Battle Through the Heavens: I Am the Righteous Path
Chapter 726 Xiao Yan is soft-hearted but not hard-hearted
"Thank you for your hard work, everyone."
Soon all the Han family's goods were moved down, and the salesperson from the Black Seal City Auction House counted the goods and put them into the storage ring. Then Han Yue looked at the Han family servants and clapped his hands lightly.
"We will start purchasing goods tomorrow and return the day after tomorrow. Today, you can move freely and gather in front of the Black Seal City Auction House early tomorrow morning."
"Oh!"
The Han family responded happily, and then left in twos and threes, arm in arm, discussing where to go for a good meal. Of course, the Han family's commercial vehicle was also taken away, as they couldn't just leave it in someone else's warehouse taking up space.
"Okay, my business has come to an end." Han Yue put one hand on her waist and looked at Xiao Yan with her beautiful eyes, "Xiao Yan, thank you, where are you going next?"
"I'll go look for someone at the auction house."
Xiao Yan pointed to the Black Seal City Auction House behind him, and Han Yue nodded in understanding.
"Well, then you go ahead and do your work. We won't bother you anymore."
After saying that, Han Yue waved her hand lightly, pulled Han Xue and turned to leave. Han Xue was still struggling unwillingly.
"Sister, Xiao Yan helped us, why don't you treat him to a meal?"
"Alright, alright, Xiao Yan has his own things to do, don't cause trouble for him."
The two sisters left noisily. Xiao Yan looked at their departing backs, chuckled, and turned to look at Gu Qinghan.
"Qinghan, let's go."
"Ah."
Gu Qinghan nodded lightly, followed Xiao Yan out of the warehouse of the Black Seal City Auction House, walked around to the front of the auction house, greeted the receptionist at the door with a nod and smile, and then entered the auction house.
The receptionist at the door watched Xiao Yan and the other person go in, or to be more precise, Xiao Yan who was walking in front, and leaned over to whisper in the ear of the person next to him.
"Hey, this is the guy who just followed the Han family caravan in. I still feel like I've seen him somewhere before."
The other person looked at Xiao Yan's back, and this time he did not refute out loud, but frowned.
"I didn't see him just now, but now it seems like I've seen him somewhere."
If one person had this feeling, it might be an illusion, but it was unlikely for two people. He always felt that it was someone very important, and even completely ignored Gu Qinghan, who was following behind Xiao Yan and had an outstanding appearance.
Where have you seen him?
The two of them frowned as they thought. After a while, they suddenly thought of something and looked at each other, their gazes simultaneously turning to the statue standing in the square in the distance.
The evil leader, Xiao Yan!
"Hurry, hurry, hurry! Go and notify Secretary Yuhe!"
One of the receptionists quickly waved and greeted them, and the other one nodded, and was about to turn around and leave when he was suddenly called again.
"Wait!" The receptionist came to him with a serious face and said in a deep voice: "Find a signature board and help me get a signature!"
"."
The camera turned and Xiao Yan entered the auction house. Looking at the huge crowd in the hall which had nearly doubled in size compared to before, Xiao Yan couldn't help but sigh. The Eight Gates had developed rapidly in the past few years, which was visibly achieved with the naked eye.
Gu Qinghan also glanced around the hall with some surprise. He had seen many magnificent auction houses in Zhongzhou over the past few years with Xiao Yan, but he did not expect that the auction house in Northwest Continent could be so luxurious. It could already be compared with some mid-level auction houses in Zhongzhou.
“Robbery!!!”
Suddenly, a sharp shout was heard in the hall. Xiao Yan and Gu Qinghan frowned and looked in the direction of the sound. They saw a man flying up from the crowd, spreading his wings of fighting spirit and rushing out of the auction house. In his hand, he was holding a bag that obviously did not belong to him.
Six-star Douhuang strength???
Xiao Yan's face was full of confusion. Have the bandits in the Black Horn Region evolved to this point? Even six-star Dou Huangs came to rob?
Just as Xiao Yan was thinking this, two security guards from the Black Horn Region soon appeared. Both of them were at the peak Dou Wang level. They stood above the entrance of the auction house in an attempt to stop the Dou Huang robber from escaping.
Obviously, he was no match for this six-star Douhuang-level bandit.
"Go away!"
The Douhuang robber yelled angrily and waved his hand suddenly to shake off the two Douwang security guards. Then he increased his speed and successfully escaped from the auction house in the next second, running away with the stolen goods, with a very excited expression on his face.
However, at this moment, the body of this Douhuang bandit suddenly froze in mid-air. This scene startled everyone. Even the two security guards who had just stood up and were about to chase him were stunned where they were, as if they didn't understand why this Douhuang bandit suddenly stopped. Did he have a change of heart?
The most shocked person was the imprisoned Douhuang bandit, with beads of sweat on his forehead and his heart beating violently.
Douhuang Bandit himself knew best that he did not want to stop, but was being controlled by another powerful person who was far stronger than him!
"As a powerful Douhuang, you actually committed such a robbery. Don't you feel ashamed?"
Xiao Yan slowly walked out of the crowd, looked up at the Douhuang bandit who was imprisoned in mid-air by him using the power of space, and scolded him, but in fact, Xiao Yan did not feel much anger in his heart.
Compared to the unscrupulous things he had seen over the years, robbery was a small problem. Xiao Yan's inner threshold of disgust for evil had been unconsciously raised long ago.
Besides, this is the Black Horn Region.
In the lawless area where murder, robbery, rape and looting were rampant, there would be a few random corpses in the alleys every day. In comparison, from the behavior of the Douhuang bandit just now, it can be seen that he just wanted to rob and had no intention of hurting anyone. Whether it was that he still had good intentions or the current order of the Black Horn Region made him dare not hurt anyone, it showed that the Black Horn Region was very different from before. In this regard, Xiao Yan was actually quite happy.
Xiao Yan gently hooked his fingers and hooked the bag from the Douhuang bandit's hand, then turned around and handed it to a woman who was running over, smiling slightly.
"Miss, please be safe next time."
"Thank you! Thank you!" The woman bowed her head repeatedly while holding her bag. "I didn't expect someone would steal something here. I couldn't bear to buy a ring, and all my belongings are in it. Thank you so much!"
"You're welcome. It's just a piece of cake." Xiao Yan chuckled and waved his hand. At this time, the two security guards also came back to their senses. Xiao Yan controlled the Dou Huang strongman to come back, raised his hand and picked him up by the collar and handed him to the two men.
"I have sealed his fighting spirit for now. Let's follow the rules of the Black Horn Region."
"Thank you very much for your help, sir!"
The two of them looked overjoyed, clasped their fists to express their sincere gratitude towards Xiao Yan, and then took out a special rope to tie up the unwilling Douhuang bandit. In order to prevent his escape, Xiao Yan and Gu Qinghan followed them to the detention room and notified the law enforcement department of the Black Horn Region. While waiting, Xiao Yan glanced at the Douhuang bandit and asked softly.
"May I ask how common this situation is in the Black Horn Region now?"
"Not occasionally, really." One of them tied the rope, and the other one answered, "The situation in the northwest continent has changed a lot in the past few years. Many powerful people without territories have come to the Black Horn Region to seek a living, but many of them were used to living a lavish life in the past. They don't like the income of many jobs in the Black Horn Region, so they rob and steal."
"However, due to the strict laws set by Leader Yaoye, these criminals dare not hurt anyone even if they rob or steal. Some of them may hurt innocent people unintentionally, but basically no one dares to hurt anyone intentionally."
Xiao Yan nodded in understanding. It seemed that the night shift was quite good.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yan felt a little guilty. At that time, he just wanted to ask Yao Ye to help take care of the business, but he didn't expect that he would be in charge for so many years.
Then Xiao Yan glanced at the Douhuang bandit who had been tied up tightly, and looked at the two security guards.
"I may be a little rude when I say this, please forgive me. Are you two the only guards in the auction house?"
The Black Seal City Auction House is the largest auction house in the Black Horn Region. How could it have only two Dou Wang-level security guards? Not to mention that their strength is a bit too low, the number of people is far from enough, right?
The two of them naturally understood what Xiao Yan meant, but because of Xiao Yan's kind attitude, they did not feel embarrassed and started to explain.
"Recently, a group of fierce bandits appeared in the northwest continent. They are all powerful people who gathered together because they have no place to belong. They have set their eyes on the prosperous Black Horn Region and have sent people to harass here many times. Recently, it has become more frequent. Sect Master Yuan Yi has transferred the main personnel to help Chief Yao Ye guard against them." One of them glared at the tied-up Dou Huang strongman with some resentment, "Because almost no one dares to commit crimes in the auction house, there are only two of us left here. This guy is really brave."
"Is that so?" Xiao Yan pinched his chin lightly, then reacted and raised his head to ask, "Does that mean that Leader Yuan Yi is not at the auction house now?"
"Well, Chief Yuan Yi is personally leading people to guard the border of the Black Horn Region. He hasn't returned for half a month."
Hearing this, Xiao Yan raised his hand and scratched the side of his face. He came here specifically to discuss something with Yuan Yi, but he didn't expect it to be such an unfortunate coincidence.
"Leader Xiao Yan!"
Suddenly, the door of the detention room was pushed open, and a slim and quietly dressed female staff member appeared in the sight of Xiao Yan and others. Behind her was one of the receptionists that Xiao Yan had seen at the door.
When the female employee saw Xiao Yan, her pretty face was instantly filled with excitement. She came up to him in her high heels, excitedly holding Xiao Yan's hands and swinging them up and down.
"Chief Xiao Yan! It is such a great honor to meet you in person! I am Yu He, the secretary of Sect Master Yuan Yi. I am really sorry that I couldn't receive you right away!"
Xiao Yan?
The two security guards who had just been chatting with Xiao Yan were stunned for a long time when they heard this name. Why did this name sound so familiar?
Then the next second, the two finally reacted and looked at Xiao Yan in shock with a helpless smile on his face.
Xiao Yan? The Xiao Yan who founded the Evil Prison and unified the Black Horn Region? Is he this man with a gentle face and a kind attitude? !
To be honest, because he was able to unify the Black Horn Region, in their subconscious minds they thought of Xiao Yan as the type with a sturdy physique. Now, taking a closer look, it seems that he does look a lot like the statue in the square of Black Seal City!
The Douhuang bandit who was tied up and had a look of resentment in his eyes also looked at Xiao Yan in shock, and then he felt endlessly aggrieved in his heart.
Although no one has ever met Xiao Yan, his deeds in the Black Horn Region are well-known. There is even reliable information that Xiao Yan has now established a super alliance in Zhongzhou, which almost encompasses all the forces in Zhongzhou. It is conceivable how terrifying Xiao Yan's current status is.
No? I just came here to grab some things while Yuan Yi was away, how did I run into this gentleman?
Thinking of this, the Douhuang bandit was completely discouraged. He had originally thought that since Yuan Yi was not around, he would find a chance to escape after Xiao Yan left.
Why are you still running away in this situation? Just surrender.
Xiao Yan unplugged his hand from the female employee Yu He's without leaving a trace and spoke softly.
"Miss Yuhe, there is no need to feel so sorry. I am no longer the leader of the Black Horn Region. I am just an ordinary tourist in the Black Horn Region. You don't need to be so respectful."
“How can this be possible?!” Xiao Yan had just finished speaking when Yu He suddenly realized something. “Master Yuan Yi has always said that without you, there would be no Black Horn Region today! It’s a rare opportunity for you to come back. How can we express our gratitude and admiration for you if we don’t kowtow to you and welcome you back?”
“No, this is really too much.”
Xiao Yan's face was full of black lines, and he secretly wondered in his heart how exactly is he promoting himself? Does he think of himself as a god?
"Miss Yuhe, please calm down. I came here mainly to meet Sect Leader Yuan Yi and discuss something with him." Xiao Yan raised his hand and said softly, "But I didn't expect it to be such an unfortunate coincidence that Sect Leader Yuan Yi is currently guarding the border of the Black Horn Region. In that case, I will come back in two days. Anyway, my business is not urgent."
"How can that be?!" Yu He interrupted Xiao Yan again, her eyes extremely excited, "If Sect Master Yuan Yi knew that I asked you to wait, I would definitely be held accountable! Please wait a moment, I will contact Sect Master Yuan Yi immediately and ask him to come back!"
After saying that, Yu He took out a communication token. Xiao Yan and Gu Qinghan were both stunned when they saw the token. They recognized at a glance that this was the kind of communication token that could only be crushed in extremely urgent and critical moments. Its value was extremely high. At least according to the size of the Black Horn Domain, a token would cost tens of millions.
"Don't"
When Xiao Yan reacted, he wanted to stop it immediately, but Yu He had already crushed the communication token, leaving him no chance to stop it. Xiao Yan's brows trembled uncontrollably, and he raised his hands to cover his face helplessly.
He really didn't want to disturb Yuan Yi from doing her work. Who could have expected that this young lady would be so quick.
While Xiao Yan was speechless, Gu Qinghan on the side was looking at Xiao Yan with eyes full of astonishment.
How much do you admire in the Black Horn Region? You crushed this extremely urgent communication token without hesitation?
Although Xiao Yan was respected by many people in the Tianhe Alliance, they would never be worshipped to this extent.
"Please move to the VIP room, Chief Xiao Yan. We apologize for neglecting you. We hope you can give us a chance to serve you!"
Yu He bowed deeply to Xiao Yan, and Xiao Yan had always been the kind of person who would rather be soft-hearted than hard-hearted. Although she was extremely reluctant in her heart, she was too embarrassed to refuse since the other party had already made such an attitude. After a long time, she sighed deeply.
"Then thank you for your help." (End of this chapter)
