Chapter 209: Xiao Yan: Brother Bai! Odd Things Change, but Even Things Don't!
"Mr. Bai, can I stay? I promise I won't disturb your treatment!"
In one of the Mitel family's guest rooms, Nalan Yanran looked at the black-robed young man who had asked them to leave, her eyes pleading.
"Go ahead, wait outside!" Xiao Bai pointed outside, his expression calm and unwavering.
Seeing this, Nalan Su, standing nearby, knew he couldn't stay. He sighed softly, waved his hand, and said in a deep voice, "Let's go! Yanran, listen to Mr. Bai!"
Nalan Yanran followed him out. As she was about to leave, she glanced back at the elderly figure lying on the bed, her eyes slightly filled with worry.
When she looked back, she saw the masked man standing motionless to the side and asked in surprise, "Mr. Bai, doesn't he have to leave?"
Before Xiao Bai could say anything, Xiao Yan straightened his chest, the alchemist badge on his chest gleaming in the light filtering through the window.
"..." Nalan Yanran.
Looking at the proudly-armed fighting chicken beside him, Xiao Bai smiled slightly, shook his head, and said with a smile, "He's my assistant!"
"Then I'll leave it to you, sir!"
Nalan Yanran clasped her fists in a salute. After standing up, she glared at the masked youth with a barely perceptible glare, then turned and left, closing the door behind her.
"Hey, little brat, you still want the same treatment as me? Dream on!"
After watching Brother Bai wave his hand to set up the soul barrier, Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows, his lips curved into a mocking arc.
"Alright! Honorable second-grade alchemist, get started!"
Xiao Bai walked over to a chair and sat down, glancing at the proud young man with a teasing smile.
"Brother Bai, do you really want me to do it?"
Xiao Yan's proud face immediately fell. Feeling a little nervous, he swallowed and said, "It's extremely dangerous to have strange fire enter your body. This is no joke. If I accidentally..."
"No ifs!" Xiao Bai waved his hand to interrupt him, saying bluntly, "If you kill someone, put away your alchemist badge from now on. It's embarrassing!"
".!" Xiao Yan.
Silence fell for a moment.
Just when Xiao Bai thought this kid was struggling internally and was thinking of a few words of encouragement, a cautious voice suddenly sounded in his ears: "Brother Bai, you're not jealous of me because you don't have a badge, are you?"
Xiao Bai's face instantly turned black, and his fists stiffened!
Damn, he shouldn't have thought this kid was good, and he was still struggling internally. What a struggle!
"A gentleman uses words, not fists!" Seeing the darkening face, Xiao Yan shuddered, shouted, and hurriedly waved his hands.
"Haha, Brother Bai, we were just kidding. I was just a little nervous! I'm feeling much better now. I'll start now!"
With that, he sprang like a giant black rat and sat down beside the bed.
The smile on his face gradually faded, becoming serious, but a glimpse of a handsome face with a darkened complexion flashed a smile in his eyes.
"..." Yao Lao.
Question: My disciple likes to teeter on the edge of death. What should I do? It's urgent!
"Brother Bai, there's no need to think about multiple rounds. Even if I drain you dry, I can't cure him in one go!"
After examining Nalan Jie, Xiao Yan shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"It doesn't matter. Just save his life and show them the results! The rest can be dealt with after our trip to the Yunlan Sect!"
Xiao Bai said casually, sitting in a chair.
"Forget it! Better deal with it before then. I don't want to be associated with his family after the three-year deadline!" Xiao Yan shook his head, a cluster of cyan flames curling around his fingertips.
With that, he glanced with a complicated expression at the old man on the bed, who was said to have been a close friend of his grandfather.
After a moment, his expression hardened, and he lightly tapped his fingers.
"Puff!"
Under Xiao Yan's control, cyan flames penetrated the old man's body.
The old man, who had been unconscious on the bed, suddenly trembled violently.
Xiao Yan ignored this, his eyes empty, carefully controlling the strange fire as it flowed through the old man's withered body.
"Ah!"
At some point, the old man's tightly closed eyes suddenly opened, and he let out a hoarse roar.
A fierce aura suddenly erupted from his body.
Xiao Yan bore the brunt of the impact, the flames in his hands becoming chaotic and nearly losing control. This only made the old man on the bed even more uncomfortable, and his roars became even more intense.
"Calm down, I'm doing this for you!"
Xiao Yan's voice faltered, and the roaring ceased abruptly. Instantly, the room fell silent, a pin drop audible.
"You talk too much!"
Xiao Yan rolled his eyes speechlessly at the faint voice, looking up at the shadow cast over his head.
This guy was gentle with his own people, but with strangers, he was always rude and brutal!
Xiao Bai glanced at Xiao Yan, calmly withdrew his finger from the old man's brow, and slowly walked back.
"What are you standing there for? Hurry up, those two outside are getting pissed!"
"...!" Xiao Yan.
Why are you rushing? If you can do it, go ahead! Besides, those two people's anxiety is none of his business!
Retracting his angry gaze from the black-robed figure, glancing at the sweating Nalan Jie, Xiao Yan shook his head with pity and continued to expel the poison.
The room suddenly fell silent, and time slowly slipped by. Half an hour later, Xiao Yan let out a long breath, his whole body relaxed. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and sighed, "Finally done!"
He then looked at Xiao Bai and whispered, "Brother Bai, there shouldn't be any problems with his normal movements. I'll leave the strange fire aura in this room to you!"
Xiao Bai nodded slightly, extending a hand. His slender, powerful fingers grasped the air, and the scorching heat that had filled the room dissipated in the blink of an eye.
Then, with a wave of his sleeves, the dry air began to moisten, filling with a refreshing aroma like after rain.
"Wood aura, water aura?"
Breathing in this breath, Xiao Yan felt a surge of comfort throughout his body. A sudden sense of enlightenment reached his heart, and he looked up at Xiao Bai in astonishment.
He looked him up and down for a moment, then hesitated and cautiously asked, "Brother Bai, do you know about cultivating immortality?"
He spoke with anticipation and a touch of excitement, his eyes fixed on Xiao Bai's face, as if trying to confirm something.
Xiao Bai's eyes were blank, and he tilted his head slightly, asking in confusion, "Cultivating immortality? What is cultivating immortality?"
Only a fleeting smile flickered at the corner of his eye.
Good boy, this kid is planning to call him a fellow countryman!
"No, nothing!"
Seeing his bewildered face, Xiao Yan's eyes flashed with deep disappointment, and he waved his hand dejectedly. He smiled bitterly inwardly, cursing himself for being so out of his mind.
His experience was already miraculous; how could another one happen to appear in the world, and in the Xiao family at that?
"You're tired! Go and rest! I'll take care of the rest!"
Xiao Bai shook his head secretly, walked over to the bed, patted his shoulder, and said gently.
"I'm a bit tired, sure. You're the one who's going to do the rest!" Xiao Yan stood up, looking at Xiao Bai, who was about to wake Nalan Jie. A flicker of resentment flashed in his eyes.
"Brother Bai! Odd things change, but even things don't!"
"..." Xiao Bai turned around, crossed his arms, and stroked his chin. He looked at the tense Xiao Yan with a look of idiocy, his brows furrowed slightly.
"What do you mean by change or not? How come you're so delirious after exorcising someone? Does this branding poison even affect your intelligence?"
He watched Xiao Bai's every move intently, but still didn't notice anything unusual. His eyes darkened, and he gave up completely.
He waved his hand and walked towards the chair, his steps a bit slow and dejected. "Nothing, probably just too tired!"
"Huh!"
Gazing at the black-robed figure from behind, Xiao Bai breathed a sigh of relief.
Damn, that was dangerous! I didn't expect this kid to abandon martial ethics and resort to a sneak attack!
That next sentence... he almost blurted out!
If I uttered a single word unconsciously, no matter how I denied it, this guy would definitely be in doubt for the rest of his life!
"Teacher, do you think there's really someone on this Dou Qi Continent who can master so many attributes and cultivate them to the level of Brother Bai?"
Xiao Yan muttered to himself as he sat in his chair, his gaze fixed on the black robe, memories of the past flooding back to his mind. If it weren't for that sudden revelation, he might have ignored it, but once the seed of doubt was planted, it took root.
While he had a father, brothers, and family in this world, how could he completely forget the memories of his past life? He didn't speak of the past because it was too bizarre, with no one to share it with, so he could only suppress it deep in his heart.
But now, he suddenly realized he might not be so alone after all, and the target of his suspicion was his closest brother. How could he not be thrilled!
If there truly was a second person to this world who had traveled through time, he hoped it was Brother Bai!
Only then would he feel safe and unburdened with the secrets buried deep within his heart.
"Xiao Yanzi, what's wrong with you today? Didn't you already know about that kid's situation? What are you suspecting?"
"This world is vast. Even a Dou Di master wouldn't be omniscient and know every secret!"
"The Dou Qi Continent has been passed down for countless years, and countless geniuses have emerged. Dou Di masters, as far as I know, are numbered on my hands. It's not surprising that Xiao Bai has his own opportunities!"
Meanwhile, Xiao Bai, sensing the gazes behind him, rolled his eyes, not bothering to pay attention.
Recognizing a fellow villager?
Someday, when he'd have the chance to be invincible in the vast world, that would be fine!
But now... who knew if there were eyes overhead, occasionally glancing over? It was impossible!
Thoughts raced through his mind, but they didn't affect his movements. A moment after Nalan Jie tapped his brow, his slightly cloudy eyes opened, a moment of confusion passing before his gaze gradually focused and a hoarse voice rang out.
"Young man, who are you?"
"The one who saved you!"
Seeing him awake, Xiao Bai stood up and said calmly, "Feel your whole body now. Doesn't it feel less uncomfortable than before?"
Hearing this, Nalan Jie closed his eyes, carefully felt them for a moment, then suddenly opened them and said in disbelief, "Has the brand poison erupting in my body decreased?"
"Don't be too happy. You're too deeply poisoned. You'll need several treatments to completely expel the toxin!"
"Can this brand poison really be completely expelled?" Nalan Jie's face was filled with surprise, not paying attention to the meaning of Xiao Bai's words, focusing on the last sentence.
"Not bad!"
"Haha. Good, good, good, little brother's medical skills are truly amazing. You can actually have such skills!"
Nalan Jie burst into laughter, looking at Xiao Bai excitedly, "Then I'll have to trouble you, little brother!"
Not far away, Xiao Yan rolled his eyes.
"Father!"
"Grandpa!"
Xiao Bai waved his hand, and the door flew open.
Two figures, who had been pacing anxiously in front of the door, paused, then turned, instantly seeing the old man awake on the bed, their faces filled with surprise.
"You silly girl, how dare you come back? If you hadn't been so willful as to go to the Xiao family, I wouldn't have been so angry that I stopped practicing and ended up like this today!" Nalan Jie glared at the newcomers, glaring at the incoming girl.
"Grandpa." Nalan Yanran blushed slightly at the sight of the two gazes from inside the room, stamping her foot and angrily saying, "Look carefully! This is the Mitel family, not the Nalan family!"
"Uh!" Nalan Jie took in the unfamiliar surroundings, momentarily confused.
Xiao Bai didn't want to get involved in their family affairs; he wasn't some young man over there clenching his fists. He looked at Nalan Su and said calmly, "You've seen him now. My promise is fulfilled. Now it's your turn!"
"Uh..."
Nalan Su hesitated, glancing at Nalan Jie on the bed.
"Promise? What promise?"
Nalan Jie tilted his head slightly, puzzled.
"Grandpa, it's like this," Nalan Yanran stepped forward and whispered the details.
"Did you bring the Seven Illusions Azure Spirit Saliva?"
Nalan Jie, having learned the whole story, looked at Nalan Su and asked gravely.
Nalan Su nodded, and with a flick of his hand, a jade flowerpot appeared in his hand. The room was instantly filled with a tranquil fragrance.
The leaves were like green jade, and the flowers bloomed in seven different colors. In the blink of an eye, the various colors shifted among the seven flowers, creating a gorgeous and dreamy scene.
"Little Brother Bai, I, Nalan Jie, always honor my promises. Since this is what you agreed to, this thing is now yours!"
Nalan Jie lay in bed, glancing at the plant in the flowerpot with a complicated expression.
It was because of picking this plant that I was poisoned, but I never thought it would keep me alive today.
Taking the flowerpot from Nalan Su, Xiao Bai's eyes flashed with joy. With this, his chances of success on this trip to the Yunlan Sect would be much greater.
"I still have things to do, please go ahead. If you want to recover soon, we can continue tomorrow!"
Reaching out and putting it into the storage ring, Xiao Bai smiled politely, ignoring the three Nalan family members who were hesitant to speak, and walked out of the room directly.
"Uh, this..."
Seeing Xiao Bai leave, Nalan Jie turned to look at Xiao Yan. He was about to speak, but he didn't expect this person to do the same. He nodded lightly, got up and walked away.
".!" The three Nalan family members.
If Nalan Jie hadn't clearly known that the toxins in his body had decreased, he would have almost thought he was scammed!
On the other side, Xiao Bai returned to the courtyard and just sat down when Xiao Yan rushed in.
"Brother Bai, where are the benefits you mentioned?"
Xiao Bai glanced at this guy whose eyes lit up when he talked about cultivation. After picking up the teapot on the table and pouring a cup, he slowly said: "You can use the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire in your body to practice, and you will know!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan, without a second thought, sat cross-legged, formed hand seals, and entered a state of cultivation.
Time passed, and Xiao Bai sipped his tea, watching Xiao Yan's face light up with joy. He knew that he had discovered the Dou Qi energy contained in the branding poison.
"Wow, worthy of the energy of a Dou Wang, so rich and mellow! Just a tiny bit, and it's so huge!"
Xiao Yan slowly opened his eyes, a gleam of light in his pupils, and his aura suddenly increased.
He stood up, walked to the table and sat down. Seeing Xiao Bai, his eyes suddenly lit up. Isn't this a Dou Wang!
And a peak Dou Wang!
"Battle Qi energy contains a person's spirit, energy, and spirit. Only through the practice of one's own skills and transformation can the foundation be the most solid. Don't always think of taking shortcuts!"
"This time, Nalan Jie's battle Qi energy is because you have the strange fire to refine and decompose it. It's okay for you to break through a small realm, but if you want to break through a big realm, see if your teacher will punish you!"
He glanced at Xiao Yan unhappily. As soon as he saw the look in this guy's eyes, Xiao Bai knew what he was thinking.
This is not a great way to absorb energy!
"Hehe." Xiao Yan's little thoughts were exposed, and he touched his nose awkwardly.
Suddenly, the palm of his hand that was touching his nose paused, his eyes fixed, and his face changed drastically.
