As Expected of a Senior, Such Thick Skin

However, Xu Mu definitely had to pretend he didn't know.

He cupped his hands slightly in greeting, Senior, is there something you need from me?

As he spoke, he used the Eye of God to inspect the old man.

Name: Zhang Qinghe

Identity: Supreme Elder of Kunlun Mountain

Favorability: 5

Destiny Level: 7 (Max Level 10)

Xu Mu nodded inwardly. It seemed his guess was correct. For a character not tied to the protagonist, a Destiny Level of seven was already an incredibly strong existence.

Take Yun Yao for example; he had no connection to the male lead whatsoever, and his Destiny Level was also seven.

If no accidents happened along the way, his future achievements might rival those of Zhang Qinghe right in front of him.

Nothing much, just heard an old friend mention your name and wanted to see for myself.

Zhang Qinghe stroked his beard, sizing Xu Mu up.

He was very clear about Jiang Cisu's talent. For this young man to fight Jiang Cisu to such a standstill while being a whole major realm weaker, just how strong could he be?

Jiang Zhenqi, I came looking for you last time but you weren't around, and Shui Yan was also in seclusion. Now I've finally met you.

Hao Yang tilted his head back for a swig of wine and looked at Jiang Zhenqi.

Senior, I already heard from others about the purpose of your last visit, but I couldn't reach you. You looking for me must be because I ranked you alongside those juniors, right?

Jiang Zhenqi shook his head slightly, I really just mentioned it casually. If you mind, Senior, I can tell the whole world right now that your strength is on a completely different level from theirs.

No need.

Hao Yang waved his hand, My head wasn't quite right before, and I cared too much about these empty titles. I'm fine now, and actually feel it's nothing to fuss over.

Jiang Zhenqi smiled but said nothing.

You can step down first. I'm going to have a chat with this kid.

Zhang Qinghe waved Jiang Zhenqi away.

Yes.

After saying that, Jiang Zhenqi turned and left.

Now, only Xu Mu and the other two were left.

Zhang Qinghe smiled at Xu Mu, Kid, stop pretending in front of me. Tell me the truth, what is your master's name?

I don't know. He never mentioned his name, just said he was a farmer.

Xu Mu said with a smile.

Do you have a way to contact him?

Zhang Qinghe continued to ask.

No, my master said before that he doesn't like being disturbed. I'm sorry, Senior.

Xu Mu feigned apology.

He could only say this. He couldn't possibly lead them to meet a master who didn't even exist.

Alright, Shui Yan, don't mind it. It's enough for us to know that this child has an expert for a master.

Hao Yang shook his head slightly.

Every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. If he really is a hidden expert, how can he stay out of things at a crucial juncture like this?

As Zhang Qinghe spoke, he turned to Xu Mu, Next time you see your master, you can mention my name and tell him I want to meet him.

I will pass on the message.

Xu Mu nodded.

Come on, let's exchange contact info. You can message me directly when the time comes.

Zhang Qinghe took out his phone.

Okay.

Xu Mu walked over to Zhang Qinghe and unlocked his phone.

Zhang Qinghe did the same. As he unlocked his phone, the sound of a video suddenly blared out.

Xu Mu glanced at the screen, though he had already seen it through his perception earlier.

This old granny was spinning and jumping with her eyes closed, which really tested her technical skills.

If it were Youyoufan, whom they had met earlier, she wouldn't be able to spin like that even given the chance.

What's going on? I usually only read literature and history, why is it pushing this sort of indecent stuff to me?

Zhang Qinghe frowned slightly and immediately swiped to the next video.

What greeted his eyes was a woman in black stockings, deliberately showing off her long legs.

He kept swiping.

Another dancing video.

Swiped again!

It was a live stream of pole dancing.

Zhang Qinghe shook his head slightly, a hint of disappointment in his eyes, Sigh, this superficial world is full of filth. Why would it push these things to me?

Senior, that's because you followed her.

Xu Mu said, pointing at his phone screen.

As expected of an old senior, unfazed in a crisis and still able to maintain his composure. This level of thick skin was indeed beyond ordinary people.

Uh... when did I follow this kind of person? I clicked by mistake, it was an accident.

Zhang Qinghe handed the phone to Xu Mu, Help me unfollow her. I'm just an old man, I don't understand phones.

Alright.

Xu Mu clicked on the person's profile and unfollowed the woman, Senior, big data is actually quite easy to change. Just search for a few topics you like and watch them more often, and it'll be fine.

Speaking of this, he tapped the search bar and saw a string of search history below.

Huge knockers.

Peaches.

I don't want this, I want the ones with no clothes...

Seeing these dense records, Xu Mu was a bit dumbfounded. This old man was pretty hardcore.

Just looking at these keywords, it was obvious he was a veteran driver.

Unfortunately, on such a mainstream app, he would never find what he was looking for.

Senior, you can get internet access here?

Xu Mu asked with a smile.

That's right. There's a gap at the top of this realm within a realm that can connect to Wi-Fi. I specifically asked the Sanitation Department to install it for me. I heard it's even military-grade.

Zhang Qinghe chuckled lightly.

Xu Mu glanced at Zhang Qinghe, then opened the browser and skillfully typed in his own treasured website.

Oh no! Senior, why did this website suddenly pop up on your phone?

He immediately handed the phone back to Zhang Qinghe.

After Zhang Qinghe saw the titles and images on the phone, his eyes went wide. He casually clicked on one, and what filled his screen was once again something he considered indecent.

This was truly indecent, not the fake kind of indecent he had been looking at before.

What's wrong?

Hao Yang, who was sitting to the side, walked over and asked.

Zhang Qinghe immediately turned off his phone screen, Nothing, just clicked on an ad.

The way he looked at Xu Mu had completely changed now. This young man was not simple.

Hao Yang, this kid is not bad. He will definitely achieve great things in the future. I've always been a good judge of character.

Zhang Qinghe was full of praise for Xu Mu. Then, he turned his phone back on, took a screenshot of the previous website, and immediately returned to the home screen.

Thank you for the praise, Senior.

We're all bros here, why so polite with me? Come, let's add each other's contact info and keep in touch from now on.

Zhang Qinghe said with a smile.

Xu Mu nodded in agreement. After mulling it over, he still asked, Senior, have the people from the Abyss Chapel all been caught?

That's right, the two of them have already been locked up.

Zhang Qinghe nodded slightly, I don't know what was going through their heads, daring to cause trouble during the Martial Arts Crowning Tournament. The sect masters of all the major sects are here. Isn't that just courting death?

I have a slight understanding of the ins and outs of this matter, and I feel like things aren't that simple. Of course, maybe I'm just overthinking it.

Xu Mu put away his phone.

Oh? Tell me about it.

Zhang Qinghe was intrigued.

Xu Mu didn't hide anything. He gave a rough overview of the matter regarding Nalan Shisan, as well as how he saw a black-robed person coming out of the Inner Realm.

Of course, he definitely wouldn't mention the part about him treating Youyoufan.

Hearing this, Zhang Qinghe frowned slightly. "Could they be planning to... This is bad!"
