Xiao Yan had no choice but to appear and promise to let bygones be bygones. Only then did the people kneeling in front of the door heave a sigh of relief.
However, the matter did not end so simply. Instead, it became more and more intense.
An unparalleled expert descended in Wu Tan City. Like a violent hurricane, it swept through the entire Garland Empire, shaking the heavens and earth.
In a moment, the various clan leaders and elders of the Garland Empire all brought along valuable gifts and hurried to Wu Tan City to visit Elder Yao at the Xiao Clan.
The Xiao Clan instantly became the focus of the entire Garland Empire. Experts gathered and even Wu Tan City was congested. The restaurants and inns were full of people.
Zhou Yang was in the guest room of the Xiao Clan. In a secluded room, he frowned as he sized up the three maps floating in front of him.
One map was drawn by Zhu Kun. It was a map of the Dou Qi continent's power distribution from tens of thousands of years ago. The lines were rough and could only be used as a reference.
Another map was drawn by Elder Yao. It contained a detailed map of the Dou Qi continent's power distribution. Among them, the map of the Central Region was the most detailed. One hall, one tower, two sects, three valleys, and four pavilions.
There were also some hidden powers. They were all hidden in the space world. For example, the ancient race's ancient world and the soul race's soul realm. Elder Yao was unable to draw their specific locations.
The last map was a map of the northwest continent. It included the Garland Empire and the surrounding countries.
"The treasured lands of the Dou Qi continent have almost all been occupied by the major powers."
Zhou Yang scanned the three maps in front of him and sighed.
However, the main purpose this time was to develop the Firmament Great World's alchemists.
Thus, the spiritual items were not the main purpose this time. Other than a few relics with more treasures, Zhou Yang did not care about the others.
"The Central Region is the center of the Dou Qi continent. The Elixir Development Special Zone will be established in the Central Region."
Zhou Yang said after thinking for a while.
"This special zone needs someone familiar with the Dou Qi continent to take care of it."
Zhou Yang would only establish this special zone. He needed someone in charge to take care of it in the future.
In the Battle Through the Heavens, there were two people suitable to take care of the Elixir Development Special Zone. Zhou Yang thought of them.
One was Wu Tan City's Ya Fei and the other was the organizer of the spatial trade fair.
The spatial trade fair was the top trade fair of the Dou Qi continent. The original Xiao Yan had once traded for one of the four map fragments of the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame, Heaven class Dou Technique Diamond Glass Body, Nine Colored Origin Stone.
If Wanjie Lou directly recruited people from the spatial trade fair, it would naturally save a lot of effort.
However, the process would be to recruit people from the spatial trade fair.
"Let me see Ya Fei first."
A glimmer of brilliance flashed through Zhou Yang's eyes. Ya Fei had an extremely strong talent in business. She had the superb skills to turn a piece of trash into a top-notch product. She was a super auctioneer that everyone in the Jia Ma Empire knew.
However, Zhou Yang was still worried that she did not have enough vision. Zhou Yang needed someone who could control the Firmament World.
Right now, Ya Fei was only a small auctioneer in Wu Tan City. Perhaps in the future, she could grow into the Golden Empress, but Zhou Yang did not have the time to give her that.
"Xiao Ning, invite Ya Fei from the Primer Auction House. If she is not willing, then forget it."
Zhou Yang instructed Xiao Ning, who was standing outside the door with a solemn expression.
He was the grandson of the Xiao Clan's First Elder. He was sent to help Zhou Yang. Xiao Zhan was still being dragged by Zhu Kun to discuss how to get his daughter's forgiveness.
Moreover, Xiao Zhan was a very experienced person.
Xiao Yan had come from Earth with his original memories. He was very cold to his surroundings. Xiao Zhan had used fatherly love to melt Xiao Yan's cold heart and let him gradually accept the Firmament World.
"Yes, shopkeeper."
Xiao Ning nodded and walked to the guest hall.
He did not know what the title of shopkeeper meant. But since his grandfather told him to, he had to obey.
When Xiao Ning turned to leave, a strange look flashed in his eyes.
Ya Fei was a beauty that everyone in Wu Tan City knew. She was a beauty that could cause the downfall of a city. Her mature and charming charm had made many people bow down to her.
"Could it be that the shopkeeper, a powerful expert, has taken a fancy to Ya Fei?"
Xiao Ning suspected.
Xiao Mansion, guest hall.
The hall was about ten feet wide. Although it was very spacious, it was a little crowded.
But everyone sitting in the hall did not have a trace of dissatisfaction. Instead, they had smiles on their faces. As they chatted, it was peaceful and cheerful.
Because, anyone who could step into the Xiao Mansion could represent that they had an important position in the Garan Empire. Not to mention that there was a seat in the hall.
Garan Empire's Imperial Guardian, Jia Xing Tian, Garan Empire's Alchemist Association President, Fa Ma, Pill River Ancient King, Gu He, Garan Empire's Primer Clan Elder, Primer Tengshan, Garan Empire's Mu Clan Leader, Mu Chen …
These people sitting in the guest hall were all famous in the Garan Empire. With a stomp of their feet, the Garan Empire would tremble.
Only Dou Wang and Dou Huang had a seat. Dou Ling could only stand. Da Dou Shi could not even enter the Xiao Mansion.
"Grandpa, the shopkeeper wants to see Miss Ya Fei of the Primer Auction House."
Xiao Ning swallowed his saliva at the entrance of the hall. He paced back and forth for a few steps before carefully walking in. He did not even dare to breathe too loudly.
These were all peerless experts that he looked up to. Unexpectedly, all of them were obediently sitting in the Xiao Mansion, just to be able to see Zhou Yang and his group.
After a short day of fermentation, the various large factions had already heard everything that Zhou Yang and his group could find out from the mouths of some of the Xiao Mansion's clansmen and servants.
The guests in the Xiao Mansion were not one strong person, but a group of strong people.
A peerless expert that could nurture a sixteen year old trash into a Dou Wang was not even the strongest person in this group.
How could this not make the heads of the top factions in the Garan Empire feel numb and tremble.
A Dou Huang could not even nurture a sixteen year old Dou Shi, much less a sixteen year old Dou Wang.
A sixteen year old Dou Wang, even a Dou Zong could not be nurtured.
Could it be that Xiao Yan's master was a Dou Zun?
Everyone was so shocked by this terrifying guess that they felt dizzy.
The Garan Empire did not even have a single Dou Zong. Xiao Yan's master was actually a Dou Zun. The impact on them was like a bolt from the blue.
As for a Dou Sheng?
These people did not dare to continue guessing. How could such a legendary unparalleled expert come to such a remote place like the Garan Empire?
Although Xiao Ning's voice was very soft, which one of the people in the guest hall was not a strong person?
When these people heard Xiao Ning's words, their hearts violently twitched. One by one, their gazes turned towards the Primer clan's first elder, Primer Tengshan. Their gazes were filled with thick envy, jealousy, and hatred.
Everyone in the hall thought that other than her peerless beauty, there was nothing special about Ya Fei.
Now that she was called over by the shopkeeper, what other reason could it be? It was definitely because he had taken a fancy to Ya Fei's stunning appearance.
In the Dou Qi continent, the strong were respected. People without strength or beautiful things could only become the accessories of the strong.
Everyone thought that it was normal for Ya Fei to be fancied by a Dou Zun because of her beauty.
Some of the people in the guest hall wished that they could have Ya Fei's peerless beauty. The remaining people were jealous of Tengshan. Why would he have an incomparably beautiful junior like Ya Fei?
Why was their granddaughter not fancied by the shopkeeper?
Even the Garan Empire's imperial family protector, Jia Xing Tian, the Jia Ma Empire's Mu clan leader, Mu Chen, these people had already secretly made up their minds. In a while, they would quietly inform their subordinates to bring the most beautiful women in their clan to Wu Tan City. Perhaps they could also marry that unknown expert.
"Cough cough … I will go and inform Ya Fei to come over."
Primer Tengshan coughed softly, concealing the shock in his heart. He suddenly stood up and flew towards Wu Tan City's Primer Auction House.
Following the Garan Empire and even the surrounding large factions sending people to the Xiao clan, the local factions of Wu Tan City had already lost the qualifications to enter the Xiao clan.
"Ya Fei, that shopkeeper expert wants to see you."
Primer Tengshan entered the auction house and went straight to the point. He was not the slightest bit tactful as he spoke to Ya Fei.
This was because Primer Tengshan understood that the right to choose did not lie in his hands. Ya Fei might be able to make her own choice, but the final decision was still made by the strong person called the shopkeeper.
Ya Fei was wearing a red long dress. She had a pair of watery, narrow, and beautiful eyes. Her pretty face emitted a natural charm. Adding that to her devil-like figure, every frown and smile of hers was enough to steal one's soul.
This was an extraordinarily beautiful woman.
When Ya Fei heard Primer Tengshan's words, her expression became absent-minded. It was a long while before she recovered. Her pretty eyes revealed a rich bitterness. Her jade-like hands gently caressed her pretty face.
At this moment, she did not know whether she should be happy or sad.
If it was someone else who was fancied by a top expert, it was likely that they would throw themselves into his arms without any hesitation. However, Ya Fei did not want to be a man's decoration.
"Yes, First Elder."
Ya Fei stood up and slowly said.
She was a smart woman. She knew that her rejection could bring about terrifying consequences.
In front of a Dou Zun, the person she relied on in the past would vanish with a wave of the Dou Zun's hand.
"Shopkeeper, Miss Ya Fei is here."
Outside the door, Xiao Ning's head was very, very low. He did not even dare to look at Ya Fei.
This girl, whom he could not shift his gaze away from in the past, was no longer someone he could covet. He did not even have the qualifications to look at her.
Xiao Ning's heart was filled with sorrow. He wished that he could swap bodies with Ya Fei.
The person in front of him was a Dou Zun. Once he had a relationship with a Dou Zun, becoming a Dou Wang or Dou Huang in the future would not be a problem.
Xiao Yan only had a Dou Zun as his master. At the age of 16, he became a Dou Wang. Thinking of this, Xiao Ning wanted to beat his chest. Why was he not a girl?
Why did he not have a beauty that could cause the downfall of a country?
"If the person in front of me was my sister, it would also be fine."
Xiao Ning lamented in his heart. If the person who walked into the room was his sister, Xiao Yu, he was afraid that he would have laughed until he was out of breath.
His brother-in-law was a Dou Zun. Thinking of this beautiful fantasy, Xiao Ning's expression became blurred. It was as if he saw himself becoming a Dou Huang and being all-powerful in the Garland Empire.
"Shopkeeper, I will take my leave first. Call me if you need anything."
Xiao Ning shook his mind and recovered from his fantasy. Seeing Ya Fei walk into the room, he gently closed the door and tactfully said something before hurriedly running away.
As for matters, he would probably have to wait until the next day.
"Greetings, shopkeeper."
Ya Fei walked into the room and saw a man around 20 years old standing in the room. He was currently sizing her up.
"A 20 year old Dou Zun?"
Ya Fei's small mouth opened slightly. Her expression was a little sluggish. She was completely shocked by Zhou Yang's age.
Could it be that the person in front of her had become a Dou Zun at the age of 20?
At the same time, Ya Fei's heart also fiercely heaved a sigh of relief. She was really afraid that he would be an old man. The current situation was perhaps the best result.
"No need to be reserved."
Zhou Yang looked at Ya Fei's nervous face and a trace of sadness. He was slightly stunned and opened his mouth to speak.
"I want to recruit a business management talent. I have heard of your talent. I wonder if you are willing to work for me?"
"If you are willing, pick up the jade scroll on the table and give me a reasonable plan tomorrow according to the jade scroll's introduction. If you are not willing, you can leave."
Zhou Yang opened his mouth to speak.
Ya Fei was speechless.
"Thank you shopkeeper for your appreciation."
Ya Fei's beautiful eyes sized up the indifferent face of Zhou Yang. A strange expression flashed in her eyes.
At this moment, she did not know whether she was happy or disappointed.
Finally, there was someone who appreciated her talent. She should be happy.
But why did he value her talent? Could it be that her charm had declined?
Ya Fei didn't hesitate. She picked up a sparkling and translucent jade slip on the table, bowed gracefully, and slowly retreated.
"Sigh ~"
Xiao Ning sat in a cool corner and let out a sigh. His heart was too hot.
Wu Tan City's most beautiful flower had an owner just like that.
"Xiao Ning, go and inform Xiao Yan and the others. I may leave tomorrow. If they have any arrangements, they can also move freely."
Just at this moment, Xiao Ning heard Zhou Yang's voice beside his ear. Immediately, a thick strange expression flashed in his eyes.
How long had it been? Three minutes? Was it five minutes?
