As Mo Yu's gaze lingered on the enchanting figure walking ahead, he quickly followed, all while being watched intently by the fiery stares of those in the hall. 

Ya Fei silently led the way, her graceful figure swaying, guiding the two of them toward a stairway guarded by several men. 

Seeing Mo Yu following behind Ya Fei, the guards exchanged glances. According to the rules, outsiders were generally not permitted to enter. However, ever since Ya Fei had gained the favor of the family's higher-ups a few days ago, her role as the acting manager came with significant authority. None of the guards dared to obstruct her now. 

After climbing the stairs and navigating through a few corridors, they arrived at a room. 

Pushing open the door revealed a spacious room lined with bookshelves filled with thick books. 

Ya Fei moved through the shelves and finally stopped in front of a desk. She turned around with a smile and gestured toward a nearby chair, saying with a grin, "Have a seat. Now, can you tell me what this is all about?" 

"The Mite-er Auction House is the top auction house in the Jia Ma Empire. Whatever you're looking for, there's a chance we might have it." 

Hearing this, Mo Yu nodded. He had come here precisely because of the Mite-er family's vast network. 

"Ya Fei, could you help me check if there's anything in the auction house that can restore bloodline power?" 

"Restore bloodline power?" Ya Fei was momentarily stunned. She frowned and said, "That kind of thing is an extremely rare treasure, only useful for those with special constitutions... But I can check." 

With that, she stepped behind a bookshelf, searched for a moment, and finally returned with a thick book in her arms. After flipping through it for a while, she shook her head regretfully, saying, "Sorry, treasures that can restore bloodline power are too rare. I checked our auction house's inventory for the past year, but we haven't acquired anything like that." 

Disappointment flashed in Mo Yu's silver eyes, though his expression remained calm. His slender fingers tapped the desk as he sat back in his chair, somewhat dejected. 

Seeing Mo Yu's silent demeanor, Ya Fei shook her head helplessly, though she couldn't do more to help. 

After a moment, a thought seemed to cross Ya Fei's mind, and she spoke up, "Mo Yu, do you really need such a treasure?" 

"Yes, I really do." Mo Yu nodded, his gaze fixed on Ya Fei. In a soft voice, he said, "Does the auction house have one? If you can provide it, I'm willing to pay a satisfactory price." 

"Items that can restore bloodline power are extremely rare. Even with the vast trading volume of our Mite-er Auction House, we hardly ever come across such treasures," Ya Fei said, shaking her head in frustration. 

"Is there another way?" Mo Yu pressed. 

"Our auction house doesn't have such a treasure, but the Alchemist Grand Meeting in Jia Ma Sacred City is about to begin. As one of the most renowned auction houses in the surrounding empires, we are excellent at gathering information. If any of the alchemists arriving from across the empire—or even from other empires—possess a treasure that can restore bloodline power, I will inform you immediately." 

At that, Mo Yu's eyes lit up, and he nodded in agreement. 

He was already considering how to approach these alchemists to find out if they had such a treasure. With the Mite-er family's intelligence network backing him up, it was certainly a great advantage. 

As for whether he had the bargaining chips, Mo Yu wasn't too concerned. He possessed many valuable treasures. If things didn't go well, Mo Yu wasn't one to be stubborn. Though he wouldn't resort to murder or arson, he wasn't opposed to more forceful exchanges. 

Thinking this, Mo Yu expressed his gratitude to the alluring woman before him, saying, "Thank you, Ya Fei." 

Hearing Mo Yu call her "Ya Fei" without the usual "sister" honorific, a slight blush crept across her charming face. As if thinking of something, the redness deepened, and she softly spoke again. 

"Mo Yu, I also have a favor to ask. Do you have time?" 

"Oh? What kind of favor? But since you're asking, Ya Fei, I definitely won't refuse," Mo Yu chuckled. 

Seeing his smile, Ya Fei's face flushed again. She shyly murmured, "It's nothing difficult. The Nalan family is hosting a gathering tonight, and I was hoping you could accompany me. Is that alright?" 

Mo Yu was momentarily taken aback and curiously asked, "Attend a gathering? That can't be all, right? What do you need me for, Ya Fei?" 

Realizing Mo Yu's perceptiveness, Ya Fei no longer hid the truth. Biting her lip lightly, she whispered, "The gathering is for the older generation of powerhouses from the younger elite families of the Jia Ma Empire. A rather annoying person will also be there." 

"And who might that be?" Mo Yu rubbed his chin. 

"Mu Zhan!" Ya Fei said with a hint of frustration. 

"Mu Zhan, from the Mu family, one of the three great families. He's quite a troublesome madman. I don't know what he sees in me, but despite the many beautiful noblewomen in the empire, he just won't stop pestering me. I even went to Wu Tan City partly to avoid him," Ya Fei explained with a helpless smile. 

Hearing this, Mo Yu chuckled and gently brushed the hair away from Ya Fei's forehead, saying, "Ya Fei, your beauty is well-known throughout the imperial capital. It's no surprise that Mu Zhan has an eye for you." 

Feeling the warmth of his touch and hearing the sincere compliment, Ya Fei's heart started racing, even though she had long grown tired of empty praises. For some reason, this young man in front of her made her feel something different. 

With a gentle smile, Mo Yu withdrew his hand and said, "Don't worry. I'll go with you to the gathering tonight. As for Mu Zhan, I'll make sure he won't dare to bother you again." 

"You… be careful. When Mu Zhan left the capital, he was already a three-star Dou Shi, and after two years of training at the imperial border, his strength has likely reached the peak of Dou Shi," Ya Fei gently reminded him, feeling a warm sensation in her heart from his quick acceptance of her request. 

Mo Yu confidently smiled, "A peak Dou Shi? Don't worry, I don't even put the Mu family in my eyes. A mere Mu Zhan is no match for me." 

Hearing Mo Yu's words, Ya Fei recalled the boy's terrifying battle achievements from over a year ago and felt a little more at ease. She nodded and said, "Alright, as long as you can teach Mu Zhan a lesson, the Mu family won't interfere in matters between younger generations." 

Mo Yu nodded in agreement, though he didn't tell Ya Fei that even the Mu family wasn't a concern for him. In a few short years, even without the help of She Lao, he would become a Dou Wang himself. 

After chatting a bit longer with Ya Fei, as the sun began to set, Ya Fei excused herself and left to change in another room. 

Mo Yu, now alone, casually wandered around the study, sipping tea and enjoying the quiet moments. 

However, the peace didn't last long. Before too long, a woman in a red, form-fitting qipao with a graceful figure walked into the room. 

It was Ya Fei, now draped in a snow-white fox fur shawl, adding a touch of elegance. If she had been enchanting before, now she exuded a sense of nobility. 

"Heh, it seems my noble princess has finally arrived," Mo Yu teased. 

Hearing Mo Yu's compliment, Ya Fei pursed her lips and smiled. "Don't be silly. There's a real imperial princess attending this gathering. Don't let her steal your heart." 

"Haha, no imperial princess could outshine your beauty, Ya Fei. I'm sure you'll be the most dazzling tonight," Mo Yu said with a laugh. 

"Hehe, well, thank you for your kind words, Mo Yu," Ya Fei replied with a playful smile. 

After getting ready, Ya Fei shed her earlier shyness, gracefully holding Mo Yu's arm as they left the Mite-er Auction House and headed toward the Nalan family residence. 

As they walked through the streets, Ya Fei's stunning beauty naturally attracted countless envious stares from men. However, when they saw Mo Yu beside her, their gazes filled with jealousy and bitterness. 

Mo Yu, although indifferent to these looks, acted on a whim for a small revenge. He casually wrapped his arm around Ya Fei's slender waist. 

Surprised by the sudden contact, Ya Fei let out a soft gasp, her face flushing a lovely shade of pink. Yet, instead of resisting, she slowly leaned into the young man's embrace. 

It wasn't until they approached the gates of the Nalan family that Mo Yu reluctantly let go, the warmth of her waist lingering in his palm. 

Ya Fei's reputation in the imperial capital was not insignificant. The guards and servants of the Nalan family, upon seeing her, didn't stop her. Instead, they respectfully bowed as they passed. 

As for Mo Yu, they had never seen him before and simply assumed he was Ya Fei's companion. 

By this time, the sky had darkened, but the Nalan estate remained brightly lit, bustling with people moving about, making the place feel like a marketplace. 

Ya Fei, familiar with the estate, led Mo Yu through several small paths until they reached the spacious main hall of the Nalan family. As they approached, the sound of lively chatter and music drifted from within. 

Walking closer, Mo Yu glanced inside. The grand hall was filled with people, all engaged in conversation, laughter, and merriment, giving off a celebratory atmosphere. 

"Looks like we arrived just in time," Mo Yu smiled softly as he observed the lively scene. 

At that moment, a gentle voice suddenly called out from the side, "Sister Ya Fei, you're here." 

The ethereal voice came from behind, and Mo Yu turned his head to see a delicate beauty standing by a pillar. 

"It's her…" 

The young beauty standing by the pillar was none other than Nalan Yanran, the cherished jewel of the Nalan family. She stood gracefully, her exquisite face adorned with a gentle smile. 

Dressed in the cloud-white robe exclusive to Yun Lan Sect disciples, her slender and graceful figure was subtly accentuated. In comparison, her physique was no less impressive than Ya Fei's, though their auras were vastly different. 

"Oh? And who might this be?" 

When Mo Yu and Ya Fei turned around, Nalan Yanran's gaze shifted from Ya Fei to the distinctive presence of Mo Yu. 

The boy had changed significantly from the last time she saw him over a year ago, especially his silver eyes. While Nalan Yanran found him familiar, she couldn't immediately place him. 

"Hehe, this is Mo Yu, a good friend of mine. Yanran, I brought him to attend this gathering. The Nalan family wouldn't refuse, right?" 

Ya Fei, who had once again linked arms with Mo Yu, smiled sweetly as she introduced him. 

Nalan Yanran didn't pay much mind to Ya Fei's intimate gesture. However, when she heard the name "Mo Yu," her expression shifted slightly. Memories of what happened in Yan City flooded her mind, especially the scene of Mo Yu annihilating the Mo family. That image of a domineering young man began to overlap with the one before her. 

"You're Mo Yu… Why are you here?" 

Recalling how Mo Yu had wiped out the Mo family in Yan City, Nalan Yanran took a deep breath. Was he here to destroy the Nalan family during this gathering as well? While the Nalan family was far stronger than the Mo family, who could predict the actions of someone as fearsome as him? 

"Miss Nalan, please relax. I'm merely here to accompany Sister Ya Fei to the gathering. There's no need for concern," Mo Yu chuckled, seemingly reading her thoughts. 

Upon hearing this, Nalan Yanran hesitated for a moment before finally exhaling and choosing to trust him. 

After all, they were in the imperial capital, and the Nalan family had the backing of Yun Lan Sect. Who would dare provoke them? 

However, when she noticed Ya Fei tightly holding onto Mo Yu's arm, a complex expression flickered across her face. 

If her suspicions were correct, this young man had some unclear ties with her teacher. Yet here he was, with another stunning woman clinging to him. This made her feel slightly uneasy. 

"Hehe, Yanran, there are quite a few people waiting for you inside. And here you are, casually chatting," a man's voice interrupted them. 

The voice belonged to a young man dressed in the robes of an alchemist. He appeared to be in his mid-twenties, tall and handsome, his sharp features carrying a hint of softness that could easily captivate women. Though his looks couldn't quite compare to Mo Yu's, he was still considered very attractive. 

"That's Liu Ling, the disciple of Pill King Gu He, a third-grade alchemist, and Nalan Yanran's suitor," Ya Fei whispered softly to Mo Yu. 

Upon hearing this, Mo Yu glanced at the newcomer and nodded indifferently. He had no romantic interest in Nalan Yanran, so he didn't care who pursued her. 

However, the slight coldness in Liu Ling's gaze towards him made Mo Yu frown. Despite not understanding it, a feeling of aversion towards this man began to grow. 

Just then, a figure clad in black, with an ordinary appearance but an aura that made him stand out from the crowd, suddenly walked in. 

The lively atmosphere seemed to irritate the black-clad boy, who furrowed his brows slightly. As he prepared to leave, his peripheral vision caught sight of Mo Yu, and his steps momentarily faltered. His previously calm eyes rippled with surprise. 

It was clear that the black-clad youth was pleasantly surprised by Mo Yu's presence. 

Mo Yu also noticed the commotion, and his gaze shifted toward the figure. When he saw the face of the unfamiliar yet familiar youth, his eyebrows raised slightly, and a faint smile played on his lips. In a voice too low for anyone to hear, he murmured: 

"Xiao Yan, my dear cousin, you're here too…"
