Fighting Break Sphere: My Days as a Tutor at Canaan College

Chapter 106 Xiao Yan's Commission

After collecting the results of his hard work for half a day and putting the medicine cauldron in front of him back into his storage ring, Liu Xi stood up and straightened his wrinkled clothes.

"call……"

It was finally over. He let out a long sigh and pushed open the door of the house, but he felt that the air outside was... sweet.

"Hmm? Brother Xiao Yan?"

As soon as he walked into the open-air courtyard, he saw Xiao Yan sitting at the stone table waiting for him. He was a little surprised by his arrival. After all, they had just met yesterday afternoon.

Could it be that he had something to do the next day and needed help?

"Brother Liu, you're finally done..." Seeing him come out, Xiao Yan greeted him with a smile. At the same time, he glanced at Xiao Yue who was standing beside him and gave him a wink.

Liu Xi immediately understood and thought that he really had something to discuss with him.

Just then he called Xiao Yue over, handed her the prepared pill, and asked her to run errands.

After sending Xiao Yue away, he and Xiao Yan were the only ones left in the courtyard.

"Brother Xiao Yan, do you have something to ask me?"

Liu Xi asked bluntly.

"Haha, Brother Liu is so direct. He didn't even wait for me to say a few words." Xiao Yan said with a smile.

Hearing this, Liu Xi's eyes twitched slightly.

Greetings to your sister?
We just met yesterday, and I completed a... transaction with the Yao Lao behind you.

Fortunately, Xiao Yan did not use his sense of humor again. He then took out a list of various medicinal herbs and a small and exquisite jade box from his storage ring.

Liu Xi took the two items handed to him by the other party without saying anything, but waited for the other party to continue.

"Brother Liu, this jade box contains a Qi Gathering Powder. Last time, when our Xiao family was competing with the Jialie family, I promised to give Yafei of the Mitel Auction House three Qi Gathering Powders in exchange for her support for the Xiao family. This is the last one I will give to the Mitel Auction House.

But this time I plan to entrust you to make the trip for me, because in the previous few times, I had too frequent contact with people from the Miter Auction House, and my identity has been discovered by Yafei. Although she kept her mouth shut afterwards, since she could find out, there is no guarantee that I can continue to go to the auction house to trade without my identity being exposed to other people.

By then, my teacher’s situation will most likely be known to others. You know, my teacher is more averse to others knowing his ‘special’ existence…”

Partly out of a desire to establish a foundation of trust between the two parties, Xiao Yan took some time to explain to Liu Xi the twists and turns behind this commission.

In his opinion, Liu Xi already knew about Yao Lao's special existence, but he just didn't know his specific identity. It didn't matter if he explained some things in detail.

After all, apart from this, the two of them also share a common "biggest secret".

But then again, Yao Lao himself still doesn't know his identity to this day. Every time he asks about it, Yao Lao always avoids the question and doesn't tell him.

On the other side, after Xiao Yan finished speaking, Liu Xi raised his hand and touched his chin, with a strange expression, and said:

"Brother Xiao Yan, to be honest, it's best to find someone else to handle this commission, because Miss Yafei from the Mitel Auction House and I... ahem, had a personal misunderstanding some time ago."

After he finished speaking, he briefly recounted how his original body had asked the Galie family to send people to kidnap Ya Fei for their sexual pleasure.

"It turns out that the reason why the Galie family's assassins broke into the Mitel auction house that night was because of you..." After hearing what Liu Xi said, Xiao Yan did not know whether to laugh or cry.

He happened to be there that night, and it was he who stepped in at the critical moment to protect Yafei.

And that incident was also one of the reasons why the Mitel Auction House's branch in Wutan City chose to help the Xiao family from a neutral perspective in the competition between the Xiao family and the Gale family.

"Yes, Brother Xiao Yan, you know, this kind of thing is usually very difficult to talk about. Women are the most vengeful. Although nothing happened that night, I was definitely hostile to Ya Fei." Liu Xi said with a wry smile.

I can only say that sometimes when he thinks about those things one by one, he finds that his original body had set quite a few traps for him.

"But, at the moment, there is no one else who can do this for me except you. If it were someone else, I wouldn't dare tell him so much. And about the Qi Gathering Powder and the list of medicinal materials, people might think too much about it and even ask questions about it. If someone talks too much afterwards, my father and the elders might know about it. If they ask to see my teacher, I won't be able to refuse..."

Xiao Yan pressed his temple and said worriedly.

When Liu Xi saw his look, he wanted to say, you can ask Xiao Xun'er to do it for you. With her feelings for you, she will definitely keep it secret for you. But he swallowed the words when they came to his lips.

He didn't believe that Xiao Yan didn't think of Xiao Xun'er. After all, this guy was quite good at "living off someone for free". But since he didn't choose to do so, he must have his own reasons. He wouldn't waste his time on it.

"Well, I went to the Miter Auction House as a customer to patronize their business. Even if Yafei dislikes me because of what happened that night, I don't think she would do anything to me. I will deliver the Qi Gathering Powder to you." Liu Xi sighed.

In fact, although he looked so embarrassed on the surface, he didn't feel it was too much trouble in his heart. He just wanted Xiao Yan to owe him a favor.

You know, in the morning, he was thinking about going to the Miter Auction House to see if there was a long sword that suits him.

Of course, he was a bit sinister in doing this, but how bad were his intentions?
That's not the case.

And does he really have to help Xiao Yan?

He could have refused!

Choosing to help you is a favor no matter what, but not helping you is my duty.

As for Yafei's attitude after arriving at the Mitre auction house, he didn't really take it to heart. He knew that she had grown up in the Mitre family, and the concept instilled in her by her family education was to put interests first and personal emotions last.

Whenever he came as a customer, Yafei would keep her emotions to herself and deal with him with a bright smile.

That woman is quite cunning...

"Brother Liu, please help me buy the herbs on this list. Please accept this card. The balance on it should be more than enough to buy the herbs on the list."

As he spoke, Xiao Yan took out a green card with the Mitel Auction House logo engraved on it and handed it to him.

Seeing him accept it, Xiao Yan said:
"When you go to deliver the Qi Gathering Powder, the second-rank alchemist Gu Ni from the auction house might also be there. Don't underestimate that old guy, he's actually very shrewd. He might test you with words and ask about my identity as a 'teacher'..."

Liu Xi waved his hand, interrupted him, and said:
"I understand. No matter if he or Ya Fei tries to test me, I will still say the same thing. The mysterious person beside you has some connection with my teacher. I won't say more. In a word, you can rest assured that I will do the job."
