Just as Emil was about to leave, Ya Fei looked at his back and spoke slowly.
"Mr. Emil, please pass a message on to Valor."
Emil turned around and looked at Ya Fei.
"Please speak, Miss Ya Fei."
Ya Fei looked into Emil's eyes and spoke slowly.
"The Mittel Auction House signed an agreement with Mr. Xiao Yang. Neither the Mittel Auction House nor the family will set its sights on the Sun Wine formula."
"If anyone in the Mite'er Family harbors such intentions, they will face severe punishment from the family."
"After all, this concerns the reputation of the Mittel Auction House."
"As a merchant family, the Mite'er Family values its reputation above all else."
"Mr. Emil is no longer a member of the Mittel Auction House."
"Whatever you choose to do, the Mittel Auction House has no authority to stop you."
"However, Mr. Valor is still an offering of the Mite'er Family."
"So please ask Mr. Valor to think twice before acting."
Emil quietly listened to Ya Fei's words.
The smile on his face did not change in the slightest.
"I understand, Miss Ya Fei."
"I will relay this matter to my father."
"However, Miss Ya Fei may not know something."
"My father has made many contributions to the Mite'er Family over the years."
"And the family's offerings enjoy considerable freedom."
"So my father is now free."
"The two of us, father and son, are no longer members of the Mite'er Family."
As he finished speaking, Emil gave Xiao Yang a meaningful glance.
Then, ignoring Ya Fei's drastically changed expression, he walked straight outside.
Ya Fei's expression was extremely unpleasant at that moment.
What Emil had just said was practically an open declaration.
She looked at Xiao Yang, her face carrying a trace of guilt.
"Xiao Yang, Emil and Valor are very likely to make a move against you."
"My suggestion is that you leave Wutan City as soon as possible."
"Our Mite'er Family will definitely give you an explanation for this matter."
"I never expected even Valor to leave the Mite'er Family."
"I will try to ask the family's experts to come and resolve this matter."
"However, the chances are slim."
"So if it truly comes down to life and death, hand over the Sun Wine formula if you must."
"The Mite'er Family will compensate you as much as possible."
Besides guilt, Ya Fei's face also showed anger.
She knew this definitely was not something Valor and his son had decided on their own.
There seemed to be other powerful members of the Mite'er Family behind this matter.
And most likely, they were higher-ups of the Mite'er Family rather than offerings.
Otherwise, Valor could not have left the Mite'er Family so easily.
After all, an offering held no low status within the Mite'er Family.
Xiao Yang's expression remained unchanged.
"Rest assured, Miss Ya Fei. When the critical moment comes, I know what to do."
"Since there is nothing else, I'll be leaving first."
As he said this, a hint of anticipation even flashed through Xiao Yang's eyes.
"Wait. I'll have the Mittel Auction House guards escort you back."
Ya Fei stopped Xiao Yang.
Xiao Yang refused without hesitation.
"No need, Miss Ya Fei. You do not need to worry about my safety."
Just then, Xiao Yang suddenly thought of something.
"Oh, Miss Ya Fei, there's no need to help me look for the Ice Soul Snow Lotus anymore."
With that, Xiao Yang directly left Ya Fei's office with Xiao Yan.
Watching the two of them leave, Ya Fei fell into a daze.
She could tell that the medicinal ingredients Xiao Yang had been searching for recently were extremely important to him.
After all, Xiao Yang had never placed such importance on anything before.
Not even his restaurant had received this much attention from him.
But now, Xiao Yang was no longer looking for it?
Could it be that he really planned to trade the Sun Wine formula for the Ice Soul Snow Lotus?
Over the past few years, Ya Fei had come to understand that Xiao Yang responded to kindness, not coercion.
She knew Xiao Yang would never do such a thing.
If so, then there was only one explanation.
Xiao Yang could obtain the Ice Soul Snow Lotus himself!
At that thought, Ya Fei was shocked by her own conclusion.
After all, the Ice Soul Snow Lotus was in Emil's hands!
And Emil had Valor, a Dou Ling, by his side!
Other than Valor, there was no other Dou Ling in all of Wutan City!
Looking at the spot where Xiao Yang had just stood, Ya Fei's eyes were filled with disbelief.
Could it be...
After Xiao Yang and Xiao Yan left the Mittel Auction House, they took only the most secluded alleys.
They chose routes with the fewest people on their way back.
However, nothing happened as they made their way all the way to the Xiao Clan.
After returning to Xiao Yang's Courtyard, Xiao Yan said gloomily.
"Teacher, are you sure someone was following us?"
"We've been baiting them all the way here, yet they still didn't take the bait!"
At that moment, Yao Lao slowly appeared as well.
"How could my soul power detection be wrong?"
"A Da Dou Shi and a Battler were indeed following you the entire time. They only left after you returned to the Xiao Clan."
"But you don't need to worry. I secretly left a Soul Seal on Emil just now!"
As he spoke, a villainous smile appeared on Yao Lao's face.
Xiao Yan wore the same expression.
"Teacher, you mean..."
"Heh heh heh!"
"That's right! Emil's location is now completely under my control!"
"We can sneak over to find him tonight!"
"Then we'll be able to gather all the ingredients for the Marrow Cleansing Pill, heh heh heh!"
Yao Lao said with a wicked look on his face.
"Heh heh heh, excellent!"
"That Emil still dared to threaten us!"
Xiao Yan also wore a villainous grin.
At that moment, Xiao Yang stood to the side, covering his face as he watched the master and disciple.
He always felt that he was not twisted enough, which was why he seemed so out of place beside the two of them.
Fortunately, no one saw this scene. Otherwise, the Soul Hall would definitely come knocking to recruit them.
This master and disciple pair were far too Soul Hall-like!
Could these two actually be Medicine Heavenly Venerable and Flame Protector?
Just then, Yao Lao gave a soft exclamation.
"Huh? This Soul Seal seems to be in the Xiao Clan's back mountain?"
Hearing this, surprise flashed across Xiao Yang's face.
"Huh?"
"They can't be planning to do the same thing as last time, can they?"
"Didn't we take all of them down last time?"
Xiao Yan nodded from the side.
"Yeah, they didn't capture us on the road when they had the chance. Instead, they came to the back mountain."
"What are they thinking?"
Just then, Xiao Yang looked at Xiao Yan and suddenly thought of something.
"I know why they didn't capture us on the road."
"It's because you were walking with me!"
Xiao Yang pointed at Xiao Yan.
"Me?"
"Why?"
Xiao Yang raised his brows with an expression that said, you know why.
"Heh heh, you have an engagement."
"On the surface, you're the Nalan Clan's son-in-law."
"And now, Nalan Yanran has been accepted as a disciple by the Misty Cloud Sect's leader. Her status is no small matter."
