Chapter 10 Promise

"By the way, I heard that the young lady from the Nalan family who was engaged to you came to you today to cancel the engagement?"

Ya Fei glanced at the list, then put it away and said with concern.

"Well, I made an agreement with her that I would go to the Nalan Mansion to cancel the engagement with her three years later."

Xiao Yuan nodded and said with a smile.

"Oh? I heard that she was aggressive and brought people from the Yunlan Sect with her. Is it really as easy as you said?"

Hearing Xiao Yuan's plain words, curiosity appeared in Ya Fei's eyes. After getting closer to him, she narrowed her eyes and said with a smile.

As Ya Fei approached, a fragrant breeze blew in his face.

But Xiao Yuan was not flustered. He was no longer the young boy who would blush when he saw a mature big sister two years ago.

He had been in contact with Ya Fei for many years, and Ya Fei had teased him a lot. Now this little trick was naturally not taken seriously by Xiao Yuan.

"I'm surprised that Sister Yafei is so well-informed. So, do you not take me seriously? Otherwise, why don't you come to help me out today?"

Xiao Yuan neither retreated nor advanced, but sat there calmly, pretending to be disappointed and asked.

"Of course it's because I believe in brother Xiao Yuan. Based on my understanding of you, a little girl like Nalan Yanran will naturally not be your opponent!"

Seeing this, Yafei moved closer and said softly.

At this time, her nose tip and Xiao Yuan's were almost touching, and Xiao Yuan could even smell the lipstick on Yafei's red lips.

Just as Xiao Yuan was about to speak, Yafei retreated and blinked at Xiao Yuan.

"Sister Yafei knows me so well, why not guess what I said to Nalan Yanran to let her feel relieved and believe that I am a self-aware waste?"

Xiao Yuan looked at Yafei's behavior and knew that she was "retaliating" for his previous ridicule of her, so he asked with a smile.

However, Ya Fei did not immediately follow Xiao Yuan's guess, but frowned slightly and said seriously:

"You are not a waste. Even if you can't practice Dou Qi in this life, I believe you will have great achievements in other aspects. Nalan Yanran's talent for cultivation is indeed not weak, but it's a pity that she is reckless and short-sighted. She will definitely regret the cancellation of the engagement in the future!"

After saying that, Ya Fei found that Xiao Yuan's eyes looking at her were a little strange.

"Then I will take advantage of Sister Ya Fei's good words. In the future, I may put more energy on cultivation, and the market will be handed over to the clan to take care of. After my cultivation is improved, there may be more opportunities to cooperate with Sister Ya Fei."

Xiao Yuan smiled.

"Well, I won't stay in Wutan City for long. In the future, three years later, maybe you and I can meet in the imperial capital."

Ya Fei nodded slightly and responded.

"I think it might be more accurate to remove it. Three years later, if Sister Yafei doesn't mind, I hope Sister Yafei will go to Nalan Mansion with me."

Xiao Yuan looked directly into Yafei's charming eyes and invited her solemnly.

"Ah?"

Yafei was stunned when she heard this. Should this be considered a confession?

"If I say this, Sister Yafei can guess what I said to Nalan Yanran, right?"

Then, she heard Xiao Yuan add.

"Okay, I still have to deal with the market, so I won't bother Sister Yafei anymore. Goodbye."

Xiao Yuan couldn't help but smile when he saw Yafei's confused look. He immediately stood up, poured another cup of tea for Yafei, and then pushed the door open and left.

After a long time, Yafei came back to her senses. Looking at the cold tea on the table, her pretty face blushed.

This kid, is he pushing himself out as a shield?

She picked up the teacup and drank it all.

But it's not bad.

Ya Fei stared at the teacup in front of her with a smile in her eyes, thinking.

Three years later, Xiao Yuan will definitely be a dragon among men.

Three years later, I will never be an auctioneer in a remote town again.

Xiao Family Market.

Xiao Yuan, who returned to the office, skillfully wrote the approval materials.

According to the profit income of the market last year, the market under his jurisdiction will definitely be rated as a high-level market this time.

So, everything that should be prepared should be prepared.

But my father is right, I really have to put the matter of the market aside.

"Come here."

Xiao Yuan shouted in the direction of the door.

"Third Young Master!"

Soon, a waiter pushed the door open.

"Go and find Deputy Market Master Xiao Tong."

Xiao Yuan said as he wrote.

"Yes, Third Young Master."

After a moment, a steady voice sounded at the door.

"Third Young Master, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Xiao Yuan looked up and saw Xiao Tong, who had a beard, waiting at the door.

"Uncle Tong, come in and sit down!"

Xiao Yuan said with a gentle smile.

"Hey."

Xiao Tong smiled immediately after hearing this, walked into the room and sat aside.

"Uncle Tong, from today on, you will have to run most of the things in the market. I will be ready to retire after the market level assessment is completed."

Xiao Yuan stopped writing and looked at the bearded Xiao Tong and said gently.

Xiao Tong was the original owner of the market and a close confidant of Xiao Zhan. When Xiao Yuan entered the market three years ago, he was with Xiao Tong.

Later, Xiao Yuan showed an extremely good talent for management and operation, so Xiao Tong took the initiative to hand over the position of owner to Xiao Yuan.

"Third Young Master?"

Xiao Tong was a little confused. Why did the Third Young Master leave when he was doing well?

"Uncle Tong, I can practice now, so I will focus on practicing Dou Qi in the future. You are also an old hand in the things in the market. My methods are just some tricks. I believe you can do them too."

Xiao Yuan smiled and explained.

"Really? Third Young Master, you can practice?"

Xiao Tong was delighted when he heard this.

Those of them who were under Xiao Yuan often felt sorry for Xiao Tong's inability to practice. Now that they heard such good news, they were really happy for Xiao Yuan.

"Well, I hope Uncle Tong will keep the matter of last night a secret for me."

Xiao Yuan nodded and said softly.

"Well, Master, don't worry. Leave the things in the market to me. You can practice with peace of mind. The coming-of-age ceremony is coming soon. Master, you have to hurry up!"

Xiao Tong stood up and promised solemnly.

"Haha, I naturally trust Uncle Tong. I have written the materials and handed them to Uncle Tong. If there are any difficulties later, come to me."

Xiao Yuan smiled when he saw this, and after explaining the matters at hand, he left the market.

Things have been dealt with almost, and it's time to go home and practice.

One year later, it will be the coming-of-age ceremony.

At least you have to reach the seventh stage of fighting spirit to be qualified.

But Xiao Yuan's goal is to be promoted to a fighter within a year, and he even hopes to have the opportunity to touch the threshold of a fighting master.
