I cultivate immortality through The Sims.

"What do you think of Yang Mu?" The Pavilion Master of Yixiang Pavilion asked, looking at the handsome man in front of him, whose temperament was somewhat effeminate.

The effeminate man smiled enigmatically: "This person is a talent!"

Yang Mu had only been gone for less than fifteen minutes.

Yixiang Pavilion had no reason not to agree to Yang Mu's request.

As long as Yang Mu doesn't have any unusual fetishes and won't harm female customers, it won't do Yixiang Pavilion any harm.

This effeminate man is the second Nascent Soul expert of Yixiang Pavilion.

The effeminate man spoke, but then added:

"That kid didn't come unprepared."

At this point, the effeminate man said with a half-smile:

"His lover, who was at the peak of the Golden Core stage, also came to the vicinity of Yixiang Pavilion."

"and..."

At this point, the effeminate man said with certainty:

"She exuded a faint aura of a Nascent Soul cultivator."

"In fact, with my abilities, I wouldn't be able to take her down in a short time."

Upon hearing this, the Pavilion Master of Yixiang Pavilion was immediately taken aback:

"Could it be true, as that kid said, that person wasn't actually at the peak of the Golden Core stage?"

The effeminate man took a deep breath and slowly exhaled:

"It's hard to say!"

"Either she also concealed her cultivation level using a secret technique, or she possesses a Nascent Soul treasure."

Upon hearing this, Yixiang Pavilion immediately replied:

"I'm more inclined to believe they have some secret method!"

"Otherwise, according to your speculation, Yang Mu must also possess a secret treasure that is at least at the Golden Core level."

"What are his qualifications? How could he possibly possess two secret treasures at the Golden Core stage or higher?"

The effeminate man pondered for a moment before speaking:

"But no matter what, Yang Mu's current strength is enough to make us and Zhao Qingshi do our best to win him over."

"Now, we only have two choices."

"We should either do everything we can to win him over!"

"Either we go all out and kill him!"

The head of Yixiang Pavilion nodded, agreeing with this statement.

Although Zhao Qingshi is the city lord of Fuqin City, what she can give, my Yixiang Pavilion can give in the same way.

What Zhao Qingshi cannot give, Yixiang Pavilion can still give.

Compared to Zhao Qingshi, my Yixiang Pavilion can provide what Yang Mu and Zhao Qingshi cannot.

And this is exactly what Yang Mu likes.

It's a woman!

Taking him out with all our might would be extremely risky!

If they were in the city, and couldn't instantly kill Yang Mu and his lover who had reached the Golden Core stage, it would inevitably attract the attention of the City Lord's Mansion.

At that time, the city lord's mansion will use its power to suppress others.

Even if they are both Nascent Soul cultivators, they most likely wouldn't be able to leave Fuqin City.

This also affected Yixiang Pavilion's plan to come to Fuqin City.

If the plan fails, even if they are both Nascent Soul experts, they will definitely be in deep trouble.

Thinking of this, the Pavilion Master of Yixiang Pavilion smiled slightly and said:

Fortunately, we made contact with him first.

"We still have Xiao Lianyi as a chess piece in our hand."

But the effeminate man shook his head slightly:

"We're too late."

The Pavilion Master of Yixiang Pavilion's expression immediately changed:

"You mean Duan Qingshi has already contacted him?"

"Or has Duan Qingshi already captured him?"

"If that's the case, how dare he come here?"

The effeminate man did not answer immediately, but instead walked to the window and looked at the bright moon in the sky, as well as the occasional cultivator flying by:

"If I'm not mistaken, Duan Qingshi should have already contacted him on the day Yixiang Pavilion opened."

"But I don't know what kind of promise Duan Qingshi made to him."

"After all, we have Ying Haicheng behind us."

"What Duan Qingshi can give him, we can also give, and we can give even more."

"What Duan Qingshi can't give him, we can give him, and we can give him a lot more!"

The last two sentences sound like the murmurs of an effeminate man.

After a moment of silence, the effeminate man continued:

"The method to find out if he is now Duan Qingshi's man is actually very simple."

"If he didn't have any contact with Duan Qingshi afterward, then it means he was Duan Qingshi's man."

"If he then comes into contact with Duan Qingshi, it means that Duan Qingshi has not completely subdued him."

The Pavilion Master of Yixiang Pavilion was taken aback at first, but quickly understood: the reason for not contacting Duan Qingshi was that he was worried that Yixiang Pavilion would discover something amiss.

Yang Mu is no longer a simple Foundation Establishment cultivator; he has a lover with the strength of a Nascent Soul cultivator standing beside him.

At the same time, Qian Wantu also intentionally or unintentionally stood with Yang Mu.

If it were just a Nascent Soul cultivator, Yixiang Pavilion could plan to send two Nascent Soul cultivators to kill him.

However, if Qian Wantu were to intervene at this moment, Yang Mu would then have two Nascent Soul experts by his side.

Furthermore, given the influence of Qian Wantu, even with Ying Haicheng backing Yixiang Pavilion, they had to think twice before making any decisions.

If they can't kill Yang Mu, then they're essentially pushing Yang Mu to Duan Qingshi's side.

This inexplicably gave Duan Qingshi a Nascent Soul-level boost.

The future is even more uncertain.

Therefore, the best course of action for dealing with Yang Mu is to try to win him over.

A brute-force attack is the worst possible strategy.

As the Pavilion Master of Yixiang Pavilion pondered, he heard the effeminate man still muttering to himself:

"Given Duan Qingshi's methods, she should have known about Yang Mu's background much earlier than we did."

"To know Yang Mu's preferences earlier."

"We have Xiao Lianyi's initiative, the prestige of Yixiang Pavilion, and the support of Ying Haicheng."

"She should know that we have a better chance of winning."

"If she wants to completely win over Yang Mu, she has to give us what we can't."

"So what exactly is it that she can give, but we can't?"

...

Having received a reply from Yixiang Pavilion, Yang Mu naturally wouldn't stay there indefinitely.

For some reason, Qian Wantu also lost interest in spending money at Yixiang Pavilion and insisted on sending Yang Mu back.

Even after arriving at the South Peak, Qian Wantu earnestly invited Yang Mu to visit his cave.

Unable to refuse, Yang Mu had no choice but to go to Qian Wantu's cave.

The interior of Qian Wantu's cave dwelling was naturally luxurious.

But Yang Mu naturally didn't want Qian Wantu to put on an air of superiority, so he deliberately acted as if he was used to it.

Qian Wantu, however, had no time to care about any of this:

"Brother Yang, what's going on in your head? How could you make such an outrageous request!"

"You really opened my eyes to something new tonight!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Mu naturally guessed that Qian Wantu wanted to find out his secrets.

As for safety, Yang Mu was naturally not too worried.

Even if that pretty servant were a Nascent Soul expert, Qian Wantu and she wouldn't be able to kill him instantly if he disregarded the cost.

If they cannot kill him instantly, Wan Zi and Duan Qingshi will inevitably appear.

Although it's not certain that I'll get the money or anything.

But Qian Wantu's plans in Fuqin City were definitely not going to work out.

Moreover, with Qian Wantu's abilities and insight, he had naturally already seen that both the City Lord's Mansion and Yixiang Pavilion were trying to win him over.

Qian Wantu couldn't see through his true cultivation level and combat strength.

Therefore, taking all factors into consideration, Qian Wantu, who is greedy and lustful, naturally has no reason to be detrimental to himself.

Yang Mu had already taken a sip of the spiritual tea, and its quality was exactly the same as the one Duan Qingshi had served that night.

"I'm rather greedy!"

Qian Wantu seemed to be deep in thought, vaguely feeling that there was some truth to what he said, but his intuition told him that the words seemed to be pointing at him.

Could it be that he has already seen through my plan to reap the benefits?

I see through your plan: I want to control him, and thus control the overall situation in Fuqin City.

There's no reason for it!

That shouldn't be happening!

Thinking of this, Qian Wantu tentatively looked at Yang Mu, only to see Yang Mu drinking one cup of spirit tea that cost 10,000 spirit stones, one after another.

This doesn't seem like someone who's seen the world!

Has he never seen much of the world? Yet he remained so calm in Yixiang Pavilion.

Was he putting on an act for me?
