Chapter 204: Now That Both Father and Son Are Here, Let's Get Going!
A calm, low voice, filled with matter-of-factness and unquestionableness, echoed through the silent hall.
Everyone felt a sudden shudder, as if an electric current had passed through their bodies, their blood boiling.
"A true man should be like this!"
Xiao Yan clenched his fists, his breathing rapid, his heart agitated. This was the feeling.
From childhood to adulthood, he had always admired this energy in Brother Bai. He was usually calm and composed, but when faced with a challenge, his sharp edge was revealed, his calm and domineering words and actions were truly captivating.
"Haha. This is the confidence of a strong man, Xiao Yanzi, keep going!"
Seeing Xiao Yan's face flush, his expression like a little fan, Yao Lao couldn't help but smile and chuckle, saying, "Master believes that one day, you will be like this too. There's no need to envy others!"
Elsewhere, Ya Fei's breath hitched, her watery peach blossom eyes fixed on those deep black eyes, her delicate body slightly weakened.
At this moment, Xiao Bai towered over her, and she couldn't help but feel a surge of jealousy towards the little girl beside him.
In her twenty-plus years of life, she'd been surrounded by people with vested interests, never before having experienced such a feeling of being cared for.
No one had ever said to her, "Call me if you can't beat them!", even if they knew the opponent was a Dou Ling or Dou Huang!
Just like the guy lying on the ground over there, who had always harbored some disgusting thoughts towards her, she could only endure the humiliation and deal with him instead of outright killing him.
Simply because his grandfather was a member of the family elders, a Dou Ling powerhouse, holding real power within the family, and she had no way to deal with him!
As if possessed by some mysterious force, Ya Fei felt an impulse well up within her. Unable to resist, she stepped forward, reaching out her delicate hands to help Xiao Bai straighten his shirt. Then, softly, she said, "Do whatever you want, but be quick and leave as soon as you're done. A long-absent Dou Huang Grand Elder has returned from our clan. If things get serious, even your strength alone won't be enough to defeat four!"
She knew Xiao Bai was strong, judging by his performance, but she couldn't tell exactly how strong he was.
Judging from his age, no matter how strong he was, he couldn't possibly be as strong as he claimed, a match for a Dou Huang master!
Xiao Bai was startled, not expecting the woman to act so suddenly. A soft touch flickered in his eyes, and he whispered, "Aren't you afraid I'll get you into trouble by doing this?"
If he truly killed the man and left, and this woman acted so publicly, her life would be a struggle.
"Scared!"
Ya Fei nodded gently, then a bright smile suddenly broke out on her pretty face towards Xiao Bai. She shrugged her shoulders casually and said, "I've spent my whole life calculating and calculating, rarely doing something impulsive like this! So..."
"Hurry up! Watch out, I'll regret it in a moment and sell you out!"
"Haha. If you want to sell me," Xiao Bai patted Ya Fei's delicate shoulders and said with a smile, "Remember to sell me for a good price. Otherwise, if the price is too low, I'll hold you accountable!"
With that, Xiao Bai strode towards the reclining figure in the center of the hall.
Behind him, Ya Fei froze for a moment, gazing at the black-robed figure. Her red lips gradually curved, and her eyes, like spring water, shimmered with an intoxicating smile.
"Ahem. Are you going to kill me?"
On the ground, a young man, face as pale as paper, blood stained the corners of his mouth. His eyes glared fiercely at the approaching black-robed youth, his face devoid of fear. He sneered, "Haha. Do you know where this is? This is the Holy City of Gama, the headquarters of the Mitel Family. Kill me, and you'll die too!"
If Xiao Bai didn't know Ya Fei, he'd be genuinely terrified by the little girl's punch. But since he knew that woman, Ya Fei, it meant he was from the Gama Empire.
He had no fear for anyone from the Gama Empire. With the power of the Mitel Auction House within the Gama Empire, as long as it didn't offend the royal family or the Yunlan Sect, this little matter wouldn't be worth mentioning.
"That's it!" Xiao Bai glanced at him coldly and said in a low voice, "Are these your last words?"
"Last words? Do you dare to kill me? Haha." The pale-faced young man didn't move when he saw Xiao Bai approaching. His mouth widened, his eyes filled with disdain. He lay on the ground and laughed loudly: "Ya Fei, is this the person you like? Such a coward, can I satisfy you? Do you want it?"
"Crack!"
"Ah!"
A crisp sound of bones cracking rang out, and then the shouting young man's face instantly turned pale, then ashen.
His body twitched violently several times, and his words were interrupted, and he let out a scream like a pig being slaughtered.
"Your mouth stinks!"
Xiao Bai slowly retracted his foot, and with a flick of his hand, a chair flew through the air and landed behind him.
He flung his robe aside, sat down, glanced at the screaming young man, and sneered, "I'm waiting for your grandfather to come and take you on your journey. A family should be together. Otherwise, making another trip just for a Dou Ling ant is a hassle!"
"You..."
The pale young man heard this, ignoring the pain in his leg. With a look of shock, he raised his finger in disbelief and pointed at the black-robed young man.
"Don't you want your hand anymore?" Seeing the finger pointing at him, Xiao Bai's eyes flashed with coldness. With a slight movement of his finger, a flash of light flashed, and a stream of blood gushed out.
"Ah! My hand is gone!"
Another wail echoed through the hall. The young man looked at his bare wrist, blood pouring out. He caught a glimpse of the familiar severed hand lying on the ground nearby, and fear filled his eyes.
"Don't be afraid, don't you still have one?" Xiao Bai said softly, sitting on a chair.
The people in the hall, hearing this voice, felt no warmth at all. Instead, they trembled and turned pale.
He swallowed carefully, afraid of making a sound that would draw the gaze of the black-robed young man in the chair.
"My goodness."
Xiao Yan, not far away, also swallowed, his eyes filled with shock. He murmured in astonishment, "Is this still our Brother Bai?"
In the past, when he had seen Xiao Bai's attacks, they were always clean and efficient, killing with a single blow. This was nothing like the demonic style of his past life.
"Tsk tsk. Little Yanzi, it seems your Brother Bai really went easy on you!"
Watching this scene, Yao Lao couldn't help but laugh, remembering Xiao Yan's previous attempts at provocation.
"Teacher, don't joke like that!" Xiao Yan's face was solemn and righteous, and he spoke in a resounding voice, "I never provoked Brother Bai. I only asked him for a sparring match... no... guidance, yes, guidance!"
At the end, Xiao Yan pretended to be thoughtful, nodding solemnly in confirmation.
"..." Yao Lao.
Looking at his apprentice, who was so eager to survive, Yao Lao suddenly felt an itch to strike!
The sound of footsteps echoed, and a fragrant breeze filled his nose. Xiao Bai tilted his head slightly, glancing at the enchanting figure beside him. She bit her red lips, her charming peach blossom eyes staring at him speechlessly.
"Why do you really want me to leave?" Xiao Bai looked at her quietly for a moment, and said with a smile: "I don't have the habit of throwing troubles to others!"
"Alas, Mr. Xiao is very powerful, and Ya Fei has little influence!"
Ya Fei sighed and said softly: "Since Mr. Xiao has already made a plan, Ya Fei will naturally not overestimate her own abilities and do things that are beyond her authority!"
".!" Xiao Bai.
What a rage!
A good woman, now a hermaphrodite!
Yafei's eyes shifted slightly, looking at the young man lying on the ground with a blank look in his eyes. A hint of pleasure crossed her pretty face.
"Did he provoke you?" Xiao Bai asked calmly, noticing her expression.
"Yeah!" Yafei nodded slightly, her tone indifferent. "His name is Leile, and he's also a member of the Mittel family. He has a strong backing. It doesn't matter to me!"
"But this guy is lustful as hell, and he has some disgusting thoughts about me. When he sees me being displeased, he often messes with me and says nonsense!"
"I've tolerated him for a long time. Seeing him suffer such a fate today, I'm certainly happy!"
Yafei lowered her head and glanced at Xiao Bai in the chair beside her. She blinked and smiled. "Do you think I'm narrow-minded?"
Xiao Bai's eyes subconsciously flickered to a certain spot standing proudly, then quickly averted their gaze and shook his head.
This is not narrow at all!
"Pah!" Yafei's pretty face flushed, and she spat inwardly at the expressionless figure.
Though the man had merely glanced past her, a woman, a beautiful one at that, was most sensitive to this, so how could she not have noticed his unusual behavior?
Feeling a touch of shyness, Yafei hesitated to continue speaking. She stood by her chair, remaining silent, her charming eyes occasionally lingering on Xiao Bai, who seemed to be resting.
As the two men fell silent, the atmosphere in the hall gradually grew gloomy, like the prelude to a violent storm.
Sensing this atmosphere, Yafei felt quite uncomfortable, her brows furrowed slightly, a hint of worry flickering in her clear eyes.
As time passed, Xiao Bai's half-lidded eyes finally opened slightly, glancing towards a side door in the auction hall.
"Who is it? How dare you hurt my grandson!"
The voice arrived before the person even arrived!
A loud, elderly voice, brimming with cold murderous intent, suddenly echoed through the silent hall.
Upon hearing this voice, Ya Fei's pretty face changed. Her hands, resting on her abdomen, suddenly clenched. She tilted her head slightly, her gaze cold as she looked in the direction of the voice.
"Bang!"
The side door of the hall was suddenly kicked open, and a group of people poured in. The leader was an elderly man in ornate clothes with a slightly sinister expression.
"Elder Leo, although you are a family elder, you have no right to interfere with the auction house. What are you doing by kicking open the door of my auction house like this? Are you rebelling?"
Ya Fei looked at the bright footprints on the side door, her brow darkening, and she said coldly.
Upon hearing this, the old man named Leo's face darkened. He couldn't bear the accusation of rebellion. His cloudy eyes flickered as he chuckled coldly, "Haha, Yafei, you hold such high authority! Do you still consider yourself a true elder? You're just an acting supervisory elder. Wait until you drop that 'acting' and hold real power before you start talking to me like that!"
"But after today, I'm afraid you won't have that chance, grandson."
The old man was sneering at Yafei when his gaze suddenly paused, a flicker of disbelief in his eyes. He abruptly cut off his words and, with a few strides, reached the young man lying on the ground. A mournful howl suddenly rang out.
"My grandson."
His skinny hands trembled. After Lei Le had examined him, his body trembling. His once lively grandson now had a dull look in his eyes, showing no reaction to his presence.
Seeing this, a powerful aura suddenly emanated from him.
"Who did...?"
A cold, angry voice uttered each word, his gaze scanning the surroundings, gradually settling on Yafei.
Her delicate body trembled slightly, the pressure of this aura overwhelming her, yet she gritted her teeth and held on, refusing to accede to the old man's wishes.
"Tsk tsk. Such an obvious question? Do you even need to ask?" Xiao Bai waved his hand, and Yafei suddenly felt a sense of relief, no longer feeling any pressure.
"It's you! You little bastard, you have such a vicious heart!"
Leo's beard and hair were standing up in anger, his eyes dark as he stared intently at Xiao Bai. Then, at Yafei beside him, he spoke bitterly, "And you, little bitch, you actually colluded with outsiders to treat my grandson like this at the auction. I want you dead!"
"Haha. Lei Le molested other women at the auction, and you deserve this!"
Yafei sneered. Since she had already offended him, she didn't bother playing it safe like before. She might as well be more direct.
"Nonsense! My grandson is innocent, how could he tease anyone!" Leo roared.
"Haha. Your grandson is innocent? Old man, I think you've lost all your dignity for your precious grandson!" Yafei sneered, her face thick with disdain.
She wasn't afraid of Leo killing her; it turned out she was wary only because of her status in the family. Now someone was threatening to kill her. If she didn't react, how would she survive in the family?
Xiao Bai averted his gaze from a certain direction and waved his hand, stopping Yafei from lashing out again. He slowly said, "Since we're both here, let's get going!"
He slowly extended a hand, a flash of lightning gleaming on it. With a casual wave, a massive palm print suddenly appeared, slamming down towards Leo and Lei Le not far away.
"Fighting King!"
Feeling the immense energy emanating from the palm print, the anger on Leo's face instantly vanished, his pupils dilating in a look of terror.
He wanted to pick up his grandson and run away, but he was intimidated by an inexplicable aura and couldn't move an inch.
When Ya Fei heard the old man's exclamation, her beautiful eyes widened, and she covered her tempting red lips. She suddenly turned her head and looked at the calm young man in black robe beside her.
If I remember correctly, he... he is not yet twenty years old? He has reached this level of cultivation before the age of twenty. What a monster!
Compared to him, the proud daughter of the Nalan family, the young master of the Yunlan Sect, is not worth mentioning at all.
The eldest elder of the family has only this level of cultivation, but he is already so old. Judging from the time he has practiced, he is probably three or four times as long as this guy!
According to her previous guess, he was at most a Dou Ling. This was just her previous understanding, and she had just heard that he was not afraid of Dou Ling and had a bold delusion.
Unexpectedly, he is a Dou Wang! Such a young Dou Wang!
No wonder he had been so confident and dismissive of Dou Ling. While she was amazed, she also felt a hint of anger. She rolled her eyes at him coquettishly.
This guy was hiding too deeply. She had been so worried before, afraid that he would suffer a loss, but she didn't expect it to be in vain!
"That's right!"
Xiao Yan slapped his thigh, excitedly standing up, and said with a smile, "Brother Bai, he's finally using a thunder-attributed fighting skill. He's got a good thunder-attribute, but he's been playing with fire all day!"
"...!" Yao Lao exclaimed.
Had this disciple been provoked by that kid Xiao Bai? His mind was starting to unravel with this sudden shock!
Everyone in the hall stared at the scene in astonishment, wondering for a moment if the black-robed youth was a youthful-looking old demon or truly that young.
If he was truly that young, the entire Jia Ma Empire would be in turmoil for a while.
As everyone marveled at him, an old voice echoed across the auction hall: "I don't know how my Miteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeer Family has offended you, but please, please restrain your wrath and sit down to discuss this!"
"If it's truly our family's fault, I will give you a satisfactory explanation. Is that right?"
