After chatting with Xiao Zhan and others for a while, Ya Fei was about to bid farewell and leave. Xiao Yan, who had been silent all along, also showed his enthusiasm as the host family, and under Xiao Zhan's satisfied gaze, he escorted Ya Fei out of the clan.

  Walking out of the family gate, Xiao Yan still didn't have any intention of going back, with his hands clasped behind his head, he closely followed beside Ya Fei, his eyes slightly narrowed, seemingly lost in thought.

  As she walked alongside Xiao Yan, Ya Fei's heart was slightly tense, her jade-like hands clenched tightly and covered in sweat. Her memory was exceptionally good, and she recalled the time at the auction house when she had caught a glimpse of the mysterious black-robed alchemist's hands - they were as white and vibrant as those of a young man. Moreover, on those pale hands, he wore a black ring identical to Xiao Yan's. With this coincidence in mind, Ya Fei couldn't help but think about why that mysterious alchemist had shown such favoritism towards the Xiao family. Some mysteries seemed to be on the verge of being revealed.

  She gently bit her red lips, and Yafei secretly glanced at the young man beside her. The young man was wearing a not-so-expensive green shirt, with a slender and agile physique, his hands clasped behind his head, looking rather lazy. His clear and delicate face, although still tender from youth, had an arc at the corner of his mouth that didn't seem to belong to an inexperienced young man.

  Carefully sizing up Xiao Yan, Ya Fei still found it hard to believe that the one who had made Gu Ni submit in the auction hall was actually a delicate-looking youth of only about seventeen years old.

  "Have you had enough?" Just as Ya Fei let out a somewhat helpless and bitter laugh, the young man beside her spoke up in a light tone.

  Her footsteps slowed down, and Ya Fei let out a soft sigh: "You... should I call you Old Master or Xiao Shao?"

  Xiao Yan raised an eyebrow and suddenly nodded towards the side: "Go in."

  Yahui followed his gaze and looked over, her cheeks involuntarily flushing slightly. It turned out that the place Xiao Yan was pointing to was actually a famous lovers' trysting place in Wutang City.

  Yafei hesitated for a moment, originally intending to weakly suggest changing places, but Xiao Yan had already swaggered in and sat down on the stone chair under the green willow tree.

  As for Xiao Yan's sudden change from being obedient in the family to being overbearing, Ya Fei could only helplessly shake her head. This transformation was too fast, wasn't it?

  Lotus steps slightly moved, slowly walked up to the front, sat down in front of Xiao Yan, a pair of tempting narrow and long beautiful eyes, shining brightly sizing up the boy in front.

  "Recognized me?" Stretching out his hand to pluck a willow leaf and chew on it, Xiao Yan asked vaguely.

  Yafei's jade-like hand brushed past the fluttering silk threads on her forehead, her carefree charm causing a man not far away to stare blankly ahead, pursing his red lips and sighing: "I'd rather believe I was mistaken."

  At these words, his eyes narrowed slightly, and Xiao Yan's teeth bit down hard on the somewhat bitter leaves.

  "You wouldn't be thinking of silencing me by killing, would you?" Seeing Xiao Yan's appearance, Ya Fei suddenly became somewhat fearful and said this, but a hint of a smile flashed across her beautiful eyes.

  "I'm going to rape you and then throw your corpse away." Xiao Yan said viciously.

  Listening to this somewhat rude remark, Ya Fei's pretty face turned slightly red, and she gave him a charming white eye, scolding: "Where did you little kid learn so many bad things?"

  He rolled his eyes, stretched his waist and since he had already been recognized, he didn't beat around the bush anymore: "The black-robed man who negotiated with you before was indeed me."

  "But the one who refined the medicine, shouldn't be you, right?" Yafei's eyes sparkled with a hint of a smile as she said this. She wasn't a fool and was well aware of Xiao Yan's abilities. Even if he was an alchemist himself, his own strength wouldn't allow him to refine a Dan medicine like the Gathering Spirit Powder.

  "Women are too smart, no man likes that." Xie Yan glanced at Ya Fei, who had guessed the truth eight or nine out of ten, and said with a smirk.

  "That's just some mediocre men's thoughts." Yafei raised an eyebrow, her tone somewhat disdainful.

  Xiao Yan rolled his eyes and, without bothering to engage her in this tedious issue, slowly spoke while chewing on the bitter leaves that had dissolved in his mouth: "You should know why I'm looking for you. My identity... try to keep it a secret for me. It's beneficial for everyone."

  He licked his lips, and Xiao Yan gave a deep glance at the charming beauty in front of him: "Of course, don't think of this as something that can be used to blackmail me, or else you'll end up losing out."

  "Do I look like that kind of brainless big-breasted woman?" Yafei innocently spread her hands.

  Xiao Yan seriously stared at Ya Fei's chest, the surging waves in front of her, and nodded after a moment: "The chest is indeed big, unfortunately, there is no brain, it depends on the performance later."

  “……”

  A young man several years younger than him, eating tofu with a serious face, made Ya Fei cry and laugh, shaking her head. Putting aside Xiao Yan's current dual identity, just his handsome youthful appearance alone makes it difficult for people to have bad feelings towards him.

  "What about our collaboration?" Yafei stared at Xiao Yan with a hint of tension, this was the question she most wanted to ask.

  "As before, you refuse to provide the Kaile family's medicine, I'll pay you five pieces of Jiqi San as compensation." Xiao Yan's calm voice made Di Ya feel a little relieved.

  "Hehe, I'm really looking forward to our cooperation." With a gentle and elegant gesture, Yafei stretched out her jade-like hand and smiled sweetly.

  Lan Lan nodded slightly, Xiao Yan grasped the delicate jade hand, but it was somewhat beyond Ya Fei's expectations, and he let go immediately.

  Looking at the boy in front of her who was acting completely erratically, Yafei couldn't help but sigh: "It really makes me wonder if you're actually only seventeen years old. I've found myself being led by the nose by you all along."

  Ignoring the topic, Xiao Yan waved his hand and stood up to leave, saying as he walked away: "In the future, let's still use our previous attitude towards each other, otherwise we might reveal a weakness."

  Smiling and nodding, Yafei said softly: "If you have time, let the alchemist behind you come to Mitter's auction house as a guest. We will always welcome him."

  Xiao Yan's footsteps slowed down, and he rubbed his nose, saying vaguely: "Let's talk about it later." He waved his hand again towards the back, and Xiao Yan walked away cleanly and neatly, without any hesitation or lingering.

  Standing still, looking at the boy's back getting farther and farther away, Yafei smiled wryly and shook her head, saying in a low voice: "He's really a little demon, I really can't understand Nalan's daughter, how could she break off the engagement with him? Alas, in the future, Nalan Su will probably regret it until he vomits blood."
