Chapter 65 Everyone gets what they need
Xiao Yan's gaze lingered for a brief moment, and he marveled inwardly. Then he turned his gaze back to Liu Xi, who was wearing a dark robe and had a restrained temperament, completely different from the frivolous image he had in the city market a few days ago.
"Brother Liu Xi, why are you here?" he asked casually.
"Haha, it's not a big deal. I'm sure you, brother Xiao Yan, have heard something about what happened in the Jialie family yesterday, right?"
Liu Xi strode forward, came to Xiao Yan's side on the gravel road, and said with a smile.
"Well, I did hear bits and pieces of things from people in the city yesterday, but I don't know what exactly happened because the Gale family has issued a gag order to their subordinates. I only know that it seems to be related to you, brother?"
Xiao Yan nodded, stared at Liu Xi with his dark eyes, and spoke slowly.
"Haha, buddy, you don't know that the father and son of Jialiebi were in a mess because of the market. They couldn't come up with the conditions to ask me to refine the best elixir to save the market, so they planned to use force on me... Fortunately, I was lucky and escaped from the Jialie family yesterday after a lot of twists and turns. But because of this, the Jialie family and I have a grudge!"
As he spoke, a sneer appeared on Liu Xi's face. He spread his hands towards the place where the convoy "disappeared" on the side of the road and said:
"After escaping, I planned to create some trouble for the Jialie family! Unexpectedly, I met you during this process. But having said that, brother, you are still domineering. With a wave of your hand, you destroyed the second elder of the Jialie family and the entire convoy transporting medicinal materials!"
"I see. If I had known that the Jialie family was so shameless as to want to attack you, I should not have left in such a hurry the night before yesterday. If I had advised you a little more, you might have been the alchemist hired by our Xiao family. Then there wouldn't be such a dangerous situation later..."
Xiao Yan's face showed realization, and then he slapped the back of his head, showing regret and self-blame.
Liu Xi, who was standing next to him, saw his expression, but he didn't know how true his feelings were. However, he had to go along with him on the surface and consoled him:
"Brother, there is no need to do this. Now that things have come to this, it is useless to say more and it will not help..."
After hearing this, Xiao Yan sighed, nodded slightly, and then changed the subject:
"I wonder if you are willing to come to my Xiao family now? I told you when I left the day before yesterday that the door of my Xiao family will always be open to you! If you come to my Xiao family to be a specially hired pharmacist, your status and treatment will definitely not be unfair to you. Of course, if you have any needs, our Xiao family will try our best to meet them..."
The speech is over.
The words fell.
Upon hearing this, Liu Xi couldn't help but secretly complain about him: "Is this guy really cunning?"
If he agrees to join the Xiao family, it will definitely bring many benefits to him and the Xiao family. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone!
Let alone anything else, after he joined the Xiao family, as long as the Xiao family spread the slightest rumor that the alchemist originally hired by the Jialie family could not stay in the Jialie family and switched to the Xiao family, it would be tantamount to a heavy blow to the Jialie family!
The already grim situation of the Gale family will be made even worse!
The management rights of several major markets in Wutan City, this piece of fat meat, will probably be handed over to the Xiao family in the end.
And with an alchemist in the family, the Xiao family's strength will increase, the family cohesion will be improved, and the business in the market will flourish and become unbreakable.
Moreover, as the only family among the three major families in Wutan City that has an alchemist, its status and influence in Wutan City will also change accordingly, and a situation where one family dominates the city is foreseeable.
If this continues for a long time, there may not be enough "space" for the other two major families to exist in Wutan City.
Decline or a disgraced move out of Wutan City is all conceivable.
Even more so, from what he had figured out from reading the original novel about Xiao Yan's usual personality, he could imagine that when he first joined the Xiao family, Xiao Yan would definitely use his name to do some things, and there was no need to hide some of his actions, and let him take the blame when necessary, and by the way, he could see some of his secrets from his usual actions...
All kinds of.
All in all, Xiao Yan's wishful thinking was quite sound. Inviting him to join the Xiao family would be of great benefit to him with no harm at all!
However, although Liu Xi had guessed some of Xiao Yan's plans, from his own perspective, it seemed that joining the Xiao family for a period of time was not unacceptable?
First of all, even if he didn't lick Xiao Yan's chops, he could still build a better relationship with Xiao Yan so that the two of them wouldn't become enemies and fight each other easily because of some things in the later period.
Secondly, among the Xiao family members, and even in Wutan City, there are several main and secondary characters in this world. He can take advantage of the one or two months before Canaan College comes to recruit students to complete as many tasks as possible, earn task rewards, extend his life and improve his strength at the same time, killing two birds with one stone.
Furthermore, if he stayed at the Xiao family during this period of time, he could avoid running around and miss the time when Canaan College came to Wutan City to recruit students. After all, Canaan College would only stay in a city for a few short days to recruit students.
God knows exactly when they will come?
Although he wanted to apply to be a mentor, not a student...
I only know the admission criteria of Canaan College, but I don’t know the requirements for tutors…
Ok?
and many more!
Does Canaan College recruit tutors from outside?
Should I ask for it?
Even if Canaan College can be self-sufficient internally, and many students from the outer and even inner colleges choose to teach in the college after graduation, it should still absorb a certain amount of fresh blood from outside, right?
The premise is that the fresh blood must be good enough?
still is……
Thinking of this, Liu Xi felt inexplicably uneasy. He had finally planned out a place that would be a good place for him to "harvest leeks" for a long time and to complete tasks like crazy. He must not be unable to go when the time comes.
"Haha, what do you think, brother? How have you considered it?"
A few breaths of time passed since Xiao Yan finished speaking. At this time, Xiao Yan asked.
There was a hint of expectation in his words.
Hearing these words, Liu Xi gathered his mind and freed himself from his chaotic thoughts. He smiled and said, "Brother, how can I not accept your invitation?" At this point, he paused and looked at Xiao Yan and said,
"However, I may only serve as the specially-appointed alchemist of the Xiao family for more than a month."
Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment, then he smiled. Even if it was only more than a month, it was enough for the Xiao family to gain many benefits in various aspects during this period.
"That's fine. If you have a better place to go, just tell me. The Xiao family won't try to control or restrain you like the Jialie family did!"
Just say it.
The two looked at each other and smiled. They knew in their hearts that it was just a matter of getting what they needed. As for the extra thing, it was just a favor.
"By the way, I haven't asked yet, who is this girl?"
