Making Grand Promises to Ya Fei

"I feel like you're bragging, but I have no proof."

Ya Fei looked at Ye Tian's calm, unruffled expression and could not help laughing. After not seeing him for so long, this little fellow had become increasingly mysterious. She could see through him less and less.

"You'll understand someday." Ye Tian smiled mysteriously.

"I believe Xiao Tian."

Xiao Yi Xian had complete faith in Ye Tian's words.

"I believe him too. Heavenly Flames are far too powerful; they are not something ordinary people can absorb."

Master Gu Ni felt that Ye Tian was definitely not lying. This little fellow now seemed shrouded in mist, impossible for him to see through.

As a member of the Mite'er Family, one had to know how to judge people. Everything about Ye Tian indicated that there might be an expert behind him, one unimaginably powerful. A Prodigy like this had to be befriended.

"Oh, right, Sister Ya Fei, Master Gu Ni. We got into a conflict with some people on the street earlier. I wiped them all out. One of them was called Jia Lie Ao, and another was called Liu Xi. He was a first-tier Alchemist."

"Have the Auction House Guards stay alert, so we can avoid any unnecessary trouble."

Ye Tian told them about the trouble he had caused earlier, allowing the Mittel Auction House to prepare. He was not afraid of anything, but Xiao Yi Xian and Ya Fei were too weak and might inevitably be implicated.

"You really have brought your sister quite the surprise."

Hearing that Ye Tian had caused such a huge commotion as soon as he arrived, Ya Fei was rather surprised. This little fellow had wiped out so many servants of the Jia Lie Family alone. His strength surpassed that of many of the Guards under her command. He was truly remarkable.

"Xiao Tian, don't worry. A mere Jia Lie Family can't stir up much trouble."

"I can guarantee that no one at the Mittel Auction House will dare cause trouble for you."

Ya Fei and Master Gu Ni told Ye Tian not to worry about safety. A mere family with a Da Dou Shi could not contend with the Mittel Auction House.

"Then thank you very much."

Ye Tian quickly thanked Ya Fei and Master Gu Ni.

"Miss, take Xiao Tian and the Little Girl to get settled first. Also, have the Guards step up their vigilance."

Master Gu Ni instructed Ya Fei to make the necessary preparations. A genius with limitless potential like Ye Tian had come to the Auction House, so they had to ensure his safety.

At that moment, Gu Ni had a premonition that the Mite'er Family would one day reach unimaginable heights.

"Uncle Gu Ni, I'll make the arrangements."

"Xiao Tian, Xian'er Sister, come with me."

Ya Fei promptly took Ye Tian and Xiao Yi Xian away from Master Gu Ni's residence.

"Sister Ya Fei, what is your current cultivation level?" Xiao Yi Xian asked Ya Fei as they walked.

"My talent isn't very good. I'm already twenty-three, yet I'm only a Seven-star Dou Practitioner. Compared to Xian'er Sister, I'm far behind."

"If Xiao Tian hadn't reminded me to work hard at cultivation two years ago, I would probably only be a Four-star Dou Practitioner at most."

Ya Fei smiled self-deprecatingly. It was precisely because her cultivation talent was lacking and she was not valued by the family that she could only come to a small place like Wutan City to gain experience. She wanted to achieve something and prove her abilities to the family.

"Senior, do you think her cultivation problem can still be fixed?"

Ye Tian called out to Jin Yan with his soul, asking this great expert to assess Ya Fei's cultivation issue.

"Mm. Let me take a look."

"Her talent is a little poor, but it can still be remedied. You can refine a Marrow Cleansing Pill for her to improve her talent. Besides that, she herself must work harder. Her future holds promise."

Jin Yan examined Ya Fei's condition and felt that the problem was not serious. With enough resources, even trash could become strong.

"That's good."

After hearing Jin Yan's suggestion, Ye Tian felt it was about what he had expected.

"Xiao Tian, what are you thinking about?"

"Why do you keep spacing out?"

At this moment, Ya Fei and Xiao Yi Xian saw Ye Tian standing motionless and were quite curious.

"Nothing. I was thinking about something." Ye Tian nodded.

"What were you thinking about? Tell us." Ya Fei asked with a smile.

"I was thinking about how to improve Sister Ya Fei's cultivation talent, so that you can have a chance to become a Dou Huang, a Dou Zong, a Dou Zun-level expert, or perhaps even a Dou Saint."

Ye Tian deliberately kept Ya Fei in suspense, painting her an enormous picture of the future.

"You really know how to say nice things to coax me. A Dou Saint? If I can become a Dou Huang in this life, I'll be laughing in my dreams."

Watching Ye Tian make such grand promises with a serious face, Ya Fei smiled helplessly.

"You should brag less in the future."

Xiao Yi Xian shot Ye Tian a glance. Still, with this guy helping her, Ya Fei becoming strong would not be much of a problem. After all, she had experienced it firsthand.

"Nothing in the world is difficult for one who puts their heart into it."

Ye Tian revealed a mysterious smile. If Ya Fei had not met him, she would ultimately only be able to reach the Dou Huang realm. But now, things were different.

"Xiao Tian, tell your sister the truth. Can you really change my cultivation talent?"

Seeing that Ye Tian did not seem to be bragging, Ya Fei immediately looked at him expectantly.

"It won't be a problem."

Ye Tian nodded. Later, he would look through the Pill Dao Sacred Canon and see what grade of pill the Marrow Cleansing Pill was.

"Then your sister will be relying on you from now on. Whatever you need in the future, just ask. Your sister will satisfy you."

Seeing Ye Tian's confident look, Ya Fei knew that the little fellow was not lying. After all, he could even obtain mysterious Heavenly Flames. He surely had even greater secrets.

The three chatted as they walked, and before long, they arrived at an elegant courtyard.

"Xiao Tian, you'll stay in the room to my left. Xian'er Sister will stay in the one to the right."

Ya Fei directly arranged for the two to stay at her residence. Ye Tian's parents had both died, leaving him an orphan, so she ought to take care of him.

"Sister Ya Fei, this is your residence. Isn't it inappropriate for me to stay here?"

Seeing Ya Fei go this far just to win him over, Ye Tian could not help complaining inwardly, You're using this to test an official? What official could withstand a test like this?

"What's inappropriate about it? Xian'er Sister and I are weak, so you can protect us."

"Xian'er Sister, what do you think?"

Ya Fei now intended to invest fully in Ye Tian and make him trust her completely. Once this little fellow grew up, she would have someone to rely on.

This was a world where the strong were revered, and Ya Fei wanted to become strong as well. Without sufficient strength, she was merely a beautiful vase, destined sooner or later to become a tool used by the family to exchange for benefits. Now that such an opportunity lay before her, she had to seize it tightly.

"Sister Ya Fei, just arrange it as you see fit."

Xiao Yi Xian looked around the courtyard, filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers, and found it quite nice. They were not cramming themselves into the same room anyway, so there was no problem.

"Since Xian'er Sister agrees, it's settled."

"Xiao Tian, go take a look at your room. I'll go prepare dinner first."

Ya Fei planned to make a good meal to welcome Ye Tian, then headed into the nearby kitchen and began getting busy.

"Sister Ya Fei, I'll help you." Seeing this, Xiao Yi Xian immediately went in to lend a hand.

"Thank you, Xian'er Sister."

Ya Fei's heart melted at how thoughtful Xiao Yi Xian was.

Since Xiao Yi Xian had agreed to stay here, Ye Tian could not say much else. He then entered the room beside them and began tidying up.

Meanwhile, news that Jia Lie Ao and Liu Xi had been killed in the street by a Mysterious Youth had already spread throughout Wutan City.

"That old fellow Jia Lie Bi must be furious now!"

When Xiao Zhan, the Patriarch of the Xiao Family, heard that Jia Lie Bi's son had been killed, he felt utterly delighted.

"Patriarch, should we make a move now? We could seize the Jia Lie Family's medicinal herb market in one fell swoop..."

Several elders of the Xiao Family rubbed their hands together, prepared to strike the Jia Lie Family hard. At this moment, everyone had a feeling that Jia Lie Bi might try something.

"No rush. Watch how things develop and remain on alert."

Xiao Zhan calmed down and told the clan members to be prepared, lest the Jia Lie Family jump the wall in desperation.

"Yan'er, what do you think of that Mysterious Youth?"

Thinking of that mysterious youth, Xiao Zhan turned his gaze toward Xiao Yan.

"He's very strong."

Although Xiao Yan had never met that youth, anyone capable of killing Jia Lie Ao, Liu Xi, and the others in broad daylight was definitely ruthless. At the very least, he could not do it himself right now.

"It's good that you understand. That youth's origins are unknown, so you must not get into a conflict with him."

Xiao Zhan warned Xiao Yan not to cause trouble outside if possible. If he accidentally provoked that God of Slaughter, they would be in serious trouble.

"Father, I understand. I'll go ask Xun'er about the situation first."

Xiao Yan was also very interested in the Mysterious Youth who had suddenly appeared. However, since the other party had killed trash like Liu Xi, he could not be a bad person.

"Xun'er Sister, what does the person you mentioned look like?"

Before long, Xiao Yan arrived at the pavilion where Xiao Xun'er often read and asked her about the Mysterious Youth. If possible, he wanted to get to know that guy as well.

"He looks decent and has a good temperament. He's about our age, and there was also a sweet-looking girl beside him."

"The reason Jia Lie Ao and his group were killed was because Liu Xi harassed that girl."

"Brother Xiao Yan, you need to be careful in the future. Don't provoke that person. You have no chance of winning against him right now."

Xiao Xun'er closed her book and told Xiao Yan what she had seen earlier. To be honest, she was also curious about that Mysterious Youth who had acted so ruthlessly.

"Xun'er Sister, I didn't expect you to rate him so highly."

Hearing Xiao Xun'er praise that Mysterious Youth so much, Xiao Yan felt a sourness in his heart.

"Brother Xiao Yan, I'm only stating the facts. He has mastered a powerful Lightning Attribute Dou Technique, as well as an unfathomable movement technique. Once he used it, all that could be seen were afterimages, not his true body. His speed was absurdly fast. Eight Dou Practitioners under Jia Lie Ao surrounded and attacked him together, yet before they could even react, they were all wiped out. The entire process seemed to have taken only a few seconds."

"Brother Xiao Yan, how many moves do you think you could last against him?"

Xiao Xun'er described how Ye Tian had slaughtered his enemies, making Xiao Yan understand the difference between them.

"Gasp! He's that strong?"

Hearing how monstrous the Mysterious Youth was, Xiao Yan immediately drew in a sharp breath. His own strength was not bad, but killing eight Dou Practitioners in a matter of seconds was simply beyond him.

"Xiao Yan, your talent is not bad, but compared with true prodigies, you are still far too lacking."

At this moment, Old Man Yao Chen's voice sounded in Xiao Yan's mind, reminding him not to become arrogant.

"Teacher, I understand."

As a Transmigrator, Xiao Yan naturally understood that there were always greater people beyond people and greater heavens beyond heaven.

The people of Wutan City were now discussing that Mysterious Youth. Some had even begun calling him the Little God of Slaughter. The elders of every major family warned the younger generation to keep a low profile in the future, lest they bring about their own destruction.

Meanwhile, the Jia Lie Family was in an uproar. The deaths of Liu Xi and Jia Lie Ao had completely disrupted their plans to fight the Xiao Family.

"Crack... Crack..."

"What exactly happened? Who was so bold as to kill my son in the street?"

Jia Lie Bi looked at the corpses of his son and the servants, his eyes red with fury. He smashed more than a dozen teacups in succession.

"I heard it was a youth who appeared from nowhere. He carried a longsword and wiped out the young master and the others in just a few moves."

"It began because Liu Xi harassed the little girl beside that youth, which led him to kill them."

Several servants cautiously reported the information they had gathered to Jia Lie Bi.

"Liu... Xi, you worthless scum! You actually got my son killed."

"I'll fuck your mother..."

"Crack... Crack..."

Upon hearing that Liu Xi was responsible for everything, Jia Lie Bi was so furious that smoke practically rose from his seven orifices. He grabbed a large blade and hacked Liu Xi's corpse to pieces.
