……
As soon as he stepped out of the guild's hall, dozens of alchemists and other distinguished figures from various local powers were already waiting. Upon seeing Xiao Xuanyuan, and as someone in the crowd recognized him and called out a few times, everyone immediately gathered around him.
Some people extended invitations, some offered words of invitation, and some offered congratulations... The hall was in complete chaos.
At this moment, Frank and his two companions also came out from behind. After seeing the scene before them, they shouted to disperse the crowd surrounding Xiao Xuanyuan.
"What are you doing? This is the Alchemist Guild. Look at the state you've all become! Scatter, scatter..." With their status, the three of them were all people of great influence in Blackrock City. With them stepping forward, everyone involuntarily dispersed.
Next, Frank announced a major piece of news to everyone in the hall, which was like a bombshell that exploded through the crowd.
"Brother Xiao Xuanyuan has officially joined the Alchemist Guild of Black Rock City as a third-grade alchemist, becoming one of us..."

Chapter Sixty-One: All Stars Surrounding the Moon
This bombshell news immediately caused an uproar in the hall. Everyone was discussing how Xiao Xuanyuan, this already rising star, had been recruited by Frank and his group so quickly.
However, with Frank and the other two figures in charge, Xiao Xuanyuan's status has risen accordingly. Everyone made way for him. After glancing around, the expressions of the crowd were quite interesting. In that intense atmosphere filled with envy, jealousy and hatred, Xiao Xuanyuan wanted to go outside for some fresh air.
Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of two beautiful figures walking towards him.
Looking up, one of the girls, Xue Mei and Lin Fei, had a slightly flushed face, one with a fleeting hint of shyness and the other with a complex blush.
"What were you talking about with the teachers?" Xue Mei asked, her small mouth slightly moving as she approached.
Linfei also looked over curiously, hoping to get some information out of Xiao Xuanyuan.
Facing the two women, Xiao Xuanyuan smiled slightly and said, "It's nothing, just a small matter, but Linfei..." He shifted his gaze to the beautiful and charming woman in purple beside him.
Seemingly knowing what Xiao Xuanyuan wanted to say, Lin Fei bit her lip slightly, her cheeks flushed, and she slightly pursed her chin, as if burying her shyness and not daring to look at the handsome young man in front of her. She said, "Then... that bet... still stands, three years, just three years."
Looking at Lin Fei, who had been quite feisty and unruly before, now suddenly appearing like a little girl, Xiao Xuanyuan almost popped his eyes out. What was going on? How did she become so obedient in the blink of an eye?
Xiao Xuanyuan was originally planning how to deal with this young lady, but the sudden plot twist left him slightly stunned and speechless.
Just as Xiao Xuanyuan was thinking about how to properly take revenge and say something to hurt Lin Fei, a delicate figure in a light blue dress popped out from the side, and a soft, smooth hand suddenly grabbed his palm.
"Congratulations! You've finally lived up to everyone's expectations and successfully passed the assessment for a third-grade alchemist." The pleasant voice was slightly playful, yet also a little stiff and shy.
"Oh, it's you." Surprised, Xiao Xuanyuan turned his head to look and saw a bright-eyed, white-toothed smiling face, a friendly smile like that of a girl next door. It was Ya Han, the receptionist at the front desk of the Alchemist Guild.
"Well, now that you've passed the test, when are you free? You can invite me to go for a stroll in the streets." Ya Han faced Xiao Xuanyuan, her cheeks flushed with shyness, and a charming smile appeared on her face.
When they saw Ya Han boldly link arms with Xiao Xuanyuan, Lin Fei and Xue Mei on the other side were slightly taken aback, and couldn't help but think, "Isn't this too bold? Can girls really be this proactive?"
However, after a moment's thought, the surprise on Lin Fei's face quickly turned into anger. She glared at Ya Han and said, "Who are you? How dare you, a receptionist at the guild, openly flirt with the guild's alchemist? You're disgracing the guild!"
Lin Fei's words were not only harsh but also extremely unpleasant. This caused Xiao Xuanyuan and Ya Han to frown slightly, and also attracted the attention of those who had been watching.
Ya Han's cheeks were flushed even without makeup, she was angry, but she held back, after all, Lin Fei's identity was extraordinary, and she didn't want to offend her too much. She pretended not to hear, took Xiao Xuanyuan's hand, and said to him, "I'm going back first. Let's go together after I finish my work."
After saying that, she turned around and prepared to return to the front desk in the lobby.
Even though Ya Han wanted to leave, Lin Fei seemed determined to stand her ground. She stepped forward, grabbed Ya Han's arm, and snapped, "What? You're afraid to answer me? Are you afraid of me?"
"Miss Linfei, please have some self-respect and let go of my hand." Ya Han endured it again and again, but her forbearance did not earn her understanding or forgiveness; instead, she was taken an inch further and a mile further.
After so long, Xiao Xuanyuan finally figured something out. He thought to himself: "Could this girl have had a crush on me all along? Always going against me? Now, even the girl I like has fallen for her..."
"Self-respect? What self-respect? In front of everyone, you actually seduced the guild's alchemist. How dare you talk to me like that?" Lin Fei pressed on relentlessly, not knowing what had gotten into her. She was usually so amiable; what was wrong with her now?
This time, the commotion from Xiao Xuanyuan's side once again drew most of the crowd's attention to Frank and his two companions, making them the focus of everyone's attention.
Clearly, Frank and his two companions were also drawn by the commotion and headed towards Xiao Xuanyuan.
"Linfei, what are you doing? You're still my personal maid, so let go of Yahan right now." Xiao Xuanyuan stepped forward and reached out to pull away Linfei's hand that was tightly holding Yahan's.
Unlike Lin Fei, who came from a prominent family and held a high social status, Ya Han was born into an ordinary family and had always relied on her own trial and error in cultivation. Over the years, she had only reached the low-level two-star Dou Zhe, lacking any substantial combat power. Her advancement to Dou Zhe was entirely due to the Qi Gathering Powder she received as a reward from the guild for her usual work. Through her hard work and the condensation of her Dou Qi vortex, she finally became a Dou Zhe.
If she were to be compared to beauties like Lin Fei and Xue Mei, she would be a thousand times inferior.
"What's going on? Look at this mess!" Frank and the other two rushed over and, looking at Lin Fei's delicate hand tightly gripping Ya Han's arm, seemed to understand something.
Upon seeing her father and teacher, Linfei let go of Yahan's arm and ran to Locke and Frank. She gently shook their arms and said coquettishly, "Dad, Teacher, look at what this has become! She's just a receptionist at the guild, yet she dared to mess with the guild's alchemist. Tell me, according to the rules, how should she be punished?"
Upon hearing this, Frank and Locke both stared directly at Ya Han, whose chin was slightly lowered, not daring to meet her gaze. A blush had already spread across her bare face.
"Yahan, what's wrong with you? Don't you know that as the guild's receptionist, you can't overstep your authority? What are your responsibilities?" Frank said sternly.
Lord Lockes of Blackrock City also spoke up, turning to Frank and saying, "Master Frank, as the lord of Blackrock City, I respect your status, but keeping someone like this in the guild might ruin its reputation one day. In my opinion, it's best to remove him from the guild to avoid being looked down upon by outsiders..."

Chapter Sixty-Two: Fame Spreads Throughout the World
……
Wu Tancheng, Xiao family.
Since Xiao Xuanyuan left, thanks to his relationship with the Mittel Auction House and Canaan Academy, the Xiao family business has been thriving.
After eliminating the other two major families, the Jialie and Aote families, and with no more external forces eroding their power, the Xiao family has grown into the most powerful family in Wutan City. They are now at the height of their power.
On this day, in the Xiao family's reception hall, Xiao Shi, the patriarch of the Xiao family, the three elders, and all other high-ranking figures gathered here, along with Ya Fei, the host of the Mittel Auction House in charge of this area, Raggi, the city lord of Utancheng in the Gama Empire, and the leaders of several other forces.
Inside the hall, people kept congratulating the Xiao family for subduing the Wutancheng Jialie family and the Aote family, as well as the Xiao family's world-renowned rising genius, Xiao Xuanyuan!
"Congratulations! Your Xiao family has produced an extraordinary genius! Not only is his talent and strength astonishing, but his talent even surpasses that of an alchemist..."
"Congratulations, Clan Chief! Congratulations, Clan Chief! Your Xiao family is truly remarkable! A sixteen-year-old third-grade alchemist! Incredible! Incredible..."
The elders and senior members of the Xiao family were so tired of hearing such praise that they were practically sick of it.
In the past few days, ever since Xiao Xuanyuan became famous throughout the Black Rock City Alchemist Guild, almost every influential force in the vicinity of Wutan City has come to visit. With the arrival of these important figures, the threshold of the Xiao family has been nearly worn down. Guests have been arriving in an endless stream, and the Xiao family is decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations everywhere, making it even more festive than the New Year.
The banquet banquet proceeded in a long, elaborate procession, stretching from the Xiao family's main hall to the outer courtyard. Those allowed into the hall were all highly respected figures or those from powerful organizations that had previously maintained close ties with the Xiao family. Among them were Ya Fei, the auction house host of the Mittel Auction House, and Laggi, the lord of Wutancheng City.
Inside the hall, at the innermost and highest banquet table, patriarch Xiao Shi, along with three other elders and Xiao Han, the most powerful and cold-faced member of the Xiao family, were all present.
"Thank you all for your attention and friendship towards the Xiao family. As the patriarch, I would like to offer you all a toast first..." With that, Xiao Shi picked up a glass of wine he had just poured and drank it all in one gulp. A round of enthusiastic applause followed.
With a little wine to fill his stomach, Xiao Shi's smile grew even brighter. Setting down his wine glass, he glanced around at everyone in the hall and continued in a loud voice, "I'm sure you all know my nephew, who is already famous throughout the land. As a member of the Xiao family, I am incredibly proud of my nephew Xuanyuan's achievements..."
Inside the hall, amidst thunderous applause, Xiao Shi, his face flushed with excitement, sat down at the banquet. Then, amidst another round of enthusiastic applause, Xiao Xuanyuan's grandfather, Xiao Yuntian, slowly stood up, his face beaming with joy.
Her long, narrow eyes blinked slightly, then shifted to the Xiao family members at the table, whose faces were flushed and whose expressions were excited and joyful. After learning from the news what the young man in red had done and heard at the Alchemist Guild in Black Rock City, her heart, which had never been moved by any other man, stirred slightly.
Two months ago, he left Wutancheng. I wonder where he is now, and whether he still thinks about me... Sigh, this fickle young man, he has lovers everywhere... Yafei thought helplessly.
With her control over the Mittel Auction House, gathering information about Xiao Xuanyuan would be much easier. Previously, Xiao Xuanyuan often accompanied several beautiful members of the Xiao family shopping, their relationships seemingly ambiguous, which goes without saying. Now that they're in Black Rock City, reliable sources indicate he also appears to have unusual relationships with several women…
Ya Fei sighed softly to herself, raised the wine in her cup with her slender hand, tilted her head back, slightly opened her mouth, and drank it all in one gulp...
In a secluded courtyard of Canaan Academy, a young girl in a light blue dress, her graceful posture and expression captivating, stood tall and elegant. A faint worry lingered on her face, yet it only added to her breathtakingly beautiful and understated charm.
Not long after, after the young woman waited for a moment, an aged figure silently appeared beside her, bowed, and said, "Miss, we have received information that Xiao Xuanyuan is currently in the southeast of the Monster Mountain Range, within Blackrock City on the outskirts of the mountain range..."
As she listened softly to the report from the old figure, the girl's beautiful face, both elegant and captivating, revealed expressions of joy and anger as the old figure gradually recounted the story, until the old figure finished reporting all the information about Xiao Xuanyuan.
The girl, who had been quite calm and composed, frowned deeply after hearing that Xiao Xuanyuan had an ambiguous relationship with other women.
"Elder Ling, please help me investigate those women who have ambiguous relationships with Brother Xuanyuan. Brother Xuanyuan already has me, and I don't want more women to get entangled with him..." As she finished speaking, a faint sadness flashed across the girl's delicate and elegant face.
"Yes, miss. Should all those women be eliminated?" As the old figure spoke, a cold glint flashed in his deep eyes.
"Don't make a move yet. I want to see who dares to try and take Brother Xuanyuan from me." The girl, who had regained her composure and elegance, gently waved her fair and delicate hand.
"Yes." After responding, the aged figure disappeared from behind the girl in the blink of an eye, leaving only the elegant and delicate figure standing there, slightly forlorn.
……
Faced with Frank and Lockes' questioning and pronouncement, Ya Han's face turned pale with extreme fear. Now that she had offended Lin Fei and Lockes, if she were to be kicked out of the Alchemist Guild, she and her family would probably not be able to stay in Blackrock City any longer.
After all, this is Blackrock City. There are too many people who want to curry favor with City Lord Lockes and Linfei. If Linfei gives the next word, without the protection of the Alchemist Guild, she and her family will not only be unable to stay in Blackrock City, but will also be hunted down. Their fate is grim!
So how could Ya Han not be terrified! Involuntarily, Ya Han's pale eyes swept over Lin Fei and the others, finally settling on Xiao Xuanyuan. She instinctively reached out and grabbed Xiao Xuanyuan's arm. As if grasping at a lifeline, her wrist gripped him tightly. Her beautiful eyes looked quite pitiful as she gazed at him.
The Transmigrator Who Changed Doupo
Chapter Sixty-Three: The Date
Faced with the seemingly deadlocked situation, Xiao Xuanyuan was slightly taken aback. At this moment, Lin Fei had actually gotten her father and teacher to take action. Now, it would be difficult for him not to step in.
Xiao Xuanyuan nodded slightly to Ya Han and pulled her behind him, his gaze sweeping over the group in front of him, especially Frank and Locke. Xiao Xuanyuan said, "I think you don't need to treat a beautiful girl like this. No matter what, I consider her my sister. Is this seduction?"
“And Linfei, you…” Xiao Xuanyuan’s gaze shifted to her, then he glanced at Frank and Locke. “Don’t make things so awkward. Your teacher and father are here today. There are so many people here, let’s just leave it at that.”
Facing the rather surprised gazes of the crowd, Xiao Xuanyuan turned around, took Ya Han's hand, and said gently to her, "Sister Ya Han, the guild leader and the city lord are just having a misunderstanding. They won't make any judgment on you. Come on, let me take you outside for a walk to clear your head."
After saying that, Xiao Xuanyuan pulled her towards the guild's exit. Ya Han seemed a little uneasy, her delicate hands struggling slightly. Xiao Xuanyuan turned back and whispered to her, "With me here, they won't dare to do anything to you, don't worry." Ya Han was then somewhat relieved.
"Sister Yahan, come out and have some fun with me for a while. Your guild should give her a two-day break." Just before leaving the guild entrance, Xiao Xuanyuan turned back and called out, his words almost audible to everyone in the hall, including Frank and his group.
Watching Xiao Xuanyuan and the other person walk away, Frank and Locke exchanged glances for a few moments. Finally, seeing Locke's somewhat unpleasant expression and Lin Fei's still flushed face, Frank said with a hint of helplessness, "That's how young people are, doing whatever they want. Let's all go home."
After everyone had dispersed from the hall, Frank patted Locke on the shoulder, even though Locke was much taller than him. Frank gently comforted him, "To retain such a talented alchemy genius, it's all worth it. Didn't you see how astonishing his strength is? I'm sure that in the near future, he will definitely have a place among the Dou Huang powerhouses of the Gama Empire!"
Upon hearing this, Lockes's slightly ashen face relaxed, and a smile appeared. The three then each took Xue Mei and Lin Fei to discuss and persuade the two women. They had gone to great lengths to recruit Xiao Xuanyuan.
Wearing an exquisite alchemist's robe, three brilliant silver streaks flashed across the medicine cauldron emblem on his left chest, representing the incomparably noble and glorious status of an alchemist. Ordinary people would bow slightly in respect upon seeing him.
This was a set of clothes that Xiao Xuanyuan had just obtained from the guild. After putting them on, he often smelled the faint medicinal fragrance emanating from the exquisite robes, which made him feel exceptionally refreshed and clear-headed.
Pulling Ya Han along, Xiao Xuanyuan walked towards a restaurant on the street, amidst the burly guards and surprised gazes at the guild entrance. They had been busy all day at the Alchemist Guild and hadn't eaten anything. To be honest, even as a three-star Dou Shi, he couldn't resist the hunger.
"Yunxiang..." After glancing briefly at the exquisitely decorated signboard at the entrance, and then observing the pleasantly decorated, elegant, and bright interior with its tasteful ambiance, Xiao Xuanyuan pulled Ya Han inside.
"What would you like to eat?" Xiao Xuanyuan asked as soon as he sat down across from him.
"I..." Ya Han hesitated slightly. Although she was quite bold in the Alchemist Guild Hall and even dared to take Xiao Xuanyuan's hand, she was timid when facing him alone now.
"It's nothing, order whatever you like. I'll pay." Picking up the menu on the table, Xiao Xuanyuan glanced at the various famous dishes that looked delicious and appealing. He ordered two or three dishes for himself, and after asking about a few more dishes for Ya Han, they finalized the order.
Seeing Ya Han's cheeks flushed, and her reluctance to speak, Xiao Xuanyuan shook his head helplessly. Girls are just shy and have little resistance. For some reason, Xiao Xuanyuan felt rather annoyed and bored. Sigh, women are so boring.
