Chapter 123 Favors
When the time approached noon.

The tightly closed door of the house was pushed open by Liu Xi.

All of a sudden, the smell of medicinal materials left over from refining medicine rolled out.

Liu Xi pushed the door open and walked out, his eyes fixed on the center of the open-air courtyard, under the shade of a huge tree that was so thick that it took three people to hug it.

There, a quiet and beautiful girl was sitting cross-legged quietly.

Seeing this, he did not say anything to disturb them.

However, it seemed that he needed to deliver the pills refined today to the higher-ups of the Xiao family himself, and also give Xiao Yan the medicinal materials he bought for him at the Mitre Auction House yesterday.

"Damn it, I just don't know whether Xiao Yan has come back from wherever he is. He asked me to run errands, but his own people are nowhere to be seen..."

……

A quarter of an hour later.

In the courtyard where Xiao Yan is.

Liu Xi stared at Xiao Yan, whose clothes were soaked with sweat, smacked his lips, then took out the herbs from his ring and placed them on the stone table in the yard.

"I came back from the Miter Auction House yesterday and went to look for you, but I didn't see you. Looking at your condition, I'm afraid you just came back from somewhere not long ago?" he asked casually.

In front of him, Xiao Yan took a deep breath and took off his upper body clothes in the yard, revealing his lean body without a trace of excess fat.

"That's right. Sorry to bother you. I didn't tell you in advance, so you had to make an extra trip!"

As they talked, the two of them sat down at the stone table one after another and chatted about something else.

When they met today, both of them were very natural without any politeness. There were also some minor changes in the way they addressed each other. They no longer added each other's names before their words, such as "Brother Xiao Yan" or "Brother Liu" as prefixes.

The first thing that comes up is "you" and "me".

In fact, if you really count them, they have dealt with each other quite a few times in these days. After several times, they have become quite familiar with each other and have a common secret.

Therefore, the relationship quickly became familiar and people became more casual with each other.

Sitting aside, watching Xiao Yan collect the medicinal herbs that have the function of stimulating the meridians and blood vessels, Liu Xi touched the tip of his nose and said slowly:

"The seniors should have told you that it is best to practice a method of relaxation and hard work. You are overdrawing your body too much..."

Hearing this, Xiao Yan paused, looked at him with his dark and deep eyes, and said:
"I also want to relax and work harder, but the three-year agreement is only so long. The woman from the Nalan family was already a fighter more than a year ago, and I have only just entered this realm. Time...it won't wait for me!"

After hearing Xiao Yan's words, Liu Xi fell silent and said nothing more.

He thought about it and realized that he had spoken too much.

Being familiar with the original novel, he did know about the "three-year agreement" in the Yunlan Sect, which Xiao Yan won beautifully.

But that was just the result. The process along the way, the efforts, blood and sweat Xiao Yan put in, were the foundation that supported this result.

If he wants to achieve that result, Xiao Yan cannot stop!

Just as Xiao Yan said just now.

time does not wait!

Everyone has his own path to take, and Liu Xi is no exception...

"Okay, you go ahead and do your thing. I'm leaving now."

Standing up, Liu Xi waved his hand and walked out of the courtyard.

When he reached the gate of the courtyard, he suddenly stopped and said:
"The whereabouts of one of the remaining copies of the Pure Lotus Demon Fire Map is in the Tagor Desert."

The words fell.

He didn't stop and left.

In the courtyard.

When Xiao Yan heard this, his face was shocked. The next moment, Yao Lao, who was hiding in the ring, floated out and the courtyard door closed silently.

……

Outside, Liu Xi was walking slowly.

He was doing this as a favor. Anyway, he had no use for the incomplete map, so it would be better to improve his friendship with Xiao Yan.

It couldn't be said that he lost anything. Xiao Yan was destined to go to the Tagor Desert. He just informed Xiao Yan of some information in advance. The most he could do was to help Xiao Yan avoid some detours and save some unnecessary time.

When they got there, the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire was also waiting for Xiao Yan.

During this period of time, he had thought about seizing Xiao Yan's opportunities one by one in advance.

But first of all, he must have the capital and strength!

It turned out that he had no appetite to eat it.

Eat as much as your appetite allows.

In the system, he still has a "Pure Lotus Demonic Fire" that was extracted by chance, but what can he do now?
Isn't it just a temporary situation where you can only stare blankly?

Moreover, for Xiao Yan, the more strange fire the better, but for him, it was not the same, because the technique he practiced was not the Burning Technique.

Devouring the strange fire, that was the path Xiao Yan was destined to take, and there was no need for him to get involved.

He has no halo, and he won’t even know how he died.

His personality is more suitable for hiding behind the scenes, slowly completing system tasks and earning life.

After coming to this world for some time, he gradually found his position. He made full use of his familiarity with the plot to avoid risks, obtain opportunities, hide in the Canaan Academy which was most suitable for him, complete the tasks step by step, extend his lifespan, become stronger little by little, and wait for the final turbulent changes to come.

In short, it’s just one word: “Go”!
Everything is based on saving your own life and prolonging your life.

"Now go and hand the pills over to the Xiao family's higher-ups, and by the way, tell them that I want to take Xiao Yue as my student." Liu Xi muttered to himself.

Xiao Yue is a member of the Xiao family. In this world with strong clan concepts, he is an outsider. If he wants to recruit Xiao Yue as his subordinate to complete the system task, he must inform the Xiao family, or at least obtain the tacit consent of the Xiao family.

Unless, he has the strength like Yao Lao, and the mystery that makes the Xiao family and others "like a dragon that can't be seen from the head but not the tail".

Unfortunately, he has neither of these.

Another point is that after obtaining the consent of the Xiao family's top management, Xiao Yue personally will basically have no problems.

Just like a settling in stone, it will come to fruition naturally.

His strategy is called top-down, and it takes advantage of the differences in ideas and concepts among people in this world.

……

"Mr. Liu...Mr. Liu Xi? Why did you come here in person today?"

They came to the hall where the top executives of the Xiao family usually stayed to deal with family affairs and meet guests. In recent days, the third elder of the Xiao family with a hot temper was in charge here. When he saw Liu Xi coming, he greeted him straightforwardly and said in surprise.

"Haha, nothing much, I just spent too much time refining medicine in the house, so I came out for a walk and brought the refined medicine here."

Liu Xi said with a smile.

As he spoke, he took out the pill and handed it to the third elder.

After the Third Elder took them, he opened the porcelain bottles containing the pills in front of him without any hesitation and took a look at them.

This surprised Liu Xi.

After realizing what was happening, I thought to myself, this third elder in the rumors is really not pretentious.

After a moment, the fifty-year-old Third Elder put away the pills, smiled for the first time since they met, and said:
"Mr. Liu Xi, is your condition for refining medicine very good today? The quality of these pills today seems to be much higher than yesterday!"

Hearing this, Liu Xi's mouth twitched slightly.

He almost blurted out, "Aren't you being too direct?"
