Background / History

Ya Fei serves as the chief auctioneer and manager of the Mittel Auction House in Wu Tan City. Although backed by the Mite'er Family, she personally welcomes only the leaders of the city’s three great families; Xiao Zhan identifies her as the auction house’s true local authority 8.

Following the destruction of the Jia Lie and Ao Ba families, Ya Fei considers whether the successive annihilations are connected. When Xiao Lei visits the auction house, she receives him personally and calls him Wu Tan City’s number one genius 50.

Xiao Lei later proposes an alliance between the Mittel Auction House and the Xiao Family. Ya Fei handles the transaction and considers his proposal, while showing interest in the powerful master behind him 50. The two formally establish an alliance, and Xiao Lei gives her a Rebirth Pill intended to improve her cultivation aptitude 51.

After Xiao Lei returns to Wu Tan City, Ya Fei reunites with him and accepts his invitation to the Xiao family estate. There, he introduces her to the long-missing Ice Emperor Hai Bodong, the Mite'er Family’s Supreme Elder 83 84. Hai Bodong agrees to support her rise within the family, giving her a major political backer 84.

Ya Fei remains at the Mittel Auction House while Xiao Lei travels and cultivates. She later reunites with him in the Gama Imperial Capital and expresses concern about the danger he faces at the Misty Cloud Sect 124. When Mu Zhan pursues her and confronts Xiao Lei, Ya Fei rejects him; Xiao Lei kills Mu Zhan after a brief clash 125.

During the war between the Chu Yun and Gama Empires, the Mittel Family requests Xiao Lei’s assistance through Hai Bodong. Xiao Lei chooses to intervene specifically to protect Ya Fei and her family 165.
