Chapter 435: Brother, Uncle

Jiang Rushuang looked from her appearance to be a bit older, in her early thirties to nearly forty. Her features were exquisite, bordering on perfect, and she belonged to the type who still possessed a mature charm.

And 4th-Grade Alchemist Jiang Yi's appearance was young, but from her looks, she was not much older than Xiao Fan.

Xiao Fan was shocked; he could hardly believe his eyes that these two were a 5th-Grade Alchemist and a Grade 4 Alchemist…

And he absolutely could not be mistaken about the small Pill Furnace pattern on the black robes they were wearing…

After his shock subsided, Xiao Fan checked their cultivation. He discovered that this woman who looked nearly forty was actually radiating a terrifying fluctuation of energy…

Yuanhun Realm!

He gasped, feeling that he had misjudged the situation…

The other party must have taken many Medicinal Pills for beauty and youth preservation, which is why she looked so young.

He also sensed the other Grade 4 Alchemist, 4th-Grade Alchemist Jiang Yi. The aura radiating from her was also formidable, though not as terrifying as the former; she was a powerhouse in the Xuandan Realm.

"As expected of the two Elders of Ziyun Cave Heaven, their bearing is truly extraordinary…"

"I remember… Great Master 4th-Grade Alchemist Jiang Yi is the daughter of Senior Jiang Rushuang, right…"

"That's right… Great Master 4th-Grade Alchemist Jiang Yi is said to be the youngest Grade 4 Alchemist in the history of Wuhuang Province, not yet thirty years old…"

"…"

The chatter was clear, and Xiao Fan heard every word.

These revelations left Xiao Fan stunned. The two were actually mother and daughter?!

Now that he looked closely, they indeed looked very much alike.

But this…

Reaching the level of a Grade 4 Alchemist before the age of thirty… that was a bit terrifying…

And her cultivation had reached the Xuandan Realm…

This woman was definitely a Prodigy among Prodigies…

Xiao Fan sighed and took a few more looks at the woman named 4th-Grade Alchemist Jiang Yi. He had to admit that she was also beautiful and alluring, with long, narrow Phoenix eyes…

However, compared to her mother, she was slightly lacking.

Reaching the level of a Grade 4 Alchemist before the age of thirty could not be achieved solely by piling up resources; one must possess talent far exceeding ordinary people to accomplish it.

Jiang Rushuang and 4th-Grade Alchemist Jiang Yi led the people of Ziyun Cave Heaven to arrive, attracting the gazes of everyone in the venue.

Elders Kong Ping and Jiang Yushan from the Jixian Sect, 5th-Grade Alchemist Pill Master Lu Yongzhen from the Thunder Fire Sect, and that Grade 4 Alchemist Elder from Shengdan City all walked forward.

"Fairy Jiang, it has been many years. You are still as beautiful and alluring as ever…" Kong Ping said politely, his face full of fawning smiles—a sight Xiao Fan had never seen before…

But what was even more interesting was that Xiao Fan noticed that when Kong Ping said this, Jiang Yushan, who had been high-spirited just a moment ago, had a darkened expression…

And most importantly, Jiang Rushuang's gaze remained fixed on Jiang Yushan, and even her daughter, 4th-Grade Alchemist Jiang Yi, was the same; both mother and daughter were constantly watching Jiang Yushan…

There seemed to be some hidden story here… Could it be… Xiao Fan became even more interested and watched intently…

"Fairy Jiang, how have you been lately…" Pill Master Lu Yongzhen stroked his beard. It had to be said that with his black hair and black beard, he definitely looked younger than Kong Ping based on appearance alone.

"Fairy Jiang, long time no see." The Grade 4 Alchemist Elder from Shengdan City clasped his hands politely.

"Hmph…" Jiang Yushan let out a cold snort, glanced at the three old men, and his expression grew increasingly unpleasant…

"Brother, it has been many years. How have you been lately?" Jiang Rushuang spoke, her bright eyes flashing as she looked at Jiang Yushan.

"Uncle…" 4th-Grade Alchemist Jiang Yi also smiled, her voice sweet and pleasant…

Brother?

Uncle?

Apparently, the way the mother-daughter pair, Jiang Rushuang and 4th-Grade Alchemist Jiang Yi, addressed Jiang Yushan shocked everyone.

This inside information was clearly known to only a few people…

Xiao Fan's mouth hung open wide enough to fit an egg…

He had originally thought that these people might be love rivals, and that 4th-Grade Alchemist Jiang Yi might call Jiang Yushan 'Father'… after all, they both had the surname Jiang…

As it turned out… Uncle?!

Xiao Fan's mouth was just hanging open, but the others looked like their eyeballs were about to pop out; clearly, no one knew about their relationship…

"Cough… Yi'er has grown up."

Jiang Yushan coughed dryly, his old face flushing red, and he patted 4th-Grade Alchemist Jiang Yi's head before turning his gaze to Jiang Rushuang: "Still the same old self. How have you been lately?"

"I am still the same as before," Jiang Rushuang smiled.

Xiao Fan swallowed hard. He suddenly really wanted to gossip and find out what exactly was going on…

Kong Ping and Pill Master Lu Yongzhen—Xiao Fan had clearly seen the love in their eyes just a moment ago…

And… this relationship was a bit complicated.

His desire to gossip rose, and he desperately wanted to open his mouth and ask…

However, he dared not. He was familiar with Jiang Yushan and Kong Ping, but he did not know Jiang Rushuang and 4th-Grade Alchemist Jiang Yi.

Women are not to be trifled with… Xiao Fan decided to dismiss this thought for now.

"Everyone, it has been many years. I hope you have been well." After chatting with her brother for a few sentences, Jiang Rushuang turned her gaze toward Kong Ping, Pill Master Lu Yongzhen, and the others…

"Very well, very well."

"I am the same, not bad, all not bad…"

"…"

These three old men all had flushed red faces and were acting somewhat coy, which made people feel very uncomfortable watching them…

Not to mention Xiao Fan, everyone else in the venue had the same thought.

"She… could she be the one Master often talks about… Shuang'er??" At this moment, Long Caiwei, who was at his side, blurted out.

Shuang'er?!

Xiao Fan was closest to her and naturally heard it clearly. He turned his gaze toward Long Caiwei, wanting to ask.

However, before he could open his mouth, several terrifying auras simultaneously turned toward Long Caiwei…

Kong Ping, Jiang Yushan, Jiang Rushuang, 4th-Grade Alchemist Jiang Yi, Pill Master Lu Yongzhen, and even that Elder from Shengdan City…

Kong Ping had several black lines appear on his forehead, and he used his eyes to signal Long Caiwei not to speak recklessly…
