Xie Wei returned to his room, where his grandmother brought him a change of clothes and looked at him with heartache.

"Grandma, I'm fine. Look, I can still jump around!" Xie Wei said, about to demonstrate for his grandma.

Grandma Xie was amused by Xie Wei's antics, gave him a few instructions, put down his change of clothes, and left.

Xie Wei took off his tattered clothes, washed up, and changed into new ones.

After washing up, Xie Wei sat cross-legged on the bed to regulate his breathing. One of the aftereffects of using the Asura technique was that it would temporarily disrupt his breathing, and Xie Wei was extremely weak during this period.

Xie Wei was fortunate that "Chaos" had cultivated the physical body to its extreme, so the aftereffects of Asura would not last too long.

Xie Wei estimated that the first level of the Asura state could last for about two hours, and the aftereffects would last for one hour. Xie Wei had not yet tested the remaining four levels. As long as Xie Wei's realm was higher, the impact of the aftereffects would be smaller.

After Xie Wei regulated the energy in his body, he opened his eyes and saw Xie Lan's exquisite face appear before him.

Xie Lan stared intently at Xie Wei, her eyes filled with heartache. Xie Lan had been able to see Xie Wei's entire trial process through the system space.

"Hmm?" Xie Wei was still a little confused, but seeing Xie Lan's worried face, he wrapped his spiritual power in his palm and stroked Xie Lan's white fur.

"Okay, I told you I'm fine, I can jump and bounce around, don't worry, cheer up."

"Hmph, who's worried about you?" Xie Lan said arrogantly while rubbing Xie Wei's hand.

The girl's face was clearly filled with worry, yet she remained stubborn. Xie Wei simply smiled faintly and didn't expose her.

Seeing Xie Wei's smile, Xie Lan shyly ran back to the system space.

"Ding! In recognition of the host's efforts to change their fate, a reward of information on the Immortal Ruins and a Nameless Key has been given."

'Hmm? The ruins of immortals?' Xie Wei was somewhat surprised and clicked on the infographic to take a look.

There isn't much information; the main part is the countdown on the infographic, which should indicate the opening time of the site, which is still more than two months away.

There is also a marked map, the location of which should be the site of the ruins, roughly in the mountains east of Wandu, near the city of Yu.

Seeing this reward, Xie Wei was a little curious. The rewards that changed his fate in the past were all similar to skills like "super hacker" or formulas for anti-cancer drugs.

Even the rewards for a character like Xu Daiwei's destiny chart are very small, but this time the rewards have risen to the level of "immortals".

If Xie Wei had learned of this news from elsewhere, he wouldn't have bothered getting involved. However, since this was a reward from the system, the opening of the ruins meant either something Xie Wei needed or something related to the plot, so Xie Wei had no choice but to take it seriously.

"Does this mean I have to go?" Xie Wei asked Xie Lan, only to be told that there was no way to tell Xie Wei.

My head is so itchy, I feel like my brain is growing. Xie Wei couldn't figure it out, and he was too lazy to bother with it anymore. He would just have to wait and see.

He then looked at another reward, an unnamed key lying in the system space.

Judging from its appearance, it looks more like a puzzle piece than a key, and the description provided is completely blank.

Looking at the two awards, Xie Wei became increasingly confused.

After having lunch at the Xie family's house, Xie Wei drove away.

However, Xie Wei did not expect to run into Mu Yao on his way home. But judging from the situation, the girl seemed to be in trouble again.

Mu Yao's off-white hair cascaded over her shoulders. She wore a black short-sleeved t-shirt with a rose-colored plaid skirt, a colorful decorative necklace, black fishnet stockings that encased her slender legs, and platform shoes, all while she was partially surrounded by the crowd.

The leader of them had blond hair, his appearance was hard to describe, but he was quite strong. He sat on the will-o'-the-wisp with his vocational high school jacket draped over his shoulders.

The people around him seemed to be his underlings. With Xie Wei's cultivation level, he could hear what they were saying without standing too close.

"Mu Yao, just give in to our Brother Biao," said Henchman A.

“Yes, our Brother Biao is completely devoted to you, and his feelings for you are as clear as day,” said Brother B.

...

The rest of the people were also talking, saying things that sounded like advice, but in their tone it sounded more like a threat.

After the group of underlings finished speaking, the man called Brother Biao got off the ghost fire and walked towards Mu Yao.

"Mu Yao, we've known each other for so long, you should understand my feelings for you. With so many people around today, you should at least give me some face. I don't want to do anything to hurt you."

After saying that, he was about to reach out and touch Mu Yao's face. Just as he was about to touch her, Xie Wei saw Mu Yao kick Biao Ge flying towards the ghost fire. As everyone knows, being kicked by height-increasing insoles is very painful.

Biao Ge clutched his stomach, somewhat embarrassed and angry, "Mu Yao, you're really asking for it, aren't you? Just because you're a girl doesn't mean I won't hit you!"

Mu Yao raised an eyebrow, her eyes seemingly showing some disdain.

"All of you, charge!" The man on the other side was clearly enraged, and his underlings, seeing their leader speak, swarmed forward.

Mu Yao looked at the shoes on her feet and sighed, seemingly because she was about to ruin another pair of shoes. Seeing this reminded Mu Yao of that strange person from last time.

Just as Mu Yao was about to make a move, the group of people in front of her stopped, their eyes drawn to the items behind her, their gazes filled with longing.

Just as Mu Yao was feeling puzzled, she heard the sound of a car engine behind her. Turning around, she saw a black sports car, and Xie Wei was inside, waving at Mu Yao to get in.

Mu Yao jogged a few steps, opened the car door, got in, and fastened her seatbelt. Xie Wei shifted gears, stepped on the gas, and sped out of the people's sight.

Once the sports car had disappeared from sight, the group came to their senses. They had been marveling at the car and hadn't noticed Mu Yao getting in.

"Brother Biao, should we continue chasing?" Brother C asked.

Brother Biao punched the man, yelling, "What are you chasing? Do you even know what that car is? A Koenigsegg!"

"People who can drive cars like this are not people we can afford to mess with. Don't come looking for Mu Yao again."

"Also, keep everything that happened today to yourselves. If you hear any rumors about Mu Yao, I'll hold you responsible. That's all." With that, Brother Biao drove off in his Ghost Fire.

Brother Biao had met Xie Wei at a banquet he attended with his father. He and his father were on the outermost edge, while Xie Wei was the figure in the innermost circle, surrounded by everyone.

His father had warned him that the people in the innermost circle were not people they could mess with, especially the one in the very middle.

Seeing that Xie Wei and Mu Yao seemed to know each other, Brother Biao remembered that someone had said Mu Yao's identity was not simple either.

Regardless of Mu Yao's identity, just because she knows Xie Wei, Brother Biao has to treat Mu Yao like royalty. That's why Brother Biao said that to his underlings; he probably didn't want to bring trouble upon himself because of it.

Xie Wei's unintentional action helped Mu Yao solve a problem.
