Chapter 159 Cooperation
"Please speak clearly, Miss Yafei!" Xiao Zhan frowned.

"I help the Xiao family naturally because I value their potential. The Xiao family has been developing rapidly recently. I think the blood coagulation powder sold by Patriarch Xiao should have made the Xiao family gain a lot of benefits." Ya Fei said with a faint smile.

"Haha, the blood coagulation powder has indeed made the Xiao family gain a lot of benefits, but these benefits are really insignificant compared to the annual profits of the Mitre Auction House." Xiao Zhan said with a smile.

"The blood coagulation powder sold by the Xiao family should not have been blown by the wind, right?" Ya Fei chuckled.

"This... Miss Yafei, please speak frankly about what you want to say!" Xiao Zhan frowned slightly and spoke out.

"A year ago, a mysterious man in black purchased a large amount of healing herbs from our Mitel family, as well as the medicine cauldrons needed for refining medicine. I think the purpose of his buying so many herbs is to help the Xiao family refine the blood clotting powder! And this old gentleman is the maker of the foundation-building spiritual liquid. The reason why the younger generation of the Xiao family has such good test results is probably because the old gentleman helped the Xiao family refine the foundation-building spiritual liquid!" Ya Fei said with a smile.

Gently picking up the tea on the table and taking a sip, Ya Fei continued, "This old gentleman also bought some medicinal materials for refining Qi Gathering Powder at the auction house. To be able to refine Qi Gathering Powder, he must be at least a fourth-grade alchemist! It's not that Ya Fei doesn't want to help the Jia Lie family and the Oba family deal with the Xiao family, but because even with the help of the Mitel Auction House, they can't deal with it. Ya Fei will not do such a thankless task."

"Ms. Yafei, you're joking. The Xiao family is not as powerful as you think." Xiao Zhan breathed a sigh of relief at this time.

"Ya Fei is very clear about what an alchemist who may surpass the fourth rank means, so continuing to cooperate with the Xiao family will bring far more benefits than dealing with the Xiao family! What's more, Ya Fei has no intention of taking action against the Xiao family." Ya Fei sighed helplessly and said.

"Why didn't Miss Yafei tell your chief elder about the news that the Xiao family had an alchemist?" Although Yafei's explanation was very clear, Xiao Zhan still had doubts in his heart.

"Haha, Patriarch Xiao is really cautious! There are two reasons why I didn't report to the family. First, if the family knew that the Xiao family had the help of an alchemist behind the scenes, they would definitely tell the Nalan family. If the Nalan family is determined to deal with the Xiao family, they will send a more powerful alchemist, which will obviously be disadvantageous to the Xiao family. Second, it is Yafei's selfishness. It will also be good for Yafei to get a partner with huge potential." Yafei said with a smile.

"We have seen everything Miss Yafei has done for the Xiao family. If there is anything we can do to help Miss Yafei in the future, we will never refuse." Xiao Zhan stood up and said.

"Haha, with what Patriarch Xiao said, my trip today was not in vain. Yafei will take her leave now. Patriarch Xiao, please make preparations. If there is any need for Yafei, just send someone to notify her. Yafei will definitely help." Yafei smiled faintly and was about to turn around and leave.

"Yan'er, please help me see Miss Yafei off!" Xiao Zhan said unhappily to Xiao Yan, who was dozing off the whole time.

"Oh! Okay! Please come in, Miss Yafei!" Xiao Yan stood up and made a gesture of invitation to Yafei.

"Thank you!" Ya Fei thanked Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan and Ya Fei walked out of the family hall together. Xiao Yan was smiling the whole time, but Ya Fei was a little restrained, and no one knew what she was thinking.

Walking on the bluestone path, the atmosphere was a little depressing.

As the boss of Miter Auction House, Ya Fei should not be speechless around Xiao Yan. But today, for some reason, no matter what she wanted to say, she swallowed it back.

The only sound in the entire courtyard was the footsteps of the two people, which seemed particularly clear.

"Am I beautiful?" Yafei said suddenly.

"Ah? Oh! You are very beautiful!" Xiao Yan was stunned at first when he heard what Ya Fei said, then he said with a smile.

"Oh? How does it compare to Miss Xun'er?" Ya Fei slowed down her pace and asked softly.

"Well, you are slightly inferior to Xun'er! But the gap is not big!" Xiao Yan also slowed down and said with a faint smile.

"How do I compare to the Little Medical Fairy next to you?" Ya Fei smiled and asked again. "Well, you two look similar, but Little Medical Fairy looks more lively and cute, and she is the delicate type. And you are the charming type." Xiao Yan scratched his head and said.

"Doesn't Young Master Xiao Yan like my charming type?" Ya Fei stared at Xiao Yan with her big eyes, making Xiao Yan feel uneasy.

"Ahem! Miss Yafei is so beautiful, which man in Wutan City doesn't like her? I like her very much too." Xiao Yan touched his nose and said awkwardly.

"Haha, Young Master Xiao Yan, please don't lie to Yafei. People's eyes will not lie. In your eyes, I don't see that you have any idea of ​​taking me for yourself, and you even feel a little disgusted with me. Can you tell me the reason?" Yafei said with a faint smile.

"What's wrong with this woman? Why is she so weird today?" Xiao Yan thought to himself.

"Are you attracted to me? Am I right in understanding this?" Xiao Yan said jokingly with a smile on his face.

"Young Master Xiao Yan, you have an amazing talent for cultivation and you have an alchemist as your master. You are truly a rare young talent. Isn't it normal for Ya Fei to fall in love with you?" Ya Fei said in a tender voice with a charming smile.

"That's enough! That's enough! You make me feel cold all over." Xiao Yan really couldn't stand a mature woman like Ya Fei who kept flirting with him.

Don’t say that Xiao Yan couldn’t stand it, any normal man couldn’t stand it!
"Then can Young Master Xiao Yan tell us now?" Ya Fei said with a smile.

"You are so beautiful, it is impossible for me not to be moved, but this kind of movement is just desire. It's just because you are beautiful that I have a desire to conquer you. You have good talents and manage the Mitre Auction House in an orderly manner. But your strength is too low, and you can't walk on the same path with me. I don't want the person I like to die of old age in front of me one day." Xiao Yan said lightly.

"And most of the achievements you have made were gained by leveraging your beauty. Am I right?" Xiao Yan smiled faintly and looked at Ya Fei.

"This must be the reason why you dislike me, right?" Ya Fei's expression was no longer as smiling as before, but rather a little sad.

"That's probably part of the reason!" Xiao Yan said calmly.

“I don’t want to make money by relying on my body, but my aptitude for cultivation is too poor. Even if I work harder, the achievements I make will not be very high.” Ya Fei said with a wry smile.

"That's true! I can neither say that I like you nor that I hate you. I just think it's not easy for a woman like you to fight alone out there, so I still admire you very much." Xiao Yan nodded and said.

"We're at the gate! Young Master Xiao Yan, please send me here!" Ya Fei smiled and said softly.

"Then I'm sorry I can't see you off!" Xiao Yan said with a smile.

"Another woman who wants to resist fate." Xiao Yan looked at Ya Fei's back and said in his heart.

Xiao Yan still admired women who dared to resist their own destiny, whether it was Nalan Yanran who came to cancel the engagement before or Ya Fei now.

Their fate has been determined since they were born, and they all live for the benefit of their family.

Xiao Yan shook his head, turned around and left, returning to the hall to discuss how to destroy the Jialie Family and the Oba Family.

"I'm really beginning to like you now!" After Xiao Yan left, Ya Fei turned around and looked towards the gate of the Xiao family with a smile on her lips.
