Oba Pa froze. Two figures leapt over the Xiao Estate wall, landing before Xiao Jian.
One of them unleashed an attack, knocking him back.
"Miss Yafe Master Guni?"
Surprised, Oba Pa's face twisted.
"Oba clan leader, Xiao Jian is a friend of the Mittel family.
If you touch him, you make an enemy of the Mittel family!"
Half her body shielding Xiao Jian, Yafe's face was cold, her voice resolute.
Oba Pa's pupils shrank instantly.
Yafe was the chief auctioneer of the Mittel Auction House in Wu Tan City.
Her words could represent the Auction House, though not necessarily the Mittel family as a whole.
But from her tone, it seemed Xiao Jian's connection went beyond mere friendship.
Perhaps she exaggerated to intimidate him. Regardless, anyone planning to act now would be provoking her.....and with Master Guni present as well, the previous display proved Xiao Jian could not be touched.
Damn it! How had this young man managed to captivate even Yafi?
Oba Pa's face turned a mix of pale blue and white.
"Thank you, Sister Yafi, Master Guni," Xiao Jian said, smiling lightly as he stepped forward.
"You're welcome, Master Xiao Jian," Master Guni replied kindly.
"Fortunately, my subordinates reported to me in time, or I wouldn't have been able to intervene.
Doing something this big—no warning for me?" Yafi's voice carried a hint of scolding.
"Hehe, it was sudden. I acted on impulse," Xiao Jian said apologetically, smiling.
Watching Master Guni's respect toward Xiao Jian, Oba Pa realized that Xiao Jian's talent had likely caught the Mittel family's attention.
Attacking openly would be unwise. It was better to retreat and plan carefully.
The Oba family could not afford to provoke the Mittel family.
"Miss Yafi, since the Mittel family wants to protect the Xiao family, I'll give you this face… I'm leaving!"
Oba Pa forced a grim smile, suppressing his frustration, and spoke coldly.
"Hehe… you dare attack my disciple and think you can just walk away?"
Suddenly, an old, domineering voice echoed from nowhere.
Xiao Jian's eyes twitched.
He's gotten himself a Dou Zun master out of nowhere?!
"Who's there?!"
Oba Pa frowned, shouting.
Before his words fell, a black-robed figure appeared in the courtyard without warning.
Oba Pa frowned, staring at the mysterious black-robed figure whose face was hidden beneath a hood.
But his pupils suddenly constricted as recognition struck.....this was the mysterious alchemist from a few months ago, the one who had auctioned the Foundation-Building Spirit Liquid!
Wait… what did that mean? Xiao Jian was his disciple?
Damn it! Xiao Jian had done this on purpose!
In Oba Pa's mind, a brutal scenario unfolded: Xiao Jian had intentionally concealed having such a powerful teacher, luring them into a trap to annihilate them in one fell swoop.
In reality, Xiao Jian hadn't planned that far ahead. He was improvising step by step.
Still, his perspective was almost godlike, allowing him to anticipate things ordinary people could not.
Without that foresight, the Xiao family might have faced a serious crisis today.
In Wu Tan City, Xiao Jian could shake the heavens at will—and still have Xiao Yan fetch Yao Lao if needed.
From this angle, calling Yao Lao "teacher" wasn't an exaggeration.
After all, wherever people gather, connections exist.
Nobody helps someone completely unrelated for free.
Yao Lao had once experienced the betrayal of a disciple.
He feared being let down again, yet he also longed to train another prodigy who could surpass Han Feng in every aspect.....not just to revive himself, but to find peace of mind.
Moreover, Yao Lao was far from a kindly old man. When he killed, it was merciless.
To reach the peak of Dou Zun, he had faced countless life-and-death trials.
