"Meng Yao? Who is she?" Xia Tian felt like he didn't know her.
Liu Ying took a deep breath, she then walked out, as she said. "She is my former Master, so I will accompany you to meet her, Tian. I expected her to come to recruit you, even more so after seeing your strength earlier."
"Oh? That woman from the Vermilion Imperial Sect?" Xia Tian followed his mother, but Qiao Xiao also followed them. "Why are you also coming, Qiao'er?"
"Hehe, I was just curious about the person who taught your mother alchemy before." She replied as she giggled, Xia Tian shook his head helplessly.
When the three of them arrived at the main hall, Fang Fang and Lin Yan immediately greeted them simultaneously. "Aunt Ying, Brother Tian!"
"En, it is good that the two of you are accepted into the Vermilion Imperial Sect, as it is not easy to join there." Liu Ying said to them, while Xia Tian just nodded. Liu Ying then looked at Meng Yao with mixed feelings, because back then she had run away with Xia Tian's father. "We haven't seen each other in a long time, Elder Meng."
"You seem happier than ever, Ying'er. You even have a son this big." Meng Yao replied as she glanced at Xia Tian, then she continued. "You know why I came here, don't you?"
"I know, but the decision is up to Tian." Liu Ying knew Meng Yao's temper, so she purposely threw her question at Xia Tian.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMeng Yao nodded in understanding, then she looked at Xia Tian, and asked bluntly. "Xia Tian, right? Do you want to join the Vermilion Imperial Sect?"
But unexpectedly, Xia Tian's answer left her dumbfounded. "Unfortunately, I have to decline your invitation, as I have decided to join the Star Moon Sect."
"What? With your talent why did you choose such a weak sect? By joining the Vermilion Imperial Sect, then you can develop faster, Xia Tian." Meng Yao was unwilling to give up on her intentions, because she thought that Xia Tian was a very rare talent.
Xia Tian laughed softly at Meng Yao's words. "It's not a matter of being weak or not, but the Star Moon Sect has divisions that are not in your sect, they have the Forging Hall and the Formation Array Hall. As for alchemy, I already have my own master."
"Master in alchemy? Who is your master? In this southern continent, there is no one better than me." Meng Yao arrogantly spoke, causing Qiao Xiao who was sitting on Xia Tian's lap to chuckle. Meng Yao raised an eyebrow, and asked with a frown. "Are you laughing at me, little girl?"
"Yes! I did laugh at you, as an alchemist you are too arrogant, that's why you are still stuck in Heaven Rank." Qiao Xiao casually replied while laughing at her, because she had asked Liu Ying before about the alchemy technique she learned in the past, and the technique was too flawed.
"Elder Meng, you asked about my alchemy master, and now she has answered you." Xia Tian said as he patted Qiao Xiao's head. "Not only is she my master, but this little girl is also my mother's Master."
Meng Yao's eyes widened in disbelief, she felt that Xia Tian was playing a prank on her, so she sneered. "Her? You two are this little girl's disciple?"
"It's up to you to believe it or not, but I have decided to join the Star Moon Sect, and I will not change my mind." Xia Tian felt very lazy to argue with an arrogant woman like Meng Yao.
"Prove to me that this girl is more skilled in alchemy than I am!" Meng Yao was still being haughty because she felt belittled by them.
Qiao Xiao raised her eyebrows and smiled mysteriously, she then took out a pill bottle, and threw it at Meng Yao. "This is a pill I made myself, if you can guess all the ingredients I used in the pill, and if you can explain the effect of the pill, then I am willing to admit defeat to you."
Meng Yao who felt belittled immediately opened the bottle cap, and she was shocked when she saw the yellow beast shaped pill, although it was weird in shape, it was clear that the pill in her hand is a superior grade pill.
Xia Tian laughed bitterly after seeing the pill, of course he knew the pill, because he could also make it. He then whispered to her. 'I didn't expect that you still kept the pill, Xiao'er. Don't tell me you've managed to reverse the effect?'
'Of course! Who do you think I am? I've managed to reverse the effect a long time ago, you know.' Qiao Xiao said with a proud look on her face.
'Then why is your body still like this?' Xia Tian asked with a raised eyebrow.
Qiao Xiao chuckled as she whispered with a flirtatious smile. 'Isn't the pleasure much better if you dual cultivate with a loli?'
Her words left Xia Tian completely dumbfounded, in his mind Alice was laughing heartily, and teasing him. [Hehe, you even enjoy dual cultivating with her, Master.]
'Shut up, Alice!' Even though he did like it, he still hoped that Qiao Xiao would soon transform herself back into her adult form.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter observing Qiao Xiao's pills for a long time, Meng Yao still couldn't recognize a single herb Qiao Xiao used for the pills, it made her heart and mind filled with many questions.
Qiao Xiao smiled mischievously seeing her gloomy expression, then said to Meng Yao. "How? Have you been able to identify the herbs?"
"What exactly is this pill? I can't recognize all the herbs in this pill at all." Meng Yao sadly said.
"Humph! You can't even recognize herbs, but you dare to brag about your alchemist status in front of me." Qiao Xiao sneered harshly at him.
"I-" Meng Yao was was unable to refute her words.
"Why don't you just swallow the pill? That way you'll understand the effects of the pill." Xia Tian was dumbfounded when Qiao Xiao said that.
'Ouch! Her mischievous nature relapses, Meng Yao will definitely suffer if she really swallows that pill.' Xia Tian sympathized with Meng Yao in his heart.
[Haha, I can't wait to see Meng Yao's expression later, she will definitely be in shock.] Alice said as she burst out laughing.
Xia Tian shook his head at that. 'Dang! You really look like Xiao'er, Alice.'
"Can I really swallow it?" Meng Yao asked in surprise, because the pill in her hand was a superior grade pill.
