Mu Ze's eyes were as sharp as a knife. He smiled slightly and slowly retracted the dagger in his hand.

"Miss Su is indeed very courageous. She is not scared at all." He said softly, as if the action just now was just a joke.

Meng Ning stared at Mu Ze warily, a layer of cold sweat oozing from his forehead, "Owner, this joke is a bit too much!"

Su Jinyue remained unmoved and said calmly, "Master, we came here today because we have something important to discuss with you."

Mu Ze put down the dagger in his hand and said, "I will wait for you here today as well."

"But Miss Su, you should explain to me, when did you become a member of our Xiaoyao Tower?"

Su Jinyue curled her lips slightly, "I really can't hide anything from you. In order to deceive those people, I can only resort to this last resort."

"Let me apologize to the host of this post." Su Jinyue said.

"Since you have already said that you are from Xiaoyao Tower, then you are already a member of Xiaoyao Tower."

Mu Ze said: "There is no reason for you to take advantage of my identity in Xiaoyao Tower without paying the price."

Su Jinyue raised her eyebrows slightly, "So the price is that I have to enter Xiaoyao Tower?"

Turning back to the high seat, Mu Ze sat down and said to Su Jinyue: "Don't worry, you don't need to do anything for Xiaoyao Tower."

"It's just that you, Su Jinyue from Ningyuan Marquis Mansion, will belong to my Xiaoyao Tower from today on."

Knowing that he had other plans, Su Jinyue did not expose him. One must have this awareness when seeking help from others.

"I just hope that the host won't think I'm a nuisance in the future."

After saying this, Su Jinyue brought up the main matter, "I have another thing I want the host to help me with."

"I know." Mu Ze said, "You want me to help find General Xiao."

"Yes." Su Jinyue got straight to the point, "If you have any news about Xiao Duo, I'm willing to do something for you."

Mu Ze shook his head, "Even Xiaoyao Tower has no news, but I can tell you another piece of news."

"A wave of other forces has poured into the capital. I know you are aware of this, and you are being hunted down because of them."

"They still don't know whether Xiao Duo is alive or dead. Although the rumors are that his life or death is uncertain, those people don't dare to take action for the time being."

Su Jinyue's expression tensed, "Would the host be willing to help?"

"Of course...I can't."

Mu Ze refused and said, "We only take care of the affairs of the martial arts world. We will not interfere in the affairs of the court."

"As long as those people don't cause trouble for us in Xiaoyao Tower, we won't care."

Su Jinyue's heart sank a little, "If I really want to ask you for help, what price do I have to pay?"

"You know it, Miss Su."

Mu Ze stopped tapping the table and looked at Su Jinyue, "I will never embarrass you, nor do I need you to pay any price."

"I just want you to tell me the whereabouts of the owner of the badge."

…

A quiet moment in the dim room.

Su Jinyue raised her eyes to look at Mu Ze, and said in a calm but firm voice: "I still say the same thing, no."

Although he guessed that Su Jinyue would not agree, Mu Ze couldn't help but frown when he thought that he had pushed her to this point and she still refused to tell him the whereabouts of the old owner of the building.

"You are really stubborn. I just want to know his whereabouts. Why can't you tell me?"

Su Jinyue said: "Because I promised him at the beginning that no one else would know his whereabouts."

After hearing this, Mu Ze nodded and said, "Okay, I won't force you anymore."

"This is all Xiaoyao Tower can help you with. You don't need to come again in the next few days. Even if you come, I won't see you."

"I have already told you everything I can. If there is no problem in the capital this time, the door of Xiaoyao Tower will remain open for you."

Hearing Mu Ze's words, Su Jinyue snorted, "So, the owner of Xiaoyao Tower wants to close down Xiaoyao Tower and be a coward for a few days?"

When Meng Ning heard Su Jinyue's words, his eyes widened. He thought Mu Ze would be angry, but unexpectedly, he smiled instead.

"I've said before that Xiaoyao Tower is in charge of the affairs of the martial arts world and never interferes with the affairs of the imperial court."

"Now, because of you, Xiaoyao Tower has been involved in the incident. Since I choose not to help you, I will not show up."

That made sense. Su Jinyue couldn't force Mu Ze to help her. She nodded and said, "Then I won't bother you today."

Just as the two were about to leave, the door was pushed open by someone from outside.

The old man bowed in the direction of Mu Ze and said, "Master, there is a group of people outside Xiaoyao Tower who want to see the owner."

"I said the master was not here, and they forced their way in!"

Mu Ze raised his eyebrows slightly, with a hint of displeasure in his eyes, "Let them in."

The old man nodded and turned to leave. Soon, a group of people came in one after another.

The leader was a burly man with a somewhat defiant look on his face. He looked around and his eyes fell on Mu Ze.

"Are you the owner of Xiaoyao Tower?"

Mu Ze looked calm and raised his chin slightly. "Yes, it's me. What do you want to do by trespassing on my territory?"

The man sneered, "We just want to discuss business with the owner of the building. I heard that Xiaoyao Building does all kinds of business. The owner of the building will not even give us this little face, right?"

Su Jinyue glanced at him calmly, and the burly man said, "What face do you have?"

The burly man turned around to curse, but was stunned when he saw Su Jinyue, "Don't think that I wouldn't dare to do anything just because we're in Xiaoyao Tower!"

Meng Ning protected Su Jinyue, his expression suddenly turned cold.

Mu Ze looked at those people, with a sarcastic smile on his face, "We at Xiaoyao Tower are not doing business recently, so please come in."

The leading man frowned and looked at his companions silently.

At the whisper of one of them, his expression seemed to become solemn, but he regained his composure in an instant.

"It would be better for the host to think about it carefully to avoid hurting the relationship." After he said that, he winked at the person next to him.

The man immediately pulled out a heavy cloth bag from his arms and threw it on the table. "This is a small gift for the host. If the host agrees to this deal, there will be a generous gift for you."

Mu Ze didn't even look at the so-called meeting gift, "We in Xiaoyao Tower don't need this business. If I say I won't do it, then I won't do it! There is no room for maneuver!"

The burly man's expression changed, and he looked a little annoyed, but he still suppressed his anger, "The host should think it over carefully, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
