“Sister, are you okay now?”

Upon returning to Lonely Sword Peak, Xu Mu and Shang YaoYao noticed that Luo Qingchen had come down from the mountaintop. She looked radiant, as if she had never been injured.

“Yes! I’m all good! Master helped me heal!”

Luo Qingchen’s face lit up with a smile, which was the first time that the two of them had seen her so happy.

Xu Mu and Shang YaoYao frowned simultaneously.

They found it hard to imagine that the infamous shifu, who would do anything for a drink, would help Luo Qingchen heal her injuries.

Xu Mu remembered what the presiding elder had said – Luo Qingchen’s bloodline was transplanted.

The only person on Lonely Sword Peak who would have the ability to transplant bloodlines was Drunkard Shifu.

And now he was willing to help Luo Qingchen heal her injuries!

If one were to say there was no ulterior motive in this, even ghosts wouldn’t believe it.

Shang YaoYao obviously thought the same; the two shared a glance, contemplating whether to raise the issue. However, Luo Qingchen was the first to speak. “Junior brother, how did your competition go today?”

“Uh? Of course I won! I’m aiming for the first place!” Xu Mu said with a smile.

“That’s great! Once you’ve won first place, you’ll be eligible to practice in the secret realm. With your talent and the resources of our sect, you’ll be able to advance to the Golden Core stage in less than a hundred years. That would give us hope for Lonely Sword Peak!” Luo Qingchen said excitedly.

Xu Mu didn’t know what to say.

It seemed like Luo Qingchen’s personality was changing quite a bit.

In the end, Xu Mu just laughed and didn’t continue the conversation.

Right then, Li Heng and Big Bull came out of the courtyard.

“You guys are back, dinner’s ready. Come on in and eat! To celebrate junior brother’s victory, I even personally cooked some Phoenix Feather Rice!” Li Heng said with a smile.

“Phoenix Feather Rice? I need to eat more of that!”

Shang YaoYao, who initially wanted to defer the meal, immediately changed her mind when she heard there was a great deal to be had.

Once the Foundation Establishment Stage is reached, there is little need for food, unless it’s a particularly precious spiritual object.

However, Xu Mu and the others still needed food supplements, or else they would have to consume pills that replenished their spirit energy. But given the current situation at Lonely Sword Peak, they clearly couldn’t afford it.

Xu Mu could have made it himself, but to hide his identity, he had to put up with it and have meals with them every day.

After dinner, Xu Mu went back to his room to rest, but Shang YaoYao sneaked over to find him.

“Miss, this could easily lead to misunderstandings!” Xu Mu said in irritation.

“There’s no danger, do you think you’d dare to lay hands on me?”

Shang YaoYao sat down on Xu Mu’s bed, her tone dismissive.

Being at the Foundation Establishment Stage and having many life-saving measures at her disposal, even if Xu Mu had ill intentions, he wouldn’t stand a chance.

“I wouldn’t lay hands on you, but who knows if you’d lay hands on me.”

II II

Stunned for a moment, Shang YaoYao snarled at Xu Mu.

“You dare to joke with me like this, do you believe I’d kill you?”

“Would you be able to bear it?”

II II

What was this supposed to mean?

Shang YaoYao’s face turned red, and just as she was about to strike, Xu Mu quickly said, “Stop fooling around, let’s get down to business!”

II II

When did I fool around? You’re the one talking nonsense!

Just as Shang YaoYao was about to gather her thoughts and speak, Xu Mu beat her to it, “Is it about Sister Luo?”

“Huh? You know?”

“Besides that, I can’t think of anything else. If it were something else, you would have said it on the way back.”

“Do you also think that Sister Luo and Master…”

“Don’t say nonsense. If others heard this, how could Sister Luo continue living!” Xu Mu hurriedly cut her off.

“I’m not saying nonsense, I just came here to have a discussion!”

“There’s nothing to discuss. Sister Luo is not a child, she knows what to do!”

Xu Mu really didn’t have the patience to deal with these trifling matters. Not only did they offer no help to his cultivation, but they also involved him in one hassle after another.

“She might not be a child, but what kind of life experiences could she have by always staying within the sect? She might even get sold without realizing it, and end up counting money for others!”

“You sound as if you’re very experienced!”

Shang YaoYao’s eyes widened in anger.

“You seem to be itching for a lesson, don’t you!”

“Say whatever you want, it has nothing to do with me. I’m going to rest now!”

Xu Mu collapsed straight onto the bed in resignation.

Shang YaoYao didn’t argue over his disrespectful language, and said in a somewhat seductive tone: “Aren’t you curious at all?”

“Not curious!”

Xu Mu rolled over to face the wall, with his back to Shang YaoYao, which angered her to the point of gritting her teeth.

Why isn’t this kid affected by anything?

How can anyone not be curious about something this interesting?

She prepared to pull out a trump card.

“I’ve got some high-tier concealment charms here. How about we sneak up to the mountaintop? You’ve been here for so long and haven’t seen the master, don’t you want to?”

“No interest!”

II II

Shang YaoYao was left speechless by Xu Mu’s reply.

In the end, she could only lose her temper.

“You bastard, get up right now and go up the mountain with me. This is an order. Don’t forget the contract we both signed!”

“If you’d said that from the start, we wouldn’t have had this problem!”

Xu Mu sat up.

II II

Are you really that stubborn?

Do you only respond to toughness, not gentleness!

Shang YaoYao’s stomach hurt from anger.

“But let me make this clear, if anything happens and we miss the competition, don’t blame me!”

II II

Shang YaoYao was silenced again.

She began to contemplate inwardly if it would be worth it.

“What’s the matter? Let’s get going!”

Xu Mu reached out to grab Shang YaoYao’s hand, ready to leave.

“Ahh! Wait! Let’s wait until next time! The competition is more important!”

A delay of a few days wouldn’t matter for this kind of thing. But if they missed the competition, she would lose a lot of money.

It’s clear what’s more important.

“Remember, you suggested this!”

“It’s my idea, it’s my idea!”

“Well, hurry up and leave, you’re disturbing my rest!”

“We’re leaving, we’re leaving!”

Shang YaoYao exited the room and took a few steps before she felt that something was wrong.

She had rushed over and accomplished nothing, and had been treated like an underling.

Who’s the master here?

That damn jerk! He tricked me again!

Angry, Shang YaoYao wanted to turn back to give Xu Mu a lesson but after taking two steps, she stopped.

What if she injured him and affected tomorrow’s competition?

Forget it! She would let him off this time and settle scores with him after the competition!

Shang YaoYao held back her anger and returned to her own room.

The next day, the four of them headed for the competition venue together. After yesterday’s victory, Xu Mu received even more attention when he arrived.

They looked around and noticed that the number of spectators had surged. A large number of them were from powerful sects affiliated with the Wu Tianhe Sect, including the Shang family.

“I’m going to greet my family.”

Shang YaoYao said before heading towards the Shang family’s group. After saying something to them, everyone in the group looked over at Xu Mu. Xu Mu even felt a Golden Core Stage Divine Intent scan over him. He gave a slight bow towards the Shang family’s group, and one of the middle-aged men who appeared to be their leader, nodded back.

“Junior Brother, that’s Shimei’s father, the head of the Shang family. Although he’s not at Golden Core Stage, he’s at the Perfection stage of Foundation Establishment and has a high chance of advancing to Golden Core Stage in the future,” Li Heng reminded him.

“Got it!”

Xu Mu nodded, but he didn’t really care.

He wasn’t planning on becoming a son-in-law, so he didn’t need to worry about this.

Li Heng then pointed out several other well-known figures and gave a brief introduction. Having moved around the sect’s mountain gate more often, he knew more people than Xu Mu and Luo Qingchen, only slightly less than Shang YaoYao.

While they were talking, the names of the competitors appeared in the light screen in the void.

“Bai Yingwu from Sacrificial Sword Peak?! Isn’t the sect doing this on purpose?”
