"Miss, are you okay?"
The moment he saw the girl, Xiao Yan's expression, which was originally cursing, turned faster than the speed of turning a page of a book and instantly became warm. The girl was sitting on the ground and gently rubbing her head. There was a faint flash of tears in her pair of watery peach blossom eyes. Her pale and beautiful face looked at Xiao Yan's rapidly changing face with grievance and a hint of fear.
"Such a weak little sister, it looks like she's about to cry just after bumping into me." Xiao Yan's eyes had already scanned the girl invisibly. She looks very beautiful, and this kind of soft and weak feeling can arouse a man's desire to protect her.
"Hmm, she would probably be an eight out of ten. Thin waist, long legs, fair and delicate skin. Although a little small, she can be cultivated. Not bad, she fits the standard of a slender beauty, worth a shot."
Having made up his mind, Xiao Yan reached out to pull the girl up.
"No!"
Seeing Xiao Yan reaching out to grab her, the girl exclaimed.
"I just want to pull you up, why are you being like this? Like how I can pick you up without touching you?" Xiao Yan pretended not to hear and grabbed at the girl's wrist. This wrist was slender and white, like white jade.
Before the girl could retract her hand, Xiao Yan had already grabbed her wrist.
"If you don't dare to be a hooligan, how can you pick up girls?" According to Xiao Yan's experience in his previous life, picking up girls requires taking the initiative, you must be steady, accurate, and ruthless.
However, when he held the girl's wrist, his face suddenly became horrified. Because he found that the soul power hovering at the center of his eyebrows actually had a sign of gushing out and then pouring into the girl's body. Biting the tip of his tongue fiercely with his teeth, Xiao Yan loosened his palm like an electric shock.
"Plop!" The girl who was originally being pulled up fell back down onto the ground, her bright peach blossom eyes once more became full of tears.
"Are you okay?" The girl supported herself from the ground with grievance and looked at Xiao Yan timidly and asked.
"I'm okay." Xiao Yan smiled gently again, looked at the girl, and said, "But you, are you hurt?"
To deal with such a unique girl, he must be cautious and gain her trust before trying anything.
The girl nodded, shook her head, and looked at Xiao Yan at a loss.
"Are you from the Dan clan?" Seeing that the girl was not speaking and seemed to be an introvert, Xiao Yan took the initiative to attack. He had already seen the badge on her chest. Yao Lao had introduced him to those from the Pill Tower and he remembered that this badge was of the Dan clan.
"Yeah!"
"What's your name?"
"Dan, Dan Chen." The girl seemed to be a little anxious, and asked timidly, "I, can I leave?"
But unfortunately for her, although she may be an introvert, Xiao Yan was an extrovert.
"Who said you can leave!" Xiao Yan suddenly frowned and stared at her.
"Ah?" Dan Chen's pale and weak face was confused for a moment, and then stared at Xiao Yan with some grievance.
"Tsk tsk, if a young boy who knows nothing about the world was stared at by such an aggrieved beauty, he would probably be willing to go through fire and water for her. Unfortunately, he met a big bad wolf like me. Hehehe!"
"Where are you going? I'll take you there."
"No, no need." The girl looked at Xiao Yan with some fear. This man changed his face like turning a book. Although he was very handsome, the vague ruffian spirit on him always made her feel very dangerous.
In fact, her feeling was correct. Unfortunately, the moment she met Xiao Yan, she was already in danger.
"Huh?" Xiao Yan frowned slightly.
Seeing Xiao Yan frowning, the girl became a little panicked again, and gently moved her white legs to try to escape. Unexpectedly, when she moved, Xiao Yan also moved.
"You, can you please not follow me!" Dan Chen was about to cry.
"You seem to have a weak character, I'm afraid you will be bullied if I let you go on your own." Xiao Yan smiled.
Dan Chen didn't dare to reply to the boy. Although he always had a gentle smile on his face, she found him scary. She wanted to go to the Dan clan's mansion as soon as possible.
Thinking of that, Dan Chen couldn't help but speed up her pace.
"Hey, why are you running?" Xiao Yan's voice came from behind her, making her body stiffen.
"Why are you so far away from me? Are you afraid that I will eat you?"
The short distance to her family's place felt incredibly long for the first time for Dan Chen. Fortunately, although the boy was a bit of a rogue, he didn't do anything unreasonable.
The Dan clan's mansion was not far from the Pill Tower headquarters. When Dan Chen saw her home, she felt like she was finally going to be safe.
"Haha, Miss Dan Chen is back." A Dou King smiled and greeted Dan Chen at the door.
At this moment, Dan Chen felt that she was about to be liberated, but the next moment, she heard the conversation between the Dou King and Xiao Yan.
"Young man, this is our Dan Clan's resting area. Outsiders are not allowed to enter."
"I am not an outsider. I am the disciple of Medicine Venerable Yao Chen. Go and inform your elders. I am here to visit you on behalf of my master."
"Medicine Venerable's disciple?" The Dou King was stunned at first, then looked at Xiao Yan suspiciously and said, "Do you have any proof?"
"This is my identity token as the young master of the Falling Star Pavilion. You can take it out and show it to your elders." Xiao Yan casually threw a token to him.
As early as the first day Xiao Yan moved into Falling Star Pavilion, he forced Yao Lao to give him the position of the young master of the Falling Star Pavilion, otherwise, he would kill that damn Han Feng and take away his Oean Heart Flame.
"Medicine Venerable's disciple?" Dan Chen looked at the young man in bright clothes and was shocked, she then felt bitter again. Why did this young man follow her endlessly? She didn't expect that she couldn't get rid of him despite coming home.
A moment later, the Dou King came out with the token.
"Young Master, please come in. The elders are waiting for you in the hall." He needs to be respectful to this young master of the Falling Star Pavilion. Among the four pavilions in the Central Plains, Falling Star Pavilion is the only one that can make the Dan clan, the leader of the Pill Region's clans apprehensive.
The reason is simple, because there is a Medicine Venerable in the Falling Star Pavilion.
"Let's go, what are you still looking at?" Xiao Yan walked into the door and glanced at Dan Chen, whose face was bitter.
...
The Dan clan is the leader of the five major families in the Pill Region. There are not only dozens of Rank Seven alchemists in the family, there is also three Rank Eight alchemists.
In the Dan clan's waiting room, Dan Yangzi, the ancestor of the Dan Clan, was drinking a cup of wolfberry and ginseng tea. On his left was the ancestor of the Cao Clan.
"Your Cao clan has produced an amazing genius!" Dan Yangzi smiled and looked at a girl in red who was sitting below the ancestor of the Cao clan.
The girl was only fourteen or fifteen years old, and her charming little face that had not yet lost its childishness was already amazingly beautiful.
Her delicate body was wrapped in a red dress, like a rose bud waiting to bloom.
At a young age, she already had the potential to bring disaster to a nation and its people.
(T/N: Means she is beautiful enough that the ruler would prioritise her and what she wants over the nation and its well being, hence why beauties are a disaster to the nation and people)
It was the Cao clan's demoness, Cao Ying!
"Haha, your Dan Chen is not simple either. She has a natural Ancient Spirit Body. She can become an Eighth Rank alchemist with her eyes closed."
The ancestor of the Cao clan laughed and changed the subject: "I am a little curious about the new disciple of Yao Chen though."
"Speaking of which, I am also a little curious. Yao Chen's vision has always been amazing, he is not inferior to Xuan Yi. Since that young man was appointed as the young master of the Falling Star Pavilion, could this young man's qualifications be stronger than your Cao Ying?"
Dan Yangzi smiled slightly. As soon as he finished speaking, he saw his little princess walking in with a white-robed boy.
