I'll also work hard to conquer the dungeon today.

Chapter 62, Section 1.4: The Fog Tracking Battle

Upon hearing Dao Lin speak, Mu Ye Gui turned her head slightly to look at him, bowed very politely, and introduced herself in a serious manner, "Nice to meet you. I am Mu Ye Gui, the alternate personality of Mu Yin. I am grateful for your care of the main personality these days. Please forgive me for any shortcomings in my behavior."

Dao Lin: "..." I'm not used to the other person's serious demeanor. Mu Yin has always been the one with a playful and smiling face.

“You don’t have to use honorifics. I’m not used to it.” Dao Lin rubbed his forehead, suddenly feeling a headache. He felt that this Mu Ye Gui, who called himself a secondary personality, was even more difficult to understand than Mu Yin.

"I'm sorry, but... you?" After much deliberation, Mu Yegui finally settled on a solution.

“I did hear your question before, but Xiao Yin and I are unregistered, so these kinds of titles don’t apply to us.” Except for the title of Crown Prince.

Dao Lin suddenly realized what Mu Yegui was saying and quickly stopped her, saying, "You don't have to say it."

“Xiao Yin and I were judged as two separate people, so I did not participate in your instance. The rules do not apply to me.” Mu Yegui shook his head, then added, “The one you really need to protect is already in your arms.”

In his arms?
Dao Lin looked down at the black cloak and saw a small white fur ball slowly crawling out of the hood, its eyes closed, seemingly just sleepwalking unconsciously.

"To put it another way, Xiao Yin and I are like Xiao Jin's power levelers. Does that sound strange?" Mu Yegui said slowly, his eyes fixed on Jin Yin.

Upon hearing Mu Yegui's explanation, Dao Lin instantly understood. So that's how it is. No wonder Mu Yin imposed so many restrictions.

However, Dao Lin was unaware that he had made a slight mistake. The reason Mu Yin was so heavily restricted was entirely because his combat power was too terrifying. Not restricting him would be extremely unfair to either side.

"Have you finished chatting?" Fish walked over with a stern face, his clothes still impeccably clean, as if he wasn't the one who had just been kicked away.

"Daolin, may I call you that?" Mu Yegui approached Daolin and asked softly.

Daolin paused for a moment, then nodded.

“Well then, you should leave and rejoin your teammates. It’s fine if Xiao Yincan doesn’t participate; you can continue the dungeon with Xiao Jin. Fei Xiu and I still have things to discuss, so let’s say goodbye here. As for the clothes and Xiao Jin, return them to me next time we meet. With your intelligence, you shouldn’t die in this kind of dungeon.” Mu Yegui approached the wall, raised his foot, and gently kicked it. With a 'bang,' the wall was easily destroyed.

"Let's go." Mu Yegui waved goodbye to Dao Lin.

In reality, she had no connection with Dao Lin at all; she only handed over the gold and silver to allow Dao Lin to continue the dungeon quest out of respect for Mu Yin. Moreover, she didn't argue with Mu Yin; it was just that Mu Yin unilaterally thought she was angry.

However, since Mu Yin thought she was angry, it meant he didn't want to see her. Therefore, Mu Ye Gui decided to grant Mu Yin's wish and temporarily stay away from him. Who knew that Fei Xiu would suddenly come to cause trouble? She had originally planned to wait until Mu Yin finished this instance before appearing.

This is the second time Fish has trespassed into the dungeon. Is the dungeon barrier just a thin membrane in front of this guy?

"Xiao Ye Gui is really ruthless, kicking me as soon as she came out." Fei Xiu said casually, a gentle smile on her lips, but a hint of madness was hidden in her eyes.

Mu Yegui was silent for a moment, then looked at him and asked, "Is something the matter?"

"In the Gem Street of the Kingdom of Truth, a wealthy businessman is preparing to exhibit one of the world's rarest gems. However, a few days ago, he received a notice that he was to steal it on February 8th. As an invited guest, I couldn't bear to see the businessman lose his beloved gem, so I naturally prepared to help him."

“This doesn’t seem to be within your scope of business.” Mu Yegui pointed out, his cool silver eyes fixed on Fish. Fish chuckled and admitted, “It’s not, but I want the wealthy businessman to owe me a favor. Money can always get a lot done.”

"You can't participate." If he could participate, Fisch would never have sought help from anyone. So one thing is certain: although Fisch can enter and exit any instance, the rules won't include him. Just like the first instance he encountered, he simply appeared out of thin air, but whatever he did wouldn't be recognized by the rules.

“I’m just an invited guest. If I want to participate in the investigation, I still need you guys, so I came to you.” Fishu didn’t intend to hide anything from Mu Yegui and revealed almost all of his ambitions.

Mu Yegui couldn't just agree on a whim. Her first thought was the consequences of agreeing to Fei Xiu's offer. "If I'm not mistaken, your invitation will make me an additional third party. After all, a wealthy businessman can't possibly not request protection from the security detail and invite detectives for help."

"Are you scared?" Fish chuckled as he looked at Mu Yegui and asked in return.

"Then I'll leave it to you, Fei Xiu." Mu Yegui slowly walked towards Fei Xiu, looked up at him, and said softly.

With his slender hand, he gently lifted a strand of hair from Mu Yegui's side. He lowered his head slightly and touched it with his thin lips, a charming smile curving his lips. His voice was low and husky, filled with the tenderness of someone speaking to a lover, "I look forward to the time we spend together."

Mu Yegui was taken aback. Had this person misunderstood something? She hadn't said anything strange. Or was it just that Fei Xiu was overthinking things?

"I might need your cooperation next." Fishu extended a hand to Mu Yegui, her expression gentle and captivating.

Mu Yegui looked down at the hand outstretched in front of her, remaining silent as if considering whether she should place her hand on it.

"Would I lie to you?" Fish leaned down slightly and whispered in Mu Yegui's ear.

You may not lie, but that doesn't mean you won't hide anything.

Although these were Mu Yegui's thoughts, she never showed any doubt on her face. Her expression remained calm as always. In the end, she obediently took Fei Xiu's hand and let him lead her away from the ruins.

Dao Lin, who had been hiding in the corner and hadn't left, listened to the entire conversation between the two. He held the black cloak in his arms with one hand, and his icy blue eyes held a deep, unfathomable light.

"February 8th... If we hurry, we can still make it..." Dao Lin tightened his grip on the black cloak slightly, then took a deep breath as if he had made up his mind and walked into the depths of the ruins.

The date in the book is not consistent with the actual time; it should be January 22nd.

Some readers may not understand the concept of dual male leads, so let me explain. The so-called dual male lead structure involves one male lead focusing on the plot and the other on the romance. However, this is a technique I usually use. I don't know how others write it, but this is at least how I do it.

Similarly, in this story, Ling Tong is the male lead because he has a very important plotline and needs to play a role in driving the story forward. Mu Yin was placed as the male lead because I couldn't find a suitable position for him, but he also plays a role in driving the plot, though with some differences. His existence is extremely important to Mu Ye Gui, and he is essentially the main character in the romance.

Regardless of which one, their screen time is more than any male supporting character, and they play an important role in driving the plot forward, which is why they are called male leads.

Simply put, Ling Tong's male lead is different in terms of plot, while Mu Yin's male lead is different in terms of romance.

Of course, there is no real male lead, because there is no real couple. You can pair up and position the characters however you like.
