Thank you??? You crippled one of his hands and expect him to thank you?? Should he thank you for not crippling the other ooo?!"

  Ya Fei turo Xiao Yan, utterly astonished after seeing the pale-faced young man wailing in pain.

  Three years had passed, and this guy was still so ruthless. Even a beauty like Nan Yanran hadn't escaped misfortune back then.

  For a moment, the two guards didn't know what to do. Arrest Xiao Yan? That was clearly impossible; their strength was even inferior to that of the young man lying on the ground.

  "Let's go. This is just a small matter. I came to the au house this time to buy some things," Xiao Yan urged with a smile.

  "But..."

  "No buts. It's fine. I'm a major shareholder now." Xiao Yaly pushed Ya Fei's back with his right hand, leading her upstairs.

  It was only when Hai Bodong saw Xiao Yan pushing Ya Fei to leave that he withdrew the cold energy in his palm and followed them up the stairs.

  "You little bastard!! Even if Ya Fei is proteg you today, don't think you'll walk out of the au house in one piece! I swear I'll take your life!!"

  Xiao Yan shook his head helplessly as he heard this venomous roar. It seemed a life might indeed be lost today.

  Eventually, the three of them asded several floors and arrived at a luxurious VIP room on the sixth floor. The lower five floors were all au halls or ercial areas, while the sixth ah floors were reserved for members of the Miteer d housed the 's treasury.

  "Thank you, Xiao Yan. I know you intervened for my sake." Ya Fei walked around to sit behind the table, her red lips slightly pursed.

  Letting out a bitter ugh, she said, "That guy is named Lei Le, also a member of our Miteer . He has quite a strong bag, so I usually avoid offending him.

  "However, it seems that this guy is harb some disgusting thoughts about me. Ign him has only fueled his rese and anger, leading him to cause me trouble all day long. His grandfather holds some influen the 's Elder cil. Sihis whole thing started because of me, I'll take care of it." Ya Fei brushed aside the hair on her forehead and spoke somewhat wearily. It seemed that this young man named Lei Le had indeed caused her a great deal of trouble.

  "People like him 't be dealt with kindly. If he dares to e agaiime it won't be just one hand." Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes, a hint of fieress fshing within them.

  A gentle smile like spring water reappeared on Ya Fei's exquisite face. She gazed at Xiao Yan with endless charm, her voice soft, "Let's not talk about unpleasant things. What items do you need?"

  Xiao Yan quickly wrote down the medial ingredients for the Spiritual Recovery Purple Pill, hahe list to Ya Fei, and said, " you help me see if these ingredients be gathered?"

  "I k. You wouldn't e to a pce like the au house unless you needed something." Taking the paper, Ya Fei rolled her eyes at Xiao Yan in a flirtatious manner, making his heart beat a little faster.

  She then lowered her head and quickly sed the names of the ingredients. A look of astonishment fshed across her pretty face. As an outstanding au house manager, she naturally had abundant experience. She could tell at a ghe preciousness of these ingredients. The pill to be refined from them was not low.

  Looking up at Xiao Yan, she said, "These ingredients are not ordinary at all. Some of them I've only heard of by name."

  Xiao Yan spread his hands and said, "Otherwise, why would I e to the rgest au house in the Jia Ma Empire to look for them?"

  After p for a moment, Ya Fei shook her head regretfully and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, but I'm afraid even the rgest au house in the Jia Ma Empire would find it difficult to gather all of these at once. Some of these ingredients are too rare and could appear in a Xuan css au. The prices of the remaining ones are also extremely high. robably gather about two-thirds of them, but they won't be cheap."

  "No problem, two-thirds is good enough. For the rest, we'll try our luck at the Alchemist Association." Xiao Yan didn't mind. Besides, he hadn't reached the 5th-tier alchemist level yet.

  "But, Little Brother Xiao Yan, these ingredients together will cost over a million gold s. Do you have that much money?"

  Over a million gold s! Even the Xiao , which had uhe entire Wu Tan City, probably didn't earn that much profit in a year.

  Xiao Yan touched his nose and looked at Hai Bodong, "I don't actually have it, but..."

  Hai Bodong curled his lips. It was an unspoken rule in alchemy that the t provided the ingredients!

  "This should be enough." Hai Bodong directly tossed out a bck card. He didn't use his former influeo get things for free.

  After all, he had been missing for over twenty years.

  At the sight of the bck card with purple and gold patterns, a trace of surprise fshed in Ya Fei's beautiful eyes. This was a card that oe Dou Kings or above could possess!

  Ya Fei quickly posed herself and put on a polite smile, not even b to verify the card's authenticity. She respectfully said, "Please wait a moment, sir. The medial ingredients will be delivered shortly."

  She stamped the ingredient list with her personal seal and ha to the maid beside her, instrug her to gather as many as possible.

  Even Hai Bodong nodded in satisfa at Ya Fei's efficy.

  With the matter settled, Ya Fei and Xiao Yan engaged in casual versation. Every now and then, Xiao Yan's few bad jokes made her cover her mouth and giggle.

  "Miteer Ya Fei!! This matter isn't over between us!!" Just then, an angry shout suddeed from outside the door. An old man barged in, apanied by Lei Le, whose severed limb had been regeed using a precious pill, his eyes filled with rese.

  The old maire body exuded a strong aura. He was actually a Dou Spirit!

  When Xiao Yan saw Lei Le's venomous gaze, he khat this kid's good days had truly e to an end.

  "Elder Lei Ou, this is the VIP room. Please leave. If there's any issue, I will expin it clearly to the Head. If you offend our esteemed guests, you won't be able to bear the sequences," Ya Fei reprimanded in a ster hinting tone.

  Ever since seeing that bck card with purple and gold patterns, Ya Fei finally uood why Xiao Yan had such fidence. With ae Dou King, even if Lei Le was killed, the profit-oriented Miteer would only seek to please the old man and wouldn't pursue the matter further.

  How could Lei Ou, who was in a rage, uand Ya Fei's good iions? With an angry shout, he actually made a mht away.

  "You severed my grandson's arm! Today, I will make you pay it back with i!!" Lei Ou charged toward Xiao Yan. Dou Qi enveloped his hands as he unleashed a Dou Teique, intending to retaliate in kind.

  Xiao Yan sat calmly on the sofa and said bndly, "Old Hai, this be sidered your 's internal affair. How you ha is up to you."

  A whooshing sound rang out as Hai Bodong instantly densed several ieedles and pinned Lei Ou to the wall without the slightest hesitation, the cold energy instantly freezing his four limbs.

  After taking a sip of hot tea, he said lightly, "Tell that coward Miteer Tengshan to e see me. Just tell him that I, Hai Bodong, have returned."

  With her red lips slightly parted, Ya Fei stared dumbfou Hai Bodong sitting in the chair. Miteer Tengshan wasn't just a Dou King in the Jia Ma Empire's Ten Stro, but he was also the head of the Miteer !

  Truly a man of supreme authority!

  Yet, in the mouth of this old maually became a coward?!

  "As for how to deal with these two, let that coward Tengshan decide."

  Lei Le had long siurned pale with fear when he saw Lei Ou's limbs pio the wall. His entire body trembled as he colpsed to the ground. At this moment, he couldn't help but recall a sentence Xiao Yan had said not long ago:

  Thank me. I just saved your life.
