This Void Devouring Flame seems a bit strange

Chapter 14 If you want to pretend, you have to pretend more thoroughly.

"In that case, Mr. Xu, can you help the Third Young Master cure his illness?"

"Cure the disease?" Xuwu Tunyan looked at Yu Xiao in confusion. Of course he knew what Yu Xiao meant, but he still pretended to be ignorant.

"Yes, Third Young Master Xiao Yan used to be extremely talented, but a few years ago, for some unknown reason, his Dou Qi became less and less every day. Now, it has stabilized at the third stage of Dou Qi."

"I can't do that." Xuwu Tunyan spread his hands and said, "I'm not a doctor."

"But can't you improve people's strength? Master Xiao Yan treats me very well. He never looks down on me or scolds me. Oh, right, those spiritual liquids..."

Yu Xiao wanted to continue, but was interrupted by Xuwu Tunyan: "Even if I want to treat it, I have to get the consent of the Xiao clan leader. I can't act on my own. Besides, this kind of thing is too risky. The meridians of the Douzhiqi stage are very fragile."

"Then Mr. Xu Yan must have a friend who is an alchemist, right? Is there any way for Mr. Xu Yan to ask him to treat Master Xiao Yan?"

"Yes, but my friend is a secluded person, so even I can't easily call him out." Xuwu Tunyan shrugged. All the medicines he brought were made by Hunxuzi. Could he just call Hunxuzi over? That was 1000% impossible.

“Is that so…” Yu Xiao was a little dejected. In the Xiao family, only the clan leader Xiao Zhan and the third young master Xiao Yan were the only ones who did not look down on him and did not discriminate against him because of his background. Therefore, he also hoped to help them.

"By the way, that girl named Xiao Xun'er must be from a prominent family, right?" Xuwu Tunyan asked casually, while Ling Ying, who was hiding in the shadows, instantly went into alert mode again from his originally relaxed state.

"Huh? How did Mr. Xu know?"

"It's just simple logical reasoning. I helped Xiao Yan out of trouble before, but she showed hostility towards me. If it was an ordinary family member, the Xiao clan leader would definitely be obviously angry and might even punish her. However, after she showed hostility, the Xiao clan leader did not punish her. So we can only infer that her background is so powerful that even the Xiao clan leader dare not touch her."

Xuwu Tunyan was certainly not stupid enough to say that he knew she was from the Ancient Clan. Since he was going to pretend to be ignorant, he would pretend to be ignorant to the end. Then he added fuel to the fire and said, "Humph, I think her concern for Xiao Yan is probably fake. Since she has a strong background, why doesn't she find a good doctor for Xiao Yan?"

"Mr. Xu, that's not the case. I can see that Miss Xun'er is sincere to Xiao Yan. As for finding a doctor... I'm not too sure, but I believe she is definitely not pretending." Yu Xiao hurried to smooth things over. She usually served Xiao Yan, so of course she could tell whether Xiao Xun'er really cared about Xiao Yan or was just pretending.

After hearing Xuwu Tunyan say that Xun'er came from a distant past, Ling Ying thought it was no big deal. However, after hearing the other party say "it was just reasoning", Ling Ying suddenly felt like he had prepared cheat sheets overnight for an exam, only to find out that the exam was cancelled. After hearing the "righteous indignation" in the second half, Ling Ying felt a little embarrassed. If my lady really didn't care about Xiao Yan, then the key issue might have been solved...

However, these words did reduce Ling Ying's vigilance a lot. With Xu Yan's personality, he shouldn't be someone with bad intentions.

"Is that so... Then I'll just believe it for now. Oh, I really don't know why she is so unhappy with me. Is she jealous because I'm rich?"

When Ling Ying heard this, he almost laughed because he lived in Bengbu. With a few hundred thousand, he dared to say that he was rich? For the ancient clan, this amount of money was like a hair on a cow. Of course, he didn't know that the person who said this was the second in command of the soul clan.

"It's getting late. You should pack up and have a good rest. A good sleep will make your training more efficient the next day."

"Yes." Yu Xiao turned and left the room. Seeing that their conversation was over, Ling Ying did not intend to stay any longer. He saw the shadow in the corner fluctuate almost imperceptibly and then returned to normal.

"Finally left." Xuwu Tunyan couldn't help but snort, "When Xiao Xuan died, he didn't have the courage to go to the Soul Clan. Now he's thinking about how to get something for nothing every day, and ended up losing his daughter. It's speechless." But when he thought that even though Gu Yuan was slacking off like this, he still got a son-in-law who was a Five Emperors Breaking the Sky and Dominating Realm, it was really infuriating.

In another courtyard of the Xiao family, Xiao Xun'er was reading a book under the lamp, and then a black shadow appeared.

"Mr. Ling, is there any progress?"

"Miss, it's like this..." Ling Ying recounted everything he had seen and heard in the Void Devouring Flame room.

Xun'er didn't care about Xuwu Tunyan's "condemnation" of her. She wasn't so petty that she would call for war and killing just because of a few words spoken secretly. What concerned her more was that it seemed that this "Xu Yan" didn't seem to have any other purpose. Was it really that she was overthinking it?

"Miss, from what I have seen, perhaps this Xu Yan really has no other motives?"

"Well... let's keep an eye on him. He should stay for a while. If we really can't find anything, we can talk about it then."
