Since he was recognized by Ya Fei, there was no point in pretending anymore. Xiao Yan reluctantly took off his hood, revealing his youthful face.

Sister Ya Fei, how did you recognize me?

His body was covered by the cloak, and his voice intentionally lowered, making it difficult to identify him. He thought he had hidden himself well, but Ya Fei recognized him on the spot.

Hmph, how did I recognize you? Ya Fei smiled and leaned closer to Xiao Yans face, looking at his gradually reddening face. Why dont you guess?

Ya, Sister Ya Fei!

As Ya Fei approached, the unique fragrance on her body almost made the innocent Xiao Yan lose himself. He suddenly regained his senses and backed away a bit from Ya Fei.

Yao Chen shook his head as he watched this scene, cursing himself for having such an incompetent disciple.

Since she was teasing you, why dont you tease her back? What are you afraid of? What if you meet a woman in the future who tries to eat you alive? Would you just lay there and take it?

However, Xiao Yan did not know what Yao Chen was thinking. The fragrance of Ya Feis body still lingered around his nose, and he seemed to understand something, causing his pupils to shrink suddenly.

Is it because of the scent from this afternoon?!

Although theres only a faint scent left, This sisters nose is very sensitive, Ya Fei narrowed her eyes, causing Xiao Yan to break out in a cold sweat.

Just a momentary contact left behind a lingering scent, and it could still be smelled in the afternoon

So why did my little brother come to find me so late, and in disguise? Is there something you want to tell me? Ya Fei crossed her arms and looked at Xiao Yan with a seductive smile.

Xiao Yan was deep in thought, and finally looked at Ya Fei seriously.

Sister Ya Fei, can you keep what Im about to say a secret?

Seeing Xiao Yans serious expression, Ya Fei put away her smile and silently locked eyes with him.

After a while, Ya Feis vermilion lips parted, and she replied in a firm tone.

Okay.

This short word contained Yas full sincerity.

Ya knew how to use sweet words to convince others, but she would never use this tactic on Xiao Yan.

Since childhood, Ya had been taught by her grandfather to be cautious of anyone, including her grandfather who taught her this point of view.

Three years ago, Ya Fei was sent to the family business in Wutan City to gain experience. There, she met Xiao Yan, who represented the Xiao family and had not yet fallen from his grace at the time. They gradually became acquainted through business dealings.

Even after Xiao Yans spiritual power regressed and he became a waste, Ya Feis impression of him did not diminish in the slightest.

After all, Ya Fei was a merchant who dabbled in cultivation, but did not place too much importance on it.

Compared to that, Xiao Yans character as a young and inexperienced youth was more important to her.

In the short three years of their acquaintance, Ya Fei realized that Xiao Yan might be the only person in this world who was worthy of her sincere treatment.

This young manwas too upright, so upright that he did not seem like a person that should belong to this world.

If she used the tactics she used in the family business on Xiao Yan, Ya Fei would never be able to forgive herself.

She was not qualified to taint this integrity.

Therefore, answering Xiao Yans question only required one word from the bottom of her heart.

After receiving Yas answer, Xiao Yan did not hesitate anymore and took out the Foundation Building Elixir, handing it to Ya Fei.

Sister Ya Fei, this item is called the Foundation Building Elixir. It can improve the speed of cultivating Dou Qi when dissolved in water for soaking. I hope it can be auctioned at the Miteer Auction House.

Ya Fei took the Foundation Building Elixir from Xiao Yans hand, and her charming eyes stared at the emerald drop of liquid in the bottle in wonder. Suddenly, she thought of the wood attribute monster core that she had given to Xiao Yan earlier in the afternoon.

Did you make this?!

Ya Fei leaned closer to Xiao Yans face with excitement in her eyes. Xiao Yan grinned and raised his body slightly.

I dont have that ability yet. I just recently met an alchemist who took me as her disciple. I also sought her permission before bringing this Foundation Building Elixir here for auction.

Being taken as an alchemists disciple?!

Ya Fei was stunned by this and then pointed to the bottle of Foundation Building Elixir in her hand.

Shouldnt you keep this elixir for yourself? Why would you sell it at an auction? she asked.

Um well Embarrassed by Ya Feis question, Xiao Yan scratched his face and replied, I need the money.

Ya Fei was momentarily stunned when she heard his answers, then covered her mouth and burst out laughing.

Hahaha, my dear little brother. Not only are you the son of the head of the Xiao clan, but youre also apprenticed to an alchemist. Yet, youre selling the elixir that you should be using yourself because youre short on cash? Thats hard to believe!

Although she said this, Ya Fei didnt doubt Xiao Yans reasons at all.

Because he was just that honest. Honest to the point where he wouldnt tell a lie even if it was in his best interest.

With Xiao Yans personality, he wouldnt ask his father for money for his own personal needs, even if Xiao Zhan was willing to provide it.

As for being short on cash even after being apprenticed to an alchemist, there were only two possibilities.

One was that Xiao Yans teacher was very stingy, so stingy that he wouldnt even give his disciple the money to buy materials. But if that were the case, this teacher wouldnt allow Xiao Yan to sell the Foundation Building Elixir. Therefore, the first possibility was unlikely.

But an alchemist can also be broke. Since most High-level elixirs cannot be measured by money, so they are mostly exchanged through barter. In other words, a high-level alchemist may indeed be short of money, but they definitely have countless treasures!

Could the alchemist who took Xiao Yan as a disciple be of this level?

Although she had such doubts in her heart, Ya Fei did not inquire.

She was a very intelligent woman who knew what to ask and what not to ask.

I understand, Ill take the things first. Ya Fei collected the foundation spirit liquid and looked at Xiao Yan with a light smile. When uncle Gu Ni comes to the auction house tomorrow, Ill ask him to appraise it.

Thank you, Ya Fei.

As Xiao Yan spoke, he was about to bow and salute, but he noticed Ya Feis slightly displeased expression and quickly withdrew his hand.

Seeing Xiao Yan withdraw his hand, Ya Fei nodded in satisfaction and then a charming smile once again appeared on her face.

Now that the matter is settled, little brother, do you want to come to big sisters room

I will take my leave then!

Before Ya Fei finished speaking, Xiao Yan was already sweating profusely as he hastily pulled up his cloak and fled the room without a moments hesitation.

Although he was still underage, he was at least a male. If he stayed with Ya Fei, who was such a seductive woman, Xiao Yan could not guarantee that he would not make a move on her.

Watching Xiao Yan run away, Ya Fei couldnt help but feel amused.

Mou~ Why do you keep running away? Its not like I would eat you. As soon as she said this, Ya Fei paused slightly, then revealed a meaningful smile. No thats not necessarily true~
