The next day.
Lu Yuan got up and went to the breeding area to feed the pet cubs.
Mu Ruxing, who was in the next room, had already gone out to organize the auction for the day after tomorrow at the Divine Beast Auction House, and then to investigate information about the Wu family.
Lu Yuan thought about the Wu family's matter for a long time last night.
In the end, it was thought that Wu Mingxu's time-related talent had been discovered.
The prime suspect is Xu Yunfan.
When Xu Yunfan brought Wu Jun to the Divine Beast Pavilion to customize a pet cub, he may have already noticed the changes in Wu Mingxu.
Most importantly.
The items Wu Mingxu used to conceal his spiritual power were ineffective against Xu Yunfan.
Perhaps Xu Yunfan sensed the fluctuations of time-based spiritual energy emanating from Wu Mingxu at that time.
Moreover, given the relationship between the Xu and Wu families, it would be the easiest way to lure the Wu father and son away without alerting others.
In summary
The Xu family is the prime suspect.
But Lu Yuan couldn't understand what benefit the Xu family would gain from doing such a thing.
Even if it were for Wu Mingxu's time-related talent, it wouldn't be worth taking such a risk. Moreover, given the relationship between the Xu and Wu families, they could easily achieve a win-win situation through cooperation, so there was no need to do such dangerous things.
After all, once the matter is exposed, not only will the Xu family's reputation be affected, but the personal safety of all family members may also be threatened.
That's not all.
Subjectively, Lu Yuan was also unwilling to believe that Xu Lanshan would be the kind of person who would do such a thing.
But.
Besides this, Lu Yuan really couldn't think of any other possibilities.
Just as he was lost in thought, Zheng Meng's voice suddenly rang out from not far away.
"Good morning, manager! I brought your favorite xiaolongbao (soup dumplings), come and eat them while they're still hot!"
"Coming right now!"
Lu Yuan immediately stopped his baseless speculation and followed Zheng Meng to the front hall to start eating.
There are still too few clues at the moment, and we will have to wait for more information to determine what is going on.
...
After breakfast.
Lu Yuan let out a satisfied burp, then handed over the Divine Beast Pavilion to Zheng Meng to look after, before leaving the shop to hail a car.
"Go to Shenwu Pavilion."
After giving instructions to the driver, Lu Yuan turned his head and stared blankly at the scenery outside the window.
After a period of effort, the areas in Yandu damaged by the beast tide have been largely repaired. If one did not know beforehand, it would be impossible to tell that the city had once endured a brutal beast tide.
The city's rapid recovery is inseparable from the efforts of Shenwu Pavilion and Lingyao Hall.
"In any case, Maki Kitano is a very qualified leader."
As Lu Yuan was thinking to himself, the car had already stopped downstairs at the Shenwu Pavilion office building.
After paying and getting out of the car, Lu Yuan went straight into the office building. He was about to find the receptionist when he ran into Yang Lin and the others coming out of the elevator.
"Hey? Xiao Lu!"
Upon seeing Lu Yuan walk in from outside, Yang Lin and the others smiled and quickly stepped forward to greet him.
What are you doing here?
Lu Yuan smiled slightly at the curious looks from Yang Lin and the others.
"I need to speak with Commander Mu about something, but I didn't make an appointment beforehand. I was just about to go to the front desk to ask!"
"Hey! What else do you need to ask?" Yang Lin said without hesitation, leading Lu Yuan directly into the building. "Brother Mu just finished a meeting with us, so he should be free now. I'll take you upstairs to find him!"
After saying that.
Yang Lin waved to Du Pengyi and the others.
"You guys go back first, I'll take Xiao Lu to find Brother Mu!"
Seeing this, Du Pengyi and the others had no objections, greeted Lu Yuan, and then left.
Yang Lin then led Lu Yuan to the top-floor office via elevator.
"Brother Mu, Xiao Lu has come to see you about something!"
"Come in!"
Yang Lin was the first to knock on the door, and only after receiving a response from inside did he lead Lu Yuan inside.
"Brother Mu!"
Mu Beiye was sitting at his desk reviewing documents when Yang Lin greeted him and then led Lu Yuan to sit on the sofa next to him. He even skillfully made two cups of tea.
"You're really treating this place like your own home! You didn't even offer to make me a cup of tea?"
Mu Beiye put down the documents in his hand and couldn't help but laugh and curse when he saw this scene.
Yang Lin had already brought the teacup to his lips, but upon hearing this, he immediately turned and handed it to Mu Beiye.
"Brother Mu, what are you saying? This tea is for the two of you!"
Mu Beiye glanced at him, but ultimately didn't expose him. After taking a sip of tea, he turned to look at Lu Yuan sitting opposite him.
"Have you gotten what you wanted?"
Lu Yuan instantly realized that Mu Beiye was referring to the Phoenix Blood in the Fire Forest Secret Realm, and nodded with a smile.
"Thanks to Commander Mu's help."
"I'm glad I could help you solve your problem." Mu Beiye chuckled. "Actually, I also had something to ask you, and it just so happens that you came here in person today."
As he spoke.
Mu Beiye got up, went behind his desk, and took out something that looked like a certificate, which he handed to Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan opened it and glanced at it, only to find that it really was a certificate of honor.
"This is?"
"To recognize the outstanding contributions made by the team members in resisting the beast tide, I also applied for an honorary certificate for you from the Divine Martial Pavilion headquarters."
"..."
Lu Yuan remained silent as he stared at the certificate in his hand.
"Hey! Don't look down on it!" Mu Beiye explained, "This is a certificate issued by the Divine Martial Pavilion headquarters, and it comes with many hidden benefits!"
"oh."
Lu Yuan pursed his lips and replied, his face clearly showing his disdain.
Upon seeing this.
Mu Beiye clicked his tongue, offering no further explanation, and instead took out an exquisitely crafted wooden box from his spatial storage and tossed it to Lu Yuan.
"Here, take this!"
Lu Yuan quickly reached out and caught it, but his eyes showed some disdain when he looked at the wooden box.
"This is a good thing! Open it and see for yourself!" Mu Beiye couldn't help but grit his teeth and say.
Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan opened the lid of the wooden box.
The next second.
A rich aura of spiritual energy rushed towards us.
Three different colored pills were placed in the wooden box; they all appeared to be demon beast pills of the Heavenly Evolution level or higher.
Lu Yuan's eyes lit up immediately.
"Commander Mu, are these three spirit pills all for me?!"
"Here you go!" Mu Beiye said with a smile. "Since you're not a formal member of the Divine Martial Pavilion, headquarters can't award you a bonus, so I'll have to pay for it myself!"
Lu Yuan was the one who contributed the most to Yandu's safe passage through this beast tide attack.
However, since Lu Yuan was not a formally employed member of the Divine Martial Pavilion, there was no legitimate way to apply for a reward for him. Therefore, Mu Beiye paid out of his own pocket to buy three Heavenly Evolution-level demon beast spirit pills for Lu Yuan.
Looking at the demon beast elixir emanating a rich spiritual energy in the box, a warm feeling washed over Lu Yuan.
"Since it's Commander Mu's kind gesture, then I won't stand on ceremony!"
"Please accept it without worry!"
After Lu Yuan stored the demon beast elixir in his spatial storage, Mu Beiye spoke softly.
"So, is there something you need my help with today?"
When serious matters were mentioned, Lu Yuan's playful expression vanished, and his demeanor immediately became solemn.
"Commander Mu, I hope you can help me find two people."
Who is it?
"The Wu family father and son, Wu Qiushan and Wu Mingxu."
