READ NOVEL ONLINE Chapter 27.1: I Know You're in There
After leaving the Jia Lie clan, Xiao Zhan first checked Xiao Yan’s injuries and confirmed that there was no major injury on him. He breathed a sigh of relief and then thanked Ya Fei with a cupped fist.
“Miss Ya Fei, thank you for resolving the situation today. The Xiao Clan would remember the favor you did this day forever.”
Although the Xiao Clan would have to bear thirty percent of the cost for the Revitalizing Pills for the Jia Lie clan in the future, compared to the situation of both clans being devastated, this outcome was already much better.
Moreover, even with this compromise, if it weren’t for Ya Fei mediating in the name of the Miteer Family, Jia Lie Bi would never have accepted it.
As Jia Lie Bi said, the reason he accepted this resolution was mostly to give face to Ya Fei and the Miteer Family behind her.
“Patriarch, you don’t need to worry. As Ya Fei just said, if the two major clans of Wutan City were to really fight and suffer losses, the Miteer Auction House would inevitably be affected. Ya Fei cannot stand idly by.”
Ya Fei’s words were sincere. From a businessman’s perspective, how much money could be made from ordinary people? Therefore, most of the income of the Miteer Auction House still came from the three major clans of Wutan City.
If the Jia Lie and Xiao clan were to engage in a full-scale conflict, their economies would inevitably be severely damaged. The Miteer Auction House relied on making money from the three major clans of Wutan City. If two of them were gone in an instant, how could the Miteer Family survive?
But truthfully speaking, Ya Fei’s intervention in the affairs of the two clans was mostly for the sake of Xiao Yan.
After all, what Xiao Yan had done this time was indeed too excessive, and continuing to stir up trouble would be extremely detrimental to him.
‘But come to think of it, it’s the first time I’ve seen Xiao Yan’shandle things so brutally…’
Ya Fei furrowed her brows slightly as she looked at Xiao Yan who was being carried back on Xiao Yu’s back.
The three years of them being together had made Ya Fei deeply understand that Xiao Yan was not a person who lacked judgment in his actions. She had never heard of Xiao Yan doing something without making any room for retreat for both him and his opponent in advance.
And the scene in the Jia Lie clan’s courtyard just now had truly startled Ya Fei. Jia Lie Ao’s limbs were completely severed, and even more horrifying than that is what had happened to Liu Xi.
Such a brutal act, if it weren’t for the fact that the evidence was literally right there, Ya Fei would never believe it was done by Xiao Yan.
‘It seems that there are still some aspects of this younger brother that I don’t fully understand…’
Ya Fei thought to herself and turned to Xiao Zhan, speaking softly.
“Patriarch, Ya Fei will return to the auction house first. I hope your son would be able to recover soon.”
“Ah, take care.”
Xiao Zhan bid farewell to Ya Fei and then shifted his gaze to Xiao Yan, who was carried on Xiao Yu’s back, a bitter smile forming at the corner of his mouth.
“This kid, it’s the first time I’ve seen him being so ruthless.”
Xiao Yu looked at Xiao Yan, who was unconscious leaning against her shoulder. Her eyebrows slightly furrowed. Although she was shocked by Xiao Yan’s ruthless attack, there was another thing that puzzled Xiao Yu even more.
Xiao Zhan and her grandfather arrived late and didn’t know, but she was present at the scene. She clearly saw the clash between Xiao Yan and Jia Lie Bi.
It wasn’t as if Xiao Yu wished for Xiao Yan to be harmed, but it wasn’t an exaggeration to say that if that strike had landed, Xiao Yan’s arm would have been completely torn off, rather than just having its bone broken, which was incredibly abnormal.
Xiao Yu knew that Xiao Yan had been unable to cultivate due to his inability to condense Dou Qi, so he had been training his physical body all along. His physical body was indeed strong and resilient.
But the difference between a Da Dou Shi (Battle Grandmaster, 4th Level) and a low-level Dou Zhe (Battle Practitioner, 2nd Level) like him was simply too great, and it couldn’t be compensated for by having a strong physique alone.
