The next day.

While Xiao Yi, who had been cultivating all night, was still fast asleep, a series of urgent knocks suddenly sounded at the door.

"Young Master Yi, the clan leader requests your presence in the main hall!"

The old butler's frail voice could be heard from outside.

Xiao Yi opened his sleepy eyes, responded, and then followed the old butler to the main hall.

At this moment, in the hall, there was still the familiar Xiao Zhan, as well as the three elders.

Today, however, there was an extra young man lying on the bench, none other than Xiao Ning, whose leg had been crippled by Xiao Yi yesterday.

Upon seeing Xiao Yi's arrival, before Xiao Zhan could speak, the First Elder stood up first and shouted.

"Xiao Yi, do you know your crime!"

The elder's eyes were filled with rage as he glared fiercely at Xiao Yi, his expression as if he wanted to devour him alive.

Xiao Zhan's face didn't show much expression; he simply turned his head slightly to glance at the Grand Elder, signaling him not to lose his composure.

Then, looking at Xiao Yi in the hall, he said softly:

"Yi'er, did you inflict this injury on Xiao Ning?"

Faced with Xiao Zhan's question, Xiao Yi nodded calmly:

"yes!"

Xiao Yi remained calm and composed, without blushing or skipping a beat.

Seeing Xiao Yi's appearance, the First Elder was displeased:

"Xiao Yi! You've really gone too far!"

"Xiao Ning is your cousin! Why take this kind of childish play so seriously!"

"Moreover, Ning'er has already reached the eighth level of Dou Qi at such a young age; she will surely become a genius of our Xiao family in the future!"

Xiao Yi looked up at the Grand Elder and said in a deep voice, "A genius? A genius who reached the eighth level of Dou Qi by relying on medicinal herbs?"

"Elder, who in the clan doesn't know where Xiao Ning's eighth-level Dou Qi came from!"

Upon hearing this, the First Elder's face instantly turned red, and he turned to look at Xiao Zhan with some fear, while Xiao Zhan could only sigh helplessly.

After all, Xiao Zhan had long been aware of what the Grand Elder had done, but he had always turned a blind eye and had not investigated further.

Seeing that Xiao Zhan remained silent, the Grand Elder continued his incessant nagging: "Xiao Yi, no matter what, you must give me an explanation regarding Xiao Ning!"

Xiao Yi merely gave a slight, cold laugh: "An explanation? If I were lying on that bench today, would you, Elder, give me an explanation?"

"Xiao Ning is usually arrogant and domineering. You couldn't possibly be unaware of everything, could you? I'm just doing this to teach him a lesson so he won't cause trouble outside the Xiao family in the future..."

Xiao Yi spoke casually, showing no sign of feeling he had done anything wrong.

The Grand Elder, upon hearing Xiao Yi's words, instantly turned red with anger, his aura erupting as he pointed at Xiao Yi: "Xiao Yi, don't think that just because you've returned to the Dou Zhe realm, you can act so lawlessly!"

"Enough! No wonder the Grand Elder disregarded his status and attacked a junior!"

After a long silence, Xiao Zhan suddenly slammed his hand on the bench and shouted.

Seeing that Xiao Zhan was truly angry, the First Elder immediately backed down.

After all, Xiao Zhan is now the true patriarch of the Xiao family, and also the strongest person in the family.

Immediately, Xiao Zhan looked at Xiao Yi gently and said, "Yi'er, you should step back now. You must never act so impulsively again..."

"Chieftain, are we just going to let this matter drop?"

The elder looked on incredulously.

Xiao Zhan merely glanced coldly at the First Elder: "Then what should we do? Break Xiao Yi's legs as well? Personally cripple our Xiao family's rare genius?"

Upon hearing this, the Grand Elder fell silent and could only swallow his bitter pill.

With Xiao Zhan's protection, the matter was dropped.

Seeing this, Xiao Yi wanted to leave, but Xiao Zhan spoke again:

"Yi'er, wait a moment..."

Xiao Zhan waved his hand, calling Xiao Yi to the back hall.

With a gentle smile, she said, "A two-star Dou Zhe in just half a month, you're quite something, kid. That's even faster than before..."

Xiao Yi chuckled and scratched his head: "I really couldn't hide it from you..."

Xiao Zhan is a five-star Great Dou Master. While that strength isn't considered particularly strong, it's still enough for him to see through Xiao Yi's abilities.

"Pack your things, and come with me somewhere this afternoon..."

Xiao Zhan said with a smile.

Xiao Yi: "? I'll accompany you? Where's Xiao Yan?"

Xiao Zhan: "We rarely see that kid, so we won't call him this time..."

Xiao Yi nodded. Although he didn't know where Xiao Zhan was going to take him, he still agreed.

……

Mittel Auction House, the largest auction house in Utan City.

It also belongs to the wealthiest family in the Gama Empire: the Mittel family!

Looking at the enormous venue before him, Xiao Yi couldn't help but feel a little confused.

"Uncle Xiao, why did you bring me here today?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhan smiled slightly: "What else can an auction house do? It naturally holds auctions..."

"Now that you've regained your fighting spirit, I thought I should at least buy you some pills to stabilize it..."

"At the same time, let's also see if there are any medicinal herbs that could help Yan'er..."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi couldn't help but feel a little moved.

It must be said that since transmigrating, Xiao Yi has never met his father or mother, and has been with Xiao Yan since childhood.

Xiao Zhan treated him like his own son, and he never lacked anything Xiao Yan had.

To be able to do this, it must be said that Xiao Zhan is indeed a good person!

"Come on, let me show you around today!"

Xiao Zhan smiled and then led Xiao Yi into the venue.

As the patriarch of the three major families in Wutan City, Xiao Zhan is a super VIP at the Mittel Auction House!

So as soon as the two of them reached the entrance, a dedicated waiter immediately came up to them and led them to the VIP seats at the very front of the auction house.

As expected of the largest auction house in Utan City, the Mittel Auction House was already packed with people and bustling with activity.

If Xiao Yi hadn't been following Xiao Zhan, it would have been difficult for him to get in on his own.

Xiao Yi followed Xiao Zhan to the VIP seats in the front row and sat down. After looking around, he realized that today's auction was not only for Xiao Zhan.

The heads of the other two major families in Utan City, the Gale family and the Oba family, actually came.

I imagine today's auction items will be a bit different...

At this moment, cheers erupted one after another in the already bustling venue.

Amid cheers, a beautiful woman slowly walked out from the center of the venue.

Chief Auctioneer at Mittel Auction House: Ya Fei!

The beauty of Wutan City is known to all. Her mature and charming style, coupled with her extremely enviable figure, makes it difficult for any man to resist her.

Xiao Yi couldn't help but look at Ya Fei's voluptuous and alluring curves on the high platform.

"This Consort Ya truly lives up to her reputation!"

"No wonder she's called a little fairy..."

Xiao Yi couldn't help but mutter to himself.

But at that moment, Xiao Xuan's voice suddenly rang in Xiao Yi's mind:

"Hey kid, stop looking at pretty girls!"

"There seem to be some of your friends on that high platform in front of you..."
