Xu Mu was a bit confused at first, but then he understood the meaning. As expected of someone from the Yin Yang Sect, he felt inferior by comparison.
He deliberately pretended not to understand and said, "Sister, but I don't have a fork here."
Zhou Xia giggled. It seemed she had encountered a pure young man who didn't even know what she was talking about.
Men like this were usually the easiest to manipulate.
Before she could say anything more, Xu Mu pulled the car over to the side of the road.
"Sister, we're at the subway entrance."
Xu Mu reminded her.
Zhou Xia had originally wanted to say more, but she didn't expect the ride to be over so quickly.
However, since his friend lived next door to her, she could still run into this man in the future.
"Thank you, little brother. Sister will be going now."
Zhou Xia opened the car door and left.
Xu Mu took a deep breath, remembering that he had mentioned Ye Chen's name earlier.
He wasn't currently sure about the relationship between the Yin Yang Sect and Ye Chen.
If they were enemies, Xu Mu would definitely leak Ye Chen's current whereabouts.
If they were friends, he could also gather evidence and inform the Cleaners about Ye Chen's collaboration with the Yin Yang Sect.
"Forget it, I'd better head back first."
Xu Mu shook his head and drove off, preparing to go home.
But on the way, Xu Mu received a call from Dai Xingluo.
He answered it and asked, "Xingluo, what's wrong?"
"Brother, are you busy right now? Your little sister here has run into some trouble. Of course, it's fine if brother can't come."
Dai Xingluo's pitiful voice came through the phone.
"What happened?"
Xu Mu immediately asked.
"I've run into some trouble. It's not convenient to explain over the phone. Brother, can you come find me at the Antique Market?"
After saying this, Dai Xingluo hung up.
Xu Mu glanced at his phone and immediately drove towards Yang City to find Dai Xingluo.
...
Antique Market.
Xu Mu parked his car outside and walked in.
When he arrived at the antique shop, he found that besides Dai Xingluo and Li Zizai, there were two other middle-aged men.
As soon as Xu Mu walked in, Dai Xingluo immediately came over. "Brother."
"Xingluo, what's going on?"
Xu Mu asked curiously.
"They're from the Heavenly Sword Sect."
Dai Xingluo pointed at the two middle-aged men in front of her.
One of them, a man with a long face, looked at Xu Mu and said indifferently, "So you're Dai Xingluo's husband?"
"Huh?"
Xu Mu looked at Dai Xingluo with a bewildered expression.
Seeing the pleading look in Dai Xingluo's eyes, Xu Mu nodded. "Yes, that's right."
"Dai Xingluo is an outer disciple of our Heavenly Sword Sect. After deliberation by the elders, we have decided to admit her into the inner sect."
The long-faced man said calmly, "We are here today to take her back."
Hearing this, Xu Mu understood why Dai Xingluo had asked him to come.
He smiled and asked, "Can I discuss this with my wife?"
"Fine. Don't take too long."
The long-faced man said calmly.
Xu Mu glanced at Dai Xingluo, and the two of them walked up the wooden staircase to the second floor.
Entering an antique-style room, Xu Mu noticed a sword hanging by the bed.
It was different from the scabbard Dai Xingluo had last time.
He walked over, drew the long sword, and found that the silver blade had hints of gold on it. It was indeed a weapon of the Jiuli tribe.
"You've already had the scabbard made this quickly?"
Xu Mu looked at the scabbard, which was inlaid with jade and had some openwork designs; it was very beautiful.
"Old Li's craftsmanship is still very strong."
Dai Xingluo sat down on a nearby chair.
"Speak. What are your thoughts?" Xu Mu asked, turning around.
"Out of the blue, why would they want me back? It doesn't take a genius to guess it's Zhao Gang's doing."
Dai Xingluo smiled as she looked at Xu Mu. "Of course, little sister doesn't want to go."
"Can you refuse? Or simply leave the Heavenly Sword Sect?"
Xu Mu asked curiously.
"If I refuse, I'll be charged with defying the sect and be taken away by force."
Dai Xingluo continued, "If I want to leave the Heavenly Sword Sect, I still need to go there and let the elders of Green Wood Mountain decide."
"Generally speaking, would the elders agree?"
Xu Mu continued asking.
"For outer disciples, as long as you offer some rare treasures as compensation for the years of training, you can leave."
Dai Xingluo explained. "But for inner disciples who have learned Profound-grade techniques, it's not that easy."
"What a hassle."
Xu Mu stroked his chin in thought, then looked at Dai Xingluo. "I'll listen to you. Whatever you decide, I'll help you."
As the saying goes, trust those you employ. Xu Mu had now given Dai Xingluo Qi Sea Pills and Earth-grade techniques.
The treatment was almost the same as Meng Wanyue's.
To put it bluntly, he considered her one of his own. Since Dai Xingluo was in trouble, he was definitely going to help.
[Favorability +15]
Dai Xingluo's face was filled with emotion. Pouting, she stood up and threw herself at Xu Mu. "Brother~"
"Stop!"
Xu Mu reached out and pressed his hand against Dai Xingluo's forehead, preventing her from getting closer. "Cut it out with that act."
"Then what act does brother want?"
Dai Xingluo asked, blinking playfully.
"Go to hell! Looking at you, you don't seem worried at all."
Xu Mu pushed Dai Xingluo away.
"Of course I'm worried. It's just that I'm too moved. No one has ever been this good to me before."
Dai Xingluo was genuinely touched.
Bullied at home since childhood, she wasn't the type to just take it; she fought back.
But all it ever brought was more severe bullying.
In the sect, because of her looks, many men took the initiative to be nice to her.
All it brought was jealousy from other women, being targeted by senior sisters who had entered the sect earlier.
She really felt fortunate, fortunate to have met Xu Mu.
"I've decided to leave the sect."
Dai Xingluo took a deep breath and looked at Xu Mu. "Brother, to be honest, the pills and techniques you've given me are things I could never obtain in a lifetime at the Heavenly Sword Sect."
Xu Mu nodded. That was certainly true. "Alright, then I'll go with you to the Heavenly Sword Sect. But it probably won't be possible in the next few days."
"Don't worry about that. Since I'm withdrawing, I can ask them for a few days' grace."
After saying this, Dai Xingluo pulled Xu Mu downstairs with her.
The long-faced middle-aged man downstairs saw them and asked calmly, "Have you finished discussing?"
"I don't want to be an inner disciple. I've decided to leave the Heavenly Sword Sect."
Dai Xingluo looked at the middle-aged man and stroked her lower abdomen. "To be honest with you, I'm carrying brother's child."
Hearing this, Xu Mu couldn't help but scratch his head awkwardly.
This Dai Xingluo really told lies without batting an eye.
"I'm tired of that life of fighting and killing now. Within a week, I will personally go to the Heavenly Sword Sect to inform the elders."
As she spoke, Dai Xingluo looked at Xu Mu again, her eyes filled with endless tenderness.
She seemed to have truly become a virtuous wife and loving mother.
Xu Mu almost couldn't help but applaud. That look alone felt like something Xu Ningbing would need a lifetime to learn.
Hearing this, the long-faced middle-aged man's expression turned somewhat unfriendly. "Dai Xingluo, I feel you are not showing our Heavenly Sword Sect any respect!"

ey change clothes. Li Chuan contributed all his possessions, only to find that things were not as they seemed. Almost a year after joining, he hadn’t managed to get a single Daoist consort. Thinking he had been deceived, he was approached by a stunning senior fellow disciple who asked if he would like to form a spiritual bond. For those who don’t practice cultivation, they might not know what “forming a spiritual bond” is. Let me put it this way: A long-term relationship is called a “Daoist consort,” while a short-term relationship is known as “forming a spiritual bond.” From then on, Li Chuan discovered the true way to interact with the Yin-Yang Sect’s Daoist consorts. As long as he had enough spirit stones, he could form a spiritual bond with anyone, Whether it’s Senior Sisters, aunts, Daoist consorts of aunts, female elders, Daoist consorts of elders, or even the Daoist consort of the sect leader, anyone can form a spiritual bond as long as there are enough spirit stones.” I've already joined the Yin-Yang Sect, and you're telling me to focus on cultivation? Do you even know what the Yin-Yang Sect is all about?
