I, the mortal, come from the great world of Xuanhuang

"What did you say? The Mittel family has severed all business ties with our family."

Nalan Yanran was shocked to see the news. She never expected that the business relationship between the Mitel family and the Nalan family would be cut off so quickly. Although she had guessed it long ago, she was still shocked when she heard it with her own ears.

In response to his daughter's shock, Nalan Yanran's father could only smile bitterly and nodded.

"That's right. Now all contacts between the Mitel family and our family have been severed. In addition, that old man Mitel Tengshan even announced that he would sever all personal contacts with our Nalan family from now on."

This was something he never thought of.

"But who is that person? Why can the Miter family be so obedient and even cut off all ties with our Nalan family? Who is he?"

Nalan Yanran frowned deeply and continued to ask.

"I haven't investigated this either, but it's certain that he is related to the Ice Emperor Hai Bodong who just returned from the Mitel family. Someone saw them meeting on the street in front of the Alchemist Guild, and they talked about something. No one knows what they talked about, but it's certain that it's related to this incident. The Ice Emperor Hai Bodong of the Mitel family has returned, so their overall strength has surpassed that of our Nalan family. If it weren't for the Yunlan Sect behind you, I'm afraid our Nalan family would be in a more difficult situation."

Nalan Yanran's father continued speaking, and at the same time he was extremely glad that his daughter was appointed as the young master of the Yunlan Sect.

Otherwise, the current changes alone would be enough to make the Nalan family suffer. Because the impact of one more Douhuang strongman on a family is too great. To put it bluntly, if there is no accident, just this alone, the Nalan family will not have a good life, and may even be driven out of the imperial capital.

In fact, if something unexpected happened to Nalan Yanran's grandfather again, he would have no chance to stay in the imperial capital. He would be just like the Xiao family in the past and would fall into ruin.

Fortunately, nothing happened to Nalan Yanran's grandfather, otherwise there would definitely be no good ending.

"Who is he then? What is his relationship with the Xiao family? He actually helps the Xiao family so much, and the Mittel family actually listens to him so much. What is his relationship with the Ice Emperor Hai Bodong?"

These were the doubts in Nalan Yanran's heart, and she simply couldn't figure them out.

Because she couldn't find out who Fang Yu was, where Fang Yu came from, or what his relationship was with the Xiao family.

"Anyway, this incident has caused a stir in the entire imperial capital. Many families are speculating about what kind of conflict we have with the Mittel family. Even the royal family has sent people to inquire about what happened. The royal family said they hope our two families can get along and ease the relationship so that this kind of thing won't happen again."

"Especially now that the Alchemist Union's conference is about to begin, such a big thing happening under such circumstances is not a good thing for our two families or even for the entire empire. Because if other empires knew that the two families of the empire had such a big conflict, even to the point of life and death, they would definitely not miss this opportunity. At that time, the border would definitely not be peaceful, and this would not be a good thing for the entire empire."

"At the same time, the royal family has also sent the princess to the Mittel family to inquire about the exact reason. I hope the royal family can learn something, so that we can understand what is going on. I also hope that the royal family can find out the identity of that person, otherwise we may really have to ask your teacher to come over."

When Nalan Yanran's father said this, Nalan Yanran's face turned very ugly.

"I'm afraid the teacher won't come to the imperial capital for this matter. This is almost impossible. Unless I encounter a life-and-death crisis, the teacher will never take action. Besides, the teacher is probably unwilling to be an enemy of the Mitre family now. After all, the Ice Emperor Hai Bodong has returned. Under such circumstances, being an enemy of the Mitre family is not a good thing for the entire sect. Moreover, this is a trouble caused by our family. Even if the teacher does it for my sake, he will at most let me go back to the sect and not interfere in this matter." Nalan Yanran knew her teacher's temperament too well, and she also knew too well the sect's position in the empire. It has always been in a neutral position and it is impossible for it to interfere under such circumstances.

"If that's the case, then there's really no way to solve the current problem, because this matter is too troublesome. We don't even know who that person is. We only know that he is related to the Xiao family, and the Xiao family's status in the empire is now rising. The most important thing is that the Xiao family now has a Dou Wang strongman. This alone is enough to prove that the Xiao family is no longer what it used to be."

"Father, what are you talking about? A Dou Wang expert has appeared in the Xiao family. How is this possible? How could a Dou Wang expert appear in the Xiao family? This is totally impossible. With the ability of the Xiao family, even if that genius cultivates faster, it is impossible for him to cultivate to the Dou Wang realm so quickly."

Nalan Yanran was terrified. She never expected such a big thing to happen.

"The Dou Wang powerhouses of the Xiao family are not human, but magic beasts. There are five Dou Wang-level magic beasts in total, and these five Dou Wang-level magic beasts can speak. The most important thing is that these five Dou Wang-level magic beasts can also transform into human form, although not complete human form. But according to what they said, they took a kind of elixir called Demon Transformation Pill, which is a sixth-grade elixir. This means that there is a sixth-grade alchemist behind them. And this Demon Transformation Pill is actually a pill without the addition of Transformation Grass, because without the addition of Transformation Grass, it cannot be refined into Transformation Pill. After taking it, the monster can only form a rough human form, and cannot transform into a complete human form."

“But even so, the current strength of the Xiao family has surpassed most families in the country, even our family is not as good as it is. After all, our family only has one Dou Wang powerhouse, your grandfather, and I haven’t broken through to the Dou Wang level yet. Even if I break through to the Dou Wang level, there will only be one more Dou Wang powerhouse. In the entire empire, there is only your sect, the royal family, and the Mitel family where the Ice Emperor Hai Bodong has returned. The relationship between the Mitel family and the Xiao family is definitely extraordinary. Because the Mitel family is helping the Xiao family to restore everything in the past, and even handed over all the business of the Xiao family and part of its own business to the Xiao family. As long as the Xiao family is willing, they can seize the position of the three major families of the Mu family at any time. If it weren’t for the sect behind you, our family might have lost the position of the three major families.” After listening to her father’s words, Nalan Yanran’s face showed regret.

"The Xiao family is no longer someone we can afford to provoke, not to mention that the Xiao family has now joined forces with the Mitel family and cut off all ties with us, but has a closer relationship with the Xiao family. In this way, the entire Mitel family can only gain and not lose. Moreover, with the current strength of the Xiao family, it is very likely to replace the Mu family and become the new third largest family. This is definitely not a good thing for our entire Nalan family. If you lose this three-year agreement, it will definitely be a major blow to the entire Nalan family, and it will also be a big blow to the sect behind you."

"Don't worry, father. I will definitely not lose this time. No matter what, I will definitely not lose to that guy from the Xiao family. I will definitely not lose."

Nalan Yanran promised as if swearing, and now she could not do anything else except this.

"Oh, there's another thing. This guy will also participate in the competition held by the Alchemist Guild. With his ability, I'm afraid he's destined to win the championship this time. In this case, the Alchemist Guild is also likely to become the backer of the Xiao family. Even if the Alchemist Guild remains neutral, if he speaks up, he might do some business with the Xiao family. At that time, our family's situation will be even more difficult. The only way now is to find a way to ease the relationship with the Xiao family, but you can't lose. Under this situation, it is really a very troublesome thing."

Nalan Yanran's father is now extremely regretful and has no idea what to do.

After all, the Xiao family today is no longer someone that the Nalan family can afford to offend. If his father knew about it, the consequences would be unimaginable.

……

Compared to the father and daughter of the Nalan family, the Mittel family was full of laughter and joy at this time. Firstly, because they had formed an alliance with the Xiao family, the Xiao family was no longer what it used to be. There were five Dou Wang-level monsters, and the power behind the Xiao family was definitely extraordinary. Under such circumstances, the Mittel family was naturally very happy. Secondly, the Xiao family had Fang Yu, a peerless genius, and this peerless genius.

Under such circumstances, the future of the Xiao family is simply unimaginable. Being able to form an alliance with the Xiao family is a great thing for the entire Mitel family.

So at this moment, the Mitel family was extremely happy. They directly held a banquet to welcome Fang Yu's arrival. Fang Yu had no interest in this banquet, so he just asked Mitel Yafei to decline it for him. However, although he declined, he still did it, because in addition to Fang Yu, there was another person at the banquet this time, that is, the eldest princess of the royal family.

Of course, the person the royal princess cares most about is Fang Yu, because Fang Yu is her fiancé no matter what. The royal family has now decided to marry into the Xiao family, and Fang Yu is the best marriage candidate.

There is no one more suitable than Fang Yu as a marriage partner.

At the same time, the royal family was extremely grateful for their choice to form an alliance with the Xiao family.

Therefore, after the banquet, the eldest princess of the royal family immediately asked Concubine Miterya to take her to see Fang Yu, because she knew very well that all this was done by Fang Yu.

"Aren't you going back? Are you planning to stay at the Mitel family? Are you planning to warm my bed?" Fang Yu's teasing made the royal princess blush slightly, but she shook her head and said, "I just want to know why you do this? Why do you want to help the old man of the Nalan family?" This is the biggest doubt of the royal princess, because she really can't figure it out. Fang Yu obviously has no good feelings for the Nalan family. If he had a good feeling, he would not let the Mitel family cut off all contacts with the Nalan family to isolate the entire Nalan family. Now the entire imperial capital has begun to distance itself from the Nalan family. If it weren't for the sect behind Nalan Yanran, I'm afraid they would have taken action long ago, just like the Xiao family was quickly driven out of the imperial capital, just because there was no Dou Wang strongman in charge.

"Of course, this is because our Xiao family and the Nalan family still have some relationship. They are unkind, so we can't be unjust, right?"

"And I also want them to have a taste of what the Xiao family faced back then. It's a pity that there is still a sect behind the Nalan family. Under such circumstances, it is difficult for them to have a taste of what our Xiao family faced back then. It's really a pity. I should have wiped them all out earlier. But then I can't get revenge quickly, don't you think? Princess?" The eldest princess of the royal family didn't believe a word of Fang Yu's reason, but even if she didn't believe it, she had no choice. "I see, do you need our royal family's help?"

"Your royal family should not help, lest someone accuse you of taking advantage of someone's misfortune. After all, given the current situation, if your royal family helps, it would be like taking advantage of someone's misfortune. This would not be a good thing for your royal family, so your royal family does not need to help, nor does it need to help me. Just let me handle this matter. As for other matters, your royal family should do what they should do, such as maintaining order in this competition. This is very important."

Fang Yu's words made the princess frown. She always felt that Fang Yu had bad intentions. He was not as kind as he said. He must have other intentions.

Unfortunately, she couldn't guess what Fang Yu's purpose was and what he wanted to do. Because Fang Yu was hiding so deeply, she couldn't see what Fang Yu wanted to do, so she could only continue talking.

"This is nothing. It's not a big deal anyway. If we can form an alliance with the Xiao family, it will definitely be much better for the royal family than the Nalan family alone. Even if the royal family, the Mitre family, the Mu family and other families join forces, they can take away everything that the Nalan family has now."

"That's not necessary. It's totally unnecessary. After all, the Nalan family is still useful." (End of this chapter)
