I cultivate immortality through The Sims.

Chapter 78 Yang Mu's Purpose

Yang Mu was fully aware of Qian Wantu's ulterior motives.

It's highly likely that Qian Wantu intends to figure out his own background before assessing his own value.

Based on his assessment of the value, Qian Wantu would consider the extent to which he would side with him.

As long as his value is great enough, great enough that he can turn against Yixiang Pavilion.

Qian Wantu was his most steadfast ally.

Thinking about this, Yang Mu wondered if he should reveal some knowledge about modern market economics to him.

Although this world is a world of cultivation, it also has a currency.

Where there is currency, there must be an economy.

While college students who receive holistic education may not be experts in any one subject, they are likely to have some knowledge of various industries.

Even if you only know a little bit, it's enough to get by in this world of cultivation.

However, there are some things that are not yet ready to be revealed.

Qian Wantu and Yang Mu each had their own agendas, chatting away as if they were truly brothers with a deep bond.

"Brother Yang, you have no idea how scared I was today!" Qian Wantu looked terrified. "There are two Nascent Soul experts at Yixiang Pavilion. I was really afraid they were intent on killing you, and I couldn't protect you!"

As they chatted, Qian Wantu steered the conversation back to Yixiang Pavilion.

Yang Mu rolled his eyes: "Speaking of which, I have to say something."

"You caused all of this."

"If it weren't for you, I would never have gone to Yixiang Pavilion!"

"That's about all the trouble you have."

Qian Wantu felt a sudden tightness in his chest when he heard Yang Mu say that.

But seeing that Yang Mu was just saying it, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother, I'm giving my word at Yixiang Pavilion today."

"Say you're not from the City Lord's Mansion."

"Don't you dare trick me!"

Sure enough, the fox finally showed its tail.

Upon hearing this, Yang Mu did not speak, but instead gave Qian Wantu a meaningful smile.

Qian Wantu's expression immediately changed: "Don't tell me, you're already a member of the City Lord's Mansion!"

"Heh!" Yang Mu chuckled lightly, poured himself a cup of spiritual tea, and said nothing.

You want to get information from me?

It's not that simple!

If you find out whether I'm from the City Lord's Mansion or not, then you can control me, right?

How could I possibly give away my secrets!

Qian Wantu immediately realized that Yang Mu was already on guard, and couldn't help but curse inwardly:

Is this guy really that sensitive and cautious?

Looks like we need to bring out something real!

Thinking of this, Qian Wantou immediately asked mysteriously, "Do you know why Yixiang Pavilion wants to win you over?"

"Or rather, do you know why Yixiang Pavilion is so eager to recruit high-combat-power individuals?"

Is it finally time to get serious?

Yang Mu sneered inwardly.

"I've always wondered!" Yang Mu feigned confusion, "For a place like this to make such a big splash, aren't they afraid of attracting attention?"

Qian Wantu immediately revealed a smug smile: "I happen to know a little about this."

At this point, Qian Wantu stopped talking.

After all, this matter can be considered a secret, a power struggle between Fuqin City and Yinghai City, and even between the high-level officials behind both cities.

How can such a secret be revealed so easily?

Qian Wantu stopped there, wanting Yang Mu to ask the question first.

Yang Mu couldn't just listen to such a big secret!

We need to offer some real secrets in exchange.

To everyone's surprise, Yang Mu's next sentence caught Qian Wantu completely off guard: "Oh well, it doesn't matter!"

"If the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up."

"If all else fails, I'll just run away!"

Qian Wantu naturally knew that this was Yang Mu's excuse for not wanting to lose the initiative.

If Yang Mu wanted to leave, he should have slipped away as soon as possible after ruining Yixiang Pavilion's plans on the first night.

"Brother Yang, you're oversimplifying things!" Qian Wantu pondered for a moment before speaking, "Do you know that Yixiang Pavilion has two Nascent Soul stage experts behind it!"

"A brothel has two Nascent Soul stage experts in charge."

"Brother Yang, aren't you surprised?"

"To be honest, I'm not surprised at all!" Yang Mu replied immediately, without even thinking.

Qian Wantu was stunned for a moment: No, your answer was too smooth.

"No! You're strange!" Qian Wantu said in a muffled voice.

"I'm really not surprised!" Yang Mu said helplessly.

"You're strange!" Qian Wantu said, emphasizing each word.

Yang Mu glanced at Qian Wantu, who was on the verge of exploding, and immediately changed his tune: "Okay, okay! I'm surprised!"

What the hell is that?!

I've already received interest from Zhao Qingshi, so I'm practically half a person to him now.

I already know all these secrets.

You're telling me this now?

"Because Yixiang Pavilion is about to do something big!" Qian Wantu said solemnly, pointing at Yang Mu.

Yang Mu, however, seemed rather uninterested.

No, buddy, I'm exhausted from playing along with your performance!

In your eyes, I am a clever person who knows nothing.

In my eyes, you're such a silly goose who doesn't know that I already know!

This will lower my opinion of you and cause me to make mistakes.

Thinking this through, Yang Mu carefully chose his words and said, "Brother Qian, aren't we both smart people?"

No!

I know we are both smart people, but what you did and said today doesn't seem like the behavior of a smart person!

Qian Wantu couldn't understand what Yang Mu meant for a moment, but he just nodded subconsciously.

"So, we smart people don't beat around the bush!" Yang Mu immediately made his stance clear: "Brother Qian, you invited me here today, so please just say what you want to say directly."

"Or, Brother Qian, if you have any business in Fuqin City, you can simply say so!"

"We're brothers, right?"

"We don't want any unnecessary misunderstandings caused by unclear information or purposes!"

Qian Wantu was surprised to hear Yang Mu's bluntness.

These things shouldn't be left unsaid; it's enough to keep them to oneself. Why bring them out into the open?

"Brother Yang, what do you want to achieve?" Qian Wantu put away his affected expression and asked solemnly.

"I'm very simple!" Yang Mu said, half-jokingly and half-seriously, "I just want to sleep with more women!"

Qian Wantu had long ago guessed Yang Mu's purpose in staying in Fuqin City.

If it's your first time here, it's because Fuqin City is big enough and has a lot of people, so there will be more opportunities.

With Yang Mu's intelligence, he must have known that he had already ruined Yixiang Pavilion's plans that night.

Furthermore, he had reminded him at the time that there was a Nascent Soul cultivator in Yixiang Pavilion.

If it were anyone else, upon hearing that they had offended a force with a Nascent Soul cultivator in charge, they would naturally think of fleeing immediately.

But Yang Mu showed no intention of running away at all.

At that time, I was certain that Yang Mu had chosen to stay for some reason.

For a time, he even had doubts that Zhao Qingshi had already been taken under the wing of the city lord's mansion, hoping to rise above others and gain resources and status by relying on Zhao Qingshi.

However, during that period, Yang Mu had no contact with anyone from the City Lord's Mansion, which made him start to lose confidence again.

But Yang Mu said that he just wanted to sleep with more women.
