I Said You Would Thank Me

"Thank you??? You crippled someone's hand and you want thanks?? Should we thank you for not crippling the other one too!" Ya Fei looked at Xiao Yan with astonishment, seeing the pale-faced youth howling in pain.

Three years had passed, and this guy was still so ruthless. Even a beauty like Nalan Yanran hadn't escaped his clutches back then.

The two guards were at a loss, unsure whether to grab Xiao Yan. It was clear they couldn't beat him; their strength was inferior to the youth's.

"Let's go. It's just a small matter. I came to the auction house to buy some things," Xiao Yan said with a smile, urging her.

"But..."

"No buts. It's fine. I'm a major shareholder now," Xiao Yan said, gently pushing Ya Fei's back with his right hand as they headed upstairs.

Seeing Xiao Yan leading Ya Fei away, Hai Bo Dong retracted the icy energy from his palm and followed them.

"Little bastard!! Even if Ya Fei protects you today, don't think you'll leave the auction house in one piece. I'll take your life!!"

Hearing the venomous roar, Xiao Yan shook his head helplessly. It seemed someone was going to die today.

Finally, the three of them ascended several floors, arriving at the VIP room on the sixth floor. The first five floors were occupied by the auction house or shops, while the sixth and seventh floors were reserved for the Mittel Family and their warehouses.

"Thank you, Xiao Yan. I know you acted on my behalf," Ya Fei said, walking behind the desk and sitting down, her red lips slightly pursed.

She gave a wry smile and said, "That guy is called Lei Le, and he's also a member of the Mittel Family. He has some strong backing, and I usually don't want to offend him."

"However, that guy seems to have some disgusting ideas about me. My ignoring him has only made him angrier, and he's been causing trouble for me every day. His grandfather is in the family's Elder Council and has some influence. This matter started because of me, and I'll resolve it," Ya Fei said, brushing a strand of hair from her forehead, looking somewhat weary. It seemed that the youth named Lei Le had indeed caused her a lot of trouble.

"You can't be kind to people like that. If he dares to come again, it won't just be one hand he loses," Xiao Yan said, his eyes narrowing with a hint of ferocity.

Ya Fei's delicate face once again displayed a gentle smile like spring water as she gazed at Xiao Yan, her voice soft and full of charm. "Let's not talk about unpleasant things. What do you need?"

Xiao Yan quickly wrote down the ingredients for the Rejuvenating Spirit Purple Pill and handed them to Ya Fei, saying, "Can you help me see if these ingredients can be gathered?"

"I knew it. You would never come to a place like the auction house for no reason," Ya Fei said, taking the paper and giving Xiao Yan a charming glance that made his heart beat faster.

Ya Fei lowered her head and quickly scanned the names of the ingredients. A look of astonishment flashed across her pretty face. As an excellent auction house manager, she was naturally experienced and could immediately tell that these ingredients were precious, indicating that the grade of the pill being refined was not low.

She looked up at Xiao Yan and said, "These ingredients are not ordinary. Some of them, I've only heard of their names."

Xiao Yan spread his hands and said, "That's why I came to the Gama Empire's largest auction house to find them."

After pondering for a moment, Ya Fei shook her head regretfully and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, but I'm afraid even the Gama Empire's largest auction house will have difficulty gathering them all at once. After all, some of these ingredients are too rare and would be suitable for the Mystic Rank auction. The remaining ones are also extremely expensive. I can probably gather about two-thirds of them, but they won't be cheap."

"It's okay, two-thirds is fine. We'll try our luck at the Alchemist Guild for the rest," Xiao Yan said, not minding. Besides, he hadn't reached the fifth rank yet.

"But, Xiao Yan, these ingredients will cost more than a million gold coins. Do you have that much money?" A million gold coins! Even the Xiao Clan, which had unified the entire Wutan City, probably didn't have that much profit in a year.

Xiao Yan touched his nose and looked at Hai Bo Dong, saying, "I don't have that much, but..."

Hai Bo Dong curled his lips. The unspoken rule of alchemy was that the alchemist had to provide the ingredients himself! "This should be enough," Hai Bo Dong said, directly throwing out a black card. He didn't directly use his former authority to get them for free.

After all, he had been gone for more than twenty years.

Looking at the purple-gold black card, a hint of surprise flashed in Ya Fei's beautiful eyes. This was a black card that only those with the strength of a Dou Wang or higher could possess!

Ya Fei quickly put on a polite smile, not even bothering to verify the authenticity of the black card, and said respectfully, "Please wait a moment, sir. The ingredients will be delivered soon."

Ya Fei stamped her seal, handed the list of ingredients to the maid beside her, and instructed, "Gather as much as possible."

Hearing Ya Fei's actions, even Hai Bo Dong nodded in satisfaction.

Afterward, Ya Fei chatted with Xiao Yan. Occasionally, she would be amused by Xiao Yan's corny jokes and cover her mouth to giggle.

"Mittel Ya Fei!! I'm not done with you!!" Just then, a furious roar came from outside the door. An old man, accompanied by Lei Le, whose severed limb had been restored with precious medicine, burst into the room, his eyes filled with resentment.

The old man exuded a powerful aura, revealing himself to be a Dou Ling! Seeing Lei Le's venomous gaze, Xiao Yan knew that the young man's good days were truly over.

"Elder Lei Ou, this is a VIP room. Please leave. If there's anything, I'll explain it to the family head. You can't afford to offend the distinguished guests," Ya Fei said in a deep voice, hinting at the situation.

Ever since seeing the purple-gold black card, Ya Fei finally understood why Xiao Yan was so confident. Even if he killed Lei Le, the profit-driven Mittel Family would only try to appease the old man before them and wouldn't pursue the matter too much.

Lei Ou, in his rage, couldn't understand Ya Fei's good intentions. With a furious roar, he directly attacked.

"You severed my grandson's arm. Today, I'll make you pay back with interest!!" Lei Ou charged towards Xiao Yan, his hands surrounded by Dou Qi, even using a Dou Technique, intending to retaliate in kind.

Xiao Yan calmly sat on the sofa and said indifferently, "Hai Lao, this cancan be barely considered be considered your family matter. You decide how to handle it."

Several ice needles instantly condensed. With a poof sound, Hai Bo Dong didn't hesitate at all, pinning Lei Ou to the wall, his limbs instantly frozen by the icy energy.

After taking a light sip of the hot tea, Hai Bo Dong said faintly, "Have that coward Mittel Tengshan come to see me. Just tell him that I, Hai Bo Dong, have returned."

Ya Fei stared blankly at Hai Bo Dong, who was sitting in the chair, her small, rosy mouth slightly open. Mittel Tengshan was not only one of the top ten powerhouses in the Gama Empire, a Dou Wang, but also the head of the Mittel Family! Truly second to none! Yet, in this old man's mouth, he had become a coward?! "As for what to do with you two, let that coward Tengshan decide."

Seeing Lei Ou nailed to the wall, Lei Le had long been scared witless, collapsing onto the ground, his whole body trembling. At this moment, he couldn't help but recall a sentence Xiao Yan had said not long ago: Thank me, I saved your life.
