Seeing Xiao Zhan taking action, Ye Chen immediately wanted to use his mental power to wipe the opponent, but when the virtual lion-headed fist attacked, he slightly slowed down his speed. Ordinary fighters could not notice it at all, but under his powerful mental power, it was indeed fully exposed.

"Test!"

Almost instantly, Ye Chen guessed what Xiao Zhan’s real purpose was. After suppressing the urgency of his mental power, he stood there motionlessly, looking at the lion’s head biting in fear, and sweating all over his head.

At the critical moment, the fist with the lion's head suddenly tilted, almost brushing Ye Chen's head, and instantly burst out a big hole in the wall of the wooden house behind him.

"Why not hide?"

Xiao Zhan, who withdrew his fist, looked at Ye Chen tightly, as if he wanted to see through it.

It can be seen that the other party was covered in sweat and horror, and Xiao Zhan also withdrew his strong eyes. From this performance, it can be seen that Ye Chen was very honest, but he still wanted to hear the other party's answer.

"Qi Biography leader, my life was saved by the Xiao family, so when do you want me to die? Ye Chen has no complaints."

"Oh? But I don't look like you're not afraid."

Hearing this, Ye Chen couldn't help but wipe his sweat and said tremblingly: "People are born to fear death. No matter who they are, I think they will be afraid of death. I am indeed afraid of death, but I believe that the patriarch will not kill people for no reason."

After saying that, Ye Chen also observed Xiao Zhan. Soon, the other party showed a gratified smile on his lips. He then reached out and patted his shoulder, and laughed: "Don't be afraid, I'm not going tonight, but you are a foreign surname after all, so the elders of the family want to see your performance."

As he said that, Xiao Zhan smiled constantly, and then took out an iron token engraved with the golden word "Xiao" from his waist and handed it to him: "Hold it, from now on, you Ye Chen will be the core disciple of my Xiao clan. You will enjoy various preferential resources like the core clan of this surname. As the most precious talent of the Xiao clan, you must practice well and improve your fighting spirit."

"Abide by the order of the patriarch!"

He patted Ye Chen on the shoulder again, and Xiao Zhan walked out of the wooden house with a smile and disappeared into the vast night.

"Core disciple?"

Ye Chen looked at the Xiao clan token in his hand, and then threw it into a corner of the ring. Although he was not interested in this identity, the identity of this core disciple was only the first step to obtain the ancient emperor jade of Tuoshe.

Now Yao Lao is stepping up the refining of pills, and there are a lot of herbs brought back from the auction house, which is enough for him to practice for a while.

Then after the elixir market opens, the next step is to improve the cultivation.

Cultivation?

Ye Chen couldn't help but think of Concubine Ya. If he had successfully completed the task tonight, he might not have to worry about his cultivation, but the systematic "personal hand" ruined his efforts all night.

Taking out the magic weapon Demon Abyss Sword, Ye Chen slowly absorbed the internal divine power and transformed it into Dou Qi energy that adapts to this world.

The night passed like this. When practicing, I couldn’t feel the passage of time at all, but after waking up from inward vision, I felt a little pain in my waist.

"Brother Chen, are you in there?"

A call came, and then Guo Guo walked in through the big hole in the wooden wall with a look of surprise: "What's wrong with you?"

"It's okay to have the wall aging and collapsed. By the way, Brother Guo, why do you want to find me?"

Ye Chen was perfunctory, but Guo Guo didn't care. He just ran to him quickly and said with envy: "Congratulations, Brother Chen, I was just promoted to an inner disciple yesterday. Today, the patriarch announced that you are the core disciple of the family. This is an unprecedented special thing since the entire Xiao clan."

"Is that right? It's just an identity."

"Uh, Brother Chen, your uncontested personality is really enviable. I want to be a core disciple like you. No, just enter the inner sect."

Looking at Guo Guo with an expectant look, Ye Chen couldn't help but take out a lot of low-level pills and two techniques from the ring and handed them to the other party: "Take it, this is the inner sect reward in the clan. Now I am a core disciple, so there is no need for these."

"Really...give it all to me? Brother Chen..."

A hint of redness appeared in his eyes. Guo Guo acted to hug Ye Chen, but he was skillfully avoided. Then Ye Chen chuckled and said, "Why, Brother Guo, do you look down on my things? Then I'll put them away."

"No, Brother Chen's great kindness, Guo Guo will never forget it. I want things, hey, I really want them, don't put them away."

Guo Guo nervously took over the elixirs and techniques that had gone around in circles, and left with excitement. The real purpose of his visit was to inform Ye Chen that because of the identity of the core disciple, the clan had arranged a new residence for him, and the place was in the inner courtyard of the family.

He shrugged, Ye Chen didn't clean up anything. After taking care of the door, he walked towards the inner courtyard.

Because of the night patrol, he and Guo Guo easily found their residence. However, Ye Chen looked at the room next door and immediately grabbed Guo Guo Dao in confusion: "Are you sure I want to live here? The next door is a girl's room."

Upon hearing this, Guo Guo looked around and nodded and said, "That's right, you live here. The patriarch said that you will protect Miss Xiao next door. This is also your main family mission to become a core disciple."

"Uh, are you sure?"

"Well, I'm sure, Brother Chen, you go in by yourself, I'll go back to practice the exercises first."

Guo Guo raised his eyebrows at him and soon ran away. At the same time, a little girl about the same age as Xun'er walked out of the next room and said angrily: "Are you sent by the patriarch to protect me? Please tell me clearly with uncle, I don't need it..."

Before he finished speaking, the girl walked out of the door and saw Ye Chen, and the words in her mouth stopped immediately.

After that, the little girl asked softly: "Are you my bodyguard in the future?" In the words, there was no longer the fierceness and gentleness of the previous ones.

"It should be true. My name is Ye Chen, I don't know what your name is."

The little girl in front of her has short pink hair and looks crisp and charming, but she is mixed with other temperaments that are hard to understand. She is too young to see clearly.

"My name is Xiao Mei, I'm very happy to know you."

As he said that, the little girl ran back to her room and closed the door with a bang.

Shaking his shoulders, Ye Chen walked into his house indifferently, saying that he was responsible for protection, but he knew that the possibility of encountering danger in the family was very small, so this arrangement may also have other purposes.

After all, behind Ye Chen's identity at this moment, there is a super alchemist who is no less than the third grade. In the small Wutan City, the existence of a third grade alchemist is extremely rare. Even if you release a little news, Ye Chen's threshold will be broken.

"Ye Chen, Brother Ye Chen, are you inside?"

As soon as he was lying on the bed, Ye Chen heard a few calls from outside the door, and then a crisp and short figure appeared in front of him.

"Xiao Xun'er, why are you here?"

Hearing this, Xiao Xun'er, who was holding the quilt, looked aggrieved and coquettish, "Brother Ye Chen, you haven't told me a story tonight, Xun'er can't sleep." After that, he jumped onto his bed very quickly.

Seeing this, Ye Chen couldn't help but give up the big bed to Xiao Xun'er, then looked at her simple and shiny gaze, and sat at the head of the bed and began to tell a story for her.
