Lending a hand
"Hehe, it seems that I've only been gone for half a year, and the Imperial Capital has already forgotten about me. Now that I'm back, I'll let them get to know me properly again!" Xiao Yu chuckled as he got up and walked outside.
Ya Fei, carrying Little Xiao Nian, chased after them and said, "Why don't we just forget about it? There's no need to clash with the Jia Ma Imperial Family!"
"Let it go? How can we let it go? The Jia Ma Imperial Family seems to have forgotten that the current situation is theirs. If I hadn't brought the Misty Cloud Sect down from its pedestal, their Imperial Family would no longer be Imperial Family. Moreover, the Jian Family dares to bully you. Even if you're leaving, you should teach them a lesson before you go!" Xiao Yu said to Ya Fei.
"No one but me can bully you!" Xiao Yu's words made Ya Fei's heart tremble, and a warm current and shyness surged up.
Ya Fei looked at Xiao Yu and pondered, "Alright, go if you want, but remember, the Mittel Family has always stood with you!"
Xiao Yu nodded slightly and smiled, "Don't worry, don't you trust my strength? Even if Jia Xingtian came, he wouldn't change my decision. He's just Peak Dou Emperor, it's not like I haven't killed him before!"
Xiao Yu's last words struck Ya Fei like a thunderclap. "Killed Peak Dou Emperor?"
Xiao Yu's back trembled slightly, and a pair of dark golden wings exuding a noble aura appeared before Ya Fei's eyes. With a powerful flap of the wings, Xiao Yu's figure soared into the sky.
Cai Lin and Zi Yan suddenly appeared from nowhere and walked up to Ya Fei. Zi Yan asked, "Sister Ya Fei, where is Xiao Yu going?"
Ya Fei withdrew her gaze, looked at Zi Yan, and said with a faint smile, "He wants to teach someone a lesson. Let's go back!"
Upon hearing Ya Fei's words, Zi Yan did not ask any further questions. Zi Yan Cai Lin Xiao Yu's disappearing figure, her brows furrowed slightly. After glancing thoughtfully at Ya Fei, she vanished from the spot.
"Hey, Sister Cai Lin, wait for me!" Zi Yan called out hurriedly as she watched Cai Lin disappear, but Cai Lin was walking too fast and Zi Yan couldn't keep up with her speed, so she had to give up.
The Jian Family's residence is right next to the Nalan Family's. This is what Xiao Yu asked Ya Fei. He had been to the Nalan Family twice and still remembered how he got there.
When he arrived above the Nalan Family, he immediately saw the Jian family's residence next to it. This residence looked extremely luxurious, much more so than the Nalan Family. It was indeed worthy of being the second most powerful family, almost catching up with the Mittel Family.
Xiao Yu stood in mid-air above the Jian family mansion and shouted, "Which one of you is the young master of the Jian Family? Come out and let me take a good look!"
Xiao Yu's voice, like rolling thunder, resounded throughout the sky, drawing everyone's attention to Xiao Yu direction.
"How dare you! Who are you? How dare you cause trouble in my Jian Family?" An old man stepped out of the Jian Family, shouted angrily, and then flapped his wings and flew into the sky. The aura of Peak Dou Wang was suddenly released, causing a chorus of exclamations from the surroundings.
"That's... the Great Elder of the Jian Family, isn't it?"
"That's right, I've met Great Elder Jian Family; he's Peak Dou Wang level expert!"
"Really? They're already this strong, and yet someone still dares to cause trouble? Isn't that just courting death?"
"What do you know? Look at this guy, isn't he also a Dou Wang)? He might be the Jian Family's enemy!"
The crowd buzzed with discussion, all standing aside watching the spectacle unfold.
Xiao Yu glanced at the old man and said, "You're the steward of the Jian Family?"
"I am Jian Qian, the Great Elder of the Jian Qian Jian Family!" Jian Qian said arrogantly, his expression also filled with pride upon seeing that the person in front of him was a young man.
Meanwhile, at the Nalan Family nearby, Nalan Jie and Nalan Su both heard Xiao Yu's voice and felt a sense of familiarity. They came out of the Nalan Family and saw a young man standing high in the sky. Upon closer inspection, they were surprised to find that it was Xiao Yu.
"Go to the palace immediately and tell Elder Jia and His Majesty that Xiao Yu has returned. Go quickly!" Nalan Jie sensed something was amiss and hurriedly ordered Nalan Su to go to the palace to report the news.
Nalan Su nodded solemnly and then headed towards the palace.
Immediately, Nalan Jie stomped his foot hard and flew onto the roof, where he and Xiao Yu Jian Qian at each other from afar. Xiao Yu naturally noticed the Nalan father and son and nodded slightly as a greeting. Now the Nalan Family and the Xiao Clan had no relationship anymore, so there was no need to maintain that little bit of face!
Moreover, Xiao Yu's strength is far beyond what the Nalan Family can regard as an equal. After all, the Nalan Family cannot afford a Fifth-grade Alchemist. Of course, Xiao Yu is now Sixth Grade Alchemist.
Nalan Jie stepped forward, cupped his hands slightly, and smiled at Xiao Yu, saying, "Young friend Xiao Yu, may I ask what brings you here?"
Jian Qian, who was opposite him, naturally recognized Nalan Jie Nalan Jie asked, "Old Master Nalan, do you know him?"
Nalan Jie glanced at Xiao Yu and then nodded slightly, saying, "Not bad."
Xiao Yu smiled faintly at Nalan Jie and said, "I heard that Jian Family came to the Imperial Capital, they wanted to scheme against the Mittel Family Mittel Family and even wanted to form a marriage alliance with them. I wanted to see what kind of young talent they were and what kind of strength they possessed."
Before Nalan Jie could speak, Jian Qian burst into laughter, "Strength? Young brother, I'll forgive your rudeness this time since you know Old Master Nalan. Why don't you go out and ask around in the Imperial Capital? Is the Jian Family stronger than the Mittel Family now?"
"Besides, His Majesty is aware of the marriage alliance with the Mittel Family. What, this is a matter of the Imperial Family, do you have any objections?" Jian Qian sneered.
Seeing Jian Qian's smug expression, Xiao Yu chuckled and said, "It seems there's a saying that's true: without experiencing the vastness of the outside world, one can only amuse oneself within one's own limited perspective!"
"You think you can act so arrogantly in our Jian Family with the strength of a mere Dou Wang? Aren't you underestimating Jian Family? Is it the Mittel Family that gives you this confidence?" As he spoke, Jian Qian's eyes suddenly turned gloomy. "Go back and tell Teng Shan that the Imperial Family is already dissatisfied with the Mittel Family. If you know what's good for you, cooperate with our Jian Family as soon as possible and pledge allegiance to the Imperial Family. Otherwise, the Mittel Family will either die or leave the Jia Ma Empire. I think neither of these choices is what Teng Shan wants to see, is it?"
Nalan Jie, standing to the side, felt a sinking feeling upon hearing Jian Qian's words, and immediately retorted sharply, "Jian Qian, you've gone too far!"
Xiao Yu glanced at Nalan Jie and chuckled, "It seems the Imperial Family really did put in a lot of effort behind the scenes. I wonder if your Nalan Family was involved?"
Looking at the smile on Xiao Yu's face, Nalan Jie felt a sudden sense of fear and quickly shook his head, saying, "No, the Nalan Family has absolutely no involvement in the Imperial Family. They just want the Jian Family to replace the Mittel Family!"
