Chapter 267 Xiao Yan is here!

"Alright, if that's the case, then Brother Lin Fan, please do me the honor of drinking to our hearts' content tonight!"

Xiao Li patted his chest and said excitedly.

Lin Fan did not refuse, and the three of them drank and became completely drunk.

It wasn't until late at night that Lin Fan, supported by Qing Lin, finally returned to his room.

Lin Fan deliberately didn't use his fighting spirit to force out the alcohol, and was in a slightly tipsy state.

"Young Master Lin Fan, please rest for a bit. I'll go fetch some water!"

Qinglin carefully helped Lin Fan onto the bed, and soon came in carrying a wooden basin. She carefully wiped Lin Fan's face with a towel, and then took off Lin Fan's shoes, wanting to wash his feet.

However, Qinglin's body suddenly stopped, because Lin Fan grabbed her wrist tightly and pulled her into his arms.

"Young Master Lin Fan, what are you doing..."

Qinglin's pretty face flushed red, and her heart pounded like a deer's.

"I told you not to call me Young Master, why are you so disobedient? Call me Brother Lin Fan!"

Lin Fan brought his mouth close to Qing Lin's ear and said drunkenly.

"Brother Lin Fan..."

Qinglin gently bit her lip, her voice soft and pleasant, especially the last two words, "brother," which made Lin Fan's legs go weak and his other leg stiff.

"Let me wash your feet, otherwise the water will get cold..."

Qinglin struggled slightly, trying to break free from Lin Fan's embrace.

"After you wash my feet, can you also warm my blankets? It's too cold for me to sleep alone."

Lin Fan grinned slyly.

"This...this won't work!"

Qinglin's face turned as red as a sunset, and she even started to stammer when she spoke.

"Silly girl, alright, I won't tease you anymore!"

Lin Fan affectionately patted Qing Lin's head, then let go of her.

"I'm keeping you by my side not because I want to treat you like a servant. We can be friends or even have a closer relationship!"

"We are equals, you know? Never underestimate yourself."

Lin Fan stared into Qing Lin's eyes and said, word by word.

Qinglin was stunned. She had always thought that being able to serve Lin Fan was her greatest happiness and had never asked for more!
But Lin Fan never treated her like a maid, but as an equal friend, which deeply moved Qing Lin!
"I understand, Brother Lin Fan!"

At this moment, all of Qinglin's timidity and lack of confidence vanished. She clenched her small fists and gave Lin Fan a charming smile.

"Alright, you must be tired today, go and get some rest."

After Qinglin left, Lin Fan drifted off to sleep and, thanks to the alcohol, slept very soundly.

"Haha, Little Yanzi, what brings you here!"

"Big brother, second brother, it's been a long time!"

In a daze, Lin Fan heard a noisy conversation outside. When he opened his eyes, he found that it was already broad daylight.

Lin Fan got up, shook his slightly dizzy head, opened the door, and went out.

"Come, let me introduce you. This is Brother Lin Fan. Thanks to the pills he gave us, your second brother and I have been able to greatly improve our strength!"

"This is my third brother, Xiao Yan. He's here to train near Shimo City. You can just call him Xiao Yanzi."

Upon seeing Lin Fan emerge, Xiao Ding warmly introduced the two parties.

"Xiao Yan?!"

Lin Fan raised an eyebrow, secretly delighted!

As expected, Xiao Yan actually showed up!
"Hello, I thank you on behalf of my elder brothers!" Xiao Yan looked Lin Fan up and down, then stepped forward, clasped his hands in thanks, and said.

"It doesn't matter, it's a trivial matter."

"You three brothers must have a lot to talk about, so I won't disturb you any longer."

Lin Fan smiled slightly, greeted them, and then walked towards Qing Lin's room in the distance.

"Xiao Yan, that guy is extremely strong, you need to be careful."

After Lin Fan had walked away, Yao Lao's voice echoed in Xiao Yan's mind.

"Oh? To be able to make even the teacher feel wary, just who is this guy?!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan frowned, becoming somewhat wary.

"Little Yanzi, you've come all this way to Stone Desert City, it's not just for training, is it?!"

At the dinner table, Xiao Li, who was always straightforward, was the first to ask a question.

"Hehe, nothing can be hidden from Second Brother. I came here to find something."

Xiao Yan picked up his wine cup and drank it down in one gulp, then spoke.

"Oh? That's quite a coincidence. Brother Lin Fan said yesterday that he came here to look for something as well."

Xiao Li's casual remark made Xiao Yan frown!
"Teacher, could that guy also be here looking for a strange fire?!"

Xiao Yan asked in his heart.

"This is highly likely, this is getting a bit troublesome..."

The old doctor's voice was filled with solemnity.

Here, the yellow sand swirls everywhere; besides the strange fire, I can't think of anything more attractive!
"Damn it, no one can stop me from obtaining the Strange Flame! Teacher, if we were to fight, are you confident you could defeat him?!"

Xiao Yan clenched his fists, his face extremely gloomy.

He traveled a long way to get here, not only for training but also because the old doctor sensed the aura of the strange fire. Devouring the strange fire was a prerequisite for the evolution of his cultivation technique, so he absolutely could not give it up to someone else!

"I don't know, but even if I could defeat him, it would probably be a Pyrrhic victory. If my soul falls into a deep sleep, even if you obtain the strange fire, the chances of failing to devour it will become very high."

"It's medicine," the old doctor said.

"Xiao Yanzi, what's wrong?!"

Seeing Xiao Yan's ever-changing expression, the perceptive Xiao Ding immediately sensed something was wrong and asked.

"Big brother, did Lin Fan say what he came here for? And why did he give you all the pills?!"

Xiao Yan snapped out of his daze and hurriedly asked.

"He didn't say that the matter of the pills was because of Qing Lin..."

Xiao Ding recounted everything that had happened to Xiao Yan.

"Brother, do not resist my soul power!"

Xiao Yan didn't have time to explain further. He placed his fingers on Xiao Ding's pulse, and then a wisp of Yao Lao's soul power entered it.

"There is nothing unusual. Judging from the remaining medicinal power in your elder brother's body, he should have taken a fourth-grade pill."

A moment later, Yao Lao's voice rang in Xiao Yan's mind.

"A fourth-grade elixir?!"

Lin Fan was shocked to hear this. This level of pill was already extremely precious, yet the other party was giving it away so casually. This could only mean one thing: Lin Fan didn't care about this pill at all!

Xiao Yan then examined Xiao Li's body in the same way, and the result was the same as with Xiao Ding: there was nothing abnormal!
"Judging from this, that guy is very likely also an alchemist, and at least a fourth-grade one. That makes it even more likely that he came here to obtain the strange fire!"

The old doctor's voice became even more solemn.
