nAfter the end of the banquet, Elder Yin immediately looked for Ye Mo, worried that Ye Mo would become angry and refuse to cooperate with him any longer.

nNonetheless, Ye Mo did not fuss with him about it. For now, Elder Yin was still a lot of help to him, so of course Ye Mo would not turn Elder Yin away. After using several dragon powers to help Elder Yin to synthesize a few Fortifying Pills with markings, Ye Mo left the Ye mansion.

nIn hiding, Ye Mo put on a tiger mask and departed for the Xiao mansion. He had not come to practice his techniques that today, but, instead, to prepare for tomorrow’s auction.

nOne must have at least one purple gold piece–that is, a hundred gold pieces–in order to enter the auction. Although Ye Mo could get such amount of money from Elder Yin, it would definitely raise Elder Yin’s suspicions. After all, Elder Yin was of the Ye Clan, so Ye Mo did not dare to take the risk.

nMoreover, Ye Mo had found another subject to borrow money from, and that was Leng Leng. Furthermore, Ye Mo did not look for Leng Leng simply to borrow money from her.

nYe Mo came to the Martial Pavilion and sparred with Xiao Feng for a bit. Ye Mo, who had already awakened four dragon powers, could easily defeat Xiao Feng, who limited his Yuanli to the Spirit Cultivating First Realm. Xiao Feng would have to raise his Yuanli to the the Spirit Cultivating Second Realm in order to win Ye Mo.

n“How your strength increases with such incredible speed!” Xiao Feng said with amazement. It had only been a few days, and Ye Mo could already go toe-to-toe with Spirit Cultivating Second Realm martial artists. If Ye Mo could open up the mortal gates in his legs, his strength would continue to increase.

n“Thanks to the Fortifying Pills given to me by Miss Xiao.” Ye Mo said.

n“I heard that a few days ago, Elder Yin of your Ye Clean became a Rank Three Alchemist. He could only reach Rank Three because of his alchemy assistant’s help. Are you that alchemy assistant?” Xiao Feng asked.

n“Yes.” Ye Mo admitted and nodded. Everyone knew he was Elder Yin’s alchemy assistant, and that there was no need to hide it any longer.

n“What about the alliance between us?” Xiao Feng said.

n“Please rest assured, I have nothing to do with the Ye Clan anymore. The Xiao Clan has helped me a lot, so of course I stand on the side of your family,” Ye Mo said.

nXiao Feng was then relieved. It seemed that Ye Mo felt hopeless about the Ye Clan. Who knew what happened to him there before.

n“Are the Leng siblings still upstairs?” Ye Mo asked.

n“Leng Feng has already gone home. Leng Leng is now with the lady.”

n“Where is she now? I was looking for her.”

n“The two of them should be in the backyard.”

nYe Mo passed through the rock garden, walked on slate paths, and finally reached the backyard of the Xiao mansion. With one glance, Ye Mo saw Xiao Yue, who was in a white dress.

nXiao Yue, as usual, had a veil over the face, but the veil was wet. Her soft eyes appeared as if covered with a layer of fog, which blurred her moon-like eyes. Xiao Yue sat on the gazebo sobbing, and Leng Leng was by her side, comforting her.

nStanding in the distance, Ye Mo witnessed the scene with a heavy heart. Xiao Yue, who on the outside was an ice queen, was hiding in her gazebo, weeping.

nHer pitiful appearance made Ye Mo feel the need to protect her, but Ye Mo immediately stomped down on this desire.

nIf his father had yet been avenged, how could he even start to think about love?

nYe Mo shook his head and considered whether he should enter the scene. However, as soon as he took his first step, Xiao Yue noticed him. As a charms master, her power was different from the ordinary person, thus she discovered Ye Mo in an instant.

n“Who is it?” Xiao Yue’s misty eyes suddenly froze, and Leng Leng, who was standing by her side, was also surprised as she stared vigilantly at Ye Mo.

nYe Mo walked over slowly and said apologetically, “I had originally been looking for Leng Leng, but when I saw Miss Xiao crying here, I didn’t dare to bother.”

n“Yue Yue, let me warn you, this guy is just a leech. He wanted to rape me a few days ago! How could you find such a person to be your foreign aid? You should be careful with him in the future,” Leng Leng exaggerated while glancing at Ye Mo with a face of annoyance, which was kind of cute.

nXiao Yue certainly did not believe Leng Leng’s words. She took out her handkerchief, wiped her eyes, and said, “Sorry about that. You came looking for Leng Leng?”

n“Correct. What is the matter with this leech who has come looking for me?” Leng Leng asked.

n“This is for the auction tomorrow.” Ye Mo said.

nTomorrow, there would be a high-grade magic weapon being auctioned off. This news has most likely spread throughout the Limestone City by now, so Xiao Yue surely would know.

nThe Xiao Clan had not planned on participating in the competition for this weapon, as their clan did not have the wealth to compete with the other three clans, and in overall power, the Xiao clan was also the weakest amongst the four.

nXiao Yue’s eyes revealed a trace of surprise, and she asked, “Are you planning to try and get your hands on that high-grade magic weapon?”

n“As long as we can get our hands on that high-grade magic weapon, it may not be impossible for both of us to enter the top five during the Limestone Champion List competition,” Ye Mo said as he nodded.

nXiao Yue smiled wryly, shook her head, and said, “Do you think I don’t want to buy that high-grade magic weapon? Right now, Xiao clan’s power is definitely unable to compete with the other three big clan.”

n“You are not only a leech, but you’re also greedy. No one in the whole Limestone City has a high-grade magic weapon, so the weapon at the auction will be highly coveted. You may still not be able to buy it even if you had the money,” Leng Leng said with a stunned expression.

n“I certainly know this, but what if I adopt the identity of an alchemist?” Ye Mo took out a Stabilizing Pill with markings on it, and its surface emitted concentrated pill fragrances.

nLeng Leng and Xiao Yue both stared at the Stabilizing Pill in Ye Mo’s hand in astonishment. The Stabilizing Pill is a Rank Three Pill, which could only be made by Qin Mo in the whole Limestone City, but there were also markings and pill fragrance on this Stabilizing Pill.

nSimply being able to synthesize Fortifying Pills with markings, Elder Yin had already achieved such a respected status. How powerful was this alchemist who could synthesize a Stabilizing Pill with markings and aroma?

n“Hey, don’t think that by showing us a Stabilizing Pill with markings and pill fragrance, you will be able to get away with it. Do you really think that they are fools?”

nLeng Leng obviously would not believe that the pill was synthesized by Ye Mo. It was already incredible for someone of his age to synthesize a Stabilizing Pill, not to mention one with markings and fragrance.

nKnowing that the two did not believe him, Ye Mo could not help but smile, “Who else in this Limestone City can synthesize such a pill?”

nWas there? No. In their minds, Leng Leng and Xiao Yue both shook her heads at the same time, but they still could not accept the fact that Ye Mo was able to synthesize such a pill.

n“Ye Mo, did you really synthesize this pill yourself?” Xiao Yue asked skeptically.

n“It was not synthesized by me. However, I have the means to enhance pills and reform ordinary pills into high-quality pills!”

nYe Mo took out a few Fortifying Pills from his pocket. On the surface of those Fortifying Pills, they all showed markings, they all emitted concentrated fragrances, and they were all high quality. In the whole of Limestone City, there was no one who sold such amounts of high-quality pills.

n“All of them are Fortifying Pills with markings?”

nThe two girls froze right on the spot and looked at Ye Mo with shocked expressions.
