After learning the cause of his original father's death, Mo Yu began to formulate a preliminary plan. The influence of the Mo family was considerable but not insurmountable.
In the Gama Empire, the Mo family could be considered a major force, especially since the top ten strongest individuals in the empire were only at the Dou Wang level, while the Mo family had a Dou Ling, which gave them significant dominance in their region.
With his original talent, Mo Yu could only hope to reach the level of a Fighting Master at most, making any attempt at revenge against the Mo family virtually suicidal. This was likely why his grandfather had always refused to reveal the cause of his father's death.
However, with his current abilities, Mo Yu viewed the Mo family as merely a larger obstacle. Given a few years to grow stronger, even a Dou Ling would not be his match.
Putting this matter aside for the moment, Mo Yu turned his thoughts to another important issue.
…
In Xun'er's boudoir at the Xiao family residence.
This was Mo Yu's first visit to a girl's boudoir since his rebirth, and he felt somewhat hesitant. Nevertheless, knowing that he would need Xun'er's help for an upcoming task, he decided to go ahead with his request.
"Cousin Mo Yu, it's rare to see you here. What brings you to my place today?" Xun'er, dressed in a green top that accentuated her growing figure, greeted him with a calm and ethereal voice.
Mo Yu, picking up the tea that Xun'er had personally served, noted its faint fragrance. He chuckled and said, "Haha, I came to ask for your help with something before I leave. I hope it's not too much of an imposition."
"Oh?" Xun'er's eyes sparkled with curiosity. "It's unusual for cousin Mo Yu to need my help. But since I remember the kindness you showed to Brother Xiao Yan, I'll do my best to assist you if I can."
Mo Yu felt relieved hearing Xun'er's willingness to help. In the Douqi Continent, if Xun'er, as the young master of an ancient clan, offered her aid, nearly 99% of problems could be resolved.
He sipped the tea, feeling the energy it imparted to his body. Mo Yu smiled slightly and commented, "This is excellent tea. Even the Jia Ma Empire's royal family might not afford such luxury. The power behind you must be quite extraordinary."
Understanding that Mo Yu was alluding to the source of her tea, Xun'er responded with a smile, "For certain reasons, I can't reveal the power behind it. I hope cousin Mo Yu will understand. However, if you need to use my connections, I have some influence in that regard."
Mo Yu appreciated Xuner's understanding and straightforwardness. He knew that her reference to the power behind her was a modest expression of her significant influence. Since she was already willing to help, Mo Yu decided to be direct about his request.
"Cousin Xun'er, could you use your connections to help me locate the Strange Fires ranked at the bottom of the Strange Fire List? Please inform me as soon as you have any news."
Xun'er's eyes widened slightly at the mention of Strange Fire, but she remained composed. "Searching for Strange Fire is a considerable task, but it doesn't faze me. May I ask why you need it?"
Mo Yu thought about the lightning flash he had previously used in the market and understood that Xun'er might be wondering why he needed Strange Fire. He replied, "For specific reasons, I require the lower-ranked Strange Fire. If you find any information, please let me know. And of course, if you're unable to find any leads or feel uncomfortable doing so, it's perfectly fine. I won't hold it against you."
Xun'er smiled warmly and said, "You're too polite, cousin Mo Yu. Although finding Strange Fire is challenging, it's not impossible. Please give me three days, and I will get back to you with any news."
"Thank you, cousin Xun'er. If I have the chance, I will definitely repay your kindness in the future." Mo Yu was impressed by Xuner's ability to promise information within three days, knowing how vast the Douqi Continent was. Her ability to provide such quick updates was a testament to her ancient clan's mysterious power.
Xun'er's gentle smile remained as she added, "There's no need to be so formal. You've been very kind to me and Brother Xiao Yan."
After their discussion, Mo Yu left Xuner's boudoir. As he departed, Xun'er watched him with a calm demeanor, her thoughts seemingly deep and reflective.
After a moment of silence, Xun'er's voice took on a hint of authority as she spoke, "Come out..."
A green shadow detached itself from the surrounding shadows and knelt respectfully before Xun'er. "Miss."
"You heard cousin Mo Yu's request, correct? Inform the family and mobilize resources to find the distribution of the Strange Fire at the bottom of the Strange Fire List within three days."
The green figure hesitated before responding, "Miss, the Douqi Continent is vast, and even the Jia Ma Empire is only a small part of it. Finding the information within three days would require significant resources. This authority is granted only once every two years. Are you sure you want to use it to help Master Mo Yu?"
Xun'er responded calmly, "Cousin Mo Yu has done us and Brother Xiao Yan a great favor. I cannot refuse his request."
The green figure, understanding Xun'er's character well, nodded in agreement. He knew that once a favor was acknowledged, it had to be repaid, especially when Xiao Yan was involved.
As the green figure prepared to leave, Xun'er added, "And I believe that one day, my ancient clan might benefit from cousin Mo Yu's kindness..."
The green figure was taken aback by her words. The Ancient Clan was one of the eight strongest clans, and Mo Yu was just a young talent from a small town. If Xun'er believed he could become a significant figure in the future, it was a noteworthy prospect indeed.
