Chapter 9 Come forward
Xiao Xue asked curiously, "Ms. Yafei, how do you know I'm a woman? Do I have a label on me?"

Ya Fei looked at the delicate white hand that had been withdrawn and smiled: "Sir, the hand that took the card just now didn't look like a man's hand. Such a white and delicate hand, if you say it's a man's, Ya Fei will never believe it."

Xiao Xue was a little embarrassed, as Ya Fei couldn't see her because she was wearing a cloak.

"Is that all?" Xiao Xue wanted to know how powerful Ya Fei was.

"Of course not. The fragrance on your body also betrays you. A man would never use such a fragrance. Wouldn't it appear too unmanly?" Ya Fei continued her analysis.

Xiao Xue couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "Miss Yafei is really observant. It seems that I need to learn more from Miss Yafei in the future."

Xiao Xue herself was inconsiderate enough to realize that most of her disguise had been exposed.

"You are overpraising me, sir. I have only met many people and have some small skills in judging people and things. How can I compare with you, sir?"

"Ms. Yafei is too modest. After meeting you today, I admire you deeply."

The two of them flattered each other, causing Yafei to cover her mouth and laugh.

"I haven't laughed so happily in a long time." Yafei laughed from the bottom of her heart.

The two chatted for a while before Xiao Xue left. Ya Fei personally saw Xiao Xue out.

Miraculously, Gu Ni personally escorted Xiao Xue out of the Miter Auction House.

The people from the three major families who were far behind were dumbfounded when they saw the man in black robe being respected by Yafei and Guni. When did such a powerful alchemist come to Wutan City?

It goes without saying that today's elixir must have come from the hands of this black-robed man. It seems that the black-robed man's alchemist level must be higher than Master Gu Ni.

In fact, Xiao Xue's alchemist level at this time was only level one, yes, a level one alchemist.

Jialebi walked over with a smile on his face: "Ms. Yafei, Master Gu Ni, is that gentleman just now the alchemist who is auctioning the elixir today?"

Yafei and Guni certainly knew what Galeb was thinking.

Gu Ni replied contemptuously: "That's right, but Chief Jialie, don't have any bad thoughts. Since this master can refine elixirs that have never appeared on the continent, his strength must be extraordinary."

Obviously, Gu Ni was warning Galiebi not to offend the alchemist, otherwise the consequences would be serious.

"Master Guni, look at what you said, how dare I have any evil thoughts?" Galbi replied with a smile.

"There is no best." Gu Ni said this and left.

Galibi was left looking at Master Guni's back with an embarrassed look on his face.

Ya Fei bowed and said, "Please make yourselves at ease."

Yafei chased after him, and Jialebi looked at Yafei with contempt.

I didn't expect that such a powerful figure would come to Wutan City. Even Master Gu Ni from Miter Auction House was so respectful to him. I think he must be a powerful figure.

The patriarchs of the three major families left Mittel Auction House with their own thoughts.

Due to Xiao Xue's early appearance, the Wind Scroll Technique, an intermediate Xuan-level skill originally acquired by the Jialie family at auction, was acquired by the Xiao family, which also caused a feud between the Jialie family and the Xiao family.

"Master Guni, what do you think Jialebi meant just now?" Yafei chased after him.

"What do you mean? You mean you're looking for death? Is there any alchemist on this continent who is easy to mess with? Especially the one here today, I'm afraid his strength is unfathomable. With his strength, I'm afraid the force behind him cannot be underestimated." Gu Ni said, looking back in the direction of the end of the corridor.

Yafei also looked back, wondering where she came from.
-

A few days later, one night, the bell of the Xiao family rang loudly. Xiao Xue was practicing in the house. She didn't know what was wrong with her these days. She felt empty inside and her progress in practice seemed to have fallen behind.

"Little sister."

When Xiao Xue heard the bell, she quickly opened the door. At this time, Xiao Yan came over from his own courtyard, calling Xiao Xue.

"Brother, what's going on?"

Xiao Yan listened carefully to the bell and said, "Something must have happened to the family. Let's go to the meeting hall as soon as possible."

"Okay, bro, let's go."

When the two of them arrived at the meeting hall, there were many people in the hall. Xiao Xue looked over and wondered why the person sitting in the VIP seat on the left was so impressive, but she couldn't remember where she had seen him before.

When Xiao Xun'er saw the two of them coming, she stood up and waved. Xiao Yan and Xiao Xue quickly walked to Xiao Xun'er's side.

There was no way out. There had never been any seat reserved for the two of them in family meetings, and they had to squeeze in with Xiao Xun'er every time. Such days would surely be gone forever.

Seeing Xiao Yan's arrival, the three elders' eyes were clearly not right, as if they were hostile.

Even though the three elders normally looked down on the brother and sister, they would never look at them with such hostility.

Xiao Xue thought quickly and suddenly an idea flashed in her mind. Oh, right, isn’t that girl Nalan Yanran from the Yunlan Sect?
So, Nalan Yanran came here to cancel the engagement? This is too abominable.

Xiao Yan still didn't understand what was happening.

I rushed over here when I heard the bell just now. It seemed like there was a heavy sense of oppression in the air.

Xiao Xun'er gently pulled Xiao Yan's clothes and whispered, "Brother Xiao Yan, your fiancée is here to break off the engagement!"

It turned out that because Xiao Yan and Xiao Xue lived a little far away, when they rushed over, Nalan Yanran had already told them the reason why she came to the Xiao family.

"Fiancée?" Xiao Yan also looked at Nalan Yanran who was sitting diagonally across from him.

"What? Brother Xiao Yan doesn't remember?" Xiao Xun'er was filled with jealousy.

Xiao Yan suddenly remembered: "Oh, you mean she is Nalan Yanran? Wait? What do you mean by breaking off the engagement?"

"Yes, just now when Brother Xiao Yan and Sister Xue'er were not here, Nalan Yanran stated her purpose of opening the Xiao family." Xiao Xun'er explained the information Xiao Yan wanted to know like a competent wife.

Xiao Xue cried out inwardly, "Oh no, damn it!" She had thought that her arrival would affect one thing and then a series of things, but in the end she still couldn't avoid the cancellation of the engagement.

No wonder I have been feeling uneasy these past few days. It turns out someone was bullying my brother.

Xiao Zhan smiled and said, "Niece Nalan, you were not joking when you said you wanted to cancel the engagement, right? That was a marriage arranged by your grandfather and Yan'er's grandfather himself."

Nalan Yanran acted superior and didn't take Xiao Zhan seriously at all. This superior feeling made Xiao Xue feel very uncomfortable.

"Patriarch Xiao, I think I have made it clear enough. There is no need to repeat it a second time."

Xiao Zhan's expression became slightly embarrassed. Nalan Yanran did not give Xiao Zhan any face at all. But Xiao Zhan was the patriarch of the Xiao family after all. How could Xiao Zhan lead the family in the future?

Xiao Xue couldn't bear to watch any longer, so she stood up and walked to the meeting hall: "Are you Nalan Yanran?"

Nalan Yanran turned around and looked at Xiao Xue, giving her a puzzled look, but still answered Xiao Xue's question: "Yes, I am. I wonder who you are?"
