Chapter 43 Deceiving Xiao Zhan
As soon as Xiao Zhan landed, he shouted loudly, "Who are you, scoundrel, daring to lay a hand on my son's best friend? Prepare to die!"
Before he finished speaking, azure battle qi surged out of his body like a tide, covering his entire body in a short breath and condensing into a thick layer of battle qi armor.
The powerful fluctuations of the mid-level Xuan-rank cultivation technique spread out, and a ferocious blue lion's head faintly condensed on the shoulder of the armor. It was none other than the Xiao family's top-level cultivation technique, "Raging Lion's Fury"!
When Xiao Zheng first saw Xiao Zhan barge in, he assumed that the other party was also after his so-called secret. However, after hearing Xiao Zhan's first words, his mood improved slightly.
Since transmigrating, Xiao Zheng has not yet had any contact with Xiao Zhan, but with the original work as a reference, he still doesn't really want to be enemies with this "benevolent father" of Xiao Yan.
However, you can't judge a book by its cover. Who knows if Xiao Zhan is being sincere or just pretending?
After a moment's thought, Xiao Zheng made a decision and said to Little Fairy Doctor, "Little Fairy Doctor, capture this guy, but don't kill him."
"it is good."
Without a word, Little Fairy Doctor pounced on Xiao Zhan, her slender hand containing terrifying power, aiming straight for Xiao Zhan's face.
In that instant, the aura of an eight-star Great Dou Master on her body flashed and disappeared once again.
When Xiao Zhan saw that the eight-star Grand Dou Master was listening to Xiao Zheng, he first breathed a sigh of relief, then a wry smile appeared on his face.
He was not angry at all about Xiao Zheng having Little Fairy Doctor capture him, and expressed his understanding.
After all, with Obapta's example before us, no one would easily believe what he said.
"Never mind, I was being presumptuous."
Xiao Zhan shook his head, raised his hands high, and declared loudly, "I surrender!"
The Little Fairy Doctor, who was rushing forward at lightning speed, suddenly stopped half a foot in front of Xiao Zhan, and her fierce attack came to an abrupt halt.
She turned her head, her clear eyes looking at Xiao Zheng, waiting for his further instructions.
Xiao Zheng stared intently into Xiao Zhan's eyes, trying to find a flaw in his demeanor.
But Xiao Zhan's eyes were open and honest, showing no sign of guilt, only helplessness after being misunderstood.
He smiled wryly and said, "Xiao Zheng, I came here just to see you, that's all."
After staring at Xiao Zhan for a long time, Xiao Zheng had an idea and casually rolled a pill from his back and handed it to Xiao Zhan.
He said in a deep voice, "I cannot fully trust you until I have figured everything out."
"So... please take this pill. It will cause you to lose your fighting spirit for one hour."
Xiao Zhan's gaze fell on the "pill," and he seemed to smell a faint, unusual odor.
But then he thought again, since Xiao Zheng had specifically instructed Little Fairy Doctor "not to kill him," it meant that Xiao Zheng probably wouldn't harm him.
Moreover, given the strength of the person beside Xiao Zheng, if they truly wanted to harm him, they wouldn't need to go through all this trouble.
Thinking of this, Xiao Zhan nodded slowly, reached out and took the pill, then put it in his mouth.
Seeing that Xiao Zhan was so cooperative, Xiao Zheng was certain that Xiao Zhan meant no harm. He then used his suction palm technique to suck the pill out of Xiao Zhan's mouth and casually threw it on the ground.
Xiao Zhan looked surprised.
Xiao Zheng coughed lightly and said, "Actually, these pills are just mud balls that I casually rubbed off my body. Even if you eat them, they won't have any effect, so you don't need to take them."
"..."
Xiao Zhan's lips twitched suddenly, his expression was extremely interesting, first astonishment, then a mixture of laughter and tears, and finally a face full of black lines.
Seeing Xiao Zhan's discomfitured expression, Xiao Zheng's last doubts vanished.
He dropped his joking expression and asked seriously, "Clan Chief Xiao, you really didn't come here because of the secret I possess?"
"Of course not."
Xiao Zhan immediately wiped the embarrassment off his face and said in a serious tone, "After you left Wutan City, that brat Yan'er was so anxious that he practically dug up the entire city."
"You are an extremely important friend to him, so how could I possibly hurt someone Yan'er values for the sake of a mere so-called secret?"
Xiao Zheng was greatly surprised upon hearing this.
He hadn't expected that Xiao Yan would go to such great lengths to find him. It seemed that Xiao Yan's sincere words and actions when they met in the Monster Forest were not a pretense.
At this moment, Xiao Zhan said again, "The reason I suddenly barged in is because I sensed the aura of Obaba and the unknown Great Dou Master, and I was afraid that you might encounter misfortune."
He paused, then said with admiration, "Xiao Zheng, you've truly changed a lot in just three days. We should look at you with new eyes."
"When you left, you were only at the fourth or fifth level of Dou Qi, but now you are a Dou Shi, and you even have an eight-star Dou Shi like Little Fairy Doctor by your side."
Xiao Zheng cupped his hands to Xiao Zhan and said, "Thank you, Uncle Xiao Clan, for coming to protect me. I was very rude just now, please forgive me."
"It's alright, it's alright. It's better to be cautious. Cautious people tend to live longer, and Yan'er is no exception..."
Xiao Zhan waved his hand and began to get down to business: "I know you must be hiding some secrets. After all, even Yan'er couldn't reach the level of a nine-star Dou Shi in a year and a half."
"To be honest, I'm not interested in your secrets, but there are quite a few people in Utan City who are eyeing you, not just the Obama family, but also the Mittel family, as well as some independent individuals."
"I hope you can tell me at least a little bit so that I can make some arrangements in advance and help you avoid some unnecessary trouble."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zheng nodded inwardly.
Xiao Zhan is right. Although he is not afraid of the local forces in Wutan City, what will happen if his affairs are reported outside of Wutan City?
If this attracts the attention of powerful Dou Huang experts from outside, things could get really serious.
A Douhuang expert is a powerful being who can tread the void without needing to transform Dou Qi into wings.
With his current resources, he can only escape from low-level Dou Huangs. If he encounters a high-level Dou Huang, he will only face certain death.
We really need to come up with a safe reason that can both dispel the covetousness of all parties and avoid revealing the real secret.
Just then, Xiao Zheng had a flash of inspiration and came up with an impeccable reason.
He flipped his right hand sharply, and a cluster of pale green flames suddenly rose from his palm, emitting a mysterious and powerful aura. It was his strange fire, the Thousand Machine Flame.
Xiao Zhan, being quite knowledgeable, immediately recognized the origin of the pale green flame: "This...this is a strange fire?!"
"Uncle Xiao has a good eye."
Xiao Zheng smiled slightly: "To be honest, like Brother Xiao Yan, I also have an alchemist as my teacher."
"However, my teacher's strength and skill are even greater than Brother Xiao Yan's. He not only taught me exquisite alchemy techniques, but also gave me this Thousand Machine Flame to refine."
"With the guidance of my teacher and the aid of elixirs, my strength has improved so quickly."
After saying that, he pointed to Little Fairy Doctor beside him: "You must be curious about the identity of this eight-star Grand Dou Master, right?"
"Her name is Little Fairy Doctor. She is a maid whom my teacher specially kept behind to protect my safety and take care of my daily life."
Little Fairy Doctor: ? ? ?
She was slightly taken aback at first, clearly not expecting Xiao Zheng to say that.
But she was so intelligent that she immediately understood and straightened her body, revealing a "that's right" expression on her face!
