Chapter 11 Visiting the Xiao Family? The Xiao Family is Shocked!
Dan Wang Guhe stared at the Dou Ling Pill in his hand, remaining silent for a long while.
Gu He raised his head and looked at Ya Fei.
"How can a small place like Wutan City have such an alchemist?"
Ya Fei nodded.
"Are you sure it was Xiao Ze who made it?" Gu He asked.
"The client is indeed Xiao Ze," Ya Fei said. "As for whether he personally crafted it, I haven't seen it with my own eyes, so I dare not make a conclusion."
Guhe frowned slightly.
If this Spirit-Boosting Pill was indeed refined by Xiao Ze, then Xiao Ze must be at least a sixth-grade alchemist, a sixth-grade alchemist who is fifteen or sixteen years old.
Gu He muttered to himself, recalling how he was still struggling to obtain third-grade pills when he was fifteen or sixteen.
Fama stood to the side, his eyes full of interest.
"Regardless of whether Xiao Ze personally refined it or not, anyone who can produce a sixth-grade pill deserves to be met," Fama said.
"President Fama is right," said Mittel Tengshan. "If Xiao Ze really is a sixth-grade alchemist, then our Mittel family must cultivate a good relationship with him."
“It’s not just about building relationships,” Fama said. “People like this should be recruited into the Alchemists’ Guild.”
Guhe glanced at Fama, but said nothing.
Ya Fei stood to the side, slightly startled as she listened to the conversation between the three.
President Fama's intention was to recruit Xiao Ze, Chief Mittel's intention was to make friends with him, and although King Dan Guhe did not express his opinion, his personal visit to Wutan City already showed his attitude.
"Ya Fei, send someone to the Xiao family to invite Xiao Ze over," Mittel Tengshan said.
Just as Yafei was about to speak, Fama waved his hand.
"No need to send someone to invite them," Fama said. "We'll visit the Xiao family ourselves."
Ya Fei was stunned. President Fama was going to the Xiao family in person?
She looked at Mount Mittelten.
Mittel Tengshan pondered for a moment, then nodded.
"Fama is right, a personal visit shows more sincerity," Mittel Tengshan said.
Ya Fei looked at Gu He.
"I'll have someone arrange it right away," Ya Fei said.
Consort Ya walked out of the VIP room and called over a maid.
"Go to the Xiao family and inform them that the head of the Mittel family, Fama, the president of the Alchemist Guild, Guhe the Pill King, and I will be visiting the Xiao family later."
The maid was stunned when she heard this.
The maid thought she had misheard.
"Yes."
The maid turned and left, her steps unsteady.
The head of the Mittel family, the president of the Alchemist Guild, and Gu He, the Pill King—these three important figures are actually going to visit the Xiao family.
The maid took a deep breath and quickened her pace.
The main hall of the Xiao family.
Xiao Zhan sat in the main seat, with several elders sitting on either side.
They are discussing taking over the Galley family's business.
"The market town owned by the Jialie family is in a good location, and our Xiao family should take it over first," the First Elder said.
"We definitely need to take over the market, but we can't let go of the Jia Lie family's medicinal herb business either," the Second Elder said.
"The medicinal herb business has always been a major source of income for the Jia Lie family. If we can take it over, our Xiao family's income will at least double," the Third Elder said.
Xiao Zhan nodded, and was about to speak.
A guard walked in from outside.
"Chief, someone outside requests an audience," the guard said.
"Who?" Xiao Zhan asked.
"A maid from the Mittel Auction House said she's here to report," the guard said.
"Let her in," Xiao Zhan said.
The guard turned and left, and soon returned with a maid.
The maid entered the hall and bowed slightly to Xiao Zhan.
"Clan Chief Xiao," the maid said.
"What business do the people from the Mittel Auction House have with my Xiao family?" Xiao Zhan asked.
"Ya Fei sent me to inform you," the maid said. "The head of the Mittel family, Fama, the president of the Alchemist Guild, and Dan Wang Guhe will be visiting the Xiao family later."
The hall suddenly fell silent.
Xiao Zhan's teacup remained suspended in mid-air; he did not move.
The head of the Mittel family? The president of the Alchemist Guild? Pill King Gu He? Are these three people coming to the Xiao family?
Xiao Zhan couldn't believe his ears.
The elders were all dumbfounded, their mouths agape, unable to utter a word for a long time.
The elder rubbed his ears, thinking he had misheard.
"What did you say?" the Grand Elder asked. "Who wants to come?"
"The head of the Mittel family, Fama, the president of the Alchemist Guild, and the Pill King Guhe," the maid repeated.
The elder's mouth opened even wider.
Why would these three important figures come to the Xiao family?
The Xiao family is considered decent in Wutan City, but they are nothing compared to the entire Jia Ma Empire.
People of the Mittel family's rank, whom you can't even see normally, are actually coming to visit the Xiao family now.
"Ya Fei will also be coming," the maid added.
Xiao Zhan put down his teacup and took a deep breath.
"Okay, you can go back now," Xiao Zhan said.
The maid turned and left.
The hall was quiet for a moment before the elders spoke at the same time.
"Chief, what's going on?"
"Why would the head of the Mittel family come to our Xiao family?"
"Dan Wang Gu He? He's the only sixth-grade alchemist in the Jia Ma Empire."
"President Fama is here too? When did our Xiao family gain such influence?"
Xiao Zhan waved his hand, signaling the elders to be quiet.
"I don't know what they're here for," Xiao Zhan said. "But since they're coming, our Xiao family should treat them well."
The elders exchanged glances and nodded.
Regardless of the circumstances, the personal visit of these three important figures to the Xiao family is a significant event for the family.
If the reception is handled well, the Xiao family's position in Wutan City will be further solidified.
It's definitely not a coincidence that these three people came to the Xiao family at the same time; something serious must have happened.
Xiao Zhan muttered to himself, "Could it be Xiao Ze?"
Xiao Zhan's brows furrowed tightly.
Not long after.
Several figures walked over from outside the Xiao family's gate.
Leading the way was Mittel Tengshan, who wore a long black robe and exuded a composed demeanor.
Fama followed beside Mittel Tengshan, his white hair and sharp eyes shining.
Guhe walked at the very back, his face calm and expressionless.
Ya Fei walked beside the ancient river, her red dress standing out.
When the Xiao family guards saw these people, their expressions changed.
They didn't know Mittelteng Mountain, nor Fama, nor Guhe, but they knew Yafei.
The auctioneer at Mittel Auction House, a big shot in Utan City.
A guard rushed in to report.
Xiao Zhan and several elders walked out of the hall.
Xiao Zhan was startled when he saw the people outside the door.
Mittel Tengshan's aura was unfathomable; he was at least a Dou Wang level expert.
Although Fama had white hair, his eyes were so sharp that people dared not look directly at him.
Gu He walked at the very back and appeared to be the youngest, but the moment Xiao Zhan saw Gu He, he felt a sense of oppression.
Dan Wang Gu He, a sixth-grade alchemist and a Dou Wang powerhouse.
Xiao Zhan took a deep breath and quickly went to meet him.
"I was unaware of your presence; I have failed to greet you properly," Xiao Zhan said, cupping his hands in greeting.
"Chief Xiao, you're too kind," Mittel Tengshan said. "Please forgive my unauthorized visit."
"Please come in, everyone." Xiao Zhan stepped aside.
Mittel Tengshan nodded and took the lead in walking through the Xiao family's gate.
Fama and Guhe followed behind Mittelten Mountain.
Ya Fei walked at the very back, and she nodded slightly to Xiao Zhan.
Xiao Zhan watched their retreating figures, his heart filled with doubt.
What exactly are these important figures doing at the Xiao family's house?
