You Can't Beat Him

The Auction proceeded as normal. Under Jia Lie Bi's furious gaze, the remaining Snow Jade Spirit Liquid was sold for twenty thousand gold coins each to Ouba Pa, Xiao Zhan, the mysterious figure disguised as Xiao Yan, and several Cultivators!

After auctioning off the Snow Jade Spirit Liquid, Ya Fei immediately announced the sale of the Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid. Upon hearing this, Xiao Yu narrowed his eyes. As expected, it's Xiao Yan!

The Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid was also a Second Grade Pill, differing from the Snow Jade Spirit Liquid only in its effects. This time, Jia Lie Bi did not make the same mistake. There were ten bottles of Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid in total, and the Three Great Families took six of them. Soon, the Auction reached its climax.

"The finale item of this Auction: the Xuan High-Level Technique, Wind Scroll Technique!" Ya Fei's voice rang through the auction house, causing everyone's breathing to halt!

Xiao Yu still remembered some of these events, so he decided not to stay any longer. He quietly leaned over and asked Xun'er, "Want me to sneak you out?"

A trace of anticipation flashed through Xun'er's eyes as she softly replied, "Sure!"

The two of them rose directly from their seats and slipped out of the auction house while Xiao Zhan was not paying attention. On the stage, Ya Fei trembled when she saw Xiao Yu's back. It's him. It must be him. He's from the Xiao Family? Ya Fei was somewhat puzzled, but it was clearly unrealistic to chase after him now, so she could only put the matter aside.

After slipping out, Xiao Yu took Xun'er around Wutan City, happily strolling through its streets. The smile on Xun'er's face never faded throughout the entire afternoon!

After the Auction ended, Xiao Yan collected the gold coins earned from auctioning the Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid and left the Miter Auction House. After deducting the twenty thousand gold coins he had spent on the Snow Jade Spirit Liquid, he had earned a total of two hundred thousand gold coins, enough to support his cultivation until the Coming of Age Ceremony!

Over the next few months, Xiao Yan diligently cultivated, while Xiao Yu improved his strength and practiced Dou Techniques. Everything proceeded in an orderly fashion.

The day after tomorrow would be the family's Coming of Age Ceremony. Xiao Yu sat cross-legged on his bed, slowly cultivating his technique. By now, he had returned to the strength of a Four-star Dou Zhe.

"The Miter Auction House has also finished auctioning all of the Snow Jade Spirit Liquid over the past few months. Tomorrow, it should be time to collect the gold coins. With the money, my cultivation should be able to speed up even further!" Xiao Yu thought after finishing his cultivation.

The next day, early morning.

Xiao Yu left home early and headed for the Miter Auction House.

For the past few months, Ya Fei had been watching for Xiao Yu's arrival at the auction house. To her disappointment, he had not appeared once, so when he came today, Ya Fei was the first to receive the news.

"You finally came!" Ya Fei said as she looked at Xiao Yu.

"Some matters held me up, so I couldn't come," Xiao Yu said with a smile.

Ya Fei suddenly asked, "Really? You're from the Xiao Family, aren't you?"

Xiao Yu was immediately at a loss, wondering how to explain himself, when Ya Fei said, "Actually, I recognized you at the last Auction!"

Xiao Yu froze, then smiled wryly. "You're really impressive!" He then removed his mask. When Ya Fei saw Xiao Yu's face, her breath caught slightly, and her heart began pounding wildly. He's so handsome!

"What's wrong?" Xiao Yu asked.

"Nothing, nothing!" Ya Fei shook her head. "You're Xiao Yu?"

Xiao Yu smiled faintly. "You know me too?"

Ya Fei laughed softly. "Is there anyone in Wutan City who doesn't know you two brothers? Two geniuses..." Then, as if she had remembered something, she quickly covered her mouth.

Xiao Yu did not mind. "I know. But perhaps tomorrow, the Xiao Family will truly have two geniuses!"

Ya Fei quickly nodded. "Did you come today to collect your gold coins?"

Xiao Yu nodded. "That's right!"

Ya Fei took out a Gold Card from her bosom. "There are one million nine hundred thousand gold coins on this. Keep it safe!"

Xiao Yu accepted the card, still warm from her body, and asked in surprise, "That much?"

"Second Grade Pills naturally fetch a higher price. As for the First Grade Pill, the Xuan Ling Pill, Master Gu Ni bought it himself at its highest valuation of one hundred thousand gold coins!" Ya Fei said.

"Isn't that too much?" Xiao Yu asked.

Ya Fei shook her head. "Uncle Gu Ni is very rich. Besides, this pill has great research value to him. One hundred thousand gold coins is definitely not too high!"

"Alright!" Xiao Yu naturally did not dwell on it, though he had indeed seen just how wealthy alchemists could be!

After leaving the Miter Auction House, Xiao Yu planned to head to the Market District to buy some medicinal ingredients for alchemy. He also intended to refine more pills before venturing into the Monster Beast Mountain Range to test himself, and perhaps visit the white moonlight in his heart, Yun Yun!

(Xiao Yu was a pervert, but the author wasn't!)

With a large amount of gold coins on hand, Xiao Yu went on a shopping spree in the Market District. This was where the Green Ring Ya Fei had given him proved useful—its storage space was enormous. Only after buying five hundred thousand gold coins' worth of medicinal ingredients did Xiao Yu prepare to leave the Market District.

Just as he was about to exit the gates, a furious female shout came from behind him. "Stop right there, you little bastard!"

The voice arrived before its owner did. Xiao Yu found it somewhat familiar, but before he could recall who it was, a figure flashed toward him. He immediately dodged a jade-like hand reaching for his ear!

"Manly woman? When did you come back?" Xiao Yu blurted out, only to regret it the moment he said it.

Sure enough, Xiao Yu roared angrily, "You still dare call me a manly woman! I'll teach you a lesson!" As she spoke, the whip in her hand swept toward him. But how could the current Xiao Yu possibly lose to her? She was only a Three-star Dou Zhe, after all. Of course, she had never beaten Xiao Yu in the past either!

Xiao Yu shifted slightly, and Xiao Yu's whip instantly lost its target!

Xiao Yu was utterly stunned. "What kind of Movement Technique was that? And how are you so strong?"

Xiao Yu stopped three meters away from Xiao Yu and said in an infuriating tone, "Why should I tell you? With my talent, isn't it only natural that I'm a little stronger?"

Xiao Yu's face flushed red, but upon thinking about it, he was right. Xiao Yu and Xiao Yan were publicly acknowledged as the Xiao Family's number one and number two talents. Who knew why all the good talent had gone to the Main Branch!

"I came back on leave this time to see my little brother. Also, Jia Nan Academy is coming to Wutan City to recruit students. Are you coming, you little bastard?" Xiao Yu asked.

Xiao Yu replied casually, "Depends on my mood."

Xiao Yu rolled her eyes, but she could not refute him. Who knew how this monstrous little bastard cultivated? At only fifteen years old, he had already become a Dou Zhe. Jia Nan Academy would be desperate to have him join the academy!

Of course, Xiao Yu still did not know that Xiao Yu was already a Four-star Dou Zhe. Otherwise, Jia Nan Academy would go mad. After all, over the years, Jia Nan Academy had produced only one S-Class Freshman: the Little Demoness!

"You should go back and teach your little brother a lesson. Instead of cultivating properly all day, he just bullies people in the family!" Xiao Yu said before slipping away.

Xiao Yu was bewildered. "My little brother? Bullying clan members?" She then headed toward the Xiao Family as well.

As soon as Xiao Yu returned home, she went to Xiao Ning's room. The moment Xiao Ning saw Xiao Yu, he threw himself at her and cried out tearfully, "Sis, you're finally back! Xiao Yu bullied me!"

"What?" A flash of anger appeared in Xiao Yu's eyes. "Xiao Yu, you dared bully my little brother!"

"Wait here, I'll go teach him a lesson right now!" Xiao Yu told Xiao Ning and prepared to settle the score with Xiao Yu. But Xiao Ning clung to Xiao Yu's leg and cried, "Sis, don't go. You might not be able to beat him!"
