Chapter 260 Guests at Wanyao Trading Firm, Xiao Yixian's Shock

Xiao Yixian, standing in front of Qi Lin and the two girls, heard their quiet discussion and her mouth twitched slightly.

Which noble family did these three young masters and young ladies run away from? Even if they were naive, wasn't this a bit too much?

It is said that a powerful dragon does not oppress a local snake. The Wolf Head Mercenary Group is one of Qingshan Town's three major mercenary groups, and its leader, Muli, is a Dou Shi expert.

These three young masters and young ladies are at most seventeen or eighteen years old. No matter how high their talent, could they be stronger than a Dou Shi?

Sigh!

Xiao Yixian sighed. Regardless, Ning Rongrong had just stood up for her.

She decided to let the three stay at Wanyao Trading Firm for a few days and then find someone to inform their backing forces. That way, their safety would surely be guaranteed.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yixian turned around and smiled slightly at Ning Rongrong: "Thank you very much for standing up for me just now."

Ning Rongrong, like a white swan, proudly raised her chin slightly.

"No need to thank me. I was already annoyed with that dog-headed mercenary group's young leader."

Xiao Yixian then continued: "Even so, Muli is after all the young leader of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group. How about you all stay as guests at Wanyao Trading Firm for a few days? I can help you contact your families."

Ning Rongrong's heart stirred upon hearing this. She turned her head, exchanged a look with Qi Lin and Xiao Wu, and smiled slyly.

"Alright, but staying as guests is fine. As for contacting our families, forget it, you wouldn't be able to reach them anyway."

Xiao Yixian was slightly taken aback. Although she didn't understand what Ning Rongrong meant by not being able to contact their families, she still nodded and said: "Alright then, please come in with me first. However, you'll need to wait a while, as I still have to see patients today."

"Then we'll trouble you!"

Subsequently, Xiao Yixian led the three into Wanyao Trading Firm.

Xiao Yixian first arranged for her assistant, Liffy, to take the three to the reception hall, while she herself sat in a relatively spacious area of the shop, treating one injured person after another.

It was a full hour later before Xiao Yixian finished work.

Coincidentally, dusk had arrived. She walked into the reception hall and introduced herself to Qi Lin and the two girls: "My name is Xiao Yixian. You should have heard my name. What about you all?"

"My name is Ning Rongrong. You can just call me Rongrong," Ning Rongrong replied with a smile, resuming her elegant demeanor.

Xiao Wu, as always, was carefree and seemed to have no hidden agenda.

"Hehe, my name is Xiao Wu, the Wu of dancing."

Finally, it was Qi Lin. He had a lazy appearance, with a hint of languidness in his demeanor.

"My name is Qi Lin!"

After getting to know each other, Xiao Yixian said: "This is not the true headquarters of Wanyao Trading Firm. Follow me."

After speaking, Xiao Yixian led Qi Lin and the two girls out the door.

Behind her, besides her assistant Liffy, there were also three Alchemists from Wanyao Trading Firm and four accompanying guards.

These four guards were the best fighters in Wanyao Trading Firm, with each of them having strength between a Four-star Dou Zhe and a Five-star Dou Zhe.

Under the escort of the four guards, the group turned a few streets, and a rather unique small manor came into view.

At the entrance of the manor stood more than a dozen well-equipped guards. Upon seeing Xiao Yixian arrive, they all saluted her with a hint of respect.

Xiao Yixian smiled and pointed.

"We're here!"

With that, Xiao Yixian walked ahead and led Qi Lin and the two girls into the manor.

Afterward, she first took Qi Lin and the two girls to meet Mr. Yao, the owner of Wanyao Trading Firm, explaining to him that they would be staying as temporary guests for a few days.

Mr. Yao was a middle-aged man who looked about forty years old. When he learned that Qi Lin and the two girls had offended Muli, his brows furrowed slightly, showing a hint of displeasure at Xiao Yixian's unauthorized decision to bring the three to Wanyao Trading Firm.

Although Wanyao Trading Firm was not afraid of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group, he also did not want to offend them because of three unrelated outsiders.

However, Xiao Yixian had Mr. Yao's personality perfectly figured out. Seeing his expression, she subtly hinted that Qi Lin and the two girls had extraordinary backgrounds and were likely young masters and young ladies from a major force.

Upon hearing this, Mr. Yao immediately saw a potential benefit. His attitude towards Qi Lin and the two girls instantly changed, becoming more polite.

Ning Rongrong, seeing this, quietly let out a "Tsk."

Qi Lin and Xiao Wu, one was lazily casual, and the other was looking around, showing no signs of restraint at all.

And when Mr. Yao saw their demeanor, he became even more convinced of Xiao Yixian's statement.

These three, at first glance, were young masters and young ladies from a major force. If he protected them well, when their backing forces arrived, they would surely give him some treasures as a reward, right?

Mr. Yao thought to himself that he didn't ask for much, perhaps a Xuan-rank cultivation method or Dou Technique, anything would do.

"Xiao Yixian, these three young friends are entrusted to your care. Be sure to entertain them well. As for the Wolf Head Mercenary Group, leave them to me."

Xiao Yixian's pretty face bloomed with a smile upon hearing this.

"Leave it to me!"

Mr. Yao smiled and nodded.

Meanwhile, the shifty-looking man who was initially with Muli was now accompanied by five or six others, their gaze fixed from afar on the manor where Wanyao Trading Firm was located.

"Brother Rat, the targets have entered Wanyao Trading Firm. What do we do now?" one of them asked.

The shifty-looking man, known as Brother Rat, frowned deeply and stroked his chin, then looked at the people beside him and instructed: "You all stay here and keep a close eye. If the targets make any moves, follow them immediately."

"Yes, Brother Rat!" the few people replied in unison.

The shifty-looking man then said: "Alright, I'll go report the situation here to the young leader first."

With that, the shifty-looking man turned and left.

...

Wanyao Trading Firm!

Xiao Yixian found a delicate and tranquil courtyard for Qi Lin and the two girls.

"You'll have to make do with staying here for the next few days."

Qi Lin smiled and said: "Thank you for the trouble."

Xiao Yixian smiled faintly.

"It's no trouble at all. Didn't you all stand up for me just now? That young leader of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group has been harassing me for a long time, and I'm very disgusted by him too."

Xiao Wu patted her chest and said: "Leave that guy to us. Don't worry, we'll definitely take care of him before we leave."

Xiao Yixian shook her head and smiled, not wanting to discourage Xiao Wu.

Muli was not that easy to deal with. If it were the forces behind the three, that would be more like it.

"By the way, which force are you from? I'll send someone to deliver a message to your backing force and explain the situation here clearly. This is not a game."

"Oh, Xiao Yixian, that's really not necessary, and you wouldn't be able to contact our backing force anyway," Xiao Wu said.

Qi Lin, on the other hand, was even more direct, snapping his fingers lightly.

The next second, a wisp of flame immediately emerged from his fingertip.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Yixian's expression instantly became incredibly astonished, and she exclaimed in surprise.

"Sub...Substantial flame!"

"You're a Fourth-grade Alchemist!"
