Chapter 926
Xiao Yan was still standing outside the thatched hut, quietly looking at the stunning girl not far away who was concentrating on practicing.
Although it had only been a few minutes in Xiao Yan's eyes, it was obvious from the girl's appearance that several years had passed. She had grown much taller, and her originally pleasing appearance became more and more beautiful with age, and her face gradually became closer. She had the familiar appearance of Xiao Yan, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone on the side of the girl's face, like a picture of beauty drawn by heaven, which was intoxicating.
However, compared to the silver-white color in her mind, the girl's long hair is still jet black at this time, and there are some beads of sweat dripping from her forehead, which shows the girl's perseverance.
At this time, the wooden door of the thatched house opened. Xiao Yan glanced slightly and saw the beautiful woman slowly walking out, leaning on the door frame.
A few years have passed, and the weakness on that face has obviously weakened a little.
After walking out of the thatched house, the beautiful woman looked at her daughter who was practicing with her eyes closed. She did not come forward to disturb her. She just leaned on the door frame quietly and stared at the girl's pretty face. She couldn't help but be lost in thought, with a trace of sadness in her eyes.
Three years ago, after guessing the news of her husband's death, the beautiful woman once wanted to leave with him, but in the end she persisted until now.
The beautiful woman knew very well that even though she was a pure drag to the girl now, she was still the girl's only spiritual sustenance. She must not let go until the girl could truly grow up to be independent.
After an unknown amount of time, the girl's training finally came to an end. She slowly opened her eyes, her ruby-red eyes revealing her heroic vitality. Then she noticed the beautiful woman leaning against the door in her field of vision, and her expression changed slightly. He quickly jumped up and hurried to the beautiful woman's side to support her, with a somewhat reproachful tone.
"Mom, I have told you so many times, try not to get out of bed and have a good rest."
"Haha. No matter how rested you are, you can't lie in bed every day. Otherwise, what will happen to your mother?"
The beautiful woman asked with a slight smile, which made the girl's mouth twitch slightly, but she said nothing. Then she breathed a deep sigh of relief and looked at the beautiful woman seriously.
"Mom, we are going to the clan's medicine meeting soon. As long as I can win the championship this time, I can take you to move into the clan's land and get a lot of medicinal materials to help you practice."
The girl said this eloquently. When she was a child, she was ignorant and thought that her mother's body was naturally weak. However, in the past few years, after she really came into contact with refining medicine, she gradually understood that the source of her mother's weakness was not illness at all, but Because he was born unable to practice, his body was unable to withstand the majestic energy that filled the Yao Clan.
The girl thought about taking her mother away from the Medicine Clan, but she finally gave up after much hesitation.
Although they, mother and daughter, have always been looked down upon because they were born from side branches and have little merit, they are still members of the Yao clan, and they will not go too far among their fellow clansmen, and they also gave Yao Shen the opportunity to practice and learn to refine medicine. Opportunities, these are treatments that are unavailable outside the Yao Clan.
But this is not necessarily the case outside the Medicine Clan. Regardless of whether she can obtain the resources to practice and refine medicine, with her strength, she cannot guarantee the safety of her mother after leaving the Medicine Clan. After careful consideration, she still came to the conclusion that she cannot leave the Medicine Clan. result.
Since he couldn't leave the Medicine Clan, he could only solve the beautiful woman's situation from another direction.
Refining medicine.
In the past few years, the girl has painstakingly studied the art of refining medicine. One of the main purposes is to solve the physical condition of the beautiful woman. For this reason, the girl is the most attentive among her peers in the medicine tribe. In addition, she has a very good talent for refining medicine. , and soon became the most outstanding student of alchemy in this generation.
During this period, the girl also successfully developed a medicine that could solve her mother's condition, called Foundation Establishment Spiritual Liquid.
However, this medicine is different from ordinary medicines. It is not for drinking. With her mother's current strength, she simply cannot withstand the violent energy of the medicinal materials. The real function of this foundation-building liquid is to dissolve in water, and the user can soak it in the water. It warms and nourishes the meridians in a very gentle way, which is why the beautiful woman's weakness has slowed down a lot compared to before.
As long as the beautiful woman's meridians can be warmed and nourished through special medicinal materials, and the beautiful woman who was originally unable to practice can gradually be able to practice successfully, as her strength improves, the beautiful woman's physical condition will surely gradually improve.
But slowly, the girl discovered that this was not enough.
The beautiful woman has been weak for too long, and she must improve her strength as soon as possible to completely solve her problem, otherwise it will just be a delay.
For this reason, she must win the championship of the Medicine Association. As long as she can win the championship of the Medicine Association, she will be valued by the medicine clan, and she will also have more permission to obtain more medicinal materials to cure her mother.
Even for this medicine meeting, the girl used her father's pension, which she had tried to reduce as much as possible over the past few years, to purchase the ingredients for the sixth-grade elixir Qixin Dan. Although it had never been refined, the girl had already thought about it. I have simulated it countless times, and this time I will definitely be able to win the alchemy championship with this seven-core elixir!
Looking into the girl's radiant eyes, the beautiful woman showed a soft smile, her eyes filled with pride for her daughter, and nodded gently.
"Well, mother believes in you."
Xiao Yan leaned outside the thatched house, quietly looking at the mother and daughter who were looking at each other. The conversation between the two was obviously so full of hope, but Xiao Yan's face was already filled with a dark haze.
After listening to Han Feng's story, he naturally knew what would happen next.
The next moment, the warm scene in front of me changed, gloomy dark clouds filled the sky, and heavy rain poured down on the valley.
In Xiao Yan's sight, the girl in the distance walked toward the thatched house step by step in despair, with despair and doubt written on her face, and she kept muttering in her mouth.
"How could it be? There was obviously nothing wrong with the steps or the heat, so why did it fail? It shouldn't have failed."
The heroic girl not long ago was in sharp contrast to the desperate look at this moment. The girl still can't understand why she failed.
But there is one thing that the girl can confirm.
That's who she is now, and she has no face to see her mother.
The girl stood at the door of the thatched house, letting the heavy rain hit her delicate body. Her shoulders were shaking slightly due to the cold air, which was particularly distressing. But at this time, the girl didn't care at all. She raised her head slightly, looked at the heavy rain, and murmured in a low voice. .
"My mother's body. I don't know if it can still hold up."
It was just a failure. The girl didn't care about it. She could accept the failure. Even if she spent all her father's pension to buy the medicinal materials and had to save up for a long time to buy it again, it didn't matter to her. She just took her time.
But she knew very well that with her mother's physical condition, she could no longer wait for her to take her time.
"Why don't you steal some?" The girl suddenly said this, which shocked Xiao Yan slightly. "Anyway, there are so many medicinal materials in the clan. If there are less, no one should be able to catch them."
Listening to the girl's words, Xiao Yan suddenly fell into a trough.
Could it be that the truth was really consistent with Yao Wangui's original false accusation? But then, the girl seemed to wake up, shook her head suddenly, raised her palm and patted the beautiful side of her face.
"No, no! What am I thinking! If I get caught, my mother will really have no one to care about!"
The girl is very aware of the consequences of stealing within the clan. Once caught, she will be expelled from the clan even if she does not die.
It doesn't matter if he is expelled, but if he leaves the Yao Clan, his mother will undoubtedly die.
These words made Xiao Yan's nervous expression gradually dissipate, and then the girl cheered up and cheered for herself.
"It doesn't matter. This failure should be regarded as a lesson. There will be a medicine meeting in half a year. My mother's physical condition is much better than before. As long as I work hard to help her recover, I will definitely be able to survive."
As if to confirm her words, the girl nodded vigorously. She glanced out of the window and found that the beautiful woman was still sleeping soundly on the bed. Then, a pretending relaxed smile appeared on her face. When she was about to open the door and go in, three figures suddenly appeared. Behind the girl.
The leader, Xiao Yan, had met him before. Although he was a little younger, Xiao Yan still recognized him. He was Yao Wangui, the emissary representative sent by the Yao clan for the first time. As for the two people behind him, they were wearing uniform clothes. They should be law enforcement officers from the Yao Clan.
The girl also noticed the arrival of several people and turned to look at Yao Wangui in confusion.

"Elder Yao Wangui, what can I do?"
Except for his comrades who came to pay the pension when his father was killed in battle, no outsiders have come to his home. This is the first time that Yao Wangui has returned.
Yao Wangui's face was gloomy at this time, he stared at the girl, and said coldly.
"My clan's medicine was stolen, and I broke into the restricted area of the Yao clan to steal the medicinal material Starry Sky Grass. I am now arresting you for the duty of punishing the elders of the Yao clan."
Star grass? Stealing medicinal materials?
Yao Chen's face was stunned, with disbelief on his face, and he immediately opened his mouth to defend.
"I didn't! I have never been to the Medicine Clan's forbidden area, let alone stolen medicinal materials!"
"Then answer me, where did your starry sky grass come from?"
"I bought it with my father's pension."
"Absurd!" Yao Wangui yelled angrily, interrupting Yao Shen's defense, "Your father's pension is only a mere fifty thousand, and the starry sky grass is a high-end medicinal material required for sixth-grade elixirs, which is at least one hundred thousand. To start with, I have already checked that your income in the past few years can barely support the lives of you mother and daughter, and it is impossible to afford Star Grass!"
slander! Absolute slander!
Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!
Yao Chen's face showed panic and anger, and he still argued hard without giving up.
"I asked my classmate Xueyou to buy it. He said that he got the starry sky grass by chance. He sold it to me at a low price because he knew that I needed this medicinal material and he had a good relationship with me."
"Ho? Your classmate Xueyou?" Yao Wangui raised his head slightly and asked, "What's that person's name?"
"His name is Yaolin. He just transferred to our school not long ago. You can go find him as a witness!"
Yao Shen made such a reasonable request, but Yao Wangui stared at her and said coldly.
"There is no need to look for it. There is no such person as Yao Lin in the entire Yao Clan."
As soon as these words came out, Yao Shen had not yet reacted, his eyes filled with anger.
"You didn't even go to check, so how can you say there is no such person?"
"If I say no, then it means no." Yao Wangui said this, lowering his voice slightly, and his tone was full of sinisterness, "Little girl, it is not a good thing if your talent is revealed too quickly."
Hearing Yao Wangui's words, Yao Chen's face suddenly turned pale. He instantly guessed something and stared at Yao Wangui angrily.
"Could it be that my failure in refining the medicine in this medicine meeting was all because of you?"
"Heh~ You didn't even know that the Starry Sky Grass had been replaced, but you still wanted to win the championship. How ridiculous!" Yao Wangui looked down at Yao Chen with an extremely cold tone, "I didn't mean to target you, but you had to climb up and get in my way, so don't blame me for using tricks."
The champion of the Medicine Association can enjoy a lot of licensing rights, which is why the Medicine Clan, including Yao Chen, is scrambling to win the championship.
If it were someone else, Yao Wangui might not dare to do it so blatantly.
But very fortunately, Yao Chen is just an orphan and a widow. Even if everyone sees that she is framing her, no one will support her.
"Take her away!"
Yao Wangui raised his hand and shouted coldly. Yao Chen suddenly reacted and didn't think about clearing his grievances at the first time.
Yao Chen understood in his heart that since Yao Wangui dared to do this, he had made sufficient preparations. He, a branch without any backing, was not qualified to overturn the case.
The person who wronged you knows better than you how wronged you are.
Therefore, what Yao Chen was concerned about at this time was not his own grievances, but another matter.
"Wait! My mother is seriously ill in bed now. If I leave, then she..."
"That has nothing to do with me."
Yao Wangui interrupted Yao Chen again, and the law enforcement officer behind him directly stepped forward to control Yao Chen, and still ignored Yao Chen's excuses, and took Yao Chen away.
Another law enforcement officer glanced at the thatched house, narrowed his eyes slightly, and whispered to Yao Wangui.
"Elder Yao Wangui, how to deal with Yao Chen's mother?"
Yao Wangui glanced at the thatched house and sensed the beautiful woman who was still sleeping in the thatched house. As a top alchemist, he immediately analyzed the physical condition of the beautiful woman.
Her body was extremely weak, or it was a miracle that she could live to this day. It should be that Yao Chen has been forcibly extending her life. This time Yao Chen tried his best to refine the sixth-grade elixir Qixindan at the medicine meeting for this reason.
Then Yao Wangui snorted coldly, his eyes full of coldness and ruthlessness.
"Don't worry about her. Without this little girl, her mother won't live long."
After saying that, Yao Wangui walked away, and the law enforcement officer followed quietly.
In a place they couldn't see, Xiao Yan still leaned against the thatched hut, quietly watching the whole process, his eyes full of murderous intent, staring at Yao Wangui's back.
Then the scene changed, the sun was particularly bright, and under the shining of this bright sun, Yao Chen, with shackles on his hands and feet, returned to the outside of the thatched hut under the custody of two law enforcement officers. When he saw his home several times on the way, Yao Chen instinctively wanted to rush up, but was firmly held by the law enforcement officers next to him, so he had to give up.
Finally, the two law enforcement officers sent Yao Chen to the thatched hut, and then let go of his hand and said coldly to Yao Chen.
"Go, bring your mother with you, and we will expel you from the Yao Clan together."
After stealing medicinal materials, being expelled was the best outcome for Yao Chen.
Yao Chen knew that he could not defend himself, so he retreated and said that he hoped to be expelled with his mother.
Yao Wangui naturally had no objection to this. Although he knew it was impossible, he still agreed.
Yao Chen slowly opened the door and stood there in a daze for a long time.
Then his knees suddenly became weak, and his body collapsed on the ground, with tears silently sliding from the corners of his eyes.
What was even more shocking was that the long black hair instantly turned silver-white in Xiao Yan's eyes. (End of this chapter)
