What? Elder Hai Was Teaching Ya Fei How to Win Xiao Yan's Heart?

Miter Auction House.

Ya Fei wore a black cheongsam with gold embroidery and black high heels with red soles. Her fair and beautiful legs, which were usually exposed, were now covered by sheer black stockings, adding to her mystery.

Her long, wine-red hair was styled into a mature woman's bun and secured with a glittering phoenix-tail hairpin, which made her already mature charm even more profound, like a fine, aged wine.

At this moment, her delicate eyebrows were slightly furrowed, her beautiful eyes were somewhat vacant, and her luscious red lips were slightly parted. With each breath, the mountain undulated, but no one could appreciate this beautiful scene.

Ya Fei felt a little disappointed.

After taking advantage of her, the wicked younger brother Xiao Yan ran away with a group of pretty girls!

Although she understood why Xiao Yan was acting so anxiously, she still felt some emotion herself.

She could understand, but she still felt uncomfortable!

Even if you really have to leave, at least feed her before you go!

How could one night of pleasure possibly ease her years of longing?

At the very least, we should drain my bad brother dry so that he won't even think about getting involved with women for a while. That's the right way to do it!

"Huh? Who!"

Although she was distracted, Ya Fei's current strength was no ordinary person. With Hai Bodong's guidance, her combat power was something that even Xiao Yan had been amazed by.

Every "entrance" leading to her office was already covered with crisscrossing ice threads condensed from Mystic Ice Dou Qi. This meticulous mastery of ice-attribute Dou Qi was the foundation upon which Hai Bodong once amazed everyone by fighting two opponents at once.

Clearly, Ya Fei has truly mastered the art.

"Hehe, I saw you were daydreaming, and I was going to give you a heads-up. I didn't expect you to have mastered Elder Hai's methods so well. Not bad, you truly deserve to be the young Clan Chief I chose against all odds!"

A deep voice echoed in the room. Ya Fei's gaze suddenly swept over and she saw an old man in a magnificent robe sitting on the sofa with a smile. He picked up a teacup, poured himself a sip, and took a sip.

"Great Elder!"

Upon recognizing the person's identity, Ya Fei's initial Dou Qi dissipated.

Mittel Teng Shan was the second person she respected in the entire Mittel Family.

If it weren't for Elder Tengshan's strong opposition, she would have needed to spend a considerable amount of time proving her abilities to rise to power.

Time is precious to Xiao Yan, but it is equally precious to her.

After all, she really wanted to fight alongside Xiao Yan.

Empress of Gold in her past life, so she should experience a different life eventually.

"Is that kid named Xiao Yan really Dou Wang expert?"

Teng Shan still had a smiling expression, but there was clearly an element of disbelief in his tone.

Although he had anticipated that Ya Fei and Elder Hai would be staying in Wutan City.

But he really didn't expect that this old man and young boy could give him such a big job.

If it weren't for the fact that he had been in contact with the Shadow Guard and knew the whole story, he would have thought that Elder Hai and Ya Fei were confused!

Such a big matter was handled without prior consultation, which has caused quite a stir within the clan!

Fortunately, he had accumulated considerable prestige over the years, which stabilized the situation; otherwise, Ya Fei's status as the young Clan Chief would have been taken back by those indignant fools.

"Of course, to go from Dou Zhe to the Seven-Star Peak Dou King in less than four years—such talent, if it weren't for Elder Hai's decisive proposal of a marriage alliance, the Mittel Family probably wouldn't even have had the chance to curry Xiao Family with the Xiao family in the future."

Although Ya Fei felt a little lost because of Xiao Yan's departure, she was still genuinely proud of her man.

As for why Xiao Yan's talent was so abnormal, she was actually the least surprised.

Back then, Xiao Yan advanced from the Three-Stage Dou Qi to the Peak Dou King in just six years!

It's actually quite reasonable that he has risen from Dou Zhe to the Seven-Star Peak Dou King in just four years.

After all, even her talent has improved so much, so Xiao Yan, who was already a genius, should naturally be even stronger!

But no one else knows about this.

Therefore, after hearing Ya Fei's highly praising words, Elder Tengshan fell silent.

Damn it, he cultivated for decades and only reached the Eight-Star Dou Wang, while this kid Xiao Yan actually reached the Seven-Star Peak Dou King in just four years?

While geniuses shouldn't be judged by conventional standards, this kind of genius is truly disheartening!

"Sigh, although I got some information before coming here and prepared quite a dowry for you, it still seems not enough."

Mittel Teng Shan sighed somewhat helplessly.

He understood what Ya Fei and Elder Hai meant.

This is a high-stakes gamble.

I'm betting that the Xiao Family can rise to prominence and stand at the pinnacle of the continent!

If they win the bet, the Mittel Family will rise to prominence; if they lose, they will perish along with the Xiao Family.

But...

Four years to Seven-Star Peak Dou King...

How could we possibly lose?

That's really difficult!

I have absolutely no idea how I could lose!

Besides, he couldn't guarantee Ya Fei's judgment, but he had complete faith in Elder Hai's judgment!

The Mittel Family was able to emerge from the near-annihilation crisis thanks to Elder Hai's vision and his own strength.

Since Elder Hai has taken the initiative to propose a marriage alliance, then as the Great Elder, he must comply.

"There's no need for that. The family can't offer Xiao Yan much. The main thing is to help the Xiao Family rise through our connections and resources. For Xiao Yan, the greatest help we can give is to help him develop the family and stabilize the rear."

Ya Fei said with a faint smile.

"It seems you know Xiao Yan quite well."

Mittel Teng Shan said thoughtfully.

"Um."

Ya Fei nodded slightly, too embarrassed to tell the Great Elder that she was the first woman in the world who knew Xiao Yan inside and out.

Since they've shared a bed, they obviously know each other very well.

After all, she had been reborn and knew Xiao Yan's future achievements and what kind of person he was. She wasn't worried that Xiao Yan would abandon her after starting something!

In her view, becoming Xiao Yan's woman was actually very simple.

Drug him, put him to sleep, and make him take responsibility.

This naughty younger brother is the kind of person who responds better to gentle persuasion than force. Besides, every man has a possessive streak; after sleeping together, how could he possibly watch his woman grow old alone?

Hmph, little Xiao Yan, easy to handle!

The thought that she was the first to enjoy the soup made Ya Fei's eyes crinkle slightly, a joyful light sparkling in them.

This was well worth all her years of hard work in cultivation and her painstaking help to the Xiao Family.

As Xiao Yan's first woman, and almost certainly the first woman he would marry, Ya Fei felt that, apart from Xun'er, his childhood sweetheart with a powerful background and deep affection, even Queen Medusa could not possibly hold a more important place in Xiao Yan's heart than her.

Speaking of which, Elder Hai mentioned it before, saying that this kid's relationship with Queen Medusa was not simple, and that he even gave Xiao Yan a lap pillow for the first time ever!

Could it be that the woman was also reborn?

But it doesn't matter, she's already far ahead.

Seeing Ya Fei suddenly fall into deep thought, and blush from time to time, Elder Tengshan was completely dumbfounded.

He could see that investing in Xiao Yan was real, but it was also true that his own young Clan Chief liked Xiao Yan!

Well, this is fine too. As the young Clan Chief of the Mittel Family, her future husband is someone she likes, and someone the Mittel Family is willing to invest everything in. This is already the most perfect situation.

However, he now genuinely wants to meet Xiao Yan.

It's quite intriguing that someone could be so captivating to Ya Fei!

"Teng Shan, you've arrived pretty quickly."

Just as Mittel Teng Shan was pondering, a detached voice rang out, and then a handsome middle-aged man in an ice-blue robe suddenly appeared on the chair opposite Mittel Teng Shan, holding an empty teacup in his hand.

"Elder Hai!"

Mittel Teng Shan quickly stood up and bowed.

"Teacher."

Ya Fei also stood up and bowed with a smile, but unlike Mittel Teng Shan, she was not reserved. Instead, she was more casual. She left her desk, walked over, and poured Hai Bodong a full cup of tea.

She was completely unaware of Hai Bodong's appearance.

After all, all of this knowledge she possessed was taught by Elder Hai, so it would be very difficult for her to defend against Elder Hai.

"Hmm, why aren't you at the Xiao Family with Xiao Yan? What are you doing at the Auction House?"

A gentle smile appeared on Hai Bodong's usually indifferent face, which made Mittel Teng Shan, who was standing next to him, widen his eyes.

That's unbelievable! The Elder Hai can even laugh?

He had known Elder Hai for decades, and he had rarely seen him smile.

"Sigh, don't even mention it. That scoundrel only stayed home for one night and then ran off the next day, saying he had some things to take care of in the Monster Mountain Range and would be back in a few days. But it's been several days now, and there's still no sign of him."

Ya Fei immediately felt wronged and began to complain to Elder Hai.

"That kid!"

Upon hearing this, Elder Hai frowned, the tea in his cup froze instantly, and a terrifying aura surged from his body.

"Elder Hai, your strength!?"

Feeling the terrifying Dou Qi emanating from Hai Bodong's body, Mittel Teng Shan was somewhat excited.

In his perception, Hai Bodong's aura was almost on par with that old monster from the Jia Ma Imperial Family!

However, upon hearing his question, Hai Bodong suppressed his anger, sighed helplessly, and looked at Ya Fei with an apologetic expression:

"Thanks to that kid's pills, my strength has now increased to the Seven-Star Dou Emperor. You're obligated to help others, so you two should sort out your own affairs."

"Ah?"

Ya Fei was completely taken aback upon hearing this.

Was this her teacher, the Supreme Elder of her family, or Xiao Yan's teacher, the Supreme Elder of the Xiao Family?

"Teacher..."

Ya Fei's eyes turned somewhat resentful. How could this teacher be so useless!

Hai Bodong, being a veteran powerhouse, still had a thick skin. After a dry cough, he spoke:

"After all, this is your family matter. Considering that kid is cultivating like crazy, he probably didn't neglect you on purpose. He might even make it up to you when he gets back. If it were when we first met, I might have been able to stand up for you, but now..."

At this point, Hai Bodong paused for a moment, then, with an air of nonchalance and utterly shameless, said:

"Although that kid is only Dou Wang now, I feel that I probably can't beat him. In my opinion, that kid's character is fine. When he comes back, you can shed some tears in front of him and tell him your grievances. I guarantee you'll make things difficult for him."

Upon hearing this, not only was Ya Fei stunned, but Mittel Teng Shan was also dumbfounded.

What did he see?

Elder Hai Yun Shan, who was proud and refused to admit defeat even when facing Misty Cloud Sect who Peak Dou Emperor, would actually say that he couldn't defeat a Dou Wang?

Elder Hai, who has been single for so many years, as cold as eternal Mystic Ice, and always indifferent to everyone, is actually instructing Ya Fei on how to capture a man's heart?

Is that correct?

Ya Fei pursed her red lips, pondered for a moment, and then realized that Elder Hai's idea...

It actually works!

And the Taihang Mountains!

However, the thought of her wiping away tears in front of Xiao Yan is actually a bit embarrassing.

"Hmph, what's with those looks you're giving me? And what's with those expressions?"

Seeing Ya Fei and Mittel Teng Shan's performance, Hai Bodong was also somewhat displeased. Despite being a popsicle veteran for decades, his experience traveling all over the country was genuine.

"Although I haven't spent much time with Xiao Yan, I can tell that he's incredibly loyal to his own people. The fact that he was able to cultivate to the Dou Wang so quickly couldn't be entirely due to talent; he also relied on a steadfast heart and relentless effort. A person with that kind of character would never abandon his woman, especially one who is completely devoted to him."

As Hai Bodong finished speaking, his gaze fell on Ya Fei, giving his disciple, who was hiding a secret, a meaningful look.

With his discerning eye, he had long ago discerned that Ya Fei harbored extremely deep feelings for Xiao Yan. Although he didn't know why, it didn't prevent him from making some judgments based on this information.

Seeing the meaningful look in Elder Hai's eyes, Ya Fei naturally understood that there were some things she couldn't explain, but also didn't need to explain.

"Fine, I'll cry in front of him when he gets back."

Ya Fei was also quite curious whether Xiao Yan would really panic if she cried. After all, she did have deep feelings for Xiao Yan, but she wasn't sure if he felt the same way about her.

Even though Xiao Yan loved her deeply and intensely that night.

"Don't worry, you have good taste. The person you've chosen is naturally fine. But if that kid really bullies you, I'll risk my life to make sure you don't suffer any injustice."

After all, she was the one who inherited his mantle. Hai Bodong knew what Ya Fei wanted to hear when she complained to him. After all, she was his own disciple, so he would spoil her!

"Hehe, teachers are still the best."

Ya Fei immediately smiled broadly, took an empty cup, filled it with tea, handed it to Hai Bodong, and took the teacup containing ice cubes from his hand, setting it aside.

"You silly girl..."

Seeing this, Hai Bodong smiled helplessly and drank the tea in his cup in one gulp.

Mittel Teng Shan, feeling somewhat out of place, stood there blankly, thinking he shouldn't be there.

"Knock knock knock!"

A knock came at the door, followed by the voice of a maid:

"Young Clan Chief, the son-in-law has arrived."
