At the entrance of the Mittel family compound,
Liu Yun waved lightly behind him, then turned and walked into the room on the back of a Thick-winged Bird. Behind him, Mittel Tengshan waved back, a helpless expression on his face.
Thick-winged Birds were common flying beasts on the continent, and the Mittel family had many such mounts. Naturally, Liu Yun was also equipped with one for this trip.
Since accepting the system's mission, Liu Yun had been determined to go to the Monster Mountain Range. Coincidentally, Utan City was adjacent to the Monster Mountain Range, and this trip would be perfect for witnessing the famous scene of annulment.
Thus, under the manipulation of Clan Chief Tengshan, he became the CEO (also known as the head) of the Mittel Auction House's Utan City branch.
As the young master of the Mittel family, Liu Yun's entourage for this trip was quite large. A nine-star Grand Dou Master, two Dou Masters, and a dozen Dou Zhe guards protected him at all times.
This lineup could sweep through the three major families of Utan City, but even so, his adoptive grandfather was still worried, leaving Liu Yun speechless.
The Thick-Winged Bird's enormous wings flapped slowly, wisps of wind-attribute energy swirling beneath it. Watching the figures below grow smaller and smaller, Liu Yun found it quite captivating.
The Thick-Winged Bird would need five days to reach Wutan City, so Liu Yun, with nothing else to do, enjoyed the scenery along the way.
This was Liu Yun's first time traveling since birth. Previously obsessed with cultivation, he had now reached the tenth level of Dou Qi. His Dou Qi was abundant, yet he couldn't break through to the Dou Zhe level, so he was unusually idle. At
the Mittel Auction House in Wutan City
, Ya Fei had just left the auction house when she received news that her family had dispatched their head to Wutan City. Her initial joy at the successful auction vanished instantly.
She had only just established herself in Wutan City, and now headquarters was sending someone; this was bound to cause her trouble. What worried her most was whether her family would bring up the marriage proposal again.
From the beginning, her family had planned for her to marry into the Mu family. That's why she applied to come to Wutan City, a little-known town. Partly, she wanted to make a name for herself, but more importantly, she wanted to escape this arranged marriage.
Now that her family had specifically sent people, she probably couldn't resist, Ya Fei thought dejectedly.
Five days later, a huge, thick-winged bird landed in Wutan City. Liu Yun walked out, looking at the curious faces below, as if seeing her past self.
Walking along the not-so-wide street, Liu Yun arrived at the end, where a three-story building stood before her—the Mittel Auction House.
Because there was no auction, there were few guests today. All the staff stood at the entrance, forming two long queues, looking quite impressive.
At the head were a young girl and an old man.
The old man's hair was somewhat white, and he wore a robe of superior quality. On his chest was a symbol resembling a medicine furnace, with two silver ripples shimmering with noble brilliance.
Liu Yun sized up the old man, and based on the original story, he could guess his identity: Master Gu Ni, the only second-grade alchemist at the Mittel Auction House in Wutan City, and also a three-star Grand Dou Master.
His attention then shifted to the woman beside him. She was a woman of dignified bearing, yet every gesture was irresistible.
She wore a red robe, her voluptuous figure almost bursting forth, and her face was breathtakingly beautiful.
She was a towering 1.75 meters tall, wearing sky-high heels of about ten centimeters; for a moment, Liu Yun even felt short.
Without a doubt, this was Ya Fei, the chief auctioneer of the Mittel Auction House.
Upon seeing Liu Yun and his group arrive, Ya Fei and Gu Ni, along with all the staff, bowed respectfully.
The notification from headquarters had arrived five days ago; they already knew that this young, handsome man would be the head of the Mittel Auction House in Wutan City.
The "head of the department" is similar to a boss, hence this welcoming ceremony—it's the utmost respect they can show.
"On behalf of all the auction house staff, Ya Fei welcomes the head of the department," Ya Fei said.
Her alluring, bone-melting voice sent a shiver down Liu Yun's spine. He couldn't believe such a stunning beauty existed.
He stood there stunned for a good ten seconds before slowly regaining his senses. Meeting the pairs of questioning eyes, he coughed awkwardly twice and began to respond.
"Cousin Ya Fei, you flatter me. And Master Gu Ni, please rise. I'm new here and will need your help!" Liu Yun stepped forward, acting as if they were old friends.
"Cousin Liu Yun, it's you?" Ya Fei exclaimed in surprise.
Although Ya Fei had never met Liu Yun, she had heard her elders mention him more than once. Whether he was a cultivation genius or not was another matter, but he was definitely a cultivation fanatic.
It's said that Liu Yun started practicing Qi cultivation at the age of three, and by eleven he had already reached the ninth level of Dou Qi. Now, three more years have passed, and he has probably already broken through to the Dou Zhe level.
"It's me, your cousin, Sister Ya Fei. Although I don't usually meet many people, I've often heard of your name
, Sister Ya Fei," Liu Yun said affectionately. "Don't talk nonsense. What reputation could I possibly have? But you, cousin Liu Yun, I heard you're a cultivation fanatic. I thought you'd be a dull child, but I didn't expect you to be so witty," Ya Fei said with a smile.
At this moment, Ya Fei also breathed a slight sigh of relief. She had originally thought that the family had sent someone to arrange a marriage for her, but it turned out to be the young master of the Mittel family coming to play. It was truly both funny and exasperating.

"Master Gu Ni, you can go ahead with your work. Everyone else, please disperse.
Sister Ya Fei, could you please prepare a room for me? The journey has been too tiring; I need to get a good night's sleep," Liu Yun said.
Ya Fei rolled her eyes at him, thinking, "What do you mean 'tired from the journey'? That thick-winged bird is the one who's tired! How many steps did you walk?" However, outwardly, she smiled and agreed, welcoming Liu Yun into the auction house and arranging a room for him on the third floor.
Closing the door, Liu Yun eagerly opened the system, because just now, a heavenly mechanical voice had echoed in his mind.
"Ding, a target that can be bound has been detected: Ya Fei. Would you like to bind? (Binding return method: 100% auction return.)"
Auction return: All items personally auctioned by Ya Fei will be 100% returned to the host. "
Auction return? Won't I be rich?" Liu Yun danced with joy, hurriedly saying, "System, confirm binding with Ya Fei."
"Ding, congratulations host, you have bound Ya Fei, the chief auctioneer of the Mittel Auction House in Utan City."
He opened Ya Fei's personal panel.
