Xiao Yan's willingness to use the Mite'er Family's name for the banquet was a clear signal to all the powers in the capital that he was backing Ya Fei.
"Thank you." A charming smile bloomed on her delicate face, instantly brightening the entire courtyard.
"No need to thank me. After all, I'm the man standing behind you," Xiao Yan said with his signature mischievous grin.
"Oh, you," Ya Fei's jade-like face flushed, remembering the intimate actions of the previous night.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Yan chuckled, scooping her up in his arms.
"I feel like a vase now, having to rely on you for everything," she murmured, her eyes unfocused, lost in thought.
"If you're a vase, then you're the finest vase in the world, a work of art bestowed upon me by the
Ya Fei wriggled.
"What's the fun in tricking little girls? It's much more satisfying to trick a mature big sister like you."
A day later, a grand banquet, unseen in the capital for many years, unfolded in a manor owned by the Mite'er Family.
Under the cover of night, the manor was brightly lit. Servants carefully handled the arrangements, as everyone attending tonight were the empire's most elite figures.
If any of them were displeased, the servants would suffer greatly. Conversely, if they served these important people well, their earnings for the night would surpass an entire year's worth.
At the banquet, Xiao Yan wore the white robe he had shown off in the Dan Tower, instantly transforming into a dashing young noble. This very aura alone caused countless young women's hearts to flutter.
"Dressed like this tonight, you'll be attracting all the attention again, won't you?" Ya Fei eyed him.
"Could a gentleman like me ever do such a thing?" Xiao Yan said seriously.
"You're a gentleman, why are you always staring at people's butts?" Ya Fei rolled her eyes, looking at a young woman in the distance.
"I just think her butt isn't as nice as yours," Xiao Yan said softly.
"I really don't know what to do with you." Ya Fei was truly helpless in the face of this rogue.
But looking at his current dashing appearance, a trace of admiration flashed in her beautiful eyes.
"It's really good." Ya Fei looked up at the young man who was a head taller than her.
"What's really good?"
"It's really good to have you." She suddenly hugged Xiao Yan, taking advantage of the fact that not everyone had arrived yet.
"I know you can't just have me as your only woman, but I hope that in the end, no matter what, you won't forget me."
"Don't worry, I spent a fortune on you, how could I forget?" Xiao Yan gently stroked her hair.
Soon, the banquet began to fill with people. Many, after seeing Ya Fei, greeted her politely, then respectfully greeted Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan just smiled and nodded to these people, without saying much. In the Xiao Clan or even the Dan Tower, these people wouldn't even be qualified to know him. Today, he was just playing a supporting role.
In fact, pursuing a woman and sales are sometimes the same. If you want a woman or a client to recognize you, the most direct and simple method is to provide them with what they need.
Some women like looks, some like wealth and power, of course, these are all external hardware.
The real core is still providing emotional value. Emotions are the key to taking the relationship to the next level. Pubfuture Ads For a strong woman like Ya Fei, men with looks, wealth, and power are nothing special to her, but what Xiao Yan could solve for her was her real problem.
This was a condition she couldn't resist, and the emotional value provided by their time together, coupled with the development of feelings over time, would make her truly fall in love with Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan's original intention was just to act as a figurehead, but this banquet brought him unexpected surprises.
A gray-robed elder entered the banquet hall, immediately silencing the lively atmosphere. The heads of many families present respectfully bowed to the old man.
"Elder Jia, Elder Jia, you've come." This was the first time they had shown such reverence to anyone other than Xiao Yan.
The gray-robed elder simply smiled and nodded at them before heading towards Xiao Yan.
"That old man must be Jia Xingtian from the imperial family," Xiao Yan quickly realized, though his gaze wasn't on the elder. Instead, he was focused on the mature woman behind him.
She had a stunning figure and exceptional looks, almost comparable to Ya Fei, though one was alluring and enchanting, while the other was somewhat heroic.
"Elder Jia, I didn't expect you to be here," Ya Fei said with a respectful tone.
After all, this was the last surviving ancestor of the Jia Ma Empire's royal family, rumored to be close to the peak of the Dou Emperor level.
Without Xiao Yan's appearance, this old man would have been the most powerful person in the Jia Ma Empire.
"Heh, I heard a distinguished guest has arrived in our Jia Ma Empire, and this old man certainly has to come and show my support today." Jia Xingtian nodded to Ya Fei, then turned to the young man in front of him.
The young man, who appeared to be fifteen or sixteen years old, radiated an aura that even made him feel a sense of danger. However, being the old fox that he was, he didn't reveal the shock in his eyes, but simply extended his hand and said, "Mr. Xiao Yan, it's a pleasure to meet you."
"Old Jia, right? The pleasure is all mine," Xiao Yan said with a smile, shaking the old man's hand.
"This is our Jia Ma royal family's most outstanding descendant, Yao Ye," Jia Xingtian indicated the woman behind him.
"Oh, Princess Yao Ye, it's nice to meet you."
Xiao Yan shook hands with the mature and attractive woman.
"I heard recently that Mr. Xiao Yan is a young hero, and seeing you today, you are indeed full of spirit," Yao Ye chuckled. "I wonder if I could have the opportunity to learn from Mr. Xiao Yan sometime?"
"Sure, sure," Xiao Yan nodded.
"You dare to seduce this young master? I'll show you how to get what you want!"
"Sister Yao Ye, there's plenty of time for studying. You're welcome to come to the Mite'er Family to learn anytime," Ya Fei suddenly said with a smile.
She knew exactly what Yao Ye was thinking.
"Hehe, Sister Ya Fei is jealous," Yao Ye chuckled lightly, gave Xiao Yan a slight bow, and then left with Jia Xingtian.
"You're interested in the princess too?" Ya Fei glanced at Xiao Yan, her long, beautiful eyes holding a hint of jealousy.
"Oh ho, our strong woman also gets jealous sometimes," Xiao Yan smiled slightly.
"Who's jealous of you?" Before Ya Fei could finish speaking, she noticed that Xiao Yan's gaze had turned back to the door.
Under the moonlight and lamplight, a pair of stunningly beautiful master and disciple, dressed in moon-white robes, slowly walked in. For a moment, even the moonlight seemed to dim slightly.
