The Master of All-Heavens Systems

Chapter 101: Blind to the Obvious

"Xiao Feng."Xiao Zhan walked up to Xiao Feng and nodded appreciatively, "Good child.""Brother Feng."Xiao Yan walked to Xiao Feng, his eyes a bit red, "Brother Feng, thank you.""We're brothers. There's no need to be so polite."Xiao Feng smiled, reaching out to pat Xiao Yan on the shoulder, "You decide what to do about this matter. Don't worry, no matter what you decide, your brother will support you.""Hmm."Xiao Yan nodded heavily, feeling deeply moved. Having such a brother was truly wonderful."Nalan niece."At this moment, Xiao Zhan had already walked up to Nalan Yanran, his face solemn, "Although what you did was unfair, I will not bully the weak, nor will I do anything to you. I will discuss this matter with Old Master Nalan.""Father, there's no need to say more."Xiao Yan stepped forward, standing tall, "Miss Nalan, today you use the influence of the Yunlan Sect to force my Xiao family. You want to annul the engagement because you think Xiao Yan, this so-called waste, is unworthy of you, a proud daughter of heaven."As he spoke, Xiao Yan looked towards Xiao Feng, "My brother was called a waste for ten years. Despite ten years of hard cultivation, his battle qi was only at level one. But now, who dares to call him a waste?"Xiao Yan continued speaking as he stepped closer to Nalan Yanran.Nalan Yanran, looking flustered, could only keep retreating until she was blocked by a chair.Xiao Yan sneered and continued, "Yes, I am indeed a waste now, but I am still young and have plenty of time. If I could create a miracle three years ago, why do you think I can't rise again?""Miss Nalan, the wheel of fortune turns; never underestimate the young and poor.""Good!""Well said!"Xiao Zhan and Xiao Feng almost simultaneously praised Xiao Yan's words."What right do you have to lecture me?"Nalan Yanran, a pampered young lady, had never been scolded so directly.Although she was terrified by Xiao Feng's aura, after Xiao Zhan intervened, she knew Xiao Feng wouldn't harm her. With this realization, her temper flared up again."Your brother Xiao Feng is indeed impressive. But that doesn't make you him. What right do you have to lecture me?"Having been scared by Xiao Feng and scolded by Xiao Yan, Nalan Yanran seemed on the verge of hysteria."You say you can rise again? Fine, I, Nalan Yanran, will wait for you. Three years from now, I will wait for you in the Yunlan Sect. If you can defeat me then, I, Nalan Yanran, will become your servant, obeying your every command.""Ha!"Xiao Yan sneered, "Three years from now, I will definitely visit the Yunlan Sect. But as for being a servant, I don't care for someone like you."With that, ignoring Nalan Yanran's extremely angry face, Xiao Yan walked to the table, picked up a pen, and wrote a divorce letter.Taking the letter, Xiao Yan walked to Nalan Yanran, and slammed it onto the table."Don't think you're so great. I don't care for a woman like you. This is your dismissal from the Xiao family. From now on, Nalan Yanran has no relation to the Xiao family.""You... you dare to divorce me?"Nalan Yanran, furious, seemed ready to lash out but quickly restrained herself, stealing a glance at Xiao Feng and sitting down in fear."Cough, cough."At this moment, Ge Ye, who had been watching, walked in, leaning on his sword and coughing."Clan Leader Xiao."Ge Ye glanced at the divorce letter on the table, his pale face looking even worse.Looking up at Xiao Zhan, Ge Ye said, "Isn't this divorce letter a bit too much? Although this matter is Nalan Yanran's idea, it has the approval of the Sect Master. If you divorce Nalan Yanran, it will not look good for the Sect Master. Clan Leader Xiao, this letter...""How ridiculous."Xiao Feng snorted, "The Yunlan Sect's face is important, but my Xiao family's face isn't? Have you not had enough beating? Want to try again?""Cough, cough."Ge Ye coughed again, "Your strength is indeed extraordinary, but you used a secret technique to enhance your power, right? Your actual strength is at most that of a Dou Shi. Our Yunlan Sect...""I am an alchemist."Xiao Feng's calm statement shocked everyone. With a flick of his wrist, a completely green pill appeared in his hand, emitting a refreshing fragrance."Qi Gathering Powder!"Everyone who recognized the pill exclaimed in unison, looking at Xiao Feng with eager eyes.Qi Gathering Powder, a third-grade pill, is not something just anyone can produce. Seeing this pill confirmed Xiao Feng's identity as an alchemist."Xiao Feng is an alchemist! Hahaha!"Xiao Zhan laughed heartily, his laughter filled with immense joy. Having an alchemist in the Xiao family was a matter of great celebration."An alchemist..."Ge Ye's face turned even paler, understanding the significance of an alchemist.Although Xiao Feng's battle qi was at most at the Dou Shi level, his alchemist rank was at least second-grade. This in itself was not a significant threat.However, alchemists do not grow out of the ground.The conditions to become an alchemist are stringent, requiring innate talent and, more importantly, a higher-ranked alchemist as a teacher.The bond between an alchemist and their teacher is often closer than that of a father and son.Xiao Feng being able to produce Qi Gathering Powder meant his teacher could at least make third-grade pills. Judging by the quality of this pill, his teacher might even be stronger than the Alchemist King Gu He.The thought of this shocked Ge Ye.The current situation was clear: offending Xiao Feng meant offending his teacher. Would hitting the young one bring out the old one?The Yunlan Sect, well-aware of the influence of an alchemist, knew that provoking someone of Gu He's caliber would come with a heavy price.For Nalan Yanran, it wasn't worth it, even if she was the disciple of the Sect Master."My brother Xiao Yan also has the talent to become an alchemist."Xiao Feng's next statement was even more shocking."What?""Xiao Yan has the talent to be an alchemist?""This..."The entire hall was thrown into an uproar."Xiao Feng, is this true? Yan'er truly has the talent?"Xiao Zhan, his face flushed with excitement, asked eagerly."My teacher confirmed it, so it can't be false."Xiao Feng nodded to the expectant Xiao Zhan, then looked at Xiao Yan with a smile, "My teacher has seen you and confirmed you also have the talent to be an alchemist. Xiao Yan, from now on, no one will dare to look down on you."At this moment, Nalan Yanran was completely stunned.Understanding the rarity of alchemist talent and thinking of her actions today, Nalan Yanran was utterly bewildered.Blind to the obvious, that's what she was.The person she looked down on as a waste turned out to be an alchemist. This made everything she did today a joke.To think that someone who could have been her husband, an alchemist, was dismissed as a waste, forcing an annulment and being divorced. In the future, Nalan Yanran would undoubtedly be seen as a prime example of being blind to the obvious, ridiculed by everyone.Everyone present understood that Nalan Yanran's annulment had become a laughingstock."What a mess this has become."Ge Ye, with a bitter expression, bowed to Xiao Zhan, "Clan Leader Xiao, this matter... I will take my leave now."With that, Ge Ye quickly left, pulling the still-stunned Nalan Yanran with him."Hahaha!"In the hall, Xiao Zhan laughed heartily, feeling utterly delighted.
