"When can the auction take place?"

Under his black robe, Mo Yu glanced at Ya Fei's graceful figure while casually asking.

"Is Sir in urgent need of money? If not, I'd suggest waiting a day or two. It's rare for two high-quality weapons to appear at the same time. If we publicize it a little, the profit you'll gain will be significantly higher..." Ya Fei said softly, with a probing smile.

Mo Yu pondered for a moment and nodded. For him, waiting two days wasn't a problem.

Seeing his agreement, the smile on Ya Fei's face brightened. She gracefully picked up a cup of tea and personally handed it to him.

Taking a sip from the cup, the black robe shifted slightly, and Mo Yu's voice, now deep and mature, spoke, "Can your auction house procure some materials for me?"

Ya Fei's eyes gleamed with interest. She sat elegantly on a chair, her alluring curves accentuated, and she replied with a smile, "What kind of materials does Sir need?"

"Ten pounds of fifty-year-old Lava Stone, a hundred pounds of purple sand, an eighty-year-old Blood Spirit Wood, thirty pounds of Gang Silver Sand..." Mo Yu listed several materials from memory.

Most of these materials were quite common, and with the influence of the Mite-er Auction House in the Jia Ma Empire, gathering them wouldn't be difficult.

"Of course, I'll help Sir keep an eye on these materials. As soon as there's news, I'll let you know immediately. May I ask where Sir is staying and how to contact you? Are you, by chance, a weapon refiners?" Ya Fei's curiosity grew as she asked.

On the Dou Qi Continent, the dominance of alchemists had overshadowed other trades, leading to a decline in crafts like blacksmithing. A skilled weapon refiners was incredibly rare.

A remarkable weapon refiners, capable of forging such fine weapons, could likely rival a third-tier alchemist.

Even in the Mite-er Family, such a talent would be highly valued.

Recognizing Ya Fei's intentions, Mo Yu chuckled. "You can deduct the cost of the materials from the auction proceeds for these two weapons. I'll come to collect them when ready. As for whether I'm a weapon refiners or not, these two weapons are made by my hand, so I believe that answers your question."

Hearing his confirmation, Ya Fei's expression shifted. Her eyes sparkled with delight. If this person was indeed a skilled weapon refiners and hadn't yet been recruited by any major force, she might have the chance to bring him under the Mite-er Family's banner.

With such a person in her family, the rewards she could gain would be tremendous, perhaps even propelling her to the rank of an elder at the family's headquarters.

"Sir, your craftmanship is indeed exceptional. It might even be among the best in the entire Jia Ma Empire. If you are not yet affiliated with any force, the Mite-er Family would be honored to welcome you. As one of the empire's three major families, we can offer you a generous position and ample resources. With our support, you may even claim the title of the empire's top weapon refiners one day!"

The idea of Mo Yu, the empire's best weapon refiners, being part of the Mite-er Family, filled Ya Fei with excitement. Such an achievement would immortalize her in the family's history.

Seeing the usually composed Ya Fei with flushed cheeks, her breathing quickening, and her ample chest heaving with every breath, Mo Yu couldn't help but take a deep inhale of the pleasant fragrance surrounding her.

A woman in her element was truly captivating. The usually poised and elegant Ya Fei now looked strikingly vulnerable, very different from her typical self.

"A true workaholic," Mo Yu thought, observing Ya Fei's eagerness. Her enticing offer would have deeply moved any ordinary person, but for him, her efforts were futile.

"If the Mite-er Family were to grant me the hand of Miss Ya Fei, I might consider it," Mo Yu said with a hint of amusement, his eyes lingering on her beauty.

Upon hearing this, Ya Fei was momentarily stunned. Then, to Mo Yu's surprise, a blush crept onto her elegant face.

She remembered his bold behavior during the last auction and now, combined with today's extravagant dealings, it seemed all of it was for her.

Being pursued by a mysterious, powerful man stirred feelings that Ya Fei, mature and worldly as she was, hadn't felt in a long time. Her heart, unexpectedly, began to flutter.

Seeing her uncharacteristically shy demeanor and the confusion in her eyes, Mo Yu suddenly thought to himself, "Damn, did I take this too far?"

Quickly adjusting, Mo Yu feigned disappointment, "I never like forcing anyone. Since Miss Ya Fei seems reluctant, I'll let it go."

Before Ya Fei could respond, Mo Yu left the treasure appraisal room, his figure appearing somewhat forlorn as he walked away.

Watching him leave, Ya Fei was momentarily lost. Her beautiful eyes followed the retreating figure, her thoughts in turmoil.

She had indeed been momentarily tempted, but years of experience and self-restraint kept her from making a rash decision.

Still, the way this mysterious man respected her decision left a subtle mark on her heart.

Meanwhile, outside the auction house, Mo Yu ducked into a quiet alley, removed his black robe, and revealed his handsome face.

"That was close. If Ya Fei had really agreed, I would've been in trouble."

Recalling the scene from moments ago, Mo Yu shook his head with a rueful smile.

He had only teased Ya Fei because of how outstanding she was in the original story. But now, he realized that the joke might have gone too far.

As for joining the Mite-er Family, Mo Yu had no interest at all. The Jia Ma Empire was too small for someone like him.

As for Ya Fei, his thoughts about her were the same as with Xiao Yu. Strength was what mattered most to him now; everything else was just a matter of fate.
