When Mo Yu saw the approaching person with a fiery figure and academy uniform, a familiar image immediately flashed through his mind. 

The granddaughter of the First Elder of the Xiao Clan, Xiao Ning's older sister, Xiao Yu! 

Mo Yu vaguely recalled that they had some interactions when they were younger, but as they grew older, the difference in their statuses caused them to drift apart. 

Looking at her now, she had clearly just returned from Jia Nan Academy. Why would she come to greet him? 

"I'm Mo Yu. You must be Cousin Xiao Yu, right?" Mo Yu sized up the beautiful woman in front of him and spoke calmly. 

As they spoke, Xiao Yu approached with her long, seductive legs. 

As she drew closer, Mo Yu could not help but admire the temptation of her legs. They were long and slender, truly a sight to behold. 

"So, you're the one who defeated my younger brother, the so-called genius of the Xiao Clan who's been rising recently? You and that bastard Xiao Yan are now called the 'Twin Dragons of the Xiao Clan.' I doubt you're anything special." As she approached, Xiao Yu's expression suddenly shifted, a trace of disdain flickering in her eyes. 

When she returned to the clan, she had deliberately inquired about the recent events. Apart from Xiao Yan regaining his talent, Mo Yu had been the most remarkable member of the clan lately. 

As for Xiao Yan, due to some incidents from their childhood, she had always been displeased with him. 

However, regarding Mo Yu, this recently risen genius of the clan, she didn't think much of him at first. As a student of Jia Nan Academy, she had seen many geniuses from various empires and clans. She didn't believe the Xiao Clan could produce anyone truly extraordinary. 

But rumors gradually began to spread that the upper echelons of the clan were considering marrying her off to Mo Yu. 

Upon learning of this, Xiao Yu was furious. As a proud and gifted woman, she wouldn't marry just anyone. 

In her eyes, Mo Yu might be considered a talent in Wu Tan City, but in the Jia Ma Empire, or even the entire Northwestern Continent, he was just ordinary. 

So, she didn't think Mo Yu was worthy of her. 

Her visit today wasn't to greet him, but to make him understand that they belonged to different worlds. 

Seeing the faint disdain on Xiao Yu's beautiful face, Mo Yu was momentarily stunned, unsure of how he had offended her. 

Recently, he had been staying low-key, either training in dou techniques or honing his dou qi, paying no attention to the upper echelons of the clan. 

Even if he had been given a title alongside Xiao Yan, it didn't make sense for her to hate him as well. 

"My strength, whether deserving or not, is none of your concern. If there's nothing else, then excuse me." 

An unreasonable woman was the most deadly. Mo Yu's gaze swept over Xiao Yu's ample chest, hidden beneath her light purple uniform, where three golden stars were embroidered, signifying her current strength—a 3-Star Dou Zhe. 

That level of strength didn't worry Mo Yu in the slightest. Though he was only a 1-Star Dou Zhe, with his high-level dou techniques, Thunder Soul, and the budding Heavenly Thunder Body, anyone below a 5-Star Dou Zhe posed no threat to him. 

After responding indifferently, the boy turned to leave. 

"You!" Seeing Mo Yu's dismissive attitude, Xiao Yu's pretty face turned livid, and her jade hand instinctively gripped the hilt of her sword. 

However, in the end, she held back and did not draw her weapon. 

For some reason, the indifference in Mo Yu's gaze made her hesitate. 

He had clearly noticed the three golden stars on her uniform, yet remained unfazed. 

Did this mean he was confident in his strength, or was he just a fool? 

But could the Xiao Clan's recently famous genius really be a fool? 

"Brother Mo Yu, is Xiao Yu causing you trouble again?" Xiao Yan and Xun Er noticed the situation and walked over together. 

"It's nothing, just a small misunderstanding," Mo Yu waved it off indifferently. 

Xiao Yan, still fuming, muttered, "Just ignore that woman, she's so stubborn!" 

Mo Yu and Xun Er both smiled helplessly, shaking their heads at the small grudge between the two. 

At that moment, Xiao Zhan and several others approached. 

"Come here, Yan'er, Yu'er. Let me introduce you to someone. This is Miss Ya Fei, the chief auctioneer of the Mite-er Auction House," Xiao Zhan stepped aside, revealing the enchanting woman in a red dress, smiling as he made the introduction. 

Mo Yu and Xiao Yan turned their gazes to the beautiful woman whose every move exuded mature allure, greeting her politely, "Miss Ya Fei." 

Ya Fei's enchanting eyes lingered on the two youths for a moment, and when she noticed Mo Yu, her eyes fluttered slightly. 

For some reason, Mo Yu's demeanor reminded her of the mysterious man who had brought the Xuan Class dou technique to the auction. 

Recalling that day, a faint blush crept onto Ya Fei's cheeks. 

When the black-robed man had left the auction that day, Ya Fei had been so overwhelmed by his charm that her behavior in the office afterward still made her feel shy today. 

As a relatively traditional woman, Ya Fei usually paid great attention to her behavior. Although she often interacted with people in public, no one had ever taken advantage of her, and her mind was focused on expanding the auction house's business and gaining the attention of her family's upper echelon. 

Such behavior only occurred once in a blue moon. 

However, Ya Fei was still a fully grown woman, and the natural emotions that came with being human were not absent from her. 

When faced with the mysterious black-robed man that day, she had lost control for a moment and behaved shamefully in her office. Thinking back, she couldn't help but feel embarrassed… 

Xiao Zhan glanced curiously at Ya Fei, not understanding why the usually composed woman appeared dazed. 

Fortunately, Ya Fei wasn't a naïve girl. She quickly regained her composure, her red lips curling into a smile as she said, "These must be the 'Twin Dragons of the Xiao Clan.' Their reputation has been spreading recently." 

Hearing this, Mo Yu and Xiao Yan exchanged glances, nodding indifferently at the title. 

Seeing that they had become acquainted, Xiao Zhan looked up at the sky, then patted Mo Yu and Xiao Yan on the shoulders with a warm smile, "Alright, the coming-of-age ceremony is about to begin. I have to go prepare some things. You two, don't embarrass me." 

Both Mo Yu and Xiao Yan nodded. 

As Xiao Zhan walked away, Ya Fei, who had also regained her composure, turned around. In that fleeting moment, she cast a deep, lingering glance at the Xiao Clan's Twin Dragons. 

Years of experience in the auction house had sharpened her intuition, and through careful observation, Ya Fei suddenly realized something that made her heart tense. Despite their youth, the two boys shared one thing in common. 

In the depths of their pitch-black eyes was an unwavering calm, like a deep, still pool that revealed nothing. 

"At such a young age, they can easily control their emotions… The Twin Dragons of the Xiao Clan… truly live up to their name." With a heavy heart, Ya Fei thought as she turned away.
