Shangri-La Hotel, 36th floor, presidential suite.

Mu Jinyu sat in a chair by the floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the Pearl River night view while making a phone call to Mu Hongchen, asking if Zhou Yi had arrived at the Dragon King Hall.

"Not yet, maybe he's still on the way." Mu Hongchen said.

"Alright, when he arrives, allow him to enter the Inner Valley and select spiritual medicine from the Medicine Field for alchemy. Don't stop him." Mu Jinyu instructed.

He estimated that Zhou Yi should be near Jiangnan Province, fearing Mu Hongchen and others wouldn't know the details and might refuse to let him take medicine for alchemy, so he specially took time to call Mu Hongchen while Gu Xiyan and others were bathing, giving some guidance.

"Okay, understood. Anything else, Dragon Master?" Mu Hongchen asked.

"How are Senior Yu and the others?" Mu Jinyu asked.

Mu Hongchen replied, "San Liu recently just exited seclusion; his cultivation level has reached the Ninth Layer of the Divine Transformation Realm, and then he went back to prepare to breakthrough to the Fanxu Realm. Senior Yu, his disciple Chen Xiuying, Qiu Bai, and Zhu Yeqing have been quiet, probably preparing to directly push to the Fanxu Realm."

"Okay, I get it, that's all. Good night." Mu Jinyu nodded, softly said.

"Good night." Mu Hongchen smiled.

The call ended.

Mu Jinyu put away the phone, looked up at the night view outside the window, thinking, even San Liu has reached the Ninth Layer of the God Realm, Yu Shenfeng and others refining their cultivation technique with the resources should have a similar cultivation level.

Thinking about it, soon they would all be breaking through to the Fanxu Realm together.

Then they'd be free to deal with Curse World Master, Withered Wood Taoist, Amalia and others.

"Nom nom nom..."

In his ear, the sound of Yin Li devouring ice cream continued to ring.

Mu Jinyu glanced back, seeing Yin Li feverishly clearing through the pile of ice cream they had bought.

A slight smile tugged at the corner of his lips, Mu Jinyu spoke, "Little Princess, is this enough for you? If not, I'll have them send some more up."

Upon hearing Mu Jinyu's words, Yin Li slowed her pace of eating ice cream, and murmured while eating, "Okay, hurry up."

Mu Jinyu nodded, then picked up the room phone to have the front desk send some more ice cream.

After making the call, Mu Jinyu glanced at Yin Li, saying, "Actually, I think you've had enough ice cream today, if you keep eating, I'm afraid you'll get tired of it, then you might lose your only hobby."

"No worries, I won't get tired." Yin Li didn't even lift her head while finishing ice cream, responding.

"Alright." Mu Jinyu smiled, nodding, not saying anything further.

"Ding dong."

At this time, the doorbell rang.

"So soon? This hotel's efficiency is off the charts."

Mu Jinyu raised an eyebrow, then got up, walked to the door, and opened it.

Outside the door was not a server with ice cream; it was Zhao Yingshu, whom he had just seen briefly at the hotel entrance.

"It's you?"

Seeing Zhao Yingshu, Mu Jinyu's smile slightly diminished, asking, "Anything?"

Zhao Yingshu ignored Mu Jinyu, craning her neck to peek inside the room, not spotting Gu Xiyan and others, then hearing some faint sounds of water, guessing they were showering.

Her expression slightly soured, then she raised her head to look at Mu Jinyu, eyes scrutinizing, saying, "Were you once the chairman of the Jinyu Group? Gu Xiyan and Yu Linglong followed you?"

Zhao Yingshu found nothing odd about Gu Xiyan, Yu Linglong, and other women being with Mu Jinyu.

Nor would she, like ordinary people, wonder what qualifications Mu Jinyu had to dominate them.

After all, a year ago, Mu Jinyu, as chairman of the Jinyu Group, was young, wealthy, extraordinarily rich, the epitome of high society.

She reckoned, if she had the chance back then, she wouldn't hesitate to follow him.

However, now Zhao Yingshu couldn't understand why Gu Xiyan and others continued to follow Mu Jinyu.

Especially after Hanfu youths expressed interest in Gu Xiyan and others, she felt Mu Jinyu was wasting Gu Xiyan's chance and her own opportunity, naturally despising him.

"Yes, what about it?" Mu Jinyu's smile again slightly receded, asking indifferently.

A hint of arrogance surfaced on Zhao Yingshu's face, slowly saying, "An extraordinary fortune has fallen upon you, if you seize this opportunity, perhaps you'll rise to prominence; it's up to your willingness."

Though she said it was up to Mu Jinyu to seize the opportunity, even if he chose to reject, she wouldn't let Mu Jinyu ruin her good chances.

"Oh? What's the matter?"

Mu Jinyu, bored, didn't mind bantering with Zhao Yingshu, seeing what tricks she wanted to play.

Hearing Mu Jinyu, Zhao Yingshu's lips curled into a mocking cold smile, bluntly stating, "Earlier at the hotel entrance, I'm sure you noticed I was waiting for someone, right?"

"To be honest, I'm now a special envoy of the Yang City Otherkind Martial Arts School; ordinary people aren't privileged to have me greet them."

"This time, I'm here to welcome people from various Famous Mountains, youths from Mount Mao, Mount Jiuhua, Zhongnan Mountain..."

Saying this, Zhao Yingshu paused, raising her eyes, with suspicion looking at Mu Jinyu, "With your past status, you shouldn't be unaware of their significant stature, right?"

"Hmm, very impressive." Mu Jinyu nodded.

The mountains mentioned by Zhao Yingshu indeed were impressive, Mount Mao as the Taoist sacred mountain, a top Taoist blessing ground, Mount Jiuhua among the four great Buddhist mountains, though Taoist Law and Buddha's Light chose Dragon Tiger Mountain and Mount Song for their altars, it didn't mean these sacred mountains were inferior.

These individuals coming down from these famous mountains indeed had significant standings.

A mocking smile appeared on Zhao Yingshu's face, she said indifferently, "Just as I was receiving these young masters earlier, they happened to see you all getting on the elevator, then they showed interest in Gu Xiyan and others, so..."

"Isn't this a huge opportunity for you?"

Zhao Yingshu ended her words with a tone marked by jealousy and reluctance.

But she failed to notice Mu Jinyu's expression turning suddenly gloomy at her words.

Impatiently, Zhao Yingshu urged, "Let's go, I assume you've decided, quickly get Gu Xiyan and others to meet those young masters with me!"

She didn't believe Mu Jinyu would refuse such a golden opportunity.

As the saying goes, women are like clothes; with Mu Jinyu's former status, he wouldn't pay much mind to letting Gu Xiyan and others entertain these young masters.

Just by letting Gu Xiyan and others entertain them a few times, Mu Jinyu could latch onto these young masters, and any ambitious man wouldn't miss such a good opportunity.

She believed Mu Jinyu, once at the corporate zenith, now with the spiritual energy revival leading to his downfall, wouldn't be content with merely lazing around.

"Yes, I've decided."

Mu Jinyu spoke, a grim cold smile in his tone.

When Zhao Yingshu felt disdain yet delight, she suddenly realized something seemed off in Mu Jinyu's tone.

Yet before she could pinpoint the issue…

"Smack!"

Mu Jinyu's palm fiercely slapped across her face!
