"When will the auction be held?"
Under the black robe, Mo Yu asked while admiring Ya Fei's graceful figure from close proximity.
"Sir, are you in urgent need of money? If it's not too pressing, Ya Fei would suggest waiting a day or two. It's rare to see two high-quality weapons on the market at the same time. If you allow our auction house to promote them, the profit you receive will be greater..." Ya Fei smiled sweetly and asked tentatively.
Hearing this, Mo Yu thought for a moment and nodded. For him, two days was not a significant delay.
Seeing his agreement, Ya Fei's smile grew even warmer. She picked up a teacup with her delicate hand and handed it to him personally.
Mo Yu took a sip from the teacup, and then the black robe shifted slightly. The voice of the middle-aged man emerged: "I wonder if your auction house could assist me in procuring some refining materials?"
Ya Fei's eyes lit up slightly. She settled into a chair beside him, showcasing her charming curves, and smiled. "What materials do you need, sir?"
"Ten kilograms of lava rock aged for fifty years, one hundred kilograms of purple clay, a blood spirit wood about eighty years old, and thirty kilograms of Gangyin sand..." Mo Yu listed dozens of items from memory.
Most of these materials were quite common, and given the influence of the Mittel Auction House in the Gama Empire, acquiring them should not be too difficult.
"Ha ha, Ya Fei will keep an eye out for these materials. Once I have any news, I'll inform you right away. May I ask where you are staying and how I can contact you? Are you a weapon refiner?" Ya Fei asked, her curiosity piqued.
In the Dou Qi Continent, due to the prominence of alchemists, other industries had dwindled, and there were very few who inherited the skills. Only a few outstanding weapon refiners existed in the entire Jia Ma Empire. The man before her, capable of refining weapons of such quality, must be exceptional.
A third-grade alchemist would be highly sought after by the Mittel family.
Understanding Ya Fei's intent, Mo Yu chuckled and replied, "The cost of the materials will be directly deducted from the proceeds of these two weapons. I will come to collect them when the time comes.
As for whether I am a weapon refiner, the fact that I made these two weapons should make that clear."
Ya Fei's expression changed slightly, and surprise flickered in her eyes. To be able to easily refine two extraordinary-quality weapons, this person's skills must be exceptional. His visit to a small place like Wutan City might indicate he is not yet affiliated with any major forces. If Ya Fei could bring him into the Mittel family...
She thought of the potential rewards and felt excited. This could possibly lead to her becoming a deacon at the family headquarters.
"Sir, your weapon refining skills are truly exceptional. I dare say you are among the best in the entire Jia Ma Empire. It seems you are not currently affiliated with any faction. If you don't mind, my Mittel family would be honored to welcome you.
As one of the three major families in the empire, we can offer you generous treatment and ample resources. With our support, you might soon challenge the title of the best weapon refiner in the Jia Ma Empire!"
Ya Fei's heart raced with excitement. The thought of becoming the one to recommend the top weapon refiner in the Jia Ma Empire was thrilling.
Seeing Ya Fei's somewhat flustered demeanor, her rapid breathing, and the flush on her cheeks, Mo Yu couldn't help but notice.
It's said that a woman in such a state is the most beautiful. Ya Fei, usually graceful and composed, appeared almost like a different person.
"He is indeed a workaholic." Mo Yu raised his eyebrows at Ya Fei's efforts to win him over with such grand promises.
If he were still a young man just starting out, he might have been impressed by such conditions. However, at present, the other party's efforts seemed futile.
"If your family is willing to marry Miss Ya Fei to me, I might consider it," Mo Yu said sincerely, glancing at the beautiful Ya Fei under his black robe.
Ya Fei's face froze, and a charming blush spread across her cheeks.
Reflecting on the man's previous actions and his significant spending today, it seemed that everything he did was for her. Being treated this way by a mysterious and powerful individual made Ya Fei, who was usually mature and generous, feel like a young girl again, her heart fluttering for the first time in a long while.
Seeing Ya Fei's reaction, Mo Yu thought, "Damn, this might become a big issue."
Realizing this, Mo Yu quickly adjusted his approach and pretended to regretfully say, "I generally don't like to force people. If Miss Ya Fei is not willing, it's a pity."
Before Ya Fei could respond, Mo Yu left the appraisal room in a somewhat dazed state.
Watching the black-robed man leave without hesitation, Ya Fei was stunned. She then became introspective, her eyes fixed on his receding figure.
Although she had been tempted, years of experience had made her cautious. She would not agree on impulse.
Yet, the consideration and reasonableness of the black-robed man touched her.
Mo Yu exited the auction house and went to a deserted alley. He removed his black robe, revealing his handsome face.
"That was a close call. If Ya Fei had agreed, I would have been in trouble."
Thinking about the recent events, Mo Yu couldn't help but smile bitterly and shake his head.
Recalling that Ya Fei was an outstanding woman in the original novel, Mo Yu had been somewhat joking in his intentions, but he didn't expect the situation to escalate so far.
Mo Yu had no interest in joining the Mittel family. The Gama Empire was too small to accommodate someone of his stature.
As for Ya Fei, Mo Yu's priorities were similar to his feelings for Xiao Yu. Strength was his primary concern; everything else was left to fate.
