Today, when Xiao Feng was slacking off in the study, reading a manga from Black Bullet, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in!"
Xiao Feng replied and stood up from the recliner.
The person who came in was the guard of the Xiao family.
He was holding a thick red invitation in his hand. He handed it to Xiao Feng with both hands and said, "Young Master Xiao Feng, this was just sent over by someone from the Yaoyue Chamber of Commerce, and they asked us to deliver it to you."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work!"
Taking the thick red invitation, Xiao walked to the desk and sat down. He opened the invitation.
The words inside were all hot-stamped in gold, and the handwriting was beautiful and fresh.
According to the words, this should be an invitation to the Yaoyue Chamber of Commerce by Mittel Auction House.
The reason for delivering it to him by the guard was that the person in charge here heard he was their boss. So he was trying to curry favor by sending this invitation.
The name signed at the end made Xiao feel a little familiar.
"Ya Fei? This name..."
If he remembered correctly, Ya Fei was a genius in terms of business, and she also had a charming temperament.
Xiao Yan almost fell into her hands when he was young. If not Xun'er, he might have gone for her.
"If you calculate the time, it is indeed just right. Ya Fei should have come to Wutan City. Maybe, we can use her for the Femghua Chamber of Commerce."
Xiao Feng calculated in his mind.
"This invitation is to invite me to attend the auction in half a month, and also specifically invite me to have a private chat after the auction. This is not easy!"
Xiao Feng did not think Ya Fei would invite him for a private chat without reason. She must have something in mind.
...
"Zheng!"
The long sword swept across, and an almost material sword shadow appeared, cutting a deep groove on the bluestone.
Nalan Yanran put away her sword and stood still, slowly suppressing the rising fighting spirit.
"The young sect master is truly extremely talented! You have already reached high-level fighter." The elders watching on the sidelines praised.
"Humph... It's just a dispute of pride."
Yun Leng snorted, his displeasure visibly evident: "What's the point of praising me for something like this? If she had used the Qi Gathering Powder back then, she would have been promoted a year ago. Maybe she would have become a fighting master by now."
"Elder Yun Leng is wrong. How abundant are the resources of our Yunlan Sect? If this period of time is extended to five or ten years, they will be wiped out directly, right?"
"Yes, yes! It's a good thing that the young master is willing to challenge. It's not a good thing for a cultivator to have no drive and only think about borrowing external forces."
"Hey! You guys are short-sighted!"
Yun Leng flicked his sleeves and turned away, leaving the elders whispering to each other.
Is there anyone in this world who would complain about advancing too quickly?
Nalan Yanran must be hiding something if she does this.
...
"Knock knock——"
There was a series of knocks on the door.
Yun Yun, who was practicing cross-legged in the room, paused for a moment. After scanning with her soul, she continued to circulate her fighting spirit, but she partly paid attention to the outside world.
"Yanran? Come in."
The door opened, and Nalan Yanran walked into the room.
Now she had already lost much of the immaturity she once possessed. Her long hair fell behind her shoulders, while her beautiful face carried the confidence and pride of the Yunlan Sect's Young Sect Master.
Instead of wearing her usual sect robes, she wore one of the newest outfits from the Fenghua Chamber of Commerce.
A fitted white blouse covered her upper body, with a narrow black ribbon tied beneath the collar. The blouse was tucked into a short dark skirt that hugged her slender waist before falling to the middle of her thighs. A pair of smooth black pantyhose covered her long legs, making them appear even more slender beneath the skirt.
She had also worn a pair of short black boots and a light coat over her shoulders, giving her an elegant yet alluring appearance.
"Master…"
Nalan Yanran saw a pile of papers on the table: "Are these things still there?"
She saw a lot of them last month, and this time there are not only the same number of them, but even more.
I don't know how long the backlog has been going on.
"You've come just in time. Take these to the elders before you leave."
Yun Yun: "I'm afraid I can't spare so much energy to deal with these things."
Not too surprising.
Nalan Yanran picked out a pile and flipped through them. They were all documents related to the resources and positions within the sect. "Master, these have been approved by the elders. We are just waiting for your final decision."
It's clearly written in there, and all it needs is a bunch of solutions laid out horizontally and vertically for you.
At most, just answer a multiple-choice question.
"Ah?"
Yun Yun stopped and stretched out her hand. The documents flew halfway, but she hesitated. After thinking it over again and again, she pushed them back.
"That's it. Since the elders have made a plan, let's follow it."
"Can..."
Nalan Yanran opened her mouth, and subconsciously put aside her own affairs: "But Master, you are the Sect Master! The documents sent here must be stamped by the Sect Master before anyone dares to do it."
"Then you stamp it."
Yun Yun directly stunned the young Nalan Yanran.
"This is inappropriate..." Nalan Yanran's hands trembled and she threw the document back on the table.
Perhaps because of what she was exposed to in her childhood, she is quite sensitive to these matters of power and knows the limits.
No matter how much Yun Yun protected her, she was just an outsider disciple. As long as she didn't receive the position, she would not be able to be stable.
Young master?
It's really small, but it's hard to say about the sect leader.
"I think it's very suitable!"
Yun Yun acted quite indifferent: "After all, you are the Young Master of Yunlan Sect. What's inappropriate about acting on behalf of the Master?"
"This is..."
Open it, Peng!
Open it, Peng!
Open it, Peng!
