Song Nuanyang walked briskly out of the villa and happened to see Ye Yu in the yard.
"Sister Song, what did you and my brother-in-law talk about inside?"
Ye Yu asked with a smile.
Earlier, she had peeked through the window and saw Xu Mu sitting on the desk while Song Nuanyang stood by the door.
The two didn't have any close contact.
"The person who bullied me wasn't Xu Mu; it was indeed an impostor."
Song Nuanyang didn't want to say much to Ye Yu; right now, she just wanted to find Zhou Xia quickly.
But suddenly she froze. She had left the Yin-Yang Sect for many years; how would she know Zhou Xia's address?
She glanced back, feeling too embarrassed to go back and ask now.
So she added, "Xiao Yu, could you please ask your brother-in-law to give you Zhou Xia's phone number, and then you can send it to me?"
"My brother-in-law is right inside. You can go ask him yourself."
Ye Yu pointed at the villa.
"Are you trying to make me interact more with your brother-in-law?"
Song Nuanyang suddenly asked with a smile.
Hearing this, Ye Yu's expression changed abruptly. Right.
She had forgotten about that. Even though she and Song Nuanyang were currently in a cooperative relationship, it didn't mean she fully trusted her.
This woman wore heavy makeup, but her figure and looks were definitely in the category of a beauty.
It was better to be cautious.
"Hahaha! Sister Song, you really know how to joke. If you have things to do, go ahead first. I'll go ask him now."
Ye Yu waved her hand with a smile.
Song Nuanyang nodded slightly; the little girl's thoughts were too easy to guess.
She hurried to her car without stopping, got in, and locked the doors.
Only then did she take out the Fire Jujube and examine it carefully.
Even now, she found it unbelievable that Xu Mu had just given away such a precious Grade Eight heavenly treasure.
Thinking about it carefully, Xu Mu really had no ill intentions.
Putting herself in his shoes, he knew she was from the Yin-Yang Sect, and Ye Yu was his sister but was hanging around with someone from the Yin-Yang Sect.
It was perfectly normal for him to come over and test the waters.
Before coming here, she had also asked the shop assistants, and Xu Mu had indeed said he wanted a woman to go upstairs to help.
Obviously, he hadn't intended to do it himself from the very beginning.
However, because of the interference from those men in the shop, the situation had changed.
Right then, Ye Yu sent a phone number to her phone.
She immediately dialed the number.
All of this was just her speculation; she needed to confirm what kind of person Xu Mu really was.
If he was a trustworthy person, Song Nuanyang decided she would agree to a few of Xu Mu's requests in exchange for his help with the refinement.
The success rate of consuming the Fire Jujube directly was too low.
Such a thing was extremely rare to come by. If she couldn't enter the Mortal Shedding Realm this time, perhaps she would never have the chance for the rest of her life.
...
South of Jiang City.
In front of a small bar named Xiaguang, Song Nuanyang parked her car in an outside spot.
At this time of day, apart from the cleaning staff, there were hardly any customers in the bar.
As soon as Song Nuanyang walked into the bar, Zhou Xia, who was sitting in a booth nearby, quickly stood up.
She was wearing a tight skirt, had a large round face, and was slightly chubby.
This kind of woman, judging solely by her looks, was just an ordinary person and couldn't be considered a beauty at all.
However, with the enhancement of her makeup and demeanor, she actually exuded quite a bit of charm.
"First Elder! It's really you!"
Upon seeing Song Nuanyang in front of her, Zhou Xia's expression was full of shock. "You're still exactly the same as back then, almost no changes."
"I didn't expect you to be in Jiang City too."
Song Nuanyang looked at Zhou Xia. "I remember when I first left the sect, you were only twenty. You've changed quite a bit now."
"Now I'm old and fat."
Zhou Xia smiled. "Please come in, First Elder. There's someone else upstairs."
Song Nuanyang walked beside Zhou Xia and said softly, "It's called being voluptuous. Besides, the change I mentioned is your demeanor; your Soul-Snatching Art practice is coming along nicely."
Led by Zhou Xia, Song Nuanyang arrived at the second floor at the back of the bar.
After the two walked into a room, they saw a beauty with long black hair and a melon-seed-shaped face sitting on the sofa.
Her makeup gave off a 'green tea' vibe, but it had to be said that this kind of woman would indeed be liked by most men.
"First Elder, this is Han Tianqing. You might not remember her; when you left, she was only about five years old."
Zhou Xia explained, pointing at Han Tianqing.
"Hello, First Elder."
Han Tianqing immediately stood up and said respectfully.
Earlier, Zhou Xia had told her that this First Elder was of mixed foreign blood and would look very young.
She didn't expect her to look about the same age as herself.
"Sit down, both of you. Tell me what has happened in the sect over the years."
Song Nuanyang motioned for the two to sit.
Zhou Xia gave a general overview of the Yin-Yang Sect's recent years. She respected Song Nuanyang very much; when she first joined the Yin-Yang Sect, she had worked under Song Nuanyang.
"I see. I knew that with Han Hu taking over, the sect would definitely head towards a dead end, which is why I left early."
As Song Nuanyang said this, she suddenly looked at Han Tianqing. "You won't be angry that I'm talking about your father like this, right?"
"No, I hate him very much too."
Han Tianqing shook her head.
"So you're saying that with Xu Mu's help, the Cleaners caught the Second Elder's group, and now the Yin-Yang Sect has been destroyed."
Song Nuanyang said softly.
"That's right."
Zhou Xia nodded.
"What do you think of Xu Mu?" Song Nuanyang got to the point.
"He's a very good person, and incredibly strong despite his young age. In the end, he didn't sell us out to the Cleaners either."
Zhou Xia explained, "With the help of an older man, I opened this bar. Lately, I've been thinking about sending Tianqing to university so we can live an ordinary life."
"For the sake of cultivation, are you still hooking up every day?"
Song Nuanyang suddenly asked.
Hearing this question, Zhou Xia couldn't help but lower her head. "It's not that frequent. First Elder, you know that for those of us who practice Soul-Snatching, there is no turning back. Besides, I've never initiated it."
Right then, Song Nuanyang's phone rang. Her expression changed drastically. "What did you say?"
...
At this time, Xu Mu was sitting in the living room with Ye Yu and Bai Yi.
Calculating the time, Ye Yu's school was about to start soon. Her grades were very high, but she chose to attend a local university.
Regarding this, Xu Mu didn't say much.
Ye Yu's future achievements would not be low; whichever school she went to meant nothing to her.
Just then, within Xu Mu's perception, he noticed Song Nuanyang rushing over.
He couldn't help but smile; he didn't expect her to come back so quickly.
His goal was exactly this: to play the long game and let Song Nuanyang take the bait herself.
Song Nuanyang didn't ring the doorbell. Instead, she leaped into the villa, pushed the front door open, and walked in briskly.
"Xu Mu! You bastard! What did you do?"
Song Nuanyang growled lowly.
Before Xu Mu could speak, Ye Yu frowned beside him. "Sister Song, my brother-in-law and I have been here the whole time. He hasn't even touched his phone. What could he have done?"

Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement.

Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason!

Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune?

I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
