Background / History

Ya Fei grew up at Ting Zhu Xuan in the Jia Ma Imperial Capital. As a child, she regularly fed the birds in its courtyard; after her parents were gone and she left the capital, the birds also disappeared from the residence. 51 78

She was expelled from the Mite'er Family headquarters after resisting an attempted assault by Leo, also called Elder Lei's, son. Ya Fei injured him, leaving him traumatized and impotent; Leo then used his influence with other elders to distort the incident and have her driven from the family. 50

Following her exile, Ya Fei became the person in charge of the Mite'er Auction House in Wutan City. There, she met Xiao Jin while he was consigning Qi Gathering Pills and convinced him to auction them rather than accept Gu Ni's direct-purchase offer. 7

The Azure Nether Longevity Pill arranged through her deal with Xiao Jin extended Mite'er Teng Shan's father's life by ten years. This achievement allowed Ya Fei to return to the Imperial Capital and restored her standing in the family. 27 54

During her return journey, guards Brother Liang and Xiao Wang took part in an assassination attempt ordered by Leo. Xiao Jin rescued Ya Fei after Brother Liang held her hostage, and she learned that Leo had acted preemptively out of fear that she would seek revenge. 48 50

After Xiao Jin defeated Leo and Lei Le, Teng Shan expelled the pair from both the Mite'er Family and Auction House. He appointed Ya Fei to oversee the Imperial Capital headquarters and permitted her to attend family meetings, elevating her from a useful employee to a member of the family’s upper ranks. 53 54

Five years after her parents vanished during an expedition into the Monster Mountain Range for the Companion Purple Gold Source, Ya Fei learned that the Purple Gold Winged Lion King had been involved. Xiao Jin killed the beast for her revenge, though the act did not provide the closure she expected. 130 132

Personality
