"In that case, I, Xiao Yan, will accept Mr. Tengshan's request."
Xiao Yan?
The name sounded somewhat familiar to Mittel Tengshan. He hadn't asked the other person's name before because he hadn't figured out what the other person was thinking.
The deal has now been completed, and before I could even ask, the other party had already given their name.
"So it's Mr. Xiao Yan. That name sounds familiar. It seems that the name is the same as that of Nalan Yanran, the eldest daughter of the Nalan family, and her genius fiancé."
Moreover, according to rumors, Xiao Yan should already be seventeen or eighteen years old.
However, Mittel Tengshan simply couldn't believe that a seventeen or eighteen-year-old with the combat power of a Dou Huang was actually a powerful warrior.
Therefore, even though the person in front of him almost perfectly matches the genius boy from Utan City, Mittel Tengshan will not take the initiative to merge the two together unless he admits it himself.
Xiao Yan didn't say much about it. His current strength wasn't due to the Nalan family or the Yunlan Sect, so there was no need for him to use such things to embellish his reputation.
"Since you have accepted Mr. Fujiyama's gift, I will definitely take care of things for you, and I will give you a reply within a year."
Furthermore, Mr. Fujiyama dismissed an elder this time; the handover of related affairs must be quite troublesome.
A glint of light flashed in Mittel Tengshan's eyes. He knew all too well that Xiao Yan wanted to recommend someone, but if someone in his Mittel family was close to the other party, it might not be a bad thing.
"May I ask, Mr. Xiao Yan, do you have a suitable person to recommend?"
Xiao Yan smiled and said, "I wouldn't recommend her, but Miss Ya Fei and I have a very close relationship, and I'm sure she's capable enough to take on the position of elder."
If Mr. Fujiyama is truly short-handed, then I think the title "Acting" for the Acting Inspector can be dropped.
Of course, these are all internal matters of your Mittel family, and I'm just mentioning them casually.
Mittel Tengshan understood the meaning behind Xiao Yan's words and couldn't help but smile with relief. This little girl did indeed have some extraordinary qualities in certain areas, and he had underestimated her before.
"That little girl, Ya Fei, is indeed quite capable, but she is still inexperienced, which is why she is temporarily serving as the supervisory elder. Since Mr. Xiao Yan has recommended her, let's do as Mr. Xiao Yan says."
In this way, everything was settled. Although the Mittel family lost a steward, they gained the favor of a Dou Huang-level expert, which was definitely a profitable deal for the Mittel family.
Finally, by using a useless pill to persuade the other party to take action, he made another profit.
If we can help them find Hai Bodong's whereabouts, then it will be worth any price to pay.
After all—the Mittel family's own Battle Emperor is more reliable than those of other forces, no matter what.
Before leaving the sixth floor of the Mittel Auction House, Mittel Tengshan insisted on giving himself a platinum card, which was the highest-level gold coin card in the Mittel family, capable of holding up to fifty million gold coins.
Of course, there wasn't fifty million in this card, but it did contain ten million, which basically made up for some of the cost Xiao Yan spent on buying Earth-rank Dou Techniques.
This trip to the Mittel Auction House was incredibly fruitful, yielding news of the Great Flame Sky-Shattering Fist, the Emperor-Breaking Pill, the Underwater City, and this prototype pill that was just one step away from completion.
When she returned to the first floor, Ya Fei was chatting with a young girl.
The girl's expression was indifferent, and she only answered Ya Fei's questions in passing.
The girl had a very aloof demeanor and was very beautiful. However, she was quite famous in the capital, so many playboys dared not approach her rashly, lest they end up losing more than they gained.
"Ya Fei, Yan Ran, you're both here."
Xiao Yan had also mentioned that he planned to ask Ya Fei to help him find Nalan Yanran before he left, but unexpectedly, she came back on her own.
"Brother Xiao Yan, you've finally arrived! Sister Nalan came in and asked everyone where you were, but I couldn't explain it to her clearly. If you had come any later, she would have lost her patience."
Upon seeing Xiao Yan arrive, Ya Fei finally looked relieved.
However, after only a few years, Nalan Yanran has changed quite a bit. Now, both her demeanor and tone have become very cold, giving people a feeling of keeping people at arm's length.
"It's alright, leave the rest to me. She and I need to go back to the Nalan family home. Could you give me a map of the capital?"
Nalan Yanran herself couldn't remember how to get to the Nalan family. Even if Xiao Yan told her this, probably no one would believe it. But her current condition is really too bad, and her memory is frighteningly poor. It's best not to make this public.
"Going to the Nalan family? Could it be that Xiao Yan is going to propose marriage this time? Come to think of it, you and Nalan have been engaged since childhood, and you're almost eighteen now. It's not too early for you to get married."
Ya Fei revealed a meaningful smile, but Xiao Yan rolled his eyes at her.
"Sister Yafei, don't overthink it. It's just that Yanran's grandfather has contracted a strange illness, and I happen to be an alchemist, so I thought I might as well go and see if I could help."
Ya Fei wasn't surprised by Xiao Yan's identity as an alchemist. After all, Gu Ni, who had been with her, had said that Xiao Yan seemed to have the talent to be an alchemist, and it was only a matter of time before he embarked on this path.
"Alright, I'll have you bring a copy over right away. However, there are many private territories in the capital, and even my Mittel family can't investigate them thoroughly. So, I'll have to ask Brother Xiao Yan to make do with this."
"It's alright, I just need to know the general location."
The Mittel Auction House was very efficient; in no time, someone brought a detailed map of the capital.
This map is so detailed that it marks streets and shops of all sizes, as well as the residences and territories of various families. However, the royal palace of the Gama royal family is not described in much detail, since it is an absolutely forbidden area.
"Okay, thank you very much. Oh, and congratulations to Sister Yafei as well."
Xiao Yan accepted the map, quite satisfied with it, and congratulated Ya Fei before leaving.
Ya Fei, on the other hand, looked completely taken aback: "Huh? Congratulations on what?"
Of course, congratulations to Sister Yafei on her promotion to a formal Inspector. Then, Yanran and I will take our leave.
Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran left the Mittel Auction House one after the other, leaving Ya Fei standing there in a daze, digesting what Xiao Yan had just said.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the capital, the Nalan family was already in a state of extreme anxiety.
"Where's Miss? Why hasn't she returned yet!"
Elder Ge Ye, who accompanied her, had already returned to Yunlan Sect to report back. On the other hand, Nalan Yanran had returned to the capital several hours earlier, but had not yet returned.
"Don't worry, Uncle Nalan. This is the capital of the Jia Ma Empire. With Junior Sister Yanran's status, no one would dare to touch her."
A young man dressed in a moon-white robe smiled slightly, comforting the somewhat impatient Nalan Su.
His name is Liu Ling, and he is the personal disciple of Dan Wang Gu He. If he were only in his twenties, he would already be a second-grade alchemist.
The main reason for coming to the Nalan family this time is to deliver medicine to suppress the poison for Nalan Jie, and also to visit Nalan Yanran.
As Gu He's most prized disciple, Liu Ling always believed that only someone like herself was worthy of Nalan Yanran, and that so-called genius from Wutan City was not worth mentioning at all.
He believed that one day he could show the Nalan family that choosing him was the wisest decision.
Just then, a servant outside the door brought news: "Master, Miss has returned, along with an unfamiliar young man in black robes."
Upon hearing the words "black-robed youth," Liu Ling's brows furrowed involuntarily.
