NOVEL NEXT Chapter 7.2: Senior Yao
The ethereal woman sighed deeply, taking without asking is stealing, and she had been constantly stealing Xiao Yan’s Dou Qi over the past three years. Xiao Yan had every right to demand an explanation from her, even to be angry at her.
But Xiao Yan did not do either of those, which was one of the reasons why the ethereal woman felt even more guilty.
On the other hand, the ethereal woman was also more willing to put his future in Xiao Yan’s hand!
“I’m not interested in playing guessing games anymore.” The ethereal woman said softly, and then her expression turned serious as she looked at Xiao Yan and said, “Xiao Yan, I can help you regain your strength back in no time, but in return, I hope you can agree to a condition of mine.”
Upon hearing the ethereal woman’s words, Xiao Yan’s heart couldn’t help but be excited.
He wanted to promote his own righteous ideology, and the main foundation that is required to do that was strength!
In this world, no matter what you want to do, having sufficient strength was essential!
“Please, senior, speak of your condition!”
“You need to learn alchemy from me.”
!!!
As soon as the ethereal woman’s words fell, Xiao Yan’s heart suddenly shook.
This senior is an Alchemist!
That’s the most prestigious profession in the Douqi Continent!
“Senior, are you an alchemist?!”
“That’s right~ as for which rank… Well, it’s been too long and I’ve forgotten about it.” The ethereal woman shrugged and continued, “Anyway, as long as you promise to learn alchemy from me, I will definitely help you regain your strength and even assist you on your future cultivation path.”
“Would you be willing?”
The ethereal woman’s question was completely unnecessary.
Who would refuse an alchemist who personally chased after you to teach you alchemy?
Unless that person’s brain was malfunctioning, no one would!
Immediately, Xiao Yan kneeled on one knee and respectfully saluted the ethereal woman.
“This disciple pays respect to teacher!”
“Hmm~ very good.” Seeing Xiao Yan’s decisiveness, the ethereal woman nodded in satisfaction, but then showed a bit of dissatisfaction on her face. “But don’t call me teacher, it sounds like I’m very old.”
Although she was indeed not young, the ethereal woman couldn’t stand any words related to aging being associated with herself, even the respectful term “Teacher.”
And this made Xiao Yan a little embarrassed.
If not “Teacher,” then what should he call her?
The ethereal woman also noticed Xiao Yan’s confusion and took the initiative to speak.
“My surname is Yao and my single name is Chen. You can call me Sister Chen, which sounds younger, and I’m not too concerned about those respectful titles.”
“This…” Xiao Yan hesitated for a moment, then asked uneasily, “Isn’t this too disrespectful?”
“Stop! If you want to learn alchemy from me, you have to follow my rules!” Yao Chen interrupted Xiao Yan. Although she really appreciated Xiao Yan’s respect for teachers and emphasis on principles and formalities, it was really annoying in some situations.
After thinking for a moment, Xiao Yan asked.
“For my future teacher, Xiao Yan really cannot use such disrespectful titles. Can I respectfully call you Senior Yao?”
“Well… fine, at least there’s no ‘old’ in it.”
After thinking for a moment, Yao Chen nodded slightly, agreeing to Xiao Yan’s respectful title.
After all, with Xiao Yan’s personality, this was already his final concession on this matter.
