Chen Yang's sudden interjection caused Clan Leader Xiao at the head of the table to pause slightly, followed by a flash of joy on his Face.
'It seems this young Alchemist has a good impression of Yaner!'
'I hope he has a way to solve Yaner's problem.'
Meanwhile, Xiao Yan looked towards Xun'er. Before sitting down earlier, she had asked him to sit with her, but this young man, whom even his father treated with great respect, seemed to be a more fitting choice for him at the moment.
Seeing Xiao Yan looking at her, Xun'er nodded gently, signaling for Xiao Yan to go to Chen Yang's side.
At the same time, she also looked at Chen Yang with curiosity. This youth was already a Nine-Star Great Dou Shi at such a young age, and his state was very much at Perfection; once the timing was right, he would be able to Breakthrough to the Dou Ling Rank.
A Dou Ling of eighteen or nineteen years old was naturally nothing in the Ancient Clan, but in other parts of the continent, he would definitely be considered a Genius.
Moreover, his main profession was actually an Alchemist.
Seeing Xun'er nod, Xiao Yan reached out and rubbed his nose, walked over to Chen Yang, respectfully called out "Great Master," and then sat down beside Chen Yang.
"Kid, hold out your hand!"
Chen Yang ignored the gazes of the others present and said to him in a deep voice.
"Sorry for the trouble, Great Master!"
Xiao Yan hurriedly raised his right hand and placed it on the coffee table between them.
Chen Yang raised his hand, placed it on Xiao Yan's pulse, and infused a strand of gentle Dou Qi into Xiao Yan's body, while simultaneously using his Soul Power to observe.
Up above, although Clan Leader Xiao was chatting aimlessly with Ge Ye, his gaze could not help but sweep towards this side.
Throughout the hall, those who knew the inside story, such as Clan Leader Xiao, Xun'er, and Ya Fei, were all somewhat anxious in their hearts; they were concerned about whether Xiao Yan's problem could be solved.
As for the others who were unaware, such as the three from the Cloud Mist Sect and the rest of the Xiao Family, they were all looking at Chen Yang and Xiao Yan with curiosity.
From the attitude Clan Leader Xiao had shown towards Chen Yang just now, they could vaguely guess that Chen Yang's identity was not simple, but as for what that specific identity was, Clan Leader Xiao hadn't said, and they hadn't asked.
On Chen Yang's side, he kept his eyes tightly closed, feeling the circulation of his Dou Qi within Xiao Yan's body. Nearly twenty-five minutes passed before Chen Yang finally discovered the situation where his strand of Dou Qi disappeared.
Moreover, his keen Soul Power could basically pinpoint that the Dou Qi finally disappeared from the position of Xiao Yan's left hand.
Of course, with the Soul Power of a Third-Grade Alchemist like Chen Yang, if he were simply searching, he definitely would not have been able to discover the location where Xiao Yan's Dou Qi disappeared, but if one were searching for the cause while already knowing the answer, it would naturally be much simpler.
But even so, it took Chen Yang nearly half an hour to discover the clues.
At this moment, Xiao Yan's mood was incomparably anxious. He looked at Chen Yang, who had his eyes tightly closed, then saw Xun'er, who smiled at him, and Clan Leader Xiao above, whose eyes revealed concern, and a trace of guilt flashed through his heart.
'Even if this Alchemist Great Master can solve my problem, I'm afraid Father will have to pay a considerable price, right?' A bitter smile curled the corner of Xiao Yan's mouth, but he saw that Chen Yang had already opened his eyes.
"I..." Xiao Yan looked at Chen Yang, just about to ask about his problem, when he noticed the elderly man from the Cloud Mist Sect, dressed in a moon-white robe, slowly stand up. He cupped his hands towards his father and said: "Clan Leader Xiao, my main purpose for coming to your esteemed Family this time is to make a request!"
Chen Yang turned his head to look and realized that the main event had begun. He casually patted Xiao Yan's wrist and nodded at him.
Xiao Yan paused slightly. He was not a fool; if Chen Yang nodded, did that not mean his problem could be solved???
The youth's heart was suddenly filled with wild joy, but he was also afraid of it being a false hope, making his mood even more anxious than when he didn't know the result just a moment ago.
What people fear most is falling into despair after having hope.
But Chen Yang paid no more attention to Xiao Yan. At this moment, he had transformed into a qualified spectator, earnestly watching the drama unfold.
