Chapter 469 Sunset Red

Xiao Yan was slightly stunned, and then a glimmer of light suddenly flashed in his dull eyes.

Xiao Yan naturally reacted to what Yao Lao meant, and immediately stepped forward as if he had glimpsed a glimmer of light in the darkness again, suppressing the glimmer of hope that was rekindled.

"Teacher - what does the teacher mean?"

"I can't guarantee that it is 100% accurate, but no matter what, you have to go to the Yao Clan yourself... This kind of thing is not something I can explain to you clearly, and you naturally need to confirm it with your own eyes."

How could Yao Lao not know what Xiao Yan was thinking now? He just sighed and said.

Seeing this, Xiao Yan was slightly stunned. After a moment of silence, he completely understood Yao Lao's intention, and then nodded heavily.

"I understand, teacher."

Xiao Yan swept away all the frustration and loss, and the little hope rekindled his heart, which gave him a powerful motivation far greater than before.

"...... Yeah."

Looking at Xiao Yan who finally cheered up, Yao Lao was relieved. The girl was not dead, Yao Lao could confirm this no matter what. But why the girl did not mention this to Xiao Yan when she was distracted and dying, it was naturally intriguing.

Could it be that she wanted to keep a distance from Xiao Yan and maintain the illusion that she was dead in Xiao Yan's eyes?

If so, it would be too cruel to Xiao Yan. It would be too cruel to ask a person to bear the death of the person he loves for a lifetime.

Even if she died in Xiao Yan's arms like this, Xiao Yan would uncontrollably recall her death from then on.

No matter how much the girl resisted Xiao Yan, she could not cut off the connection between the two in such a cruel way.

On the contrary, if she really died soon, she would say anything to modify Xiao Yan's cognition, either to erase his memory of her, or to modify his cognition... On this issue, the living person is more painful than the dead person.

Maybe something went wrong with the girl.

Yao Lao kept thinking in his heart, vaguely guessing the most likely answer.

But no matter how many words you say, you have to go and see it with your own eyes.

"Teacher... where is the Yao Clan?"

Xiao Yan was silent for a moment, and then asked inappropriately, causing Yao Lao to be a little surprised. Then he shook his head and said: "In the extreme south of Zhongzhou, there is a Shennong Mountain Range. The entrance to the Yao Clan's land is in the Shennong Mountain Range... Don't tell me that you want to find someone now."

"With your current strength, do you think you can talk to the girl when facing those who are at least Dou Sheng level in the Yao Clan? Will they let you in? Will they let you come back alive?"

"I know."

Xiao Yan did not deny it. It's not that he has not come into contact with the strong men in the ancient clan. For example, the first time he saw the Dou Sheng strong man who took Yao Wan back, Xiao Yan would probably never forget it for the rest of his life. He just felt shocked and powerless as if he was fighting against the whole world.

"I know, but I want to know where my future goal is."

Xiao Yan clenched his fists: "If Dou Zun can't go to see her, then Dou Sheng will go! If Dou Sheng can't see her, then become Dou Di! I don't want her to leave me again-"

"Well, I believe you. In this case, there are still about three months before the start of the Alchemy Conference. Your cultivation has improved greatly now. Refining pills will be twice the result with half the effort for you. Practice well. This time, taking down the Three Thousand Flames will definitely be a great help to you."

Yao Lao nodded. He never doubted Xiao Yan's determination. His apprentice's other characteristics are that he can do what he says.

After comforting Xiao Yan, Yao Lao planned to go with Xiao Yan to refine pills. The Alchemy Conference was different from the small fights of the Jia Ma Empire. In addition to the old monsters in the big clans, it was a truly provincial capital where the top alchemists in the entire continent gathered. It must be taken seriously.

But before Yao Lao made any move, Xiao Yan remembered something and took out a soul bead the size of a black jade fingernail from his ring and handed it to Yao Lao.

Yao Lao was a little surprised. After going to the ruins, could this bring him back some local specialties?

"What is this?"

"I met an old friend of my teacher in the ruins, an old friend that my teacher no longer remembers. She asked me to pass this on to my teacher."

"Old friend?"

Yao Lao couldn't help but be stunned after hearing this, but still shook his head. If there were no thousand old friends like this, but he couldn't remember them, then for Yao Lao, there were at least eight hundred.

After all, most alchemists are popular socialites who are popular wherever they go. Yao Lao's reputation as the best alchemist on the continent is not just a few familiar friends, but also the result of Yao Lao making friends everywhere.

Although he has many friends, because there are too many friends, Yao Lao can't think of too many at once, so he can't help but shake his head gently.

However, he still took the soul bead from Xiao Yan. He was slightly startled. A particularly gentle soul force that he had never touched before was released from it. It was obvious that the soul in the soul bead was still there.

And what Yao Lao could be sure of was that he seemed to know the soul in the soul bead. The connection between souls... invisibly gave Yao Lao an indescribable sense of familiarity.

But he really couldn't remember who it was. He originally wanted to put the matter of the soul beads aside for now, but Xiao Yan took the initiative and said, "I'm going to refine the medicine first. The teacher can come and watch later." "

Yao Lao was startled, Xiao Yan had already said this, and he found it hard to refuse, so he just nodded silently.

"Then I will accompany Xiao Yan?"

Zi Yan blinked her bright purple eyes and looked curiously at the way Yao Lao and Xiao Yan clearly seemed to be hiding something. She always felt that Xiao Yan seemed to deliberately not get along with Yao Lao. In this case , it seems a little inappropriate to stay next to Yao Lao.

Xiao Yan did not deny it, he just stood up silently and turned around to leave. Zi Yan couldn't help pouting: "Xiao Yan - wait for me -"

After saying that, he chased out with brisk steps. Looking at the backs of Xiao Yan and Zi Yan, Yao Lao couldn't help but sigh, feeling that this was not a good thing.

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt an unusual fluctuation in the soul bead.

"Why don't you come out and meet this old friend of mine?"

Yao Lao couldn't help but ask, causing someone in the soul orb to be slightly stunned, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.

"You haven't even met me anyway. If I reveal my true identity, wouldn't that just cause embarrassment to both parties?"

But the person in the soul bead sighed quietly and couldn't help but say that the power of the soul that was like an instinctive breath also allowed her to sense Yao Lao's current state.

Yaochen...he...

How did he get so old?

She was a little dumbfounded, and it took her a while to slowly react. It seemed like... Xiao Yan was already Yao Chen's apprentice, so how could Yao Chen still be so young?

It seemed that it had been a long, long time since they conquered the Bone Spirit Lenghuo.

"...It seems to be true."

Yao Lao pondered for a moment, and then nodded. To be honest, after learning that painful lesson, Yao Lao actually doesn't trust so-called acquaintances that much. It's just because he trusts Xiao Yan and also trusts Xiao Yan's vision. Nothing could go wrong.

"After all these years, I haven't seen you despise the years. How come you have become such an old person?"

She was teasing in the soul bead, but what she felt more was helplessness and sighing. The high-spirited young man in the past had become an old man. The so-called times had changed and the world had changed. No matter how many descriptions she had, it was difficult to describe her mood at the moment.

"After so many years, things have changed and people have changed. There are so many things that will be changed."

Yao Lao paused slightly, and then said: "It seems that you are an old friend who I met when I was young?"

"--Um."

She curled up in the soul bead and nodded slightly.

"Then will it make you feel more comfortable if I look like I did when I was young?"

Yao Lao said something, and even his deep voice became young again and full of the vitality of a young man. The white hair on the temples gradually turned from exhausted paleness to pure silvery white, and the steady figure became more upright and proud in the blink of an eye.

Yao Lao didn't know what happened to him today. It was obvious that he just met an old friend with whom he had some fate, but he had already mentioned this before he knew it.

Is it because we are too lonely and bored nowadays?

Yao Lao shook his head. If nothing else, at least Feng Xianzao wouldn't be like this. Maybe it was just that he missed the past years more than he thought.

She was slightly stunned. The high-spirited young man in her memory seemed to be back in a trance.

"Medicine dust..."

She sighed softly, and then Yao Lao... no, it should be called Yao Chen's hand at this moment, the dark soul bead flew up with a spiritual light, and then landed in front of Yao Chen. Yao Chen had guessed it to some extent. She probably had a close relationship with her former self, but she still couldn't hide her shock and amazement.

It wasn't because of the beauty that appeared in front of him that he was amazed, but because of the unconcealable throbbing in his heart.

It is not something that can be fabricated by disguising or covering up, but the traces left by some unforgettable existence in the past.

It's just that he can't remember it anymore, there is no relevant memory, and there are no traces left. In this matter, no miracle will happen again.

After all, the reunion of the two now is already a miracle that should have been impossible.
