Chapter 57: Nalan Yanran's Heartbeat
Xiao Li didn't expect that Yun Yun would come to him in she said on the surface that she was helping Nalan Yanran to invite Xiao Li, only the two of them knew what she actually meant.
On the way to Nalan's house, Nalan Yanran and Nalan Su walked in front, while Xiao Li and Yun Yun walked behind.
"Yun'er, why are you here?" Xiao Li quietly pulled Yun Yun's slender hand, but she gently shook it away and said with a slight scolding.
"We are outside now, so you should pay attention to your image. Also, don't call me Yun'er in front of outsiders."
She cannot make her relationship with Xiao Li public yet.
The main reason was that even she herself didn’t know how to make their relationship public, and she was totally unprepared.
Therefore, in front of outsiders and in public, she must keep a certain distance from Xiao Li.
"it is good."
Xiao Li knew what Yun Yun was worried about and did not force her.
But it won’t be long before he goes to Yunlan Sect in person to let everyone know about his relationship with Yun Yun!
Soon, the group arrived at Nalan's house.
Xiao Li didn't say anything more and went straight to the point and came to Nalan Jie's room.
On the bed, Nalan Jie was unconscious, his face was black, and there was a wisp of black air between his eyebrows.
"My grandfather was fighting with the Iron-branded Poison Python many years ago and was unfortunately injured and poisoned. Over the years, he has not been able to remove the poison, but has relied on his own strong fighting spirit to resist it. But some time ago, he finally couldn't bear it anymore, the poison took effect, and he fell into a coma." Nalan Yanran said.
Xiao Li nodded, stretched out two fingers and placed them on Nalan Jie's wrist to take his pulse first. At the same time, he injected a strand of soul power into Nalan Jie's body to get a preliminary understanding of the situation.
It was a bit serious, but it was okay for him.
Seeing him withdraw his hand, Nalan Yanran quickly asked, "Mr. Xiao, how is it?"
"It's OK, a little bit tricky, but not too big. I'll start treatment next."
Hearing this, Nalan Yanran's face suddenly lit up and she nodded quickly: "Okay!"
Afterwards, Xiao Li helped Nalan Jie up, and then condensed a trace of netherworld poisonous fire from his fingertips and penetrated into Nalan Jie's body.
The reason why he used the Netherworld Poisonous Fire instead of the Blue Lotus Earth Core Fire was because the Netherworld Poisonous Fire itself was a kind of flame containing a highly toxic substance. It had a strong devouring effect on other toxins and was better at expelling the poison than the Blue Lotus Earth Core Fire.
As the strange fire began to take effect, the wisps of poison were burned into nothingness. Nalan Jie also showed some reaction and opened his eyes from his coma.
"Little brother, what are you..."
"I'm helping you get rid of the poison, don't talk." Xiao Li said in a deep voice.
Nalan Yanran and her daughter were overjoyed to see that Nalan Jie had woken up.
This is a good sign, indicating that Nalan Jie's condition is improving.
“He actually did it…”
Looking at Xiao Li's serious face, Nalan Yanran suddenly felt a little dazed.
It is said that serious men are the most handsome, and Xiao Li himself has his own attraction to the opposite sex, which makes Nalan Yanran inexplicably feel a little amorous.
"Let's go outside and wait."
Yun Yun called them all out.
……
"Teacher, are you and Young Master Xiao... familiar with each other?" Nalan Yanran couldn't help but be curious and asked Yun Yun about Xiao Li's situation.
"Well, we met last time when I went to the Warcraft Mountains to help you find the Purple Spirit Crystal." Yun Yun nodded.
"Oh, where is he from? Why have I never heard of him before?" Nalan Yanran was very curious.
Logically speaking, with Xiao Li's cultivation and alchemy skills, he should not be an unknown person.
But before the Alchemist Conference, not many people had heard of him.
"This... I'm not sure either."
Yun Yun was also stunned for a moment.
Thinking carefully, she seemed to really not know where Xiao Li was from. Obviously, such a thing had happened between them, but she was not very clear about Xiao Li's origins.
"Oh, then teacher, you know Mr. Xiao...what is his personality like?"
Yun Yun suddenly felt something was wrong. She looked at the disciple in front of her and asked, "Yanran, why do you care so much about Xiao Li? Do you think he is..."
"I didn't, I didn't." Nalan Yanran hastily denied it, but her slightly red cheeks still betrayed her.
"I'm just... curious."
Seeing her reaction, Yun Yun knew that Nalan Yanran must have some feelings in her heart.
"Xiao Li is much better than you, he may not necessarily think highly of you." Yun Yun felt inexplicably uncomfortable in her heart.
If nothing like that had happened between her and Xiao Li, she would have been happy to bring Nalan Yanran and Xiao Li together.
But now, she actually felt like she didn't want Nalan Yanran and Xiao Li to have too much contact.
"Teacher, what are you thinking about? I didn't say I like Mr. Xiao. I was just asking." Nalan Yanran muttered softly.
How could she possibly like a man she had only met a few times?
Although she felt that Xiao Li was indeed different from other men...
Soon, Xiao Li finally finished the treatment and came out of the room.
"Okay, the poison in the old man's body has been completely removed. Afterwards, just let him take some elixirs to calm his mind and nourish his qi. The alchemist of your Nalan family should be able to prescribe this."
"Thank you, Mr. Xiao!" Nalan Yanran was overjoyed. After thanking Xiao Li, she rushed into the room to visit Nalan Jie.
"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Xiao. Please move away and have a rest so that we can express our gratitude." Nalan Su said.
Xiao Li was not pretentious. He went to the living room with Nalan Su to rest for a while, and then received a large number of high-grade medicinal materials as a reward.
Although he didn't need these herbs, he couldn't help them for nothing.
"Since the matter has been resolved, I will not linger any longer. Chief Nalan, please stop."
Xiao Li and Yun Yun left the Nalan family together.
"I have to go back to the Yunlan Sect. There are still some things in the sect that need me to go back and deal with." Yun Yun raised her hand to lift the hair on her forehead and smiled slightly, bright and charming.
"Aren't you going to invite me to visit your Yunlan Sect?" Xiao Li asked back.
Yun Yun blinked her eyes: "If you want to come, I can't drive you away. If you don't want to come, can I still tie you up and bring you over?"
Looking at her, Xiao Li was about to reach out to hug her, but Yun Yun anticipated it and quickly slapped his hand away.
"There are so many people here, don't mess around!"
She glared at this audacious guy and quickly stepped back.
"I'm leaving. I'll wait for you in Yunlan Sect."
After saying that, she flew away.
Otherwise, she was really afraid that Xiao Li would do something excessive to her in public.
This guy has the guts to do this.
Xiao Li stayed where he was, muttering with some regret:
"It's almost there, Yunlan Sect. I'll be there in two days."
Then he returned to the restaurant.
……
Back at the restaurant, Xiao Li saw a familiar figure at the door.
"Fei'er? Why are you here?"
The person who came was none other than Ya Fei.
……
