After these days of interaction, the relationship between her and Xiao Xue was becoming more
and more familiar.
And because of Xiao Xue's unique gentleness towards her, Qing Lin was extremely willing to serve
her like this.
Furthermore, back in the mercenary group, even though Xiao Xue had refused multiple times, Qing
Lin had insisted on taking care of Xiao Xue's daily life as repayment.
Xiao Xue couldn't win against her stubbornness and finally had no choice but to agree.
Although Xiao Xue didn't need anyone to wait on her, if doing so could make Qing Lin feel more at
peace, then there was no harm in indulging her.
She used the Power of Water to quickly wash up, then sat down before the dressing table as Qing Lin stood behind her to comb her hair.
"As long as Teacher is willing, Qing Lin is willing to stay by Teacher's side forever," Qing Lin said
softly while helping Xiao Xue comb her hair.
"Haha, I'd like that, but I will only stay in the Xiao Family for a few days at most." Xiao Xue shook
her head slightly.
"In a few days, I will leave the Xiao Family again to go out and temper myself."
"After all, a gentle land is a hero's grave."
Qing Lin's hand combing Xiao Xue's hair paused slightly before returning to normal. "Where is
Teacher going? Can you take Qing Lin with you?"
"No, the place Teacher is going is still a bit too dangerous for the current you," Xiao Xue refused
directly.
"You stay in the Xiao Family and Cultivate well with your Senior Sister Xiao Yi Xian, understood?"
Hearing this, a flash of disappointment crossed Qing Lin's lowered green eyes, but a moment later,
she hurriedly forced a smile.
"Alright, Teacher, let's go. Perhaps Senior Sister Xiao Yi Xian is already impatient by now."
After speaking, Qing Lin quickly helped Xiao Xue tie up her hair and then stood obediently to the side.
Xiao Xue took in all of Qing Lin's expressions and "small movements," letting out a soft sigh at the
sight.
"Qing Lin," Xiao Xue took Qing Lin's hand, "remember, Teacher is always here."
"If anything happens, contact me directly through the communication jade token. No matter where
you are, Teacher will come to find you."
Looking at Xiao Xue's serious expression, Qing Lin's nose felt a bit sour.
That's right, Teacher is always here.
"Mhm, I understand, Teacher."
"No matter what happens in the future, Teacher is Teacher, and will always be Qing Lin's teacher."
Xiao Xue smiled and rubbed her head, leading Qing Lin out the door.
Then, Xiao Xue greeted Xiao Yi Xian at the door, "Good morning, Xian'er."
"Teacher." Xiao Yi Xian stepped forward and gave a salute to Xiao Xue.
Xiao Xue nodded and asked, "Are you confident?"
Xiao Yi Xian nodded firmly. "Absolutely no problem!"
"Good, very spirited!" Xiao Xue waved her hand. "Let's go, to the Alchemist Guild!"
The Alchemist Guild in the Emperor City wasn't far from the Xiao Residence. Half an hour later, the
trio of Xiao Xue, Xiao Yi Xian, and Qing Lin arrived at the Alchemist Guild.
Bringing this girl Qing Lin along was also to let her relax and see the world a bit.
At the Alchemist Guild, Xiao Xue personally presided over the assessment for Xiao Yi Xian.
Xiao Xue was already a Fifth-Grade Alchemist, a higher Rank than the vice-president, so no one
said anything against her doing so.
Half an hour later, Xiao Yi Xian successfully refined a second-grade pill using Purple Fire and
passed the Second-Grade Alchemist assessment.
Then, she gave that second-grade pill to Qing Lin as a meeting gift.
Qing Lin was moved to tears by Xiao Yi Xian, and it took Xiao Xue and Xiao Yi Xian a long time to soothe her.
Qing Lin also realized that since both her teacher and Senior Sister were Alchemists, she was now
one of those wicked rich people too.
Why do I hate rich people? Because I'm not one.
Before, Qing Lin had deeply resented those cold banknotes.
Now? The more of that coldness, the better.
Afterward, Xiao Xue went to find Fa Ma, the president of the Alchemist Guild, and asked him to
pass a message to Jia Xingtian.
When she reached the sixth grade, she could refine a Mixed Yuan Bone-Molding Pill for the Royal Family for free.
The so-called 'free' meant the Royal Family provided the ingredients and she provided the labor,
without charging extra fees.
However, for the Jiama Royal Family, this was an irresistible price.
The Mixed Yuan Bone-Molding Pill was a Medicinal Pill specifically used to treat old injuries of
Demonic Beasts, restore strength, and remove hidden wounds.
At the same time, it was exactly the pill urgently needed by the Jiama Royal Family's Rank 6
Nether Sea Flood Dragon Beast.
In the entire Jia Ma Empire, Gu He was the only one who could refine sixth-grade pills.
And Gu He was an Elder of the Cloud Mist Sect; naturally, it was impossible for him to refine pills
for the Royal Family to restore the strength of the Nether Sea Flood Dragon Beast.
Thus, this move of Xiao Xue's had the Jiama Royal Family firmly in her grasp.
As for how Xiao Xue knew about the Jiama Royal Family's guardian Demonic Beast, Fa Ma didn't
ask much, only stating he would pass the message to Jia Xingtian.
Speaking with smart people is truly convenient.
Anyway, as long as she dangled this carrot before Jia Xingtian and the others, the Jiama Royal
Family and the Alchemist Guild would work hard to support the development of the Xiao Family.
Hai Bodong was already tied down by a sixth-grade pill; his Mittel Family would eventually be
surnamed Xiao.
Now the Jiama Royal Family was also being led by the nose by a sixth-grade pill, and Xiao Xue
had gained significant influence within the Alchemist Guild.
She believed it wouldn't be long before this Jia Ma Empire became her Xiao Family's.
Having settled things here, Xiao Xue took Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin back to the Xiao Residence.
After the three returned to the Xiao Residence, Xiao Xue let Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin go back first,
while she went alone to find her Cheap older brother.
Bone Chilling Flame, hand it over.
On the other side, in Xiao Xue's small courtyard, Xiao Xun Er sat waiting.
She had originally thought Xiao Xue would be tired from the journey, so she hadn't come to disturb
her this morning.
As it turned out, Xiao Xue had been whisked away by her two Disciples early in the morning.
By the time Xiao Xun Er found out, it was already too late, and she felt embarrassed to chase after
them, so she could only wait here for Xiao Xue to return.
Consequently, after an unknown amount of time, Ling Ying appeared by Xiao Xun Er's side. "Young
Miss, Miss Xiao Xue has gone to find Young Master Xiao Yan."
Xiao Xun Er: "..."
