Gu Master Era: My Toad Swallowed the School Beauty at the Beginning

When Li Nan received the Gu worm egg from Wang Xiao, her eyes immediately welled up with tears!

She had always been the one taking care of Wang Xiao, but now Wang Xiao was taking care of her.

Recently, Wang Xiao had been sending her elixirs and spirit Gu worms every now and then, making Li Nan feel like she was the one being cared for.

This made her feel conflicted.

On one hand, she hoped that Wang Xiao would grow up and become successful!

On the other hand, she hoped that Wang Xiao would never grow up, so she could always take care of him and protect him!

But rationally speaking, she still hoped that Wang Xiao would get better and better, growing into a towering tree!

Not asking him to shield anyone from the wind and rain, only asking him to stand proudly in the world!

Li Nan always put Wang Xiao first. She quietly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and said with a smile, "Wang Xiao, I can't accept this Gu worm egg. I'm just a teacher and I don't leave the school, and I don't fight with people, so there's no use for me to have a spirit Gu worm. On the contrary, you're the one who likes to cause trouble, so you should use this spirit Gu worm yourself!"

Wang Xiao was unhappy: "Sister Nan, I don't like to cause trouble, people always provoke me! I accepted the Seven-Star Beetle you gave me, so you must accept the spirit Gu worm I give you, otherwise I'll be angry!"

"It's not that I don't want to accept it, it's that you need it more!"

"First, this is a level three spirit Gu worm, and I'm only a level one Gu master, so I can't subdue it; second, this Amethyst Rock Spider is a defensive spirit Gu worm, and my Seven-Star Beetle, Boulder Bullfrog, and Rhinoceros Beetle are all defensive types, so I don't need another spirit Gu worm of the same type; third, the Amethyst Rock Spider is too beautiful, and people will laugh at me, a man, for using it, only a great beauty like you, Sister Nan, deserves it…"

"Giggle…"

Li Nan was amused by Wang Xiao's last reason and giggled.

After she finished laughing, she glared at Wang Xiao and said, "Hmph, what great beauty am I? Your girlfriend Yan Ruoyun is the real great beauty!"

For some reason, saying this made her feel a little jealous.

Now, the news that Wang Xiao and Yan Ruoyun are dating has already spread throughout the school.

After Wang Xiao persuaded her for a long time, Li Nan had no choice but to accept the Amethyst Rock Spider Gu.

Wang Xiao took the opportunity to make a request: "Sister Nan, come with me to the Alchemist Guild!"

"What are you going to the Alchemist Guild for?"

"To take the exam!"

"Ah! Your alchemy skills are already good enough to take the exam?" Li Nan said in surprise.

"Of course!"

"Okay, when are we going?"

"Let's go now!"

"Okay, let's go!"

Li Nan never hesitated when it came to matters concerning Wang Xiao's future. She immediately put down what she was doing and followed Wang Xiao out of the school, heading straight for the Alchemist Guild.

The four major forces in the Gu Master world: the Academy Alliance, the City Alliance, the Alchemist Guild, and the Black Gu Master Alliance.

If ranked according to combat power, the Alchemist Guild would be the weakest, but in terms of influence, the Alchemist Guild is second only to the Academy Alliance.

Under normal circumstances, no one dares to offend the Alchemist Guild.

Once, a large city treated several alchemists unfairly, so under the call of the Alchemist Guild, all the alchemists left that city, which directly led to the rapid decline of that large city. In just a few decades, it was reduced to a third-rate small city, not even as good as Golden Bell City.

From then on, every city allocated the most core area to the Alchemist Guild, built the most luxurious and grand branch, and established various preferential policies to attract alchemists to settle down.

In many places, the core of a city is not the City Lord's Mansion, but the branch of the Alchemist Guild.

When Wang Xiao and Li Nan arrived at the Alchemist Guild, they were immediately shocked by the luxury here.

Because this building was actually built with gold as the main material, and it was also decorated with various gemstones.

Although gold is not valuable in the Gu Master world, it is not easy to collect so much gold to build a large building.

Wang Xiao exclaimed: "Damn! The Alchemist Guild is really rich!"

Li Nan patted him: "Don't swear, let's go in!"

As soon as the two of them entered the gate hand in hand, a beautiful guide came to greet them: "Hello, welcome to the Golden Bell City Branch of the Alchemist Guild. Are you here to buy elixirs?"

Li Nan said proudly: "My brother is here to take the alchemist exam!"

The guide looked at Wang Xiao and said with a slightly surprised expression: "This little brother, are you the one taking the exam?"

It's no wonder she was surprised. Alchemy is a very talent-dependent profession. Without talent, no amount of effort will be of any use. Even if you have talent, you have to practice for a long time to reach the level to take the exam.

The guide had been working here for three years, and the youngest alchemist she had seen come to take the exam was in his twenties. But Wang Xiao looked only fifteen or sixteen years old.

Wang Xiao nodded with a smile: "Miss, I'm the one taking the exam!"

The guide smiled: "Okay, please follow me!"

She didn't dare to underestimate Wang Xiao just because of his young age.

Since he dared to come and take the exam, he must have some confidence.

Besides, it was his business to take the exam. Whether he passed or not had nothing to do with her. She just needed to do her job as a guide.

Wang Xiao and Li Nan followed the guide to a luxurious office on the second floor.

The guide went in and bowed politely: "Master Feng, someone wants to take the exam!"

A voice came from inside: "Okay, let them in!"

Wang Xiao and Li Nan entered the office and saw a young man in his twenties sitting in a chair.

Wang Xiao had sharp eyes and saw the badge on his chest at a glance, which had the symbol of a first-grade alchemist.

Heh! This young man is quite arrogant! A first-grade alchemist dares to call himself a 'master'!

When this "Master Feng" saw Li Nan, his eyes lit up. He laughed and said, "Hello, beautiful lady. It's been a long time since a female alchemist came to take the exam. You're the first one this year, welcome, welcome!"

The guide quickly said: "No, Master Feng, you misunderstood. It's not this lady, it's this little brother who wants to take the exam!"

"Master Feng" was stunned. He looked Wang Xiao up and down and asked, "You're the one taking the exam? Who is your alchemy master?"

Wang Xiao felt a little unhappy. He didn't like the way this guy looked at Li Nan. Moreover, this person looked at him with a scrutinizing gaze, obviously underestimating him. And the tone of his voice was like questioning a child.

Since the other party was rude, Wang Xiao was not polite either. He said lightly, "I don't have an alchemy master. I'm self-taught!"

"Master Feng's" face changed: "Absurd! I've never heard of anyone who is self-taught in alchemy. What do you take alchemy for? Do you take the alchemy exam as a game? Get out of the Alchemist Guild immediately!"

Feng Qingyan was indeed very angry!

As the youngest alchemist in Golden Bell City, he passed the first-grade alchemist exam at the young age of twenty-one. In Golden Bell City, this record has not been broken so far.

Because of his excellent alchemy talent, he was entrusted with an important task by the Golden Bell City Branch and became one of the three alchemists in charge of the exam.

Feng Qingyan was very arrogant and felt that with his alchemy talent alone, no one in the younger generation of Golden Bell City could compare to him.

Therefore, when he saw Wang Xiao dared to come to take the exam at such a young age, he was immediately angry.

What an ignorant kid! At such a young age, without the guidance of a famous teacher, why would he take the alchemy exam?

And self-taught, you really dare to say it!

Do you think you are me?

Facing the angry Feng Qingyan, Li Nan was afraid of affecting Wang Xiao's exam, so she quickly explained: "This Master Feng, my brother he…"

Li Nan was about to explain, but Wang Xiao pulled her and interrupted her.

Wang Xiao glanced at Feng Qingyan coldly: "This Alchemist Feng, I see that your badge is only a mere first-grade alchemist! As far as I know, only alchemists who have passed the level four alchemist exam will be awarded the title of 'Master' by the headquarters of the Alchemist Guild! I don't know what virtue or ability Alchemist Feng has to dare to call himself a 'Master'!"

Feng Qingyan was even more angry: "You're just a snot-nosed kid who isn't even an alchemist, what qualifications do you have to question me? Others respectfully call me Master Feng, it's not something I proclaimed myself, what's it to you?"

Wang Xiao smiled: "Whether you call yourself 'Master' or not is indeed none of my business! But what reason do you have to refuse to let me take the exam and drive me away? May I ask which rule of the Alchemist Guild I have violated? If not, may I ask when the Alchemist Guild became your home? Who do you want to drive away?"

Feng Qingyan sneered: "Sharp-tongued and unreasonable! Get out of here quickly, the Alchemist Guild is not a place for you to run wild!"

Wang Xiao raised his voice: "Hehe, if you don't give me an explanation today, I really won't leave!"

He was really annoyed.

It was really interesting!

I came to take the exam happily, who knew I would meet such a thing here, making him full of anger.

He was determined that if the Alchemist Guild didn't give him an explanation today, he wouldn't give up!
