Of course, Dai Xingluo didn’t know Xu Mu’s true strength.
But she was certain that he was definitely above her.
That one-armed middle-aged man just now was incredibly powerful, yet he had come over specifically to help Xu Mu.
Putting these pieces together, Dai Xingluo drew a rough conclusion.
Xu Mu was at least a prodigy within his sect.
Dai Xingluo even wondered if she should quit her sect and join Xu Mu’s righteous yet somewhat unorthodox sect.
Then she smiled softly, saying, “He’s my man. Whether I join or not, what difference does it make?”
……
Xu Mu was already leaving the Nangong Family with Chen Xuan and Meng Wanyue.
Jiang Huihui had long since woken up and was sitting by the window, gazing outside.
She asked Xu Mu to take her to the sanitation department.
Xu Mu nodded in agreement.
When they arrived at the sanitation department, Jiang Huihui opened the car door, ready to get out.
“You said before—I agree.”
Xu Mu turned his head and said, “I’ll participate.”
Jiang Huihui’s eyes flickered in surprise, then she pulled out a piece of chewing gum from her bag. “Thank you.”
[Favorability +20]
Just as Xu Mu started driving away, his phone rang.
He glanced at it, surprised to see it was a call from Zhang Que.
“Senior.”
Xu Mu answered the call.
“The information I wanted has been obtained. I’m no longer the security guard there, just letting you know,” Zhang Que’s voice came through.
“Alright, I’ll inform Feng Yue,” Xu Mu replied.
“Mm.”
Zhang Que hung up after that.
Xu Mu stared at his phone, thinking that Zhang Que was probably heading to that ancient ruin.
He didn’t want to miss this opportunity.
It wasn’t that Xu Mu was desperate to get treasures from the ruins—in fact, he didn’t need them.
He didn’t need the powerful rare materials required to advance his realm.
Because he could improve simply by gaining experience points.
As for cultivation techniques, the more the better, but he could also obtain them through lotteries.
The real reason he wanted to go was to prevent the protagonists from getting those treasures.
Like Fang Chu and Ye Chen.
They had strong destiny ranks and incredible luck; they might actually get something valuable.
But if he got the treasures first, they wouldn’t have a chance.
That was why Xu Mu wanted to head to the ruins.
After some thought, he looked toward Chen Xuan, already having a plan in mind.
……
This time, Xu Mu didn’t leave Chen Xuan in Yang City but took him along to Jiang City.
He first dropped off Meng Wanyue, reminding her to continue taking her pills and diligently practice her cultivation techniques.
Meng Wanyue nodded silently. During the battle with Nangong Ping, she had realized her own strength was lacking.
Now, only Chen Xuan remained in the car with Xu Mu.
“Brother Mu, is there something you want to tell me?” Chen Xuan looked at Xu Mu.
“Old Chen, you know about the ancient ruins, right?”
Xu Mu suddenly asked.
Chen Xuan nodded. “Of course. My master once told me the legends—there are countless treasures inside.”
“If nothing goes wrong, I know the location of an ancient ruin. Interested?”
Xu Mu smiled at Chen Xuan.
“Brother Mu, of course I’m interested!” Chen Xuan’s eyes shone with excitement. “I’ve never been to a place like that before.”
“Alright, you’ll stay here for today. I’ll come pick you up tomorrow morning.”
Xu Mu parked the car in front of the Five-Star Hotel “Like a Gentle Breeze.”
He now had a rough idea of the area, but finding the exact entrance hidden deep within the mountains would be no easy task.
Fortunately, he had the protagonist Chen Xuan with him. With Chen Xuan’s destiny rank, maybe he could help locate it.
“Okay,” Chen Xuan nodded in agreement.
Xu Mu parked the car in the hotel’s front lot, and the two got out together.
Chen Xuan carried a urea-woven bag in one hand and a packed meal in the other, trailing closely behind Xu Mu.
The security guards here initially mistook Chen Xuan for a beggar.
But when they saw Xu Mu by his side, they were utterly shocked.
Everyone working at this five-star hotel knew Xu Mu.
After all, the hotel was named after him.
Could someone ordinary really be chatting and joking with Xu Mu?
The wealthy these days were surprisingly low-key.
Xu Mu approached the reception desk.
The receptionist on duty jumped up nervously. “Young Master Xu.”
“This is my friend. Book him a nice room and put it on my tab,” Xu Mu smiled warmly at the receptionist.
“Right away!” The receptionist was both honored and a little starstruck.
She remembered how Xu Mu used to act all arrogant whenever he came before, but now he actually smiled.
After completing the check-in, Xu Mu patted Chen Xuan on the shoulder. “Old Chen, I’m not going upstairs with you.”
“Brother Mu, thanks. I’ll wait for you,” Chen Xuan said with a smile, waving him off.
……
At the Chai Family residence.
Chai Wang had previously been invited to a banquet hosted by the Nangong Family, but he declined, citing illness as an excuse.
Now, sitting on the sofa and listening to the butler’s report, his heart was pounding in disbelief.
He couldn’t believe Xu Mu had become a disciple of a sect.
And Nangong Ping—the proud leader of a secretive and prestigious family—had been easily knocked down.
“Something’s gone wrong!” Chai Wang slammed his fist on the sofa.
With the sect backing the Xu Family now, openly competing against them was practically suicide.
But he had already boarded the treacherous ship with Fang Chu and Dai Dongyang.
If they forced him to be cannon fodder, what could he do?
Regret gnawed at him. He wished he had refused Fang Chu from the start.
……
At the Dai Family.
Dai Xuan sat on the sofa, his gaunt face propped up by one hand.
Dai Dongyang stood before him, recounting all that had happened.
“Dongyang, what do you think?” Dai Xuan asked calmly.
“I’ve never heard of this sect before. I think Xu Mu is exaggerating,” Dai Dongyang said firmly.
He still remembered the slap Xu Mu had given him.
He wasn’t about to let it go.
“I haven’t heard of them either, but their expert crushed Nangong Ping, which proves they’re no joke,” Dai Xuan pondered for a moment. “Let’s hold off for now. Our goal is the ancient ruins.”
Dai Dongyang nodded in agreement.
If they could get treasure from this expedition, the Dai Family would rise to new heights.
Who would still fear someone like Xu Mu then?
“I heard Xingluo is siding with Xu Mu this time?” Dai Xuan continued.
“That’s right. If it weren’t for Dai Xingluo, Xu Shou would definitely be dead!” Dai Dongyang’s face darkened.
“This Xu Mu is quite interesting.”
Dai Xuan showed a faint smile.
……
Another day.
Xu Mu arrived early at the hotel, having already informed Feng Yue yesterday about Zhang Que’s departure.
But Feng Yue didn’t seem to have any intention of leaving.
Almost every night now, she would be invited by Ye Tong to have dinner at his place.
Xu Mu was a bit puzzled—what exactly was Ye Tong’s intention?
“Mu Ge!”
Chen Xuan came out of the hotel carrying a woven bag filled with urea.
“I’ve bought breakfast. Let’s head out now.”
Xu Mu took Chen Xuan along as they set off toward the location where Nangong Ping was.
When they arrived at Lihua Village, something felt off.
It was clearly a small mountain village, and the overall condition of the buildings wasn’t great.
Yet the streets were filled with luxury cars.
Suddenly, Chen Xuan pointed ahead and exclaimed in surprise, “Mu Ge! My other fiancée!”
Dai Xingluo: Every single one!
