The item Qin Mu pulled out was simple—the token Aunt Lu had given him.
The Sect Leader’s Decree.
Just as it was written in martial arts novels, seeing this decree was like seeing the person themselves.
Qin Mu confidently produced the token, waiting for the person in front of him to offer an apology in the Tiger Dropping Style.
However, things didn’t seem to go exactly as Qin Mu had anticipated.
“Fine! Not only do you ignore the sect rules, but you even dare to forge a Sect Leader’s Decree!”
Li Wenji spoke with righteous indignation, acting as if he were some noble character of great integrity.
Qin Mu: “???”
“Senior Brother, what I have in my hand is the Sect Leader’s Decree. Ignoring it like this is a sign of disrespect to the Sect Leader.”
“Sect Leader’s Decree? What Sect Leader’s Decree! All I know is that someone is bold enough to actually dare forge a Sect Leader’s Decree!”
In truth, Li Wenji had recognized the item in Qin Mu’s hand as the real deal the moment he saw it; the soul fluctuation on the token couldn’t be mistaken.
But if Li Wenji actually admitted it, this brat would definitely use the Sect Leader’s Decree to refuse him any way to save face.
This was becoming difficult to handle.
Qin Mu hadn’t expected the person before him to be even thicker-skinned than himself.
It seemed he still needed to study humbly; as the saying goes, a tree without bark will surely die, but a man without shame is Invincibility.
“Heh! Kid, today’s matter…”
Before Li Wenji could finish his sentence, he suddenly pulled out a Communication Jade.
“Hello? It’s me. What! Wangcai is about to give birth! I’m coming back to check!”
“Consider yourself lucky today. I’ll let you off for now, but next time, I’ll definitely make you look good!”
After dropping those harsh words, Li Wenji fled without looking back.
Qin Mu stood frozen in place like a fool, looking at the Sect Leader’s Decree in his hand.
“So… was I successful? Or did I fail?”
Feeling lost, Qin Mu put away the Sect Leader’s Decree and went downstairs.
Since a large portion of the disciples currently at the Imperial Capital Branch had successfully completed their Trial Mission, many of them had obtained opportunities and had run off to the backyard for Closed Cultivation.
Compared to a few days ago, there were indeed significantly fewer people in the branch hall now.
Just as Qin Mu reached the bottom of the stairs, a figure rushed over and grabbed him by the collar, shaking him back and forth.
“Brother Qin! I truly envy you so much!”
“Wait!”
Dizzy from the shaking, Qin Mu quickly broke free and finally saw clearly who was in front of him.
Chen Kai.
At this moment, Chen Kai was looking at Qin Mu like a hungry wolf.
Such a gaze made the Young Master back away a few steps in fright.
Then, Chen Kai suddenly lunged forward and hugged Qin Mu’s leg, crying out with tears and snot, “Brother Qin! Please, teach your little brother!”
Qin Mu was instantly dumbfounded. No, what was this all about?
“Teach what? Brother Chen, what are you talking about?”
“Brother Qin, stop pretending.”
Chen Kai stood up, his tone full of envy.
“Brother Qin, not only are you close with Senior Sister Liu, but you’re even all lovey-dovey with the Holy Maiden of the Dan Sect. Such methods of galloping through the field of love are truly enviable. Please, Brother Qin, teach me everything you know. Even if I have to sell everything I own, I won’t treat Brother Qin poorly.”
Good heavens, he was here to ask for tips on his flirting skills.
The problem was, Qin Mu’s own skill in that department was also a blank slate.
“To be honest, Brother Chen, it’s not that I won’t help you, it’s that I’m truly powerless.”
If the Young Master actually had such skills, the number of women whose hands he had held wouldn’t still be countable on one hand.
He would have changed partners once a day—no, three times a day.
Mature ladies, young girls, beast-eared girls—he would have taken them all under his banner.
Don’t underestimate the Young Master’s abilities.
The Young Master firmly believed that by relying on his strengths, he could definitely warm their (crossed out) deepest souls and bring them physical and mental pleasure.
What about lollies?
That was a “straight-to-jail” offense; he didn’t dare think about it. Of course, legal ones were still okay, but the “legal lolly” attribute was too rare, comparable to an SSR, and they weren’t the Young Master’s cup of tea anyway—pass.
As a dedicated lover of older women, Qin Mu declared that he would resolutely refuse to associate with sister-complexes or lolly-complexes!
Of course, appreciating them was still fine.
After all, everyone has a love for beauty, not for any other reason but for one’s own happiness.
Seeing Qin Mu’s face that looked like he truly didn’t have any tips, Chen Kai gave a knowing smile.
“I understand, I understand. I was too hasty and didn’t let Brother Qin feel my sincerity.”
Clack.
Chen Kai grabbed Qin Mu and started heading outside.
“Hey! Wait, wait a minute!”
Looking at this posture, it seemed like he was going to drag Qin Mu out.
If he got caught by Mengyu, he would definitely die a miserable death tonight.
“Brother Chen, whatever it is, I think we should talk here.”
For the sake of his own life, Qin Mu heartlessly rejected Chen Kai.
Seeing Qin Mu’s insistence, Chen Kai had no choice but to give up.
“Fine, since it’s like this, please accept these things, Brother Qin.”
Chen Kai pulled out a book and stuffed it into Qin Mu’s hands.
Qin Mu looked at the cover, which had the large words “Exclusive Secret Manual for Men” written on it.
“What does this mean? I won’t understand it even if you give it to me.”
Qin Mu didn’t understand what use Chen Kai giving him a cultivation manual would be; he really couldn’t understand them.
Currently, Qin Mu’s techniques were only learned because his two sisters, or Aunt Lu and Aunt Yan’er, had personally taught him.
As for things like Martial Arts Manuals that relied on comprehension… sorry, the Young Master had tried, but he just couldn’t grasp them.
What use was that?
It was less interesting than folding paper airplanes.
Chen Kai acted all mysterious, winking and nudging him.
“Trust me, Brother Qin, you’ll definitely understand this at a glance.”
Looking at Chen Kai’s expression, Qin Mu instantly got that “only men understand” look.
“Oh—”
Qin Mu also pointed at Chen Kai and laughed.
Just like that, the two shared a knowing smile—a tacit understanding unique to men.
“Is it good stuff?”
Qin Mu said in a low voice.
“Absolutely good stuff. Whether it’s the artwork or the attention to detail, it’s perfectly in place.”
Chen Kai glanced around, and after confirming that not many people were paying attention, he continued, “Moreover, there’s a Soul Jade included inside. Brother Qin, you can inject your Soul into it for an immersive experience.”
What!
Qin Mu was stunned.
There was even this kind of high technology!
“Very well, Brother Chen. After I go back and savor it carefully, I’ll condense my thoughts into eight hundred words and send them to you.”
Chen Kai thought the “thoughts” Qin Mu mentioned referred to how to level up his flirting skills.
“Then it’s a deal, Brother Qin. I’ll wait for your good news.”
Qin Mu patted Chen Kai’s shoulder, turned around, and went upstairs with a determined gaze.
Arriving at the door of the Room, Qin Mu’s hands trembled slightly.
This secret manual of his… it wouldn’t be discovered by Mengyu, would it?
No, no!
Qin Mu shook his head. He had tucked it securely into his Storage Pouch; Mengyu wouldn’t find it.
He touched the Storage Pouch, and after ensuring everything was foolproof, he took a deep breath and pushed open the door.
Inside the Room, Qin Mengyu had just finished refining a Pill.
“Mu’er!”
Qin Mengyu immediately stood up, a round Pill sitting in the palm of her hand.
“You’ve come at the perfect time. Here, come taste the new Pill Sister just refined.”
Qin Mu didn’t dare to delay and took the Pill from Mengyu’s hand.
“Oh, okay, Mengyu.”
After swallowing it, a burst of heat instantly flared up in his lower abdomen.
“Mengyu… this… this is?”
“Mu’er, hold your breath and focus. Perform Qi Guiding to lead the Qi Strength throughout your body.”
Hearing this, Qin Mu hurriedly sat down and closed his eyes, moving the True Qi in his body to perform Qi Guiding on the Qi Strength.
Qin Mengyu watched Mu’er enter his state and nodded with satisfaction.
Then, with a wave of her hand, the Storage Pouch at Qin Mu’s waist landed in his sister Qin Mengyu’s hand.
Releasing her Soul to sense it, she found that the Talismans and Pills inside the Storage Pouch, as well as the Danfire she had left for Mu’er, had decreased quite a bit.
As for why Qin Mengyu could see the inside of the Storage Pouch—generally, Storage Pouches had anti-peeking functions—the reason was that she had personally refined this Storage Pouch for Mu’er.
“It seems I should restock some resources for Mu’er.”
Qin Mengyu pulled a large handful of Talismans from her own Storage Pouch, preparing to put them into her brother’s Storage Pouch.
Suddenly, her beautiful brows furrowed slightly as Qin Mengyu sensed an unfamiliar object.
With a flick of her finger, a book landed in her hand.
What kind of strange name was this?
Why would Mu’er have something like this?
Filled with doubt, Qin Mengyu flipped open the secret manual.
