Chapter 86 The Xiao Family’s Trouble, Xiao Yan Takes Action
Wu Tan City, Xiao Family.

Since the coming-of-age ceremony, the Xiao family has been the most famous family in Wutan City. A powerful Dou Wang came to the Xiao family in person to attend the Xiao family's coming-of-age ceremony, which made the Xiao family's reputation soar to the sky.

Although anyone with a discerning eye could see that Yang Chen's relationship with the Xiao family was not very good, especially with the head of the Xiao family, Xiao Zhan, it could be said that he never looked at him straight in the eye.

But this was a Dou Wang powerhouse, also said to be a high-level alchemist. Who dared to speculate on his thoughts? Aren't you afraid of being slapped to death?
However, there is a saying in the world that fortune changes.

Less than a month had passed since the Xiao family became famous, and the Jialie family in Wutan City had unexpectedly hired an alchemist from nowhere to make pills for the Jialie family, allowing the Jialie family to almost monopolize the healing medicine business in the entire Wutan City.

Because Wutan City is adjacent to the Warcraft Mountains, there are many mercenaries in the city. Although there are not many large mercenary groups, in fact, several major families in Wutan City have their own mercenary groups, so the demand for healing herbs is extremely high.

The Jialie family, which almost monopolized the healing medicine business in Wutan City, made a lot of money for a while, and even overshadowed the Xiao family.

After all, although the Xiao family has a relationship with a Dou Wang strongman, the Dou Wang strongman is not from the Xiao family and will not help the Xiao family to refine medicine. However, the alchemist invited by the Jialie family can actually help the Jialie family make money.

Xiao family, in the meeting hall.

Xiao Zhan was sitting in the first seat with a worried look on his face. Below him, the three elders of the Xiao family and some high-ranking deacons also had unhappy expressions on their faces.

The second elder, Xiao Ying, hesitated for a moment, glanced at Xiao Zhan who was sitting above, and spoke first to break the silence in the hall.

"Xiao Zhan, you are the head of our Xiao family. Now that our family is in trouble, as the head of the family, you should step forward to help the family solve its problems."

"Master Yang is Xiao Yan's uncle after all, so there's no need for you to ask him to help our Xiao family refine medicine. Just ask him to introduce one or two alchemists, and our Xiao family's problems will be solved."

As soon as the Second Elder Xiao Ying finished speaking, there were many responses in the hall. The First Elder, the Third Elder, and many deacons all nodded in approval of the Second Elder Xiao Ying's suggestion.

In the eyes of everyone in the Xiao family, this kind of thing should not be too difficult. After all, Xiao Yan is also a member of their Xiao family. No matter what Yang Chen thinks of Xiao Zhan, at least he cares about his nephew Xiao Yan.

But when Xiao Zhan heard this, he sighed, shook his head, and rejected the proposal of the second elder Xiao Ying.

"That person has a lot of grievances against me. If I intervene, it will only backfire. It's best to let Yan'er speak. For Yan'er's sake, he might help the Xiao family."

On the path leading to the meeting hall, Yao Chen, who was hiding in the storage ring, shook his head with a strange expression. He finally understood why Yang Chen looked down on his brother-in-law Xiao Zhan.

As the head of the family, he has no sense of responsibility when encountering things. He always wants to hide behind and let his son take charge.

In fact, Yao Chen could guess what Xiao Zhan was thinking. He simply felt that Yang Chen disliked him. If he approached Yang Chen to ask for help, when they met, Yang Chen would deliberately make things difficult for him because he had a grudge against him, and might even take advantage of the Xiao family's misfortune.

But I have to say that this idea is stupid and irresponsible. Since Yang Chen has no problem with Xiao Yan, even if he dislikes Xiao Zhan, he would not deliberately target the Xiao family.

In the final analysis, Xiao Zhan was afraid of being bullied and embarrassed, so he simply avoided it and wanted Xiao Yan to step in.

However, Yao Lao hesitated for a moment and ultimately did not tell Xiao Yan these words. Xiao Yan, who knew nothing about this, quickly walked to the front of the hall, knocked on the door, and then pushed it open and walked in.

"The Third Young Master is here?"

"Xiao Yan is here?" After seeing Xiao Yan walk in, all the core senior executives of the Xiao family showed some smiles on their faces. Now, Xiao Yan is the treasure of the Xiao family. Not only is he extremely talented, he is also the biggest backer of the Xiao family.

"Father, elders, I heard that the Jialie family seems to have hired an alchemist recently, is that correct?"

After Xiao Yan responded with a smile, he took the initiative to sit aside. After looking around, he spoke directly to the point. Xiao Zhan nodded slightly and spoke.

"Yes, recently, our family's medicinal material business in the market has plummeted. All of it has been snatched away by the Jialie family. Yan'er, can you find your uncle and ask him to help contact one or two alchemists? Our Xiao family can give them a high share of the profits. As long as we can take back the market business, it will be fine."

The prices of medicinal materials are similar. Although the elixirs of the Jialie family cannot meet the market demand of Wutan City, they can use the elixirs to attract all the customers. Without people coming to the Xiao family market, the profit will naturally be not much.

However, what Xiao Zhan did not expect was that Xiao Yan simply shook his head.

Under the puzzled gazes of everyone in the Xiao family, Xiao Yan smiled gently, raised his palm and opened it slightly, and with a "puff" sound, a ball of purple flame rose from his palm.

"Father, elders, I actually happened to become a disciple of a mysterious alchemist. I'm now a first-class alchemist, so I don't need to ask my uncle for help. I can make medicine. However, I need the family to provide me with enough medicinal materials."

"what?"

"Alchemist?"

"Xiao Yan, are you serious?"

For a moment, the originally quiet meeting hall suddenly turned into a vegetable market, extremely noisy.

Several elders and deacons of the Xiao family couldn't believe it. Their Xiao family actually produced an alchemist? God truly blessed the Xiao family!

"Yan'er, are you serious?"

Xiao Zhan said this with some excitement, even with tears in his eyes, he seemed very excited.

"Everything I said is true. Father should still remember the medicine cauldron that my uncle gave me during my coming-of-age ceremony, right?"

Xiao Yan directly moved Yang Chen out, which instantly made everyone in the Xiao family feel relieved. They all smiled with relief.

"Okay, okay! Okay! Yan'er, don't worry. The family will fully support you. Just ask for any herbs you need."

Xiao Zhan immediately waved his hand and said in a rather heroic tone, then turned to look at the three elders of the Xiao family and said with a smile.

"First Elder, Second Elder, Third Elder, there shouldn't be any problem with this, right?"

"Don't worry, Patriarch. If the Third Young Master needs any medicinal herbs, just let us know. We will definitely satisfy him."
