Chapter 231 Meddlesomeness

Hearing Xiao Yan's words, the silver-haired girl was stunned at first, and then her cold face changed slightly. She immediately took back the scroll she handed out, and her eyes looking at the stall owner also revealed a vigilant look.

She was just ignorant of the world, not stupid. Xiao Yan's words were understood to this extent. If she still didn't hear that there was something wrong with the peach blossom fire, she really shouldn't go out.

Seeing that the big bargain that was about to be obtained was messed up by Xiao Yan, the stall owner's face instantly darkened, staring at Xiao Yan, and his tone was also a little exasperated.

"Who are you to her?!"

"I don't know her at all, I just passed by."

Xiao Yan's honest response made the stall owner even more angry.

You don't know her at all? Then why did you come out to join in the fun?

"Don't mind your own business! What does this have to do with you?!"

The stall owner stared at Xiao Yan and questioned, and his eyes looked like he wanted to eat Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan was not afraid of the stall owner's look and answered softly.

"To put it mildly, I don't want the people I care about to be deceived by similar things, so the fewer people who deceive and cheat, the better." Xiao Yan stroked his wrist and frowned tightly, "To put it seriously, if I don't care about this today, I will think of myself as a bystander in the future, and I will think that I didn't follow my own righteous path at this time."

"Maybe this is just a trivial matter in the eyes of others, but in my opinion, if I can ignore such a trivial matter, then I can find a lot of high-sounding excuses when I face big things in the future?"

"So I will take care of this trivial matter today."

Xiao Yan's speech shocked everyone present.

Good guy! They have seen people who meddle in other people's affairs, but this is the first time they have seen such righteous meddling in other people's affairs!

But in fact, if you think about it carefully, Xiao Yan's meddling in other people's affairs is indeed righteous.

It is wrong to cheat people, let alone to use the incomplete fire to cheat the little girl of the fourth-grade pill formula. There is no place to find reason.

Xiao Yixian, who followed behind with Qinglin, became speechless when she heard Xiao Yan's words.

From this, even without Xiao Yan's explanation, Xiao Yixian could guess what was going on.

Xiao Yan, you are really a jerk.

Xiao Yixian nodded with a headache, then sighed lightly, looking at Xiao Yan's profile and showing a helpless smile.

There is no way, if he didn't see it, forget it. Since he saw it, if he didn't care, he would not be Xiao Yan.

After Xiao Yan's words, the stall owner gradually came back to his senses, his expression became a little ferocious, and he stared at Xiao Yan fiercely.

"So, you have to offend me for a stranger?"

"My original intention is not to offend you, let alone to destroy your business." Xiao Yan responded in a serious voice, looking at the peach blossom fire, "It's very simple, you just need to tell this lady the actual situation of the peach blossom fire clearly. If she is still willing to exchange, let alone the fourth-grade pill formula, even if it is exchanged with the fifth-grade or sixth-grade pill formula, it is her personal wish, and I will never stop her."

Xiao Yan's words were so serious that the stall owner was speechless, but he cursed Xiao Yan in his heart.

What a joke! If I really told this little girl the situation of the peach blossom fire clearly, she would be willing to exchange it with the fourth-grade pill formula! Not to mention the fifth-grade or sixth-grade, unless her brain was kicked by a donkey! ! !

The peach blossom fire is not worth the fourth-grade pill formula, and this is a broken peach blossom fire. Let alone selling it, I guess no one would want it if I gave it away!

These words kept echoing in the stall owner's mind.

But can he say it?

He can't.

In this matter, he was not right in the first place. It was true that Xiao Yan was meddling in other people's business, but Xiao Yan did nothing wrong. He was the one who cheated others. How could he have the face to scold Xiao Yan, a kind-hearted person who meddled in other people's business?

The stall owner glared at Xiao Yan fiercely. He knew what this peach blossom fire seed was like, so he naturally couldn't explain it.

If he wanted to fight, let's not talk about whether he could beat Xiao Yan. He was not right in the first place. If he fought, he would definitely not have a good result.

Immediately, the stall owner packed up all the things on his counter and left a sentence to Xiao Yan.

"Boy, I admit defeat today!"

After saying this, the stall owner left the market in disgrace. Xiao Yan looked at the stall owner's back and wanted to reach out to say something, but finally sighed helplessly.

It is naturally easy to stop people who deceive and cheat.

But it is very difficult to change people who deceive and cheat.

Looking at the face of the stall owner before he left, he did not think he had done anything wrong, and he would probably do the same thing in the future.

However, Xiao Yan really could not think of any way to change such people.

Just stopping the behavior but not changing their hearts seemed to be of some use, but not so useful.

Or maybe he was too arrogant and even wanted to change the hearts of such people.

Xiao Yan shook his head slightly.

His own righteous path was still far away.

"Thank you."

At this time, a cold voice came into Xiao Yan's ears. Xiao Yan slightly side-eyed and saw the silver-haired girl facing him with gratitude in her eyes.

In response, Xiao Yan just waved his hand lightly.

"No need to thank me, I just did it for myself."

That's right, Xiao Yan did it for himself. Even if the silver-haired girl wasn't the one who was going to be cheated today, he would still stand up.

He did this fundamentally just to stick to his own righteous path.

When she saw the silver-haired girl talking to Xiao Yan, Xiao Yixian's alarm suddenly sounded, and she immediately pulled Qing Lin to Xiao Yan's side, and seemed to be unintentionally close to Xiao Yan, showing that she and Xiao Yan were very intimate, and looked at Xiao Yan and asked.

"Xiao Yan, is the matter resolved?"

"It's resolved."

Xiao Yan scratched his face lightly, looking a little unhappy.

Although the silver-haired girl was prevented from being deceived, the stall owner obviously had no remorse, which was not a perfect solution in Xiao Yan's view.

It can only be said that the world is not too harsh on people like stall owners, which allows stall owners to get by in this way.

If everyone can stand up and despise people like stall owners in the future, and everyone can stand up to stop him when he cheats, then he should naturally not do this.

Sure enough, to change the world, we can only start from the big environment. As long as the environment does not change, no matter how much we say, it will be useless.

"Let's go. There shouldn't be anything to buy here."

Xiao Yan smiled at Xiao Yixian, and Xiao Yixian also breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, fortunately, there was no further in-depth communication.

Immediately, the three were about to leave, and the voice of the silver-haired girl suddenly sounded, which made Xiao Yixian's heart suddenly tighten.

"Well, if you don't mind, I can take you to another store, where there may be what you want."

"Hmm?" Xiao Yan turned slightly, looked at the silver-haired girl and raised his eyebrows in confusion, "Another store?"

"Hmm."

The silver-haired girl nodded and explained softly.

"This is just an ordinary trading market. In fact, the things bought and sold here can basically be found in the auction house. The other market is only for high-level alchemists certified by the alchemist. The things traded there are generally much rarer than here."

"Oh~Is that so." Xiao Yan nodded in understanding, and then frowned slightly, "But only high-level alchemists can enter. I am only a third-grade alchemist, so I shouldn't be qualified, right?"

In Xiao Yan's cognition, alchemists above the fourth grade are enough to be called high-level alchemists, but this is not just Xiao Yan's cognition, and almost everyone in the Jia Ma Empire thinks so.

Of course, this cognition was naturally sneered by Yao Chen, who had seen the world.

Puff~A fourth-grade alchemist can be called a high-level alchemist?

Sure enough, a small place is still a small place after all. Not to mention the fourth grade, even if the Dan King Gu He was placed in the Dan Tower in Zhongzhou, he would at most be an apprentice with little talent.

When the silver-haired girl heard Xiao Yan's words, her pupils suddenly shook.

A third-grade alchemist? So young? ? ?

The silver-haired girl couldn't help but look at Xiao Yan's face.

He looks about the same age as me? I just passed the second-grade alchemist exam not long ago, and he is already a third-grade one?

After a long while, the silver-haired girl gradually came back to her senses, and a little unwillingness could not help but show in her eyes.

This is also human nature. When you meet someone who is about the same age as you, but is far superior to you in the field you specialize in, how can you not feel unwilling?

Of course, it's just unwillingness, the silver-haired girl hasn't risen to jealousy.

After calming down, the silver-haired girl patiently explained.

"My teacher is there, I can take you in in his name, just as a reward for your help just now."

"This"

Xiao Yan was slightly stunned, and was about to refuse habitually, and then remembered what happened to Xiao Yixian just now, and there might be something he needed there. After a while, he nodded slightly and looked at the silver-haired girl and said solemnly.

"Okay, I'll trouble you then."

"You're welcome, it's just a piece of cake." The silver-haired girl smiled slightly and stretched out her hand to Xiao Yan, "My name is Xue Mei."

"Xiao Yan."

Xiao Yan stretched out his hand and shook it, but it was just a light touch, which was Xiao Yan's most basic courtesy.

Seeing Xiao Yan and Xue Mei introduce themselves to each other, Xiao Yixian was almost furious!

Another one!

Another! One! One!

Of course, now the two of them seem to have just met each other, and it seems that they will only be friends if they continue to develop like this.

But Xiao Yixian's heart is still flickering with deep uneasiness. Didn't she just treat Xiao Yan as a friend at the beginning?

But Xiao Yixian couldn't stop Xiao Yan at this time. After all, Xiao Yan really just wanted to use Xue Mei's identity to go to the high-level alchemist's store, and she couldn't stop him with something that hadn't happened yet.

"This is Xiao Yixian, and this is Qinglin."

While Xiao Yixian was thinking, Xiao Yan turned sideways and introduced Xiao Yixian and Qinglin to Xue Mei. Qinglin politely nodded and greeted her. Xiao Yixian also came back to her senses. Although she was very unhappy, she still smiled and nodded to Xue Mei.

After all, no matter what, she couldn't embarrass Xiao Yan because of her emotions.

"Hello, nice to meet you."

"Hello." Xue Mei nodded in response, and then her eyes swung back and forth between Xiao Yan and the other two, and asked with a puzzled look: "Excuse me, are you two a couple?"

? ? ? ? ?

Xue Mei's words made Xiao Yan suddenly stagnate, and Xiao Yixian's heart was immediately happy.

"Really~ In your opinion, we are in this kind of relationship~"

Xiao Yixian didn't explain, but smiled softly with her hands covering her mouth, and her favorability towards Xue Mei soared immediately.

This girl is quite good at talking~ She's also very cute if you look closely.

Xiao Yixian didn't rush to explain, but Xiao Yan hurriedly explained in a panic.

"No, no! Please don't misunderstand! Xiao Yixian and I are just simple friends, and I was entrusted by an old friend to take care of her."

Indeed, Xiao Yan was so anxious to explain not for himself, but for Xiao Yixian.

You said that if a pure and innocent girl was rumored to have a relationship with him, wouldn't it have a great impact on Xiao Yixian's reputation?

But Xiao Yan's panicked explanation sounded very wrong to Xiao Yixian.

What? Is it so embarrassing for you to be mistaken for a couple?

Of course, Xiao Yixian knew Xiao Yan well, so Xiao Yan definitely didn't think so, but this anxious explanation still made her feel resentful. She stretched out her hand and twisted Xiao Yan's waist, causing Xiao Yan to cover his waist in pain, looking at Xiao Yixian with deep doubt in his eyes.

"Xiao Yixian, what's wrong?"

"Humph! You want to go!"

Xiao Yixian crossed her arms, curled her lips slightly, and looked unhappy.

Xue Mei looked at the two people in front of her, nodded thoughtfully, and there was a little realization in her eyes.

It's not that Xue Mei is so smart about emotional matters. What is the relationship between Xiao Yixian and Xiao Yan? Even people who meet for the first time can understand it with just a glance.

Recalling Xiao Yan's meddling just now and what he said, Xue Mei clenched her fist and smiled softly, and her cold face looked very beautiful.

She also roughly guessed what kind of person Xiao Yan was. To be honest, such people are really rare in this world. At least Xue Mei has not seen anyone with a similar personality to Xiao Yan so far.

This made her slightly interested in Xiao Yan, really just a little bit.

"Let's go. If we go too late, some of the things you want may have been bought by others."

Xue Mei said this and led Xiao Yan and the other two to the end of the market. Xiao Yan and Xiao Yixian also followed, each holding Qing Lin's hand.

On the way, Xue Mei slightly turned her face and looked at the three people following behind her, with a strange look in her eyes.

Although she already knew that they were not that kind of relationship, to outsiders, they really looked like a family of three.
