"Dan King Gu He? Is he that amazing?"
As soon as these words left her mouth, everyone present felt their scalps prickle.
Someone actually dared to say such a thing in the Jia Ma Empire! Were they looking for death?
It would be one thing if they were courting death themselves, but to say it in front of everyone… if they were implicated, the consequences would be unimaginable.
However, when they saw who had spoken, their expressions immediately softened.
The one who spoke wasn't just anyone; it was Qi Yan'er, Nalan Yanran's "daughter"!
Amidst the many gazes, Qi Yan'er blinked her big, innocent eyes, looking utterly adorable.
Coming from the cute little girl, the words became… innocent childish talk!
Nalan Yanran sighed, a little helpless, and explained to Qi Yan'er:
"Yan'er, your father is indeed very powerful, but you don't know that Uncle Gu He isn't bad either."
"He is not only a peak Dou King, but also a Fifth-Grade Alchemist, a genuine Alchemy King!"
"Just Fifth-Grade?"
Qi Yan'er tilted her head, her small face full of disdain:
"That's far from my father!"
Just... Fifth-Grade?
Far from her father?
Everyone present felt their heads buzzing when they heard this.
Out of the mouths of babes!
Really, out of the mouths of babes!
This little girl didn't understand the value of a Fifth-Grade Alchemist at all!
"Yan'er, is that really what you think?"
Ge Ye's expression turned serious as he stared at Qi Yan'er and asked in surprise.
"You don't believe me?"
Qi Yan'er rolled her big eyes.
"Then tell me, what's real?"
"Hahaha~"
Seeing Ge Ye's serious expression, the three elders immediately burst into laughter.
"Mr. Ge Ye, you certainly can't take a child's words seriously."
"How could Dan King be compared to ordinary mortals?"
"Shut up!"
Ge Ye's old face suddenly turned cold, and he rebuked them angrily.
The others might not understand Qi Yan'er, but didn't he?
Qi Yan'er could handle those mercenaries on her own, so she must have used some self-defense methods.
And where did those methods come from?
Undoubtedly, from the father she mentioned!
Perhaps the method she used to save Yanran was some special pills!
If that was the case, then I'm afraid Yan'er's father was also a remarkable Alchemist!
"Uh..."
The three elders, scolded by Ge Ye, were stunned.
As the deacons of the Misty Cloud Sect, he actually believed what this child said was true?
What a joke!
The Great Elder's old face showed a smile that was more difficult to look at than crying, and he appeased:
"Mr. Ge Ye, as far as I know, in the Jia Ma Empire, besides the Alchemy King, the only Fifth-Grade Alchemist is the president of the Alchemist Association."
"How could this little girl's father be a Fifth-Grade Alchemist?"
"Hey! You old geezer, when did I ever say my daddy was a Fifth-Grade Alchemist?"
Qi Yan'er's small face puffed up in anger, her little hand pointing furiously at the Elder.
Old geezer?
Hearing this title, the Elder's beard almost flew off from anger.
"Hahaha~ cough~"
This time, Xiao Zhan couldn't help but laugh.
Satisfying! So satisfying!
The Elder couldn't save face, staring at Qi Yan'er and loudly questioning:
"Little girl, then tell me, what grade is your daddy as an Alchemist?"
"I don't know!"
Qi Yan'er blinked her big, watery eyes, her small face full of innocence.
"Hmph~"
The Second Elder snorted coldly. "Don't think you can get away with talking nonsense just because you're young. Just because your parents don't discipline you doesn't mean outsiders won't!"
As he spoke, the Second Elder glanced at Nalan Yanran.
Nalan Yanran: (⊙o⊙)…
Why is this old geezer looking at me? I'm not her mother! Wait, I'm not even her sister! "Presumptuous!"
Ge Ye was furious, glaring at the three elders of the Xiao family.
"You three old fellows, all together you're several hundred years old, how can you speak to a child like that?"
"..."
Even with their good temper, the three elders couldn't help but look displeased after being reprimanded by Ge Ye again.
The Third Elder slowly stood up and looked at Ge Ye, saying: "Mr. Ge Ye, it's not that we are being disrespectful, but she keeps saying her father is a stronger alchemist than the Alchemy King. Without proof, who can believe it?"
The First Elder also spoke up: "That's right! If you want us to believe it, if you want everyone present to be convinced, she has to prove it!"
After the words, Ge Ye nodded. Then he turned his gaze to Qi Yan'er, his old face full of a warm smile:
"Yan'er~ Look at this..."
Qi Yan'er supported her chin with her small hand, her big eyes staring at Ge Ye as she smiled sweetly: "Actually, you want to see the proof too, right?"
"Er…"
Qi Yan'er's words immediately caused Ge Ye's old face to stiffen, embarrassment evident.
My thoughts… she, this little girl, saw right through them?
Freak!
Just who is her father? How could he have raised such a little monster!
Ge Ye already knew that Qi Yan'er's father was no ordinary person, and he wanted to unearth some information.
However, earlier on the flying magical beast…
No matter how Nalan Yanran questioned, she couldn't get any useful information.
That's why he thought he could use the Xiao family to probe for some details.
After all, the Misty Cloud Sect needed to know about such a hidden figure within the Jia Ma Empire.
"That…"
Ge Ye started to say something, but Qi Yan'er waved her small hand to interrupt him. "Since you all want to know how amazing my daddy is, I'll give you a little taste!"
With that, Qi Yan'er placed the small wooden box she was carrying on her lap…
Luo Fan Village.
"Eh? Xiao Fan, why did you come alone? Where's your precious daughter?"
The uncle from the village tavern waved and asked curiously when he saw Qi Fan approaching.
Qi Fan wore a smile.
"She said she was going out to play for a few days, so I let her go."
"What?"
The tavern owner was startled, his expression immediately changing. "Xiao Fan, I have to say, how old is Yan'er? How can you let her go out alone?"
"Uncle Han, just relax!"
Qi Fan said casually, "With the Treasure Chest I gave her, Yan'er will be fine. Hurry up and give me three jin of Lao Bai Gan!"
"Heh heh heh~"
Uncle Han's mouth twitched. He immediately shouted, "I'm not selling!"
"Uncle Han, you..."
Qi Fan was about to say something when the familiar prompt sounded in his mind again.
[Ding! Your daughter, Qi Yan'er, urgently needs a pill that is more advanced than a Fifth-Grade Pill. The exchange price for a Sixth-Grade Pill is 50,000 points. Would you like to exchange?]
"..."
"Exchange!"
The words "urgently needs" left Qi Fan no room for hesitation.
It was still the same sentence: his daughter needed it, he had to give it!
But...
What does she need a Sixth-Grade Pill for?
It's only been a short time.
In just two days, she's spent over sixty thousand points!
Looking at the remaining ninety thousand points, Qi Fan realized he couldn't slack off anymore. If he did, he wouldn't be able to give his daughter what she wanted!
"Forget it, I won't sell it then!"
Thinking of this, Qi Fan waved his sleeve, his gaze already fixed on the back mountain!
Xiao Clan Hall.
Under everyone's gaze, Qi Yan'er casually took a small porcelain bottle from her small box.
Then, a pill the size of a longan rolled onto her pink, delicate palm.
Qi Yan'er's small face was full of pride: "This is the pill my daddy casually scooped out of the pot with a shovel!"
Everyone's eyes were filled with amusement, focusing on the pill...
But when they saw it, every single person's mouth dropped open in shock!
Ge Ye felt his scalp tingle, a surge of energy rushing straight to the top of his head.
"This, this, this pill's patterns, this actually is..."
"A Sixth-Grade Pill!!"
"What? A Sixth-Grade Pill?"
"This, this little girl actually just casually took out a Sixth-Grade Pill!!!"
