Not only was Dai Dongyang stunned, even Dai Xuan was dumbfounded.
As Tantai Quan walked towards them, even the terrifying thunder seemed to tremble violently.
It made Dai Xuan feel a bit dizzy.
Originally, such a figure was already top-tier, but her face, her gaze, every smile and frown was truly filled with allure.
Dai Xuan immediately opened the car door, stood with his hands behind his back, and walked towards Xu Mu.
Seeing his father's expression, Dai Dongyang's face darkened in turn.
It had happened like this before; he would fancy someone, only for Dai Xuan to take her in the end.
Clearly, he had the same idea this time.
"Little brother, are you in trouble?"
Tantai Quan arrived with a smile, "Just beg your sister, and I'll help you."
"Well, well! This sister has quite a big... mouth! Do you know who we are?"
Dai Dongyang touched his nose, sizing up Tantai Quan, but his eyes were completely uncontrollable.
Drawn to that deep ravine.
Tantai Quan didn't even glance at Dai Dongyang, her smile remained directed at Xu Mu.
"I won't beg you. If I die, I die. It's not like anyone cares anyway."
Xu Mu spread his hands and laughed.
"Heh, beautiful, if you beg me, I might consider letting Xu Mu go."
Dai Xuan glanced at his son first, then looked at Tantai Quan.
His meaning was obvious: he had taken a liking to this woman.
He wanted Dai Dongyang to stay away from her.
In his view, men were monogamous by nature, always fond of young, beautiful women.
At his age, this was exactly the type of beauty he liked.
"Dad!"
Dai Dongyang was somewhat displeased. The last woman he had fancied was snatched away by Dai Xuan.
His old man usually acted aloof and calm, but the moment he encountered a woman, his legs turned to jelly.
This time, he wouldn't back down.
Dai Xuan grabbed Dai Dongyang's hand and pulled him to the other side of the car.
"Dongyang, you're still young. This woman's waters run deep; you can't handle her."
Dai Xuan patted Dai Dongyang's shoulder with a grave tone. "Your father's hands are big; I can handle her."
Dai Dongyang looked unhappy. "Dad, at your age..."
"Shut up! Do you still want to inherit the position of Dai family head or not?"
Dai Xuan directly cut him off. "At your age, you should be focusing on cultivation and hard work. Women will only slow down your progress. I'm doing this for your own good!"
Despite his intense dissatisfaction, Dai Dongyang didn't dare to voice it.
The position of family head was indeed something he coveted deeply.
After all, there was still Dai Wenlin at home, watching like a tiger. Although his strength might be inferior, he was very skilled at handling people.
Not to mention Dai Xuan and Dai Feiying, even his own birth mother had told him that Dai Wenlin had many good qualities he could learn from.
But Dai Dongyang knew very well that this person was putting on an act; his heart was black as pitch.
When they were young, the one who bullied Dai Xiao and Dai Xingluo the most was him.
After all, Dai Xiao was still his own blood brother.
If he made Dai Xuan resent him and let Dai Wenlin become the family head, he felt there would be no place for him in the Dai family in the future.
"You're right, Dad."
Dai Dongyang said, following behind Dai Xuan.
At that moment, Dai Xuan and Dai Dongyang returned to where Xu Mu was.
Dai Xuan pointed at Xu Mu and said, "I advise you to hand over Dai Xingluo's address. Otherwise, you will definitely regret it."
Tantai Quan suddenly raised her hand and gave a light clap.
From the passenger seat of the Land Rover Range Rover, a tall, dark-skinned man wearing sunglasses stepped out.
The man looked to be around forty, standing half a head taller than Xu Mu.
He came to stand behind Tantai Quan, slightly bowing his head.
"These two are threatening my brother. Drive them away."
Tantai Quan said indifferently.
"Yes."
The sunglasses man nodded respectfully.
"Heh, beautiful, it seems you still don't know who we are."
Dai Dongyang sneered. "We are from the hidden family, the Dai family..."
"Get lost!"
The sunglasses man suddenly appeared in front of Dai Dongyang.
"How dare you!"
Dai Dongyang glared angrily. He, a young master of a hidden family, a future successor.
A mere bodyguard actually dared to look down on him.
He immediately gathered his strength and struck towards the sunglasses man's chest.
Boom!
A dull thud echoed in the air, but the sunglasses man remained completely unmoved.
"My turn!"
The sunglasses man sneered, raising his arm and throwing a punch.
Thud!
Dai Dongyang was instantly sent flying, landing on the road several meters away, blood trickling from his mouth.
"You're looking for death!"
Seeing this, Dai Xuan erupted with power, points of light appearing on the back of his hand.
He threw a punch towards the sunglasses man's face.
But the man easily caught his wrist. "Insignificant ant! You should be grateful we're in the mundane world!"
Boom!
The sunglasses man kicked Dai Xuan, sending him flying.
Dai Dongyang, who had just gotten up from the ground in the distance, was knocked down again by the flying Dai Xuan.
"Dad, are you okay?"
Dai Dongyang shouted from underneath.
"I'm fine."
Dai Xuan stood up from the ground, his gaze grave as he looked at the sunglasses man.
His strength was absolutely far superior. Then he looked at Tantai Quan.
That Hanfu she was wearing... could she be from a sect?
"Let's go!"
Dai Xuan immediately got into the car. Ordinary hidden families were completely unqualified to be mentioned in the same breath as sects.
Dai Dongyang's face was also full of resentment. Could it be that this Xu Mu really knew so many important figures?
After the Dai family car left.
Tantai Quan took out a match, lit her slender jade pipe, and said, "Little brother, does this count as your sister helping you out of a tight spot?"
"It doesn't count. They weren't even worthy of putting me in a crisis."
After saying that, Xu Mu turned around. "Wait for me here."
With that, he quickly ran to the villa's living room. He found a random red plastic bag in the kitchen, opened his storage space, took out sixty Hongyuan Pills from inside.
Then, carrying the plastic bag, he returned outside.
"Here, sixty pills, not one more, not one less."
Xu Mu handed the red plastic bag to Tantai Quan.
Taking it, Tantai Quan smiled and said, "You're really frugal, not even a gift box."
"I'm already giving you a cheap price, and you still want a gift box? Dream on."
Xu Mu waved his hand. "Our transaction is complete."
"Little brother's alchemy skills are indeed impressive. To finish so many pills in just a few days."
Tantai Quan handed the plastic bag to the sunglasses man beside her.
"You overestimate me. I just finished these sixty first, to give you what you need. The rest aren't done yet."
Xu Mu had to play down his abilities; he couldn't reveal too much too obviously.
"Even so, it's impressive enough."
Tantai Quan said with a smile. "If there's nothing else, we'll take our leave. Let's continue cooperating in the future."
Xu Mu gave a slight nod.
Tantai Quan and the sunglasses man got back into the car. The driver immediately turned around and drove away.
In the car.
Tantai Quan leaned back in her seat, gazing out the window, and quickly said, "Do a spot check."
The sunglasses man tied the bag shut, shook it back and forth several times to mix up the pills inside, then pinched one and put it in his mouth.
He felt the power emanating from within his body, his face full of astonishment. "It's even a bit stronger than the Qi Sea Pills you prepared before."
"This Xu Mu..."
Tantai Quan narrowed his eyes into slits.
