Fighting: I am Han Feng, I respect my teacher

Page 169

"I'm not going to shop anymore, Master. You should focus on your important business."

Lin Xian'er said.

Gu Xun'er and Qing Lin both nodded.

They could also tell that Han Feng's emotions had fluctuated a lot just now, which meant that what had just happened was very important.

"Alright, let's go back to the Xiao family first."

Han Feng and his three companions left the Mittel Auction House and returned to the Xiao residence.

--------

"Chief Xiao."

"Mr. Han."

Upon seeing Han Feng return, Xiao Zhan was first surprised, then his face lit up with joy.

He had initially thought Han Feng had already left.

It's almost evening and they're still back, so they must be staying at the Xiao residence.

"Something happened just now, so I won't be leaving for a while. I might have to bother Chief Xiao for the next few days."

"What are you saying? I'd love for Mr. Han to stay here forever!"

Xiao Zhan immediately arranged for servants to decorate the room.

"Clan Chief Xiao, I'd like to talk to you a bit more about Xiao Yan."

"Oh? You go ahead."

"Could you tell me in detail what happened after Xiao Yan regained his talent a year ago, especially about his alchemist teacher?"

Seeing Han Feng's serious expression, Xiao Zhan dared not be careless.

He gathered his thoughts and began to tell Han Feng about the changes that had taken place in his son over the past year.

This time, Xiao Zhan also revealed that Nalan Yanran had broken off the engagement.

"break off an engagement?"

Han Feng was taken aback.

Xiao Zhan looked somewhat embarrassed.

“That’s the family of my father’s comrade-in-arms. In recent years, the Xiao family has declined, and compared with them, we are indeed not a good match.”

"It's just a pity for Yan'er, he suffered a lot of cold looks."

Han Feng nodded.

"Then?"

"After that, Yan'er's talent was restored, and she even took the opportunity to ask me for a large sum of money, saying that she would use it to buy medicinal herbs."

Han Feng pondered.

It seems that the teacher and Xiao Yan came into contact after the engagement was called off.

The disappearance of fighting spirit before was probably also the teacher's doing.

Perhaps they are checking Xiao Yan's character?

Han Feng guessed.

After all, fighting spirit is of no use to a soul.

“I asked him why he needed to buy medicinal herbs. He said he could have the clan’s pharmacist refine them for him, or I could help him buy higher-grade ones.”

Xiao Zhan continued.

"As it turned out, Yan'er said that he had taken an alchemist as his teacher and that these medicinal herbs were what the alchemist needed, so I didn't stop him anymore."

"It's just that Yan'er's teacher is unwilling to reveal his identity, so I don't know his name or what he looks like."

"However, he is real. Yan'er's teacher refined a lot of blood-clotting powder for the Xiao family, which helped the Xiao family win the battle of the market."

As he spoke, Xiao Zhan took out a bottle of blood-clotting powder and placed it in front of Han Feng.

Han Feng took the jade bottle, opened it, and looked inside.

This is a low-level healing potion, but it's already considered a very good healing item in Utan City.

"To be honest, Xiao Yan's teacher may have some connection with me, which is why I asked Clan Chief Xiao so cautiously."

Xiao Zhan was surprised.

Yan'er's teacher is actually related to Han Feng?

What a coincidence this world has to offer.

"Mr. Han, are you looking for Yan'er's teacher?"

Xiao Zhan asked.

Han Feng nodded.

"Let me think... When Yan'er left Wutan City, he was alone. I didn't ask him where he was going."

"It's alright, we can take our time looking."

Xiao Zhan asked with some concern, "Mr. Han, who is Yan'er's teacher?"

"He is a remarkable person."

Han Feng sighed.

"Don't worry, with him here, Xiao Yan will be fine, and he will definitely grow stronger."

Hearing Han Feng say this, Xiao Zhan's brows relaxed.

To be praised in this way by a Dou Huang powerhouse, it seems that Yan'er has truly found an extraordinary master.

"By the way, before Yan'er left, I told him that he could visit Stone Desert City on the border of the Empire when he had time, where his two older brothers have established their power."

"Okay, I've written it down."

Han Feng stood up and bid farewell.

After Xiao Zhan's explanation, Han Feng became even more certain of the relationship between Xiao Yan and Yao Chen.

It seems I've gained a junior brother?

However, my junior brother has had a tough time these past few years.

He was originally very talented, and if he had cultivated normally, he would be at least a high-level fighter now, or even a fighter master.

As a result, his fighting spirit declined over three years, causing him to fall from genius to rock bottom and suffer the heartbreak of being jilted at the altar.

Most people would probably have given up in this situation.

The teacher deliberately seized upon Xiao Yan's ambition to turn the tables and seek revenge, and then gave him a push to cultivate him.

The three years of trials were not only a test for Xiao Yan, but also a test for Yao Chen.

After all, the teacher probably has a lingering fear about taking on apprentices, which is why he is so cautious.

Once bitten, twice shy.

Han Feng wondered if he would scare his teacher to death if he just swaggered in front of him like this.

----------

Arriving at the room Xiao Zhan had arranged for him, Han Feng relaxed and lay down on the bed, a rare moment of relaxation for him.

Come to think of it, if the teacher had been lurking in the Xiao family all along, I would have actually had the opportunity to discover him back then.

At that time, my soul power was still in the mortal realm, and I didn't deliberately think about it, so I missed the earliest opportunity to discover Yao Chen.

If only I had found a teacher back then.

"Hey."

Han Feng sighed.

The missed opportunity back then made me waste so much effort.

But it's not too late.

At least I found it myself.

Han Feng drifted off to sleep with anticipation in his heart.

Early the next morning.

After having breakfast at the Xiao family's house, Han Feng went to Gu Xun'er's courtyard.

Yesterday, Lin Xian'er and Qing Lin stayed at Gu Xun'er's courtyard, and the three of them chatted until very late.

Perhaps it was a friendship unique to young girls, but the relationship between the three progressed very quickly.

Ling Ying watched silently as the young lady opened up and chatted, a smile appearing on her face beneath the mask.

The young lady is finally willing to make friends.

Before returning to the ancient tribe, friendships with outsiders were much more genuine.

Once she returns to the ancient tribe, the young lady will face many more troubles, and those "friends" who have come to curry favor with her will inevitably have some vested interests involved.

The children of powerful families may seem glamorous, but they also bear immense pressure.

Although Ling Ying believed that Gu Xun'er could handle the pressure, it would be difficult to have an ordinary and happy life again at that time.

Han Feng walked into the courtyard into the sunlight and saw the girls doing morning exercises on the open lawn.

In the soft morning light, different colors of fighting spirit appeared on the three girls.

Two of them condensed battle qi armor, and one condensed battle qi gauze.

Qinglin blinked her big eyes, looking at her two older sisters with a hint of envy as they donned their armor and looked incredibly dashing.

But I can only play with gauze clothes.

Golden battle qi danced lightly on Gu Xun'er's fingertips. Originally, the strength she displayed in the Xiao family was only that of a six-star Dou Zhe.

This is simply to adapt to local customs; if one's cultivation level is too high, one will appear out of place.

However, seeing Lin Xian'er and Qing Lin, one already a Great Dou Master and the other a Dou Master, Gu Xun'er felt that she no longer needed to hide.

Her cultivation level is the highest among them, and she is now at the stage of condensing battle qi into matter, which is the level of battle spirit.

"Mr. Han."

Gu Xun'er waved and greeted Han Feng as he entered the courtyard.

Han Feng smiled and nodded, signaling them to continue.

Ling Ying stayed in the corner and slowly revealed herself as Han Feng walked towards her.

"Old Ling, I have something to ask you."

"what?"

"How about you use your undercover agents to help me find someone?"

Ling Ying's eyes widened.

How did you know I had a spy?

"I just happened to find it while strolling around the city yesterday."

Ling Ying sighed.

As expected of the Medicine Venerable's disciple, his soul power is so strong that he can detect things from such a distance.
