Xu Mu looked at Tong Guoguo, and when she said those words, her favorability towards her did not decrease, but rather increased.

[Favorability +10]

He smiled and said, "Because I trust you, it's that simple."

"Hmph! You're smart enough to know what's good for you. If you don't remove the Gu worm and try to control me with it to make me do things for you, I definitely won't help you."

Guoguo crossed her arms and said calmly.

As the two were chatting, several cars pulled up in front of the factory gate.

Several people dressed as cleaners came down from above; the leader was a mid-level cleaner, and the rest were junior cleaners.

They were accompanied by a police car, since not everyone knows what a sanitation worker is.

"You must be Xu Mu, right?"

The middle-aged man leading the group walked towards Xu Mu.

"That's right, please follow me."

Xu Mu then led these people into the factory and together they entered the ruins.

After briefly explaining what was going on here, Xu Mu and Guo Guo headed to the helicopter location.

Afterwards, he flew the helicopter back to Jiang City.

Xu Mu felt that today was very fulfilling. He had poached a master from Wang Hun, and more importantly, the female protagonist who was at the Transcendent Realm.

However, he also knew that after taking Tong Guoguo away, he and Wang Hun were now locked in a life-or-death struggle.

In the past, if something important had happened, Wang Hun might have postponed killing Xu Mu.

But now, he might prioritize dealing with himself.

At present, Xu Mu thinks it's best to keep Tong Guoguo hidden.

...

Back in Jiang City.

Xu Mu landed the helicopter at the Xu family manor.

He drove with Tong Guoguo back to his villa.

Along the way, he explained his plan: to temporarily prevent Tong Guoguo from appearing openly.

Tong Guoguo also agreed with Xu Mu's request; they really couldn't alert the enemy at the moment.

If Wang Hun knew that she had joined forces with Xu Mu, given his personality, he would definitely come and kill her personally.

If Guoguo were to face Wang Hun, she would almost be instantly killed; Xu Mu would certainly be even worse off.

Back home.

Xu Mu first inscribed a teleportation array in the courtyard, allowing Tong Guoguo to return to the illusion array. He then told her that he would bring his entire family to find her for dinner that evening.

Today, Xu Mu is going to plunder his Justice Points and take advantage of Ye Tong's double aura to make a fortune.

It was still early, so Xu Mu moved to the underground cave beneath the garage, took out some rare and precious materials, and focused his attention.

He wanted to refine more pills; even a mosquito's leg is meat. Even if the Qi Sea Pill wasn't as useful to Meng Wanyue and Dai Xingluo as before, it would still have some effect.

Before we knew it, it was getting dark.

Ye Tong returned home a moment later, and soon after, Ye Yu and Bai Yi also came back together.

"Honey, don't cook today, I'll do it. I'll gather everyone together and we'll have a good meal."

Xu Mu first spoke to Ye Tong.

"good."

Ye Tong nodded with a smile; she had wanted to bring these people together for a long time.

After several phone calls from Xu Mu, a group of people appeared at his villa.

These people have one thing in common: they are all beautiful women.

Besides Ye Tong, Ye Yu, and Bai Yi, Xu Ningbing, Meng Wanyue, Dai Xingluo, and Feng Yue all came to the courtyard.

The main reason was that Jiang Huihui lived far away; otherwise, he would have invited her as well.

As for Song Nuanyang, that old woman, Xu Mu planned to wait and see, since she wasn't very filial to him.

"The reason I called you all here today is very simple: I recently met a master, and you can all learn from her."

Xu Mu addressed the crowd around him.

He turned off the lights in the villa and led everyone to the courtyard, where he quickly inscribed a teleportation array.

"bring it on!"

Xu Mu had everyone stand on the formation. After activating the formation, everyone was transferred to the underground illusion formation.

"Wow! Brother-in-law, where is this? Why are there snow-capped mountains?"

As soon as Ye Yu appeared, she grabbed Xu Mu's arm and looked into the distance.

The others around also looked around in shock.

"This is below our villa. I've created an illusion array here; everything around us is fake."
