Chapter 369: Alchemist ference! Promi Figures Gather!
"Yes, teacher, Xiao Yan will definitely strive to win the championship!"
Upon hearing Yao Lao's words, Xiao Yan nodded firmly before walking forward with the others.
"Marshal Nan, you're here!"
At this moment, in the VIP se, a few people sitting in the frreeted Nan Jie as he appeared.
"gratutions, Marshal Nan! I heard that the u at the eastern border has been pletely resolved under your leadership, and the Snake-People's army has retreated deep into the desert! You deserve much credit for this!" Mu , the head of the Mu family, stood up and gratuted Nan Jie.
"Hehe, Marshal Mu, I 't take all the credit for that! The retreat of the Snake-People army was ehanks to Sect Master Yun Yun and a reclusive expert from Sto City!" Nan Jie waved his hand, humbly expining in respoo Mu 's words.
"Oh, a reclusive expert from Sto City!"
Mu wasn’t surprised about Yun Yun, but he was astoo hear Nan Jie mention the hidden expert.
"Marshal Mu, let’s sit down and discuss this slowly."
Seeing the fusion on Mu 's fad that of several other family heads, Nan Jie gently waved his sleeve and took a seat.
"Shortly after Feng Li, Yan Shi, and I arrived at the fortress, we were fronted by four Snake-People leaders with Dou King-level strength. At that moment, a very powerful young man appeared—he called himself Yan Xiao. In the end, Sect Master Yun Yun said something to the Snake-People’s matriarch, and they quickly withdrew their troops…"
As Na in the VIP seat, he reted the previous events with great i.
"It's him! He actually came here!"
While talking, Nan Jie suddenly spotted a familiar figure.
"Marshal Nan, what have you noticed?"
Upon hearing Nan Jie’s excmation, Mu and several of the surrounding family heads quickly followed his gaze, but they didn’t see anything unusual.
Nan Jie poio an ordinary young man standing among the partits and said, "That young mahere, that's Yan Xiao—the person I was just talking about!"
Everyone looked in the dire Nan Jie ointing and saw Xiao Yan. They all ented, "He looks quite ordinary!"
"Ordinary? Not at all!"
As these people were discussing, an elderly voice rang out.
Everyourheir heads to see an old man wearing a purple alchemist's robe walking toward the VIP se, apanied by several other elders.
"President Fa Ma, you've arrived!"
Seeing the old man, both Nan Jie and Mu greeted him with great respect. This elderly figure was her than the president of the Alchemist Guild in the Jia Ma Empire.
"Hehe, I didn’t expect to see you younger geion folks here at this Alchemist ference!" After greeting the group, Fa Ma gnced meaningfully at Xiao Yan on the field, smiling as he said, "That young man seems quite promising! Why would any of you think he’s ordinary?"
"Haha, President Fa Ma, your keen eye never fails! That young man possesses the strength of a Dou King and has already reached the level of a third-tier alchemist!" Nan Jie ughed.
"Oh, reag the level of a third-tier alchemist at such a young age, that's quite impressive!" Fa Ma nodded slightly, theured to the person behind him.
An elder standing behind him immediately turned and walked toward the field.
While these individuals were talking, Xiao Yan had also sensed a few pairs of eyes watg him, thanks to Yao Lao's reminder. However, he acted as though he hadn't noticed, maintaining a calm and posed demeanor.
Before long, the alchemist sent by Fa Ma arrived beside Xiao Yan and politely said, "Young brother, our president and several major family heads from the imperial capital would like to meet you. Would you do us the honor?"
"The president wants to meet me? Is it the president of the Alchemist Guild?"
Xiao Yan asked in fusion upon hearing this.
"Yes, and your friend, Old Master Nan, would like to see you too!" The alchemist nodded.
"Alright then!"
After a moment of hesitation, Xiao Yan agreed and followed the alchemist toward the VIP se.
"Haha, Yan Xiao, my young friend, we meet again! You must be here to cim the championship of this Alchemist ference, right?"
Seeing Xiao Yan approaan Jie greeted him with great enthusiasm.
This se left many of those unaware of the situation feeling quite puzzled.
Someone of Nan Jie's status was treating a young man like a brother and even ht saying he was here for the championship.
Notig the many eyes on him, Xiao Yan could only maintain a modest demeanor and said, "Marshal Nan, this ference is full of hidden talents, how could Yan Xiao dare to cim the first pce?"
"Brother Yan Xiao, you're too modest!"
"This is President Fa Ma of the Alchemist Guild, this is Marshal Mu of the Empire, and this is…"
Nan Jie smiled as he patted Xiao Yan on the shoulder, introdug the notable figures present.
"Yan Xiao greets President Fa Ma, Marshal Mu…" After Nan Jie fihe introdus, Xiao Yan cupped his hands iing to the group.
However, at this moment, Fa Ma was frowning slightly, his gaze sing Xiao Yan up and down, as if searg for something.
"President Fa Ma, is something wrong?" Notig Fa Ma's behavior, Nan Jie couldn't help but ask in surprise. He hadn't expected such a rea from the president.
"Hehe, I don’t know why, but I seem to sense a faintly familiar aura ing from young Yan Xiao!" Fa Ma coughed lightly, looking a bit puzzled as he spoke.
"Familiar?" Xiao Yan blinked in fusion, feeling perplexed. Given his young age, it was impossible for him to have met this elder before. Could it be that the old man had detected the presence of his teacher? That seemed unlikely.
"Hehe, perhaps it’s just a mistake. As one grows older, illusions beore frequent!" Fa Ma shook his head in disappoi, sensing once more but failing to detect the previous feeling. He leaned ba his chair, his mind momentarily adrift, lost in memories.
Back when Fa Ma was still a young man traveling across the ti, he had ontered an immensely powerful elder. By a stroke of fate, Fa Ma had spent three days with this mysterious man, and during that time, the elder casually taught him a few things that greatly beed Fa Ma. It was with this knowledge that Fa Ma, inally an unknown figure, gradually rose to his current position after returning to the Jia Ma Empire. The more he progressed, the more he realized just how terrifyingly powerful that mysterious elder must have been!
The faint aura he had sensed from Xiao Yan earlier was somewhat remi of that elder, which was why Fa Ma had briefly lost his posure.
