Chapter 10: Saying One Thing, Meaning Another; Ya Fei's Shock
"Who?"
A hint of confusion flashed across Su Yun's face, as if he was hearing Mittel Tengshan's name for the first time.
If it were anyone else, they might have thought Su Yun was making fun of him.
But before Mittel Tengshan arrived, he had already gained some preliminary intelligence on Su Yun, knowing that this Dou Huang expert truly didn't know who he was.
Mittel Tengshan spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Please allow me to explain.
In this Gama Empire, besides the top forces with Dou Huang experts like the Imperial Family, Yun Lan Sect, and Alchemist Guild, there are also the Three Great Families.
The Three Great Families don't have Dou Huangs, but they do have Dou Wang experts overseeing them, making them first-class forces.
And the Mittel Family is one of the Three Great Families."
Su Yun suddenly understood: "It seems you are the Dou Wang of the Mittel Family."
"That's right."
"Why are you looking for me?"
Mittel Tengshan cupped his hands and said: "You have just arrived in this world and should not yet have a place to reside.
I have come this time to invite you to stay at the Mittel Family for a period of time.
Putting everything else aside, in terms of accommodation, in the Gama Empire, apart from the Imperial Family, no one can make you more comfortable than our Mittel Family.
Even the Yun Lan Sect cannot compare to us!"
In this regard, Mittel Tengshan was quite confident; the Yun Lan Sect was built on a mountain, requiring its Disciples to cultivate diligently, and in terms of luxury and enjoyment, it simply couldn't compare to the Mittel Family.
"Oh?"
Su Yun seemed to have his interest piqued, and he turned to look at Little Fairy Doctor.
"Xian'er, is what he says true?"
Little Fairy Doctor thought for a moment and said: "Yes, Teacher.
The Mittel Family is the wealthiest Family in the Gama Empire, and slightly larger cities all have auction houses established by them.
Although I have always stayed in Qingshan Town, I have also heard of the Mittel Auction House's reputation." Teacher!
Mittel Tengshan's eyebrows twitched; according to the information he knew, this white-robed Dou Huang was an expert who had slept for a thousand years until now.
After a thousand years of trials and tribulations, Su Yun's connections on the continent should have all been severed, and even if he had Disciples, they should have died long ago.
Mittel Tengshan originally thought that Little Fairy Doctor was a maid Su Yun had casually taken in after his revival, to manage his daily life and attend to his physiological needs.
He didn't expect her to be a Disciple!
Mittel Tengshan silently committed this information to memory; to be able to be taken in by an expert who had slept for a thousand years, so soon after his awakening, this woman must have other extraordinary qualities besides her appearance...
"No reward without merit."
Su Yun's expression was a half-smile: "What are your intentions in inviting me to be a guest at your Family?"
As Su Yun's words fell, Mittel Tengshan could feel the invisible pressure intensify greatly, and his back involuntarily bent down.
"I dare not hope for you to do anything for the Mittel Family, and even during your stay, the entire Mittel Family will obey your commands.
"The Mittel Family's business spans the entire Empire; whatever resources you desire, as long as they exist in the Gama Empire, I can find ninety-nine percent of them for you!
"Your willingness to reside here is the greatest help to us!"
Cold sweat broke out on Mittel Tengshan's forehead.
Su Yun sneered: "You are more honest than that old fellow... In this backwater, a Dou Huang is a supreme existence.
"I defeated him just now, and then I move into your Family; even if I do nothing, the benefits of that alone will be enough for you, won't they?"
"Nothing can be hidden from Senior."
"I hate nothing more than being lied to in my life."
A cold glint flashed in Su Yun's eyes; he was the only one who could deceive others!
"Then, may I ask..."
Mittel Tengshan probed.
"Lead the way."
Mittel Tengshan was overjoyed.
"Senior, please!"
The Mittel Family's mansion was, as Mittel Tengshan had said, a top-tier residence in the Imperial Capital.
The room doors were carved from sandalwood, emitting a faint fragrance; the velvet-carpeted floor was so soft it almost made one sink in; light, cloud-like mermaid silk curtains hung over the four-poster bed, and the goose-down bedding was so fluffy it seemed capable of supporting the entire body.
Within the mansion were thirty maids dressed in unified light purple gauze skirts, each performing their duties, sweeping the floor, carrying fruit platters, lighting incense... and even satisfying special needs when necessary...
"Is Senior satisfied?"
Mittel Tengshan was afraid that Su Yun would feel neglected and leave without a word.
"Average, barely habitable."
Su Yun's face was expressionless.
In reality, Su Yun was just an ordinary person in his previous life, having never seen such a display; everything before him was the epitome of luxury, almost dazzling his eyes.
[Ding.]
[Your lie made Mittel Tengshan believe it, judged as saying one thing, meaning another, gaining 100 Realization Points.]
[Remaining Realization Points: 110804]
"As long as Senior is satisfied."
Mittel Tengshan's expression relaxed, knowing that this matter was accomplished.
"Oh, right, Senior, I have arranged a housekeeper for you."
He clapped his hands, and a charming and seductive woman in a red dress walked into the mansion; she curtsied gracefully to Su Yun.
"Greetings, Senior."
"She is Ya Fei; you can tell her anything you need, and she will do her best to satisfy Senior."
Ya Fei's expression was complex; she had achieved excellent returns for the Family in Wutan City, and only recently was she transferred back to the Imperial Capital as she wished, only to receive this assignment.
"Good."
A look of surprise and unexpected admiration flashed in Su Yun's eyes, then quickly faded.
Mittel Tengshan cupped his hands and excused himself, leaving Ya Fei alone to face Su Yun.
Su Yun said to Little Fairy Doctor: "You go pick a room."
"Thank you, Teacher!"
Little Fairy Doctor, holding the small Purple Crystal Lion, happily ran off; she had never seen such a beautiful house either.
The master bedroom was naturally Su Yun's; there were many empty bedrooms in the mansion, enough for her to choose from.
"Are you highly trusted by Mittel Tengshan?"
Su Yun said indifferently.
Ya Fei was a little uneasy: "Ya Fei will do her utmost to be Senior's housekeeper and not disappoint the Family Head's expectations."
"Coincidentally, I have something I need you to do."
Ya Fei straightened her posture: "Please instruct, Senior."
Su Yun had her bring paper and pen, wrote something on the white paper, and then handed it to Ya Fei.
"Have the Mittel Family find the things on this for me."
Su Yun clasped his hands behind his back; he was going to enjoy the luxurious mansion.
"Yes."
Ya Fei looked at the items written on the paper.
Most were various poisons and poisonous herbs; considering that this Senior was a poison-attributed Dou Huang, it wasn't strange for him to want these things.
However, there were also some precious medicinal ingredients mixed in, such as Nine-Core Flower, Sky Red Lotus Leaf, Jade Dragon Blood Ginseng...
"These medicinal ingredient names, I seem to have seen them somewhere."
Ya Fei's brows furrowed, and she stood there deep in thought for a long time, when suddenly a flash of inspiration exploded in her mind!
"Wait, this is!"
Ya Fei's pupils contracted, and her jade fingers unconsciously covered her red lips.
"This matter must be reported to the Family Head first; this is not something I can decide on my own!"
