Ya Fei looked at Liu Xi, who had been caught off guard by her sneak attack.
A hint of shyness flashed quickly across her beautiful eyes.
However, on the surface, she still pretended to be a domineering older sister, as if she had Liu Xi under her control.
She teased Liu Xi on purpose.
This guy is absolutely despicable.
Every time he came, the first thing he would say was to call Master Gu Ni over.
What's so interesting about an old man?!
Isn't Ya Fei (a character from a popular Chinese novel) appealing?
Is it that her figure isn't attractive enough, or her face isn't delicate enough?
I always skip her.
This is intolerable!
Today she managed to turn the tables.
Aren't you full of (milk) brains?
I'll simmer it for you!
Liu Xi was also made to blush by Ya Fei.
Although he talked a good game, he wasn't exactly a seasoned player in love and still retained some naivety. When Ya Fei teased him, his heart still raced.
"Tell me, Young Master Liu, Master Liu, what kind of good business deal have you brought me this time?"
Ya Fei tried to calm her racing heart and sat down in front of Liu Xi, staring intently at him with her beautiful eyes.
I never expected this!
This young master Liu seems to still have some innocence.
Her actions caused his handsome face to flush slightly.
How interesting!
"Cough cough!"
Liu Xi couldn't let Ya Fei see her disheveled state.
He immediately sat up straight, coughed twice, and became very serious.
"This time, I brought several special pills that are not very common or universally applicable. For example, there's the Water-Guiding Pill, which is only suitable for water-attribute fighters; the Fire-Nourishing Pill, which is suitable for fire-attribute fighters; and the Withered Wood Pill, which can help conceal one's aura..."
"However, like the pills that were in high demand at the last auction, I also prepared a portion of each of them. In total, I brought about two hundred pills this time."
Liu Xi laid out his results of refining medicine over the past ten days one by one.
Then, let Yafei start inspecting the goods.
Ya Fei didn't stand on ceremony and opened them one by one, glancing at each one.
I don't know if she understood or not, but after reading it, she waved her hand and bought all the pills.
"Miss Yafei, don't you want Master Gu Ni to come and appraise it?"
Liu Xi couldn't help but remind her.
"What does that matter!?"
Consort Ya raised her head and said nonchalantly:
"Anyway, when we take the pills out later, we'll all say that they were personally refined by Master Liu Xi, Young Master Liu. They'll all buy it. If there's a problem with the pills, it'll damage your reputation as Young Master Liu Xi, not the reputation of our Mittel Auction House."
"Ah, this..."
Liu Xi was truly stunned by Ya Fei's bizarre theory.
"Could I... perhaps choose another auction house?"
Liu Xi asked tentatively, her face drooping.
No, you can't!
Ya Fei smiled slyly and packed all the pills away.
...
"Clan leader, elders, Master Liu Xi has come to pay a visit!"
As soon as Liu Xi arrived at the Xiao family's gate, the gatekeepers were overjoyed and welcomed her inside.
Liu Xi is now undoubtedly the most distinguished guest of the Xiao family!
Because of him, Young Master Xiao Yan was able to learn the art of alchemy.
Because of him, Young Master Xiao Yan was able to cultivate a low-level Xuan-rank technique.
Liu Xi is a great benefactor to the Xiao family.
"What? Master Liu Xi has arrived! Please, invite him in!"
Xiao Zhan was in the Xiao family hall, discussing with three Xiao family elders the cooperation matters that various families from Wutan City had come to discuss during this period.
Upon hearing that Liu Xi had arrived, they neglected to manage their family business.
"Please come in quickly, Master Liu Xi has finally arrived! Our Xiao family must treat him with the utmost hospitality!"
The three elders of the Xiao family were also beaming with joy, unable to contain their delight.
During this period, they also sent people to the Jialie family to invite Master Liu Xi over.
However, each time, the Jia Lie family refused, citing Master Liu Xi's seclusion to study alchemy.
After much anticipation, Master Liu Xi finally arrived.
"Haha, Master Liu Xi, you've finally arrived! Xiao Zhan, we've been waiting for you like the stars and the moon..."
Xiao Zhan laughed heartily and personally went to greet him from a distance.
"Clan Chief Xiao is too kind. I have not had time to announce my arrival and have come here abruptly. I hope Clan Chief Xiao will not take offense!"
Liu Xi bowed to Xiao Zhan from afar.
"Haha, Master Liu Xi, you are too kind. You have given my Xiao family and my son Xiao Yan a second life. How could we possibly be disrespectful to you, Master Liu Xi..."
"Master Liu, please come inside!"
Xiao Zhan warmly greeted Liu Xi.
Liu Xi nodded, looking calm, and walked into the Xiao family's main hall.
The three elders of the Xiao family had been waiting for a long time.
Upon seeing Liu Xi arrive, they hurriedly and warmly welcomed him.
Liu Xi was not intimidated at all; he completely captured the air of a refined young nobleman.
As they listened to his words and manner of speaking, the Xiao family members felt more and more that Liu Xi was extraordinary.
"Clan Chief Xiao, esteemed elders of the Xiao family, to be honest, Liu Xi has come here today to pay a visit to Miss Xiao Yu of your noble family. I wonder if Miss Xiao Yu is at home now?"
Seeing that the time was right, Liu Xi revealed the purpose of his trip.
"Xiao Yu!?"
The three elders and Xiao Zhan exchanged a glance.
They both saw surprise and a fleeting hint of delight in each other's eyes.
Could it be that Master Liu has taken a liking to Xiao Yu?
This is a good thing!
This is great news!
What does it mean to be a first-grade alchemist?
Needless to say, it's all very clear.
Moreover, Master Liu Xi is so young.
He possesses a vibrant and energetic temperament, and a fresh and handsome appearance.
They were practicing a profound-level cultivation technique.
It's more than enough to match Xiaoyu'er!
"Yes! Yes!"
"Master Liu, please wait a moment, we will go and inform Xiaoyu'er immediately!"
The eldest elder of the Xiao family, Xiao Yu's grandfather, was the first to react.
So excited, he immediately agreed on behalf of his own granddaughter.
Liu Xi is such an outstanding young man.
He's the perfect match for Xiaoyu'er!
If it really is Master Liu Xi who has taken a liking to Xiao Yu'er.
The Xiao family, and Elder Xiao, absolutely cannot afford to miss this opportunity.
Soon, Xiao Yu, who was in the arena instructing many young men and women of the Xiao family on how to cultivate their fighting skills, was brought over by members of the Xiao family.
She heard that it was Liu Xi who was looking for her.
Xiao Yu almost jumped up.
What's going on?
Why is Master Liu here?
He came specifically to see her.
Xiao Yu's emotions suddenly surged.
I was so nervous that I could barely walk.
Her fair and delicate face was also covered in a nervous sweat.
Master Liu Xi...
Could it be that she's actually fallen for me?!
So, should I refuse or accept?
Would it seem too casual to accept?
However, Master Liu Xi...
To be honest, it really is a heartbreaker!
That upright and proud figure, that refreshing and eye-catching temperament.
It's true, even Xiao Yu, a young girl who had witnessed many young geniuses at Canaan Academy, was captivated.
But she never thought about it that way.
It's not a question of whether they are worthy or not.
The key point is that the two of them have no connection!
