Wang Biao's Blind Date

Although Xu Mu’s relationship with Wang Biao wasn’t that deep, just from the storyline—where Wang Biao was killed by the Dragon King’s men while protecting Xu Mu—he felt that Wang Biao was a very loyal person.

He definitely didn’t want Wang Biao to be played around by some woman.

Seeing these messages, Xu Mu got angry.

“Today’s Sunday, and I’ve seen so many women receiving bubble tea.”

Wang Biao immediately started transferring money.

“Hey, I was just about to message you today, my phone got stuck. All my friends have already switched to the newest iPhone.”

Wang Biao kept sending transfers.

“Look at this picture, does this gold bracelet suit me?”

Wang Biao sent another transfer.

…

Xu Mu roughly calculated that Wang Biao and this woman had known each other for less than a week, yet they had already spent twenty thousand yuan.

But he had to admit, this woman was really good at providing emotional value.

Every time Wang Biao transferred money, she would start praising him, reeling him in completely.

“Xu, what do you think?” Wang Biao asked curiously.

Xu Mu handed the phone back to Wang Biao. As a person with high emotional intelligence, he wouldn’t bluntly say, “This woman is just using you as an ATM.”

He calmly said, “Old Wang, you’ve spent about twenty thousand yuan. What do you think about that?”

“I think she’s a great person. I want to marry her.”

Wang Biao chuckled.

“Since you’re thinking about marriage, why not meet her in person? Relying solely on text messages, you don’t even know what she looks like or what her personality is like.”

Xu Mu looked at Wang Biao and said.

“I… feel a bit embarrassed.”

“You feel embarrassed, but she’s very comfortable with it. It’s only been a week, and she’s already made you spend twenty thousand yuan.”

Xu Mu said to Wang Biao, “How much is your salary again?”

“You’re right, Xu,” Wang Biao nodded. Spending like this definitely wasn’t sustainable.

Not to mention the money for a house and the bride price—he didn’t have enough, and he had no family support.

He took out his phone and took the initiative to send a message.

“Do you have time today? Let’s meet.”

“I’m a bit busy today.”

The woman replied immediately.

“Xu, I’m busy.”

Wang Biao looked a bit embarrassed and glanced at Xu Mu.

“Fool!”

Xu Mu snatched the phone away.

But it was precisely because of Wang Biao’s kind nature that he was so loyal—without any hidden agendas.

Xu Mu typed out a long message and sent it.

“In that case, I’ll have to meet with other blind dates today. I’m not getting any younger and don’t want to waste time.”

After sending the message, Xu Mu handed the phone back to Wang Biao.

Seeing this, Wang Biao hurriedly said, “Xu, won’t she get mad at you for saying that?”

“No.”

Xu Mu said calmly.

If it were an ordinary woman, she might get angry. But this kind of woman would definitely panic.

After all, if the ATM is about to run dry and leave, can she just sit still?

“Do you have other blind dates?” the woman’s message came through.

Xu Mu took the phone and replied, “A friend just introduced someone. My friend says that if you can’t get a date, it means the other person isn’t interested.”

“I canceled my girlfriend’s date. Let’s meet at noon. If I’m not interested in you, I wouldn’t say so much.”

The woman replied.

“See? You got the date.”

Xu Mu patted Wang Biao on the shoulder.

“Well done, Xu.”

Wang Biao’s face lit up with joy; he was eager to meet this woman as soon as possible.

“Remember to invite me for lunch today. I’ll be the one to give you the final approval.”

After saying that, Xu Mu left.

He had originally planned to help Wang Biao reach the realm of ancient martial artists.

But now, it seemed he would have to wait a little longer.

At the very least, Wang Biao needed to realize that this woman wasn’t trustworthy.

A decent woman wouldn’t dare ask a man to spend so much money before even meeting him.

Even if the man did spend the money, a good woman would immediately return the gift—she wouldn’t want to owe the man anything.

Wang Biao agreed with a nod; he also thought it would be good to go with Xu Mu.

Xu Mu was experienced and knowledgeable—perhaps he could really help identify the truth.

…

Xu Mu arrived in front of the office door. He first used his perception to check and found that Meng Wanyue was still washing up, so he didn’t go in.

Instead, he took the elevator to find Xu Shou.

Besides Wang Biao, he had a few other candidates in mind—first and foremost, his own family.

Xu Shou, Xu Ningbing, Ye Tong, and Ye Yu.

Especially the Washing Marrow Pill—it could improve one’s physical constitution and completely transform the body.

It purged impurities from within, laying a stronger foundation for cultivation.

Xu Mu planned to go home today and take one himself.

When he arrived at Xu Shou’s office, Xu Mu knocked on the door.

At the elevator entrance, he had already used his perception to confirm that both Xu Shou and Xu Ningbing were there.

“You came just in time.”

Seeing Xu Mu, Xu Shou smiled and said, “When do you think our new medicine will hit the market?”

“Let’s not talk about the company’s new medicine just yet. Let’s talk about my new medicine first.”

Xu Mu sat on the sofa, crossing his legs, and took out two Washing Marrow Pills.

Seeing the pills in Xu Mu’s hand, Xu Ningbing crossed her arms and raised her chin, “What disgusting thing have you been researching this time?”

“Disgusting? Then it’s not for you.”

Xu Mu tossed one pill toward Xu Shou, “Old man, catch this. Do you know what this is?”

Xu Shou raised his hand, brought the pill close to his nose, and sniffed. His expression changed, “Washing Marrow Pill?”

Xu Mu smiled—this old man really knew his stuff.

“Dad, what exactly is a Washing Marrow Pill?”

Xu Ningbing, curious about Xu Shou’s expression, asked.

“This tiny pill is called the dividing line,” Xu Shou explained. “Do you know why young people from top secret families or sects have such impressive strength at such a young age?”

Xu Ningbing stared at the pill, waiting for more.

“Besides the training they receive after birth, part of the reason is the Washing Marrow Pill. It can clear out years of accumulated impurities inside the body.”

Xu Shou paused before continuing, “Think of it like a car. You and Xiao Mu are both over twenty years old. If you take this pill, it’s like getting a major overhaul. Do you think your potential will still be the same?”

“I see now.”

Xu Ningbing finally understood why it was called the dividing line.

Ordinary people didn’t have access to such pills, but powerful forces did.

Their starting points in cultivation were simply different.

“Dad, you should take it.”

Xu Mu said to Xu Shou, “My sister thinks it’s disgusting, so she’s out.”

“Xiao Mu.”

Hearing this, Xu Ningbing immediately approached Xu Mu, twirling her fingers in front of her, speaking softly and earnestly, “Give me one, please.”

“Hahaha! Here, this one’s mine!”

Xu Shou chuckled, "I've been driving this car for fifty years; there's really no need for maintenance."

"No way! Some things have their limits."

Xu Mu shot a glare at Xu Shou, then took another pill. "Same as always, I just want to be alone for a while, to reminisce about my childhood."

Hearing this, Xu Ningbing’s usually cold and composed face showed a hint of unease.

But she still nodded softly, "Alright, let's go downstairs."

Seeing this, Xu Shou grew curious and asked, "What childhood?"

"None of your business!"

Xu Ningbing glanced at Xu Shou, then quickly grabbed Xu Mu’s arm and left.

Xu Shou took a sharp breath. Just now, Xu Ningbing’s expression was off.

Could it be that there really is something between those two?

He decided to stir the pot a little from now on.

……

Xu Mu was also stirring the pot. For some reason, with the threat of thunder hanging over his head, he actually felt at ease.

He closed his eyes and, through his senses, checked on Xu Shou upstairs, noticing that he had already taken the pill.
