Three human figures were seated in front of a table in a somewhat dark room. The atmosphere was somewhat depressing. This caused the hosts, Gu Li and Chi Lin, to have some embarrassment on their faces.
Xiao Yan also smiled when he saw this. A glint flashed deep within his eyes. He slowly placed the teacup in his hand down, narrowed his eyes, and looked at Gu Li as he laughed.
"Chairman Gu Li has called me over. May I know what matter you have to discuss?"
Gu Li and Chi Lin exchanged glances when they sensed the slight strangeness in Xiao Yan's tone. However, both of them frowned slightly.
They were naturally able to hear the thread of dissatisfaction within Xiao Yan's words.
Being a dignified Ban Di and a rank two alchemist, even they did not dare to underestimate him when they saw him.
Today, however, the person whom the two of them had sent to invite Xiao Yan was actually only at the Dou Zun class. Such actions would appear to be an act of intentionally slapping their faces in the eyes of anyone. The dissatisfaction in their hearts went without saying.
At this moment, the word 'call' in Xiao Yan's words appeared to be quite forceful when he said it. It was clearly intentional. This caused Gu Li and Chi Lin to feel extremely embarrassed in their hearts.
It was a long while later before Chi Lin by the side finally laughed out loud. His face squeezed out an awkward smile as he smiled at Xiao Yan and said,
"Brother Yan Xiao is too polite. With your status, what qualification do we have to randomly order you around? It is just that there are many matters to attend to within the association. The chairman and the both of us are tied up by some trivial matters and are unable to personally invite you over. Hence, we have sent someone over. If there is anything that is not satisfactory, I hope that brother Yan Xiao can understand!"
Gu Li, who was seated close to Xiao Yan, smiled awkwardly and nodded to Xiao Yan after Chi Lin's words were spoken.
Xiao Yan merely laughed coldly in the face of this and said,
"Since the two of you are unable to leave due to some matters, don't tell me that you can't find a Dou Sheng in this large Alchemist Association? You are inviting someone, yet you are so petty as to only use Dou Zun. I am at the very least a Ban Di. Don't tell me that the two of you look down on me? If this is the case, I will leave immediately!"
Before his voice sounded, Xiao Yan had already stood up. His face was cold as he walked out of the door. Gu Li and Chi Lin's faces immediately paled when they saw this scene. Their bodies flashed and appeared in front of Xiao Yan. Their faces were full of smiles. They were just about to speak when Xiao Yan once again opened his mouth and spoke in an indifferent tone..
Do you intend to use your strength to forcefully keep me here? "
The moment Xiao Yan's words were uttered, Gu Li and Xiao Yan were once again startled. Gu Li could not be bothered about anything else as he hurriedly opened his mouth and said,
"Brother Yan Xiao, you misunderstood. Brother Yan Xiao, you misunderstood! This old brother is also helpless. If Brother Yan doesn't mind, can you sit down and listen to what the old me has to say? "
A glint flashed across Xiao Yan's eyes when these words of Gu Li were spoken. He smiled in his heart but his face still maintained a cold and indifferent manner. He turned around and sat in front of the table.
Gu Li and Chi Lin sighed in relief in their hearts when they saw Xiao Yan return to his original seat. They sighed softly and returned to their original seats. They looked at Xiao Yan together. It was as though they were afraid that Xiao Yan would run away again. Both of their eyes stared intently at Xiao Yan and were unwilling to shift away even a little.
"Cough cough …"
Xiao Yan's old face reddened when he was stared at in this manner by the two of them. He was afraid that these two old fellows would be able to see through something. He hurriedly coughed twice before waking the two of them who were once again silent.
After recovering, Gu Li and Chi Lin once again looked at each other. The corners of their mouths curled slightly. After which, Gu Li sighed once again and slowly opened his mouth to speak.
"Brother Yan Xiao, it is not that the old me, Gu Li, looks down on you. With Brother Yan Xiao's ability, no matter if it is strength or alchemy skills, no one will dare to look down on you in this southwest border. However …"
Gu Li paused for a moment when he spoke until this point. He glanced at Chi Lin before using his eyes to sweep around, as though he was afraid that something was eavesdropping. After a long while, after confirming that there was no one around, he continued to speak.
"However, the matter that the old me wants to talk about may cause Wei Yi to be dissatisfied in his heart. However, he is after all the chief alchemist of our Alchemist Association. Normally, he has quite a bit of control over the matters of the association. If we openly invite Brother Yan Xiao here, I'm afraid that we will inevitably bump into him. Therefore, we can only helplessly choose to do this."
Xiao Yan involuntarily frowned slightly when Gu Li's words reached this point. Even Wei Yi would feel dissatisfied after hearing it. Could it be that these two old fellows really wanted to forcefully vacate the position of chief alchemist in order to tie him down?
Xiao Yan also felt a little displeased in his heart when he thought of this. His natural disposition was undisciplined and he was used to roaming all over the place. If these two old fellows really wanted to forcefully keep him here, it was likely that Xiao Yan would not stay even if they used all their strength.
However, even though he had such thoughts in his heart, Xiao Yan really did not think that these two kind old men in front of him were such pedantic people before he knew the answer.
"Brother Yan Xiao should also know that the Alchemist Grand Meeting is imminent. There are quite a number of people who have come to participate in the Alchemist Grand Meeting this time around. Even the disciples of some of the large factions have been attracted to come. Hence, the value of this Alchemist Grand Meeting can be said to be the greatest in many years!"
"Of course, there are quite a number of people among them who have come for the champion spot of this Alchemist Grand Meeting. However, everyone knows that this champion spot is not easy to obtain!"
Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows. Could the matter that Gu Li wanted to talk to him about be related to this Alchemist Grand Meeting?
When he thought of the Alchemist Grand Meeting, in addition to Wei Yi that Gu Li had mentioned earlier, and the rank two alchemist from Nanlin City, Mo Di, whom he had met at the Yunyin Pavilion earlier, Gu Li's motive for secretly inviting Xiao Yan over this time around was something that Xiao Yan had an idea in his heart.
If he was right, Gu Li's actions should be to allow Xiao Yan to participate in this Alchemist Grand Meeting. Moreover, he wanted Xiao Yan to do his best to obtain the champion spot in the Grand Meeting!
Xiao Yan's eyes slowly narrowed when he thought of this. A flame light also flashed across Xiao Yan's eyes, causing the space in front of Xiao Yan to distort for a moment before it suddenly shattered in front of Gu Li's and Chi Lin's eyes.
"This …"
The two of them exchanged glances with each other. Their hearts were incomparably shocked. It was not easy for them to get Xiao Yan to sit down again. Why did he suddenly become angry for no reason at this moment?
Just as they were about to speak, Xiao Yan was jolted back to his senses by the explosion. Immediately, he looked at Gu Li with a smile on his face and opened his mouth to speak:
"If I have guessed correctly, President Gu Li has invited me over today to help your Alchemist Association obtain the champion spot in this Alchemist Grand Meeting!"
Although these words sounded like a question to Gu Li, anyone could hear the certainty in Xiao Yan's words.
When Gu Li and Chi Lin heard Xiao Yan's sudden words, their eyebrows also twitched. In their hearts, they were incomparably shocked by Xiao Yan's words. They did not expect that Xiao Yan had actually guessed what they were thinking in their hearts!
However, these words were, after all, the truth in his heart. Therefore, although he was extremely shocked in his heart, Gu Li still nodded his head heavily. Seeing this, Xiao Yan once again smiled and said:
"If President Gu Li's wish today is only like this, then I will not stay any longer. I have just stepped into the rank two alchemist. My heart is also incomparably fiery with regards to this Alchemist Grand Meeting. If I have the ability, I will naturally not let it go!"
After his voice sounded, Xiao Yan had already stood up and walked out of the door. Gu Li and Chi Lin behind him also slowly stood up. This time, the two of them did not block Xiao Yan's path.
Since the other party had already made it clear first, there was naturally no need for him to say anything more. However, just as Xiao Yan was about to step out of the room, Gu Li seemed to have thought of something and shouted towards Xiao Yan:
"Brother Yan Xiao, I hope that you don't tell Wei Yi about today's matter. That fellow is naturally suspicious and will definitely do something out of line. At that time, we can avoid causing another big battle!"
The corners of Xiao Yan's mouth curled into a smile when he heard this. His body paused slightly as he smiled and said:
"Relax, I won't say it. If I'm not wrong, the current Wei Yi should already be thinking too much in his heart."
After his voice sounded, Xiao Yan's figure also disappeared from the sight of Gu Li and Chi Lin.
When Gu Li and Chi Lin heard Xiao Yan's words, their expressions instantly froze. They stood in the same spot for a long time and did not recover from their shock …
