Chapter 1045: Heading to the Burning Flame Valley
Cheng Yao’s expression had turned quite ugly when he heard Elder Chi Huo’s words. However, due to the other party’s status, he could only clench his fists tightly regardless of how dissatisfied he was. He viciously glanced at Liu Qing. His eyes were filled with fury.
Although Cheng Yao knew that the situation had turned around because of Xiao Yan’s appearance, he really had difficulty forming hatred toward a tier 7 alchemist. This was because he clearly understood just how great of an ability a tier 7 alchemist possessed...
Compared to Cheng Yao’s ugly expression, Liu Qing’s face was covered in a joyous one. He cupped his hands toward Elder Chi Huo as he smiled and said, “Thank you very much, Elder Chi Huo.”
Elder Chi Huo smiled and waved his hand. His eyes landed on Xiao Yan beside Liu Qing. He quickly stepped forward, cupped his hands, and smiled as he said with great politeness, “Ke ke, may I inquire about young friend’s name.”
“Yan Xiao.” Xiao Yan smiled and cupped his hands toward Elder Chi Huo.
“Young friend Yan Xiao already possesses such an achievement at his age. This is really unbelievable. May I know which great person is young friend’s teacher?” Elder Chi Huo laughed. Regardless of how outstanding Xiao Yan’s talent was, it was unlikely for him to reach such a stage if there was no one to guide him.
“He is merely a mountain hermit and cannot be considered a great person.” Xiao Yan laughed and pushed this question aside without making it obvious.
Seeing that Xiao Yan did not wish to speak more about this topic, Elder Chi Huo hurriedly shut his mouth. He might be an Elder of the Burning Flame Valley, but he was just an expert Dou Zong. He still maintained a courteous tone to a tier 7 alchemist.
“Ha ha, Liu Qing, the Wormhole of the Tianhuang city shall be managed by your Liu clan during the three years from today on. All you need to do is deliver the tribute to the Burning Flame Valley on time every year.” Elder Chi Huo’s eyes slide to Liu Qing as he spoke with a friendly smile.
The Wormhole provided a healthy income. The Liu clan might be able to obtain the management rights, but they would have to pay a portion of it as tribute to the Burning Flame Valley. This had been the rule over the years.
Liu Qing smiled and nodded. He was naturally aware that the reason Elder Chi Huo was being this courteous to him was due to Xiao Yan.
