Living in the Same Residential Community as Meng Wanyue

Xu Mu was still pondering how to fan the flames when he saw the token in his hand flash with the light of an array formation.

The light then suddenly expanded to about a meter, and the next moment, Dai Xingluo emerged from within it.

"Brother, this thing is amazing."

Dai Xingluo picked up the transfer token in her hand and looked back at the tall mountain behind her.

Such a long distance, and she arrived in an instant.

"Enough chatter, get in the car first."

Xu Mu took the token from her hand and opened the car door.

Dai Xingluo immediately sat in the back seat, put her arm around Bai Yi's shoulders, and pouted, "Ah, you took it so quickly. Afraid your little sister would dirty this thing?"

"That's not what I meant. When my array skills improve in the future, I'll make you a whole bunch."

Xu Mu replied with a smile, turning his head.

"Look! Brother's starting to make empty promises to his little sister again."

Dai Xingluo looked at Bai Yi, "Yiyi, stay away from men like this in the future. Your big sister is already in too deep, can't get out now."

Hearing this, Bai Yi glanced somewhat sheepishly at Xu Mu. In fact, she rather envied Dai Xingluo.

"By the way, how did you transfer over? You didn't do it out in the open, did you?"

Xu Mu suddenly asked.

Transfer tokens were considered treasures even within the Sanitation Department and had to be returned promptly after use.

Let alone for a minor hidden family like the Dai family.

If they coveted Dai Xingluo's token, they might try to seize it regardless of the consequences.

"Don't worry, is your little sister that foolish?"

Dai Xingluo leaned back in the seat, "I said I needed to use the restroom. I only used the transfer token after I went inside. They didn't see it."

"That's good."

Xu Mu nodded.

Transfer arrays were advanced formations; even the simplest transfer array was a seventh-level formation.

To inscribe such an array onto a small token required at least a ninth-level array master.

Inscribing it onto a token was also extremely meticulous work, very time-consuming.

However, if Xu Mu later drew a high-level array master skill, he could mass-produce them.

"Brother, now that I've escaped like this, they'll definitely send people after me. I can't go back to the antique market for the time being."

Dai Xingluo grabbed the seat and leaned forward towards Xu Mu.

Hearing this, Xu Mu nodded inwardly, "You're right, you really can't go back there."

"How about little sister stays at your place then?"

Dai Xingluo suddenly used the sleeve of her Hanfu to half-cover her pretty face, "Brother mustn't get any funny ideas then, okay."

"Are you silly? If the Dai family is looking for you, the first place they'll check is the antique market, and the second is definitely my place."

Xu Mu said while driving, lost in thought, "How about I find a place for you two to stay here in Jiang City first?"

"Okay, but I have one condition. I want to live somewhere not far from brother, so I can see you every day."

Dai Xingluo grinned, her smile widening.

Xu Mu nodded, "Alright. How about I ask Wanyue if there are any vacant apartments for rent in her complex?"

"Meng Wanyue? Sure."

Dai Xingluo didn't know why, but she just enjoyed seeing a woman like Meng Wanyue get flustered.

The more flustered she was, the happier Dai Xingluo felt.

Xu Mu got on the highway and sent a message to Meng Wanyue.

Dai Xingluo also called Li Zizai and told him what had happened.

If he was afraid the Dai family would come to threaten him, he should close the shop for a few days.

"By the way, do you know about the situation between the Dragon King and the Dai family?"

Xu Mu asked curiously.

Since he wanted to fan the flames, he needed to know what stage things were at between the Dai family and Ye Chen.

"I'm not too sure either, just heard the gist of it."

Dai Xingluo roughly explained what they had discussed today.

Xu Mu nodded slightly, "So it was the Dai family who provoked Ye Chen first."

"That's just how these hidden families are, isn't it? Anyone coming to their turf gets a warning. They just didn't expect to hit a brick wall this time."

Dai Xingluo said, looking out the window.

Xu Mu thought of the Xu family, which had been the same way in the past.

Since Ye Chen had personally said he would visit the Dai family in the next few days, Xu Mu decided to hold off on fanning the flames for now.

...

Returning to Jiang City.

Meng Wanyue had already contacted the sub-landlord. There was a vacant apartment in the complex, in the same building unit as Meng Wanyue.

When Xu Mu arrived, he found Meng Wanyue waiting at the complex entrance.

"Brother Mu."

Seeing Xu Mu, Meng Wanyue quickened her pace and came up to him.

[Favorability +10]

"If I'd known she lived here, little sister wouldn't have come."

Dai Xingluo linked her arm with Xu Mu's.

Xu Mu was speechless. That's not what you said in the car earlier.

"You still have time to change your mind. We haven't finalized the lease yet."

Meng Wanyue looked at Dai Xingluo with a detached expression.

"Alright, that's enough."

Xu Mu clapped his hands once, "Let's get this settled quickly. Xingluo has some trouble lately and needs to lay low here for a few days."

Meng Wanyue gave Dai Xingluo a cold glance before nodding.

They arrived at the building entrance, where a woman in uniform was waiting.

Following her lead, Xu Mu and the others went up to the 18th floor.

Xu Mu remembered Meng Wanyue lived on the 16th floor, exactly two floors below.

Entering the apartment, he found it quite nice and promptly had the woman sign a six-month contract.

He even gave an extra five hundred as a tip.

"From now on, you two will stay here temporarily."

Xu Mu looked at Dai Xingluo and Bai Yi.

"Okay."

Bai Yi nodded with a smile.

"Brother Mu, I'll head downstairs now."

Meng Wanyue said to Xu Mu.

"For future cultivation practice, I think you could come find Xingluo. Your strength levels are similar; you could help each other improve."

Xu Mu patted Meng Wanyue's shoulder.

"Little sister won't spar with her. If I hurt her, brother will just blame me again."

Dai Xingluo said in a sarcastic tone.

"You hurt me? With your skills?"

Meng Wanyue sneered.

"Don't believe me? Want to try?"

"Bring it on! Who's afraid?"

...

"Stop!"

Xu Mu stepped between them, "Wanyue, you go downstairs first."

Meng Wanyue glared at Dai Xingluo before turning to leave.

Only after she left did Xu Mu sit on the sofa, take out ten Hongyuan Pills, and place them on the table.

Seeing this, Dai Xingluo's eyes went wide, "Brother, these are..."

[Favorability +15]

She knew the pills Xu Mu gave were never ordinary.

"Sixth-grade Hongyuan Pills. Similar to Qihai Pills. I was coming to find you to give you these."

Xu Mu explained, "Take one every three days for a month, and see how much your cultivation improves."

"I bet all your other little sisters have them too, don't they?"

Dai Xingluo sat down beside Xu Mu and sighed softly.

"Some do, but not many get as many as you."

As he spoke, Xu Mu took out another Qihai Pill, "Yiyi, you take this. I see you have exceptional bone structure and abundant vitality. You must be a rare talent for martial arts."

[Favorability +10]

"Master, but I'm not a martial artist."

Bai Yi, though grateful inwardly, didn't reach out to take it.

She had lived on Mount Lumang before and was very familiar with martial artists.

"This is a seventh-grade Qihai Pill. If you take this, you'll become a martial artist."

Xu Mu said with a smile.

Seventh-grade?

Hearing this, Bai Yi's face turned pale with fright, and she hurriedly waved her hands in refusal.

She felt she wasn't worthy; forget seventh rank, even a second-rank pill could buy her life.

"If you don't eat it, I'll have to stuff it into your mouth."

Xu Mu pretended to be angry.

Bai Yi didn't know why, but she just felt her nose sting, on the verge of tears.
