Xiao Xun'er's Compensation

"If there's no compensation, then Xiao Yan's matter will be rather difficult to handle." Flowing Cloud openly threatened Xiao Xun'er.

Now that Nameless had also broken through to become an Eight-star Dou Huang, he no longer needed to be overly wary of the Shadow Emperor behind Xiao Xun'er.

"You!"

Hearing the threat in Flowing Cloud's words, Xiao Xun'er's expression changed, and she immediately wanted to make a move.

But when she remembered that his strength seemed to surpass hers, she promptly dismissed the thought.

"Flowing Cloud, I know the force behind you is not weak, but if you think that having a Dou Huang backing you means you can act recklessly, then one day, you will regret it."

Then, the young girl's clear voice, carrying a faint chill, rang out in the courtyard.

"The Dou Qi Continent is vast, immensely vast. There are many, many existences stronger than Dou Huangs..."

At those words, Flowing Cloud's expression shifted slightly, but he quickly returned to normal.

Naturally, he understood what Xiao Xun'er meant, but the hint of threat in her words made him somewhat displeased.

In the end, his strength was still too low. There were many things he did not dare to carry out.

If he possessed the strength of a Nine Star Dou Sheng at this moment, why would he need to fear the Gu Clan behind Xiao Xun'er?

At this moment, seeing Xiao Xun'er's lofty manner, Flowing Cloud could not help but say, "Compared to the Gu Clan behind little sister Xun Er, the force behind me naturally amounts to nothing."

The moment Flowing Cloud said this, Xiao Xun'er's expression changed drastically. Her lofty bearing instantly vanished as she stared at him in shock. "How do you know I come from the Gu Clan? Who exactly are you?"

With Flowing Cloud directly exposing her identity, Xiao Xun'er could no longer remain calm, and a trace of panic rose in her heart.

"Who am I?"

"Did little sister Xun Er forget again? I am the Young Master of the Mite'er Family, Mite'er Flowing Cloud!"

Seeing Xiao Xun'er looking so flustered, Flowing Cloud suddenly felt delighted, a nonchalant smile on his face.

Go on, keep pretending to be mysterious.

Let's see how you keep it up now.

"Forget it if you don't want to say." Seeing the teasing look on Flowing Cloud's face, Xiao Xun'er regained her composure.

No matter what, she would never believe that Flowing Cloud came from the Mite'er Family.

Compared to the Gu Clan, the mere Mite'er Family did not even count as an ant. How could they possibly know her background?

"Sigh, why does no one ever believe the truth?" Seeing the disbelief on Xiao Xun'er's face, Flowing Cloud said helplessly.

"This is your compensation. Catch!" At that moment, two scrolls and a piece of soft armor suddenly appeared in Xiao Xun'er's hand. Before Flowing Cloud could react, she threw them directly toward him.

Fortunately, Flowing Cloud reacted quickly. With a flicker of his body, he easily caught the items Xiao Xun'er had thrown.

"I have already given you compensation. If anything happens to Brother Xiao Yan while he is in your hands, I will never forgive you." Leaving behind those incomparably cold words, Xiao Xun'er's purple figure flickered slightly, and in an instant, she had left Flowing Cloud's courtyard.

"Hey, I haven't even checked what they are yet! If the quality is too poor, I can't guarantee anything!" Seeing Xiao Xun'er throw down the items and leave, Flowing Cloud immediately shouted after her.

But Xiao Xun'er seemed not to hear him. Within moments, she vanished from Flowing Cloud's sight.

"Let's see what kind of things you sent me." Looking at the three items in his hands, Flowing Cloud's eyes held a trace of curiosity.

Then, Flowing Cloud picked up one of the scrolls and slowly opened it.

"Profound-tier High-grade Dou Technique, Blazing Flame Palm!"

After reading the contents of the scroll, a look of surprise appeared in Flowing Cloud's eyes.

What was recorded on this scroll was actually a Profound-tier High-grade Dou Technique!

This caught Flowing Cloud somewhat off guard.

He had thought Xiao Xun'er would at most casually take out a few Profound-tier items to brush him off.

But Flowing Cloud had never expected Xiao Xun'er to actually offer a Profound-tier High-grade Dou Technique.

As expected of the young lady of the Gu Clan. She really was incredibly generous!

After a brief sigh to himself, Flowing Cloud slowly turned his gaze to the second scroll.

"Golden Seal Fist?"

"Another Profound-tier High-grade Dou Technique?"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, this girl really has gone all out."

After reading the second scroll, Flowing Cloud clicked his tongue in amazement again.

Clearly, he was very satisfied with these two Profound-tier High-grade Dou Techniques.

After marveling for a moment, Flowing Cloud turned his gaze to the last piece of soft armor.

It was a set of yellow soft armor, with an earth-yellow Demonic Core embedded at its center.

After sensing it carefully, Flowing Cloud discovered that it was a Third-order Demonic Core.

"Since it has a Third-order Demonic Core embedded in it, this soft armor is equivalent to a Third-order Demonic Core Weapon." Flowing Cloud's eyes lit up. This soft armor was not bad either; its value was no less than that of the Ice Soul Sword from before.

"This compensation came at just the right time. It can be used in the next auction." Originally, Flowing Cloud had been considering what items to offer at the next auction. Now that Xiao Xun'er had sent these three treasures, it saved him the trouble.

"Two Profound-tier High-grade Dou Techniques and one Third-order Demonic Core Weapon—this will be the most luxurious auction ever held at the Mittel Auction House."

Then, Flowing Cloud slowly put away Xiao Xun'er's compensation.

"Xiao Yan has been thinking for so long and still hasn't made up his mind. He really is indecisive." Thinking of the ring in Xiao Yan's possession, Flowing Cloud could not help feeling impatient.

"I'll first make a trip to the Magical Beast Mountain Range. If Xiao Yan still hasn't agreed when I return, then don't blame me for taking it by force." Looking in the direction of the Xiao Clan, Flowing Cloud muttered to himself.

Early the next morning, Flowing Cloud sent Sweet Potato to summon Ya Fei and Master Gu Ni to his courtyard.

"Young Master, what are your instructions?"

In the courtyard, Ya Fei and Master Gu Ni looked at Flowing Cloud in confusion.

Having been summoned by Flowing Cloud so early in the morning, both of them were puzzled.

"Big sister Ya Fei, Master Gu Ni, I need to go out and take care of something. During this time, I'll leave the Mittel Auction House to the two of you." Looking at them, Flowing Cloud spoke directly.

"Going out?"

At those words, confusion flashed through Ya Fei and Master Gu Ni's eyes.

Suddenly, Gu Ni seemed to think of something. His expression changed slightly as he respectfully said to Flowing Cloud, "Young Master, please go without concern. With Ya Fei and this old man here, nothing will happen to the Mittel Auction House."

Ya Fei also quickly came to a realization and followed up, "That's right, Young Master. Rest assured, nothing will happen to the Mittel Auction House."

"Mm." Flowing Cloud was very satisfied with their attitude.

Flowing Cloud looked at Ya Fei and said, "Big sister Ya Fei, your main task is to do your utmost to prepare items for the next auction. When I return from this training trip, I will give you the finale item for the next auction."

After speaking, Flowing Cloud turned to Master Gu Ni beside her. "As for you, Master, you must refine a Second-grade Pill for the next auction."

"This old man accepts the order." Master Gu Ni readily accepted.

"Good. Then I'll be leaving." As soon as Flowing Cloud finished speaking, a black shadow appeared behind him, grabbed him, and flew toward the outskirts of Wutan City, leaving behind only Ya Fei and Master Gu Ni with stunned expressions.
