"I don't care who you, Xiao, or whoever Fei are. Before entering the Mu Residence, you need to report. That's the rule. Besides, looking at your attire, do you think this is a place you should be?"

In the rush of leaving in the morning, Xiao Yifei had just grabbed yesterday's clothes and came out. Even though he had washed his face, just judging by his attire, he didn't quite look like a gentleman.

"I say, you this servant, how can you be so unaware of good and evil? After all, you are also someone from the Mu Residence; don't look down on others with dog eyes!"

Xiao Yifei was already in an average mood and, being repeatedly obstructed by this servant, a burst of anger swelled up.

"What's the matter? Won't you get out? If not, I'll beat you out."

With that said, the servant lunged at Xiao Yifei, trying to grab his collar.

After all, Xiao Yifei had been a cultivator, and his body had been transformed by Qilin Blood. How could an ordinary person be a match for him?

With a sliding step, Xiao Yifei sidestepped and lifted a foot, kicking the servant on the buttocks, sending him sprawling into a face full of dirt.

"You! Even to beat a dog, you need to consider the owner's face. Boy, you're slapping my master's face now."

"Uh, but I kicked your butt, didn't I?" Xiao Yifei was dumbfounded.

"What's all this commotion?" Hearing some noise in the hall, the master of the Mu Residence came over to scold.

"Master, this boy is a thief. He came in to steal things, and I caught him." The servant got up from the ground and said respectfully.

"Ha, this boy is trying to beat the gentleman at his own game," Xiao Yifei thought.

"What's going on?" The master of the Mu Residence frowned slightly and asked.

The servant felt a bit smug inside. To have mingled to the current position in the Mu Residence, there was some backing and means behind, big or small. Seeing his old master arrive, he immediately changed his tone.

With grievance, he said, "Old Master, today I'm on duty, and this lunatic wanted to storm into the house. Of course, I couldn't let him succeed, so I stopped him. But he has some minor fighting skill. I couldn't beat him and ended up like this. Old Master, you must stand up for me."

Xiao Yifei shrugged. Such a person could turn black into white, but unfortunately, their ingenuity was used in the wrong place. If it weren't for his urgent matter to find Muyun, he wouldn't have rushed in so recklessly. If Muyun came back early, it'd be fine, but if not, he'd probably be caught as a troublemaker.

"No matter what you're here for, since you hurt someone from our Mu Residence, the Mu Residence no longer welcomes you. Go back where you came from." The master of the Mu Residence waved his hand. In this tumultuous time, he didn't want to get distracted by this kind of matter and casually dismissed him.

"Senior, I'm not here to cause trouble at the Mu Residence. I just urgently need to find Muyun and may have lost some courtesy; I hope the Mu Residence can be lenient." Xiao Yifei bowed and said, right now just wanting to see Muyun quickly, not caring about the rest.

"Oh? You want to see Yun'er? What's your relationship with him?" The master of the Mu Residence said with some surprise, because now Muyun had many significant identities and was about to become someone even more important, so even the master couldn't afford to offend him.

"Old Master, don't listen to his nonsense. How can the well-known Master Muyun associate with someone who, at a glance, looks like a scruffy beggar?" The servant said with hostility upon hearing Lin Mu and Xiao Yifei's conversation.

"Shut up! There's no need for you to handle things here, go do what you're supposed to do!" The master of the Mu Residence glared at the servant, scolding.

"Yes." Although the servant was reluctant, he slunk away, intimidated by the master's authority.

"Phew, that annoying guy's finally gone. By the looks of it, you don't seem like a muddle-headed and incompetent family head; why let someone like that stay at the Mu Residence?" Xiao Yifei asked with interest.

"Ah, being the family head isn't easy. There are all sorts of forces supporting them behind the scenes. With the current complex situation, if I move them, our Mu Residence might end up in big trouble. I can only stabilize them first before making any plans." The old master sighed.

"Enough about us. Although your attire looks destitute, these old eyes can't be wrong; you must be someone exceptional, which is why I'm not driving you away. So tell me honestly, why are you looking for Muyun?"

Upon hearing the old master's words, Xiao Yifei secretly marvelled at the observational skill, something not everyone would possess. Just by my eyes, he could gauge my identity. Indeed, he's worthy of being the family head of Mu Residence.

"I'm a friend of Master Muyun, and I came to ask him something urgent. I wonder if you could grant me this favor?" Xiao Yifei, recognizing the capabilities of the elder before him, spoke more humbly.

"Oh, since you're a friend of Yun'er, I certainly wouldn't stop you. He practices by the Liu Mist Pavilion next to the rockery in the back gardens of the residence every morning. But before you go to him, would you kindly tell me your name?"

"Junior, Xiao Yifei."

"Hahaha, what a fine Xiao Yifei, indeed!" The old master suddenly laughed, "Yun'er has such a friend, and he'll indeed achieve great things." With that, he waved his sleeve and left.

"What a peculiar old man. But from his words, it seems Muyun is going to make a big move. As his friend, if I can help, I'll certainly go all out."

The garden of the Mu Residence was large, much like the architecture of the Suzhou Garden. According to the master's words, Muyun should be practicing behind the mountain now. Xiao Yifei dashed there and indeed saw Muyun, dressed in a white robe, drinking tea in the pavilion.

Xiao Yifei smirked. Such a long time without seeing him, Muyun still makes a grand entrance as always.

"Muyun, long time no see." Xiao Yifei walked over to the opposite of Muyun and casually picked up the teapot on Muyun's table to pour himself a cup.

Muyun wasn't surprised; instead, he smilingly looked at Xiao Yifei and said, "Long time no see."

"Hey, why is it that after not seeing you for a while, you've become so effeminate? Even your voice is soft and thin." Xiao Yifei rolled his eyes and said.

"You, on the other hand, have become more carefree." Muyun said with ease.

"Yeah, after experiencing some things, I feel I've seen through a lot. I'm no longer as nitpicky as before." Xiao Yifei downed the tea in his cup in one gulp, "Oh, Xishan Mist Tea, good tea, you sure know how to enjoy yourself."

"You didn't come to find me just to drink my tea, did you?" Muyun said with a half-smile.

"Of course not. Nothing escapes your eyes. This time I came to ask about the Hua Family; how could a decent family just fall into decline? And where has Hua Xianxi gone?" Xiao Yifei said and began to get agitated.

"Sigh. Family matters aren't as simple as we think. Did you see the master when you came here?" Muyun asked.

"You mean the family head of the Mu Residence, that old man isn't simple. Hey, how did you know I met him?" Xiao Yifei asked.

"It's a big Mu Residence, only he would tell you I'm here. Everyone else would certainly drive you out." Muyun chuckled, shaking his head, "Why have you become so down-and-out?"

"Don't ask me, hurry and tell me about the Hua Family."

Seeing Xiao Yifei's eager look, Muyun said slowly, "Internal strife and external threats, the thieves have absconded hastily."
