"Young Master, the Mite'er Family dares to be so disrespectful. According to the law, they should be exterminated," Xiao Wu said, his expression grim.
Since becoming Xiao Yan's bodyguard, everyone they encountered had been extremely polite to the Imperial Son.
To call the Xiao Clan's Imperial Son a bastard? Not even a Dou Saint would dare to say such a thing.
Was this an insult to Xiao Yan? It was a slap in the face to the Xiao Clan.
Furthermore, even if Xiao Yan wasn't the Xiao Clan's Imperial Son, he was a Dou Saint's grandson and a Dou Venerate's son. If this was heard by those from the Xiao Lin line...
The Jia Ma Holy City would vanish from the map of the Northwestern Continent tomorrow.
Although the Xiao Clan rarely interfered in external affairs, it didn't mean they could be offended by these small fries.
Xiao Yan shook his head, his expression calm.
But Ya Fei, standing beside him, looked shocked, and the two guards nearby were even more terrified.
Elder Lei Ou, who had been so arrogant, was just… gone.
Perhaps the power released by that beam of light had been too overwhelming, because various auras within the Mite'er Family were awakened.
In just a moment, an old man, his Dou Qi wings spread, arrived at the scene.
When the old man saw Xiao Yan standing with Ya Fei and Elders Wen and Wu, his pupils suddenly contracted.
"What brings the three of you to visit our Mite'er Family?"
Mite'er Tengshan wore a friendly smile, seemingly oblivious to the bottomless hole in the ground.
The three people in front of him were actually stronger than himself.
Even the young man's strength was difficult for him to gauge. He could only vaguely infer that the youth's strength far surpassed his own.
As for the two elders, he couldn't even detect their auras. Only an occasional glance made him feel like an ordinary person gazing up at a giant dragon.
He hadn't felt this way even when facing a Dou Ancestor.
And judging by the two elders' demeanor, they seemed to be the youth's bodyguards.
"Just what is this youth's identity?" Mite'er Tengshan swallowed hard.
He vaguely sensed that the Mite'er Family, which was out of reach for the Empire's commoners, had encountered a terrifying power that was beyond their reach, too.
This power was far beyond his knowledge and imagination.
After all, how many people on the Northwest Continent had ever seen a Dou Emperor in their teens?
"I do have a few things to handle," Xiao Yan said, holding Ya Fei, who was still reeling from the shock.
Turning to Mite'er Tengshan, he stated, "Ya Fei is now my woman. The person in charge of the Mite'er Family should be changed from now on."
Upon hearing this, Mite'er Tengshan's expression froze.
Is this guy being a bit too direct? However, he dared not say anything, and could only force a wry smile.
Xiao Yan's words left the experienced old man speechless. It wasn't until Ya Fei recovered from the shock that she regained her usual composure.
"Elder, this is Xiao Yan, he is my..." Ya Fei paused.
"Man," Xiao Yan emphasized.
Ya Fei didn't say anything, just glanced at Tengshan with a slight blush, and said, "Elder, aren't you going to invite our honored guest for some tea?"
With her words, Tengshan finally found a way out of the awkward situation.
He immediately smiled respectfully, "Esteemed guests, you've traveled a long way. Why don't we first go to the VIP lounge for some tea?"
Xiao Yan nodded.
"Come, Mr. Xiao Yan, try some of our Jia Ma Empire's special dishes."
Half a day later, in a lavish restaurant, Mite'er Tengshan's aged face was practically beaming with a smile.
After a brief conversation, he finally understood the whole story.
The young man in front of him was called Xiao Yan, and he was the young master of a prominent family from Central State.
Mite'er Tengshan didn't know how powerful the family behind this young man was, but he could vaguely sense that there were at least Dou Venerate experts within the young man's family.
Even the two elders behind him could potentially be high-level Dou Ancestors, or even Dou Venerate experts.
As for the power behind him that could make such a strong person a bodyguard, Tengshan didn't dare to imagine. He only knew that any of the elders behind this young man were enough to easily destroy the Jia Ma Empire.
Even the young man himself was someone who could run amok in the Jia Ma Empire.
This made Tengshan's heart firm up on a single thought: lick!
If he could make this young man happy, the Mite'er Family would rise.
As for Elder Lei Ou, who had just been burned to nothingness, good riddance!
If it wasn't for Ya Fei's ambiguous relationship with this Young Master Xiao Yan, the Mite'er Family might have been finished today.
Xiao Yan nodded; Tengshan's performance was quite satisfactory to him.
He reached out with a smile to pick up some food, but a chubby little hand intercepted him.
Xiao Yan's face darkened as he looked at Hun Xin, who was eating with her mouth full of oil, and snorted coldly, "No lollipop for you tomorrow."
The little girl's face froze, and then she burst into tears.
"What did you do?" Ya Fei glared at Xiao Yan, then gathered Hun Xin into her arms.
"Xin Xin, don't cry. Sister will take you to eat delicious food tomorrow, okay?"
Hun Xin's crying stopped abruptly, and she smiled sweetly at Ya Fei, "Thank you, Auntie."
Ya Fei's face darkened, and she put Hun Xin back in her seat.
"Why is this child so annoying?"
Ignoring the neglected Hun Xin, Xiao Yan continued to look at Tengshan, took a sip of his wine, and smiled, "Elder Tengshan, I've told you almost everything, so you should know who the future head of the Mite'er Family will be, right?"
"Understood, understood." Tengshan looked at Xiao Yan with a smile, nodding like a chicken pecking at rice. "Ya Fei's business talent is already outstanding, and now that we have Mr. Xiao Yan's support, she must be the head of our Mite'er Family."
For him, it didn't matter who became the head of the family. He would support whoever could lead the Mite'er Family to greater strength.
This Elder's enthusiasm and sense of responsibility for the family were quite good.
Xiao Yan nodded in satisfaction, while Ya Fei, who was beside him, looked at him with even more tenderness.
The next morning, in the Mite'er Family meeting hall, Mite'er Tengshan no longer had the deference he showed Xiao Yan the previous day. His expression was stern and cold, displaying the true authority of an Elder.
"Elder, what's the rush to call us here so early in the morning?" someone yawned.
"Yes, Elder, what urgent matter requires a meeting so early?"
Mite'er Tengshan slowly stood up, looking at the elders in the meeting. The weakest among them were all seven-star Dou Grandmasters, the elite of the Mite'er Family.
However, today, if they chose the wrong side, they would be kicked out of the family's core.
He calmly and steadily said, "Ya Fei returned yesterday."
As soon as he said this, nearly half of the elders' faces changed.
"Why did she come back? Didn't she go down to train?"
"Yes, the three-year period hasn't arrived yet, and she's back. This violates the family rules and should be punished."
An elder snorted coldly, and then he felt a cold gaze staring at him.
Looking up, it was the Elder Lei Ou who was looking at him, and he clearly felt a hint of killing intent in the elder's eyes.
"Everyone!"
Mite'er Tengshan ignored the noisy voices of the crowd, and his powerful aura suppressed the entire scene.
"The moment that will determine whether the Mite'er Family rises or falls has arrived, and the key to it all is Ya Fei!"
"From today on, I will fully support Ya Fei in becoming the head of the Mite'er Family."
"That's all I have to say. All in favor, say aye! All opposed, say nay!"
