Under Zhou Mu's arrangement, Qian Qingyun settled down here.

I started doing some simple odd jobs.

It was at this moment that Zhou Mu removed the barrier set up around Wentian Tower, which led to an increase in the number of people keeping watch over the area.

Finally, on this day, someone walked through the gates of Wentian Tower.

Su Yuan

Speaking of which, Su Yuan had met Zhou Mu once before.

Previously, when Su Yuan went to the cave to risk his life to seize the thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, if it weren't for Zhou Mu, the Ganoderma lucidum probably wouldn't have ended up in Su Yuan's hands.

Su Yuan walked in timidly.

However, when he thought of his good brother's plight, he felt a sudden pang of pain in his heart, and his steps became much firmer.

Perhaps it was intentional on the part of outsiders, but the rumors portrayed Wentian Tower as a place where if you went in, you would be severely injured, if not killed, so that anyone who went in to seek something should be prepared to lose half their life.

But at this moment, Su Yuan had no way to retreat.

Once inside, it was pitch black, with only a few candles burning, providing a meager light.

There was someone cleaning inside.

"Hello, is this the Wentian Tower?"

Hearing a noise, Qian Qingyun, who was silently cleaning with her head down, looked up in surprise.

This was the first time he had seen anyone in the past few days.

I couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

However, fearing he might frighten the latter, he suppressed his joy.

He said in a serious tone, "This is the Wentian Tower. If you are looking for the tower master, please wait a moment while I go and inform him."

"Alright, then I'll trouble you, sir."

At this moment, Su Yuan's heart was pounding.

Ignoring his surroundings, he furrowed his brow and clutched the small wooden box inside his sleeve even tighter.

Ye Ming's instructions echoed in his mind again and again, making him dare not forget them in the slightest.

About fifteen minutes later, guided by Qian Qingyun, a stranger appeared before them.

Su Yuan looked up, astonished, and said, "You are a deity..."

The person in front of me looks somewhat familiar.

He spoke almost instinctively.

Isn't this the fairy brother he met in the cave before?

He thought he was seeing things, but after rubbing his eyes, the person in front of him still hadn't disappeared, and he was overjoyed.

Zhou Mu saw Su Yuan after he came out.

He saw the latter's joy.

I just felt a little confused.

Why am I so happy to see him, as if I've seen my long-lost biological father?

etc……

The more Zhou Mu looked at him, the more familiar he seemed. "Have we met somewhere before?"

"You remember now? It was in that cave that you gave me that thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum and told me not to lose it again. When I looked up, you were gone. I never expected to see you here," Su Yuan said excitedly.

Upon hearing this, Qian Qingyun was shocked.

He stared blankly at Zhou Mu for a moment, then looked at Su Yuan.

Judging from the latter's excited tone, it doesn't seem fake.

Then, his gaze fell on Zhou Mu, and he swallowed hard, suddenly feeling an intense curiosity about the latter.

That's a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, something that's priceless and unavailable on the market, and its appearance always causes a sensation.

Generally, only top-tier forces possess a few of them, but they all treat them like treasures.

If those people knew that something so precious had been given away so casually, they would probably be green with envy and jealousy.

"It's nothing, it's nothing." Zhou Mu then remembered.

After all, he was someone I knew.

However, he saw through the sorrow in Su Yuan's eyes at a glance.

"Your sister's illness hasn't been cured?"

The only thing that could cause him such sorrow is probably something related to his younger sister.

"My sister's illness is cured, but..."

At this point, Su Yuan fell silent, his eyes slowly reddening.

He choked up for a moment before raising his head. "I'm afraid you'll laugh at me, but the friend who was with me before was named Ye Ming. Do you remember him?"

Harmful.

Let alone Ye Ming, whom he had only met once, Zhou Mu couldn't even remember Su Yuan, whom he had only met once.

However, this didn't stop him from nodding and saying, "I vaguely remember him, but something happened to him?"

Su Yuan shook his head. "It wasn't him."

"Then why did you bring him up?"

Su Yuan was taken aback. "It's related to him."

"Okay, go on."

Su Yuan continued, "Ye Ming likes my sister. After she recovered from her illness, the two of them gradually got together. As her older brother, I was naturally very relieved. After all, Ye Ming is a friend of mine for many years, and his character and personality are all acceptable."

"You want to be brothers, he wants to be his brother-in-law," Zhou Mu muttered to himself.

Su Yuan said, "The Ye family is a prominent and wealthy family. They initially disagreed, but with Ye Ming's insistence, his parents, who have always doted on him, also relented."

He paused here, "Xuan'er has been with me since she was little, enduring wind and rain. Now that she has someone to rely on, I, as her older brother, am very happy. On her wedding day, I got completely drunk, thinking that Xuan'er could finally enjoy her life. But when I woke up, I heard..."

According to the usual formula of fantasy novels, things rarely go smoothly; otherwise, how could the story be depicted as magnificent and epic? Regret makes the ending seem more satisfying.

Therefore, Zhou Mu had a rough idea of ​​what would happen next.

As expected, Su Yuan continued, "...Last night, bandits attacked the city, and the Ye family's newlywed bride was kidnapped, I..."

At this point, he could no longer hold back and burst into tears.

A grown man, yet when talking about his sister, the softest part of his heart was touched.

He cried like a child abandoned by the world.

A life of hard work and toil, a life of constant toil.

He has no complaints about his life anymore.

But isn't it said that those who survive a great calamity are destined for good fortune? Why is there no good fortune after suffering from a life-threatening illness?

Those bandits, of all times, had to come during the Ye family's wedding.

His sister, who had followed him through half her life of hardship, finally found her own happiness, only to have it cruelly crushed once again.

Su Yuan's face was covered in tears.

Zhou Mu was also somewhat sentimental.

Qian Qingyun, perhaps moved by the scene, thought of his own situation, and his eyes dimmed. He took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and handed it to Su Yuan, who thanked him and accepted it.

After wiping away the tears.

Zhou Mu asked, "So the Ye family hasn't made any moves?"

Speaking of the Ye family, Su Yuan's expression changed. "At first, they only made a token talk with the bandits, and then basically nothing happened. Even Ye Ming was confined to the manor. Now, all hope for saving Xuan'er rests on me."
