Chapter 84 Return to the Xiao Family
"Hurry up and take a look at the list!" Hai Bodong neither admitted nor denied it. He sipped his tea quietly and urged.
Hearing this, Ya Fei nodded slightly, lowered her head, and carefully checked the list. After a moment, she shook her head helplessly and said, "I'm sorry, old man, the medicinal herbs you have here are all rare and precious. Except for the purple spirit fruit that has been auctioned, there are none in the treasury of the branch auction house. However, there are four of them in the inventory list of the Mitel headquarters. If you need them, I can contact the Mitel auction house headquarters and they will be delivered within three days. As for the missing medicinal herbs, I can also ask the clan leader Tengshan of the family. I believe that with the connections of the Mitel auction house, it won't take long for me to help you find them."
"Only four?" Hai Bodong sighed and shook his head, saying, "No need, I don't have that much time. I will write a letter to that loser Mittel Tengshan later. Please help me deliver it as quickly as possible."
Hearing Hai Bodong's words, even though Ya Fei was calm, her face couldn't help but darken. If she hadn't seen the other party take out the purple gold card, she would have thought that he was a lunatic who dared to call Mitel Tengshan, one of the top ten strongest men in the Gama Empire, a waste.
After respectfully handing back the list, Ya Fei called over two maids, handed Xiao Se's jade card and Hai Bodong's purple gold card to them respectively, and whispered a few words in their ears. Upon hearing this, the two maids hurried away.
Taking advantage of the short waiting time, Ya Fei pulled Xiao Se aside and asked in a low voice: "Brother Xiao Se, could this old man Dou Wang be your mysterious teacher? He calls our Tengshan clan leader like this, does he know our Tengshan clan leader?"
Xiao Se smiled and shook his head, saying: "He is just a friend of mine, not my teacher. As for whether he knows your clan leader, I am not sure."
Hearing Xiao Se's answer, Ya Fei did not show a disappointed expression. She took a few steps back, put her arms on her willow waist, looked Xiao Se up and down again, and said with a smile: "It seems that little brother Xiao Se is becoming more and more unfathomable. Not only has he become a second-grade alchemist at such a young age, but he can even make friends with Dou Wang."
"It was just luck." With a faint smile, Xiao Se glanced at the maid who had brought the jade card, and then said to Hai Bodong, "Old Hai, I have to go take care of some personal matters first. Please wait for me at Miter Auction House for a while."
Upon hearing this, Hai Bodong waved his hand casually.
"Sister Yafei, goodbye." After greeting Yafei, Xiao Se turned around, took the jade card returned by the maid, and walked out of the waiting room.
Walking out of the room slowly, watching Xiao Se's receding figure, Ya Fei murmured in her heart: "Thirteen years old, a second-rank alchemist. If they knew that such a genius was completely disappointed in the Xiao family because of the darkness of their family, I'm afraid those old antiques in the Xiao family would regret it to death."
Ever since Xiao Se moved away from Wutan City last time, Ya Fei had intentionally investigated Xiao Se. Who would have thought that a former abandoned child of the Xiao family had unknowingly grown to the level that the entire Xiao family would look up to him?
After coming out of the auction house's waiting room, Xiao Se used his soul power to explore. After confirming that no one was paying attention to him, he turned into an empty alley, put the alchemist robe and mask into his ring, and then took a step forward, following the route he remembered, and returned to the Xiao family.
As soon as he approached the Xiao family's gate, he was stopped by two guards as expected.
"Little brother, this is the Xiao family's territory. Outsiders are not allowed to enter without permission. If you want to look for someone, I can inform them for you." One of the Xiao family guards saw that Xiao Se had an extraordinary temperament and spoke slowly.
Xiao Se shook his head, casually took out a token of an ordinary disciple of the Xiao family, threw it into the hands of the guard, and said calmly: "No need, I am Xiao Se, and I just came back from training."
The guard looked at the token carefully and made way only after confirming that it was correct.
After Xiao Se walked away, another guard couldn't help but ask, "Hey, who is Xiao Se? Is there such a person in the Xiao family?"
The guard shook his head and said with a curled lip: "I don't know either. There are hundreds of young people in the Xiao family. But who cares? Anyway, the token is real."
Walking on the path of the Xiao family's land, Xiao Se recalled the past five years in the Xiao family in his mind and shook his head helplessly. Now that his parents and the old housekeeper have passed away, he has no worries in the Xiao family. If he has to say there is one, it would be Xiao Yu, the childhood sweetheart who has accompanied him for five years.
This time he went back to the Xiao family with only one purpose, which was to see Xiao Yu. Now a year has passed, and if the other party returns from Canaan College, it would be a good opportunity to meet them.
Recalling the scene when Xiao Yu hugged him and cried when they were leaving Canaan College, Xiao Se couldn't help but smile. Perhaps quietly, this childhood sweetheart, like Long Kui, was no longer the paper wife in the previous life, but quietly walked into his heart.
"Xiao Se!" Turning the corner, a careless and uncertain shout made Xiao Se pause. He tilted his head and saw a familiar figure who walked like a second-generation rich kid. He couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Xiao Ning."
"Hey, hey... is it you?" With disbelief in his eyes, Xiao Ning walked over quickly, looked you up and down, and exclaimed, "It's only been a year since we last met, and you've grown so tall. I almost didn't recognize you."
"Maybe it will grow taller as it grows!" Xiao Se shrugged and said casually.
"It's true that comparing yourself to others makes you feel nauseous. No wonder my sister is so worried about you." Looking at Xiao Se's handsome face that has grown up, Xiao Ning said with some envy.
Hearing Xiao Yu, Xiao Se couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Yu is back?"
Xiao Ning nodded and said, "I came back last night, and as soon as I came back I couldn't wait to run to find you, but then I heard that you had disappeared for a year, and now you've locked yourself in the room, and I guess you're crying!"
"Okay, then I'll go find her first." Xiao Se curled the corner of his mouth, turned around, and was about to leave.
"Hey wait a minute," Xiao Ning grabbed his shoulders and said anxiously.
"What's the matter again?" Xiao Se said impatiently.
"Hehe, now that you're back, we haven't fought each other for a year. I wanted to see how much you've improved outside." Xiao Ning laughed.
It was close to noon, and this was the only way to the Xiao family cafeteria. When the younger generation of the Xiao family heard that the two were going to compete, they all came over to watch.
Xiao Se pulled the corner of his mouth, looked around, and then asked hesitantly: "Is it okay here?"
Hearing Xiao Se's words, Xiao Ning showed a confident look, raised his thumb pointed at himself, and said with a smile: "What's there to be afraid of? Don't blame me for not telling you that not long ago, I broke through to the seventh stage of fighting spirit."
"Uh..." Hearing this, Xiao Se's face twitched. Xiao Ning was two years older than him and Xiao Yan. At the age of fifteen, he had already reached the seventh level of fighting spirit. He was indeed a genius in the Xiao family, but...
"Then let's get started." Xiao Se stood up straight, with his left hand behind his back, and beckoned towards Xiao Ning with his right hand.
