"Xiao Yan, what kind of skill is it to hide behind a woman? If you have the guts, come out and fight me!"

Xiao Yu said, her eyes filled with anger.

Xiao Yan chuckled: "I rely on my ability to hide behind Xiao Meng... come and hit me if you're not convinced!"

Although he said that, he was ready to strike at any moment.

Xiao Meng and Xiao Yu were both three-star Dou Practitioner, but the latter had studied at Jia Nan Academy and had cultivation methods and Dou skills... If they really fought, he felt that Xiao Meng would suffer.

At this moment, Xiao Yan was not afraid of Xiao Yu either. He could still use "Eight Extremes Collapse" once, using a high-level Xuan Dou skill to deal with a three-star Dou Practitioner, which should not be a problem.

"Stop! Quickly take that embarrassing guy down!"

A roar stopped the further escalation of the conflict.

Xiao Yan looked at the roaring elder on the VIP seat in surprise, "Great Elder?"

Xiao Yu showed a look of astonishment, unable to understand why her grandfather, who had always been protective of his own, was scolding her at this moment... and it was when her brother had been beaten like this.

She couldn't help but feel a little aggrieved, bit her lower lip, and left with Xiao Ning.

Looking at the aggrieved Xiao Yu, the Great Elder's heart was also not feeling well. But now, for the sake of the family's interests, he had to protect Xiao Yan.

Ya Fei, a high-level executive of the Miteer Auction House, had just shown a tendency to cooperate with the Xiao family because of Xiao Yan's talent. This was Xiao Yan bringing benefits to the family.

At this time, he could not blame Xiao Yan, this great contributor. In addition, he must also show outsiders the family's importance to Xiao Yan, this genius, so that others would not think that the Xiao family would bury him.

A faint smile appeared on Xiao Yan's face. Inadvertently, he saw Ya Fei making a gesture of pinching her glasses, and then discovered that many leaders of the invited forces were wearing monocles, and suddenly felt a little amused.

After all, not everyone's style is compatible with monocles. Some people have a unique charm when they wear them, some give people a feeling of being either refined, mysterious, or elegant, while others are a bit ridiculous, like a monkey wearing a hat.

"Teacher, is wearing a monocle a very popular thing? You wear one, Ya Fei wears one, Jia Liebi wears one... and many leaders of forces wear them..."

"You said I always wear a monocle?" Yao Chen's expression changed slightly.

Accurately noticing the strangeness in Yao Lao's tone, Xiao Yan was a little puzzled: "Yes, teacher, what's wrong?"

Yao Chen hesitated for a moment, and decided to confess to Xiao Yan:

"Actually, there is a huge hidden danger in my soul. When I was weak, some unknown creatures entered the ring and eroded my soul."

"They seem to have extremely special abilities in the soul aspect, and their weirdness is something I have never seen in my life. I am afraid that even those people are not as weird as them..."

"I don't even know where they are hiding in my soul, and I have no solution. However, after so many years, they have been very peaceful and have not made too many movements."

"It's just that occasionally they seem to be transmitting some information to the outside world... Their transmission method is very hidden. Although I can detect slight fluctuations in soul power, I can't tell who they are communicating with, nor can I know what they are saying..."

"I am very sure that I should not have had this habit before. This is their influence."

"Ah?" Xiao Yan scratched his head, "Teacher, don't fool me, liking to wear monocles... how can there be such a strange influence?"

He didn't quite believe it, thinking that Yao Lao was fooling him... after all, this influence sounded a bit trivial.

"Silly boy, I'm not lying to you... It's just that before you pointed it out, even I didn't realize it and ignored it... They will unconsciously change people's thinking!" Yao Chen said with a solemn tone.

"Really?"

"Really, why would I lie to you for nothing? Do you think I would fool you on such a serious matter?" Yao Chen rolled his eyes, "There are soul fluctuations again! It seems that they have also discovered that we have discovered the anomalies they caused, so they are transmitting information!"

On the VIP seat, one guest after another wearing monocles focused their gaze on Xiao Yan, which made him feel a sense of scalp tingling.

"Wait..." Xiao Yan's pupils shrank violently, staring at the VIP seat, "No way? Could it be that... so many people have been affected by the strange creatures you mentioned, teacher?"

He initially felt that the influence of "liking to wear monocles" was very trivial, a bit funny, and also thought that Yao Lao was joking with him.

But when he really accepted that this was not a joke, but a real thing, he felt an indescribable sense of weirdness and horror.

"Very likely, since those strange creatures that have integrated into my body will transmit information to the outside world, then it means that there are still their kind." Yao Lao said affirmatively.

"Then teacher, what should we do now?" Xiao Yan asked in a panic, "They are all staring at me..."

"It's just possible... calm down, think carefully, at this time, even if they are normal and not affected, they will still look at you... after all, you are now the focus of Spectator."

"Uh... it seems so." Xiao Yan scratched the back of his head.

"Also, you ask me what to do? Didn't I say it? There is that kind of thing in my soul, you ask me... is this preparing to conspire against them loudly in front of them?"

Yao Chen's tone was serious, but there was not much tension or urgency, which made Xiao Yan's originally flustered heart a lot more stable.

"This..." Xiao Yan didn't know how to answer for a while. He thought for a moment and said, "Is there no way to accurately distinguish them?"

Yao Lao responded slightly quickly: "No, I should have said it just now, I can't even find the anomalies in my own soul..."

"Maybe you can inquire about the past life habits of these people, see who has obvious changes, who suddenly fell in love with wearing monocles."

"But even if you find out the results, it's useless, because we don't have the means and power to break the situation... Knowing the strangeness of those people, what can you do?"

"But can we just let it go? I don't want my father to become like this one day." Xiao Yan said in a deep voice.

Yao Chen said helplessly: "Before there is the ability to solve the problem, it is better to pretend that you have not discovered it. At least it is still peaceful now... If you insist on investigating them, it may alarm them and cause the crisis that could have been postponed to erupt in advance."

Xiao Yan pondered for a moment: "Teacher, do you think the forces behind Xun'er will know something about such things? Can we use their power to deal with strange creatures?"

If it was just his own business, then Xiao Yan would definitely not consider asking the forces behind Xun'er for help, but now it has involved the entire Xiao family, the entire Wu Tan City, and Xun'er herself may also be affected.

"Idiot, even if you have such an idea, don't tell me, just secretly leave clues to that girl." Yao Chen rolled his eyes, "If you mention it to me, they will also know."

Xiao Yan thought for a moment and decided to follow Yao Chen's advice and pretend that he had not discovered anything.

Walking off the stage, Xun'er noticed Xiao Yan's seriousness and abnormality at the first time, and couldn't help but ask with some worry: "Xiao Yan brother, what's wrong? You look a little strange."

Xiao Yan hesitated to speak, remained silent for a long time, and finally did not say his discovery and speculation.

"Xun'er, be more vigilant when you encounter people wearing monocles." He reminded.

Xun'er was a little confused by Xiao Yan's nonsensical sentence... what does this mean?

She thought of the Gale family, some of whom liked to use monocles as decorations.

"Young Master Xiao Yan, it's great that you can think like this. Yes, no woman wearing a monocle is a good thing. Young Master Xiao Yan, you must stay away from them." Xiao Meng came over and said with great seriousness.

While she was talking, she glanced at Ya Fei on the stage, the meaning of which was self-evident.

"Okay, okay, I will stay away from her." Xiao Yan said with a wry smile.

...

Above the VIP seat, Ya Fei stroked her monocle, outlining a charming smile, and communicated with the rest of the Amons with soul power: "Yao Chen has revealed our existence to Xiao Yan..."

"It doesn't matter, they can't do anything now. People who wear monocles may not be parasitized, and people who don't wear monocles may not be un-parasitized." A spirit-worm host who was not wearing a monocle raised his right hand and pinched his right eye socket.

"But since the undercurrents surging under the calm Wu Tan City have been discovered, then the peaceful years of rivalry and jealousy between young men and women should also come to an end. Let's have some real challenges..."

"Heh... then please welcome the first truly meaningful enemy, the little villain Gale family to the stage!" An Amon said cheerfully.

"Galebi... calling Galebi Amon... are you ready over there?"

Through the relay transmission of one clone after another, they contacted Galebi, who was far away in the Gale family and was not invited to participate in the Xiao family's coming-of-age ceremony.

"I have already invited the alchemist Liu Xi, but I am hesitating whether to slightly increase the difficulty." Galebi took off the monocle made of crystal, wiped it with silk, and put it back on.

"There is no need to increase the difficulty, the old guys of the ancient clan are still in the city..."

"But I think it would be more interesting to make some changes and cause more losses to the Xiao family."

"Let's vote... I vote to maintain normalcy."

"Increase the difficulty! I like to watch the fun."

"Maintain normalcy."

"Maintain normalcy."

...

The Amons of Wu Tan City conducted a regional "Council of Amons" and made a decision.

"Then let's go through the normal process and start Xiao Yan's path as an alchemist!" Wu Meng announced the action guide based on the final voting results.

However, it is worth mentioning that Xiao Meng and the spirit-worms belonging to her did not participate in this "Council of Amons", they were excluded by the Amons!
