You Don't Hit a Smiling Face

"Elder Lei Ou, this whole affair was caused by Sun's insolent remarks first; he has only himself to blame. As for me..."

Ya Fei took a few steps forward, blocking Xiao Tian's path, and spoke to the old man, but the old man interrupted her directly, his face contorted with rage.

"I don't care about any of this bullshit about who's right or wrong. All I know is that my grandson is dead, and whoever killed him will pay with their life."

"Ya Fei, as the Acting Supervisory Elder of the Mittel Family, you colluded with outsiders to kill your own clansmen, and now you're even protecting the murderer. Even if I kill you now, the Elder Council will have no grounds for complaint."

"Lei Ou you"

Ya Fei's face turned ashen.

"Mystic Rank Intermediate Grade: Bone Crushing Fist."

The old man looked at Ya Fei and Xiao Tian with a cold and resentful expression. He condensed his fighting Dou Qi into a fist and swung it directly at Ya Fei.

Seeing the huge fist coming at her, Ya Fei stood there stunned, not expecting that the other party would attack without even giving her a chance to speak.

A Chilling Intent of death instantly enveloped her, and Ya Fei tightly closed her eyes.

After a low-energy explosion, Ya Fei felt no pain.

Am I not dead?

Ya Fei opened her tightly closed eyes in confusion. After looking at her body, which was unharmed, she raised her head and saw a strong, muscular figure blocking her way.

Ya Fei stared blankly at the figure in front of her, lost in thought.

Standing in front of Ya Fei was Xiao Tian Xiao Tian, who crushed the old man's fist phantom formed by his Dou Qi with a single hand.

"Old man, since you can't wait to reunite with your grandson, then I'll send you to see him, Thunder Lion."

Xiao Tian stared sharply at the old man, then conjured a lion's head in his hand and threw a punch at him.

A colorful lion formed from Three-Colored Dou Qi qi roared and pounced towards the old man.

"Earth Wall." The old man conjured an earth wall in front of him with his earth-attribute Dou Qi to block Xiao Tian's Thunder Lion.

The lion instantly smashed through the earthen wall and slammed into the old man. The old man opened his mouth and spat out blood mixed with some small pieces of internal organs before his body crashed heavily against the wall behind him.

Blood continued to spill from the old man's mouth as he used his last strength to point a finger at Xiao Tian: "Fight! Fight! Fight!"

Before he could finish speaking, the old man's hand went limp, and he instantly lost all signs of life.

Watching the old man die, Xiao Tian stretched out his finger and pointed it at him. A bolt of Thunder shot out from his finger and pierced through the old man's brow.

If you kill someone and don't finish them off, trouble will come knocking.

"Alright, next time, there's no need to say too much to this kind of person. This is an irreconcilable hatred; it can only be dealt with through violence. In this world, whoever has the bigger fist calls the shots."

Xiao Tian looked at Ya Fei, whose face still showed a hint of relief after surviving a disaster, stroked her long black hair, and said calmly.

"Also, stand behind me next time; let me do this kind of thing."

"Your Excellency, what is the reason for such a large-scale attack to kill my Clan Leader?"

A voice rang out in the study, its tone carrying seven parts apprehension and three parts inquiry.

An old man appeared at the door of the study, looking at Xiao Tian with apprehension.

He sensed a dangerous aura emanating from Xiao Tian. Although the family Elder had been killed, someone who looked to be under eighteen years old and was already capable of killing Dou Ling with a single blow required at least Dou Wang level.

Someone who is already Dou Wang at such a young age, and also Third Grade Alchemist, might have a powerful force behind him. I should think twice about it.

"Grand Elder!" Ya Fei said urgently as she looked at the old man who had appeared in the room.

Xiao Tian scrutinized the old man who had appeared. The old man was dressed in fine clothes, and although his eyes were slightly narrowed and there was a lot of anger in them, it was all well hidden. Xiao Tian thought to himself: Is this Mittel, the Grand Elder of the Mittel Auction House Teng Shan?

Xiao Tian gently pulled Ya Fei back, indicating that she didn't need to worry and that he would handle it, and then gave Hai Bo Dong a wink.

Hai Bo Dong instantly understood Xiao Tian's meaning: if you won't step in to solve the problem, then I will. Maybe Mittel will lose one of its Grand Elder.

Hai Bo Dong knew Xiao Tian's character and behavior very well; he only adhered to one principle when dealing with enemies: death!!

After all, Mittel was a force he had once served, and Hai Bo Dong couldn't bear to see Mittel and Xiao Tian completely on opposite sides.

Given Xiao Tian's cultivation level and the power behind him, there is only one outcome for the Mittel Family standing opposite him: annihilation.

It might not be considered annihilation, since Ya Fei, who had a close relationship with Xiao Tian, would certainly have survived.

"Mittel Teng Shan, you piece of trash, you're still alive?"

Hai Bo Dong sighed helplessly and stepped forward.

The calm voice boomed like thunder in the ears of Ya Fei and the person involved, Mittel Teng Shan.

Even with his excellent composure, Mittel Teng Shan's eyes flashed with anger at these words. He raised his head, about to rebuke, but upon seeing the speaker, his expression instantly changed from anger to agitation.

Mittel Teng Shan's current state can be described in one sentence. "He got angry in a fit of rage."

"Are you Hai Lao?"

"Um."

Hai Bo Dong nodded slightly in response.

"Hai Lao, when you left and never returned, I used all the resources of the entire family, but we still couldn't find any trace of you."

Mittel Teng Shan strode up to Hai Bo Dong.

"There were some problems back then, and I went into seclusion for a while. Teng Shan, you managed the family and the Auction House very well, but there were too many parasites in the family."

Just as the two were talking, Ya Fei noticed that her Grand Elder had suddenly become obsequious, so she quietly moved closer to Xiao Tian Xiao Tian, almost pressing her entire body against him.

"Who is Younger Brother Xiao Tian?"

Have you heard of "Ice Emperor Hai Bo Dong"?

As Ya Fei approached, a faint, musky scent wafted into Xiao Tian's nostrils.

"Ice Emperor, is that the mysterious Dou Emperor- level Grand Elder from our family?"

Ya Fei covered her mouth tightly, her eyes filled with shock and disbelief.

Looking at his Younger Brother Xiao Tian beside him, he realized that in just over a year, he was already accompanied by Dou Huang expert, and not just any Dou Huang, but the renowned Ice Emperor. This little guy was becoming more and more mysterious.

Xiao Tian nodded calmly.

"Xiao Tian, I have learned the whole story. This was entirely Lei Le Lei Ou's own fault. My young friend was merely acting in self-defense; he has no one else to blame."

Mittel Teng Shan approached Xiao Tian with a smile and said with a slight smile.

After Hai Bo Dong's subtle reminder, Mittel Teng Shan knew that the person in front of him was powerful enough to wipe out his family dozens of times over, both in terms of strength and background. Although a powerful Elder had died, nothing was more important than the survival of his family.

Looking at Mittel Tengshan, who was still smiling even after the powerful Elder in front of him was killed, Xiao Tian raised an eyebrow: No wonder he was able to run the Auction House so successfully in the Imperial Capital.

"I was forced to take action, and I am deeply sorry for what happened today."

Since the other party offered him a way out, Xiao Tian accepted it; one shouldn't hit a smiling face.
