“If you dare to mess around like that again, I’ll never spare you!”

Nangong Suyi said, annoyed.

A hint of embarrassment came through in her words, she hardly seemed like the Golden Pill master who’d lived for over 800 years.

“You can’t blame me for this, it was master who said to use all my abilities!”

Xu Mu said helplessly.

“You, you dare to argue back!”

Nangong Suyi’s face reddened with anger.

She had lived for 800 years, only to be ridiculed by a young man of her great- grandson’s generation.

Thinking of the image of her babbling nonsensically and begging for mercy, she felt mortified to the point of feeling like she had nowhere to hide.

She’d lived more than 800 years and even she couldn’t resist. Who on earth could? She thought Mo Wuxin wouldn’t be able to escape this fate when the time came.

Understanding Mo Wuxin well, she knew that despite the cold and proud exterior, Mo Wuxin was sensitive inside. She thought Xu Mu would capture Mo Wuxin’s heart as soon as he entered it.

All!

Sighing in her heart, Nangong Suyi wasn’t sure who this sigh was meant for.

“I’m saying no more!”

Xu Mu said with an unconcerned smile.

“You!”

This little rascal, does he think I’m genuinely frightened of him!

Despite these thoughts, Nangong Suyi was shrouded in a spiritual glow and quickly took off.

“Ah! Why are you leaving? Master, what should I do now?”

Xu Mu was somewhat baffled. He was considering whether to chase after her when Nangong Suyi’s message arrived, requesting him to come back after half a year as Mo Wuxin needed some time for physical transformation.

Thinking that the extraordinarily proud master would soon turn into a mistress, Xu Mu was both embarrassed and strangely thrilled.

He couldn’t wait to see Mo Wuxin’s reaction.

Now it’s your turn to plan ill intentions against my ‘Little Poor’!

Sister Mo? Heh, heh!

Now I will make you a real sister!

Carrying this excited mood, Xu Mu headed toward Pursuing Wind City.

However, he didn’t return to the city but went to the island where the space rift was.

After all these years, it should have returned to normal, right!

There were still two women there, as well as his business.

Even with his current cultivation, trading resources between the two places remained the most profitable deal.

He hadn’t been there for three years. The island experienced no changes. Xu Mu checked the surroundings with his Divine Intent first then used the Earth Escape Skill to penetrate inside and arrived at the stone chamber at the island’s center.

The chamber was pitch black and empty.

Xu Mu calculated the time and realized it was not yet time for the space to open.

A few days passed in this tense atmosphere, then a light appeared in the pitch black sealed chamber. The light swiftly expanded, finally forming a path wide enough for a person to traverse.

Seeing the familiar forest scenery on the other side, Xu Mu finally let out a sigh of relief.

“It seems like the changes were only temporary, this spatial rift is still viable for long-term use!” Xu Mu thought to himself.

As for whether or not he should explore the unknown space, that was still up for consideration.

After all, it was highly likely that the original owner of this spatial rift met their demise in that unknown space. The risks in it were evident. Xu Mu didn’t lack resources now, there was no need to take that risk.

He crossed the spatial passage to the other side, breathing in the fragrance of the grass and trees that he hadn’t smelled in ages, and his mood instantly lightened.

Looking back at the spatial rift, Xu Mu transformed into a ray of light and sped off toward the Liyang Sect.

He soon arrived at Cui Ling Market, the place closest to the Cloud Peak Mountain Range. Xu Mu scanned the area briefly with his Divine Intent then continued his journey towards Liyang City without pausing.

Zooming swiftly like the wind, he soon arrived at his residence in Liyang City.

Scanning it with his Divine Intent, he found that Si Tan’er, dressed in loose robes, was cultivating in her room.

“Who’s there?”

Upon sensing the Divine Intent, Si Tan’er let out a cold huff, opened her eyes and revealed crimson pupils.

“It’s me!”

Si Tan’er was stunned for a moment, then quickly understood and showed a look of excitement.

“My Lord!”

When Xu Mu walked into the courtyard, Si Tan’er, regardless of the presence of the servant girls, rushed into his arms without hesitation.

“Knowing you are safe and sound, I can finally rest easy!”

Xu Mu stroked Si Tan’er’s hair, taking her back into the house.

The servant girls, being very tactful, closed the door.

Not until the emotional reunion was over did Xu Mu ask about her experiences over the past few years.

Three years wasn’t a long time for someone in the Foundation Establishment Stage. Beside solidifying her cultivation, Si Tan’er had taken on the connections left behind by her grandfather and built her own power base.

Si Tan’er’s grandfather, Si Xuanjing was a tier-three master alchemist and had a pretty wide network. Previously, due to her weak power, she had been looked down on even if she tried to ingratiate herself with others. Now with her advancement to the Foundation Establishment Stage, people were lining up to ingratiate themselves with her.

Seeing that these people had their uses, she took them all under her wing, eventually forming a small power base.

Xu Mu didn’t object to this. After all, a person cannot cultivate all day; having something to do can prevent idleness.

He only reminded her, asking her not to be too distracted from her cultivation.

After spending sufficient time with Si Tan’er, Xu Mu tried to get in touch with Chi Feiyan, but there was no response.

“Could something have gone wrong?”

Although he considered Chi Feiyan merely a plaything, it would still be regrettable should something unpredictable have happened to her.

Compared to his other women, there were far more ways to play with Chi Feiyan.

After asking around town, he found out that Chi Feiyan wasn’t in the city, but had moved to a remote marketplace.

Xu Mu set up a communication formation and finally got in touch with Chi Feiyan.

According to Chi Feiyan, she had – -in Xu Mu’s prolonged absence- – used her own resources to earn control over a marketplace at a significant cost due to the needs of developing her powers.

The power that Chi Feiyan controlled included not only the Lv and Chi family on the surface, but also a vast intelligence network founded with Xu Mu’s help.

The primary purpose of this organization was to sell Foundation Establishment Pills. This organization, in itself, was not only unable to bring in significant profits, but also needed constant financial support, otherwise it would quickly become paralyzed and even disintegrate.

However, with Xu Mu gone for three years without a trace, unable to provide Foundation Establishment Pills or spirit stones, and with no news about whether he was dead or alive, Chi Feiyan had to find other ways to maintain the operation of the organization.

Among them, developing a marketplace was the fastest and most stable channel for making spirit stones at the moment.

The Clear River Sword Sect, as well as the deserted marketplaces left by the Soul Forging Sect, were easily accessible for those in the Foundation Establishment Stage to gain management rights with just a little cost.

Xu Mu had no objections to Chi Feiyan’s decision, but he was indeed surprised at the location she chose.

“White River Marketplace? What a picky choice!” Xu Mu commented.

Chi Feiyan chose White River Marketplace not because of nostalgia or any connection to Xu Mu, but for a variety of reasons.

The first reason was its current lack of family control, making it the cheapest place to obtain management rights.

The original family in charge had fled due to their inability to resist the increasing attacks from monster beasts.

The second reason was that White River Marketplace was relatively close to the Liyang Sect.

The majority of their controlled power and business were in the Liyang Sect, because being closer made it easier to manage, and it was also more convenient to transport resources.

The third reason was that her own strength had grown significantly. She had talismans and magic artifacts left by Xu Mu, enough to allow her to confront a fifth-tier Monster Beast. Notably, Chi Shouyuan, her father, had also advanced to the Foundation Establishment Stage.

With the combined strength of both, they were capable of defending the White River City.

The disadvantage that White River Market was abundant in Monster Beasts had become an advantage, bringing in a lot of profit in a short period of time.

However, it seemed she had recently encountered a little trouble.

“Father and daughter at odds! Interesting!” Xu Mu commented.

On the second day of receiving the news, Xu Mu bid farewell to Si Tan’er and rushed toward White River City.
