The Mittel Family's Failed Takeoff

Qin Yu couldn't help but laugh out loud at Xiao Yi Xian's stubborn look.

This girl is really...

"How dare you laugh at me!"

"Okay, okay, I won't laugh anymore."

After Xiao Yi Xian's actions, the atmosphere between the two became somewhat different.

Qin Yu didn't bring up the previous matter again, but instead had his own thoughts.

"Hey, why are you staring at me like that?"

After strolling around the streets of the Imperial Capital for a while, Xiao Yi Xian finally couldn't stand Qin Yu's lewd gaze any longer and turned her head away.

"First, I didn't call you 'Hey'; second, what's wrong with me looking at you? Haven't I seen every inch of your body?"

"You, hmph!"

Enraged, Xiao Yi Xian turned her head to the other side and walked forward on her own, her steps becoming heavier.

"121...121... Halt!"

As a result, Qin Yu walked slowly behind her, even calling out rhythms to match Xiao Yi Xian's pace.

The most amazing thing was that when Qin Yu shouted the word "Stand still," Xiao Yi Xian actually stopped.

"Qin Yu!"

"Hey, why did you call me?"

The two bickered all the way, and only after they had had their fill of playing did they find a place to stay.

Without Zi Yan's interference, Xiao Yi Xian was finally able to relax a bit and wasn't so easily shy anymore.

"Waaah... no, what if Zi Yan comes back later?"

"No, it won't."

"Why not? You last that long each time."

Qin Yu had intended to take advantage of this rare free time to have a game with Xiao Yi Xian, but it didn't work out in the end.

Well, all I can say is that the effects of the Golden Kidney Warrior are truly remarkable.

"Then I'll go out for a walk."

Where are you going?

"Calm down."

Xiao Yi Xian is really something. Why didn't she refuse him earlier or later? She just had to pull him back when he was about to mount his horse.

Stepping out of the inn, the cool evening breeze finally calmed Qin Yu's anger somewhat.

Then, Qin Yu walked along the street towards the Mittel Family's direction.

But before he had walked for two minutes, Zi Yan suddenly descended from the sky and landed precisely in front of him.

"Qin Yu! I've found something great!"

Oh? Good stuff?

"It's right there!"

Zi Yan spoke, she pointed in a direction.

Qin Yu looked in the direction she was pointing and immediately fell silent.

Jia Ma Imperial Palace.

"You're referring to the palace."

"Yes! It's perfectly reasonable for the palace to have good things, isn't it?"

Zi Yan nodded matter-of-factly, as if she felt that her logic was perfectly sound.

"Do you need to tell me this?!"

After an unknown amount of time, Zi Yan once again ate the familiar sharp rap on the head.

"Well... there really are some good things there..."

Zi Yan covered her forehead and muttered something under her breath, looking aggrieved.

"Alright, alright, go play somewhere cool. If you've had enough, go back and rest. You should be able to find your Xiao Yi Xian sister's location."

This girl, she's been playing all day, has she lost her mind?

"Um... I'll head back now."

After Zi Yan left, Qin Yu walked for a while longer, and a mansion appeared in front of him that was luxurious in both size and decoration.

The gate plaque of the mansion prominently displays the three characters "Mittel," exuding grandeur and ostentation.

"Teng Shan, you've done a good job these past few years."

In the main hall of the Mittel Family, Hai Bo Dong sat casually in the main seat, listening to Mittel Tengshan, the current patriarch of the Mittel Family, report on the family's situation over the years.

"It's just my duty. In the years you've been away, although the Mittel Family has maintained its facade, in reality... it's not what it used to be."

Mittel Tengshan's tone carried a clear sense of awe.

When he saw Hai Bo Dong, Mittel Tengshan almost thought he was about to die and was hallucinating.

But what followed was a deep sense of unease.

He knew Hai Bo Dong's temperament.

Logically speaking, the Mittel Family has declined somewhat in recent years, and given Hai Bo Dong's temperament before his disappearance, he should have been furious.

However, it now seems that Hai Bo Dong must have experienced a huge change during the years he disappeared.

Their tempers have become much more restrained than before.

"But now that Elder Hai has returned, our Mittel Family will surely regain its former status!"

Hai Bo Dong waved his hand and said calmly:

"Let's not talk about anything else. I'm only back this time to check on the family's situation. Just do what you're supposed to do."

Teng Shan nodded quickly, hesitated for a moment, and then asked:

"Elder Hai, what are your plans for the future? Would you like to stay at the family residence for a while longer? We've always kept a courtyard for you."

"I can't stay for too long; I'll be heading to Wutan City in a few days."

Teng Shan was quite surprised to hear this. What was Elder Hai to do in a remote border town like Wutan City? What was there that warranted his personal trip there?

Um...

Wutan City...

Aside from Ya Fei, who was sent there, Mittel Tengshan couldn't think of anything Hai Bo Dong could do in Wutan City.

Speaking of which, it seems that Ya Fei is going to be recalled to the Imperial Capital these past two years because of her good performance?

Hai Bo Dong didn't intend to explain and was about to go rest when suddenly his brow twitched slightly, as if he sensed something, and his figure instantly disappeared from the hall.

The front gate of the Mittel Family.

Qin Yu had just reached the door and hadn't even had a chance to speak when, in a flash, a blue figure appeared before him.

"Kid, you're here?"

Hai Bo Dong stood with his hands behind his back, a smile on his face, his demeanor completely different from when he was in Desert City.

After regaining his Dou Emperor strength, the sharp edge of a powerful being had completely returned to him.

"Well, I'm just taking a walk, and there's something I wanted to tell you, senior."

"Okay, please come in and have a seat."

Hai Bo Dong patted Qin Yu on the shoulder with a smile and walked with him into the Mittel Family's luxurious mansion.

The two walked through the porch and into the hall, where Teng Shan was waiting.

"Elder Hai, who is this...?"

After the two entered, Mittel Tengshan immediately stepped forward.

"Qin Yu, Sixth-Grade Alchemist, is the one who helped me refine the Poe Dan to restore my strength."

Teng Shan's pupils contracted sharply, and he quickly bowed respectfully.

"So it's Mr. Qin! My apologies for not recognizing you!"

"Sir, your help in restoring Elder Hai's strength is an immense favor to the Mittel Family. In the future, if the Mittel Family ever needs anything, please don't hesitate to ask!"

Sixth-Grade Alchemist! Elder Hai really gave him a big surprise!

Not only did he return with the strength of Dou Emperor, but he also brought a Sixth-Grade Alchemist with him!

The Mittel Family is about to take off!

"Chief Teng Shan, you're too kind. I was just fulfilling my promise."

After the three sat down, Qin Yu told Hai Bo Dong about his previous encounter with Yun Yun, and Hai Bo Dong immediately became interested.

When he became famous, Yun Yun was still a disciple of that old guy Yun Shan, and was only at the Dou Wang realm.

Unexpectedly, this girl has now reached the Dou Emperor, and her strength is even slightly greater than his when he first recovered.

At the same time, Mittel Tengshan also learned the true relationship between Qin Yu and Hai Bo Dong, and felt disappointed.

The takeoff failed.
