"Four-star Dou Zhe!"
Ge Ye's words caused Nalan Yanran, a three-star Dou Zhe beside him, to feel dejected.
She had originally thought of herself as the number one genius of the Jia Ma Empire, a daughter of the heavens! But now...
In terms of talent, she couldn't compare to Qi Yan'er at all, and she wasn't even a match for Xiao Xun'er's strength anymore!
"Miss Xun'er, what's going on with you?"
Ge Ye asked, his old face showing surprise.
Hearing this, Xiao Xun'er calmly replied: "I've been suppressing my Dou Qi and hadn't broken through. Coupled with Yan'er's medicinal liquid, that's what allowed me to break through to four-star Dou Zhe."
"Suppressing Dou Qi?"
Hearing this, everyone was shocked.
This was the first time they'd ever heard of such a thing!
Then they thought of Xiao Xun'er, a mysterious young woman. Suppressing one's strength was indeed the best choice in the Xiao Clan's environment. Otherwise, in Wutan City, no! They should say, in the Jia Ma Empire, she would have been too conspicuous!
At this moment, Qi Yan'er glanced at the two girls with satisfaction and giggled, "Hehe~ It seems like my father's medicinal liquid is really quite effective!"
"It's more than just effective!"
In the sky, Yao Chen couldn't help but complain inwardly:
"Even the Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid I personally refined doesn't have this effect!"
"Her father, could he be a more powerful alchemist than me? Grade 8? Or even... Grade 9?"
Upon thinking of this, Yao Chen's body grew weaker.
No way!
This disciple, I have to take them in.
But how do I even manage that?
Just as Yao Chen was racking his brain, he suddenly sensed a strange aura!
"Hmm?"
Yao Chen quickly retracted his perception.
He was very familiar with this strange aura.
It was the same aura he'd sensed when he first woke up, belonging to a Dou Huang!
"Just what is Xiao Xun'er's background? To have a Dou Huang secretly acting as a bodyguard..."
"And this Douhuang aura… why does it feel a little like those guys from the Hall of Souls?"
Ling Ying: (⊙o⊙)…
You're the Hall of Souls, your whole family is the Hall of Souls!
Beneath a towering tree, a jet-black figure overlapped with its shadow.
If Yao Chen hadn't been a Dou Zun in the past, he wouldn't have detected this person's presence.
Upon seeing Xiao Xun'er, Ling Ying couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief:
"Aiya, my young miss, you really had me searching everywhere!"
Recalling how he'd gone to investigate Qi Yan'er's background and returned to Wutan City, only to find he couldn't sense Xiao Xun'er, Ling Ying's old face immediately turned bitter.
She really doesn't care about this old man's life or death!
This old man went to all the trouble of investigating the news, and she...
She ran off with someone else!
If he weren't the number one Dou Huang of the Gu Clan, it would have been truly difficult to find this young miss.
"Strange!"
Ling Ying frowned slightly, muttering inwardly,
"With the young miss's temperament and personality, there's no way she would easily leave Wutan City. How could she have followed this little girl to the Monster Beast Mountain Range?"
"No!"
"I can't let them continue deeper into the mountain range. If they get caught up in that conflict between those two, it'll be a disaster."
As a six-star Dou Huang, Ling Ying naturally sensed the fierce battle deep within the Monster Beast Mountain Range.
Thinking of this, Ling Ying immediately used a secret technique to transmit his voice to Xiao Xun'er: "Young Miss~"
"Uncle Ling Ying, you're back?"
Hearing the familiar, aged voice, Xiao Xun'er was overjoyed.
Back?
Hearing this choice of words, the corners of Ling Ying's mouth couldn't help but twitch.
Am I back? I'm here to find you!
"Yes!"
Ling Ying didn't argue and simply responded.
"Have you inquired about Yan'er's whereabouts?"
Hearing Xiao Xun'er's question, Ling Ying's expression turned serious.
"I did indeed find some information about her, but..."
"But what?"
"But what I found seems to be just the surface. This Qi Yan'er is from a small village nearby. The village is called Luo Fan Village, and her father is just an ordinary person!"
"Ordinary person?"
Ling Ying's report caused Xiao Xun'er's eyes to narrow. "That's right, an ordinary person!"
If her strength could be easily discovered, then Qi Yan'er's father wouldn't have been able to hide for so long without being found out.
It seems that what Qi Yan'er said was more or less correct! Her father...
Thinking about this, Xiao Xun'er suddenly asked cautiously:
"Uncle Ling Ying, have you been to Luo Fan Village?"
"No."
Ling Ying was puzzled by Xiao Xun'er's tone:
"I was worried about your safety, so I only took a look from afar and didn't go in."
"That's good, that's good."
Xiao Xun'er breathed a sigh of relief.
"Er…"
This tone of voice surprised Ling Ying even more.
You're the young miss of the Gu Clan, and your father is a Dou Sheng!
As for the father of this little girl, why be so cautious?
"Young miss, could her father be someone extraordinary?"
"More than extraordinary!"
Xiao Xun'er said solemnly:
"Her father might be an alchemist stronger than an eighth-rank one, and his strength probably isn't much less than my father's."
"This... how is that possible?"
Hearing this, Ling Ying was so shocked he almost jumped out of the shade of the tree.
In the small Jia Ma Empire, how could such a powerful individual be hidden?
"Uncle Ling Ying, I'll tell you about the other things when we get back. You just need to know that we can only befriend this father and daughter, we can't make enemies of them."
"Understood."
Ling Ying nodded, and then his figure completely disappeared.
"Sister Xun'er, who are you talking to?"
Xiao Xun'er, who had just finished talking with Ling Ying, was startled when she heard the tender voice.
In sight.
It was Qi Yan'er, who was extremely cute, staring at her with a pair of watery eyes.
"Nothing~"
Xiao Xun'er quickly denied it.
"I was just wondering which direction Mu She would run!"
"Sister Xun'er, do you think I'm stupid?"
Qi Yan'er pouted, pointing at herself with a small finger.
"Of course not."
Xiao Xun'er gave an awkward smile.
"Then how could you deceive me?"
Qi Yan'er pouted, looking very unhappy: "With Sister's intelligence, how could you not have guessed that Mu She was taking Mo Li, trying to cross the Monster Beast Mountain Range to return to the Mo Clan?"
"This…"
Xiao Xun'er, having been seen through, didn't know what to say.
She never would have imagined that her voice transmission with Ling Ying could be detected!
How did she even do it?
"How else could she have done it? Of course, it's because her soul power is strong enough!"
Above, Yao Chen sighed.
This little girl's soul, to say nothing of being better than ordinary people, was more than ten times stronger than even Xiao Yan's!
"Yan'er, actually…"
"Sister Xun'er, I know you have something you can't say, I was just joking!"
Shaking her little hand, Qi Yan'er adorably swayed her head.
"Thank you for understanding, Sister Yan'er."
With kindness in her eyes, Xiao Xun'er expressed her gratitude.
"Hehe~"
Qi Yan'er giggled, then pointed her small hand toward the depths of the Monster Beast Mountain Range: "Since they're going to risk crossing the Monster Beast Mountain Range, so can we! Let's go!"
"Wait!"
Seeing that Qi Yan'er was actually going to cross the Monster Beast Mountain Range, Ge Ye hastily spoke to stop her:
"Yan'er, the Monster Beast Mountain Range is extremely dangerous. If we rashly enter, we're bound to encounter danger. At that point, this old man alone won't be able to protect you."
"Who said I wanted you to protect me?"
Qi Yan'er's small face was full of disdain. "Just put your mind at ease! If we really get into danger, someone will come out to protect us!"
Clunk~
As soon as she said this, Ling Ying, hidden in the shadows, and Yao Chen's hearts both trembled.
She's a complete little monster! Only this big, and she's already calculating against this old geezer?
