Battle Through the Heavens: Emperor Yan, please restrain yourself; your elder brother is truly hones

Xiao Zhan wanted to speak up and smooth things over, but Zhang Yuan stood up before he could finish and said, "As for the threat, I was just joking with Sister Ya Fei. It wasn't that tasteless."

Ya Fei immediately let out a silvery laugh, her eyes saying, "Keep making things up, keep making things up."

She lost her composure because she was intimidated by Zhang Yuan, and only now did she realize that she also had a powerful backer.

Although Mu Zhan was annoying, the Mu family had already punished him, and the Mittel family was willing to give her a chance to prove her worth, so she didn't need to be too afraid.

However, wanting to avoid trouble, she was willing to sell the Mittel family's fourth-tier wind-type magic core at a low price.

“Actually, from the very beginning, I came here to find you, Master Gu Ni,” Zhang Yuan said with a smile.

Ya Fei's long, narrow, peach-blossom-like eyes narrowed slightly, as if she couldn't quite figure out Zhang Yuan.

With her arms crossed over her chest, her slender waist appeared even more delicate, and her cleavage made people's hearts burn even hotter.

Xun'er frowned slightly and muttered to herself, "Demon."

Zhang Yuan stared straight ahead at Master Gu Ni.

The latter asked in confusion, "Looking for me? Do you really think I'd step in and get this fourth-tier wind-elemental magic core for you?"

A fourth-tier wind-type magic core has a market price of 200,000, but if it comes from the Mittel auction, it is usually bought by the Gale family for 300,000 gold coins.

If Xiao Zhan were to participate in the bidding, the starting price would be 400,000, which is a difference of 100%.

If Yafei were to use some persuasive tactics and maneuvers to provoke the bidders, things would become even more unpredictable.

"Why not?" Zhang Yuan countered.

“Young man, you are somewhat ignorant.” Gu Ni said arrogantly, “If it were Xiao Zhan, I might ask him for help, but it is absolutely impossible for me to curry favor with the Mittel family.”

"What if I offer something that will move you, Master?" Zhang Yuan asked again.

“You are not only ignorant, but also arrogant.” Gu Ni shook his head and said, “If you can offer something that will tempt me, why don’t you just put it up for auction to make money and then compete for that magic core, instead of making me go through all this trouble?”

"Besides, I don't think you can offer me anything that will impress me."

Zhang Yuan smiled and said nothing more. Instead, he took out a scroll from his storage ring and handed it to Gu Ni.

Everyone around was completely bewildered, but Xiao Yan heard Yao Lao's voice of sudden realization: "So that's how it is. This kid is indeed incredibly intelligent."

Xiao Yan wanted to ask Yao Lao what he meant by those words, but the current situation did not allow it.

Master Gu Ni didn't understand what Zhang Yuan was up to, but he still took the scroll and opened it to take a look.

At first glance, he instinctively frowned.

At first glance, his pupils contracted.

At the third glance, his gaze turned fiery, and his expression became serious.

He opened the scroll further and continued reading.

After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, he became more and more engrossed in watching, occasionally saying things like, "So that's how it is," "It can actually be done like that," "I understand now," and "A stroke of genius."

When he had opened about a tenth of the scroll, a hand suddenly reached out.

"How brave!"

The scroll was taken away, and Master Gu Ni, who was engrossed in reading it, roared and immediately transformed his battle qi into armor to try and snatch it back.

"boom!"

A thunderous roar resounded, and Zhang Yuan, standing in front of Gu Ni, transformed into a silver-purple afterimage.

Gu Ni saw a flash of light, immediately released his soul power, and then chased after it.

Sounds kept coming from inside the private room, but Ya Fei and Xiao Yan could only see two points of light flickering.

"This kid's movement and fighting skills are quite good; his speed should be above most Great Dou Masters," Yao Chen commented to himself.

This made Xiao Yan extremely envious.

Although he knew his cousin was incredibly awesome, he wanted to be just as awesome.

"Senior, isn't it time to calm down? You're not planning to seize it by force, are you?"

Zhang Yuan appeared in his original spot, picked up his teacup, and the scroll was gone.

Two breaths later, Master Gu Ni appeared beside Ya Fei and looked at Zhang Yuan, saying, "Good lad, your speed is faster than that of an ordinary Grand Dou Master. As expected of the Black Armor Guard Captain, you are indeed outstanding."

Everyone: "."

Master Gu Ni, that's not what you just said.

Could that arrogant demeanor of a second-grade alchemist be restored?

"Am I now qualified to have your help, Master?" Zhang Yuan blew on his teacup.

“Enough, of course enough.” Gu Ni rubbed his hands together and said, “As long as you give me the scroll, I’ll get that wind-type magic core for you right away. I’ll even pay for it myself.”

Ya Fei, standing next to her, was completely dumbfounded.

Master Gu Ni didn't say that when he arrived.

Zhang Yuan smiled and said, "I knew that someone as warm-hearted as Master Gu Ni would definitely be willing to help. My judgment of people was indeed correct."

“That’s right, you have a good eye for people.” Gu Ni nodded in agreement.

Zhang Yuan observed Xiao Yan discreetly, noticing that his expression remained unchanged.

Clearly, this cousin traveled through time quite early and didn't know the "you have a good eye for people" meme, otherwise he would have laughed out loud.

“Master Gu Ni, I think it would be more appropriate for you to get your hands on the fourth-tier wind-type magic core first before you come to talk to me. What do you say?” Zhang Yuan stared at Gu Ni.

"My fault, my fault." Gu Ni nodded immediately and said, "I'll go right now."

Without saying goodbye to anyone, he turned and left hastily, as if afraid that he would lose his life if he was too slow.

"."

Ya Fei bit her lip and asked in confusion after Gu Ni left the private room, "Good brother, what is written in this scroll?"

Something that would warrant such probing from a second-grade alchemist must be extraordinary.

Curiosity also flickered in Xiao Zhan's and the others' eyes, but they didn't ask, since they were outside.

“It’s nothing too precious; it might not even be as valuable as a nice dress to you, sister.” Zhang Yuan raised his teacup, his meaning clear.

Ya Fei picked up the teapot and poured him tea with a reproachful look on her face, her peach blossom eyes seemingly capable of bewitching souls.

"Actually, it's just a third-grade alchemist's notes written by a high-level alchemist," Zhang Yuan said.

Ya Fei's pupils suddenly contracted.

Xiao Yan suddenly realized that Zhang Yuan had asked Yao Lao for a small favor before dinner, which must have been about this insight.

Xiao Zhan's eyes lit up, while Xun'er remained the most composed.

"What a grand gesture!" Ya Fei thought to herself in surprise.

Admittedly, this so-called third-grade alchemist's experience was useless to her; it was indeed not as good as a nice piece of clothing.

But this insight is useful to alchemists. Being able to use it to befriend an alchemist is something that no amount of beautiful clothes can compare to.

"Little brother, you're teasing your sister." Ya Fei leaned closer to Zhang Yuan and said in a sweet voice, "You just took out this item directly. I would have gladly given you a fourth-tier wind-type magic core."

“But at that time, Master Gu Ni’s favor would have gone to you, wouldn’t it?” Zhang Yuan ignored Ya Fei’s little tricks.

Things that can be solved with money should of course be solved with money. The Supreme Edition of the Third Grade Alchemist's Experience, written by the Old Master Yao, directly made Master Gu Ni owe a great favor. Isn't that great?

Ya Fei feigned sadness and said, "You still distinguish between me and me so clearly?"

She truly is a beauty; she can definitely act.

Having had enough fun, he casually unleashed a burst of battle energy.

Ya Fei was pulled backward by a force and sat down on the stool.

"Sister Yafei, please be quiet for a while. We can talk in detail when Master Gu Ni returns," Zhang Yuan said expressionlessly, then picked up the teapot and poured tea for Xun'er with a smile.

Yafei felt the urge to bite something again.

Why is she the one pouring tea for Zhang Yuan, while he pours tea for other women?

What's wrong with her?

Ya Fei herself didn't realize that she, who usually manipulated men's hearts, was being wantonly "manipulated" by Zhang Yuan.

Chapter 14: Consort Ya Bets Everything on Zhang Yuan

Ya Fei wanted to say something, but found that her mouth was covered by fighting spirit and she couldn't make a sound.

She tried to stand up, but felt a tingling sensation all over her body and couldn't move at all.

She could only stare at Zhang Yuan with a humiliated look, but the latter ignored her completely.

At this moment, Zhang Yuan's level of "dislike" in her heart was almost on par with that annoying guy Mu Zhan.

Xun'er smiled faintly, holding her teacup and asking curiously, "Brother Yuan, although the insights of a third-grade alchemist are only useful to alchemists, if they are auctioned, their price is higher than that of many fourth-grade pills. It would be too much of a loss to exchange them for a fourth-order wind-type magic core."

Alchemists hold a prestigious position, but not just anyone can establish a connection with them.

However, insights from advanced alchemists and some rather unique pill formulas can impress alchemists.

"Hmm~" Ya Fei's peach blossom eyes widened.

She also realized what Xun'er had said, and thought to herself that Zhang Yuan was ultimately too young.

She kept talking to Zhang Yuan, actually trying to disrupt his thoughts, but she didn't expect Xun'er to interfere.

“I understand that, of course.” Zhang Yuan glanced at Ya Fei and smiled. “I wasn’t lying earlier. The real person I came here to find is Master Gu Ni. The fourth-order wind-type magic core was just a side thing.”

Upon hearing this, Xun'er said nothing more. The reminder was meant to be a sign of concern, but she wouldn't concern herself with Zhang Yuan's decision.

Ya Fei stopped struggling and instead lowered her head to think about Zhang Yuan's true intentions.

Before long, Master Gu Ni returned, placed a jade box on the table next to Zhang Yuan, and then rubbed his hands together.

Zhang Yuan released his soul power to scan the contents of the two jade boxes, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong with them, he put them into his storage ring. He then said, "Master Gu Ni, do you think that a mere fourth-order wind-type magic core could be paired with that third-grade alchemist's insights written by a high-level alchemist?"

"It can't compare." Gu Ni shook his head honestly.

He benefited greatly from even a tenth of the contents of that scroll; the full contents would be even more invaluable.

"Hmm~" Ya Fei wanted to say something, but she couldn't break free from the control of her fighting spirit.
