more than half a month later

Utan City, Mittel Auction House.

In the VIP room on the second floor of the auction house, Ya Fei, dressed in a red robe, was introducing the current situation of Wutan City to Nalan Sheng.

Nowadays, there are no longer any so-called "three major families" in Utan City; the Galley family and the Oba family are both things of the past.

It is said that a few months ago, the patriarchs of the two major families secretly hired a Great Dou Master-level assassin in an attempt to nip Xiao Yan in the bud.

As a result, the assassin not only failed in his assassination attempt, but also lost his own life.

The unethical behavior of the two families also angered the mysterious alchemist behind Xiao Yan.

As a result, the top leaders of the two families all died overnight. Without a leader, the businesses of the two families were quickly swallowed up by the Xiao family.

The Xiao family has now become the most powerful family in Wutan City, and only the City Lord's Mansion and the Mittel Auction House can stand on equal footing with them.

"I see."

Nalan Sheng was not too surprised when he learned that the Xiao family had annexed the other two major families.

According to the original plot, even without the butterfly effect caused by Nalan Sheng, the Jia Lie family and the Ao Ba family would still have been unable to escape the fate of being swallowed up by the Xiao family.

With Xiao Yan's powerful rise, the Xiao family would certainly not be content to remain in a corner of the world. The appearance of Nalan Sheng only brought forward the time for the destruction of the two major families.

"Young Master Sheng, what brings you to Wutan City this time? You're not here to cause trouble for Xiao Yan, are you?"

Halfway through her sentence, Ya Fei couldn't help but say earnestly, "Listen to your sister's advice: it's better to resolve conflicts than to let them fester."

Although you and Xiao Yan have some grudges, they are not deep-seated hatreds.

The mysterious alchemist behind Xiao Yan was able to kill all the high-ranking figures of the two major families in one night. This person must be at least a fourth-grade alchemist.

You probably know better than I how influential a fourth-grade alchemist is; they are someone even a Dou Wang (Battle King) expert wouldn't want to provoke.

Besides, even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake. Wutan City is ultimately the Xiao family's territory. If you really provoke Xiao Yan, you'll be the one who suffers in the end.

"Don't worry, Sister Yafei!"

Nalan Sheng smiled and waved his hand, saying, "I'm not here to cause trouble for Xiao Yan this time; on the contrary, I'm here to give him money."

"ah???"

When Ya Fei heard Nalan Sheng say this, she couldn't help but show a somewhat surprised expression.

"Her name is Qinglin, and she is my newly acquired personal maid."

Before the look of confusion on Ya Fei's face could fade, Nalan Sheng pointed to Qing Lin beside him and introduced her: "This girl had never cultivated battle qi before. She only started cultivating battle qi after she came with me half a month ago."

Without external help, it's hard to say how long it would take for this girl to become a Dou Zhe (fighter) if she relied solely on her own cultivation!

Therefore, I want to buy a few bottles of Foundation Building Elixir from Xiao Yan so that this girl can also break through to the Dou Zhe realm as soon as possible.

However, as you know, Sister Yafei, I don't get along with Xiao Yan. He definitely won't sell me the Foundation Establishment Elixir easily. I can only ask you to help me acquire a few bottles of Foundation Establishment Elixir.

"You're quite magnanimous."

Upon learning that Nalan Sheng's trip to Wutan City was actually to help Qing Lin purchase Foundation Establishment Elixir, Ya Fei couldn't help but show an envious expression.

You should know that a bottle of Foundation Establishment Elixir is worth at least 30,000 to 40,000 gold coins on the market.

Even if Nalan Sheng only buys three bottles of Foundation Establishment Elixir, it will still cost him about 100,000 gold coins.

Nalan Sheng spent such a great price just so that Qing Lin could break through to the Dou Zhe realm as soon as possible.

If Qinglin were Nalan Sheng's fiancée like Xiao Yixian, that would be fine, but she's just a maid!

"Young...Young Master, I can cultivate on my own without needing that Foundation Establishment Elixir."

Although Qing Lin didn't know exactly how valuable the Foundation Establishment Elixir was, she learned from Nalan Sheng and Ya Fei's conversation that Xiao Yan had a grudge against Nalan Sheng.

In Qinglin's eyes, Nalan Sheng was a ray of light in her desperate life, even more important than her own life.

Qinglin naturally didn't want to see Nalan Sheng yield to his mortal enemy just to help him buy Foundation Establishment Elixir; that would be too much of a humiliation for his young master.

"Silly girl, don't overthink it. I lack everything, but the one thing I have plenty of is money."

Looking at Qinglin's face, which was full of emotion and self-reproach, Nalan Sheng smiled and patted her little head, saying, "Money is meant to be spent. If you keep it in your hands and are reluctant to spend it, wouldn't you become a miser?"

Moreover, in my eyes, our Qinglin is priceless, far more valuable than a few bottles of Foundation Establishment Elixir.

"Young Master~"

Upon hearing this, Qinglin's eyes reddened slightly, and she almost couldn't hold back her tears.

Seeing this, Little Fairy Doctor's face flashed with a hint of emotion, and her gaze toward Nalan Sheng became even gentler.

Nalan Sheng is always like this; he's incredibly kind to his own people.

The reason why Little Fairy Doctor was willing to follow him wholeheartedly was because Nalan Sheng was willing to treat her with utmost sincerity!

"Young Master Sheng, could you please stop being so nice to Qinglin?"

Coming to her senses, Ya Fei teased with a smile, "After what you did, I'm even considering becoming your personal maid."

"Sister Yafei, please stop teasing me. You're the woman who will inherit the position of patriarch of the Mittel family in the future. How can you be my personal maid?"

"How dare you say that to me? You're the one making fun of me."

Ya Fei rolled her eyes at Nalan Sheng and said, "Do you think I'm as lucky as you? I was born as the young patriarch of the Nalan family, and I'm guaranteed to inherit the position of patriarch in the future."

Although I am also a direct descendant of the Mittel family, my parents died early and I have no powerful backing in the clan.

Furthermore, my talent for cultivation is only average. If I were to become an elder in the clan in the future, I would already be considered extremely lucky. How could I dare to covet the position of clan leader?

"Sister Yafei, don't underestimate yourself!"

Seeing Ya Fei's self-pitying expression, Nalan Sheng suppressed a laugh and said, "I see that your forehead is red and there is a faint purple aura rising from the top of your head, which is a sign of great fortune."

If I'm not mistaken, it will only take two or three months at most for you to be transferred back to the capital, and you should be entrusted with an important task by the family.

"Really?"

Seeing Nalan Sheng's confident demeanor, Ya Fei asked with some skepticism, "When did you learn fortune telling?"

"Of course it's true."

Nalan Sheng nodded affirmatively and said, "If you don't believe me, just wait two or three months and you'll know whether what I said is true or false."

If my calculations are inaccurate, after you return to the capital, could I do something within my power for you? What do you think?
