I cultivate immortality through The Sims.

With the opening of the secret realm approaching, Wan Zi and Yang Mu did not linger at the Wan Hua Sect.

Just as simulated, Wan Zi only brought twenty Foundation Establishment cultivators with her.

Saintess Duan Mengyan Wanzi was not brought along.

Wan Zi could see that Yang Mu liked Duan Mengyan, so every time Yang Mu returned to the Wan Hua Sect, Wan Zi would ask Duan Mengyan to accompany him.

The journey to the Nascent Soul Realm is fraught with peril.

Wan Zi was originally meant to protect Yang Mu, and if Duan Mengyan went as well, she was worried that something might go wrong with Duan Mengyan.

If Duan Mengyan affects her relationship with Yang Mu, then there's no need for it.

Although she already possessed a Nascent Soul magic weapon at this time.

However, it's better to avoid trouble.

Yang Mu still managed to take some time to return to Wuyue Fort.

Just out of curiosity!

I wonder if, after more than a year of training, Tan Yanrao will still choose to leave.

After returning to Wuyue Fortress, Yang Mu's anxiety finally died.

At this moment, Yang Mu's courtyard was empty.

Looking at the empty courtyard, Yang Mu gave a self-deprecating laugh:

"Ha, it's just like the script in the end."

Immediately, Yang Mu stopped caring about Tan Yanrao's matter and went straight to catch up with Wan Zi's group.

Just like in the simulation, when the four sects of the Myriad Flowers Sect arrived at the secret realm, there were only two days left before the secret realm opened.

To Yang Mu's surprise, Zhao Ziyan arrived with Wei Ding and Tan Yanrao not far from the secret realm just as the four sects of the Myriad Flowers Sect were about to reach it.

This is different from simulation.

Seeing that there were many people around, Zhao Ziyan gestured for Yang Mu to speak privately.

Yang Mu was relatively polite to Zhao Ziyan, but when he looked at Wei Ding and Tan Yanrao, his expression was full of coldness.

It's as if I'm watching a pair of adulterers!

After dismissing everyone and setting up a soundproof array, Yang Mu took Wan Zi with him as a precaution.

"Sir, what is it?" Yang Mu only offered the most basic courtesy.

"Fellow Daoist, this matter... alas, this matter is something my Wuyue Fortress has wronged you with!" Zhao Ziyan found it difficult to speak for a moment.

But then, Zhao Ziyan gritted her teeth and said, "When leaving Wuyue Fort, Wei Ding saw that Fellow Daoist Tan was exceptionally beautiful, so he kidnapped her."

At this point, Zhao Ziyan immediately stated firmly, "I, Zhao Ziyan, guarantee with my integrity that Wei Ding has not done anything inappropriate towards Fellow Daoist Tan!"

Yang Mu was immediately taken aback: This is really different from the script!

In the world of cultivation, is personality still valued?

However, Yang Mu immediately flew into a rage.

Damn, it seems Wei Ding got lustful at first sight.

Upon hearing this, Wan Zi immediately prepared to attack Wei Ding.

But Yang Mu stopped him.

Yang Mu immediately turned his head and looked at Tan Yanrao with a cold expression, only to see that Tan Yanrao was already crying with tears streaming down her face, but she did not say a word.

Tan Yanrao knew that no matter what she said at this moment, Yang Mu would not believe her!

Although Tan Yanrao didn't know what had happened that caused Yang Mu's personality to suddenly change so drastically more than a year ago.

I'm starting to like that vibe.

Although she gradually came to like that style later on.

But Tan Yanrao understood that Yang Mu had an extremely strong desire for control.

He simply cannot accept that his woman has been with other men.

Yang Mu ignored Tan Yanrao's extremely aggrieved and desperately trusting gaze, but instead turned to look at Wei Ding, who still had a face full of resentment.

Then, Yang Mu withdrew his gaze and looked at Zhao Ziyan: "So, what you mean, fellow Daoist..."

Hearing the change in how Yang Mu addressed her and hearing what Yang Mu said, Zhao Ziyan knew that Yang Mu was truly angry.

Although Zhao Ziyan's status in Fuqin City meant she had no need to be subservient to a cultivator in the mid-stage of Qi Refining.

At this moment, Yang Mu was only at the mid-stage of Qi Refining, but standing next to him was a late-stage Golden Core cultivator.

Moreover, this cultivator at the mid-stage of Qi Refining even defeated a cultivator at the peak of Qi Refining, a level above him.

Based on these two points alone, Zhao Ziyan concluded that Yang Mu was no ordinary person.

Although, from Zhao Ziyan's perspective, the late stage of the Golden Core realm is nothing special.

But Zhao Ziyan was taught from a young age that having more friends means having more options, while having more enemies means having more obstacles.

Even though Yang Mu may seem like nothing more than a pheasant at this moment, who can say for sure that this pheasant might rise to prominence and become a phoenix?

That's why Zhao Ziyan condescended to come.

After a moment's thought, Zhao Ziyan spoke with a grim expression, "Fellow Daoist, this is my fault."

Before he could finish speaking, Zhao Ding immediately exploded: "Young Master, sir, why are you wasting your breath talking to him? So what if I stole his woman? What can he do to me?"

At this point, Wan Zi immediately lost her temper and was about to make a move.

Yang Mu stopped Wan Zi in time, without saying anything, and just quietly looked at Zhao Ziyan.

"Fellow Daoist Yang, I knew as soon as Wei Dinggang kidnapped Fellow Daoist Tan. He didn't have a single moment to do anything inappropriate to Fellow Daoist Tan."

"Originally, I planned to send Fellow Daoist Tan back to Wuyue Fort, but I feel that this matter should ultimately be clarified in person to clear up the misunderstanding!"

"Ha!" Yang Mu sneered, "A misunderstanding?"

"No!" Zhao Ziyan immediately exclaimed, "That's not what you mean, fellow Daoist!"

At this point, Zhao Ziyan immediately laid her cards on the table: "Wei Ding was a crucial asset on our journey to the Nascent Soul Realm, so I cannot hand him over to you before the realm ends!"

"Apart from that, I can grant any request you may have, fellow Daoist."

If I hand you over to me, would you agree to this request?

Yang Mu thought to himself.

But since the script included this plot point, Yang Mu wasn't in a hurry at all!

"Fellow Daoist is too kind!" Yang Mu immediately put on a friendly smile:

"Fellow Daoist's willingness to condescend to come and explain is already a great honor for me, how could I not believe you!"

"As for your request, please do not mention it again, fellow Daoist."

"This is just a misunderstanding!"

This huge change completely bewildered Zhao Ziyan.

"You..." Zhao Ziyan was momentarily at a loss for words.

Wei Ding's face immediately revealed a strong look of mockery.

Even Wan Zi looked at Yang Mu with some confusion.

Yang Mu ignored Zhao Ziyan's surprise and simply waved to Tan Yanrao.

Tan Yanrao walked towards Yang Mu with tears streaming down her face.

Yang Mu immediately asked with concern, "Are you alright? Did he hurt you?"

Tan Yanrao immediately shook her head vigorously.

A smile immediately appeared on Yang Mu's face as he wiped away Tan Yanrao's tears before turning to Zhao Ziyan and saying:

"Fellow Daoist, I may not trust you, but I will not distrust my woman."

Yang Mu immediately concluded, "This is just a misunderstanding!"

Zhao Ziyan took a deep breath, her gaze lingering on Yang Mu's kind smile for a moment, but in the end she said nothing and simply nodded.

"Xiao Zi, see the guest out!" Yang Mu said kindly as always.

Immediately, Wan Zi stepped forward, acting like a servant, and gestured for Zhao Ziyan and Wei Ding to leave.

Wei Ding's gaze lingered brazenly between Tan Yanrao and Wan Zi.

Watching Wan Zi and the others disappear, Yang Mu smiled and pulled Tan Yanrao into his arms, looking at her tenderly as he said:

"Now, tell me, did he do anything to you?"

"I will definitely avenge you!"

A look of terror immediately appeared in Tan Yanrao's eyes.

She shook her head frantically, "Really, no!"

"The man who kidnapped me to Wuyue Fort hadn't been with the troop for a quarter of an hour when Master Zhao came and rescued me."

Yang Mu raised his head, his gaze fixed on the direction Zhao Ziyan and the other person had left, and murmured:

"Fifteen minutes?"

"Perhaps that's enough!"

Tan Yanrao wanted to explain, but Yang Mu interrupted her: "Do you know what? I'm really angry right now!"
