"Speaking of which, Xiao Miao, where did you find this strange fire?"

“Yes, A-Miao, explain in detail.”

Hearing Yao Lao's question, and with Xiao Yan listening attentively, Xiao Miao could only slowly recount his experiences over the past year.

Even though Xiao was nowhere to be seen, the two were still incredibly envious. What incredible luck! They found it just by taking a few steps.

As Xiao Miao recounted his story, the two were shocked to hear about Yun Yun's feelings for him, no wonder they reacted so strongly that night.

But then the old doctor also noticed the key points.

The thought of "two kinds of fire" crossed his mind, and at the same time, his eyes couldn't help but reveal envy again. A single flower was already hard to find in the world, but he never expected to encounter two kinds of fire.

At this moment, Xiao Yan was also startled and stammered:

"In other words, A-Miao, you still have a strange flame there."

Seeing Xiao Yan's longing gaze, Xiao Miao realized that she had almost forgotten about it, and nodded in agreement.

Suddenly, Xiao Yan grabbed Xiao Miao's leg and said in a deliberately deep voice:

"Ah Miao, your third brother has never asked you for anything before, but now, regarding this strange fire, your third brother... I..."

Seeing Xiao Yan's dramatic appearance, Xiao Miao couldn't help but facepalm, took out the jade bottle from his storage ring, and then handed it over.

"Third Brother, Elder Yao, this place is sealed. I will lift the seal later. You can then input your soul power into it, so that even if others get the jade bottle, they won't be able to use it."

Seeing Xiao Miao's actions, Xiao Yan nodded repeatedly. Yao Lao, on the other hand, was deep in thought. He had already probed into Xiao Miao with his soul power, but it was as if he had sunk into the sea without any reaction. It seemed that his previous thought was correct. Xiao Miao had a secret behind him, but he would not investigate it.

"All right."

As Xiao Miao finished speaking, the two probed their soul power into it, but they were immediately engulfed by the violent flame energy inside.

Yao Lao was alright, but Xiao Yan suffered a splitting headache as soon as he entered, which made Yao Lao quickly protect him, and only then did he feel a little better.

As the recognition process was completed, Xiao Yan quickly withdrew from it, his body limp, his eyes still showing lingering fear.

He never expected that a small jade bottle would contain an alternate dimension. The scene inside was terrifying to him. Flames swept everywhere, and even the slightest touch of his soul caused him to feel as if he were melting from the intense heat.

At this moment, he couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache as he looked at Xiao Miao, thinking of his younger brother who had suffered so much pain at such a young age. He was determined not to let him down.

A resolute look flashed in his eyes, and although his voice was still a little weak, he still spoke to Xiao Miao:

"Don't worry, A-Miao. When your third brother becomes a great alchemist, whatever pills you want, I'll make them."

Hearing Xiao Yan's emotional words, Xiao Miao smiled and nodded. Although he didn't have the talent in this area, with his third brother around, he was sure he wouldn't lack pills in the future.

"Don't be too eager for quick success. You just saw the energy inside. You can't absorb it right now, let alone without the help of pills. If you rashly come into contact with it, you will only die. You should focus on cultivating right now."

Upon hearing Yao Lao's words, Xiao Yan nodded obediently.

The gentle morning breeze caressed Xiao Miao and Xiao Yan's faces.

"Let's go."

Xiao Yan said to Xiao Miao beside him, "Although the two of us talked all night last night, we can't be late today. After all, it is the Xiao family's coming-of-age ceremony, not to mention that so many important figures from the capital have come."

"Ah."

Xiao Miao responded with a sound of agreement and followed Xiao Yan's steps. The two walked outside, the youthful spirit as vibrant as willow catkins in the spring breeze.

The Xiao family was unusually lively today, not only because the younger generation of the Xiao family were eager to participate in the coming-of-age ceremony, but also because people from many other forces had arrived early.

At this moment, Xiao Miaozhan was talking with these people, his smugness was hard to hide, and he was extremely gratified. He never thought that his Xiao family would rise to prominence like this.

Suddenly, he saw Xiao Yan and Xiao Miao walking over, and he smiled and nodded as a greeting.

The two men waved to him, and seeing this, the people around Xiao Zhan quickly began to flatter him.

"The two sons of Chief Xiao are truly dragons among men."

"That's it."

Xiao Zhan felt flattered by the praise, but he still pretended to be humble.

"Where, where."

As time went by, more and more people appeared around me, and I even saw many familiar family members.

Chapter 67 Jealousy too?

Suddenly, Xiao Yan and Xiao Miao heard a commotion. They turned around and saw that Xiao Xun'er had arrived.

Seeing this scene, I wasn't too surprised. After all, it wasn't the first or second time that Xiao Xun'er's appearance had attracted attention.

Xiao Miao was still a little uncomfortable, but Xiao Yan greeted him instead.

Upon hearing Xiao Yan's greeting, Xiao Xun'er also came over and greeted the two of them, but she wasn't as intimate as before, as if she was deliberately keeping her distance.

Seeing Xiao Xun'er's expression, Xiao Miao assumed that she had accepted it in her heart, so he nodded.

As the coming-of-age ceremony began, Xiao Miao parted ways with the two. It was a coming-of-age ceremony, and Xiao Miao was not participating. For him to go and test his abilities would be a joke.

The Xiao family had already arranged a seat for him at the head table, so he immediately walked upstairs.

Xiao Yan and Xiao Xun'er waited inside for the registration to begin.

Although Xiao Xun'er's expression was calm, a deep madness surged within her eyes. However, when Xiao Yan spoke to her, everything seemed to return to calm, as if nothing had happened.

Xiao Miao sat down in his seat, and Medusa slowly walked over and sat down directly to his right.

Seeing this, Xiao Miao couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

"What, you're not happy that I've come to keep you company?"

Medusa spoke, but a faint smile remained on her face, clearly making a joke.

"It's okay, I'm fine."

Seeing that Xiao Miao did not refuse, Medusa took his right hand and looked down at the ritual test.

These were just child's play to her; she had already achieved her biggest goal for this trip.

At this moment, Nalan Jie was sitting to Xiao Miao's left, which suited his wishes. He had originally planned to find him after the coming-of-age ceremony, but unexpectedly, Nalan Jie was sitting right next to him.

"Chief Nalan, I heard from my third brother yesterday that you have been poisoned by the branding poison."

Xiao Miao asked Nalan Jie beside him, but his tone was certain.

"Hey, Xiao boy, no need to be so polite. You're also Yanran's junior brother. If you don't mind, you can call me grandpa along with Yanran. To be honest, I am indeed suffering from branding poison, and I'm afraid only a different kind of fire can cure me."

Nalan Jie was initially cheerful, but then, remembering his less-than-optimistic situation, a hint of melancholy crept onto his face. If given the chance, he would like to witness his granddaughter's marriage.

"Actually, I do have it. If Chief Nalan trusts me, I can give it a try."

At this moment, Nalan Jie looked on in disbelief. After a moment, he looked around and asked in a low voice:

"You're not lying to me, are you?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Miao simply smiled and remained silent, but his expression spoke volumes.

"After this is over, we'll talk in detail."

At this moment, Nalan Jie's face showed a hint of joy at surviving a disaster. If one can live, no one wants to die, especially someone his age.

Xiao Miao nodded, then turned his gaze to Medusa on his right. He felt a little helpless. When he was talking to Nalan Jie, he felt Medusa gripping his right hand even tighter, which was now a little painful.

"Be gentle, don't be jealous, sweetie."

Seeing that Xiao Miao had finally turned her gaze over and spoke to her in a gentle tone, Medusa loosened her grip on her left hand.

"I am not jealous."

Seeing Medusa like this, Xiao Miao didn't say anything more, lest he provoke her again.

How long do you plan to stay here?

Xiao Miao was curious when he saw that Medusa still had time to stay at the Xiao family home to watch her coming-of-age ceremony.

Upon hearing Xiao Miao's words, Medusa's heart, which had just calmed down, jumped again. Her narrow phoenix eyes narrowed slightly as she looked at Xiao Miao and said coldly:

"The snake-people have elders in charge, so I don't need to worry about them. What, you find me annoying and want me to leave?"

"No, why would I find you annoying?"

Seeing Medusa's expression, Xiao Miao couldn't help but feel a little helpless. How could she be so sensitive? She could connect this to anything just by asking a casual question. So he gently stroked her ear and whispered something to her.

When Medusa saw Xiao Miao leaning closer to her in an intimate gesture, a blush appeared on her usually cold and beautiful face. Her temper vanished instantly. For some reason, she felt that after he went home, he was not as restrained as before. Every move he made could stir her heart. But this was good. She liked it even more.

The rest of the crowd watched as the Xiao family members took to the stage one by one, but they were not greatly moved. Although the Xiao family had developed rapidly in recent years and the strength of its disciples had improved considerably, it was only occasionally that a few young people broke through to the Dou Zhe level. For experts of their caliber, it was nothing to worry about and simply boring.

Ultimately, it's all just the consequence of a certain queen's capriciousness; these people are merely supporting characters.

Yun Yun sat opposite them, her face as cold as ice, watching the two whispering in each other's ears with a gloomy expression.

This made Yunshan sigh repeatedly. His disciple still hadn't given up. He really didn't want to come after losing face yesterday, but Yunyun dragged him here. In the end, he only came to watch others being affectionate. He really didn't know what he wanted to do here.

At this moment, a commotion broke out below the stage, and even the audience on stage, who had been quite bored, rushed over.

The Xiao family placed Xiao Yan and Xiao Xun'er, the two strongest members, at the very end. When Xiao Yan came on stage just now, his strength as a four-star Dou Zhe led the entire audience, which shocked everyone. Although there had been news of his talent recovery before, no one expected that his cultivation would improve so rapidly. If he hadn't wasted those years, he would probably be even more terrifying now.

The crowd on stage was buzzing with discussion. Nalan Jie smiled at the sight, thinking that his judgment was truly excellent and that this kid had a bright future ahead of him.

But what happened next left everyone speechless. As Xiao Yan went down, Xiao Xun'er leaped onto the stone platform, placed her palm on the stone tablet, and channeled her fighting spirit into it.
