"Going to school?"

Mu Jinyu heard Guo Songlin's words, shook his head slightly and said, "After being adopted by my master, I've been living in the mountains. I only came down last year and never went to school."

Indeed, he never went to school as a child. He rather envied the kids who did attend school and understood some of his own shortcomings. That's why he got so angry when Xia Ruochen also sent those elementary students with Fire Spirit Root up for alchemy lessons.

"Never went to school? Living in the mountains? Seems like you had quite a good life."

Guo Songlin, hearing Mu Jinyu's answer, couldn't help but show a hint of disdain in his eyes before laughing.

"Yeah, it's okay," Mu Jinyu nodded.

"So do you have a job? What do you do?" Guo Songlin asked again.

Mu Jinyu shook his head and said, "I've never had a job. I opened a company last year, but it closed down. Then, I had some business to attend to abroad for a year. I just came back recently and am resting at home."

"Oh." Guo Songlin nodded upon hearing that, then asked curiously, "Hey, you haven't really worked. What do you eat? Your clothes seem nice too, where do you get the money?"

Mu Jinyu explained, "The company I opened last year, although it closed down later, it wasn't because of bankruptcy. It still made some money, enough for me to live on. As for what I eat, my mom and my wives cook for me. What's strange about that?"

"Oh, that's how it is..."

When Guo Songlin heard Mu Jinyu's explanation, he thought to himself, what kind of company closes and still makes enough money for him to live on? Probably lost a ton of money but just doesn't want to lose face by saying so.

As for lazing around without a job and still having money to live on, probably his mom's family has some assets, right?

Damn, this lucky guy, and he can even find relatives like that.

Meanwhile, Yang Chao and He Jingting noticed Mu Jinyu mentioning the word "wives..."

They exclaimed, "Hey, you're not even twenty yet, right? You're married?"

They felt a real pang of envy, as they were both twenty-five and had been single since birth while Mu Jinyu seemed to be between eighteen and twenty. Without a job, and already married.

But thinking about Mu Jinyu's handsome face, they could understand.

Mu Jinyu looked at Yang Chao and them, nodded, and said, "Yeah, I'm almost nineteen. Actually, I'm not married yet, but it's pretty much the same. We're planning to have a wedding ceremony when we have time."

"Them?" Cai Zhengyan keenly noticed this point, raised an eyebrow, and asked curiously.

Actually, she had noticed just now that Mu Jinyu said, "My mom and my wives cook for me," but thought she heard wrong. Now hearing "them," she was sure she hadn't misheard.

Does Mu Jinyu have more than one girlfriend?

Mu Jinyu looked at Cai Zhengyan and nodded, "Yeah, I have six wives."

"What? Seriously?"

"You have six wives? You're two-timing six people? Do they know about each other?"

At this point, Yang Chao and He Jingting also realized that when Mu Jinyu talked about girlfriends, he used the plural, which clearly wasn't just one girlfriend, and they exclaimed in amazement.

After that, they looked at Mu Jinyu with both disapproval of a playboy and envy full of jealousy.

Mu Jinyu chuckled and said, "Of course it's true. They also know about each other, and we all live together."

"Oh my god, this is outrageous, young man, you don't follow the path of martial arts. Haven't you heard of the six rules for finding a girlfriend? You're just messing around!"

Yang Chao cried out as if utterly disappointed.

"What are the six rules?" Mu Jinyu asked curiously.

He Jingting sighed and explained, "The six rules for finding a girlfriend are as follows...

"First, find a girl who can make you laugh.

"Second, find a girl who has a stable job.

"Third, find a girl who likes to do housework.

"Fourth, find an honest girl.

"Fifth, find a girl who understands romance and passion.

"Sixth, try not to let them all meet at once…"

Yang Chao nodded and sighed, "Yeah, and you let them meet and still survive. You really are something!"

Listening to them, Mu Jinyu nodded slightly, thinking that girls who can make him laugh like Gu Xiyan might be one.

Find a girl with a stable job, Gu Xiyan, Mei Yinxue, Xu Qingya, Yu Linglong would all count, right?

Find a girl who likes housework, well, Wen Rou and Lin Qiaoxia both do.

Find an honest girl, that's also Wen Rou and Lin Qiaoxia.

Find a girl who understands passion and romance going wild, that must be Mei Yinxue.

The only thing he failed to do was let them meet and know about each other's existence...

However, now they are all living together, and nothing seems to be wrong. Looks like he did even better.

"Bravo, bravo..."

Cai Zhengyan was stunned upon hearing Mu Jinyu admit he has six girlfriends, and then listening to his conversation with Yang Chao and the others, she was left even more bewildered.

After coming to her senses, she gave Mu Jinyu a thumbs up and praised, "Impressive, Little Mu, managing six relationships without sinking. You're truly remarkable!"

Guo Songlin watched them cease their compliments about his generous invitation and instead praise Mu Jinyu, and his face slightly soured.

He listened to their conversation and felt like Mu Jinyu was boasting.

Not educated, unemployed, and still managing not to sink with six relationships? Impossible!

But then he closely examined Mu Jinyu's handsome face and thought maybe there was a possibility. In past eras, living off charm was quite appealing.

'This guy probably lived off his looks before, humph...' Guo Songlin said sourly to himself.

Then he snorted coldly in his mind, sourly saying: 'But now the times have changed. Relying solely on looks isn't going to cut it. It's gonna be the era where martial prowess is king...'

This past year in college and at work, he witnessed quite a few people with ordinary or even ugly looks, standing only about 1.6 or 1.7 meters tall, who, before the Spiritual Energy Revival, had the same conditions where finding a girlfriend was difficult in a face-and-money-dominant era.

But just because they have some Martial Arts talent, after the Spiritual Energy Revival, even if they didn't reach the Master Energy Transformation stage, just reaching the Dark Energy level meant despite looking very unattractive, they could snatch the girlfriends of the tall, rich, and handsome, enjoying a harem. Furthermore, many pretty girls preferred sharing them for more safety in life than pairing one-on-one with a handsome but unreliable guy.

After all, could handsomeness fill one's stomach? Could handsomeness ensure survival against a ferocious beast attack? Could handsomeness protect a girl?

Thinking about it, Guo Songlin figured, what does it matter if Mu Jinyu is handsome? Even if he wasn't lying and really has six girlfriends now, without education, without a job, he's unlikely to get into martial arts cultivation. Once his girlfriends come into contact with cultivators, they'd eventually leave him.

With this thought, Guo Songlin felt much better and then coldly advised, "Living off others without shame, you're really something! But now the times are different. Without skills, no matter how handsome or rich you are, you can't protect your women in danger. The prettier your wife, the easier for her to be taken by someone else. Watch yourself."

Mu Jinyu turned his head to Guo Songlin, nodded gently, and smiled, saying, "It's okay, if I can't protect them, they can protect me."
