Arriving at the Imperial Capital, a Classic Trouble-Seeking Plot

The Imperial Capital of the Jia Ma Empire.

Within a vast city.

Nalan Yanran, the young patriarch of the Nalan Family, whose cultivation had already reached the Da Dou Shi, sighed and looked at Nalan Jie on the bed.

"Even now, not a single Alchemist can do anything, not even restore you to the slightest extent, Grandpa?" Nalan Yanran murmured to herself with heartache.

Seeing this, Nalan Jie forced a smile and said, "Yanran, Grandpa can still hold on!"

"That Alchemist you mentioned, Grandpa can wait for him!"

Nalan Yanran bit her lip, her anxiety growing stronger. She silently pleaded, "Master Yan Xiao, please come quickly."

Just as Nalan Yanran was hoping for this...

At this moment, Xiao Yan was wearing a black robe and strolling leisurely through the city.

Step by step, he entered the stronghold of the Mittel Family, which was also the headquarters of the Mite'er Auction House, the number one auction house in the Imperial Capital.

It was a magnificent building, resembling a heavy ancient structure, with multiple layers and a vast area.

As Xiao Yan stepped inside, he immediately felt like he was visiting a tourist attraction in his previous life.

People were packed together, and sweat was sticking to each other.

He silently channeled his Soul Power to envelop himself, forming a special protective shield that was invisible and imperceptible to the naked eye.

Under the protective shield, some pickpockets who wanted to sneak around him all mysteriously failed and left with bewildered expressions, scratching their heads as they moved on to find new targets.

We walked for a while longer.

Once inside the auction house, the view opened up dramatically, revealing a vast array of gleaming crystal display cases showcasing the items inside.

Xiao Yan glanced at it briefly and was slightly disappointed.

The items in the display case, while not ordinary, were not particularly rare either.

In particular, it didn't even contain anything beneficial to him, such as the Heart Blood Essence or Beast Flame.

"Forget it, I'll leave the money here and buy things when I get to the Black-Corner Region. The Jia Ma Empire is still too impoverished," Xiao Yan thought to himself.

He stroked the Storage Ring, thinking, "Should I go find Hai Bodong?"

"Protecting the Xiao Clan deserves some reward, right? The Spirit Recovery Purple Pill, which can help the sealer restore their Dou Qi cultivation, seems like a good option."

Having made up his mind, Xiao Yan looked around and a familiar figure suddenly came into view.

It was a graceful figure with an excellent figure. Her breasts and buttocks were pert and swayed slightly, and her beautiful face seemed to be second only to Medusa and Xiao Xun'er.

"Ya Fei ..." Xiao Yan recognized the person and recalled that in the original novel, Ya Fei had successfully returned to the Imperial Capital to become the acting supervisor of the family. Now that the Xiao Clan was even more prosperous, Ya Fei, as the earliest person to cooperate with the Xiao Clan, should have an even higher status.

With this thought in mind, Xiao Yan stepped forward and blocked Ya Fei's path.

This instantly attracted the attention of many people, with many men focusing their gazes on Xiao Yan.

Two guards suddenly appeared beside Ya Fei, watching Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan didn't care, and reached out to take off his hood.

In an instant, his handsome face, which had undergone a partial evolution, appeared before everyone's eyes.

A strange feeling lingered in everyone's hearts.

Those men who admired Ya Fei and secretly observed her now showed much less hostility.

Under this strangely affable aura, Ya Fei was momentarily dazed, then stared at Xiao Yan's handsome face, a sense of familiarity welling up in her heart.

She went through her memories, one year, two years... and finally remembered where she had seen that face before.

"It's you! Xiao..." Ya Fei's eyes lit up with joy, and she was about to say Xiao Yan's name.

Xiao Yan raised his hand, and an invisible force silenced Ya Fei's mouth. "Sister Ya Fei, let's talk in private."

Ya Fei nodded, and amidst the heartbroken gazes of the men around her, led Xiao Yan to the reception room.

After arriving at the reception room, the two had a brief conversation.

They didn't interact much, and usually only exchanged nods.

However, both sides felt that the other was a good person.

This is also because,

The Xiao Clan was able to obtain the corpse of Tier Five Magical Beast for him back then because of Ya Fei and the connections of the Mittel Family.

As for Ya Fei, it was because she established a good relationship with the Xiao Clan that she brought considerable benefits to the family.

Now she is the family's supervisory elder. Although her power is not great, at least she is no longer forced to marry into other families.

Xiao Yan was quite pleased to learn this.

Unlike his character in the original story, he didn't waste time and effort helping Ya Fei because of some unspoken lust.

This does not conform to his principles and standards.

However, this does not mean that he did not want Ya Fei to escape her bad fate.

Now, thanks to the butterfly effect, even without his help, Ya Fei has still become an Inspector, at least having the power to control her own destiny, which makes him very happy.

"By the way, Xiao Yan, you, the number one genius of the Jia Ma Empire, haven't been heard from for nearly three years. Why are you suddenly here now? Is something the matter?" Ya Fei asked.

Yan Li readily agreed, "That's right. I just returned from training in the Tagor Desert and have some things I'd like to discuss with Elder Hai. Could you please help me make the connection, Sister Ya Fei?"

Ya Fei looked surprised. "Brother Xiao Yan, from what you're saying, you know Lord Hai Bodong?"

Xiao Yan chuckled and nodded, "We crossed paths in the desert... it wasn't a minor one."

"Sister Ya Fei, just give me my name, Elder Hai will come to see me."

Hearing the certainty in Xiao Yan's tone, Ya Fei nodded and smiled gently, "Alright, I'll deliver the message for you. Xiao Yan, you should rest here for now."

"Okay," Xiao Yan replied, watching Ya Fei get up and leave.

I sat alone in a chair in the reception room, inhaling the faint fragrance in the air, and closed my eyes to enjoy a moment of peace.

"Knock knock knock!"

"Get out here! Get the hell out of here, you pretty boy!" A frantic, almost morbid roar came from outside the lounge.

Xiao Yan opened his eyes, his brows furrowing.

Whether I have a protagonist's halo or not is unknown, but it seems that the protagonist's aura of mockery is at its maximum.

"I just left with Ya Fei and someone came knocking on the door. How strange," Xiao Yan thought with a hint of helplessness.

He stood up, but before he could make a move...

The voices of staff from the Mittal Auction House could be heard from outside the door.

"Young Master Mu Zhan, this is a high-class reception room of our Mittal Auction House. Please do not disturb the guests inside."

"The VIP reception room is nothing! I can afford to pay for it! Anyone who dares to seduce my future wife, I'll cripple him!" Mu Zhan's arrogant voice rang out.

As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Zhan aimed at the door and kicked it out.

Bang!

The door crashed to the ground.

Mu Zhan entered the reception room and immediately saw Xiao Yan sitting calmly in a chair.

At this moment, Xiao Yan had already put on a mask, Mu Zhan immediately sneered, "Pretty boy, are you afraid I'll tear your face off? So you're wearing a mask on purpose?"

Xiao Yan didn't reply, but glanced at Mu Zhan, shook his head slightly, and looked at him as if he were looking at a dead man.
