"Greetings, Young Miss Ya Fei." Chu Xiao took a few steps towards Ya Fei, smiling and nodding.
Ya Fei looked at the man before her, whose temperament had completely transformed. He was as handsome as jade, with a tall and upright posture, and an ethereal aura like an immortal. Her eyes became filled with resentment.
Even Little Fairy Doctor had sent her a letter scolding her, and Yun Yun must be stomping her feet in anger right now.
From a small clue, one can infer the whole situation. The other notebook copy holders must also be annoyed with her.
But she had already deliberately slowed her steps as she walked over. Finding an excuse to delay would not fit her image and could easily expose her.
This Chu Xiao, he's really killing me.
"Young Miss Ya Fei, why are you looking at me like that?" Chu Xiao showed a puzzled expression.
In reality, he was directly using the binding opportunity that refreshed daily in the notebook but could not be accumulated.
Ya Fei's reaction made it worth a try.
"Binding successful. Bound object: Ya Fei."
A piece of information was fed back.
"It really works."
Chu Xiao began to ponder in his mind.
It could be confirmed that Xun Er and Ya Fei had notebook copies.
It could be confirmed that Xiao Yan and Xiao Mei did not have notebook copies.
He guessed that Xiao Zhan, Fang Yi, and several Elders of the Xiao Family did not have notebook copies.
He guessed that Yun Yun had a notebook copy.
Was there a pattern here?
According to the notebook's hint, hidden conditions needed to be met for those people to possess notebook copies.
"Luck? After Xiao Yanzi and I Break through to Dou Di in the future, Mei'er's Aptitude and strength will definitely be among the top tier in the Dou Qi Continent, no problem at all."
"Is it some special aura? Or something else…"
There was too little confirmed information, so Chu Xiao decided to keep trying.
"Chu Xiao, you're really hard to see." Ya Fei leaned close to Chu Xiao, her tone resentful: "When I was in the Imperial Capital, I didn't have to wait this long to see someone. I even thought you looked down on me and deliberately avoided me?"
"Is that so?" Chu Xiao's eyes became playful: "The people you could see anytime in the Imperial Capital must have been women, right?"
"What do you mean by that?" Ya Fei's beautiful eyebrows slightly raised, and she subtly puffed out her chest: "Do you think I'm just average-looking?"
"Quite the opposite." Chu Xiao lowered his voice: "I heard that if any man approaches you, Mu Zhan will warn or even target them. Does your charm even need to be mentioned, Elder Sister?"
"You know quite a lot, little brother." A perfectly natural expression of surprise appeared on Ya Fei's face.
It seemed she hadn't expected Chu Xiao to know about her relationship with Mu Zhan.
"Naturally." Chu Xiao straightened up again, his hands clasped behind his back: "I also know that you need to achieve something significant to gain your Family's Pay attention to upon returning to the Imperial Capital, so as not to become a pawn in a political marriage."
"And I can help you with that."
Upon hearing this, Ya Fei's expression immediately became serious, as if she was contemplating something.
After a moment, a smile bloomed on her face again, and she asked, "Do you have time for a cup of tea, little brother?"
"I prefer Black Rock Mountain Cloud Mist Tea," Chu Xiao said.
"I love it too, and I happen to have a treasured collection. You and I are truly fated, little brother." Ya Fei made a gesture of invitation: "Please, come in."
Chu Xiao did not refuse and entered the VIP room with Ya Fei, chatting and laughing.
Only after the tea was brewed did Ya Fei ask, "How will you help me, little brother, and what conditions do I need to meet?"
"Please see, Elder Sister." Chu Xiao extended a hand, summoning a wisp of Thunder-Qi Imperial Flame.
Since it was confirmed that Ya Fei, like Xun Er, had a notebook copy, his attitude towards her would naturally be different.
In the future, he would also prepare many "future true plotlines" that could be verified for her in the notebook.
"Real flame!" Ya Fei suddenly stood up, her face showing a shocked expression.
On the Dou Qi Continent, unless one possessed a special flame, Alchemists could only summon flames from their palms after reaching the Fourth-grade. Before that, they needed to convert the fire-attribute Dou Qi within their bodies into a substantial flame through the peculiar transformation of a Medicine Cauldron's fire mouth.
Chu Xiao was exposing his strength as at least a Fourth-grade Alchemist.

[The notebook also has a live recording function. I'll try it out on Sister Ya Fei and record her surprised expression.]
"Huh, it updated again!?"
Thinking Chu Xiao wouldn't continue writing in the notebook, all the girls who had put away their copies moved in unison.
Even Feng Qing'er, who was rushing to Starfall Pavilion, paused her movements, and then saw an image.
"There's even a live recording function!" The girls were all startled.
In the future, they must not reveal anything in front of Chu Xiao, as that would allow the other notebook copy holders to discover clues.
"She really has the looks of a foxy temptress!" Medusa openly expressed her dislike for Ya Fei.
Qing Lin: "…"
When it comes to alluring and enchanting charm, few women can compare to you, Queen Medusa~
However, this Young Miss Ya Fei is indeed very beautiful, and her figure is also excellent.
All the girls' thoughts appeared the moment they saw the image.
Below, there was also Chu Xiao's thought, generated in an instant.
[Sister Ya Fei's biggest worry right now is how to get rid of Mu Zhan's entanglement. For this, she even ran from the Imperial Capital to Utan City, which isn't a high-ranking city, to avoid the limelight, and she desperately wants to achieve something so she can gain her Family's Pay attention to and not be used for a political marriage.]
[This is a very easy matter for me to resolve. In a few days, when I go to Stone Desert City to find Qing Lin and collect the Heavenly Flame, I can conveniently help Hai Bodong remove the Serpent Seal left by Cai Lin. At that time, when the Grand Elder returns to the Mittel Family, making Ya Fei the Family's spokesperson will only require a single word.]
[But for now, I'll let her think I'm a Fourth-grade Alchemist, let her decide to invest in me, and within the rules, help the Xiao Family deal with the Jia Lie and Ao Ba Families.]
[Although I can summon flames now, this is a Heavenly Flame brought back in my Soul. In fact, I don't know how to refine medicine. Memories of this aspect will only return after I reach the Central Plains. I once subdued a special Beast Flame with a wood attribute in a ruin, which gave me the Aptitude to become an Alchemist.]
[However, in this life, relying on the Heavenly Flame, perhaps I can find Yao Lao earlier to teach me how to master alchemy. In my previous life, I was able to become the foremost Great Grandmaster Alchemist in the Major Thousand Worlds, so there's absolutely no problem with my Talent.]
All the girls: !
"Hai Bodong, he's the Ice Emperor who competed with me for that special incomplete map back then and was subjected to my Serpent Seal."
"He's still alive, and he's even near Stone Desert City."
A flicker of interest appeared in Medusa's narrow eyes.
Back then, Hai Bodong had fought with her to snatch the incomplete map. Although he was no match for her and was sealed by her, the incomplete map was taken away by him.
If she were to use her Seal to sense and find that guy now, wouldn't she be able to snatch the incomplete map back?
But this thought only lingered in her mind for a moment before vanishing without a trace.
Looking at the notebook's content, Hai Bodong and Chu Xiao clearly had a close relationship and he could even escort Ya Fei.
There was absolutely no need to make an enemy for an incomplete map whose purpose was unknown.
Having been sealed all these years, Hai Bodong must not have had an easy time. That was punishment enough for fighting her and snatching her things.
"Refining a wood-attribute Beast Flame can also grant one Alchemist Talent?"
Cao Ying's eyes lit up, feeling that she should try it when she had time.
For the Cao Family, hunting high-level Demonic Beasts with Beast Flames was not difficult.
If devouring such Beast Flames could fulfill the requirements for an Alchemist, then the Cao Family could mass-produce Alchemists.
Of course, the prerequisite was still to have sufficiently powerful Soul power, and the Cao Family happened to possess a secret technique that could enhance Soul power.
"I knew there would be a payoff. This time, I'll reluctantly forgive you for keeping me in suspense."
Cao Ying took out her Medicine Cauldron and began refining medicine.
Inside the Mittel Auction House in Utan City, Ya Fei read through the notebook content at a glance, relying on her strong willpower to keep herself from exclaiming.
So the disappearance of Grand Elder Hai Bodong was related to Queen Medusa. No wonder no news had spread at all.
The flame in Chu Xiao's hand was not a real flame, but an even rarer Heavenly Flame.
"I'll play along with your act."
Ya Fei's face showed an excited expression, and her body trembled.
"Chu Xiao, are you, are you a Fourth-grade Alchemist?"
