"I wonder if the advanced auction has ended. Even if it has, I need to think of a way," Lin Mo sighed in his heart.

"Yingzi, let's prepare to leave Snow City. Let's go find Shen Feng first; perhaps she can provide some information."

Lin Mo put down his wine glass and said,.

"Alright, since you've returned, Master, I should also leave Snow City. But before I go, there are some things I need to take care of," Yingzi nodded and said.

Just then, the tavern door swung open, and a young man wearing light armor walked in, his gaze fell on Yingzi, "Miss Yingzi, I knew you'd be here. Young Master Lan Bo asked me to come find you."

Inside the tavern.

The young man smiled at Yingzi and then quickly turned his gaze to Lin Mo. He was a bit surprised to see Yingzi sitting with Lin Mo, knowing well that Miss Yingzi wouldn't casually drink with a man.

"Hmm, I understand. I'm planning to say farewell to Young Master Lan Bo soon."

Yingzi nodded, holding Lin Mo's arm, "Master, come with me. Once I finish my errands, we'll leave here and go find Sister Shen Feng."

"Alright, sounds good."

Lin Mo smiled slightly, raised his fruit wine, and took a sip.

The young man standing nearby looked at Lin Mo, his face slightly stiff, yet he politely nodded.

Cold energy filled the streets, covered with thick snow, as the three walked side by side.

"You're the master Miss Yingzi frequently mentions, right? My name is Mark Blans," the young man suddenly initiated a greeting.

"Hello, I'm Lin,"

Lin Mo responded with a smile.

Mark nodded and then closed his mouth, not speaking further. The three of them walked along the street for about ten minutes before a luxurious villa came into view. Snow City didn't have many ordinary residents, but it was frequented by cultivators. To be able to purchase such a lavish villa here indicated wealth or power.

The front garden of the villa was planted with some snow pines, their branches hung with sparkling icicles, crystal clear and shining.

"Mr. Lin, why not take a seat in the living room while Miss Yingzi and I go find Young Master Lan Bo?"

Mark said with a smile, then he called over a servant to lead Lin Mo to the living room for a short rest.

"Master, wait for me, I'll be back shortly."

Yingzi pursed her slightly rosy lips and said.

"Alright, you take care of your matters. I'll sit in the living room."

Lin Mo smiled, following the servant into the lavishly decorated living room, its walls adorned with precious oil paintings and exquisite items.

"Sir, would you like something to drink?"

"No need."

Lin Mo waved his hand, sitting directly on the sofa, quietly waiting.

Three years is not a short time. Yingzi, in her pursuit to find me, made some friends, and that Lan Bo was one of them. Observing the lavishness here, it's clear that Lan Bo is no ordinary person.

Behind the villa, the garden was vibrant with flowers blooming and lush green grass, contrasting starkly with the surrounding white snowy world.

Upon closer inspection, the corners of the rear garden contained charcoal racks, burning not ordinary charcoal but a kind of beast oil refined from fierce beasts. Once ignited, it releases intense heat, lingering for a long time, responsible for the flowers blooming in the back garden.

However, extracting the beast oil is a complex and difficult task, leading to its high price, making its use for ornamental flower cultivation a truly lavish affair.

"Miss Yingzi, Young Master Lan Bo is in the garden," Mark stopped and said with a smile.

"Hmm."

Yingzi responded softly, then stepped towards the back garden.

In the garden, a stone table and chairs were set up, and a young man with golden curly hair was sitting on a stone chair in a white coat, with a bejeweled knight's sword stuck in the ground beside him. Sweat beads dotted his forehead, evidently just done with sword practice.

Upon hearing footsteps, the golden-haired young man looked up with surprise in his eyes, "Yingzi, you're back."

"Young Master Lan Bo."

Yingzi nodded with a smile.

"Why stand there? Have a seat," Lan Bo said with a smile.

"Young Master Lan Bo, actually the reason I'm here to see you is to tell you that I'm leaving Snow City, consider this my farewell."

Yingzi suddenly said.

Lan Bo's expression froze, then his brows furrowed tightly, "Yingzi, you're leaving Snow City?"

"Hmm." Yingzi nodded, saying, "My master is back, so I need to leave Snow City with him."

"Your master is back?"

Lan Bo's face showed even greater shock. Three years ago, Lin Mo was harmed by Camper and fell into the multicolored light ice cave, entering the Fourth Region, the Life Forbidden Zone. Although Yingzi and Shen Feng escaped the Ice Plateau, she didn't leave Snow City and met Lan Bo. Due to the Lanbo family's influence, Yingzi always hoped to rely on their family to gather information about Lin Mo.

"Yes, he's back, and he's in the living room now. Young Master Lan Bo, thank you for taking care of me over the past three years, but I should be going now." Yingzi pursed her lips, speaking softly.

"Leaving so suddenly?"

Lan Bo's face showed a trace of loss, but he raised his head, smiling, "You stayed in Snow City for three years to find your master. Now that he's back, you should leave Snow City. However, there's something I've always wanted to tell you."

"Young Master Lan Bo, can we not say it?" Yingzi bit her small silver teeth, her lively eyes flashing with complexity.

Although Yingzi was simple-minded, she had grown into a young woman now, naturally understanding feelings between men and women. Though Lan Bo didn't say it, she could sense his thoughts.

"Alright, let me meet your master."

Lan Bo was stunned for a moment, then sighed heavily, quickly adjusting his state as he lifted his head to speak.

"Alright."

Yingzi nodded, turned around, and the girl gently exhaled a warm breath, forming a puff of white mist in the cold air.

In the living room.

Lin Mo was sitting on the sofa, deep in thought. Hearing footsteps approaching, he looked up to see Yingzi returning, but with a handsome young man beside her. With curly golden hair and brown eyes, he exuded elegance both in demeanor and posture.

Lin Mo stood up.

Upon seeing Lin Mo, Lan Bo was slightly surprised by his black hair and eyes, a restrained sharpness that gave off an unfathomable impression. However, he soon smiled and approached, "Hello, I'm Lan Bo."
