After Ya Fei saw through his identity, Mo Yu did not mind, nor did he ask her to keep it secret.
After all, that mysterious Artifact Refiner was merely a fictional character he had invented. He had nothing to fear from being exposed.
After Old Yao made his move, the Mitel Auction House completely cut off all medicinal herb dealings with the Jialie Family, making the latter's situation increasingly difficult.
Under these circumstances, Mo Yu should have had much more free time. However, before he could enjoy his leisure for long, Clan Head Xiao Zhan gave him an appointment.
In the bustling Marketplace, Mo Yu strolled casually down the street. Behind him followed seven or eight burly men dressed in Xiao Family guard uniforms. Without exception, four or more golden stars were embroidered on their chests. Clearly, all of them possessed the strength of Four Star Dou Zhe.
The street was packed with people. When many fierce Mercenaries exuding the stench of blood saw the Handsome Youth, they all greeted him with friendly smiles before respectfully saying, "Little Marketplace Master, out making your rounds again?"
Mo Yu merely nodded at the address. Half a month ago, Xiao Zhan had suddenly thrown him into managing this Marketplace. Although no one in the Xiao Family had ever managed a Marketplace at such a young age, Mo Yu's status was now different from before. He was also the Xiao Family's greatest contributor, so no one objected.
Not only that, but according to Mo Yu, Xiao Yan seemed to have been sent out as well and become a Marketplace Master.
The Xiao Family's Marketplace was quite large, but Mo Yu had established a faction in his Previous Life. Managing this small Marketplace was naturally a piece of cake for him.
He left the tedious division of streets and negotiations over prices for shops in prime locations to professionals. As for himself, he brought a group of burly men out every few days to make his rounds and manage security in the Marketplace.
Although Mo Yu was young, he was an Artifact Refiner capable of refining Thunder Fire Beads. Thus, the Mercenaries in the Marketplace respected him immensely. In their eyes, the Thunder Fire Bead was practically a Divine Artifact that could save their lives, while Mo Yu, who refined it, was their "living Buddha."
Therefore, with Mo Yu's reputation behind it, the Marketplace he oversaw was the liveliest and had the highest profits.
Recalling his leisurely life over the past half month, Mo Yu felt somewhat wistful. After all, in his plans, Wu Tan City was ultimately just a passing stop. At most, in another month or so, he would leave to cultivate.
Staying in Wu Tan City, this Small City, would only make his strength increase more and more slowly.
Besides, the Dou Qi Continent was so vast. He wanted to go out and see it.
Shaking off the trace of melancholy in his heart, Mo Yu raised his head. A nimble, chubby Young Man suddenly hurried through the crowd.
Seeing the fat youth running nimbly toward him, Mo Yu furrowed his brows and said calmly, "Xiao Le, why are you running so fast? What happened?"
This Xiao Le was the Xiao Family Member who had delivered a message to Xiao Ning in the Skill Hall back then. Because he had witnessed Mo Yu's might that day, and because Mo Yu's position in the Xiao Family had risen recently, he wanted to follow Mo Yu and make a living under him.
Xiao Le's Grandfather was acquainted with Butler Mo, so Mo Yu reluctantly accepted Xiao Le as his follower.
"Cousin Mo Yu." Xiao Le gave Mo Yu an honest smile before anxiously saying, "This is bad. I just heard a Clan Member report that Cousin Xiao Yu, Cousin Xun'er, and several others were harassed by the First-Grade Alchemist of the Jialie Family at the edge of the Marketplace. That's why I hurried over to inform you."
Mo Yu's Eyes narrowed slightly, and his calm expression gradually turned icy. He turned his head slightly and said softly, "Xiao Ge, I'll leave this place to you."
"Yes!" one of the burly men answered respectfully. Although he did not know why Mo Yu had not called for more people, after spending so many days together, he knew that this Young Master always had his own way of doing things.
"Lead the way." Mo Yu turned around and said calmly to Xiao Le.
Hearing This, Xiao Le hurriedly nodded and led the way. These days, he had long since been cowed by Mo Yu. Now that Mo Yu was taking action personally, he naturally was not afraid of that damn Artifact Refiner.
On the other side, Liu Xi was excitedly studying the two Women before him.
The Young Girl on the left wore an elegant outfit. Her exquisite little face was completely free of makeup, naturally beautiful. Her smooth black hair was loosely tied with a short green ribbon, hanging just to her waist. When the breeze blew, her hair fluttered, stirring the heart.
His gaze then swept over the Woman on the right before finally brightening as it lingered on her pair of sexy, slender Long Legs. A lewd look surfaced in his eyes.
"Hehe, Brother Liu Xi, they are all from the Xiao Family. In particular, the Woman on the right is named Xiao Yu, and she is Mo Yu's Fiancee." Jialie Ao, followed by a group of burly men, stepped forward with a lecherous smile.
"Oh? That trash Artifact Refiner's Fiancee? It will be even more interesting to play with her that way." Liu Xi stared fixedly at Xiao Yu's Long Legs, his Eyes glowing with a sickly green light.
"Jialie Ao, make your move. Haven't you been unable to find an opportunity to deal with Mo Yu? Take advantage of this chance to lure him out. As long as you cripple that Mo Yu and I get the two of them, I'll help you completely bring down the Xiao Family. Besides Spring Return Powder, I can refine two or three other kinds of pills. Once they are refined, I guarantee the Xiao Family will return to its former state."
Hearing This, Jialie Ao was stunned again. He had not expected Liu Xi to hate Mo Yu so much. It was a pity to waste these two beautiful Women, but he immediately cast that thought aside.
"Seize them!"
At Jialie Ao's command, the dozen or so burly men behind him immediately surrounded the three Women with fierce expressions.
Seeing how arrogant they were, Xiao Yu became furious, her Willow Eyebrows raised sharply. She gave a Cold Smile, pulled a green whip from her waist, and viciously lashed it at the burly man charging toward her. With a sharp crack, a long bloody mark appeared across his face.
Although Xiao Yu was a Three Star Dou Practitioner, the dozen or so opponents were also around the Dou Zhe level. After knocking down two or three of them, Xiao Yu gradually fell into a disadvantage and began dodging somewhat awkwardly.
After striking another burly man with her palm and sending him backward spewing blood, Xiao Yu's delicate face paled slightly as she retreated several steps. She turned and shouted at Xiao Ning, "Take Xun'er and leave! Then call Mo Yu out!"
Xiao Ning hurriedly nodded, but his expression suddenly changed as he shouted, "Sis, watch out!"
Hearing Xiao Ning's warning, Xiao Yu quickly turned around. The burly man she had lashed so hard with her whip earlier had already raised his iron fist, viciously smashing it toward her.
Seeing this, Xiao Yu rapidly condensed Dou Qi in her palm. Just as she was about to strike fiercely, a black shadow flashed quickly to her side. A savage gust of force slammed into the burly man's face, sending him skidding across the ground for several meters with his face covered in blood before he slowly came to a stop.
"The Jialie Family certainly has quite the imposing reputation. You even dare touch my Woman!"
The Young Man's face was calm yet grim. He glanced coldly at Liu Xi and Jialie Ao opposite him before speaking in a chilling voice.
