Ya Fei watched both sides feigning smiles and conversing, each harboring their own ulterior motives, and sighed helplessly. Fortunately, the matter was temporarily resolved.
"I wonder if Your Excellency has a place to stay. If you don't mind, you can temporarily stay with us at Mitel."
After some back-and-forth, Miteer Tengshan's eyes flashed with a hint of a merchant's cunning. He smiled and asked Xiao Tian.
"Alright."
Xiao Tian was unsure of Miteer Tengshan's deeper intentions, nor did he know what Hai Bodong had told him, but confident in his own strength, he pondered for a moment and readily agreed.
"Ya Fei, arrange Xiao Tian, Your Excellency's accommodation. Do not be negligent."
Seeing Xiao Tian agree, Miteer Tengshan simply instructed Ya Fei.
"Yes, Great Elder."
Ya Fei accepted Miteer Tengshan's command.
"Xiao Tian, Little Brother, I'll take you to arrange your accommodation first. Ice Emperor, Supreme Elder, your medicinal ingredients…"
"No matter, I will arrange Hai Bodong's things properly. You just need to arrange Xiao Tian, Your Excellency's matters."
Miteer Tengshan directly interrupted Ya Fei.
Hearing this, Ya Fei pulled Xiao Tian and left the dilapidated study.
At this moment, a jade bottle flew directly from Xiao Tian's hand towards Miteer Tengshan.
Miteer Tengshan caught the jade bottle, opened the lid, poured out its contents, and after a careful examination, exclaimed in surprise.
"Is this a Rank 6 Dou Ling Pill?"
"That's right, it is indeed a Dou Ling Pill, and a perfect one at that."
This Dou Ling Pill was what he got from the legacy of Saint Radiance Golden Saint Xiao Tian had earlier. Xiao Tian had not yet consumed it because he had just made a significant breakthrough in his cultivation, and it was not suitable for him to take it in the short term.
Both of them looked with complex expressions at Xiao Tian's gradually receding figure.
This pill was given after Ya Fei had taken Xiao Tian away, meaning it was compensation for Ya Fei's actions this time and an expression of his regard for her, not because of the killing of Lei Ou.
"Xiao Tian, Little Brother, what is your current strength?"
On the way, Ya Fei held Xiao Tian's arm and asked with a sweet smile.
"Just a mere Dou King."
Xiao Tian felt the softness touching his arm and said with a smile.
"A mere Dou King?" Ya Fei stopped in her tracks, her mouth agape, her eyes filled with disbelief.
A Dou King was a top-tier existence in the Jia Ma Empire, capable of establishing their own sect. Among the top ten powerhouses in the Jia Ma Empire, only the first few were Dou Emperors; the rest were merely Dou Kings.
Even her own family's Great Elder was only a Dou King.
"If your Dou King is 'mere', then I, a small Dou Practitioner, will need this 'mere' Dou King to take good care of me."
Ya Fei playfully patted Xiao Tian's arm and winked at him with her captivating peach blossom eyes, full of charm.
Although Xiao Tian was already a Dou King, Xiao Tian, Little Brother, was still the Xiao Tian, Little Brother, she knew from before.
"It's not impossible, but I'm not someone who takes a loss. You'll have to give me some benefits."
Xiao Tian looked at Ya Fei with a mischievous smile, saying meaningfully.
…
The two talked continuously along the way, recounting various interesting stories from the past year or so.
Finally, Ya Fei stopped in front of a courtyard.
"Xiao Tian, Little Brother, this is the courtyard arranged for you. Let's go in and take a look."
The entire courtyard was very luxurious, paved with bluestone. The house was built with unknown wood, and the roof was adorned with many glazed tiles, highlighting its extravagance.
Entering the room, Xiao Tian looked around. There were many seemingly valuable ornaments inside, and all the necessities were available.
"Elder Ya Fei, the family is holding a family meeting. The Great Elder has invited you to attend."
Just then, a maid's voice came from outside the door.
Ya Fei looked at Xiao Tian, her eyes asking a question.
"Go ahead. I also need to go out a bit later."
Xiao Tian smiled and nodded. He probably guessed what the meeting was about.
"Then I'll go first. I'll take you to explore Jia Ma Holy City later."
Ya Fei looked at Xiao Tian with a gentle and charming gaze, saying with a smile.
After Ya Fei left, Xiao Tian waved his hand and appeared in the Eternal Dream Realm. Sensing that both were still in seclusion, with Little Fairy Doctor at a critical juncture of breakthrough, Xiao Tian appeared in Qing Lin's cultivation room and directly took out the Nine-Headed Serpent Soul what he get in Demon Flame Realm as he was going there for a walk, but he didn't go inside of that realm as he didn't want to die now.
"Qing Lin, this is a snake soul. I will help you implant it into your pupil space. Refine it, and it can enhance your strength."
Xiao Tian directly implanted the Nine-Headed Serpent Soul into Qing Lin's Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils space, entrusting Qing Lin to control and refine it.
Qing Lin didn't have time to think much and immediately began to circulate her cultivation technique and Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils to refine it.
Seeing that Qing Lin was fine, Xiao Tian reappeared in the room at the Mitel Auction House.
Xiao Tian jumped onto the roof and flew towards the northern direction outside Jia Ma Holy City.
Just after Xiao Tian left, in the reception hall of Mitel's headquarters.
It was filled with the elders, core members, and outstanding young talents of the Mittel Family.
Many old men with white hair sat cautiously on their chairs, respectfully looking at the elder at the head of the table.
"Hai Bodong, everyone is here." Miteer Tengshan, from below the head seat, respectfully said to the elder.
Other core members and young talents, who were unaware of Hai Bodong's identity, saw the usually strict Great Elder showing such a respectful expression and constantly speculated about the identity of the elder at the head seat.
"Tengshan, from now on, you will continue to manage the Mittel Family as usual. My current status will not interfere too much."
Hai Bodong thought that he had already joined Xiao Tian's Heaven Suppressing Hall and was now a member of the Heaven Suppressing Hall. At most, he would provide some protection out of past sentiment. Unless Mitel merged into the Heaven Suppressing Hall, it would only cause Xiao Tian's displeasure.
Hai Bodong held his teacup, looking at the water inside and falling into contemplation. He still had deep feelings for Mitel. The current Mitel was already at its peak, with no possibility of further advancement.
To go further and become stronger, there was only one path, but this path might not be traversable.
"This meeting is mainly to announce two things. The first is that Elder Lei Ou has been dealt with according to family rules for offending Hai Bodong. This matter is not to be discussed further."
Great Elder Miteer Tengshan, seeing that Hai Bodong remained silent, looked around and said in an indifferent tone.
Upon hearing this news, the entire hall fell into a dead silence, but everyone chose to keep their mouths shut, not daring to speak, not even daring to breathe loudly. Only Hai Bodong at the head seat quietly sipped his tea.
Although they had received news of a conflict at the auction house earlier, it seemed from this result that Lei Ou was gone. And seeing Miteer Tengshan's indifferent tone and calm expression,
Everyone knew that this was the Great Elder's most terrifying demeanor. Now, whoever dared to speak out and be a 'first bird' would instantly be stripped of everything.
"Ya Fei."
Miteer Tengshan's gaze fell on Ya Fei, who was sitting upright beside him, and he said with a gentle smile.
