Chapter 120 Marriage
"By the way, Hai Lao, speaking of which, I have already arrived in the imperial capital, and it is time to go to the Nalan family to cancel the engagement. However, my family is not around, and old man Nalan Jie is a Dou Wang strongman. I am afraid to go alone. If Hai Lao does not mind, why not accompany me?"

Xiao Yuan suddenly spoke.

"You're scared?"

Hai Bodong's brows trembled when he heard this, and he looked like a liar.

This kid snatched the strange fire from Queen Medusa. In terms of courage, I'm afraid there are few people in the Gama Empire who are braver than him, right?

"You know, Hai Lao, I'm just an ordinary great Dou Shi. Dou Wang strongmen are already irresistible to me."

Xiao Yuan sighed helplessly.

Hai Bodong watched Xiao Yuan showing off here with an indifferent expression.

He believes what others say.

When Xiao Yuan said this, he didn't believe a single punctuation mark.

Not to mention that Xiao Yuan also has a little monster-like brother who can burst out with the strength of at least a five-star Dou Huang at a critical moment. Even he, the Ice Emperor who has been famous for a long time, is quite afraid of Xiao Yan's white strange fire.

What's more, a sixth-rank alchemist who possesses a strange fire is even more capable and important than Gu He. Even a Dou Zong master has to give him some face.

In addition, Xiao Yuan obviously has a close relationship with Yun Yun of the Yunlan Sect. To be honest, there are two Douhuang powerhouses standing behind Xiao Yuan.

In the entire Gama Empire, there are probably few people who can have such a background.

This is also why Hai Bodong said to Mitel Tengshan before that even if the Mitel family lost the Ice Emperor, they could not lose Xiao Yuan.

Because he was on the same front as Xiao Yuan, he would at least gain some friendship from Xiao Yan, who was a high-level alchemist who could refine sixth-grade elixirs.

But if you stand on the hostile side of Xiao Yuan, you will encounter countless troubles.

Not to mention Xiao Yuan’s own terrifying talent, and he had just recovered a lot of strength with the help of Xiao Yuan.

So he would definitely agree to Xiao Yuan's request this time.

"Hmph, whatever. I'll just go with you."

Hai Bodong looked at Xiao Yuan's eager eyes, curled his lips helplessly, and said lightly.

"Hehe, thank you in advance, Mr. Hai!"

Xiao Yuan also knew that Hai Bodong would definitely agree to his request, so he nodded with a smile.

"Speaking of the Nalan family, they seem to have been in trouble recently and are in a state of panic!"

Ya Fei suddenly smiled when she heard this and took over the topic.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Xiao Yuan raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

"Hehe, the information I got here is that the old man of the Nalan family once fought with an extremely poisonous fifth-level magical beast, the Branding Poison Python, a few years ago. Although he killed it in the end, he was unfortunately injected with a terrifying toxin, the Branding Poison, into his body.

You know, in the records, there are cases where the Iron Poison Seal Python poisoned and killed a sixth-level monster. If it weren’t for the fact that the number of such monsters is so rare that it can be ignored, I’m afraid many strong people on the continent would be horrified by this poison…”

Ya Fei narrowed her eyes and said with a smile.

"It's actually branding poison? This thing can be extremely troublesome even for a Douhuang strongman!"

Hearing this, Hai Bodong on the side obviously knew a lot about this and said with a serious face.

"Yes!" Ya Fei nodded, and continued, "Over the years, relying on his tyrannical fighting spirit, Mr. Nalan has been suppressing the poison, but as time goes by, the rebound of the poison is getting stronger and stronger. Just two days ago, the branding poison hidden in his body finally broke out completely.

Under this kind of outbreak, even the Dou Wang-level Nalan elder collapsed completely. Now the entire Nalan family is in chaos, searching everywhere for alchemists to rescue them. "

Hearing this, Xiao Yuan nodded with a serious face. If this was the case, it would be difficult for him to cancel the engagement.

Don't let Nalan Jie get angry to death.

"Sister Yafei, I don't like taking advantage of others. Speaking of which, isn't Nalan Yanran the young master of the Yunlan Sect? She could have just asked Gu He to find an alchemist, right? Why would she look for alchemists everywhere? Could it be that they are more powerful than Gu He?"

Xiao Yuan pondered for a moment and then asked.

"Nalan Yanran is not stupid. She has already asked for help. However, Gu He has no way to remove the poison. The poison is just like its name. It is deeply embedded in the bones and even the bone marrow. No elixir can remove it."

Shaking her head, Yafei said regretfully.

"If Gu He can't do anything, why bother looking for an alchemist?"

Xiao Yuan asked this, but he already knew in his heart that he would have to deal with Nalan Jie's poison himself.

"Then I don't know. I haven't gotten any more information yet. But you can go to the Nalan Mansion and ask. I don't think they will take your kindness for granted, right?"

Ya Fei shook her head regretfully, and then said uncertainly.

Obviously, from Xiao Yuan's point of view, Ya Fei didn't have a very good impression of the Nalan family either.

"Oh, by the way, I heard that Nalan Yanran's breaking off of the engagement had nothing to do with Old Man Nalan. In fact, the old man even angrily drove Nalan Yanran out of the house several times later, although this was not permanent..."

Ya Fei then added.

"Tsk, it sounds like Mr. Nalan is okay. In that case, I can go to the Nalan Mansion to take a look."

Hearing this, Xiao Yuan touched his chin and nodded. The main reason for this trip was to get the Seven Illusions Green Spirit Saliva. After all, Yao Lao had more strength, so when they met the people from the Soul Palace, the possibility of killing or capturing them would be higher.

If Yao Lao's spiritual power could be restored to its perfect state as soon as possible, ordinary Dou Zong would probably not be his match.

After all, that was the soul of one of the continent's top alchemists, a powerful Dou Zun.

"Well, speaking of which, when I was still in charge of the family, I did hear about some things about the Nalan family and the Xiao family. I didn't expect that after decades, it would develop into what it is today."

Hai Bodong sighed upon hearing this.

However, as a Douhuang powerhouse, he doesn't pay much attention to Douwang.

After all, sparring with people of the same level can improve his strength. For those at a lower level, he has only had some exchanges with the Dou Wang within the family and received some guidance on cultivation.

"Ebi, the medicine is here!"

Before Mitel Tengshan entered the room, the voice rang out eagerly. Then, Xiao Yuan and the other two saw Mitel Tengshan, dressed in a gorgeous robe and holding four jade boxes in his arms, running in excitedly.

Then, he placed the jade boxes on the table, lined them up, and opened them all.

"Well, the quality is good, worthy of the Mittel family!"

Xiao Yuan glanced over, nodded, and said with a smile.

Hai Bodong on the side took a look and also smiled with satisfaction.

With these medicinal herbs, he is one step closer to recovering his strength.

"good."

Hai Bodong said to Mittel Tengshan with a smile.

"Since it is what the old shrimp needs, we must naturally use the best quality medicinal materials. I wonder what else the old shrimp needs? I will arrange for someone to collect them!"

Mittel Tengshan's expression became more serious when he heard this, and he said solemnly.

Before Hai Bodong could say anything polite, Xiao Yuan handed the prescription given by Xiao Yan to Mitel Tengshan and said:
"Great Elder, please collect the herbs according to the prescription. This is very important to Hai Lao."

Hearing this, Mittel Tengshan took the prescription, glanced at it, and found that many of them were medicinal materials for refining sixth-grade pills. He immediately realized that this pill must be for Hai Bodong, and his face became more solemn.

"Don't worry, Hai Lao, the medicinal materials on this prescription will definitely be delivered to Hai Lao within three days!"

After making a solemn promise, Mittel Tengshan put away the prescription, and then his expression changed. He smiled awkwardly and said, "Why don't you return to live in the family? I have been cleaning your room all these years!"

Hai Bodong's face softened a little when he heard this, but he still said, "Not for now. I haven't been back to the capital for a long time. I want to look around."

"Okay, Hai Lao, you can come back anytime you want. I'll send someone to take care of your room and the yard."

Mittel Tengshan said with a smile upon hearing this.

"Ah."

Hai Bodong nodded upon hearing this.

"By the way, Xiao Yuan, your Xiao family's former house, Ya Fei has asked me to buy it back for you. Someone has already gone there to clean it up, and you can move in at night."

Mittel Tengshan then spoke to Xiao Yuan.

Hearing this, Xiao Yuan looked at Ya Fei beside him with some surprise.

At this moment, Yafei nodded her head to the side and showed a gentle smile.

"Thank you so much, Sister Yafei and the Great Elder! From now on, my Xiao family and the Mitre family are the best allies. Haha, maybe we will become relatives in the future. However, I still need to ask my father to discuss this with the Great Elder. But Xiao Yuan guarantees one thing here, the Mitre family will definitely become the largest and strongest business family in the entire continent in the future!"

Xiao Yuan nodded, stood up, looked at Ya Fei with gentle eyes, then turned to look at Great Elder Tengshan with gratitude and said solemnly.

Hearing this, Mitel Tengshan and Hai Bodong showed a similar smile on their faces. They didn't care whether Xiao Yuan was bragging or not. As long as Xiao Yuan said so, at least in this Gama Empire, the Mitel family would be able to stand for hundreds of years without decline!

By then, the Mittel family's accumulation will only increase, and it will be easier to become powerful.

However, Ya Fei cared more about the marriage that Xiao Yuan mentioned. Although in name, it was a family marriage, in fact, she and Xiao Yuan were in love with each other. Such a marriage would be good for her and the family as well. It would be a win-win situation!

"Tengshan, you should take care of this matter yourself. I, as the clan leader, have been missing for more than 20 years, so I am really unqualified. You will be the clan leader from now on. You have shouldered this responsibility well, so keep going!"

Hai Bodong gave instructions to Mittel Tengshan who was standing beside him.

"Don't worry, Mr. Hai. The future head of our family is going to get married, so the standard will naturally be high."

Although Mitel Tengshan didn't know many things about Xiao Yuan, the terrifying talent that he had cultivated from fighting spirit to a great fighting master in more than two years was visible to the naked eye. What's more, he also believed in Hai Lao's judgment.

As for Yafei, he was not worried either. As a member of the Miter family, as long as the family treated Yafei well, Yafei would only be better to the family.

"what?"

Now it was Yafei's turn to be shocked. With just a few words, she would become the future head of the family?
"This, the great elder, Hai Lao."

Yafei felt really flattered and wanted to say something embarrassedly, but was interrupted by Hai Lao waving his hand.

"You are quite capable. If there are any problems in the future, the family has the right to ask you to give up the position of clan leader, but I believe you will not let me down. The foundation of my Mitel family is a pair of discerning eyes for identifying people and things. If you hadn't valued Xiao Yuan in the beginning, I'm afraid I would still be in seclusion now.

Just based on this point, you are qualified to become the patriarch of the Mitel family. The ability to do things can be trained. Tengshan should be the one who has the most say on this point. He was not as capable as he is now in the past, and he was often instructed by me. Now the great elder is doing a very good job.

If it weren't for your lack of qualifications, age, and experience, I would have let you inherit the position of clan leader immediately. As long as I give the order, no one has the right to criticize you!"

Hai Bodong's words left Ya Fei completely speechless.

Although his words contained some intention of supporting her because of Xiao Yuan's relationship, Hai Bodong also had a very high recognition of her abilities. This was the recognition of her from the first person in the family, the real patriarch.

This made her very happy.

Being recognized by Hai Bodong is definitely a symbol of honor in the Mittel family!
"Ebi, please save some face!"

Mittel Tengshan said with a wry smile upon hearing this.

"Haha, are you still afraid of people talking about your affairs? There were some people who did things better than you back then. Now that you have become the Great Elder, it is the best proof of your hard work. It is also a symbol of excellence."

Hai Bodong was obviously in a good mood, and he praised Ya Fei and Mittel Tengshan in succession.

Hearing this, Mittel Tengshan trembled, nodded, and almost couldn't hold back the tears in his eyes.

It’s really not easy to hear Hai Lao’s recognition over the years!
"Haha, since Xiao Yuan has a place to stay, I'll go and stay there for a few days. We'll be a family sooner or later anyway. This kid has inherited my legacy, so I can shamelessly be his half-teacher. I don't think he has any objections. There's no need to waste manpower to clean the family room. I'll notify you in advance when I'm ready to come back and live here."

Then Hai Bodong put away the herbs on the table, and then smiled and gave instructions to Mittel Tengshan.

"Well, everything is as Ebi said!"

Upon hearing this, Mittel Tengshan naturally had no choice but to agree and nodded.

"Okay, Xiao Yuan, let's go and take a look around Nalan Mansion!"

Seeing this, Hai Bodong nodded and called out to Xiao Yuandao.
