Du Yao, hearing Xiao Mu's cough, suddenly looked up in surprise, hurriedly stood up from the ground, and stared at Xiao Mu, nervously saying, "Xiao...Xiao Grand Elder, hello!"

"Not good!"

Xiao Mu, with a stern face, dissatisfied, said, "What did I teach you before? Speak calmly, don't panic. Hmm, what did the ticket seller do to you?"

"Nothing...nothing!" Du Yao quickly lowered her head. She was very timid, and seeing Xiao Mu come, she didn't want to entangle with the ticket seller anymore.

Xiao Mu, extremely dissatisfied, glanced at the lowered head of Du Yao and looked towards the ticket office.

Others were also in line, and a mid Yin God Realm man also handed the ticket seller a voucher worth one hundred high-level energy fruits. The ticket seller gave him a ticket and returned a red voucher worth fifty energy fruits.

"Didn't they shortchange you fifty energy fruits?"

Xiao Mu turned his head.

"No...no!"

Du Yao, timidly lowered her head, not daring to cause trouble.

"What did I teach you before? When talking to people, raise your head, look at them. Raise your head, look into my eyes."

Xiao Mu, feeling dissatisfied.

"Yes, yes!"

Du Yao, afraid, raised her head and glanced at Xiao Mu, then quickly looked away, her eyes dodging.

"Stop! Look at me when you speak!" Xiao Mu stopped Du Yao.

"Yes, yes!"

Du Yao humbly agreed, mustering up the courage to look at Xiao Mu, but her gaze went past him, focused behind his head.

"The ticket seller should have given you back fifty energy fruits, right? A ticket costs fifty energy fruits, you gave the ticket seller a hundred, and she didn't give you change, is that right?"

Xiao Mu's tone involuntarily softened.

"It was... a mistake." Du Yao stammered, fearful of entangling in such matters, "It...it doesn't matter, I'm... I'm fine."

"A mistake is a mistake, if they shortchanged you fifty energy fruits, they should give them to you."

Xiao Mu sternly, but gently insisted, "You are my exclusive angel. You do not bully others, but you should not let others bully you, or I'll lose face as the Grand Elder."

"Go, and ask the ticket seller for your fifty energy fruits back."

"No...that's not necessary, it's... it's been so long, it's... it's difficult to clarify now." Du Yao, flustered, spoke with a lack of confidence, not wanting to argue with the ticket seller anymore.

"What's yours is yours, how can you not want it? If you endure being bullied, others will only say you're easy-going? Go, get them back!"

Xiao Mu, with a determined expression, though his tone was mild, he left Du Yao no room to retreat, "Go over there, look the ticket seller in the eye, and speak to her in a calm tone. Tell her she made a mistake earlier; you gave her a voucher worth a hundred energy fruits, bought a ticket, and she should return fifty."

"If she doesn't admit it, ask her to count the total vouchers received and compare it to the number of tickets sold. If she still disagrees, tell her you will go and complain to the person in charge."

"Forget it, it's too troublesome!" Du Yao felt uneasy, resisting dealing with such complex interpersonal relationships.

"It's not troublesome, hurry!"

Xiao Mu urged.

Du Yao, pressed by Xiao Mu's urging, lowered her head again, "I'm...I'm afraid!"

"Don't be afraid, I'm here, who dares to bully you? Go!"

Xiao Mu's tone was gentle, but his expression was firm, leaving no room for compromise.

"This..." Du Yao hesitated, wanting to go but afraid, looking at the ticket window and ticket seller, she still felt scared.

"Quickly go, as I told you earlier, stay calm and go ask for the fifty energy fruits that belong to you."

Xiao Mu urged again, his tone became stern.

Du Yao, startled, dared not disobey Xiao Mu anymore, and walked towards the window.

She was still timid and lacking in confidence, but under Xiao Mu's watch, she dared not retreat, and approached the window, summoning her courage to say the words Xiao Mu taught her.

The ticket seller, taken aback, indeed initially didn't admit the mistake as expected, but when Du Yao mentioned complaining, she finally relented, handing Du Yao a voucher worth fifty energy fruits.

Du Yao, holding the voucher, timidly returned to Xiao Mu's side.

Xiao Mu, smiling, praised, "Isn't this handled well? In the future, handle similar situations as I've taught you. Go, complain to the person in charge about that ticket seller."

"Still... still need to complain?" Du Yao, hurriedly raised her head to look at Xiao Mu, her heart fluttering in panic.

Xiao Mu, naturally replied, "Of course! She made a mistake, if you don't complain, how will she know to correct it? However, while complaining, you must also explain to the person in charge truthfully that it's not about punishing her, as long as she realizes her mistake, that's enough."

"Everyone makes mistakes, but the most fearful thing is when someone makes a mistake, harms you, and when you point it out for correction, instead of reflecting, they resent you."

"If you don't complain, don't clarify, this ticket seller will hundred percent think that way and believe you are being unreasonable, thinking she is not at fault."

"Go, go complain to the person in charge, just explain that you don't wish to pursue it, but things need to be clarified."

"This...this..." Du Yao's mind was a bit chaotic, unable to sort out Xiao Mu's logic for a moment.

"Do you need me to accompany you?" Xiao Mu, slightly displeased.

"No, no need!" Du Yao panicked.

"Go ahead! I'm here watching you, confidently tell the person in charge what you need to say, no one dares to do anything to you." Xiao Mu, his tone became gentle and patient again.

"This...alright."

Du Yao finally mustered up her courage again and walked towards the office of the person in charge.

Xiao Mu stayed outside waiting.

After a while, another ticket seller came to replace the original one at the ticket window, and the previous ticket seller was called to the office of the person in charge.

After a few minutes of speaking, Du Yao came out of the office, followed by the ticket seller and a man in the Divine Spirits Realm, continuously apologizing to Du Yao.

Du Yao, still nervous and flustered, politely replied before returning.

Back by Xiao Mu's side, she instinctively lowered her head, but quickly remembered something, raised her head, and looked at Xiao Mu with a timid gaze, focusing again behind his head.

"Finished the complaint?" Xiao Mu asked with a smile.

"Yes!" Du Yao nodded lightly.

"Did you tell the person in charge that you forgive that ticket seller and do not intend to pursue the matter?"

"I... I did."

"Isn't this simple? Next time you encounter similar situations, handle them this way." Xiao Mu laughed. Amidst his laughter, he looked at Du Yao carefully again and couldn't help but be startled, "Why is there Death Qi on you again? Haven't you found the source?"

"No...no..." Du Yao's tone was very uneasy.

Xiao Mu didn't pursue further, casually used the authority of the Netherworld to cleanse the Hell's Death Qi from Du Yao.

Then, he instructed Du Yao to focus on cultivation, best to break into the Divine Spirits Realm soon.

As the exclusive angel of the Grand Elder, Headquarters will specially allocate some resources for Du Yao's cultivation, so her advancement into the Divine Spirits Realm should be significantly easier than average people.

Xiao Mu also promised that once Du Yao steps into the Divine Spirits Realm, he will gift her a divine authority to help her enhance her ability to Concealing Heaven's Secrets.

Afterwards, without further ado, Xiao Mu left directly, riding the clouds towards Tai Mie Mountain.

Du Yao watched Xiao Mu's figure leave, suddenly blushed, and touched her cheek, feeling the place where her palm touched was a bit warm.

She uneasily glanced around, then foolishly smiled before walking to the entrance of the Soul Cultivation Pavilion.

Xiao Mu, upon returning to Tai Mie Mountain, immediately summoned the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor, using the Great Decree to dive underground, and began to cultivate.

He needed to use the power of the Eternal Lamp to quickly condense the Domain Suppression Platform and break into the mid-level True God Realm.

Emperor Taija posed a great threat to him, forcing him to make continuous breakthroughs. Otherwise, as the enemies from the Heavenly Court grew stronger, he would eventually withstand no longer.

He extracted Heaven Building Soil and Immortal Condensing Water, then released the True God Realm.
