"Ai, this old mister is really too forthright. However, it's fortunate that I just asked about the medicinal ingredients needed for the healing medicine. In the future, let us worry about the medicinal ingredients. The Xiao family has already obtained too many benefits from him. If they continue to be greedy, I'm afraid that the losses will outweigh the gains.”Xiao Zhan took out a piece of paper from his pocket and muttered.
"Yes." The three elders hurriedly nodded at Xiao Zhan's words. If it weren't for Xiao Zhan's meticulous mind, they would have forgotten about it.
"Patriarch, three Elders, the young lady Ya Fei of the Primer Auction House is outside the clan.”A clansman quickly ran into the hall and respectfully said,”Hearing this, Xiao Zhan was startled and quickly said,""Please."
Not long after the clan members went out to report, a lithe and lovely figure slowly appeared in their sight. A lovely laughter that caused one's bones to feel numb was also transmitted into the hall,"Haha, Patriarch Xiao is really proud of himself recently.”Xiao She leaned his head against the back of the cold chair and looked at the door. A mature woman in a red cheongsam stood beside the door with a smile.
A tight-fitting red cheongsam wrapped around her exquisite and voluptuous curves to the fullest. Her water-snake-like waist swayed in a graceful arc that made people drool. At the hem of the cheongsam, there was a slit that extended straight to her thighs. As she walked, the snow-white glow dazzled people's eyes. The spring scenery was faintly discernible, seducing people's hearts."Demon."
"Ahem." Coughing dryly, Xiao Zhan stood up with a smile," Miss Ya Fei, you really like to joke. Our Xiao Family's annual profit is not even comparable to a branch of your Primer Auction House. What qualifications do we have to be proud of ourselves?"”
"Hehe, Patriarch Xiao sure knows how to talk. Recently, the popularity of the Xiao Clan's market has far surpassed that of the auction house.”Ya Fei smiled and bowed to the three Elders in the hall. Her bright eyes blinked and her alluring eyes slowly moved to Xiao She by the side. She was slightly startled as she said in a somewhat surprised voice,"Looking at Young Master Xiao She's current state, he seems to be a little stronger?”
Xiao She nodded." I am indeed stronger."”
"May I know why Miss Ya Fei came to the Xiao family today?”Xiao Zhan asked with a smile.
Ya Fei smiled and nodded. She elegantly sat down on the chair beside Xiao She. Pursing her red lips, she went straight to the point and said,"Patriarch Xiao, the Primer Auction House has already refused to provide any more medicinal ingredients to the Jia Lie clan.”
As soon as he said this, the teacup in Xiao Zhan's hand spilled on the table. A hint of ecstasy flashed across his eyes as he wiped the tea off his face. He glanced at the three elders and found that their eyes were also shining with splendor. The hall was silent for a moment. Xiao Zhan drank the tea in his teacup and said hesitantly,"Why? Haven't you always been neutral?"
Ya Fei smiled but didn't say anything. Gritting her teeth, Xiao Zhan asked in a low voice,"What do you want us to pay for doing this?”
"I don't need anything." Ya Fei smiled sweetly,"Eh?" Stunned once again, Xiao Zhan looked at the smiling Ya Fei in disbelief. He did not believe that the Primer Auction House would help them attack the Jia Lie Clan without paying any price. Rubbing his chin, Xiao Zhan's heart suddenly moved and he asked softly,"Yes... Did that old man do it?"
Pouting her red lips, Ya Fei nodded slightly and said with a smile,"That old man has already paid the price, so clan leader Xiao doesn't need to worry about us asking for anything from the Xiao clan. From now on, we can be considered to be on the same side.”Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhan's face was finally filled with ecstasy. He threw his head back and laughed a few times, causing the house to shake slightly. Slowly, he stopped laughing. Xiao Zhan suddenly realized that he seemed to have lost his mind. He lowered his head and saw the three elders curling their mouths helplessly.
Smiling awkwardly, Xiao Zhan looked at Xiao She, who was looking at him, and couldn't help but shout out in embarrassment,""Little snake, hurry up and serve tea to miss Ya Fei.”The latter took a cup of warm tea from the table and then ran to Ya Fei and handed it over with both hands,
Ya Fei gently smiled at Xiao She and took the teacup from his hand. However, her pretty face suddenly changed slightly. A pair of pretty eyes stared intently at the black ring on Xiao She's right hand. Seeing Ya Fei's gaze, Xiao She withdrew his hand and narrowed his eyes to stare at the beauty in front of him. Being stared at by Xiao She, Ya Fei sensibly lowered her head and sipped her tea. The expression on her face was also very well restrained.
Seeing this beautiful woman's obedient behavior, Xiao She returned to his seat. After chatting with Xiao Zhan and the others for a while, Ya Fei decided to bid farewell. Xiao She followed her enthusiastically. Under Xiao Zhan's satisfied gaze, he sent Ya Fei out of the family. They walked out of the main gate of the family. It seemed that he had no intention of going back, but still followed Ya Fei.
Ya Fei's heart was a little nervous. Her tightly clenched jade-like hands were covered in sweat. Her memory was extremely outstanding. The last time at the auction, she had coincidentally seen the hands of that mysterious black-robed alchemist. They were as fair and energetic as a youth. Moreover, on those fair hands, there was an identical black ring. With this coincidental beginning, she thought about why that mysterious alchemist would favor the Xiao clan so much. It seemed like it was about to be revealed.
The back of Ya Fei's teeth gently bit her red lips. The corner of Ya Fei's eyes secretly sized up the young man beside her. Ya Fei still found it hard to believe that the person who had shocked her and Gu Ni into submission in the auction house was actually a handsome young man who was only seventeen years old.”Just as Ya Fei was bitterly smiling helplessly, the youth beside her faintly spoke.
Ya Fei's footsteps slowed slightly as she sighed,"You."。。。。。Should I call you old mister? Or little brother Xiao She?"
"Let's go in." Ya Fei followed his gaze and looked over. Her face couldn't help but turn red. So the place Xiao She was pointing at was a famous place for lovers to meet in Wu Tan City. After hesitating for a moment, Ya Fei originally wanted to suggest a change of place, but Xiao She had already walked in and sat down on the stone chair under the green willow tree. Ya Fei could only helplessly shake her head and slowly walked forward. She sat down opposite Xiao She with a pair of alluring long and narrow beautiful eyes. She sized up the young man in front of her with sparkling eyes.
"You've already recognized it?"
Ya Fei's jade-like hand brushed past the emotional threads that had fallen on her forehead. Her casual demeanor caused the eyes of a man not far away to straighten. He pursed his red lips and bitterly laughed,"Actually, I would rather believe that I was wrong.”As soon as she finished speaking, Ya Fei immediately felt a chill. The change in the youth's eyes made her feel very uncomfortable, but after thinking about it, she ruled out many things.”She said somewhat timidly. However, a smile flashed across her beautiful eyes.
"Such a beautiful beauty, it would be a pity to kill her. Hiding her and slowly enjoying her is a name decision, big sister Ya Fei.”Xiao She stared at Ya Fei in front of him for quite a while. After which, he seemed to have made a decision as he solemnly said. The meaning of his words was self-evident. Ya Fei's pretty face blushed slightly as she coquettishly rolled her eyes at him and said,"Why would a child learn so many bad things?”
"The black-robed man who previously discussed business with you was indeed me.”
"However, the person who refined the medicine shouldn't be you, right?”Ya Fei's eyes moved as she smiled and said. She was not a fool. Even if Xiao She was an alchemist, he would not be able to refine a medicinal pill of the grade of the Qi Gathering Powder due to the level restriction.
"You should know why I'm looking for you. Help me keep my identity a secret. This is good for everyone. Don't use this as a bargaining chip to threaten me, because it's useless.”
"Do I look like a brainless woman with big breasts?”Ya Fei innocently spread her hands.
Hearing Ya Fei's words, Xiao She stood up and leaned forward to stare at Ya Fei's chest," Sister Ya Fei, although you are not stupid, I have to say that your chest is very full. I really want to try what it feels like to touch it."”
“。。。。。。”Being taken advantage of by a youth who was several years younger, Ya Fei could only shake her head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.”Ya Fei then stared at Xiao She with a slightly nervous expression. This was the question she wanted to ask the most.
"Since you refuse to provide the Jia Lie Clan with medicinal ingredients, I will pay you five qi-gathering elixirs as compensation.”
"Hehe, I look forward to our cooperation.”Ya Fei gracefully extended her jade-like hand as she sweetly smiled. She held her delicate hand and Xiao She couldn't help but pinch it, causing the latter to roll his eyes at him,"Sister Ya Fei, your hand feels very comfortable. In the future, you should use your previous attitude when you meet, otherwise, others will see through your flaws."”Then, he stood up and walked out.
Less than a month after the Blood Coagulation Powder was released, the Xiao clan had already taken over seventy percent of the healing medicine market in Wu Tan City. The huge profits caused the Xiao clan to be filled with joy. The somewhat sparse courtyard a while ago was now as lively as a market. Compared to the Xiao clan and the Jia Lie clan, it was gloomy. Due to the profiteering behavior of the Xiao clan a while ago, it had aroused the disgust of a large number of mercenaries.
The Xiao Clan's Blood Coagulation Powder was much more effective than the Rejuvenation Powder, and the Jia Lie Clan's healing medicine business had been suppressed by the Xiao Clan until it was unable to move. If it wasn't for the fact that the Xiao Clan's daily supply of healing medicine was limited, the Jia Lie Clan would have been left with nothing but soup. However, although the healing medicine business had shrunk, the profits from it were still not small.
However, what gave the Jia Lie Clan the greatest headache was the large amount of medicinal ingredients needed to concoct medicine. The Primer Auction House had already refused to cooperate with them. The Jia Lie Clan also gnashed their teeth in hatred towards this kind of medicinal ingredient blockade. However, no matter how great the anger in their hearts was, they did not dare to force the Primer Auction House.
