Lu Sumu's eyes widened, his hands tightly grasping his shoulders, and he asked anxiously, "Did you really find it?"
"Of course it's true, it's in the Mortal Realm!"
Hearing this, Lu Sumu jumped up excitedly, with an ecstatic smile on his face, "Great!"
However, the younger brother's expression became somewhat hesitant and embarrassed, and he stammered, "But..."
Lu Sumu's smile froze instantly, "But what?"
The younger brother took a deep breath and said, "She...she seems to have become the eldest lady of a certain family."
"What?!"
Lu Sumu's eyes were suddenly filled with anger. He swung his hand violently, and with a bang, he smashed the door to pieces.
This sudden action scared Ji Jingyi who was putting on makeup inside.
"Sumu, what's wrong with you?"
"fine."
Lu Sumu suppressed the anger in his heart, pulled his younger brother's arm, and walked quickly forward a few meters, away from the room.
"Which family's eldest daughter-in-law is this?" Lu Sumu lowered his voice.
The younger brother scratched his head and said, "I don't know either. I asked around at the time, but I was afraid of alerting the enemy, so I hurried back."
Lu Sumu narrowed his eyes slightly and clenched his fists, "How dare you steal my woman? You must be tired of living!"
"Then Master, when are we going to go look for him?"
Lu Sumu glanced in the direction of Ji Jingyi and said, "We'll go tomorrow. You lead the way."
The younger brother bowed and responded, "Yes, Master."

As night falls, the sky is dyed a deep ink color, dotted with countless twinkling stars, like dazzling gems inlaid in the dark curtain.
There was a lively scene on the Ark.
On the wide deck at the bow, dozens of people sat together, laughing and talking happily.
Some of them were standing, some were sitting, and some were lying directly on the ground, each enjoying the quiet night.
There are three exquisite barbecue grills in the middle of the deck, and the meat on the grills is sizzling and emitting an enticing aroma.
They held skewers of meat and feasted on the food, while some picked up their wine glasses, tasted fine wines, admired the bright moon with their friends, and talked about interesting stories from the past and present.
In this atmosphere, the relationship between everyone became closer and closer.
Lu Jingzhi was lying alone on the roof of the boat, with his limbs stretched out, free from any restraint.
He looked up at the starry sky that seemed within reach, immersed in endless reverie.
At this time, Xu Mucheng with red hair, holding a wine glass, flew lightly from the bow to the top of the boat and landed steadily next to Lu Jingzhi.
She glanced at Lu Jingzhi and asked, "Why don't you drink anymore?"
"I've already drunk eight jars. This feeling of being half drunk and half awake, clear-headed yet a little hazy, is truly wonderful and intoxicating."
Xu Muqing nodded slightly, "Yeah...that's true."
After a brief silence, Xu Muqing spoke again: "How confident do you think you are in winning this competition?"
Hearing this, Lu Jingzhi thought for a moment, "Hmm... If that list of players' information is true, it's probably less than 50%."
She glanced at him sideways, tilted her head back and took a sip of wine, "What?"
"So lacking in confidence?"
Lu Jingzhi smiled helplessly, "No matter how confident you are, you still have to consider the actual situation. If you make big promises and then fail, wouldn't you become a clown?"
"clown!"
"You know Joker!"
Lu Jingzhi was startled by her scream and quickly sat up from the ground, patting his chest violently.
"What are you so excited about?"
Xu Muqing regained his composure, his eyes narrowed slightly, "Are you from Tianxuan Continent, or Blue Star?"
This time it was Lu Jingzhi's turn to get upset. He was filled with surprise. "Could it be...you too?"
Seeing that he was the same as himself, Xu Muqing no longer concealed it, "Of course, I traveled into this body twenty years ago."
"So you two souls are?"
