Chen Xuan said, holding a wood-chopping knife.

"No need, I've already notified the cleaning staff. Let them handle it. We need to deal with the body too."

Xu Mu waved his hand gently.

...

Not long after, the cleaners appeared on the mountain.

The one leading them was Jiang Huihui.

[Favorability +10]

As soon as Jiang Huihui saw Xu Mu, a positive impression appeared above her head.

Because of Xu Mu, her score has been increasing very rapidly recently, and she has a high probability of becoming a team leader in this selection.

“Xu…”

"My name is Ye Chen now."

Xu Mu walked over quickly and gave her a brief explanation, telling her not to reveal her name.

Jiang Huihui understood immediately, "Thank you this time, I'll take them away!"

As she spoke, she took out some bubble gum from her person and handed it to Xu Mu and Chen Xuan respectively.

Before long, all of these Jiuli tribesmen were taken away.

Xu Mu and Chen Xuan also came down from the mountain together.

"I was cultivating deep within the mountains when I heard the commotion here, so I came to investigate. I never expected it to be you."

Chen Xuan smiled and put the wood-chopping knife into his spatial ring.

"They came here for me this time."

Xu Mu gave a brief account of what had happened.

Chen Xuan nodded to himself; no wonder the other party was here.

"This Gu worm should also be able to mark its location. You should stay at the foot of the mountain and wait for the next expert to come. There might be danger there."

Xu Mu glanced at Chen Xuan, "Why don't you go somewhere else?"

"No need. If I stay here, I'll know immediately if the Jiuli tribe comes again. I'll then report the news to you so you can prepare in advance."

Chen Xuan said with a smile, "Besides, I don't think their experts can easily capture me."

Upon hearing this, Xu Mu smiled, thinking, "He truly lives up to his role as the male lead."

The two arrived at the foot of the mountain together. Chen Xuan rode his electric bike with Xu Mu on the back, intending to take him to the city.

They had just gotten onto the main road when they saw a Great Wall Cannon turning in their direction.

Upon seeing this, Xu Mu patted Chen Xuan on the shoulder, "Old Chen, no need, my people are here to pick me up."

"Alright, then I'll continue my cultivation."

Chen Xuan turned the electric scooter around and left.

Xu Mu opened the passenger door and got in.

Song Nuanyang felt an immediate liking for Xu Mu upon seeing him. "Are you alright?"

"It's nothing, just a minor injury."

Xu Mu opened the car window, propped his cheek up, and gazed out calmly, a gentle breeze ruffling his hair.

[Favorability +20]

Seeing Xu Mu like this, Song Nuanyang suddenly felt that this man was quite handsome, for some reason.

...

After Xu Mu returned home, he immediately called Xu Shou, but the other end did not answer.

He immediately drove to the company and quickly arrived at Xu Ningbing's office.

"What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry?"

Xu Ningbing was looking at the computer in front of her when she noticed Xu Mu coming in, so she took off her glasses.

"Where did the old man go? He's not answering the phone."

Xu Mu asked quickly.

"Oh, they just came by the company for a quick look around. They left not long ago."

Xu Ningbing explained.

Hearing this, Xu Mu breathed a sigh of relief. He sat on the sofa and asked, "Has anything happened in our family from last night to today?"

"Last night? Something really did happen."

Xu Ningbing's expression turned serious. "Have you offended someone again?"
