Xu Mu nodded inwardly upon hearing this; it made sense. The other party's first reaction upon discovering Fu Jinyu's disappearance would definitely be to block the exits.
"What? Are you scared?"
Fu Jinyu's eyes turned sharp as she glanced disdainfully at Xu Mu.
"I'm not scared. I'm worried about you."
Xu Mu continued.
"Here, take it, take it!"
Fu Jinyu handed the teleportation token she was clutching to Xu Mu.
In her view, Xu Mu's words were just a ploy to get the token back.
"I really don't want this thing. It's not mine."
Even as he said this, Xu Mu still put it away.
He watched the heavy rise and fall of Fu Jinyu's chest and didn't urge her to hurry on. Instead, he sat down nearby to wait.
Fu Jinyu closed her eyes. It was a long time before she finally spoke. "Your medical skills are indeed quite good."
During the earlier clash with Xie Wangwei, she had suddenly felt the qi within her body leaking away.
This was clearly a sign of severed meridians.
And Xu Mu had diagnosed her injury just by taking her pulse.
"I'm not an expert, just have a rough understanding."
Xu Mu said calmly.
"Can you really heal me?"
Fu Jinyu looked at Xu Mu, asking uncertainly.
"As long as you can provide the corresponding rare treasures from heaven and earth, I can heal you."
Xu Mu wasn't lying to her. If she really couldn't provide them, he could still use his own power of destiny to repair them.
After all, he had plenty now. Even Xu Shouzhu's severed meridians could be repaired, let alone hers.
Observing Fu Jinyu's complexion and finding it had returned to normal, Xu Mu stood up and said, "Let's go out together."
"Alright."
Fu Jinyu nodded. "At the ruin's exit, I'll hold them off. You leave first."
"You're quite the good person."
Xu Mu smiled. "I'm almost regretting my 'thousand-year kill' on you."
Hearing this, Fu Jinyu's eyes narrowed slightly again. She had almost forgotten about that.
One thing was one thing. He saved her, and she would repay that. But the insult he dealt her, she would return it tenfold.
"What's your phone number?"
Fu Jinyu suddenly asked.
After they got out, she wouldn't know how to find Xu Mu, so she definitely needed to get his number.
"You alien races use phones too?"
Xu Mu looked at Fu Jinyu curiously.
"Some races do look down on using them, but we do. It's more convenient for passing messages, so why not?"
Fu Jinyu said flatly.
"But I don't have a pen here. Do you have one? A ballpoint pen or even a brush pen will do."
Xu Mu asked.
"No need. Just say it. I can remember."
Fu Jinyu stood with her hands behind her back, giving Xu Mu a cold, aloof glance.
Xu Mu nodded and recited his number.
No wonder she became an empress at such a young age; her memory was excellent too.
"Don't stop to watch the show later. I can hold them off for ten seconds at most. If you don't run fast and die, don't blame me."
Fu Jinyu warned.
"Don't worry. I think it's highly likely they won't be at the ruin's exit but will have chosen to leave instead."
Xu Mu said to Fu Jinyu with a smile.
The Cleaners had all been rescued. There was nothing left here to threaten the Sanitation Department.
If Xu Mu were them, he definitely wouldn't stay in the ruin.
Because the Sanitation Department would most likely send high-level Cleaners.
After all, a red-level Class-A fugitive was here.
"Hopefully."
Fu Jinyu muttered to herself.
...
Meanwhile.
Li Mopan had been waiting at the ruin's entrance. However, instead of the escaped Cleaners, he encountered a Cleaner coming in from the outside.
It was Du Yan.
"Du Yan, Second Captain of the Sanitation Department. I've heard of you."
Li Mopan smiled. "You have a grudge with Xie Wangwei. I'm curious about your relationship."
Du Yan just looked coldly at Li Mopan. "I have no interest in you!"
With that, he ran towards the depths of the ruin.
Just as he crossed the distant hill, he suddenly erupted with power.
The next moment, Xie Wangwei's figure appeared from the opposite hillside, swiftly running towards the ruin's entrance.
"Xie Wangwei! Stop right there!"
Du Yan chased closely behind.
But Xie Wangwei clearly had no intention of fighting Du Yan. He arrived before Li Mopan and immediately asked, "Did you catch any?"
"Haven't seen any trace of the Cleaners."
Li Mopan explained.
"Then they most likely already escaped. That Tianyao Clan woman also had a teleportation token, so she got away too."
As he spoke, Xie Wangwei had already reached the ruin's exit. "I'm pulling out first. Without hostages, if a high-level Cleaner shows up, we'll be in trouble."
Hearing this, Li Mopan's expression also turned uneasy. He thought what Xie Wangwei said was right.
If a high-level Cleaner came, he wouldn't be able to escape either.
Thinking this, he immediately followed Xie Wangwei, leaving the ruin together.
Outside the ruin.
Wang Qian had already made the call and was waiting quietly.
Suddenly, he saw figures emerging from the ruin.
"Xie Wangwei!"
Wang Qian's face changed dramatically, and he immediately shouted to the others around, "Everyone, scatter!"
Fu Nanshan quickly stepped in front of the Kunlun Mountain disciples.
"Don't be nervous. I'm just passing through."
Xie Wangwei glanced dismissively at the crowd and walked towards the deep mountains.
Li Mopan also appeared at this moment, following behind Xie Wangwei as they left the area.
Within a few breaths, Du Yan had already caught up.
"Where's Xie Wangwei?"
Du Yan asked.
"Xiao Du, let it go. Since he's already escaped, just drop it."
Wang Qian sighed deeply. "You can't possibly initiate a fight with him out in the open world, can you?"
Du Yan calmed his breathing, his eyes returning to their usual dullness. He leaned against a nearby tree and said nothing more.
...
At the same time.
Xu Mu and Fu Jinyu arrived together at the ruin's exit.
Fu Jinyu was surprised to find that Xu Mu had been right; they really weren't guarding the place.
The two left together. Seeing Fu Jinyu, the people around grew tense again.
"Brother Mu."
Chen Xuanyi didn't care at all, being the first to come to Xu Mu's side.
Jiang Huihui also came over and asked with concern, "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine."
Xu Mu shook his head, then looked around. "Everyone, I was able to rescue you all this time thanks to her help. I also promised to let her leave safely."
Fu Jinyu looked around with utter disdain. "If I want to leave, none of you can stop me."
"Stop putting on an act. Just go."
Xu Mu waved his hand at Fu Jinyu.
Fu Jinyu glanced at Xu Mu, then immediately turned and left.
The rescued Cleaners had already explained the whole story from beginning to end.
Knowing they owed much to Fu Jinyu this time, Wang Qian didn't say anything more.
He walked over to Xu Mu and said with a smile, "You've performed a great service this time. What reward would you like? I'll try my best to fulfill it."
Xu Mu took out the teleportation token from his person. "I'd like this item. I wonder if you would agree, Senior."
The function of the teleportation token was still significant; it could indeed save one's life at a critical moment.
Mainly, teleportation arrays could only be inscribed by high-level array masters.
Once Xu Mu became a high-level array master, he naturally wouldn't need this token anymore.
"Alright, I agree. I'll report it to my superiors."
Wang Qian smiled and nodded, then looked around at the janitors. "The crisis is resolved. Who dares to go in now and finish the enemy?"
Almost every janitor present raised their hand.
This included Fang Kui and the disciples from Kunlun Mountain.
"Wildfires cannot burn it all away; with the spring wind, it regrows."
Wang Qian's expression was calm. "I won't force the newcomers if they can't do it, but I must still state the mission: total annihilation, leave not a single one."
