involuntarily bent over.
He knew in his heart that according to this person's ability, he could wipe out the entire Gama Empire with a wave of his hand, not to mention the Xiao family in the small Utan City.
This made him nervous, for fear that the other party would make some excessive demand.
"It's not because of this little guy." Yaochen smiled and looked at Xiao Yan on the side.
Xiao Zhan frowned and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"I've been taught by Yao Lao," Xiao Yan tried to keep himself from laughing, and said flatly, "but I think this kind of thing should be done with my father's permission......"
Xiao Zhan was dumbfounded: Is this still my son?
He suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, and said uncertainly, "Really? ”
Yaochen smiled: "I have a lot of fate with this little guy, and he is extremely talented...... I'm going to train him to be the top alchemist on the road! ”
"You're also an alchemist?" Xiao Zhan exclaimed.
Yaochen stretched out his hand, and a white flame appeared in the palm of his hand.
Feeling the terrifying energy coming out of the cold fire of the bone spirit, Xiao Zhan was surprised and delighted.
