Qin Mu began his task of copying.
Fortunately, he did this often, so he had practically developed muscle memory for it.
After finishing Mu’er’s punishment, Qin Mengyu stood up and sat down in front of Lu Shuanger.
Watching the extraordinary Qin Mengyu approach, Lu Shuanger instantly became a bit restrained.
“I apologize for the display just now,” Qin Mengyu said with a hint of regret.
Lu Shuanger waved her hands hurriedly.
“No, not at all. If anything, I feel like I’m the one in the way here.”
Lu Shuanger had not expected that Qin Mu would be surrounded by such soul-stirring beauties—and two of them at that!
Not only were their appearances and temperaments top-tier, but their figures were also perfect.
Even Lu Shuanger found herself looking at them with envy.
While Lu Shuanger was observing Qin Mengyu, Qin Mengyu was also secretly sizing her up.
From her appearance, she was a young girl who looked to be about the same age as Mu’er.
Qin Mengyu knew exactly what kind of girls Mu’er liked.
First and foremost, they had to satisfy the ‘Big Sister’ archetype.
As for how she knew, she had naturally coaxed the truth out of him one time after Mu’er had drunk too much Spiritual Wine.
It definitely was not because she had secretly added some Truth Serum to the Spiritual Wine.
Furthermore, while tidying Mu’er’s room, she had discovered illustrated books hidden under his bed.
The characters inside were almost all curvaceous women with ‘Big Sister’ traits.
Lu Shuanger’s aura was at the Qi Refining Stage.
Although she was in the same realm as Mu’er, in Qin Mengyu’s sharp eyes, the girl clearly possessed thick True Qi and a solid foundation.
She could break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage at any moment.
“Miss Shuanger, I can call you that, right?”
“Of course, whatever the Holy Maiden prefers.”
Lu Shuanger did not yet know the name of the woman before her, but since she heard the subordinates calling her “Holy Maiden,” she followed suit.
“You said earlier that you came from the Southern Region?”
Qin Mengyu asked, a trace of suspicion in her eyes.
For someone at the Qi Refining Stage to travel from the Southern Region to the Eastern Region, the amount of Ling Stones consumed by Teleportation Arrays along the way would be no small sum.
Moreover, she was traveling all alone.
The more Qin Mengyu thought about it, the more suspicious it seemed.
“Mm-hmm,” Lu Shuanger nodded, then added, “To be precise, I came from the Wildlands in the Southern Region.”
‘Talk about a lucky break. Isn’t this too much of a coincidence?’
Although Qin Mengyu maintained a smile on the surface, doubt rose in her heart.
“Miss Shuanger, as far as I know, the people of the Wildlands almost never leave.”
Humans were strange creatures; they wanted to meet the right person at the right time and place, yet they also feared meeting the right person at the right time and place.
Lu Shuanger did not deny it.
“That’s true. Actually, the rules of our village forbid us from leaving the Wildlands without permission. That being said, the Wildlands are so vast that most people could never walk out of them in their entire lives.”
“In that case, why did you leave, Miss Shuanger? Is there some reason you had to come out?”
“Her Highness’s guess is correct. I’m here this time to find someone.”
“To find someone?”
“Yes. Not long ago, my Master said that while observing the stars at night, a bright star was about to shine. The person who can change the fate of the Gu Tribe has been born. I was sent to bring this person back to the Wildlands.”
“According to you, this person who can change fate is here in the Royal Capital?”
“That’s right! My Master is the High Priest of our village! In my memory, the celestial signs Master observes have never been wrong!”
After her series of questions, Qin Mengyu had a general understanding of the situation.
It seemed the person this girl claimed could change the Gu Tribe’s fate was very likely Mu’er.
After chatting for a few more minutes, Qin Mengyu stood up and led Lu Shuanger out, arranging an empty room for her to stay in temporarily.
Seeing her sister leave, Qin Ruoshuang stood up and walked over to Mu’er’s side.
At this moment, Young Master Qin was writing furiously.
At this rate, it would take him at least nearly 2 hours to finish.
Writing with a brush was so difficult; if only he had a ballpoint pen.
Better yet, three pens, so he could use his ultimate skill of writing with three pens at once!
As Qin Mu wrote, he suddenly smelled a clear, cool fragrance—it was the scent of Miss Ruoshuang!
“Miss Ruoshuang?”
Qin Mu watched as she sat down in front of him.
Qin Ruoshuang looked at the Family Rules Mu’er was copying.
He had already written several pages, and they were densely packed, but the handwriting… it looked like earthworms crawling.
For a cultivator, there was a specific method for copying text: driving the brush with True Qi and controlling it with Divine Sense.
If one’s Divine Sense was strong enough, they could control multiple brushes and write at incredible speeds.
However, the brush in Qin Mu’s hand was specially made; it was very difficult to drive with True Qi.
Besides, with his cultivation at the Qi Refining Stage, he hadn’t reached the level of meticulous control over True Qi required for such a feat.
Thus, Qin Mu had no choice but to copy it stroke by stroke.
But this brush was different in Qin Ruoshuang’s hands.
Qin Ruoshuang lightly tapped the brush with her fingertip.
In an instant, the brush seemed to come to life, beginning to write on the paper by itself.
Qin Mu was stunned.
“Wah, Miss Ruoshuang, you’re so kind!”
Young Master Qin was moved to tears of gratitude.
At this moment, Miss Ruoshuang seemed like a true goddess in his heart!
Qin Ruoshuang turned her beautiful eyes toward Mu’er.
“There’s a condition.”
‘A condition?’
Qin Mu looked at the brush working hard on the paper and patted his chest.
“Miss Ruoshuang, just name your condition. I definitely won’t refuse!”
Regardless of the request, Qin Mu believed that Miss Ruoshuang would never suggest a condition that would harm him.
The corners of Qin Ruoshuang’s mouth curled into a slight arc.
“I’ll tell you later.”
“Mu’er, you aren’t allowed to regret it.”
‘Later, huh? Well, later is fine.’
Qin Mu nodded vigorously.
“Of course! I definitely won’t go back on my word. Don’t you worry, Miss Ruoshuang!”

Inside the Demon Clan.
In a small room, a young man lay on a bed.
His handsome face was covered in bloodshot veins, looking somewhat terrifying.
Jing Kun had been here for some time now.
Other than someone coming in periodically to check his physical condition, there was nothing else to do.
The small, sealed room was completely empty, containing nothing but a single living person.
Creeeeeak.
The door was pushed open, and an elderly demon who looked like a grandfather entered.
The old man placed his palm over the Blood Pill in Jing Kun’s chest and closed his eyes to sense it carefully.
After a long while, he opened his eyes.
“Mm, the magic power is circulating well without any blockages. As expected of the candidate chosen by my Master.”
Having said that, the old man pulled out a Jade Slip and recorded the findings of his investigation into it in detail.
Seeing Jing Kun’s vacant eyes, the old man said, “Boy, pull yourself together. You have a great use—a very, very great use.”
Beneath his somber gaze, an irrepressible ambition flickered.
The Demon Clan had been preparing for this for a long time.
“Hahaha! In this era, my Demon Clan shall surely rule the world!”
Accompanied by arrogant laughter, the old man’s figure left the room.
As for Jing Kun lying on the bed, after hearing the old man’s words, a strange light flickered within his lifeless eyes.
