"Apologize to you..." 

Hearing Mo Yu's words, Mu Qing froze, then his expression darkened immediately. He, a disciple of the top weapon refiner of the Mu Lan Empire and the vice president of the Weapon Refiner's Branch in Beast Wasteland City, had to apologize to a mere youth in front of his beloved. It was a colossal humiliation. 

"Hmph, Mu Qing, you agreed to the bet earlier, and now that my junior brother has successfully obtained the Third-grade weapon refiner badge, are you going to go back on your word? Such behavior would disgrace the reputation of our Beast Wasteland City Weapon Refiner's Branch. If that happens, I'll report to Elder Mu personally to have you removed from the vice president position!" 

Seeing Mu Qing's reluctance, Lan Yingying's lips curled into a triumphant smile. If she could truly drive Mu Qing away, it would rid her of an annoying fly, bringing much-needed peace. 

As this thought crossed her mind, she glanced at the mysterious junior brother beside her again. Even she hadn't expected that this young man would genuinely become a Third-grade weapon refiner, and so effortlessly at that. 

Mu Qing, hearing Lan Yingying's words, was momentarily stunned before his gaze fixed on Mo Yu, eyes burning with barely-contained rage. At that moment, he wished he could cut down this youth on the spot, let alone apologize. 

However, being expelled from the Beast Wasteland City Weapon Refiner's Branch was something he couldn't accept either. Taking a deep breath, Mu Qing forced a fake smile, though his face was still stiff as he said, "Junior Brother Yu Mo, I was wrong earlier. I apologize. I'm sorry." 

Once he finished, the false smile on his face disappeared, replaced by a dark scowl. Without another word, he turned and left the assessment area. 

Watching Mu Qing's retreating figure, Lan Yingying couldn't help but feel a twinge of disappointment. It would have been perfect if she could use this opportunity to drive him away. 

After accepting Mu Qing's apology, Mo Yu's expression remained calm, showing no sign of satisfaction. However, recalling the vicious look in Mu Qing's eyes before he left, he resolved to find the news about Na Ling as soon as possible and leave this place. 

If his identity were exposed, it could lead to unnecessary trouble. 

While Mo Yu was lost in thought, Lan Yingying gestured for Elder Wu to come forward. The elderly man hurried out of the hall, returning shortly with a jade tray carrying a set of exquisite purple robes. 

"These are the special garments for Third-grade weapon refiners. The materials used are of the highest quality and have been refined by the Association's master refiners. Not only are they comfortable to wear, but they can also resist certain Dou Qi attacks, comparable to the armor of Third-Rank weapons with impressive defensive capabilities." 

Accepting the jade tray, Lan Yingying's eyes twinkled with pride. She added, "About twenty years ago, the Alchemist Association sought the same kind of uniform for their members. But those guys were arrogant and looked down on us Weapon refiners, so our headquarters refused them without hesitation. I remember how furious those alchemists were back then." 

Hearing this tidbit from the past, Mo Yu was taken aback. He hadn't expected that there had been such friction between the Alchemist and Weapon Refiner's Branch. 

Taking the purple robe, he ran his hand over it, feeling its soft texture, smooth as a cat's fur. He inspected the robe closely, then removed his plain, rough shirt and donned the new garment. 

Previously, he wore plain clothes to conceal his identity, but now that he had the Weapon refiner uniform, it served as an even better cover. After all, in the Mu Lan Empire, the status of a weapon refiner commanded respect, and no one or any faction would dare to provoke a Weapon refiner lightly. 

As Mo Yu slipped into the snug purple robe, his demeanor shifted instantly. With his silver eyes, he exuded an ethereal, mysterious aura. The once deliberately unassuming face now revealed a unique radiance. 

Watching the transformation in Mo Yu's demeanor after donning the weapon refiner robe, a strange light flickered in Lan Yingying's eyes. 

"Alright, the assessment is over. Everyone may disperse now." 

The First-grade weapon refiner assessments had also concluded by now. Though a few had passed, Mo Yu's remarkable performance had overshadowed their achievements, leaving little attention for their success. 

Waving off the onlookers in the hall, Lan Yingying then turned to Mo Yu with a charming smile. "Do you have some time? If so, perhaps we could have a chat." 

Mo Yu paused, then smiled back, "Alright, I actually have something I'd like to ask Sister Lan for help with." 

"Elder Wu, please escort those who passed to collect their First-Rank badges and robes. I have some matters to discuss with my junior brother, so we won't accompany you." 

With a nod to the elderly man, Lan Yingying turned to lead the way out of the hall, with Mo Yu following at a relaxed pace. 

"Junior brother, please have a seat." In a tidy study, Lan Yingying gestured warmly for Mo Yu to sit. 

"Thank you, Sister Lan." Mo Yu nodded and took a seat casually. 

Just as he settled down, a playful yet seductive voice suddenly whispered in his ear, "Junior brother, should I call you Mo Yu, or rather, Yu Mo?" 

Hearing this, Mo Yu was startled, his mind racing through countless thoughts in an instant, yet his expression remained calm. He replied evenly, "Sister Lan, I don't understand. Who is Mo Yu?" 

Seeing his composed demeanor, Lan Yingying shook her head with a knowing smile. "You're quite the cautious one. But don't worry, even if you are Mo Yu, I won't do anything to you. After all, you were introduced by our teacher, and I care little for whatever rewards Mu Lan Valley offers." 

Lan Yingying continued, "I bet you're wondering how I know your identity. You probably forgot that the letter of introduction you gave me mentioned your name." 

Upon hearing this, Mo Yu was momentarily stunned. He quickly recalled the letter and let out a wry smile, realizing his oversight. If the president of the Beast Wasteland City Weapon Refiner's Branch had close ties with Mu Lan Valley, then his details might have already been leaked. 

The content of the letter was something Mo Yu had not reviewed, thus leading to this error. Reflecting on this, he reminded himself to avoid such oversights in the future. 

"Heh, since Sister Lan has figured out my identity, I won't hide it anymore. I am indeed Mo Yu." 

Since she hadn't exposed his identity publicly, it meant she bore no ill intentions. Mo Yu decided to be candid. Besides, he trusted that the disciple of Elder Bing wouldn't mean him harm. 

As he spoke, the young man swiped his slender hand across his face, revealing his naturally handsome and somewhat otherworldly features. 

In the well-tailored purple robe, he appeared like a flawlessly sculpted statue—strikingly beautiful. His silver eyes gleamed with an enigmatic allure under the sunlight, and the Yang aura of his Tiangang Lei Physique added a dash of rugged charm. 

The moment Lan Yingying saw Mo Yu's true face, her eyes brightened, and a flush spread across her mature, alluring face like a shy young girl. 

"Heh, I didn't expect you to be such a handsome young man, junior brother. I wonder which lucky girl will catch your eye in the future." 

Lan Yingying chuckled softly while hastily raising her teacup to cover her embarrassment, as even she was surprised by the flutter of her own heart upon seeing Mo Yu's true appearance. 

Seeing her unusual reaction, Mo Yu paused, then realized what might be happening. His Heavenly Thunder Body naturally attracted the opposite sex, and now that it had reached its first evolutionary stage, could this be the reason...? 

Mo Yu shook his head, pushing aside his wild thoughts. He cupped his hands toward Lan Yingying and said, "My apologies, Sister Lan. I didn't intend to deceive you. The Mu Lan Valley's pursuit was relentless, so I had no choice but to conceal my identity. I hope you can forgive me." 

Hearing this, Lan Yingying gradually calmed her emotions, though a hint of evasiveness remained in her beautiful eyes as she looked at Mo Yu. 

"Hehe, I understand why you did what you did, Junior Brother. There's no need to apologize. I invited you here not only to verify your true identity but also to ask you something. Are you interested in joining the Weapon Alliance?" 

"Joining the Weapon Alliance?" Mo Yu was momentarily stunned by the invitation, but then a faint smile curled on his lips. Wasn't this being very reason for coming here? 

"Of course, I'm interested. But how does one join the Weapon Alliance?" 

Lan Yingying wasn't surprised by his agreement and replied with a soft laugh, "Normally, the Weapon Alliance only allows Fourth-grade weapon refiners to join. But given your talent, if I report it to the headquarters, I think you would have no problem being accepted. 

"However, before that, I have a few questions I'd like to ask, if you don't mind?" 

Mo Yu pondered for a moment before nodding. "If it doesn't touch on any personal secrets, I'm happy to answer." 

"Alright then, my first question is simple: Where do you come from, and what family are you from? This shouldn't be too personal, right?" Lan Yingying asked with a smile. 

Mo Yu nodded and answered, "That's easy enough. I come from the Jia Ma Empire, specifically from the Xiao Clan in Wu Tan City." 

"Jia Ma Empire, Xiao Clan?" Lan Yingying repeated, her confusion only deepening. 

She had assumed that someone with Mo Yu's talent and skills must hail from a powerful family in the Central Plains, or at the very least a major force in the northwestern continent. 

But it turned out he was from an obscure family in a neighboring empire—this revelation was entirely beyond her expectations. 

Seeing Mo Yu's sincere expression without a hint of deceit, Lan Yingying sighed inwardly and set aside her doubts for now, continuing, "I have another question—it's about that thunder fire you control. 

"Mu Qing once whispered in my ear that about a month ago, the Ten Thousand Beast Flame seemed to have been taken from the hands of Elder Lion of the Mu Lan Valley and the Black Lizard Demon Serpent King. Does your flame of thunder have any connection to the Ten Thousand Beast Flame?" 

Mo Yu's face tensed when he heard her probing question, not expecting her to be so direct. 

After thinking for a while, he finally replied slowly, "The thunder fire in my hand was indeed formed after absorbing the Ten Thousand Beast Flame. As for the details, they pertain to my personal secrets, so I hope you can understand, Senior Sister." 

Hearing his confirmation, Lan Yingying was visibly stunned and said in amazement, "Elder Lion and the Black Lizard Demon Serpent King are both peak Dou Huang experts. I didn't expect that you could snatch the flame from two Dou Huang powerhouses. You're clearly not simple. 

"And to think that your thunder fire can devour an heavenly flame... that's unheard of. If this secret were to spread, it would surely shock the entire continent." 

"Sigh, never mind. This matter is too serious. I won't press further or mention it to others." Lan Yingying now looked at Mo Yu as if he were a demon. 

She couldn't understand how a mere youth could be wrapped in such a web of bizarre occurrences. 

"Thank you, Sister Lan." Mo Yu smiled lightly. 

Perhaps he saw a faint resemblance to Ya Fei in this mature and charming woman, which made him feel at ease around her. 

Waving her slender hand, Lan Yingying said helplessly, "Tell me, what do you need? But given the things you've been through, I bet it's not going to be easy. Seeing that you've called me 'Senior Sister' so many times, I'll do my best to help." 

"Then I'll thank you in advance, Sister Lan." Mo Yu licked his lips, his gaze like a hook as he looked at Lan Yingying and said softly, "I need a particular item. I wonder if you could help me find out if any other weapon refiners or members within the Weapon Alliance possess it?" 

"What item?" Lan Yingying asked curiously. 

"Na Ling." 

"Na Ling?" 

The name that escaped Mo Yu's lips made Lan Yingying pause, and then she exclaimed with surprise, "Junior Brother, Na Ling is an extremely rare treasure. And with your current strength, it seems unlikely that you'd need something like that, right?" 

Mo Yu smiled but kept his explanation vague. "I do indeed need it. I wonder if you could help me look for it, Senior Sister? I'm willing to pay a high price." 

"A high price? Junior Brother, you should know that Na Ling isn't something that can be measured merely in gold coins. Even if someone possesses it, it would be hard to convince them to trade it." Lan Yingying shook her head. 

"Sister Lan, you don't need to worry. If its value can't be measured by money, I can offer an equivalent value in artifact blueprints," Mo Yu replied calmly. 

He had quite a few high-level blueprints in his possession, some of which were unheard of even on the Dou Qi Continent. 

"Blueprints?" Lan Yingying was taken aback by Mo Yu's confident statement. 

A blueprint valuable enough to exchange for Na Ling would have to be at least of the Fifth-grade, and even a single one might not be enough. How could this young man have such treasures? 

Lan Yingying shook her head and, seeing Mo Yu's insistence, furrowed her brow and said reluctantly, "If you're determined to obtain Na Ling, it's not impossible. If you ever travel to the Central Plains, I happen to know of a weapon refiner who definitely has Na Ling." 

"The Central Plains?" 

Mo Yu frowned slightly. His plans for the Central Plains were still sometimes away, which meant this exchange wouldn't be happening anytime soon. 

However, Na Ling would greatly benefit the growth of his Flash Void Breaking Thunder. It might be worth asking about now and using the information when he eventually ventured to the Central Plains. 

"Who is this person, Senior Sister?" 

Hearing his question, a sly smile spread across Lan Yingying's lips as she said slowly, "This person is somewhat related to you. It is... my senior brother."
