7: Are you looking for an old man?

"Young Miss Ya Fei, if you have something to say, please be direct!" Xiao Lei looked at Ya Fei, who was almost pressing against his face, and had to use his left hand to block her.

Her eyes were constantly fixed on Xiao Lei, making Xiao Lei's principle of looking at eyes before legs completely impossible to implement!

Xiao Lei wouldn't think that Ya Fei suddenly becoming so intimate with him meant she had fallen in love with him.

In his previous life, Xiao Lei often said, if a girl inexplicably and quickly falls in love with you and is eager to discuss the mysteries of life with you, don't think it's love!

Because it might be 'Ai' (AIDS)!

Although he had displayed his talent, it was certainly not enough for Ya Fei to be so intimate with him.

Hearing this, Ya Fei not only didn't restrain herself but instead directly came to Xiao Lei's side, pressing her face against his and leaning close to Xiao Lei's ear.

"Little Brother Xiao Lei, what are you saying? I'm just admiring your talent. How could I have anything to trouble you with, Little Brother!"

"How dare I!"

Ya Fei's incredibly magnetic voice echoed in Xiao Lei's mind, and the warm breath she exhaled clearly brushed against his ear, as he perceived it.

"Damn it, this vixen!" Xiao Lei could only curse in his heart. If it weren't for his strong self-control, he might have let his 'little head' control his 'big head' by now, then fallen under Ya Fei's spell and done whatever she asked.

Shaking his head, Xiao Lei pushed Ya Fei away to prevent her from further flaunting her charm.

"It seems Young Miss Ya Fei isn't being honest! Since we can't be honest with each other, why waste time here!"

Xiao Lei wasn't stupid. This Ya Fei definitely wanted to use him, but he didn't know how, or if he would benefit. That's why Xiao Lei made this trip.

But if she wasn't even willing to speak, then there was no need to talk.

As for something happening between them here?

That was impossible. This was the Mittel Auction House, Ya Fei's territory!

Don't look at how proactive Ya Fei was now. What if midway through, or even just as he started taking off his clothes, she suddenly screamed that he was raping her, and then arranged for people to come and tie him up? Wouldn't that be a total mess for him!

"Xiao Lei is leaving now, goodbye!"

After speaking, Xiao Lei made to leave. This trick had always worked for Xiao Lei when bargaining in his previous life!

"Wait!" Ya Fei quickly spoke to stop him, presumably detecting some special 'rule'.

"I want to make a deal with Brother Xiao Lei!" Ya Fei's slender hands pressed Xiao Lei back into his seat, then she again leaned close to Xiao Lei's ear.

"Young Miss Ya Fei is joking. I'm a pauper. The only valuable house I had was returned to the Family. Now I'm so poor I'm almost begging for food. What could I possibly have that Young Miss Ya Fei would be interested in!"

When Xiao Lei came to the Fighting Qi Continent, he was also forced to be alone, without a single penny.

"Isn't what this elder sister wants right here!" Ya Fei continued to manipulate her tone, stirring up trouble by Xiao Lei's ear.

Hearing this, Xiao Lei immediately jumped up, looking at Ya Fei as if guarding against fire, thieves, and robbers.

"I'm telling you! I sell my skills, not my body! Don't even think about it!"

Ya Fei: ??? Forget it, I'll just speak normally!

"Elder sister appreciates your Cultivation talent and wants to invest in you!"

Xiao Lei immediately understood. He was aware of Ya Fei's situation. It seemed she merely wanted to use him to break free from her Family's control.

However, although Xiao Lei currently lacked resources, he knew he wouldn't be lacking them later. Not to mention the resources he knew about, he could also join Jia Nan Academy.

But Ya Fei had something he urgently desired.

"Tell me what you want! Don't beat around the bush with me. I'll be leaving Wutan City soon, and I don't have time to argue with you."

The easiest and strongest thing to copy in Wutan City was Xiao Zhan. As soon as Xiao Yan broke through to Dou Practitioner and he got Fen Jue from him, Xiao Lei would quickly leave to continue searching for copyable items.

Ya Fei pondered for a long time. She didn't have much capital, so she didn't have many opportunities to place a bet. This was her first meeting with Xiao Lei.

To make her place a bet now was a true test of her courage.

"Xiao Lei said he would leave Wutan City soon. How soon is 'soon'? Or is this just a trick to confuse me and make me anxious?"

Many thoughts collided in Ya Fei's mind. After a long while, she finally made up her decision.

"I am actually a member of the Mittel Family. I actively applied to come to Wutan City to prove my worth, so as not to be used by the Family for a marriage alliance. My condition is very simple: help me break free from the Family's control. If you agree, I will spare no effort to help you!"

Ya Fei seemed to have made up her mind, but how much of what she said was believable was unknown. Fortunately, Xiao Lei didn't need to know.

"No problem. As for now, I need you to help me invite Mr. Gu Ni. I have admired his Alchemy for a long time!"

Ya Fei: ???

He didn't ask for money, Medicinal Pills, or Dou Techniques, but instead wanted to see Gu Ni first. Since when did Alchemists have such great charm!

"I'll go invite him right away, but I must first remind you, Great Master Gu Ni is an Alchemist, so you must not offend him!"

"Alright, alright, I know, go quickly!" Xiao Lei said somewhat impatiently.

Hearing this, Ya Fei doubted life even more. 'I'm a young, beautiful, charming Young Miss, and you're indifferent, but you're so excited about an old Alchemist!'

He even looked a bit impatient!

No way!

Ya Fei only hoped it wasn't what she was thinking... So, after giving Xiao Lei a strange look for a while, Ya Fei clicked her high heels and went to find Gu Ni.

Soon, Ya Fei returned with a middle-aged man!

Gu Ni was beaming, his old face showing the unique arrogance of an Alchemist.

"Great Master Gu Ni, this is Xiao Lei, the Genius of the Xiao Family, whom I told you wanted to meet you. He reached Four-star Dou Practitioner at the age of sixteen."

Facing Gu Ni, Ya Fei also showed respect. It must be said that Alchemists were indeed overly noble in this world.

"Oh, I see. Young friend Xiao Lei, I've heard of him. His talent is a rarity in the entire Jia Ma Empire! I just don't know what he wants to see me for. If it's for refining Medicinal Pills, that's fine; just follow the Alchemist's rules."

Alchemists were arrogant, but not fools. Xiao Lei's talent was strong, and Gu Ni's life would likely remain as it was, so Gu Ni's attitude was still quite amiable.

"Senior Gu Ni, this Junior has long admired the glory of Alchemists. I came here today solely to learn about Alchemists from you, Senior."

"So that's it!"

Gu Ni and Ya Fei thought almost simultaneously.

Ya Fei immediately slapped her forehead, feeling ashamed of a certain earlier guess.

"So, young friend is interested in Alchemy. No matter, let me see if young friend has the talent for Alchemy."

"Young Miss Ya Fei, please wait elsewhere!" Xiao Lei directly reversed the roles, sending Ya Fei off in the Mittel Auction House.

Hearing this, Ya Fei rolled her eyes at Xiao Lei. There was nothing she could do, so she clicked her high heels and left again.

Then Xiao Lei quickly activated the System, aiming it at Gu Ni.
