Jiama Empire, Wutan City
Xiao family....
The main hall door opened with a bang and a young man in black clothes was seen running towards the back-mountain in a hurry .
Shortly after he left, many people came out and began dispersing while whispering to each other.
"It's really a little tragic."
Another person beside him sneered: "It's not tragic, but the way of the world. Moreover, he deserved it."
"That is, it is like a toad trying to eat swan meat."
"He even caused the Patriarch to lose face."
"Will the elder faction win then?"
"Hush...we shouldn't talk about these matters. Let's hurry and go back."
In the crowd, only a boy and a girl walked leisurely as if not affected by the situation at all.
The boy was like a banished immortal with sword eyebrows and starry eyes.
And.
The girl was ethereal and elegant like a fairy descended from heaven. Her purple dress and tight belt accentuated her graceful figure and her skin was like snow.
Her flawless face was like a piece of art and her every move carried a sense of mystery.
"Brother Xiao Fan, what do you think of this Nalan Yanran?"
The girl asked the boy seemingly casually.
"Well, she has a bit of pride but it's justified. She is fighting to gain control of her life which I admire. Although I don't approve of her way, her goal is clear."
The boy named Xiao Fan didn't think much and just put forward his view.
The girl raised an eyebrow and continued: "Brother Xiao Fan, I haven't seen you admire someone before."
There was something in her voice which Xiao Fan caught accurately.
He turned around and scratched her nose dotingly: "What? Is Xun'er jealous?"
Xun'er immediately turned her head away and said: "I'm not. It's just I have never heard you praise someone so much and... it's a girl."
At the end of the sentence she lowered her voice so that Xiao Fan couldn't hear it except he still heard it.
"Don't worry. Xun'er will always be in my heart."
He laughed and rubbed her head lovingly which she enjoyed a lot. And there was a sweet smile on her face.
That's right!
Xiao Fan is a traveler. He crossed to the world of 'Fight Breaks the Sky', 15 years ago and became an orphan of the Xiao family.
As a person who is familiar with the plot, he successfully intercepted Xiao Yan from sneaking in at night outside Xiao Xun'er's courtyard thus getting her attention.
After subsequent meetings, they became friends.
With the help of the system, he even helped her with her backlashes which further gained her trust and gradually her love.
"System, Open status!"
Inside his room, Xiao Fan sat on his bed and moved his mind.
A holographic translucent panel appeared in front of him with his basic details.
[Name: Xiao Fan]
[Cultivation: 5 star Dou Ling]
[Qi method: Incinerating Heaven Sutra(Heaven, Low)]
[Dou techniques: Dark Fire palm (Xuan, High), Void Walk (Earth, Mid), Star Sword Technique [1st] (Earth, Low)]
[Soul : Mortal (High)]
Looking at the fairly luxurious panel in front of him, Xiao Fan curled up his lips.
His system is a sort of Task system which gives him tasks and on completing them, he can claim the rewards.
There are penalties to failure and time limits in some cases.
Actually, even stopping Xiao Yan from entering Xiao Xun'er's room was a system task.
It also gave him the best reward so far.
The Incinerating Heaven Sutra!
A Heaven rank upgradable technique which works the same way as Xiao Yan's Flame Sutra except it's starting point is already at the heaven rank!
This is also the most precious technique in his arsenal at the moment.
After getting to Dou Zhe and condensing his douqi cyclone, Xiao Fan immediately practiced it and since then his cultivation has increased by leaps and bounds. His speed is faster than anyone he knows, even better than Xun'er!
The might of a heaven rank technique cannot be underestimated.
According to his estimation, this technique can make him reach the Dou Zong level before his cultivation speed drops!
During the following years, Xiao Fan has completed all the tasks and gained a lot of techniques and other objects among which there is also a space ring.
Just as he was reminiscing about old days, the long lost system voice appeared in his mind.
[Task: Help Ya Fei transfer back to the royal capital with due respect and increase her reputation in the Mitter family.
Reward: Nether Poison Flame]
Looking at the reward, Xiao Fan froze for a moment.
Then he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Hahahahaha.....
After laughing for five straight minutes, he finally stopped.
He has been in this world for so many years and completed a lot of tasks but none has rewarded him with a heavenly flame.
The Nether Poison Flame although on the lower ranks of the Heavenly Flame list, is known for its toxicity.
Let alone swallow, many people don't even know it exists. Those who know don't look for it as it is too difficult to control.
As for whether Xiao Fan could handle it, the system rewards will never harm the host which is what the system said on the first day!
After coming out of his ecstacy, Xiao Fan finally set his eyes on the main task.
It's actually not that difficult. Even in the original novel, Ya Fei eventually became the head of the Mitter family.
She even came to be known as the Queen of Gold for her keen insights and business capabilities.
But the Ya Fei right now is looked down upon by the family elders and the only reason for it is her talent.
"Hmm..." Xiao Fan held his chin as if brewing a plan.
This task might take some time.
Two months passed in a flash....
One night, the Mitter Auction House branch of Wutan City was decorated as usual. The splendor and architecture boasted luxury in every sense.
One can imagine how powerful and financially capable the Mitter family— one of the three major families of the Jiama Empire is, to incorporate such luxury into a small branch.
Of course, it is because the Mitter family mainly focuses on business so it has to take care of appearances otherwise the other families are not too far off in financial matters.
From the outside, a lot of people of various origins kept flowing in through the entrance door greeted by two female attendants with utmost professionalism.
Among the crowd, a figure covered in black cloak stood in front of the auction house for a moment before stepping inside.
