Settled home.
In an ordinary courtyard in the outer yard, a pretty woman was sitting, hugging her legs and staring at the sky in a daze.
"Miss, when will you be back?"
Xiao Kui looked nostalgic. Ever since An Ruoxuan went to the Black Gold Territory, she had rarely returned to the An family.
An Ruoxuan's status in the An family was not high to begin with, so naturally she was often bullied in the An family.
Without the young lady in the An family, she was often bullied these days.
Just then, footsteps were heard outside the yard.
Their yard is located in a corner, and there are almost no people coming here on weekdays. Usually only the people who live here come here.
Xiao Kui suddenly realized what was happening. She quickly stood up and said with a look of great surprise:
"Miss, is that you?"
She ran towards the door with great excitement, happily greeting him.
But when he reached the door, he only saw An Hefeng. He had a gloomy expression and was accompanied by the An family's law enforcement elder.
Xiao Kui was startled. She looked towards An Hefeng in panic.
"Greetings, Second Young Master!"
An Hefeng's face was gloomy. He said calmly, "Xiao Kui, three hundred intermediate-level immortal crystals were lost from the outer courtyard yesterday. You stole them, didn't you?"
ah?
Xiao Kui was stunned. She asked bewilderedly, "Second Young Master, what do you mean? How could I have the guts to steal immortal crystals?"
An Hefeng didn't say anything. He looked at the person behind him, and the person next to him immediately walked into the yard.
Looking at their posture, Xiao Kui was already scared out of her wits and didn't dare to stop them.
After a while, the man came out with a big bag, and poured it out in front of Xiaokui. Inside the bag were crystal clear fairy crystals.
Xiao Kui's eyes widened immediately, her face full of panic:
"How is this possible? How could there be these immortal crystals in the yard? Second Young Master, this must be a misunderstanding. Xiao Kui didn't steal the immortal crystals."
She had lived in the An family since she was a child and had never experienced any intrigue, so naturally she didn't understand that An Hefeng came to her house today just to frame her.
An Hefeng smiled coldly, then shouted:
"presumptuous!"
"A lowly servant, to commit such a crime of embezzlement, must be severely punished. Take him away from me."
The person behind him immediately stepped forward, restrained Xiao Kui, and then walked away.
With Xiao Kui, he didn't worry about An Ruoxuan not speaking up.
Xiao Kui's anxious tears kept flowing out. She kept begging, "Second Young Master, this is really a misunderstanding. Xiao Kui really didn't steal the immortal crystals. I have been in the An family for so many years and have always behaved well. I would never do such a thing."
The cries and shouts continued to be heard, and wherever they passed, many people would stick their heads out to check.
"No, what did Xiao Kui do to make the Second Young Master personally take action?"
"From what I heard, it seems that Xiao Kui stole the immortal crystal, so the second young master came all the way here to punish her."
"Stealing immortal crystals, haha! I'm dying of laughter. How dare a coward like Xiao Kui do such a thing? Normally, even an ordinary mouse would scare her to death."
As soon as these words were spoken, the person who spoke suddenly closed his mouth and looked at the people around him, with a look of fear on his face.
Isn’t it because of stealing the immortal crystal?
Although the specific reason is unclear, it is most likely not because of the fairy crystal, but because of other things.
Even if Xiao Kui really stole the fairy crystal, it would not be the second young master's turn to appear in person. You have to know that he is the direct descendant of the An family.
And what about Xiaokui?
She was just a servant in the An family.
Later, An Hefeng felt that Xiaokui was too noisy, so he simply sealed her mouth.
So they arrived at the headquarters of the Treasure Hunting Chamber of Commerce. In order to avoid being seen, An Hefeng entered directly through the back door.
But just as he entered the Treasure Hunting Chamber of Commerce, a figure stood in front of him.
When An Hefeng saw the person coming, his pupils suddenly contracted. He quickly bowed and saluted: "Greetings, Great Elder!"
The person in front slowly turned around, with his hands behind his back, looking intimidating without even getting angry, his eyes like torches, and his whole body giving off an oppressive aura.
This person is the An family’s great elder, An Changtian.
He is also the most powerful person in the An family except for the head of the family, with the cultivation level of the late Immortal King.
An Changtian looked towards An Hefeng and said calmly, "Let him go."
His tone was unquestionable. He didn't ask why An Hefeng did this, and he didn't care about it at all.
An Hefeng clenched his fists and lowered his head with a gloomy look.
hateful!
Why is the Great Elder here?
Seeing that An Hefeng did not take any action, the elder frowned:
"Are the words of this elder not clear enough?"
As soon as he finished speaking, an extremely terrifying pressure instantly enveloped him, and An Hefeng's body instantly collapsed to the ground, pressed to the ground like a dead dog.
The guardian elder beside An Hefeng had already been frightened to death. He immediately knelt on the ground, trembling all over.
An Hefeng also reacted immediately, and he quickly said:
"Great Elder, please forgive me. I've been too busy these past few days and was a little distracted. Xiao Kui is just a small servant of the An family. The mistakes she made are not serious. Since the Great Elder has ordered me to do so, I will release her immediately."
Although he didn't know why the Great Elder came here, An Hefeng still had a bad feeling in his heart.
The Great Elder seemed to have come specifically for him!
The Great Elder looked down with an indifferent expression and smiled coldly: "It is of no use."
An Hefeng's expression froze, and his eyes grew darker, but he still smiled and said, "The Great Elder is right."
Looking at his flattering expression, the Great Elder shook his head again, his expression becoming more and more disdainful:
"The only one who would be interested in someone like you is the Third Elder."
"An Hefeng, do you know why this elder is willing to step down and support someone whose cultivation level is not as good as yours and whose business talent is not as good as the third elder's?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the law enforcement elders behind An Hefeng wanted to cut off their ears. I couldn't bear to hear such words, could I?
It's going to kill someone!
An Hefeng clenched his fists and raised his head with difficulty. He looked at the elder with a playful expression, his face full of reluctance:
"I don't know."
He really couldn't understand. The eldest brother was not as talented as himself, and was not as good as the third brother in business. If that was the case, why would the powerful elder choose to support the eldest brother.
This is totally illogical.
He has the strongest talent and it won't take long for him to break through to the Immortal King. What will An Wushuang use to compete with him then?
Before this clan competition, An Hefeng had never thought that the Great Elder would participate in the clan competition, because his strength and status were too high. Even if he did not participate in these disputes, no one in the entire An family dared to do anything to him.
He is not like the others. If he does not take sides, he will definitely be liquidated later.
The Great Elder sneered and said, "It's not because you are useless, but because An Wushuang has a promising future and is worthy of this elder's investment."
