Chapter 66 Yao Chen's Thoughts

Chapter 66 Yao Chen's Thoughts
After thinking of his father, Xiao Zhan couldn't help but think of his son Xiao Yan. Although his son was not talented, as long as Xiao Ling took action, he would definitely be able to cure this strange disease.

Xiao Ling wrote in the letter that after meeting Xiao Yan, he would personally check Xiao Yan's physical condition and solve Xiao Yan's talent problem.

In Xiao Zhan's opinion, a sixth-grade alchemist is omnipotent. As long as Xiao Ling personally checks it, there is no way he will not find out Xiao Yan's problem.

So in Xiao Zhan's mind, it was only a matter of time before Xiao Yan recovered his talent, and he never thought that Xiao Ling would not be able to see Xiao Yan's situation.

Thinking of this, Xiao Zhan planned to quickly arrange the things at hand and tell his younger son about this good news later.

Waving to everyone, Xiao Zhan said, "That's all I have to say. Go back and pack your things."

After hearing Xiao Zhan's instructions, everyone walked out of the meeting hall and headed towards their own courtyards.

I have to pack my things quickly because I will have to live in the imperial capital from now on. Some of the tribesmen who grew up in Wutan City have never been to the legendary imperial capital.

Seeing that most of the clan members had left, Xiao Zhan said to the three elders around him, "Three elders, the issue of selling the Xiao family store is now in your hands. I have some personal matters to attend to, so I will not stay any longer."

After receiving affirmative responses from the three elders, Xiao Zhan came to Xiao Yan, patted Xiao Yan on the shoulder, and said happily: "Yan'er, come with your father. I have good news to tell you."

Xiao Yan was about to get up and leave when he was stopped by Xiao Zhan. Upon hearing that Xiao Zhan had good news to tell him, his curiosity was aroused.

After a while, the two of them walked into Xiao Zhan's courtyard. Along the way, Xiao Yan was wondering what the good news was. Although he thought it might be related to the recovery of his talent, he did not dare to let himself think in that direction. If he had expectations and the results were not satisfactory, it would be even more painful.

After the two sat opposite each other, Xiao Zhan smiled gently at Xiao Yan, and without intending to keep him in suspense, he directly asked, "Yan'er, do you still remember your cousin Xiao Ling?"

When Xiao Yan heard his father asking about Xiao Ling, his heart skipped a beat, and his speculation became even more intense.

After thinking for a while, he replied: "Cousin Xiao Ling and I are not very close. I had a few exchanges with him when he was still in the family. I had some prejudice against him when I was young, but when I grew up, I realized that he was a very down-to-earth person."

Nodding, Xiao Zhan continued, "In fact, Xiao Ling has always cared about you. I didn't ask him for the prescription for Master Mitchell. He sent it to me after he knew your situation."

Xiao Yan on the opposite side was also a little surprised to hear this secret. Even he thought that his father had secretly used the resources sent back by Xiao Ling in order to treat him, or that his father had written to Xiao Ling to ask for it.

After all, he and Xiao Ling were not familiar with each other, so even if he knew that his talent had disappeared, he probably wouldn't care too much.

Seeing Xiao Yan's surprised look, Xiao Zhan smiled and decided not to keep him in suspense. He said, "In fact, in the letter Xiao Ling sent back, he also mentioned something about you. When we move back to the imperial capital, Xiao Ling will finish his work and return to the Xiao family, and he will personally examine you. He also told me that he probably has some understanding of your situation. If nothing unexpected happens, he can help you solve the problem of your cultivation talent."

Hearing this, Xiao Yan almost jumped up, but he could not conceal the excitement on his face at all. He clenched his fists tightly, his flesh and blood turned white, and he didn't even notice when his nails were embedded in his palms.

Seeing this, Xiao Zhan on the opposite side understood it very well. After all, going from a genius to a loser was not a feeling that most people could accept. Xiao Yan did not give up on himself and practiced hard every day, which was something most people could not do. …

Yao Chen in the Bone Inflammation Ring, after hearing the conversation between the father and son, touched his somewhat transparent beard and muttered to himself in a voice that only he could hear: "This kid named Xiao Ling is really arrogant. He dared to make such a boast without even checking it out. With my methods and the special features of the Bone Inflammation Ring, without a spiritual realm soul, it is impossible to detect any trace of me. I am looking forward to meeting that kid."

In Yao Chen's eyes, in a remote place like the Northwest Continent, it is impossible for a monster with a soul that reaches the spiritual realm at the age of fifteen to appear. Without extraordinary talent or heaven-defying opportunity, such a configuration can only be seen in the top geniuses among the ancient races.

Thinking of Xiao Ling going home to check Xiao Yan's body, Yao Chen came up with a plan.

After a while, when Xiao Ling has checked Xiao Yan's body, as long as Xiao Ling is unable to help Xiao Yan recover his talent, he will show up and accept Xiao Yan as his disciple. Not only can he use Xiao Ling's reputation to raise his image in Xiao Yan's heart, but he can also make his presence felt when Xiao Yan is most depressed. Then he can lie and say that he happened to wake up at that time, which will also make Xiao Yan's initial impression of him not so bad.

After all, Xiao Yan was his original target. If there was not a huge gap, Yao Chen would not give up Xiao Yan. However, if Xiao Ling's talent reached a certain standard, Yao Chen could abandon Xiao Yan and follow someone else.

The bottom line is that Yao Chen has never spoken a word to Xiao Yan. Even if they will become a model master and disciple who can sacrifice themselves for each other in the future, they don't have that experience now, let alone talk about feelings.

Moreover, Yao Chen's main goal now is to find someone to practice the Burning Technique and refine the most perfect body for himself. Finding a capable person to follow is also in line with his own ideas.

Rather than saying that Xiao Ling was examining Xiao Yan's body, in Yao Chen's eyes, this was more of a test for Xiao Ling.

……

After calming down his excitement, Xiao Yan finally felt the slight warmth in his palm, but he couldn't care less now.

Xiao Yan asked impatiently: "Father, when are we leaving for the imperial capital?"

Xiao Zhan walked up to Xiao Yan, patted Xiao Yan on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, you have already waited for two and a half years, what's the difference between these few days? Just take away the things you need to prepare, and don't practice these few days. Relax your mind and walk around Wutan City more. This is also where you grew up. If there is nothing else, we basically won't come back again."

After hearing what Xiao Zhan said, Xiao Yan's somewhat impatient heart calmed down, and his clenched fists loosened.

Anyway, these few days won’t make a difference, so I might as well adjust my mindset. The past two and a half years have been too depressing.

After bowing to Xiao Zhan, Xiao Yan said, "Okay, father. I'll go pack my things first."

After he finished speaking, he walked out in a flash. Xiao Yan was a little excited just now and didn't pay much attention. Now, he felt the pain in the palm of his hand. With his current low level of cultivation, he couldn't ignore such an injury.

Looking at Xiao Yan's departing back, Xiao Zhan was very relieved and whispered in a low voice: "Even if you have experienced a low period of two and a half years, your father still believes that you can still become a strong man. My son, Xiao Zhan, has never been a waste."
