SSS-level catastrophe? That's my wife!

"Okay, whatever you say."

Gu Cang nodded, then pressed on, "So what is your true identity now?"

Lin Mu pointed behind him with his left hand, and Gu Cang raised an eyebrow: "What do you mean?"

"Jiangda College, huh? I'm a freshman this year. I just attended the opening ceremony today." Lin Mu chuckled self-deprecatingly.

? ? ? ? !

Gu Cang's lips twitched instantly, his expression becoming incredibly complex. He leaned closer to Lin Mu, asking incredulously, "Are you serious?"

"Yes, it's the real deal." Lin Mu nodded, then, as if remembering something, added, "Did Lü Ping come today?"

Gu Cang was completely convinced this time: "He just left two hours ago. He said the president of Jiang University invited him to speak at the freshman ceremony."

"Does anyone else know about this?" His expression became serious.

Lin Mu shook his head: "If you hadn't already left Zhen'e Court, I wouldn't have told you."

"What about the three of them?" Gu Cang asked with certainty.

"I bet they don't believe you're dead and will keep waiting for you to come back."

The conversation at the bar continued, but Xiaoman and Sanshi in the corner were completely confused.

"No way? The boss is such a man of few words, how could we have talked for so long?" Xiaoman stared wide-eyed, unable to believe her eyes.

San Shi thought for a moment and guessed, "Is it possible that Brother Gu felt sorry for him because he's not mentally stable?"

Xiaoman punched Sanshi: "Are you stupid?! Do you think Brother Gu would have any compassion?"

Just then, Lin Mu got up from the bar stool and walked towards the door.

As he passed by Xiaoman and Sanshi, he smiled slightly at them and said, "Thank you for your hospitality."

He pushed open the tavern door, but suddenly stopped in his tracks. Without turning his head, he said, "Gu Cang, you don't have much time left to wallow in despair."

As soon as he finished speaking, the door slowly closed.

Gu Cang smiled and lit another cigarette.

He lit a cigarette with a fancy gesture and murmured, "There's still some hope in this world."

Xiaoman and Sanshi were completely dumbfounded. They both rushed to the bar, wanting to find out what was going on.

But Gu Cang had already returned to his usual dejected state. He slumped in the leather chair and waved to the two of them: "You two clean up."

Xiaoman and Sanshi exchanged a glance and fell silent at the same time.

All the questions in my mind, I swallowed back down.

……

The top floor of the White Day Building.

"Two fifth-tier cultivators dare to run rampant in Zhen'e Court? Who gave them the guts?!"

Unable to contain his anger any longer, Qin Jiang slammed his fist on the hard long table in front of him, instantly splitting it in two.

Lou Ping was startled by the loud noise and his body trembled. He cursed the two idiots in his heart, but he forced himself to continue the report:

"There's one more thing... Chief Qinghe's exact words were that you should personally go there with sincerity."

"boom--"

The already broken long table was completely shattered into pieces by Qin Jiang's second punch.

Veins bulged on his forehead, and after a long while, his anger gradually subsided. He asked in a deep voice, "How are their injuries?"

"Shaoxing is alright, but Chang Ruan's hands were pierced and he needs to rest for a while," Lou Ping replied respectfully.

Qin Jiang sat back on the leather bench, slowly closed his eyes, and sighed, "You can go now. I'll handle this personally."

After Lou Ping left, he murmured to himself as he looked at the empty office:

"What day is it today? Is it some kind of day that's bringing bad luck to me?"

……

Yunjing Residential Area.

The rushing water stopped.

Lin Mu dried her hair and returned to the master bedroom, where she changed into a loose black nightgown.

I had just leaned against the headboard when my phone suddenly vibrated.

"Beautiful words and phrases come from the heavens, I've written three hundred poems in a frenzy..." The phone rang for only half a second before Lin Mu answered it.

A sweet female voice came from the other end of the phone: "Brother, what are you doing? Have you eaten?"

"I just got back from eating, what's up?" Lin Mu asked with a smile.

"It's okay. By the way, brother, just let me know if you ever need money. Your sister's salary is pretty high now!"

"Wow, our Yan Yan has really made something of herself. I'm basking in her glory too."

"No way! When I was in school, I relied on my brother's allowance to eat whatever I wanted."

"Okay, hang up if there's nothing else. Get some rest and don't overwork yourself. Your health is always the most important thing, you know?" Lin Mu said with concern.

"Wait! Don't hang up yet! There's something important I haven't told you yet!" Lin Yan's voice suddenly became urgent.

"Then tell me!" Lin Mu was amused.

"Hmph, all you do is rush me to hang up, just like my parents!" Lin Yan complained.

"I have three days off next month. I'll go home for one day and spend the remaining two days visiting you, okay?"

"It's no fun being alone when you're not home."

"And another thing! I brought something that will absolutely shock you! I guarantee you'll be dumbfounded!" She deliberately kept everyone in suspense.

"Okay, call me when you get back. The rented house has five bedrooms, all open to the public."

After a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone, an exclamation suddenly came: "No wonder the rent is so expensive!"

"Brother, how big is the house you rented?"

"Hmm... more than 200 square meters."

Lin Yan: …………

After hanging up the phone, Lin Yan lay on the soft bed in her dormitory, her brows furrowed.

The next second she suddenly jumped out of bed, her eyes shining:

"Something's not right! Something's definitely not right! Why would my brother rent such a big house?"

"Could it be... that he's keeping a mistress?!"

Family group chat and emergency broadcasts

After hanging up the phone, Lin Mu opened the official website for the first time in a long time and swiped his finger across the screen to browse the headlines.

The top trending topic remains: "The final battle, a resounding victory, the two Calamity Kings fall."

The second item was news of the establishment of the Daylight Organization...

"Beep, beep, beep—"

A series of messages suddenly popped up.

Lin Mu's lips curled up slightly as he opened the family group chat named "Raising Two Divine Beasts".

Lin Ye: You brat, how was the opening ceremony today? I haven't heard from you all day, you didn't miss it, did you?

Jiang Shuwan: I trust my son's character; he must be studying diligently.

Lin Ye: Honey, didn't you tell me to ask this??

A loud cry of pain suddenly came from a household in Wutong Residential Area...

Lin Mu: Don't worry at all. If I hadn't attended the opening ceremony, the school would have called my family long ago.

Jiang Shuwan: I knew it! My son is the best!

Lin Ye: Hey kid, how's the dorm? Getting along with your roommates?

Lin Mu: Everything is fine. We get along well and even had dinner together last night.

Lin Ye: Let me record a video to check out the environment.

Lin Mu: The lights are already off... My roommates all love to sleep.

Lin Yan: Huh!?

Lin Mu: What the heck!

Lin Yan: Waaah~ My brother is mean to me!

Jiang Shuwan: Talk to your sister properly, are you looking for a beating?

Lin Mu: I was wrong...

After the group chat ended, Lin Mu smiled helplessly and raised his hand to press the switch beside him.

The room instantly darkened, with only the night view of Jiangcheng visible through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Even lying in bed, you can overlook the entire neon-lit city.
