Fights Break Sphere: Rock King's Leisurely Journey into the Mortal World

Chapter 39 It’s difficult to be the head of a family if you are neither deaf nor blind.

"Cough... cough... cough..." Xiao Zhan coughed a few more times.

The coughing sound finally brought Xiao Yan back to his senses.

"Haha, hello, little junior sister. My name is Xiao Yan, and I'm also Master Zhongli's disciple." Xiao Yan laughed and quickly stretched out his right hand, but his left hand unconsciously scratched the back of his head.

"Hello, Senior Brother Xiao Yan, my name is Xiao Yixian, and my mentor is Zhongli." Xiao Yixian also extended her right hand in response to Xiao Yan's handshake. "Since you are my senior brother, you can also call me Xian'er like Master~"

"Okay, Xian'er." Xiao Yan called Xiao Yixian with a silly smile.

"I'm here, senior brother." The little medical fairy jumped in response and threw a coquettish glance at Xiao Yan.

“()Hahahahahahaha.”

At this time, Yao Chen, who was behind Xiao Yan, couldn't hold back his laughter anymore.

Yao Chen laughed heartily, but he started to murmur in his heart:
"Will this little medical fairy make Xiao Yan so angry that he turns his mouth up?"

"Compared to Little Medical Immortal, Xiao Yan's cultivation is obviously too shallow."

"Will Xiao Yan become a bootlicker?"

Various questions were intertwined in his mind, but when he looked at Zhongli, all these questions were cut off, and then he continued to laugh out loud.

"After all, Xiao Yan is also Zhongli's disciple. Even if Xiao Yixian wants to play a trick on Xiao Yan, Zhongli probably won't allow it."

"However... since Xiao Yixian is also Mr. Zhongli's disciple, I'll have to put off giving Xiao Yan the potions I originally intended to give him."

Yao Chen's hearty laughter still echoed in the room. Xiao Yan couldn't stand it anymore and turned around and shouted angrily: "Old man! What are you laughing at!!"

With a loud bang, Xiao Zhan punched Xiao Yan hard on the head. "How dare you talk to your teacher like that? Apologize to your Master Yao now."

……

"Ouch, ouch, ouch! Daddy, it hurts, ouch, ouch, ouch! Don't press it, don't press it, it's swollen, that's the bump that appeared just now!"

While scolding Xiao Yan, Xiao Zhan pressed the bump that had just appeared with his fingers.

"Apologise quickly!"

"Oh my... s ...

"Oh, what did you say? I didn't hear you." Yao Chen said with a hint of sarcasm.

"It seems that this old fellow Yao Chen has to offend this bastard today." Zhongli complained inwardly.

But looking at this pair of old and young master and apprentice in front of me, both of them are funny, I also find it quite interesting.

"I'm sorry, Master! I know I was wrong." Xiao Yan raised his voice a little, and his reluctance became more obvious. "Hahaha, okay, okay, that's enough. I won't tease you anymore. I heard it."

Xiao Zhan stroked his beard gently, nodded slightly, and then turned to Zhongli and said, "Guest Zhongli, Mr. Yaochen, it just so happens that you are both here today. I wonder if you are interested in the upcoming auction?"

"Auction?" Zhongli lowered his brows, lost in thought. He remembered Ningguang had held a similar event before.

"That's right," Xiao Zhan explained enthusiastically. "In a little while, the Gama Empire's renowned Miter Auction will begin in Wutan City. I heard that among the items on auction is the body and soul of a third-tier magical beast, the Flame-winged Blazing Skylark. With the flying combat technique provided by Miss Xiao Yixian, it's very possible to create low-level Xuan-tier flying wings."

"Oh?" Zhongli asked calmly, "Didn't Patriarch Xiao intend to purchase the standard materials required for the fighting skills book—the soul and body of a fifth-tier Black Flame Purple Cloud Eagle? Why did he settle for second best and choose a third-tier beast?"

"Alas, Guest Zhongli, please don't tease me." Xiao Zhan shook his head helplessly and said, "You wouldn't know until you ask, but once you do, you'll be shocked. Let alone purchasing a set of designated fifth-tier magical beasts and their souls, even any fifth-tier magical beast would be enough to cost the Xiao family a fortune. Although I can buy it if I grit my teeth, I can't ignore the daily life and development of the Xiao family just for my son."

"Well, this option is not bad as a temporary solution." Yao Chen stroked his beard lightly and analyzed, "A low-level Xuan-level flying fighting skill can escape quickly enough to shake off a mid-level Dou Ling. And occupying the sky, safety can be guaranteed. Of course, the premise is that we don't encounter a Dou Wang."

"However, I have to thank the Great Elder for all this." Xiao Zhan looked at Xiao Yan and said slowly.

"What does it have to do with him?" Xiao Yan said with disdain.

"Hey, Xiao Yan, your future achievements will surely surpass your father's. You are destined to take over your father's management of the Xiao family. As the saying goes: It is difficult for a person who is neither deaf nor blind to be the head of a family. Sometimes you are too emotional, which is not a good thing for a family head. Your father knows that you are extremely intelligent, so I have to tell you that in the future, you should be ignorant and not confused, which is the right way to be the head of the family."

Xiao Zhan walked slowly to Xiao Yan, patted his shoulder gently, and then said:

"Take the time I learned about Ziyun Yi for example. I suppressed the urge to immediately offer a bounty for the Black Flame Purple Cloud Eagle to powerful forces in neighboring countries. Instead, I met with the three elders to discuss the matter first."

“If it weren’t for the Great Elder’s reminder, the Xiao family might have made a big mistake because of my recklessness.”

"It's just buying something, how big of an impact can it have?" Xiao Yan still disliked the Great Elder and argued casually.

"This is no small matter. A tall tree attracts the wind. The head of a small family is trying to purchase the body and soul of a magical beast with the strength of a human Dou Wang. How could this be possible without a chance encounter? Just like I have no idea about the price of a fifth-level magical beast, it is not something someone of my status can normally afford. Something unusual must be fishy. Sooner or later, someone will follow the clues and bring about my own death!"

"Now, do you still think that your Great Elder is just an old man with ulterior motives?" Xiao Zhan said, looking at Xiao Yan with a smile.

Xiao Yan tilted his head slightly and remained silent. In his heart, he had already agreed with his father's words, but he still spoke with a hint of stubbornness.

Xiao Zhan changed the subject and said to Zhongli and Yaochen with a smile, "Haha, we've strayed a bit from the topic. If Mr. Yaochen and Guest Zhongli could go to the auction together, with your knowledge, you two would definitely be able to find some treasures that others don't know about."

Yao Chen was quite pleased with Xiao Zhan's praise. He nodded complacently, stroking his beard and saying, "Very well, I want to see what this so-called Miter family can come up with that will impress me."

Zhongli also nodded slowly. After all, he was quite interested in such things that were full of surprises and unknowns. After all, one couldn't just wander around the world and do nothing.

"Brother Xiao Yan! Uncle Xiao Zhan! Guest Zhongli! Sister Xian'er..."

Xiao Xun'er's voice came from outside the room. When Yao Chen heard it, he instantly hid in Xiao Yan's storage ring.
