Chapter 311 On the street where we met again, my heart recognized you before I did.
Shadow cut straight to the point, "But...she is heavily guarded, with at least three unfathomable experts hidden around her."
Mu Feng slightly increased the pressure on the teacup.
“Therefore, we can only trace the origins of Miss Huali, but…” Shadow said with a forced smile, “All traces of Miss Huali have been erased by someone with ulterior motives, making it impossible to trace her as successfully as Miss Qiran.”
Seeing that Shaojun remained silent, Yingzi lowered his head further and further.
He accomplished neither of the two tasks.
Shadow was sweating profusely. Seeing that Mu Feng was still looking downstairs, a lightbulb went off in his head. "But I have already found out the identities of these men. They are... well-known poor people in the city."
"The old man carrying the boxes had no children and made a living by scavenging low-grade spiritual herbs; most of the others were also lonely or ill..."
"Miss Huali's Double Eleven is about to begin, so the recruitment conditions are extremely favorable. Two mid-grade spirit stones a day, plus three full meals. As soon as the news spread, there were many applicants, including many strong and healthy people, and even some low-level cultivators."
"But she seems to have deliberately selected these people, which is why these guys have been working for three days and are just about to finish."
"Go down." Mu Feng's eyes were filled with complex emotions.
He was born into a prominent family, and such families are often rife with intrigue and power struggles; even those who cultivate immortality cannot escape the mundane.
So even though he was grateful to Huali for saving his mother, and even though he clearly demanded payment at the time, he still had to be cautious and investigate.
He originally thought that if it was a game within a game, then the player must have a very big plan.
A well-placed "weakness" is often the best bait to see the game clearly.
Therefore, he deliberately left behind the lingering cough that had been caused by the depletion of his body during his mother's medical treatment.
He was waiting, waiting for Huali to reappear, to continue the bond of gratitude, and to weave an even deeper web.
Mu Feng had even considered several possible pretexts and methods she might use to get close to her.
However, he was wrong.
She had no time to pay him any attention.
She was never short of the strongest people in the world around her, and she herself was a powerful being.
So the girl never looked back, not even once.
The feeling was like he punched empty air, or like... he deliberately opened a crack, hoping for some kind of response, but in the end... he was disappointed.
From the moment we met until now, he has been performing a one-man show.
Looking down at the noisy yet harmonious and warm scene, Mu Feng's fingertips involuntarily curled up.
The Linfeng County under his rule was prosperous and bustling, but it was not without its poor.
Two mid-grade spirit stones a day, and three full meals a day, are nothing short of a windfall for these elderly people struggling to make ends meet.
Cultivating immortality knows no time; he has witnessed the vicissitudes of life and seen others offer help in times of need.
But very few people do things like her, where every act of help is not given in a condescending manner, but rather cleverly transformed into a reward earned by their own hands.
I make money, and I'll help you all make some too, it's that simple.
It is not a favor bestowed by bending down, but a gentle touch that nourishes silently.
By some strange twist of fate.
They didn't even think about it much.
The next moment, Mu Feng was surrounded by cool air and the aroma of various foods.
He stood not far from the rosewood shop, close enough to see the sunlight dancing on her eyelashes.
Mu Feng paused, just about to greet them, when a voice spoke faster than him!
"Karashi!!"
Little Ta rushed over like a cannonball and hugged Huali's leg, "Zhao Zhao and I have finished cleaning up inside!"
Huali immediately praised the child, "Xiaota is amazing! A candied hawthorn as a reward!"
"Wuhu—the rosewood is truly wonderful!"
Ao Bai, who saw through everything, said: "Hua Bapi, this little thing is working hard enough, and you're just going to give him a string of candied hawthorns."
“I call that urging it to lose weight,” Hua Bapi ruffled the silly child’s head. “Luckily, this is the cultivation world. If it were back home, anyone who dared to hire a free child laborer would be sent straight in.”
The words Mu Feng blurted out suddenly froze on his lips.
He was as if struck by a silent thunderbolt, suddenly waking up from that inexplicable feeling!
The surrounding clamor of voices became incredibly clear and jarring!
What is he thinking?
She already has a Taoist partner, a family, and children.
What is he doing?
A strong sense of taboo overwhelmed Mu Feng like a tidal wave.
The faint, secret stirring in my heart was instantly frozen and shattered by the icy tide.
All that remained was a rare sense of embarrassment and self-loathing.
Just then, Old Wang, who was unloading the goods, noticed something sharp: "Hey? Isn't that Lord Shaojun?"
"It really is an official. It seems the official is inspecting Wanbao Street again today."
"Young Master's cultivation is profound, and he is also benevolent and virtuous. He governs this place in perfect order, truly..."
Upon hearing this, Huali followed their gaze.
Not far away, under a tree, stood a figure dressed in simple, elegant clothes, exuding a noble and refined air. Who else could it be but Mu Feng?
Huali's heart skipped a beat.
What is he doing here?
I didn't notice the chaos earlier, but did he watch the whole time?
Speaking of which, Wanbao Street is the core industry of Linfeng County, and it's under his jurisdiction. Could he be... here to check her business license because he saw her setting up stalls and making such a big "live stream"?
Karin is terrified! Karin is panicked! Karin gets an electric shock on the spot!
Ao Bai's voiceover: "...On the street where we met again, my heart recognized you before I did."
Oh no, oh no, oh no, she's an unregistered resident!
Seeing that Mu Feng was still staring intently at her, Hua Li, having exhausted all other options, forced a smile and tried to greet the real estate tycoon in a friendly manner, "Young Master Mu? What a coincidence!"
"The same to you......"
However, the next second, the real estate tycoon seemed to have been burned by something, and without even meeting her gaze, he turned away with an icy expression.
Huali: "......"
She slowly lowered her hand.
Sure enough, capitalism doesn't work with emotional appeals.
"Fine, I won't ignore you then. Who are you trying to fool with that sour face?" Huali pouted. "If you dare shut down my stall, I'll have someone take care of you!"
