Background / History

Ya Fei first meets Xiao Chen when he visits the Mittel Auction House for ingredients to refine an Energy Storage Pill. Surprised that he pays with a Tier 5 monster core, she accepts the core, charges him 300 gold coins for the herbs, and keeps the remaining value as credit for his future purchases. 4

After consulting the auction house's chief alchemist, Gu Ni, Ya Fei concludes that Xiao Chen may possess extraordinary strength or a powerful master. The pair decide that befriending him would benefit the Mittel Auction House, and Ya Fei sends a respectful invitation for him to visit. 5 6

At the auction house, Ya Fei hosts Xiao Chen at a banquet while attempting to learn more about him. When he admits that he personally hunted the Tier 5 magical beast that produced the core, she becomes increasingly convinced that he is an unusually powerful young expert. 7

Ya Fei and Gu Ni later test Xiao Chen by asking him to refine a Tier 3 Qi Recovery Pill. After he delivers a top-grade pill, she offers the full assistance of the Mittel Auction House for any future needs. 8

Recognizing his potential as both a suspected Dou King and an alchemist of at least Tier 3, Ya Fei sends a detailed report on Xiao Chen to the Mite'er Family in the Jia Ma Holy City. 9

When Jialie Bi attempts to force the Xiao Clan to hand over Xiao Chen, Ya Fei arrives with a Dou Ling expert, publicly declares Xiao Chen a distinguished guest of the Mittel Auction House, and orders Jialie Bi's execution after he refuses to abandon his vendetta. 11

Personality
