Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
âThose people should be the subordinates of Continent Fâs overlord. Have you heard of Continent Fâs overlord?â
âThe overlord of Continent F? Isnât Continent F Mu Chengxiâs territory? How come thereâs another overlord now?â
Hearing Yan Qingâs words, Chu Yunxuan was somewhat confused. She wasnât particularly clear on intelligence matters, but she had specifically looked into Mu Chengxi of Continent F because of Wen Xinâs relationship with him. She wanted to check Mu Chengxiâs identity.
âThe power structure in Continent F is especially complex, with the largest force being Mu Chengxi. However, Mu Chengxiâs domain is only in the western part of Continent F, occupying one-third of the territoryâŠ
âThe remaining two-thirds are under the jurisdiction of Continent Fâs overlord, with all the scattered forces under his control.â
Di Ting had spent about half a year to clarify the distribution of powers in Continent F, where Mu Chengxiâs influence is already terrifying.
Although the overlord of Continent F doesnât control Mu Chengxi, to Mu
Chengxi, the overlord is also someone he wouldnât dare to confront lightly.
Thatâs why Continent F has been so peaceful and developed so rapidly over the years.
After listening to Yan Qingâs explanation, Chu Yunxuan felt even more fortunate she hadnât acted against that rugged man. She was also very curious about the consequences for those who did.
âWe better not get involved in this matter. Di Ting itself is an entity they are very cautious of. If the two of us were caught, even if the boss intervened, we might not escape unscathed.â
Yan Qing understood the layout and power dynamics of Continent F well. They had indeed been too arrogant recently, especially after rejecting several of their business offers, leading to more people investigating them. Itâs better to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Chu Yunxuan looked at Yan Qing. Although she didnât want to cause trouble, she wasnât afraid of it. She blinked her beautiful eyes at Yan Qing, âIf we add our forces in Continent M to Mu Chengxiâs, do you think we stand a chance against the overlord of Continent F?â
âAdd Mu Chengxi?â Yan Qing was incredulous at Chu Yunxuanâs suggestion. Mu Chengxi is from Continent F; why would he help them? Was Chu Yunxuan dreaming?
Why would Mu Chengxi possibly help us? Weâve rejected several of his orders. They hold grudges. If they caught us, getting off without a beating would already be lucky, let alone helping us. How could that be possible?â
âYouâll find out later. Letâs head back to the hotel for now. The matters of Continent F arenât our concern. Letâs go.â Chu Yunxuan patted Yan Qingâs shoulder mysteriously, her expression unreadable but smug, as she headed towards the hotel.
Yan Qing stood watching Chu Yunxuanâs retreating figure, feeling that ever since she returned from Wen Xinâs side, she was full of secrets, always so mysterious, making his already restless heart even more eager to meet Wen Xin.
The next morning, after dealing with the matters of the Geng family in Ice City, Mu Bei hurried back to the capital. He picked up an item at the capitalâs airport and headed straight to Lanzhi.
In the elevator, Mu Bei ran into that female neighbor again.
The neighbor was somewhat surprised to see Mu Bei; she thought he had sold the apartment to Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi and wouldnât appear in this complex again.
âHi, I thought I wouldnât see you again!â The neighbor initiated a conversation with Mu Bei. She had missed the opportunity to ask for his contact information last time and didnât want to miss it again.
Mu Bei was pressing the button for the floor when he heard a woman take the initiative to hit on him. His hand on the elevator button hesitated for a moment before he turned his head to look at the woman.â Are you talking to
âYeah, last time I saw you busy buying furniture for your house, and a few days later, someone else was living there. I thought I wouldnât see you again!â
The womanâs tone was full of regret, her gaze eagerly fixed on Mu Bei, making no attempt to hide her admiration.
Mu Bei wasnât new to such situations, instinctively stepping back. The woman was too enthusiastic, making him somewhat afraid.
âSorry, that wasnât actually my place. I was just purchasing furniture for my boss. Donât overthink it; Iâm just a worker, not worth your enthusiasm.â
As Mu Bei finished speaking, the elevator doors opened. He quickly dodged past the woman and ran out, heading straight for Mu Chengxiâs apartment.
When the woman saw Mu Beiâs flustered look, she was not in a hurry to chase after him. She crossed her arms around her chest and looked in Mu Beiâs direction meaningfully. She liked this man.
Standing at the door of Mu Chengxiâs home, Mu Bei forcefully patted his chest. This woman was indeed a bit frightening. No wonder Master Xi didnât like being pursued.
At that moment, the door was opened from the inside, and Liang Luoyu stood in front of it, looking at Mu Beiâs startled face. âAre you being chased for debts?
Why that expression?â
âNo, itâs nothing. Young Master Liang, how come youâre here at Master Xiâs so early?â
Mu Bei was surprised to see Liang Luoyu. He glanced at the time; it was just after eight oâclock. According to Miss Wenâs habits, this should be just the time to wake up.
âI just came to deliver breakfast. Mu Dong is not at home.â
Hearing that Mu Dong was not at home, Mu Beiâs eyes lit up, forgetting the incident just now. He immediately pushed past Liang Luoyu, changed into slippers, and walked into the living room.
At this time, Wen Xin was having breakfast with Mu Chengxi. Liang Luoyu was initially planning to leave, but seeing Mu Bei excitedly entering the living room, he became curious. So, he closed the door and followed him in. âMaster Xi, since Mu Dong is not here, do I still need to go back to Ice City?â
Not seeing Chengxi in the living room, Mu Bei headed to the dining room.
Indeed, in the dining room, Mu Chengxi was taking care of Wen Xinâs meal.
Hearing Mu Beiâs voice, Mu Chengxi looked up at Mu Bei, disregarding what
Mu Bei said, just giving him a faint look. âDid you bring back the thing I asked
âI brought it back.â Mu Bei remembered the real reason for his visit, quickly took out a delicate red cloth bag from his pocket and handed it to Mu Chengxi.
Mu Chengxi put down his chopsticks, took the red cloth bag from Mu Bei, and gently opened it. Seeing the jade emitting a red glow inside, he paused slightly.
Wen Xin noticed his action and also put down her chopsticks, looking towards Mu Chengxi.
âWhatâs that?â
âItâs the Warm Jade I bought for you, hoping it will be useful for your health.â Mu Chengxi placed the Warm Jade in front of Wen Xin, who squinted slightly at the jade..
