The moment Mo Yu saw the newcomer's fiery figure and academy attire, an impression immediately surfaced in his mind.

The Great Elder of the Xiao Family's granddaughter, Xiao Ning's biological elder sister—Xiao Yu!

However, Mo Yu remembered that the two of them had interacted somewhat when they were children. After growing up, their contact had gradually decreased because of the difference in their statuses.

Judging from her appearance, she had obviously just returned home from Jia Nan Academy. Why had she come to greet him?

"I'm Mo Yu. You're Cousin Xiao Yu, right?" Mo Yu looked at the beautiful woman before him and said after giving her a slight once-over.

As they spoke, the woman opposite him walked over on a pair of alluring, sexy Long Legs.

As she approached, Mo Yu observed her from close range and finally felt the allure of those Long Legs. They were long and straight—truly a rare beauty.

"You're the Genius who defeated my younger brother and recently rose to prominence in the family, right? You're even known alongside that bastard Xiao Yan as the 'Xiao Family's Twin Dragons.' I suppose you're nothing special." After approaching, Xiao Yu's expression suddenly changed, and faint disgust appeared between her brows.

When she had just returned to the family, she had deliberately asked about some of the family's recent developments. Recently, aside from Xiao Yan recovering his talent, Mo Yu had been the most dazzling figure in the Xiao Family.

As for Xiao Yan, because of certain things that had happened when she was young, she naturally disliked him.

But toward Mo Yu, the Genius who had recently risen in the family, she had initially paid him no attention. As a student of Jia Nan Academy, she had seen many prodigies from empires and clans, and she did not believe the Xiao Family could produce any truly impressive Genius.

Later, however, some rumors gradually spread that the Family High-Level Officials were considering betrothing her to Mo Yu.

After learning of this, Xiao Yu naturally flew into a rage. As a favored daughter of heaven, she would never marry just anyone.

In her eyes, having seen the wider world, Mo Yu was merely a Genius from a small family. He might attract attention in Wu Tan City, but in the Jia Ma Empire—or even across the entire Northwest Continent—he was nothing special.

Therefore, she did not think Mo Yu was worthy of her.

She had not come this time to greet him. She had come to make Mo Yu retreat in the face of difficulties and understand that they were not people from the same world.

Seeing a trace of annoyance on Xiao Yu's delicate, beautiful face, Mo Yu was also stunned. He did not understand how he had offended her.

During this period, he had kept a low profile, either cultivating Dou Techniques or tempering his Dou Qi. He had not paid attention to the thoughts of the Family High-Level Officials.

Even if he and Xiao Yan shared a title, that was no reason for her to hate him by association.

"As for whether my strength lives up to my reputation, you don't need to worry about that. If there's nothing else, please excuse me."

An unreasonable woman was the most troublesome kind. Mo Yu's gaze swept over Xiao Yu's ample chest, concealed beneath her Light Purple School Uniform. Three golden stars were embroidered there, representing her current strength—a Three Star Dou Practitioner.

Mo Yu did not take this level of strength seriously at all. Although he was currently only a One Star Dou Practitioner, he possessed high-grade Dou Techniques, Profound Thunder, and the embryonic form of the 'Heavenly Gang Thunder Body.' Anyone below the Five Star Dou Practitioner level posed no threat to him.

Thus, after replying indifferently, the Youth turned and left.

"You!" Seeing Mo Yu's unconcerned attitude, Xiao Yu's pretty face instantly turned livid, and her jade hand went straight to the hilt of her Long Sword.

In the end, however, Xiao Yu restrained herself and did not attack.

For some reason, the indifference in Mo Yu's eyes just now made her somewhat uncertain.

The three golden stars on her school uniform had clearly caught his attention, yet he still looked completely fearless.

That meant he was either confident in his strength or a fool.

But was this recently renowned Genius of the Xiao Family a fool?

"Cousin Mo Yu, did that madwoman Xiao Yu come looking for trouble?" Xiao Yan and Xun'er had also noticed what was happening and came over together.

"It's nothing. There may have been a slight misunderstanding." Mo Yu Waved His Hand dismissively.

Seeing this, Xiao Yan still said indignantly, "Just ignore that woman. She's completely stubborn!"

Mo Yu and Xun'er both smiled, then Shook His Head somewhat helplessly at the minor grudge between the two.

Just then, Xiao Zhan and Several People walked over as well.

"Come, Yan'er, Xiao Yu. Let me introduce you. This is Miss Ya Fei, the Chief Auctioneer of the Mite'er Auction House." Xiao Zhan moved aside, revealing the alluring woman in a red dress standing behind him, and introduced her with a smile.

Mo Yu and Xiao Yan turned their gazes toward the beautiful woman who exuded mature allure with every gesture and greeted her, "Greetings, Miss Ya Fei."

Her alluring gaze swept over Mo Yu and Xiao Yan. When it reached Mo Yu, Ya Fei's Beautiful Eyes blinked faintly for some reason.

Mo Yu's bearing reminded her of the owner of the Profound-Class Movement Dou Technique from the auction.

At that thought, a faint blush appeared on Ya Fei's Cheeks.

When she recalled what she had done in her office after the Black-robed person had left that day, Ya Fei felt somewhat shy.

As a relatively traditional Woman, she usually paid close attention to her conduct. Although she often appeared in public, no one had ever taken advantage of her. Her thoughts had always been focused on expanding the auction house's business and gaining the attention of the Family High-Level Officials.

Therefore, she would not behave that way more than a few times a year.

But Ya Fei was, after all, a fully mature Woman. Naturally, she possessed the emotions that all humans had.

That day, after facing the Black-robed person's unorthodox method of seduction, she had unexpectedly lost control for a moment and done that sort of thing in the office. Afterward, she had been utterly ashamed...

Xiao Zhan glanced at Ya Fei in confusion. He did not understand why this usually poised and generous Woman had suddenly become dazed.

Fortunately, Ya Fei was not an inexperienced Young Girl. She quickly steadied her mind, slightly parted her Red Lips, and said with a radiant smile, "These two must be the Xiao Family's Twin Dragons, right? Their reputation has been spreading quite widely recently."

Hearing This, Mo Yu and Xiao Yan Looked at Each Other, then both nodded without taking the title seriously.

Seeing that the two had gotten to know each other, Xiao Zhan looked up at the sky, then patted Mo Yu and Xiao Yan on the shoulders. With a gentle smile, he said, "All right, the Coming-of-Age Ceremony is about to begin. I have to prepare a few things first. You two had better not embarrass me later."

Mo Yu and Xiao Yan both nodded.

Following Xiao Zhan, Ya Fei, who had put away her shyness, turned around. At that instant, she gave the Xiao Family's Twin Dragons before her a deep look. Years of auction experience had honed her judgment to an extremely keen edge. Under her careful observation, Ya Fei suddenly discovered with a chill in her heart that although the two youths before her were both young, they shared one common trait.

Deep within their Pitch Black eyes, there was always an ancient well without ripples, as calm as a bottomless, secluded pool.

To be able to control their own emotions so easily at such a young age—the Xiao Family's Twin Dragons truly lived up to their Well-deserved Reputation... Turning around, Ya Fei thought solemnly.
