Mischief Makers and Experience Monsters

Right now, he only wanted to stand up and shout.

"I want to see blood flow like a river!"

Ya Fei glanced at Xiao Yan and said with a smile.

"Young Brother Xiao Yan looks somewhat familiar. Have we met somewhere before?"

Hearing this, Xun'er turned her head and looked at Xiao Yan with a sweet smile.

"Brother Xiao Yan, do you know Sister Ya Fei?"

For some reason, although it was winter and the Dou Qi in Xiao Yang's body had already been converted to the Fire Attribute when he left home—

he still felt waves of chill spreading through the surroundings.

Xiao Yan was in even worse shape.

Cold sweat had already begun to form on his back.

"Cough, cough. Miss Ya Fei, you must have mistaken me for someone else."

"Oh, is that so? Then I suppose I did."

Ya Fei said with a smile.

Then, she took several more looks at Xiao Yan's hands.

Xun'er said nothing, merely leaning quietly against Xiao Yan.

Watching the scene before him, Xiao Yang subconsciously picked up some sunflower seeds from the table and began eating them.

He felt that the atmosphere was rather subtle right now.

However, he had no intention of helping at all.

Xun'er and Ya Fei would occasionally lock eyes as well.

Just then, the maid finally returned.

Ya Fei took the Black Card from her and personally handed it back to Xiao Yang.

After receiving the Black Card, Xiao Yang created a mission.

[Mission: Obtain three Peiyuan Grass plants. Reward: One Medicinal Field, Peiyuan Grass Seeds +10]

This reward is great!

The hardest ingredient to find for the Fighter Pill was Peiyuan Grass.

If he could cultivate it himself, then even failed refinement attempts would not matter.

With a wave of his hand, he directly stored the three boxes containing Peiyuan Grass into his Storage Ring.

[Mission: Obtain three Peiyuan Grass plants. Reward: One Medicinal Field, Peiyuan Grass Seeds +10. Completed. Claim reward?]

"Now that the payment has been settled, we'll be taking our leave."

After putting away the Peiyuan Grass, Xiao Yang stood up and prepared to leave.

Xiao Yan hurriedly stood up as well.

He could not wait to escape this place.

"I'll see you out."

After saying that, Ya Fei escorted the three of them to the entrance of the auction house.

"Young Brother Xiao Yang, remember to visit our auction house more often in the future."

"If you need any Medicinal Materials, you can come to us to purchase them."

Hearing this, Xiao Yang nodded and turned to leave without the slightest hesitation.

Galeo had been in a terrible mood lately.

Because the Xiao Clan had suddenly begun selling First-grade Pills, business at his family's Marketplace had plummeted.

Even his allowance had been reduced these past few days.

Today, he had come to the Miter Auction House to watch the auction.

More importantly, he wanted to see Ya Fei.

After all, Ya Fei was considered one of the finest beauties in Wutan City.

If she had not been from the Miter Auction House, Galeo would have long since...

Now, he could only come over and feast his eyes.

Just as he arrived at the entrance of the Miter Auction House, he suddenly spotted a red dress in the distance.

It belonged to Ya Fei, who was with Xiao Yang and the other two.

After watching Ya Fei for a while, he finally noticed Xiao Yang and the other two beside her.

The moment he saw Xun'er, his eyes lit up.

However, he also noticed Xiao Yan and Xiao Yang beside Xun'er.

He had no particular impression of Xiao Yang.

After all, Xiao Yang was nowhere near as famous as Xiao Yan.

Even the matter of him being accepted as an Alchemist's disciple was known only to a few of the Xiao Clan's higher-ups.

Thus, Galeo did not know Xiao Yang.

His gaze toward Xiao Yan turned gloomy.

He recalled what had happened not long ago.

Back at the Xiao Clan Marketplace, he had been driven away by the Xiao Family Guard, losing a great deal of face.

Now, seeing Xiao Yan and the other two, along with Ya Fei smiling so sweetly at them—

and remembering how Ya Fei had always kept him at arm's length in the past, Galeo grew even angrier.

Seeing that the three had no guards by their side, he immediately gave a sinister smile. After giving an order to one of his guards, he led the others and quietly followed behind Xiao Yang's group.

Very soon, that guard returned with several items.

Upon closer inspection, they were actually several cloaks and masks.

"Brother Xiao Yan, it seems your relationship with Sister Ya Fei is quite good."

"She even specially said goodbye to you before we left."

Xun'er said with a smile as she hugged one of Xiao Yan's arms.

Although it was winter, Xiao Yan was already drenched in sweat.

"Xun'er, no, I don't know Ya Fei at all."

Meanwhile, Xiao Yang followed beside them, eating the sunflower seeds he had swiped from the VIP Room and watching the two with great interest.

I never expected to have a show like this to watch today!

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

Perhaps the sound of him cracking sunflower seeds was a little too loud, because both of them turned to look at Xiao Yang.

Seeing Xiao Yan's resentful gaze, Xiao Yang said while continuing to crack seeds.

"Carry on, carry on. Just pretend I don't exist."

After he said that, Xiao Yan's gaze became even more resentful.

Hearing this, Xun'er's face reddened, and she stopped speaking.

Xiao Yan immediately let out a sigh of relief.

Seeing Xun'er cease fire, a trace of regret flashed through Xiao Yang's eyes.

Just as Xiao Yan was about to say something to change the subject, his expression suddenly changed.

Xiao Yang saw the change in his expression but said nothing.

With his powerful soul perception, he had long known that someone was following them.

They were only some low-level Dou Zhes.

He had no interest in them whatsoever.

After all, with these two by his side, he would not be afraid even if several Dou Wangs were following him.

Even if the ones following behind were Dou Zuns, he would not be afraid.

How laughable. The Ancient Clan's greatest genius girl, the treasured daughter of a Nine-star Peak Dou Saint, is right beside me.

Did they really think Gu Yuan had only arranged for a Dou Emperor to protect Xun'er?

Strictly speaking, Ling Ying was more of a servant than a guard.

However, even as merely a servant, he was basically without rivals in a place like the Jia Ma Empire.

Now that there was no more show to watch, Xiao Yang put away the sunflower seeds in his hand and sighed.

"Ah—"

"Come out, you rats."

"You've followed us for so long. What do you want?"

As soon as his words fell, several figures wearing cloaks and masks stepped out from nearby.

Although this was still within Wutan City, there were no shops nearby, making it rather secluded.

As for the surrounding residents, none of them dared to come out now.

The masked, cloaked man in the lead lowered his voice and waved his hand.

"Get them!"

The next moment, several Cloaked Figures behind him charged at the three.

Their main targets were Xiao Yang and Xiao Yan.

Watching the people rushing toward him, Xiao Yang smiled disdainfully and directly created a mission.

[Mission: Repel Galeo and his guards. Reward: Foundation Building Divine Liquid +1, one Grade 3 Meridian Protecting Pill]

Seeing the Mission Reward, Xiao Yang's eyes lit up.

Speak of the devil.

Without hesitation, he struck the foremost Cloaked Figure with a Heart-Piercing Elbow.

Seeing this, the other man threw a punch at Xiao Yang as well.

Bang!

Crack!

As fist and elbow collided, a clear sound of bones shattering rang out.

"Aah!"

The Cloaked Figure clutched his arm and let out a miserable howl.
