"What? All the medicinal herbs have been destroyed? And Second Elder, where is he?" The angry roar in the great hall was almost enough to blow off the roof.

  A guard, trembling on his knees in front of Galibi, with a face full of fear, swallowed a mouthful of saliva and stuttered: "The Second Elder was also killed by that poisonous person!"

  The furious face suddenly stagnated, and Gali's heel suddenly softened. He sat down on the chair behind him with a thud, his face stunned. Gali was one of the only three great Dou Zhe in the Gali family. His death was undoubtedly a devastating blow to the already turbulent Gali family.

  Looking at Galibi's appearance, the guard who reported the news also had a look of horror on his face. At this time, in his mind, he was still echoing the terrifying strength of the black-robed man before. It was hard to imagine that the second elder of the three-star great Dou Shi, actually only met the mysterious person for a moment, and was burned to ashes. The terrifying scene almost made everyone present feel what fear meant.

  "Who killed the Second Elder?" After sitting in a chair for a long time, Gali finally slowly came back to his senses, his voice had a few hoarse tones, apparently, Gali's death gave him a huge blow.

  "I don't know, at that time the man was wearing a black robe, no one had ever seen his face, but he could control a kind of snow-white flame, and the two elders were killed by this flame." The guard shook his head and said in a low voice.

  "Black Robe? Controlling white flames?" A slight silence, Galebi's face changed slightly, manipulating the flames to injure the enemy, undoubtedly a method that alchemists liked to use. And it was possible that this alchemist had a grudge against the Gale family and also possessed the power to easily kill Gale Anger... These conditions made Galebi recall the black-robed alchemist he met by chance at the auction house that day.

  As he thought of the respectful attitude that Ya Fei and Gu Ni had towards the black-robed alchemist, Gali suddenly felt a bitter taste in his mouth. They seemed to have been wrong from the start, simply because of Liu Xi's words, they thought that the Xiao family had only invited a mediocre alchemist due to good luck. However, the current situation was telling them that the Xiao family's alchemist was far stronger than Liu Xi, that half-baked alchemist.

  Galebi slowly shook his head, and a flash of resentment and fury flickered in his eyes. The medicinal materials worth 400,000 gold coins had been destroyed, and due to financial difficulties, they still owed the Tralan City's medicinal family 300,000 gold coins.

  For these medicinal materials, Gali Bei originally intended to refine them into wound medicine and pay after they were sold out. However, the current change of events has shattered all his plans.

  The pharmaceutical family that collaborated with the Galle family also had a considerable influence in Trane City. If they were to learn about the destruction of their goods, they would certainly send someone to demand compensation. However, at this time, the Galle family's funds were almost depleted. How could they possibly come up with such a large sum? If they couldn't, the reputation of the Galle family would likely be ruined in an instant.

  "Damn it!" Thinking of the annoying thing, Galiel slapped his palm heavily on the table beside him. Suddenly, the hard black wooden table burst open, and the wood chips hit the face of the guard standing aside, but the latter could only grit his teeth and bear it.

  He took a light breath, and Jie Bi forcibly suppressed the violent anger and resentment towards the Xiao family in his heart. He waved his hand and calmly said: "Distribute all the remaining healing medicine in the warehouse to each district, and as for today's events, let everyone who knows about it keep their mouths tightly shut. If it gets out, the clan rules will be enforced."

  "Yes." The guard's body trembled slightly, then he respectfully responded with a single word and quickly retreated.

  Looking at the empty and spacious hall, Jia Lei Bei leaned back in his chair, exhausted. This time, even if the Jia Lei family could get through it, their power would likely be greatly reduced, and from then on, they would find it difficult to rival the Xiao family again. Thinking of this, Jia Lei Bei let out a inexplicable sigh, and for some reason, he now felt a twinge of regret over his initial decision to provoke the Xiao family...

  However, this regret has come a bit too late.

  ……

  After finishing some things, Xiao Yan also returned to his normal body and went back to his family. He asked Yao Lao to help him refine a nourishing pill, then hastily handed it over to Xun Er. Seeing that girl holding the pill with her slightly flushed, sparkling eyes, Xiao Yan felt an extreme sense of satisfaction in that moment.

  In the days following Xiao Yan's destruction of the Gali family's medicinal herbs, although the city of Wutan appeared calm on the surface, those with discerning eyes could discover that the Gali clan members who had previously sought trouble near Xiao Family Alley had quietly retreated, and their usual arrogance had also weakened. As for the Gali family's inexplicable actions, everyone was filled with suspicion.

  Xiao's residence, conference hall.

  "What is the Ga Lie family up to now? Are they showing weakness to us?" Xiao Zhan furrowed his brow, looking puzzled as he spoke to the three elders in the great hall.

  They exchanged a glance, and the three elders shook their heads simultaneously. After a slight pause, the eldest elder said slowly: "The abnormal is the strange. That Galebit guy is old and cunning, who knows what kind of evil idea he's brewing again. It's better to be more vigilant."

  Xiao Zhan nodded slightly, and being cautious as he was, he naturally wouldn't relax his vigilance towards the Gali family just because of their superficial actions.

  Xiao Yan's gaze shifted, looking at Xiao Yan who was sitting on the chair and almost fell asleep. He shook his head helplessly, this little guy seemed to have no interest in family matters.

  "Yan Er, have you met that old gentleman recently?" Xiao Zhan asked casually as he picked up his teacup and took a sip.

  Listening to Xiao Zhan's question, the three elders also cast their eyes on Xiao Yan. The old man's importance to the Xiao family was self-evident, but he seemed to have a special liking for Xiao Yan alone, and had never seen anyone else separately.

  As for Xiao Yan being able to enjoy this treatment alone, everyone else could only be envious.

  Xiao Yan lazily raised his eyelids and muttered, "Mm, I've seen him." After a brief silence, he added, "He said he plans to take me as his disciple."

  Listening to Xiao Yan's words, Xiao Zhan's hand that was lifting the teacup suddenly froze, and he slowly raised his head, his face fixed intently on the young man who had shrunk into the chair. He swallowed a mouthful of saliva, still somewhat disbelieving, and said: "You say he wants to take you as his disciple?"

  Raising his eyelids, he gazed at Xiao Zhan's face filled with wild joy and excitement, as well as the three elders' faces twitching beside him. Xiao Yan lazily nodded his head.

  "Good, good, good..." With a red face, he finished the tea in one gulp, and excitedly stood up, pacing back and forth in the hall, rubbing his hands together: "I knew my son wasn't an ordinary person! From now on, whoever dares to say my son is useless will be slapped to death by me!"

  Looking at Xiao Zhan's excited appearance, Xiao Yan shook his head helplessly and said in a low voice: "In another half month, I will go out to practice with my master... I'm afraid it will take a year or longer to come back."

  "Huh?" Xiao Zhan was taken aback, the smile on his face gradually fading, furrowing his brow, and hesitantly asked: "You're not planning to take the entrance exam for Jia Nan Academy? That's a renowned high-level academy in the Dou Qi continent. If you can get in, it'll be very beneficial for you."

  "I'll take the exam, but I might have to skip school for a year or two." Xiao Yan rubbed his nose and smiled faintly: "Although Jianan College is great, they can't help me surpass... Nalan Yanran in less than two years."

  Xiao Yan smiled slightly, his eyes slowly sweeping across the grand hall. It was here that the once proud woman had trampled her last shred of self-respect into nothingness.

  Upon hearing this name that was almost taboo in Xiao Yan's heart, Xiao Zhan's face twitched slightly and he fell silent.

  He slowly got up, lazily holding the back of his head, and walked out of the hall. The faint smile on the young man's face lingered in the hall.

  "Since she made a promise back then, I naturally have to keep it. Hehe, not to make her regret underestimating me or anything, just that when we meet, I'll casually mention that your taste is pretty bad..."

  After this chapter, the potato will be on the shelves. At 12 o'clock tonight, there will be an update. Before that, I want to say thank you to friends who support potatoes. Without your support, potatoes wouldn't have made it this far. Sincerely, thank you very much.
