"What does Senior Brother mean by this? I'm just an outer sect disciple, and I haven't even learned the sect's powerful techniques. Am I not allowed to leave the sect now?"
Dai Xingluo's face was expressionless.
"Of course you can leave the sect, but not now. The Heavenly Sword Sect just promoted you to the inner sect, and you choose to leave? Isn't that a slap in the face?"
The long-faced man said in a low voice.
Dai Xingluo's expression gradually turned cold. "If I'm not mistaken, it was Zhao Gang who sent you, wasn't it?"
"This has nothing to do with Zhao Gang. It's the elder's command."
A flicker of surprise passed through the long-faced man's eyes, but he still replied flatly.
"You can go back. Just say that in a few days, we will come personally."
Xu Mu took a step forward, shielding Dai Xingluo.
According to what Dai Xingluo said, she hadn't returned all these years, only running into Zhao Gang at the previous ruins.
Now, suddenly, the sect wants to make her an inner sect disciple. You don't need to think to know whose doing it is.
"What are you? How dare you interfere in the affairs of our Heavenly Sword Sect?"
The long-faced middle-aged man snorted coldly.
"What kind of thing is your Heavenly Sword Sect? My Zhengye Fa Xie Sect could trample you flat!"
Xu Mu pointed at the long-faced man. "I said, we will come over later ourselves. Leave now, or don't blame me for being rude!"
The long-faced man originally wanted to say something but gave up.
He was just an ordinary member of the inner sect disciples. If a real fight broke out, he might not even be a match for Dai Xingluo.
The disciples of Qingmu Mountain all knew that Dai Xingluo was unable to enter the inner sect precisely because she offended Zhao Gang.
Her true strength was even greater than most inner sect disciples.
"Dai Xingluo, I will report this matter truthfully."
After saying this, the long-faced man glanced at his companion beside him, and they left together.
After they left, Dai Xingluo immediately hooked her arm through Xu Mu's. "Brother, you were so manly just now."
[Favorability +15]
"I was pretending."
Xu Mu glanced at Dai Xingluo and then asked, "What's the relationship between your Heavenly Sword Sect and the Demon Sword Sect?"
Because he suddenly remembered that back at the ruins, after he used the Phantom Sword, Zhao Gang immediately attacked him.
"They're considered enemies. When we first became outer sect disciples, we were taught that the Demon Sword Sect and we are irreconcilable."
Dai Xingluo explained.
"If that's the case, then there's trouble."
Xu Mu stroked his chin in thought.
"What happened?" Dai Xingluo asked, puzzled.
Xu Mu didn't hide it either and told her about encountering Zhao Gang at the ruins this time.
Li Zizai, who was wiping porcelain, looked up and said, "Then you'd better not go to the Heavenly Sword Sect. If you go, Zhao Gang will definitely exaggerate the story, and then the elders or even the sect master of the Heavenly Sword Sect might take action against you."
Dai Xingluo also nodded. "That's right, brother. How about you don't go? I'll go alone."
"No. If you go, you might not come back. I definitely won't let you walk into danger."
Xu Mu looked at Dai Xingluo. "I'll think of a way these next few days."
[Favorability +10]
Dai Xingluo looked at Xu Mu, her eyes full of emotion. "Brother~"
"Alright, enough of the sappiness. Don't go anywhere during this time. Focus on cultivating hard."
As he spoke, Xu Mu took out two Qi Sea Pills from his person. "I only have two left. I'll give them both to you. See if you can break through to the Divine Ability realm soon."
Both Dai Xingluo and Li Zizai were stunned. Was this Xu Mu running a wholesale business for pills?
But even if it was wholesale, shouldn't seventh-grade pills be rare items?
How many had he already given Dai Xingluo?
[Favorability +20]
"Brother, you keep them for yourself."
Dai Xingluo looked at the pills in Xu Mu's hand. Although she really wanted them, one shouldn't be insatiably greedy.
"Just take them when I tell you to!"
Xu Mu grabbed Dai Xingluo's hand, placed the pills in her palm, and then left.
The Heavenly Sword Sect was, after all, a proper sect, not so easy to deal with. The higher Dai Xingluo's realm, the safer she would naturally be.
Xu Mu needed to think of a perfect strategy.
Dai Xingluo looked at the pills in her hand, then at Xu Mu's retreating back, and whispered softly, "Brother is so domineering. I love it."
[Favorability +20]
...
After leaving the antique market, Xu Mu prepared to return to Jiang City. Saying he only had two Qi Sea Pills left was, of course, a lie to her.
He had previously drawn a Qi Sea Pill gift box that he still hadn't opened yet.
Speaking of gift boxes, he remembered he still had a ten-draw lottery he hadn't used.
He pulled the car over to the side of the road and opened his system.
Changing locations for the draw this time, maybe he could get something good.
He clicked the roulette wheel, and it began to spin.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 30 cultivation points.]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 20 attribute points.]
Xu Mu leaned back in his seat. He didn't expect that changing locations still resulted in the opening double consolation prizes.
However, this time he hoped they would all be consolation prizes. That way, he could advance again.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a third-grade Natural Treasure gift box.]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Heaven-grade technique, Demon's Protection.]
Damn!
Xu Mu cursed inwardly. Was this system doing it on purpose?
The Heaven-grade technique he worked so hard to obtain at the ruins this time, he just drew it from the lottery.
But then, Xu Mu shook his head slightly. To be honest, there were some benefits.
Originally, this technique required cultivation, but now that he drew it, he directly mastered it.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 30 cultivation points.]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a second-grade Natural Treasure gift box.]
...
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 20 attribute points.]
It ended with consolation prizes. This time, he finally drew a Heaven-grade technique, but he already had it.
Still, overall it wasn't bad. This time he gained 120 cultivation points and 80 attribute points.
He immediately added all these points to himself.
Suddenly, he felt himself break through another barrier.
The Qi inside his body began to surge violently, rushing through his meridians.
A long time passed before black characters appeared before his eyes.
[Congratulations to the host for entering the late Divine Ability stage.]
Xu Mu clenched his fist tightly. Red dots of light appeared from the pores on the back of his hand. These dots had almost connected into a sheet, completely covering the back of his hand.
He checked his status panel.

Identity: Villainous Saint Body, HR Manager of Xu Corporation

Xu Mu nodded inwardly. Very good. Continuing like this, he would enter the Grandmaster realm before long.
He restarted the car, preparing to return to Jiang City, but noticed an electric scooter parked nearby.
The person on it was Jiang Huihui.
Xu Mu opened the car door and said with a smile, "Huihui, what a coincidence, running into you here."
"I'm investigating a wanted person. I saw your car parked here on the surveillance footage, so I came to check."
Jiang Huihui's face looked somewhat haggard.
