I Am Your Senior Sister

Xu Mu, as a judo expert, had been too focused on his earlier display and hadn’t had the chance to survey his surroundings.

He immediately sharpened his senses and detected a woman in the distance.

She wore loose black athletic clothes, a black mask covering her face, and sunglasses over her exposed eyes.

Xu Mu’s eyes narrowed slightly—this build and height could only belong to Dai Xingluo.

Dai Xingluo emerged from the woods and saw the disheveled woman in Xu Mu’s arms.

For some reason, an overwhelming surge of killing intent rushed to her head.

Testing Xu Mu hadn’t been her idea in the first place—it was Li Zizai’s suggestion.

Later, she’d agreed, since Xu Mu could recognize an Earth-grade technique.

But she never expected the assassin she’d hired to capture Xu Mu so effortlessly.

When she arrived, Dai Xingluo had still felt guilty.

After all, Xu Mu had never provoked her—he’d even helped her and gifted her a technique.

Yet now, this wretched woman had dared lay hands on the man she fancied.

How dare she!

She had a death wish!

Fuming, Dai Xingluo stormed toward Xia Sihan.

Suddenly, a steel nail shot from her hand.

Xia Sihan’s eyes widened. Though her body hadn’t fully recovered, her vision was sharp enough to see clearly.

The target wasn’t Xu Mu—it was her.

And it was aimed straight for her head, a lethal strike.

If it hit, she’d die on the spot.

Xia Sihan seethed with resentment.

In her prime, she could’ve dodged this easily.

But now, her body was still weak.

If she’d known death was coming, she would’ve died with her purity intact—why had she let Xu Mu fulfill her dream for nothing?

Despair gripped her heart.

Ding!

Just as she resigned herself to fate, the steel nail froze two centimeters from her left eye.

A closer look revealed Xu Mu’s two fingers pinching it midair.

Xia Sihan stared in disbelief.

Dai Xingluo, standing farther away, was equally stunned.

"Attempting murder without even asking for an explanation? You deserve to die."

Xu Mu rose with icy calm.

He took a step forward, swinging his arm—a sword-like ripple of energy surged from his body.

Whoosh!

The blade of energy grazed past Dai Xingluo’s ear.

BOOM!

A deafening crash followed.

Trembling, Dai Xingluo turned her head—only to see a tree as thick as a washbasin sliced clean through.

The massive trunk toppled, unable to support its own weight.

CRASH!

The entire forest shook, sending flocks of birds scattering in panic.

Countless wood fragments rained down like a storm.

"Get lost."

Xu Mu’s voice was frigid.

Without hesitation, Dai Xingluo turned and fled.

She reached the road below the woods, jumped into her car, and tore off her sunglasses and mask, tossing them onto the passenger seat.

Panting, she broke into a twisted grin.

[Affection +30]

"Xu Mu… my Xu Mu! Hahaha! As expected of the man I chose!"

She slammed the accelerator, and the car roared forward.

Meanwhile, Xia Sihan was still reeling from Xu Mu’s technique.

"You… how do you know the Demon Sword Sect’s Illusory Sword?"

Xu Mu blinked in surprise. This move was actually from the Demon Sword Sect?

"I…"

"To wield the Illusory Sword with such power—are you Wu Anning’s disciple?" Xia Sihan grabbed his arm.

"The elder who taught me did share that surname, but I never learned his full name."

Xu Mu played along.

He couldn’t exactly say the System gave it to me.

"I knew it!" Xia Sihan excitedly gripped his shoulders. "He’s alive, isn’t he?"

[Affection +20]

"I wouldn’t know. I haven’t seen him in at least five or six years."

Xu Mu studied her. "You know him?"

"Of course! By seniority, I’m your shijie!"

Xia Sihan slowly stood up.

"I’m older than you," Xu Mu pointed out with a smirk.

"Seniority is based on who entered the sect first. Even if I were three years old, I’d still be your shijie!"

She smacked his shoulder. "Since you’re my junior, I’ll forgive you. I was planning to castrate you once I recovered."

"Some gratitude. I used my hands to fulfill your dream. If you want payback, you could always use your hands to fulfill mine."

Xu Mu shot her a look.

"In your dreams!"

Xia Sihan’s face flushed crimson as she elbowed him. "I’m your shijie—show some respect! If word of this gets out, I’ll saw your head off."

"Relax. I’m a man of principle."

"Your shijie has urgent business. Let’s exchange contacts—I’ll reach out later."

Xia Sihan pulled out her phone.

Xu Mu didn’t refuse.

By now, Xia Sihan had mostly recovered. After bidding him farewell, she headed deeper into the forest.

Xu Mu, hands in his pockets, strolled toward the road below.

For a brief moment, he had considered killing Dai Xingluo outright.

But after unleashing his phantom sword, he redirected his strike at the last second.

Still, this woman was truly venomous. Xu Mu decided it was best to keep his distance from her in the future.

Stepping onto the highway, Xu Mu made a call. Twenty minutes later, an Audi A6 pulled up in front of him.

Zhang Shuaikai stepped out of the car, his expression respectful. "Young Master Xu, what are you doing here?"

"Just out for a run. Realized I couldn’t make it back on my own."

Xu Mu slid into the driver’s seat and glanced at Zhang Shuaikai. "Get in."

"Right."

Zhang Shuaikai nodded and took the passenger seat.

Xu Mu drove back to the riverbank where he had left his own car.

After parking beside it, he stepped out and said, "You can head back now."

With a quick acknowledgment, Zhang Shuaikai drove off.

Xu Mu returned to the riverbank below the highway but found no trace of Du Yan.

Even Dai Xiao’s bodyguard had vanished.

Settling into his own car, Xu Mu hesitated briefly before sending Meng Wanyue a message, asking her to drive to the Yang City branch office.

Tonight, he planned to act. Since the lead involving Dai Xingluo was a dead end, he would resort to other methods—like pitting the Dai family against the Feng family.

But first, he needed to get his hands on the video of Chen Cai and Dai Xiao.

He refused to believe Feng Kang would stay idle once the footage went public.

At the Yang City branch of the Xu family’s company, Xu Mu spotted Li Yun the moment he entered the lobby. She hurried toward him.

"Xiao Mu."

After days of discreet inquiries, Li Yun had finally uncovered Xu Mu’s identity.

Turns out, the Xu Corporation in Jiang City belonged to his family.

Chairman Xu Shou was his father—no wonder even the branch manager treated him with such deference.

Xu Mu studied Li Yun in her uniform. Despite her demure appearance, her presence was undeniably striking.

"Auntie, how have you been these past few days?" Xu Mu asked with a smile.

[Affection +20]

Li Yun returned the smile, genuine gratitude in her eyes. "Very well."

She felt she owed Xu Mu too much, unsure how to repay him.

Rumors had already begun circulating in the company—

Some claimed she was Xu Mu’s lover, which was why she’d landed such a cushy job.

She wondered if she should mention it to him.
