Chapter 31: Instructions
"All of you go down!"
After everyone left, the woman came to the window alone, her charming face full of sorrow, staring blankly at the sky in the distance, and whispered softly:
"Do I, Miteer Ya Fei, really have to accept my fate like this?"
In aristocratic families, if you are a man, even if you don't have the talent for cultivation, you will be laughed at at most, but you will have no worries about food and clothing. The family will even let you marry a wife early, expand the clan, and hope to give birth to offspring with excellent talents.
But it's different for women. Without the talent for cultivation, you are almost a commodity with a clear price tag. The price of this commodity is measured by appearance. The better the appearance, the greater the value. It can be used for family marriage and can be used to win over the strong.
Ya Fei didn't want this. She knew that she had no worries about food and clothing since she was a child because of her family. She could also contribute to the family, but she didn't want to do it this way.
The Miteer family is a business family. She was influenced by them since she was a child. After knowing that she had no talent for cultivation, she devoted herself to business and showed a high talent for business, hoping to avoid being sacrificed by the family in the future.
But her outstanding appearance is more valuable in the eyes of the family's top leaders, who believe that this can bring greater benefits to the family.
She was unwilling to accept this, so she made this trip to Wutan City.
"Women in the world who don't have the talent for cultivation can't be independent, should they be manipulated by others?"
A voice full of unwillingness and melancholy sounded on the top floor of the Miteer auction house. No one responded, and no one could answer.
After Xiao Bai walked out of the Miteer auction house, he felt that someone was staring at him, and the eyes came from the top floor of the Miteer auction house.
Looking back and looking up, he saw two figures, a man and a woman.
Xiao Bai knew that the woman should be Ya Fei. As for the old man, the only one who could stand with her in the Miteer auction house was the second-grade Alchemist Gu Ni.
"What's wrong, Brother Bai?" Xiao Yan asked curiously when he saw him looking back and looking at something.
Following his line of sight, he saw a charming and mature figure. He seemed to understand something and teased:
"Brother Bai, why don't we go back and talk to their boss? Anyway, he just wanted to make some good connections with us. See if we can help you meet?"
Xiao Bai retracted his gaze and glanced at him, spitting out a word.
"Get lost!"
After saying that, he walked away with a wave of his sleeves.
"Brother Bai... Don't be embarrassed! Otherwise, I will help you talk to him! Brother Bai, Brother Bai, wait for me!" Xiao Yan shouted and chased after him.
Xiao Bai was too lazy to pay attention to this guy who had been looking mean and coquettish since yesterday. He pretended not to hear and walked towards the Xiao family.
The two returned to the Xiao family one after the other. Seeing that Xiao Bai did not enter the door, Xiao Yan stood at the gate and hurriedly walked up to complain:
"Brother Bai, why are you walking so fast? If you don't want to go, then don't go. Why are you running?"
Xiao Bai glanced at him. He stood here just to wait for this guy. He still had something to say.
"Follow me!"
The two came to Xiao Bai's courtyard. After sitting down at the stone table in the courtyard, Xiao Bai looked at Xiao Yan and said seriously:
"Don't tell anyone about what happened in the blacksmith shop today, including your father, understand?"
"Why? Now that all the senior executives of the Jia Lie family are dead, the Xiao family can now swallow up all of his family's assets in Wutan City. As for the Ao Ba family, with you, Brother Bai, we are not afraid of his family!"
Xiao Yan was a little confused. He had been thinking before that he would tell his father about this when he came back, so that he could swallow up all of the Jia Lie family before all parties reacted.
Xiao Bai knew he would do this, so he brought this guy here to give him some instructions.
"Before you fulfill your three-year agreement, the Xiao family should not be too prominent. Don't ask why, just do what I say!" Xiao Bai waved his hand.
It was not unreasonable for him to ask Xiao Yan to do this. At the current time point, Yun Shan of Yunlan Sect must have been in the shape of a Soul Palace, and the Xiao family should not make too much noise at this time.
It is better to be careful, this is Xiao Bai's code of conduct.
After all, the original novel is a novel, with the halo of the protagonist, but now is reality, and we can't just rely on the development in the original novel. Who knows if there will be any changes in the timeline because of ourselves.
Besides, he also needs time to plan to avoid the fate of the Xiao family being destroyed in the original novel, so it's right to be low-key at this time.
The Ao Ba family is backed by the Intel family, one of the three major families in the empire, and it can't be dealt with like the Jia Lie family, at least not now.
"Brother Bai, why do you attach so much importance to the three-year agreement? This is me breaking off the engagement! Not you!"
Xiao Yan felt that Brother Bai seemed to attach more importance to this day than he did, and couldn't help asking.
The old medicine in the ring was also a little confused. Xiao Bai seemed to be a little afraid of Yunlan Sect.
This kid was calm in front of him. It was said that Yunlan Sect had only one Dou Huang, so how could he be so cautious.
"Xiao Bai boy, do you know something? Tell me and see, maybe I can help you!"
This is the old medicine floating out of the ring, touching his beard and said.
Thinking that although he is not at his peak now, he might be able to help with his knowledge.
Xiao Bai secretly rolled his eyes, do you think you are Chu Gangchang? You will be thankful if you don't send it in then.
"No need to say more now, just do as I say, and you will know when the time comes!"
Seeing that he was unwilling to say more, the two did not ask any more.
At this time, Xiao Bai handed a ring in his hand to Xiao Yan and said:
"There are your herbs in it, take it!"
Xiao Yan took the ring and recognized it as the one of the elder of the Jia Lie family. He took it from the old man himself.
He played with it in his hand for a while, and probed his soul into it. Sure enough, the herbs in his boxes were all in it.
After taking them all out, Xiao Yan handed the ring back to Xiao Bai.
However, Xiao Bai did not reach out to take it. He waved his hand and said, "Keep it yourself. It's a gift for your rebirth!"
Xiao Yan was a little surprised, but a little embarrassed and said, "Brother Bai, it's too expensive. This is not good!"
"It's just a low-level storage ring. It looks precious now, but when you leave the Jia Ma Empire in the future, you will find it too small to use!"
Xiao Bai said indifferently. Although he didn't have this thing before today, it was indeed not considered important.
Xiao Yan saw that Xiao Bai really gave it to him, and he didn't care whether Xiao Bai was bragging or not. He happily put it on his hand and kept taking those medicinal materials in and out, having a lot of fun!
"Hehe. Thank you, Brother Bai!" Xiao Yan said with a smile.
"Okay, get out of here if you have nothing to do!" Xiao Bai started to drive people away. He was still in a hurry to try to refine the elixir, so he didn't have time to watch this kid grinning foolishly.
"By the way, Brother Bai, my father told me that there will be an auction at Miteer Auction House in a couple of days. It will be hosted by the woman upstairs today! Are you going?"
