Chapter 128: The Relocation of the Xiao Family! The Arrival of Nalan!
When Ya Fei saw the property deeds and documents in the small box, she was stunned.
She soon recalled what Xiao Ze had mentioned about the relocation of the Xiao family.
"Aren't the higher-ups of the Xiao family going to beat you for giving these things away?"
"It's a joke, they're now eager to worship me."
Ya Fei quickly understood the situation. With Xiao Ze's current strength at the pinnacle of Dou Wang, the benefits he brought to the Xiao family were much greater than these few properties and deeds.
"Such a large property, how should I thank you?"
Looking at the box, Ya Fei was moved. She wanted to refuse, but Xiao Ze insisted.
"I already told you, Ya Fei jiejie, even a small kindness should be returned with infinite gratitude."
"Wow, being your friend is a stroke of luck. What I did for you doesn't compare to this."
Ya Fei closed the box, bit her lip, and determinedly leaned in to give Xiao Ze a soft kiss on the cheek.
Feeling the touch, Xiao Ze was momentarily surprised.
"Wow, Ya Fei jiejie, you took advantage of me! It's not fair, I want to return the favor!"
Xiao Ze feigned surprise and opened his arms, trying to hug Ya Fei.
Ya Fei escaped laughing like a bell.
"That's not right."
Leaving those words, Ya Fei ran out of the room.
"Ugh..." Ya Fei leaned against a nearby wall, her chest rising and falling rapidly, her heart pounding.
She couldn't believe she had kissed someone, even if it was just on the cheek. And on top of that, her "younger brother," who was younger than her!
Thinking about it, Ya Fei's cheeks flushed.
"Am I an old woman taking advantage of a young man...?"
She touched her face, still in the bloom of her youth, but compared to Xiao Ze, who hadn't even celebrated his coming-of-age ceremony, it seemed she was.
Shaking her head to clear those thoughts, Ya Fei realized she was thinking about a future with Xiao Ze. But she was just an auctioneer, and Xiao Ze, with his rapid ascent to Dou Wang, had a promising future.
Did she have the right to aspire to him?
With these somber thoughts, she hugged the small box and walked away slowly.
In Ya Fei's room, Xiao Ze was deep in thought. His game was just that, a game. With his strength, Ya Fei couldn't have escaped if he didn't want her to.
What worried him was the rapid rise of Xun Er. She wasn't only using her clan's enhancement technique but was also taming the Jindi Fentian Yan, a terrifying fire ranked fourth on the Heavenly Flames list.
"Is Xun Er trying to tame the Jindi Fentian Yan at the Dou Wang level?"
Xiao Ze was concerned. Although it was the hereditary fire of the Gu clan, taming it at the Dou Wang level was very risky.
"Now she's a five-star Dou Wang... It seems she's progressing well. I hope she succeeds."
The next day, the Xiao family set off for Jia Nan City in the center of the Black-Corner Region. With a Dou Wang protecting them, it was unlikely for any problems to arise. In the Black-Corner Region, a Dou Wang guaranteed a place in the second tier of power.
With Xiao Yi Xian's venomous body, even a Dou Huang wouldn't intimidate her.
Thanks to Xiao Ze's help, her venomous strength was purer, and her combat power more remarkable.
After sending off the Xiao family, Xiao Ze returned to Wutan City. The Mittel auction house quickly took over the Xiao family's properties and positions.
The people of Wutan realized that the mobilization was not for starting a fight but for relocating elsewhere. However, they found it strange that they abandoned everything in Wutan in this manner, considering it a risky move.
They didn't know that the Xiao family now had the protection of a Dou Wang. With that, they could stand firm in any empire in the northwest of the continent.
Walking through the streets of Wutan, Xiao Ze was worried.
Although he wanted to eliminate the spies of Soul Hall, doing it alone was almost impossible. Few in the Jia Ma Empire knew of Soul Hall's existence.
"At least I moved the family to Jia Nan. If I can't find the spies of Soul Hall, they will have a safe refuge."
"When Yun Shan contacts Soul Hall, he will be on the verge of death and seek their help to break through to Dou Zong."
"If Yun Shan hasn't contacted them yet, even if I kill him now, it wouldn't solve the problem."
"Soul Hall could easily support another force, and with their power, they could create a Dou Zong."
Xiao Ze realized his mistake. He had relocated his family to Jia Nan, a chaotic place to gather information, giving him more time to grow.
He had paused because his strength was still insufficient.
If he were strong enough to dominate the northwest of the continent, many problems would solve themselves.
But reaching that level would take time.
"Ugh..." Xiao Ze relaxed. His recent actions had been confusing, but now, with his family safe, he had to focus on his own strength.
He looked at his system and saw a pending link option. However, Medusa hadn't evolved into the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python yet.
"I can't rush this..."
He murmured, realizing he had arrived at the Shengde Inn, owned by the Nalan family.
The bustle suggested they were expecting someone important. Was the young lady of the Nalan family arriving?
Xiao Ze smiled, thinking about how Nalan Yanran would react to seeing an empty Xiao family house.
