One person: plays Wendy, the most carefree director of Nadu.

Seeing Fu Rong's expression as if she wanted to destroy the world, Su Mu smiled.

He stepped forward and reached out to pat Fu Rong's head.

"Okay, that's enough."

Everyone has a past they'd rather not face.

"And in my opinion, those times you had, though silly, were really cute."

Feeling the warmth above her head, Fu Rong, who had just been patted on the head by Su Mu, raised her eyes in disbelief.

"Don't you...don't you think I was stupid before?"

"No, of course not, after all..."

"Who hasn't encountered a couple of idiots?"

Upon hearing Su Mu's words, tears welled up in Fu Rong's eyes, and she suddenly threw herself into Su Mu's arms.

"Su Mu!"

"How can you be so kind!"

Su Mu smiled and hugged Fu Rong, saying, "Actually, my situation is just normal."

"Perhaps you've encountered too many wrong answers, so seeing my correct answer made you lose your focus."

Fu Rong struggled out of Su Mu's arms, blushing as she wiped away her tears.

"I'm sorry, I...am I being too dramatic?"

"You still have things to do, right?"

"Go ahead and do it, don't worry about me."

"Or rather, is there anything I can help you with?"

"If that's what you're going to say..."

Su Mu's lips curled into a playful smile.

"Then help us fight Ma Xianhong."

"This..." Fu Rong hesitated.

In any case, Ma Xianhong did take me in and helped me avoid a lot of debt collection from banks.

It's one thing if you don't help Ma Xianhong, but are you going to kick him when he's down?

Seeing her expression, Su Mu knew what she was thinking.

"I also know that you may feel guilty towards Ma Xianhong."

"That way, you won't have to exert much effort. Just make a few cuts and cut off a few of Ma Xianhong's magical artifacts."

"That works too," Fu Rong nodded.

Anyway, Ma Xianhong has a lot of magical artifacts on him, and each one is of very high quality.

No matter how hard I try, I can't possibly destroy many.

"Oh, and remember to use the knife I gave you to do the cutting when the time comes."

"That way, Zhang Chulan and the others will know that you're one of us, understand?"

"OK."

Fu Rong nodded, turned around and went into the house to get the tigerfish knife, then headed towards the center of the village.

At that moment, a loud bang was heard, and the night sky was dyed red by the fire.

Su Mu looked at the burning flames and murmured to himself.

"The fire has finally been lit."

"Then, it's time to collect the core of the Body Cultivation Furnace."

After saying that, Su Mu spread his Wind God Wings and soared into the sky, flying towards the pavilion where the Body Cultivation Furnace was located.

However, before he could fly very far, he saw Zhuge Qing running on the ground.

Moreover, judging from the direction he was heading, he was probably going towards the cultivation furnace.

What was he doing there?

Su Mu frowned slightly.

Although Zhuge Qing was invited by Ma Xianhong to join Biyou Village, the reason he stayed was for the purpose of obtaining the Divine Hundred Refinements.

The Zhuge Liang school excels in two main areas—

The Divine Strategies of Wuhou.

However, in the original novel, during the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony, Wuhou Qimen was completely outmatched by Wang Ye's Feng Hou Qimen.

Although this particular event doesn't happen now, Zhuge Qing glimpsed its profound mystery when he saw Wang Ye pass on the Feng Hou Qi Men technique to him.

After the Wang family incident in the capital, Wuhou Shenji was blown up eight streets by Ruhua, a character created by Shenji Bailian.

Zhuge Qing's Dao heart had long been shattered.

Ma Xianhong also gave Zhuge Qing a copy of the Divine Strategies Hundred Refinements booklet so that Zhuge Qing could practice it.

Zhuge Qing then stayed.

However, in the original story, he did not cultivate the Divine Hundred Refinements; instead, he overcame his inner demons and comprehended the ultimate technique of the Wuhou School.

Samadhi Fire!

Therefore, from Zhuge Qing's perspective, he had absolutely no reason to help Ma Xianhong.

Even in the original novel, none of what he did helped Ma Xianhong at all.

So what was he doing there?

Su Mu couldn't figure it out, so he prepared to get down and ask.

But before he could land, Fu Rong, who had just left, arrived.

Upon seeing Fu Rong, Zhuge Qing stopped and greeted her.

"Hi, we meet again."

"It's you." Fu Rong nodded, which was her way of greeting her.

"I have other things to do, you can do as you please."

After Fu Rong finished speaking, she prepared to leave.

Seeing this, Zhuge Qing raised his hand and said, "Hey, where are you going? To help Ma Xianhong?"

"What's it to you?"

Fu Rong gave a light snort and then disappeared in a flash.

"Eh..."

Zhuge Qing watched Fu Rong's departing figure and silently lowered his raised hand.

For some reason, he always felt like he had lost something very important...

"Never mind, let's go to the stove instead."

Zhuge Qing shook his head and was just about to go over when a familiar voice came from the air—

"What are you going to do at the body-cultivation furnace?"

Zhuge Qing turned around upon hearing the sound and saw Su Mu falling from the sky.

"Old Su?"

Zhuge Qing slightly opened his eyes.

"I thought you'd go to bed alone tonight, or find somewhere to drink."

"Yes, that's something I would do."

Su Mu smiled slightly.

"However, this matter is of great importance today, so I've decided it's better if I keep an eye on it myself."

"So, what are you planning to do at the Body Cultivation Furnace?"

"This...?"

Zhuge Qing scratched his head.

"Actually, it's all to protect the body-refining furnace."

"Why do you want to protect the Body-Cultivating Furnace?" Su Mu asked, puzzled.

"Isn't it all for the sake of using the body-repairing furnace?"

"As you know, my Dao heart was shattered by the Feng Hou Qi Men and the Shen Ji Bai Lian."

"I can't practice the Divine Hundred Refinements that Ma Xianhong gave me. Let alone whether practicing it would cause trouble for people in the company or other people."

"Even if no one bothers me, if I abandon the techniques of our Zhuge Wuhou School and switch to practicing the Divine Strategies Hundred Refinements, my Dao Heart will not just be shattered, but completely gone."

Zhuge Qing shrugged.

"So now I have no choice but to pin my hopes on the Body Refining Furnace."

"The Body Refinement Furnace can enhance my abilities."

"Perhaps, I can use the Body Cultivation Furnace to break through my limits and see if I can comprehend the ultimate secret of my Zhuge Liang School—the Samadhi True Fire!"

"So that's how it is."

Su Mu nodded.

In the original novel, Zhuge Qing broke through his limitations and comprehended the Samadhi True Fire thanks to Fu Rong's guidance.

But now, he's inadvertently led Fu Rong away, so Zhuge Qing has gone astray...

In that case, I do bear some responsibility for bringing Zhuge Qing back on track.

Thinking of this, Su Mu smiled disdainfully.

"Zhuge Qing, I always thought you were a capable and arrogant person."

"But now it seems I overestimated you."

"Varied……"

Zhuge Qing frowned, wondering if he had misheard.

This wasn't the first time he had dealt with Su Mu.

This was the first time he had ever heard Su Mu say something so aggressive.

Didn't you understand?

I said—

"You're a piece of trash!"
