Xu Mu had previously given Ye Tong and Ye Yu healing pills just in case they encountered any danger, leaving them a way to save their lives.
But Ye Yu was clearly alive and kicking, so obviously, she wasn't the one who was injured.
Since Xu Mu didn't have anything else to do at the moment anyway, he decided to follow them.
He didn't intentionally disguise himself. Tracking the two of them was a piece of cake for Xu Mu.
As long as he kept his distance, they wouldn't be able to see him, but he could see them and even hear their conversation.
Ye Yu and Bai Yi walked out of the villa area and quickly headed toward a Wuling Hongguang Mini parked nearby.
Ye Yu drove the car herself, taking Bai Yi with her as they left.
What the hell?
Xu Mu walked out, scratching his head in surprise. Where did she get a car? I haven't bought her one yet, have I?
He scanned a shared electric scooter nearby and followed behind the small Wuling.
After winding through several streets, Xu Mu saw Ye Yu and Bai Yi park the car in front of a coffee shop.
This coffee shop wasn't a franchise; it was an independent, no-name store.
Coupled with its very remote location, there was hardly anyone around.
Xu Mu didn't go right up to the front of the coffee shop, but stood at the intersection of the street.
From here, he could already see everything inside.
After Ye Yu and Bai Yi walked in, they headed to a room on the second floor. Seven or eight young men and women bowed one after another when they saw Ye Yu.
Sister Yu!
Well, well.
Seeing this, Xu Mu couldn't help but laugh. This Ye Yu was really something.
Sneaking around doing big things. It should be known that she was not like Lu Xueyao from before.
Lu Xueyao's subordinates were all petty thugs, but the people on Ye Yu's side were no ordinary folks.
Most of them had mastered Mingjin, which meant they had officially stepped through the door of becoming ancient martial artists.
Behind these people was a woman, around twenty-five years old.
She had smoky makeup, straight black hair, and wore heavy cosmetics on her face. She was dressed in a mink coat, with black silk stockings and boots on her lower half.
This kind of woman's attire looked very much like a bar hostess.
She sat weakly on the sofa, coughing occasionally.
This is a healing pill. Eat it quickly.
Ye Yu walked toward this woman and handed her the pill.
Where did you get this pill?
Although the woman asked this, she didn't stand on ceremony. She reached out, took it, and swallowed it.
In almost an instant, the woman's eyes widened as she felt a burst of pure energy spreading to every part of her body.
After taking it, she straightened up from the sofa. The grade of this pill is extremely high. It was definitely crafted by a powerful alchemist.
I told you before.
Ye Yu sat opposite her on the sofa and asked, How did you get injured this time?
I ran into an expert and barely managed to escape.
The woman shook her head gently and then said, If you want money, you just need to sell the pill you just gave me. Pills are definitely worth a fortune, and I have the channels for it.
You still don't understand what I mean. Making money is only one aspect. The other aspect is that I need everyone to fight.
Ye Yu explained, Only through battle can we become stronger. The few of us right now are still too weak.
Sister Yu, are we still weak?
A young man in his twenties was somewhat dissatisfied.
He felt like he was unrivaled in the world, defeating anyone in just one or two moves.
That's because you haven't met a true powerhouse.
Ye Yu suddenly erupted with her aura, and the young man instantly felt as if a massive mountain was pressing down on him, collapsing to the ground on the spot.
Seeing this, the people around were not too surprised.
They had long known that this little girl in front of them was unfathomably strong.
With our current strength, we couldn't even deal with half of a hidden family.
Ye Yu looked at the people around her. I made it very clear before. My short-term goal is to be able to stand on equal footing with the hidden families.
Hidden families... those are lofty, wealthy families. They control the economic lifeline and have an unknown amount of resources in their hands.
A woman with dyed brown hair sighed, With just us, is it really possible?
Of course it's possible. As long as you follow my methods, you can absolutely do it.
Ye Yu said to the woman.
Little Yu, do you have a grudge against a hidden family?
The woman sitting on the sofa suddenly asked, If that's really the case, I'll help you get revenge directly.
No! I just want to help my family. I want to make him look at me with new eyes.
After Ye Yu finished speaking, she continued, Once your injuries are healed, continue to teach us cultivation.
Alright.
The woman brushed her long black hair back. Little Yu, I have a feeling that you really might achieve something great.
I'll take your word for it. I'll leave the car here.
After saying that, Ye Yu left with Bai Yi.
Xu Mu didn't follow them. Instead, he waited until they left and then slowly walked toward the coffee shop.
In the original plot, Ye Yu would create an organization.
Later, on a certain day, she would suddenly help Ye Chen solve an urgent crisis.
However, Xu Mu had changed the plot. Ye Yu's current goal was definitely to help him in the future.
But he had to check and see if Ye Yu was being used.
The young people here were all trash, not worth fearing at all.
Even if they had bad intentions, they couldn't hurt Ye Yu.
However, that woman sitting on the sofa was probably not an ordinary person.
Xu Mu walked into the coffee shop, and the machine by the door automatically chimed, Welcome.
Hearing the sound, a young woman upstairs immediately walked down. Hello, sir, what would you like to drink?
I'm not here to drink coffee. I want to chat with your boss.
Xu Mu said with a smile.
Our boss? What do you want?
The woman asked curiously.
I just want to talk to your boss.
Xu Mu said with a smile, It's a big business deal!
Hehe, sir, please come upstairs.
Just then, the heavily made-up woman from earlier walked out smiling by the railing on the second floor.
Xu Mu nodded slightly, walked up the stairs, and arrived in front of the woman.
Right this way, sir!
The woman led Xu Mu to a corner by the window on the second floor. She took the initiative to sit down and asked with a smile, What do you want to talk about?
Xu Mu followed behind her, observing her carefully. She had a very well-proportioned figure.
She was slender and tall, with curves in all the right places.
Although she wasn't in the same heavyweight tier as Xu Ningbing and Fu Jinyu, she was still considered a great beauty.
However, she had smoky makeup and false eyelashes on her face.
This kind of makeup gave off a very cheap first impression, reminiscent of low-class professions.
Xu Mu sat opposite the woman and used his Divine Eye to check her identity.
When he saw the information, Xu Mu was instantly dumbfounded.

to panic—he has a system. As long as an investment target dies, he can claim a reward. And since he is immortal, the one thing he has plenty of is time. ... Countless years later. “Immortal Emperor of Longevity? I invested in him.” “Supreme Celestial Venerable? I invested in him.” “Undying Empress? I invested in her.” “...” “Heh. Once they’ve all died, even the Heavenly Dao will have to kneel and call me Dad.”
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.

The kitchen knife he casually forged became a peerless divine weapon, causing numerous experts to fight desperately for it. The young disciple he took in became an immortal lord that led an era, due to cultivating the techniques Ye Feng taught him.
