Fighting Soul Clan Demoness

Chapter 229 Thoughts

"Brother Xiao Yan..."

Ya Fei opened her mouth in surprise, looking at the boy in front of her with a bit of amusement and astonishment.
"I never thought that the mature and experienced little fellow from Wutan City would actually have such an out-of-control side. I almost thought you were some kind of ascetic monk."

"Ahem. I've always been sentimental." Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan came back to his senses and quickly sat back in his chair, saying seriously.

"Hehe, you weren't like this two years ago. Could it be that Brother Xiao Yan has forgotten?"

Ya Fei narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly, a mischievous smile playing out at the corners of her eyes. "When I first made the deal with you, it was difficult for me to say a few more words. I almost doubted my own charm."

Looking at the enchanting beauty in front of him, Xiao Yan felt somewhat helpless. Needless to say, her charm was so great that even among the Mitel family, which was filled with beauties, she was definitely a unique existence. She could attract countless admirers with just a wave of her finger.

But Xiao Yan seems to be an exception.

He was not only immune to this kind of seductive, alluring demon, but he even felt a bit overly nervous and frightened, as if the demon would drop its disguise in the next second and transform into the spooky girl who made faces at him.
Look, after just a few months of not seeing her, she has already gone to Yunlan Sect to become the Sect Leader. If I had come to the imperial capital any later, I would probably have fainted when I arrived at Yunlan Sect!
"Brother Xiao Yan's reaction was so intense. Was it because he heard the name of the Yunlan Sect?" The smile on her pretty face gradually faded. Ya Fei stared at Xiao Yan, whose expression was uncertain, and asked softly.

"Haha, that's right."

Xiao Yan came back to his senses, twisted his stiff face and forced a smile.

He was indeed surprised and confused when he heard the name of Yunlan Sect, but it was not because of the power of Yunlan Sect, but because he heard the name of that witch.

However, this strange behavior only increased Ya Fei's worries.

She sighed softly and whispered:

"I'm sure you're now aware of the power of the Yunlan Sect in the Jiama Empire. Even our Mitel family is only a second-rate force in front of the Yunlan Sect."

"Listen to my sister's advice. Compared to the three-year agreement, perhaps Chief Xiao cares more about your safety."

"I have managed to hold on for three years. If I don't give myself an explanation, I'm afraid it will be a bit unreasonable." Xiao Yan smiled slightly, and his expression had returned to his previous calmness.

Looking at Xiao Yan's calm face, Ya Fei was slightly startled, then seemed to recall what she had seen and heard in Wutan City in the past. She immediately pursed her red lips and smiled softly.
"I forgot that a certain little genius, when he was only a fighter, dared to challenge the Canaan Academy instructor at the Grand Fighter level."

"It was just luck. If Teacher Ruolin hadn't been willing to give in, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to compete with her on equal terms." Xiao Yan said with a casual smile.

Upon hearing this, Ya Fei could not help but roll her eyes at Xiao Yan, clearly quite dissatisfied with his usually ambiguous response.
"Since you've decided to go, then don't worry. With the status and position of the Yunlan Sect, even if there are disputes between us, the Xiao family won't be involved. After all, those arrogant old guys in the Yunlan Sect have always been the most concerned about their reputation."

".Um."

Xiao Yan looked at Ya Fei's genuine concern, and felt that her words at this moment seemed to have some overlap with the girl in his memory, and he couldn't help but feel moved.

Over the past three years, many people have mocked him, but few have comforted him.
Even fewer people are able to choose to encourage and support the Yunlan Sect when they know they are about to face a force like it.

Subconsciously, Xiao Yan recalled the moments they had spent alone in the desert, and felt that many of the puzzles that had puzzled him for a long time had been answered.

Being able to join the team of Dan Wang Gu He and having the top ten powerful figures follow her orders, Ruoruo must have infiltrated the upper echelons of Yunlan Sect long ago, right?

She is usually most afraid of trouble.
A fleeting flicker of tenderness flashed across his eyes. Xiao Yan took a deep breath, stood up from his seat, and clasped his fists towards Ya Fei, saying, "Thank you, Sister Ya Fei, for your concern. Now that I know there are soul-restoring herbs at the Alchemist Conference, I think I should probably participate. I just don't know how to sign up."

Upon hearing that Xiao Yan was really going to attend the Alchemist Conference, Ya Fei was somewhat shocked, but she did not show any surprise.

Although she was not sure how much Xiao Yan's alchemy skills had improved, just based on the fact that he had created the pill formula in Wutan City, Master Gu Ni, a second-grade alchemist, felt that he was far inferior to him. She would be surprised if she heard that this little genius had no confidence.

Soon, Ya Fei used the Miter family's "money power" to help Xiao Yan register in advance according to Xiao Yan's request.

Not only that, she also gave Xiao Yan a long-treasured 'Ice Silkworm Mask' to help him conceal his identity before going to Yunlan Sect and prevent him from attracting attention. It can be said that she has considered everything.

While Xiao Yan was obtaining a lot of information resources, Hai Bodong also took the opportunity to select several medicinal materials for refining the Fuling Purple Pill.

The generosity of the other party was in stark contrast to his previous appearance of a cold and stubborn old man. Yafei's beautiful eyes sparkled with wonder, and she couldn't help but become more curious about his identity.

Being able to use the Purple Gold Card as a payment method was a privilege only enjoyed by those above the Dou Wang level. This hidden powerhouse was willing to accompany Xiao Yan and listen to the two of them chatting about daily life. This completely refreshed her understanding.
"Brother Xiao Yan, I approved your entry as an elder of the Miter family. Please don't let me lose face."

"Do your best." Xiao Yan didn't finish his words, but just smiled lightly.

"Well, if you need any help, you can come to the Miter Auction House to find me. If there is anything I can help with, I will naturally not refuse." Ya Fei said with a smile.

Xiao Yan nodded slightly, his palm trembling slightly, then he glanced at Hai Bodong beside him, turned around and walked towards the door.

Looking at the two figures that gradually disappeared, Ya Fei pondered for a moment and couldn't help but sigh.

"That little fellow back then is becoming increasingly difficult to understand. Unfortunately, with my current abilities, I can only offer some minor assistance."

The Yunlan clan is a powerful family. Even Ya Fei, who is now temporarily in charge of the imperial capital auction house, can only be described as powerless. Once they make an enemy with that behemoth, the consequences will be absolutely disastrous.

What's more, although the two of them had become closer because they met an old acquaintance in a foreign land, they only had a brief experience of getting along with each other. Being able to do all this can be said to be the most kind thing to do.

Shaking her head with a wry smile, Ya Fei dispelled the thoughts of profit from her mind. Just as she was about to leave the VIP room, her eyes inadvertently lingered on the bench where Xiao Yan had sat previously.

"Is this, a fourth-grade elixir?!"

She raised her hand and picked up the exquisite little jade box. Just by sniffing the faint medicinal fragrance floating on the surface, the experienced Ya Fei instantly judged the value of this pill.

The medicinal aroma is mellow and lingering.

This is a special effect that only the latest refined elixir has!
I hurriedly chased after them outside, only to see that the old man and the young boy had already disappeared in the surging crowd, and there was no trace of them left.

"Fourth-rank alchemist, Xiao Yan, you really gave me a huge surprise."

Her pretty face changed for a moment, and Ya Fei finally put the jade box back into the ring with no choice.

She even had a vague premonition that the Yunlan Sect, which had always been the dominant power in the empire, might be completely overturned by this still immature young man.
