In his excitement, Xiao Zhan forgot that a distinguished guest was scheduled to visit the following morning!

"Farewell!"

"Old Mo, see the guest out!"

"Yes, Chieftain!"

When Butler Mo returned, Xiao Zhan was still excitedly spinning around in circles. Although he didn't know if that alchemist could solve his son's problem, having another hope meant that it might just solve the problem.

"Clan leader, the Nalan family's guests will be arriving tomorrow morning..."

Seeing Xiao Zhan's excited expression, Butler Mo stepped forward and cautiously reminded him.

"Um???"

"Oh dear, look at my memory!"

Xiao Zhan looked towards the door in frustration. He couldn't afford to offend either of these two groups of guests!

“Patriarch, I believe that with the intelligence gathered by the Mittel Auction House, it’s impossible that they wouldn’t know that the Nalan family is coming tomorrow…”

Although Butler Mo didn't finish speaking, Xiao Zhan understood.

"call……"

Xiao Zhan breathed a long sigh of relief.

"I understand. You go back and rest. I'll go check on Yan'er!"

Since the other party is fully aware of this and still intends to visit tomorrow morning, he has nothing more to say.

He couldn't afford to offend a third-grade alchemist, especially since he needed their help.

At worst, I'd rather not have this face!

Moreover, his current strength as a six-star Great Dou Master was given to him by someone else.

"If I, Xiao Zhan, were a Dou Wang level expert, Yan'er wouldn't be...sigh..."

Never before has Xiao Zhan craved strength as much as he does now!

After leaving the house, Xiao Zhan walked quickly towards the back mountain.

He only stopped to greet Xiao Xun'er when he encountered her on the road.

"Strange, Uncle Xiao Zhan, how did you suddenly break through to the sixth-star Great Dou Master?"

Xun'er glanced in the direction Xiao Zhan had left, and muttered to herself in confusion.

Meanwhile, on the back mountain, Xiao Yan lay reclining on the grass, a blade of grass dangling from his mouth, thinking about the afternoon's test, and sighed softly...

Chapter 8: The Annulment of the Engagement Begins!

"Fifteen years have passed..."

Lying under the moonlight, Xiao Yan rested his head on his hands, murmuring in a daze.

Fifteen years have passed in the blink of an eye since I came to this unfamiliar Dou Qi Continent from another world.

For fifteen years, he stayed by his parents' side, enjoying the treatment of a genius, and gradually developed some of the characteristics of a teenager.

However, these three years without his talent gradually reminded him that he wasn't a fifteen-year-old boy; there was a twenty-year-old soul inside this body. (The author, Potato, was 20 years old when he wrote Battle Through the Heavens; let's assume Potato himself time-traveled!)

"Yan'er!"

Just as Xiao Yan was feeling sentimental, Xiao Zhan, dressed in gray clothes, swept up from the foot of the mountain and landed steadily in front of Xiao Yan.

"Father!"

Xiao Yan sprang to his feet with a quick movement, turned to look at Xiao Zhan, who was all smiles, and forced a smile back at him.

"Snapped!"

Xiao Zhan stepped forward and gently patted Xiao Yan's shoulder. Looking at his youngest son, whose height was almost as tall as his own, Xiao Zhan pulled him to sit down on the grassy slope.

"Yan'er, I have two good news for you. Do you want to hear them?"

Xiao Zhan looked at Xiao Yan and said softly.

Xiao Yan sighed, gazing at the bright moon in the sky, his right hand unconsciously fiddling with the grass beneath him: "For me, apart from resolving the issue of the disappearing Dou Qi, there's no good news right now!"

Looking at his son's dejected face, Xiao Zhan put his arm around the boy's shoulder and said, "Yan'er, today I bought two pills at the Mittel Auction House. Now, I am a six-star Great Dou Master!"

As Xiao Zhan spoke, he revealed his aura, and the Dou Qi fluctuations belonging to a six-star Great Dou Master appeared brightly in front of Xiao Yan.

"A six-star Grand Dou Master???"

Xiao Yan said he didn't care, but he was happier than anyone else to see his father's strength break through.

"That's right, the alchemist who refined the pill is currently at the Mittel Auction House."

"I asked Consort Ya about it. The alchemist just sent someone to say that he will come to the Xiao family tomorrow morning to check on the problem of your disappearing battle qi!"

"Yan'er, don't worry, even if it means giving away all my wealth, I will find a way to solve your problem."

"Now that Father's strength has broken through, his influence in the family will greatly increase, and I doubt those old guys will say anything!"

"Father believes that my son has never been a waste. You are a genius who became a fighter at the age of eleven!"

Xiao Zhan reached out and patted Xiao Yan's shoulder, then turned his head to look at Xiao Yan, who was staring blankly at him.

"Alright, go back and get some rest."

"Besides that alchemist, other distinguished guests will be arriving early tomorrow morning."

Xiao Zhan smiled, stood up, and extended his hand to Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan forced a smile, reached out and grabbed Xiao Zhan's large hand. The father and son walked down the mountain arm in arm!

……

The Xiao family home, Xun'er's room.

"Elder Ling, do you know why Uncle Xiao Zhan suddenly broke through to the sixth-star Great Dou Master?"

Looking at Ling Ying, who was standing respectfully bowing before her, Xun'er asked in confusion.

"A mysterious alchemist has come to the Mittel Auction House. The pill Xiao Zhan took for his breakthrough was made by him. This person's origins are unknown, and he is only seventeen or eighteen years old. According to my analysis, this person is very likely from a mysterious alchemist family in the Central Continent!"

Ling Ying said.

"An alchemist family from Zhongzhou?"

"Could it be the Holy Pill City?"

"The alchemists from Saint Pill City have appeared in this barren northwest region. Could it be for the strange fire?"

Xun'er muttered to herself.

"Very likely!"

Ling Ying nodded.

"Regardless of whether this person is from Saint Pill City or not, as long as he doesn't harm Brother Xiao Yan, we don't need to pay him any attention!"

"However, the young sect master of Yunlan Sect, who will be visiting tomorrow, is a huge problem!"

Xun'er gritted her teeth as she said this.

She just couldn't understand how Xiao Yan had a fiancée when she was only a few years late.

Oh, it was arranged before the grandfather died, so it's alright then.

"The Yunlan Sect is nothing more than a third-rate force on the Dou Qi Continent when Yun Potian was alive, let alone how many years Yun Potian has been dead!"

Ling Ying's words showed that she didn't care about the Yunlan Sect at all.

"Let's see how Brother Xiao Yan handles things after tomorrow!"

"If Brother Xiao Yan gets hurt..."

A golden flame flashed in the girl's eyes, and then she dismissed Ling Ying.

……

At the Mittel Auction House, Ya Fei, having received a reply, waved for the female fighter to leave, and then went to report to Chen Yang.

"Then, after breakfast tomorrow, Miss Yafei, why don't you come with me to visit the Xiao family?" Chen Yang said to Yafei.

“I…” Ya Fei was stunned for a moment.

"Of course, I don't know the way, so I need Miss Yafei to help me find it!" Chen Yang said with a smile.

"I almost forgot, Master Chen Yang, you've only been in Wutan City for less than three days!" Ya Fei covered her mouth and chuckled, her phoenix eyes full of charm.

"It's late, Miss Yafei, you should get some rest. We need to get up early tomorrow." Chen Yang shook his head. This Yafei, she truly is a vixen, so alluring with every smile and frown.

"Okay!" Ya Fei nodded, got up, and left Chen Yang's room, turning back every few steps.

……

next day!

The Xiao family's gates were wide open, and the servants were busy sweeping the courtyard early in the morning.

Xiao Yan got up very early this morning because he was hoping that a mysterious alchemist would come to his door and that he would have a chance to restore his talent. As soon as he went out, he saw this scene.

"what?"

"The news of Father breaking through to the sixth-star Great Dou Master has spread. It's so lively so early in the morning..."

Xiao Yan muttered to himself.

"Brother Xiao Yan!"

Just then, a silvery voice suddenly rang out behind the boy. Xiao Yan turned around and saw Xun'er, dressed in a purple dress, holding a thick book, standing behind him and greeting him with a smile.

"Xun'er!"

Xiao Yan subconsciously reached out and touched his nose, then looked at Xun'er.

"Brother Xiao Yan got up quite early!"

Xun'er skipped forward and stopped in front of Xiao Yan. Her lively and adorable appearance made the servants of the Xiao family around her lower their heads.

"I can't sleep when I have something on my mind!"
