Chapter 347 The Shadow of Wutan City

"Xiao Yan, what's the point of hiding behind a woman? If you have the ability, come out and fight me."

Xiao Yu said angrily with evil in his eyes.

Xiao Yan chuckled: "I'm hiding behind Xiaomeng because of my ability... If you don't accept it, hit me!"

Even so, he was ready to take action at any time.

Xiao Meng and Xiao Yu are both three-star fighters, but the latter has studied at Canaan Academy and has martial arts and fighting skills... If they really fight, he thinks Xiao Meng will suffer.

At this moment, Xiao Yan is actually not afraid of Xiao Yu. He can also use a "Baji Collapse" to deal with a three-star fighter with Xuan-level advanced fighting skills. There should be no problem.

"Stop! Why don't you take that embarrassing guy down quickly?"

A roar stopped the two sides from further conflict.

Xiao Yan looked at the old man standing at the VIP table in surprise, "Great Elder?"

Xiao Yu had a look of astonishment on her face. She couldn't understand why her grandfather, who had always been there to protect him, was so cruel to him now... and this was when his younger brother was beaten like this.

She couldn't help feeling a little aggrieved, bit her lower lip, and went down with Xiao Ning.

Looking at the aggrieved Xiao Yu, the great elder felt unhappy. But now for the benefit of the family, he must protect Xiao Yan.

Yafei, the senior manager of the Miter Auction House, had just revealed his tendency to cooperate with the Xiao family because of Xiao Yan's talent. This was Xiao Yan's attempt to bring benefits to the family.

At this time, he could not punish Xiao Yan, a great hero. In addition, we must also show to outsiders that the family attaches great importance to Xiao Yan, a genius, and we must not let others think that the Xiao family will bury him.

A faint smile appeared on Xiao Yan's face. Inadvertently, he saw Ya Fei pinching her glasses. He also found that many of the leaders of the forces who were invited were wearing monocles. He suddenly felt a little nervous. funny.

After all, not everyone's style is suitable for monocles. Some people wear them to have a unique style, some wear them to give people a feeling of gentleness, mystery or elegance, and others are not. Somewhat funny, like wearing a crown after bathing in monkeys.

"Teacher, is it a very popular thing to wear a monocle? You wear it, Yafei wears it, Caleb wears it...and many leaders of forces wear it..."

"You said I've been wearing a monocle?" Yao Chen's face changed slightly.

Keenly aware of the weirdness in Yao Lao's tone, Xiao Yan was a little confused: "Yes, teacher, what's wrong?"

Yao Chen hesitated for a moment, but decided to confess to Xiao Yan:

"Actually, there is a huge hidden danger in my soul body. When I was weak, some unknown creature entered the ring and eroded my soul.

"They seem to have extremely special abilities in terms of souls, and their weirdness is the only one I have ever seen in my life. I'm afraid even those people are not as weird as them...

"I don't even know where they are hidden in my soul, and I don't have a solution. However, after so many years, they have been very peaceful and haven't moved much.

"Only occasionally, it seems that some messages are transmitted to the outside world...Their transmission method is very covert. Although I can detect slight fluctuations in the soul power, I can't tell what they are communicating with, nor can I know what they are saying... …

"I'm pretty sure I didn't have this habit before. This is their influence."

"Ah?" Xiao Yan scratched his head, "Teacher, please don't fool me. I love wearing a monocle...how could it have such a strange effect?"

He didn't quite believe it, thinking that the medicine was always fooling him... After all, this effect sounded a bit funny.

"Silly boy, I didn't lie to you... It's just that before you pointed this out, even I didn't realize it and ignored it... They will change people's thinking unknowingly!" Yao Chen said solemnly. said.

"really?"

"Seriously, why did I lie to you when I had nothing to do? Do you think I would lie to you about such a serious issue?" Yao Chen rolled his eyes, "There are soul fluctuations again! It seems that they have also discovered that we have discovered the abnormalities caused by them. , so sending a message!”

At the VIP table, all the guests wearing monocles focused their attention on Xiao Yan, which made him feel like his scalp was numb.

"Wait a minute..." Xiao Yan's pupils shrank violently and he stared at the VIP table, "Isn't it right? Could it be that... so many people are affected by the weird creatures you mentioned, teacher?"

At first, he felt that the influence of "loving to wear a monocle" was childish and a bit funny, and he also thought that the medicine was always kidding him.

But when I really accepted that this was not a joke, but something real, I felt an indescribable sense of weirdness and horror.

"It is very possible that since those strange creatures integrated into the master's body will transmit information to the outside world, it means that there are others of their kind." Yao Lao said with certainty.

"Teacher, what should we do now?" Xiao Yan asked in a panic, "They are all staring at me..."

"It's just possible...you should calm down and think carefully. At this time, even if they are normal and not affected, they will still look at you...after all, you are the focus of the audience now."

"Um...it seems so." Xiao Yan scratched the back of his head.

"Also, you ask me what I am going to do? Didn't I say that? There is that kind of thing in my soul. You ask me...am I going to plot against them loudly in front of them?"

Although Yao Chen's tone was serious, there was not much sense of tension or urgency, which calmed Xiao Yan's originally flustered heart.

"This..." Xiao Yan didn't know how to answer for a moment. He thought for a while and said, "Is there no way to accurately distinguish them?"

Yao Lao responded in a slightly quick tone: "No, I should have said it just now. I can't find out the abnormality in my soul...

"Maybe you can ask about these people's previous living habits and see who has obvious changes and who suddenly loves wearing monocles.

"But even if you find out the results, it's useless, because we don't have the means and power to break the situation... Knowing the weirdness of those people, what can you do?"

"But can we just let it go? I don't want my father to become like this one day." Xiao Yan said solemnly.

Yao Chen said helplessly: "Before we have the ability to solve the problem, it is better to pretend that we have not found it. At least we are all peaceful now... If you insist on investigating them, you may alarm them and cause the crisis that could have been postponed to break out in advance."

Xiao Yan thought for a moment: "Teacher, do you think the forces behind Xun'er know something about such things? Can we use their power to deal with strange creatures?"

If it was just his own business, then Xiao Yan would never consider asking the forces behind Xun'er for help, but now it involves the entire Xiao family and the entire Wutan City, and Xun'er herself may also be affected.

"Stupid, even if you have such an idea, don't tell your teacher, just leave a clue secretly and give it to that girl." Yao Chen rolled his eyes, "If you mention it to me, they will know it too."

Xiao Yan thought about it and decided to follow Yao Chen's advice and pretend that he had not found it.

Walking down the stage, Xun'er noticed Xiao Yan's seriousness and abnormality at the first time, and couldn't help but ask with some worry: "Brother Xiao Yan, what's wrong? You look a little strange."

Xiao Yan hesitated and was silent for a long time, but finally did not say his discovery and guess.

"Xun'er, be more vigilant when you meet someone wearing a monocle." He reminded.

Xun'er was confused by Xiao Yan's nonsense... What does this mean?

She thought of the Jialie family, some of them like to use monocles as decoration.

"Master Xiao Yan, it's great that you think so. Yes, no woman wearing a monocle is a good thing. Master Xiao Yan, you have to stay away from them." Xiao Meng came over and said seriously.

As she spoke, she glanced at Ya Fei on the stage, and the meaning was self-evident.

"Okay, I will stay away from her." Xiao Yan said with a smile.

…

On the VIP seat, Ya Fei stroked her monocle, put on a charming smile, and communicated with the other Amons with soul power: "Yao Chen made our existence clear to Xiao Yan..."

"It doesn't matter, they can't do anything now. People wearing monocles are not necessarily parasitized, and people who don't wear monocles are not necessarily unparasitized." A spirit insect host who didn't wear a monocle raised his right hand and pinched his right eye socket.

"But since the undercurrent surging under the peaceful Wutan City has been discovered, the days of jealousy between boys and girls should end. Let's have a little real challenge..."

"Hehe... Then please welcome the first real enemy, the little villain Jialie family!" An Amon said cheerfully.

"Jaliebi... Call Jialiebi Amon... Are you ready?"

Through the relay of one clone after another, they contacted Jialiebi, who was far away in the Jialie family and was not invited to attend the Xiao family's coming-of-age ceremony.

"I have invited the alchemist Liu Xi, but I am just wondering whether to increase the difficulty a little bit." Jialebi took off his crystal monocle, wiped it with silk and put it back on.

"There is no need to increase the difficulty, the old man of the ancient clan is still in the city..."

"But I think it would be more interesting to make some changes and let the Xiao family suffer more losses."

"Let's vote... I vote to maintain normal."

"Increase the difficulty! I like to watch the fun."

"Maintain normal."

"Maintain normal."

...

The Amons in Wutan City conducted a regional "All Mongolia Referendum" and made a vote.

"Then follow the normal process and start Xiao Yan's journey as an alchemist!" Wumeng announced the action guide based on the final voting results.

However, it is worth mentioning that Xiao Meng and her subordinate spirit insects did not participate in this "All Mongolia Referendum". They were excluded by the Amons!
