"Please leave, everyone! If you're here to buy something, the Auction House welcomes you. But if you're here to cause trouble, don't blame us for being rude."
Seeing that Ya Fei had stepped forward, Mite'er Tengshan once again warned those old fellows.
"Little Friend Ye, rest assured! We have no ill intentions toward you..."
After seeing the mysterious Dou Emperor expert beside Ye Tian, everyone knew their trip to Wutan City had been in vain and departed one after another.
In the blink of an eye, they had all vanished. They had come in a rush and left in a rush.
"Finally scared them off. It's much quieter now."
After watching them leave, Ye Tian found it rather amusing.
"Pfft..."
Yun Yun, Ya Fei, Master Gu Ni, and the others could not help laughing when they saw Ye Tian change from a serious expression back into an innocent, carefree youth.
"Ha ha...!"
Even Mite'er Tengshan could not help laughing heartily. He had never seen such a distinctive young genius before.
"Xiao Tian, this is our family's Great Elder, Mite'er Tengshan."
Seeing this, Ya Fei hurriedly introduced the old man to Ye Tian.
"Ye Tian greets you, Senior."
Ye Tian knew this old man was Mite'er Tengshan, the one who liked to keep his eyes narrowed. He immediately cupped his fists and bowed to him.
However, the old man was not squinting now. Instead, he looked at Ye Tian with a pair of bright, piercing eyes.
"No need for such formalities. The moment I heard about you, I rushed over to take a look. As expected, heroes emerge from the young!"
"Ya Fei, that girl, really should have informed the family headquarters after something so major happened."
Mite'er Tengshan chuckled, then looked at Ya Fei beside him with a reproachful expression.
"Senior, I was the one who told Sister Ya Fei not to make it public. After she revealed her Flying Dou Technique, who knows how many people began setting their sights on her."
"We originally wanted to keep a low profile, but our strength simply wouldn't allow it!"
Ye Tian hurriedly explained things to Mite'er Tengshan.
"So that's how it is!"
After hearing this, Mite'er Tengshan felt that Ye Tian was quite a clever little fellow.
"Sister Ling, I took this Ring of Holding from an assassin earlier. There should be over a hundred thousand Gold Coins inside. Distribute it among everyone at the Auction House!"
Seeing that all the Auction House Guards and staff were present, Ye Tian directly took out a Ring of Holding full of Gold Coins and tossed it to Ya Fei's assistant, Zhao Ling.
"You're far too generous!"
Seeing Ye Tian casually give away over a hundred thousand Gold Coins, Master Gu Ni felt that the boy was terribly extravagant.
"Money is just something outside the body. I can earn Gold Coins whenever I want."
Ye Tian smiled calmly. He already had several million Gold Coins on him, so this amount was merely pocket change.
"That's right. This is a small token of Xiao Tian's appreciation for everyone. Go divide it up!"
Ya Fei knew Ye Tian was now rolling in wealth. As long as the little fellow refined Top-grade Pills, Gold Coins would come pouring in.
"Then we won't stand on ceremony. Everyone, come with me!"
Zhao Ling did not hesitate either and quickly called all the Auction House personnel over to divide the money.
"Thank you, Xiao Tian," everyone said to Ye Tian with beaming smiles before following Zhao Ling to collect their shares.
Gu Ni did not join in the excitement. The old man was not short of money, and he was too embarrassed to take Ye Tian's money.
"Ya Fei, you have made such a great contribution to the Auction House this time. I intend to transfer you back to the family headquarters and give you a higher position."
After all the staff had left, Mite'er Tengshan told Ya Fei his thoughts. To be honest, with the girl's current abilities, she was more outstanding than many of the family's higher-ups.
"Great Elder, I'm already a Two-Star Dou Master. I want to cultivate alongside Xiao Tian so that I can improve faster, so I don't wish to return for the time being."
Ya Fei directly expressed her thoughts to Mite'er Tengshan. Until she possessed sufficient strength, she had no plans to return to the family.
"In that case, I'll respect your decision."
Mite'er Tengshan knew Ya Fei had obtained a great opportunity from Ye Tian, so he did not force her to return to the family.
"Senior Tengshan, Sister Ya Fei plans to expand the Auction House business across the entire Dou Qi Continent. What do you think of that idea?"
At this moment, Ye Tian painted Mite'er Tengshan an enormous vision.
"Hiss! That idea is too grand. This Old Man wouldn't even dare think of it."
Mite'er Tengshan sharply drew in a breath when he heard that.
Even Yun Yun, standing beside Ye Tian, nearly dropped her jaw. She felt that the little fellow was boasting.
"People need dreams. What if they come true someday? How is someone without dreams any different from a Salted Fish?"
Seeing Mite'er Tengshan's astonished expression, Ye Tian continued to persuade the old man.
"Great Elder, this is the small goal Xiao Tian set for me. I think I should be able to achieve it."
At this moment, Ya Fei revealed a confident smile. Now that she had obtained such a great opportunity, she would certainly be able to open Auction Houses throughout the Dou Qi Continent.
"We believe she can do it too."
Xiao Yi Xian and Master Gu Ni exchanged mysterious smiles. With Ye Tian around, anything was possible.
"Very well! This Old Man will support you as well."
"Little Friend Ye, this is my Elder Token. Keep it safe. If you visit other cities in the Jia Ma Empire in the future, you may enjoy special privileges at the Mittel Auction House."
Mite'er Tengshan then directly took out his Elder Token and handed it to Ye Tian, expressing his sincerity toward this Prodigy.
"Senior, what privileges does this token have? Does it mean that if I see any Spirit Herbs or treasures I like at the Auction House, I can take them?"
Looking at the token, which bore an auction hammer and some patterns, Ye Tian did not think it looked particularly special.
"That's right! As long as you like something, take it freely, and you won't have to pay."
Mite'er Tengshan explained with a smile. When facing a Prodigy like Ye Tian, they had to build good relations with him.
From what he had learned earlier, Mite'er Tengshan knew that the Auction House had earned so much money entirely because of the Foundation Establishment Pill and Spirit Gathering Pill introduced by Ye Tian. Although Old Man Gu Ni had not directly said that Ye Tian refined them, Mite'er Tengshan guessed that Ye Tian had to be a genius Alchemist. Moreover, this Prodigy was close to Ya Fei, making him an enormous opportunity for the Mite'er Family.
"Then thank you, Senior."
Ye Tian quickly put away the token. If he found that old man Hai Bodong in the future, he would simply show him the token and make the old man return to the world.
After chatting for a while, Mite'er Tengshan told Ya Fei to seize her opportunity well before returning to the Imperial Capital. With a mysterious Dou Emperor expert protecting Ye Tian, there was nothing more to worry about.
Meanwhile, Ye Tian, Ya Fei, and Xiao Yi Xian brought Yun Yun back to their residence and began cooking, intending to properly entertain this female Dou Emperor.
"Buzz..."
To prevent Yun Yun's identity from being exposed, Ye Tian directly activated the Five Elements Eight Trigrams Formation, isolating the courtyard from the outside world.
"Ye Tian, I never expected you to know how to set up a Formation as well. That's truly impressive."
Looking at the protective barrier covered in intricate patterns before her, Yun Yun was greatly surprised. Her beautiful eyes could not help roaming over Ye Tian, as though she wanted to see through him completely.
"Sect Master Yun flatters me. At present, this is the only Formation I know how to set up."
Ye Tian smiled modestly. It seemed he would have to learn more in the future, or he would feel rather embarrassed whenever people asked him about it.
"That's already very impressive. You're only sixteen, yet you've learned how to set up a Formation. That's remarkable enough."
Yun Yun felt that Ye Tian seemed capable of everything. Such a genius was simply monstrous.
Before long, a lavish feast had been prepared, and Ye Tian's group began to enjoy it.
"Sect Master Yun, thank you for backing us up."
Ye Tian, Ya Fei, and Xiao Yi Xian raised their wine cups and toasted Yun Yun.
"You're welcome."
Yun Yun smiled beautifully and elegantly raised her cup to clink glasses with the three of them.
"Sect Master Yun, the three masked men in black who ambushed me at the Auction House earlier, they were elders from your sect, weren't they?"
At this moment, Ye Tian deliberately asked Yun Yun with feigned curiosity.
"How did you figure it out?" Yun Yun tilted her head and quietly looked at Ye Tian.
"When you revealed your Dou Emperor Aura, those three old fellows ran like mice seeing a cat. They must have recognized you," Ye Tian explained.
"Sure enough, nothing can be hidden from you. But please don't spread this matter for now. It would damage our sect's reputation."
"Ye Tian, I'm sorry. You were dragged into this. I will handle this matter."
Yun Yun smiled awkwardly. At that moment, she truly wanted to pin those old fellows from her sect to the ground and beat them up.
"Don't worry, we won't say anything."
The three of them assured Yun Yun that they would not spread the matter. After all, they had to consider this female Dou Emperor's dignity.
"Thank you."
"Ye Tian, I plan to stay a few more days to prevent anyone with ill intentions from ambushing you."
Seeing that all three of them had considered her feelings, Yun Yun was somewhat touched. She decided to stay a few more days, get to know Ye Tian, this Prodigy, properly, and learn more about him.
"Sect Master Yun, won't that affect you?"
"After all, you're the Sect Master of the Misty Cloud Sect. If you stay away from the sect for too long, your people may think you've gone missing."
Xiao Yi Xian and Ya Fei both felt that Yun Yun had ulterior motives toward Ye Tian. As for what kind of ulterior motives, they had no idea.
"It's fine."
Yun Yun smiled beautifully. She was the Sect Master of the Misty Cloud Sect. She could go wherever she wanted.
"Then thank you, Sect Master Yun."
Since someone was willing to serve as his bodyguard, Ye Tian naturally welcomed it. Besides, she was a great beauty, so there was even less to say.
At the same time, Yun Leng and the others were extremely frustrated in a mountain range outside Wutan City.
"Great Elder, why is the Sect Master beside Ye Tian?"
"How would I know? We probably left first, and that girl followed right after."
"Great Elder, what do we do now?"
"What else can we do? Return to the Misty Cloud Sect. Remember, after we return, no one is to mention this matter. Treat it as though it never happened."
"Yes, Great Elder."
Yun Leng and the others had never imagined that the dignified Sect Master of the Misty Cloud Sect would actually come to protect Ye Tian. In the end, the old fellows could only return to the Misty Cloud Sect in frustration.
