Even if she no longer did anything like that in this lifetime, Xiao Yan would still never feel drawn to her. So it was better to handle it decisively and early.
He planned that after returning from the Beast Mountain Range, he would personally visit the Nalan family and annul the engagement politely, without the arrogance or cruelty that might embarrass them.
After all, if he didn't deal with it, what would happen with Yun Yun later? Thinking of her, and glancing at Little Doctor Fairy, he mentally slapped himself.
"Xiao Yan… when did you get so fickle?"
He realized just how many romantic entanglements he had accumulated in his past life.
And that was only the deeper ones...there were countless more fleeting attachments.
So many talented women on the Dou Qi Continent had encountered him just once and remained unmarried all their lives.
Once the topic was sidestepped, Xiao Yan followed Little Doctor Fairy to the core hall of Ten Thousand Medicines Hall.
There, he recognized a vaguely familiar figure: a plain-looking middle-aged man.
But in Qingshan Town, his status was wealthy....he was Boss Yao of Ten Thousand Medicines Hall.
Beside him stood a young man with a slapped face.....
the same Qin Cao who had been smacked by Xiao Yan earlier.
The moment Boss Yao saw Xiao Yan, he immediately put on a flattering smile and approached him.
"Little brother, you must be the genius from Utan City… Xiao Yan?"
Glancing at Qin Cao behind him, Xiao Yan realized that after revealing his name, the mercenaries outside would have guessed his identity.
After all, a young alchemist of his age was virtually impossible. In the whole Empire, he might be the only one.
"Yes, my name is indeed Xiao Yan," he said, nodding. Neither confirming nor denying, but enough to deepen Boss Yao's enthusiastic smile.
"Heh heh, Xiao Yan coming to stay at Ten Thousand Medicines Hall is truly an honor.
Little Doctor Fairy, please show Xiao Yan to a proper guest room and make sure he's well accommodated."
Boss Yao's gaze lingered on Little Doctor Fairy with a hint of curiosity.
"Yes, Boss Yao," she replied lightly, with a tone that wasn't overly deferential.
Though she also worked for the hall, her status was different from Qin Cao's.
Firstly, her medical skills were top-notch in all of Qingshan Town.
Secondly, her graceful aura and gentle manner had won her the admiration of the town's mercenaries.
Her position in Ten Thousand Medicines Hall was far from lowly.
After she led Xiao Yan away, Boss Yao looked at Qin Cao with satisfaction.
Luckily, this boy had sent word beforehand. Otherwise, offending Xiao Yan could have brought disaster upon him.
Even if this Xiao Yan wasn't the one from Utan City, a prodigy of his age and skill was already extraordinary.
But if he really was that Xiao Yan… Boss Yao's heart raced.
"Seems like the boy is interested in Little Doctor Fairy. If I can bring them together, that would be a golden opportunity."
Although Boss Yao had some interest in Little Doctor Fairy, this chance far outweighed any personal desire. He wasn't a fool to let lust cloud his judgment.
"Thought you were always dull in your work… didn't expect you to be smart this time."
He glanced at Qin Cao and threw him a pouch of coins.
"Five hundred gold coins as a reward!"
"Thank you, Boss! Thank you, Boss!" Qin Cao's face lit up with joy.
Meanwhile, at the Wolf Head Mercenary Group, Mu Li was being supported by two mercenaries, looking miserable, clinging to a grim-faced middle-aged man.
"Father! You have to avenge me! That Xiao Yan brat is utterly arrogant.....he even hit me!"
"He hit you because you started it.
Haven't you heard from the other mercenaries that this boy might be the legendary prodigy Xiao Yan from the Empire? Luckily, his attention was on Little Doctor Fairy; if you had offended him, he wouldn't hesitate to kill you."
Hearing Mu Li still wanted revenge, the mercenary captain, Mu She, twitched his lips in exasperation.
Unlike the previous life, Xiao Yan's reputation had already reached Qingshan Town.
It was said that his sect had casually sent a Fourth-Rank Alchemist to support his family.....what kind of overwhelming power was that for a small mercenary group?
"Little Doctor Fairy?"
Mu Li became even more desperate.
"Father, no! Little Doctor Fairy must be mine!"
Hearing this, Mu She's eyelids twitched in anger, and he slapped Mu Li across the face.
"You foolish brat! Thinking about women at a time like this?"
