Xu Mu glanced at Nalan Shisan. "Let's forget about it for today. I feel that your emotions are still a bit unstable. Get a good rest tonight."
Nalan Shisan was slightly stunned, then smiled. "Xu Mu, you really are a true gentleman."
From their previous interactions, Nalan Shisan knew very well that Xu Mu had never despised her.
When it came to that kind of thing, a man couldn't fake it.
She could clearly feel that Xu Mu was very interested in her as a person, or rather, in her body.
An ordinary man would have chosen to take advantage of a woman when she was emotionally unstable.
But Xu Mu told her to calm down.
This man was indeed different from the ones she had met before.
[Favorability +20]
...
Xu Mu bid farewell to Nalan Shisan and walked to the side of a deserted highway. He took his car out of his storage space.
Sitting in the car, he glanced at his phone. It was already nine o'clock at night.
Xu Mu stretched forcefully. He had to admit, that feeling of being accepted and accommodated was truly wonderful.
Starting the vehicle, Xu Mu drove away. He needed to prepare in advance for the upcoming Martial Arts Championship.
According to the usual plot tropes, the male protagonist would appear at every major event.
Moreover, the male protagonist would usually obtain some fortuitous encounter. Xu Mu definitely had to go and see it for himself this time.
He rushed home through the night. When he arrived at his bedroom, he found that Ye Tong was actually not there.
He immediately expanded his perception. Everyone within a one-kilometer radius entered his sight.
Tong Guoguo was lying in bed looking at her phone, while Dai Xingluo was watching a palace drama.
As for Meng Wanyue, she was already asleep, clearly a disciplined person.
Over at Feng Yue's house, Ye Tong was surprisingly sharing a bed with Feng Yue.
"Since when did these two get along so well?"
Xu Mu muttered softly.
However, at this hour, both of them were already asleep. Xu Mu didn't disturb them and simply lay down to rest by himself.
...
Early the next morning.
Xu Mu sensed someone approaching. Upon opening his eyes, he saw the bedroom door being pushed open as Ye Tong walked in.
"Hubby, when did you get back?"
Ye Tong walked toward the bed.
Yesterday, upon learning that Xu Mu wasn't coming back, she immediately went to find Feng Yue.
Right now, the two of them were grasshoppers tied to the same string. They had been discussing how to deal with Xu Mu yesterday.
They fell asleep while chatting.
When she came back this morning to cook, she discovered Xu Mu's car parked in the garage.
"I came back last night. I noticed you were over at Feng Yue's place, so I didn't bother you."
Xu Mu said with a smile.
Ye Tong nodded slightly. She wasn't surprised that Xu Mu knew where she was; after all, her husband was incredibly strong.
"Rest a bit longer. I'm going to make breakfast, I have to go to work in a while."
After saying that, Ye Tong turned and left.
Xu Mu dozed for a little longer before getting up to wash up.
Ye Yu had been staying at school these past few days, busy with who knows what.
Not having anyone at home calling him brother-in-law felt a bit unusual.
Just then, Xu Mu's phone rang. He took it out and saw it was his old man, Xu Shou.
"Where are you fishing now? Having the free time to call me so early in the morning?"
Xu Mu said after answering.
"Boy, have you heard of the Martial Arts Championship at Kunlun Mountain? If you haven't, go with your sister to find Wei Jingzhi right now. He'll tell you about it."
Xu Shou's voice came through the line.
Hearing this, Xu Mu's eyes grew serious. "What do you mean?"
"You have a master now, but Ningbing doesn't. I was thinking of letting her join a sect to cultivate systematically."
Xu Shou explained on the other end, "I just got off the phone with her, and she gladly agreed."
"You sure speak fast. I could introduce her to my master. The cultivation techniques I recently got from my master are Earth-grade at the very least. What sect would be so generous?"
Xu Mu immediately retorted into the phone.
His true intention was definitely to keep Xu Ningbing close to him.
Following him would undoubtedly be better than any sect. Whether it was pills or cultivation techniques, he had the best.
Of course, Xu Mu also had a selfish motive: Xu Ningbing possessed a Level 10 Destiny.
Keeping her by his side would provide him with a continuous stream of Justice Points.
"Think about it yourselves. I'm just informing you about this tournament because it has rich rewards."
Xu Shou chuckled on the phone.
"Alright, got it."
Xu Mu nodded.
After hanging up, he heard a car parking outside. Checking with his perception, he found that the person entering was none other than Xu Ningbing.
"Little Mu."
Xu Ningbing pushed the door open and walked right in.
"Not going to work early in the morning, how do you have the free time to come over here?"
Xu Mu casually tidied up his bowls and chopsticks.
"Dad just called you, right? Do you know about that tournament thing? He said if you didn't know, we should go ask Wei Jingzhi together."
Xu Ningbing sat down next to Xu Mu, looking quite eager.
"What did the old man tell you?"
Xu Mu asked with a smile.
"He said this martial arts tournament is the best choice for people like us to enter a top-tier sect. He wants me to participate and hopes I join the Hanxian Sect."
Xu Ningbing explained, "He said this sect is quite suitable for me."
Xu Mu nodded slightly; he remembered this sect.
It wasn't described much in the original plot. It was just that Xu Ningbing suddenly disappeared, and when she reappeared, she was completely reborn.
When Ye Chen asked her where she had been during that time, Xu Ningbing mentioned she had gone to the Hanxian Sect.
Xu Mu was very conflicted. Logically speaking, Xu Ningbing should encounter some fortune after joining this sect.
Under normal circumstances, he would definitely agree to let her go.
But if she stayed with him, he could provide even more cultivation resources.
Ultimately, Xu Mu decided to leave the choice to her. "What are your plans?"
"Me? I don't even know if I can be selected by this sect yet."
Xu Ningbing said softly.
"And if you are selected?"
Xu Mu knew that those sects didn't only pick the winners.
For example, with Xu Ningbing's current realm at the early stage of Divine Ability, if she could easily defeat experts at the middle or even late stage of Divine Ability during her matches...
Even if she got eliminated early on, many sects would still have their eyes on her.
"Little Mu, I don't want to leave you... and Dad. After all, with Dad away, the company still needs me to manage it."
Xu Ningbing paused abruptly while speaking, then added, "If I really get selected, I'll negotiate with them. I can join them, but I need to come home often."
Xu Mu nodded slightly. "Alright, I understand."
After that, he explained the specific situation to Xu Ningbing.
If they were going to go, they would go together.
Not long after Xu Ningbing left, Xu Mu used his perception to see his neighbors Meng Wanyue, Dai Xingluo, and Tong Guoguo jumping directly over the wall into his courtyard.
Xu Mu considered whether or not he should tell them about this matter.
In the end, he took the initiative to go out and call out to them.
