"Little junior brother?" 

Hearing this somewhat unique form of address, Mo Yu was taken aback for a moment, then seemed to realize something, a trace of a black line appearing on his forehead. 

Clearly, because of the recommendation letter, this voluptuous and alluring woman in the blue dress had misunderstood something. 

However, as the saying goes, since things had already come to this, he might as well make the best of the situation. Out of courtesy, Mo Yu didn't rudely refute her immediately but instead squinted his eyes slightly, sizing up the woman with a friendly and polite demeanor. 

Upon seeing her for the first time, Mo Yu felt a sense of familiarity about the woman in the blue dress. Her temperament and figure reminded him of a more enhanced version of Ya Fei. 

If Ya Fei was like a ripe woman, then the woman in front of him was an even more mature version. 

Beneath her tight-fitting blue palace dress was a curvaceous figure that countless women would envy. Combined with her delicate features, fair skin, and the faint fragrance that lingered in the air, the sight of her ample cleavage was enough to make any normal man's blood boil. 

Even Mo Yu, who usually maintained a calm and composed expression, couldn't help but show some fluctuation in his demeanor. A hint of heat flashed in his silver eyes but was quickly suppressed by the young man. 

Evidently, ever since he had broken through the first stage of the Heavenly Thunder Body, the drawbacks of this acquired physique had become increasingly pronounced. 

Yet, despite this, Mo Yu's reaction still surprised the woman in the blue dress. 

She had always been confident in her beauty. In Beast Wasteland City and even throughout the entire Mu Lan Empire, her admirers could line up from Beast Wasteland City all the way to the capital. 

Apart from a few terrifyingly powerful old monsters, few young men could resist her charm. However, this young man only lost his composure for a moment before regaining it, showing an extraordinary determination. 

A strange glimmer appeared in her beautiful eyes as the woman in the blue dress took out the recommendation letter and said with a charming smile, "Little junior brother, I have confirmed your identity. I am Lan Yingying, the second disciple of our master. You can call me Second Senior Sister." 

"Originally, our master only had two disciples, but now with you, there are three. By the way, I still don't know your name, junior brother, or when you became our master's disciple?" 

Hearing Lan Yingying's words, Mo Yu raised an eyebrow. As he expected, although he didn't know what was written in the recommendation letter, the other party had clearly misunderstood something. 

Shaking his head, Mo Yu pondered for a moment before replying, "Apologies, Miss Lan. My name is Yu Mo. I am not in a master-disciple relationship with Bing Lao. We met a few months ago in a tavern in Western Wasteland City. After some conversation, he gave me this recommendation letter and told me to come to Beast Wasteland City to give it a try." 

"Oh? So Master actually came to Mu Lan Empire." Lan Yingying's expression froze momentarily, and then a trace of a girlish grievance flashed through her beautiful eyes. "Master came to Mu Lan Empire and didn't even come to see me." 

After voicing her discontent, Lan Yingying quickly regained her graceful demeanor. Looking at Mo Yu, she said with a light smile, "So I misunderstood, but Master praised you highly in his letter. Even my senior brother and I never received such an evaluation." 

"Although you haven't officially become Master's disciple, the fact that he gave you a recommendation letter means that you are destined. It's not too much for you to call me Senior Sister." 

Mo Yu thought for a moment before nodding slowly and saying, "Greetings, Senior Sister Lan." 

In his past life, a seventh-tier weapon refiner would not even have qualified to polish his shoes, let alone become his master. 

However, in the Dou Qi Continent, things were different. A seventh-tier weapon refiner could be considered among the top tier in the weapon refining community. 

Thus, while Mo Yu wouldn't accept him as his master, he didn't stubbornly reject the goodwill either. 

"Hehe, I've wanted a junior brother or sister for a long time, but Master has always had high standards, and ordinary people could never catch his eye. Now, I'm no longer the youngest." 

"Yu Mo, right? Don't worry, with me looking out for you in Mu Lan Empire, no one will dare to bully you." 

Though Mo Yu hadn't acknowledged Bing Lao as his master, Lan Yingying still considered him her junior brother. A trace of affection appeared in her beautiful eyes. 

A hint of helplessness flashed in Mo Yu's silver eyes, and he chuckled lightly, "Thank you, Senior Sister Lan, but my purpose for coming here is to take the weapon refining level assessment." 

Hearing Mo Yu's words, Lan Yingying was taken aback, then she looked at him in surprise and said, "Little junior brother, you seem very young, and yet you're already taking the weapon refining assessment? Master really did find a genius disciple this time. But with your talent, passing the first-tier weapon refining assessment shouldn't be a problem." 

"Coincidentally, I have some influence in the Weapon Refiner Branch here in Beast Wasteland City. Let me take you inside." 

With that, Lan Yingying took Mo Yu's hand and turned to lead him inside the building. 

As his hand was held by a soft and slender one, a smooth and delicate sensation surged into Mo Yu's mind, and at the same time, the flames in his heart grew stronger, only to be quickly suppressed again. 

Entering the Weapon Refiner Branch, a faint coolness greeted them, bringing a refreshing feeling. 

Inside the hall, there weren't many people, with only a few quietly going about their business. Hearing the sound of footsteps, some people looked up. 

When they saw the woman in the blue dress, respectful expressions quickly appeared on their faces. However, when they noticed that she was holding the hand of a young man with a handsome face in plain clothes, their expressions changed to confusion and shock. 

Noticing the changes in their expressions, Mo Yu, who was quick-witted, turned his head to look at the woman holding his hand. Clearly, this so-called senior sister seemed to hold a high status in the Weapon Refiner Branch. 

At this moment, a woman in a pale green dress hurried out from the back, quickly walking towards Mo Yu and Lan Yingying. 

"President, hello." 

The woman in the pale green dress respectfully bowed to Lan Yingying, then looked up at Mo Yu, glancing curiously at the hands they held. 

"President?" 

Hearing the title, Mo Yu was taken aback. He hadn't expected that this alluring woman in the blue dress was actually the president of the Weapon Refiner Branch. 

She called it having some influence? She's clearly in charge here. 

With such authority, she was undoubtedly a significant figure in the entire Mu Lan Empire. No wonder she confidently claimed she could look out for him. 

Seemingly not noticing Mo Yu's surprise, Lan Yingying gently released his hand and smiled as she said, "Ai Li, this is my junior brother, Yu Mo. From now on, treat him with the same respect as you would treat me, understood?" 

"Junior brother?" 

Although Ai Li's curiosity grew, she didn't show it on her face. She respectfully addressed Mo Yu, "Greetings, Mr. Yu Mo." 

"Mm, hello, just call me Yu Mo." Not wanting to reveal too much within the Mu Lan Valley's sphere of influence, Mo Yu decided to keep using the alias Yu Mo for now. 

"Uh, okay." Ai Li was a bit taken aback by the easygoing demeanor of the president's junior brother, but she quickly composed herself, smiling warmly. "How may I assist you?" 

"I'd like to take the weapon refining level assessment. Is it possible to do that now?" 

"It is possible, but it appears you haven't yet obtained an weapon refining badge, so you'll need to start with the first-tier assessment," Ai Li said with a smile. 

Mo Yu was taken aback by her words, thinking to himself that this felt a lot like the Alchemist Association. It seemed that the Weapon Refiner Branch really did model itself after it. 

"Can't I directly take the assessment for my chosen weapon refiner rank? Also, what's the highest rank of weapon refiner that your branch can assess?" Mo Yu continued to ask. 

"Hehe, little junior brother, it seems you have quite the ambition. Let me tell you, the Beast Wasteland City Weapon Refiner Branch can only assess up to third-grade weapon refiners. After all, your senior sister here is just a fourth-grade weapon refiner herself. 

As for skipping the preliminary assessments and directly applying for a higher rank badge, it's generally not allowed according to the rules. But since the head of this branch happens to be your senior sister, I'll bend the rules a bit. Tell me, which grade of weapon refiner do you want to be assessed for? I'll arrange it directly for you." 

Lan Yingying's beautiful eyes shimmered as she looked at the young man, her interest visibly growing. She subconsciously assumed that Mo Yu found the process cumbersome and just wanted to test for a second-grade weapon refiner. 

A second-grade weapon refiner at such a young age—her teacher must have indeed found a promising talent. 

As for a third-grade weapon refiner or higher, Lan Yingying hadn't even considered it. After all, becoming a third-grade weapon refiner required the strength of a Da Dou Shi, a level not easily attainable by most people. 

"So, the highest is only a third-grade weapon refiner…" Mo Yu glanced at her in surprise after hearing Lan Yingying's response. He hadn't expected this alluring woman to be a fourth-grade weapon refiner herself, which explained why Bing Lao had taken her as a disciple. 

With his soul power now at the fourth-grade level, Mo Yu could aim for a fourth-grade weapon refiner badge if he wished. 

Though he wasn't sure about the requirements for joining the Qi Alliance, it was clear that the higher the rank, the greater the likelihood of acceptance. 

After thinking for a moment, Mo Yu stroked his chin and said, "Then I'll trouble you, Senior Sister. I would like to test for a third-grade weapon refiner badge." 

Aiming for a fourth-grade weapon refiner would be too startling given his age, so he decided to settle for a third-grade badge for now. 

"Alright, follow me," Lan Yingying said with a smile, turning to lead the way. But just as she moved forward, a voice filled with shock suddenly echoed through the hall. 

"You said… you want to test for a third-grade weapon refiner, not second-grade?" Lan Yingying turned her head, slightly parted her rosy lips, and looked at Mo Yu with wide eyes. 

To test for a third-grade weapon refiner at such a young age? Was this kid some sort of prodigy who had been training since birth? 

Had their teacher found a true genius, or just a braggart from a rich family? 

At this moment, Ai Li and many of the staff in the hall were also looking at Mo Yu with shock. In the current Weapon Refiner Branch, there were fewer than a handful of third-grade weapon refiners. Could this young man really achieve it? 

"Is there a problem?" Mo Yu nodded slightly, maintaining a calm demeanor. 

"N-no… no problem." Lan Yingying recovered from her surprise, her elegant smile returning as she suppressed her inner shock. She looked at Mo Yu with a deeper curiosity; this mysterious junior brother was becoming increasingly hard for her to read. 

And for some reason, she had a hunch that if the Weapon Refiner Branch could assess beyond third-grade, this young man might have aimed even higher. 

Shaking off the unrealistic thought, she reminded herself that a fourth-grade weapon refiner at such an age was something even the Central Plains' Weapon Alliance headquarters had never seen. 

After turning through several corridors, Lan Yingying's pace slowed until they stopped in front of a large door. 

Outside the door stood five burly men, fully armed guards. 

With a glance at their badges, Mo Yu quickly assessed their strengths. Four of them were one-star Dou Shi, while the leader was a five-star Dou Shi. 

"Gai Ya, has the assessment inside begun?" Lan Yingying asked. 

"Reporting to the President, the assessment hasn't started yet." 

The burly man called Gai Ya responded respectfully, his gaze shifting to Mo Yu with a hint of surprise—despite his own strength, he couldn't gauge the young man's abilities. 

"Alright then, little junior brother, let's head inside," Lan Yingying said with a gentle smile. 

Hearing her address, the guards exchanged surprised glances at Mo Yu. As the president of the Beast Wasteland City Weapon Refiner Branch, Lan Yingying's background was notably mysterious, and now she had brought in a junior brother. 

"Okay." Mo Yu nodded with a smile, following Lan Yingying through the entrance. 

Once they stepped inside, the spacious hall was as bright as day, bustling with a crowd of people. Laughter and murmurs occasionally rippled through the air. 

Mo Yu's gaze swept over the badges on their chests, realizing that many of them were genuine Refiners. 

It seemed that only a unique place like the Mu Lan Empire could gather so many normally rare Refiners. 

As Mo Yu marveled at the scene, Lan Yingying's presence immediately drew everyone's attention. As the president of the Beast Wasteland City Weapon Refiner Branch and a renowned beauty, Lan Yingying was well-known throughout the empire. 

Mo Yu even noticed that upon Lan Yingying's entrance, many men instinctively swallowed, their eyes filled with a hidden longing. 

"Yingying, the assessment is about to start. You… where did you go?" As the crowd's gaze remained fixed on the lady in the blue dress, a male voice suddenly rang out. 

Mo Yu turned his head toward the sound. A young man dressed in a maroon outfit stood behind him, wearing a bright smile. Though the youth appeared quite handsome, his overly enthusiastic grin gave Mo Yu a sense of insincerity. 

A hint of distaste flashed across Lan Yingying's face as she turned around, wrapping her arm around Mo Yu's. She glanced at the young man and said coolly, "Mu Qing, you are merely the vice president. What I do is none of your concern. 

And I believe I've told you before, you are not allowed to address me as Yingying. Are you defying the president's orders?" 

"That… was indeed my oversight." 

Mu Qing's smile faltered as he nodded awkwardly. His gaze subtly flicked to their entwined arms, and when he looked at Mo Yu, a faint flash of coldness and anger appeared in his eyes. 

"And this young brother here is… why do I feel like I've seen him somewhere before?"
