Dongfang Mo's eyes were like torches, carefully examining the scene in front of him. His handsome face was full of deep thoughts, as if every inch of air and every ray of light and shadow could not escape his keen insight. As the night deepened, the moonlight slanted on his shoulders, adding a bit of mystery and coldness to him.

"What... do you want to do?" Mu Shaowen's voice trembled slightly, and beads of sweat oozed out of his forehead. He was frightened by Dongfang Mo's eyes that seemed to see through everything. His eyes were full of anxiety and doubt, as if an invisible giant hand was strangling his throat, and it became difficult to breathe.

"Since I'm a bandit, if I don't rob one of the richest businessmen on this continent, wouldn't that ruin my reputation?" Dongfang Mo's mouth curled up with a playful smile, speaking frankly, with a bit of teasing and unruly in his tone. His eyes flashed with a cunning light, as if everything was under control.

Mu Shaowen remained silent, muttering to himself that he had fallen into a trap. He secretly regretted why he had so easily trusted this seemingly unruly bandit. In the night, his face was uncertain, and his inner anxiety surged like a tide.

When they walked out of the Xuanyao Palace, the night was already as dark as ink. The powerful hidden warriors around were ready to move, like beasts lurking in the darkness, waiting for the best opportunity to attack. However, Lu Xuanxin and his companions were not afraid at all. They rode on Mu Shaowen's gorgeously decorated ship, braved the wind and waves, and quickly left the dangerous forest. The sails were bulging, the sea breeze was whistling, and they sailed towards the unknown distance.

The powerful men who were watching them left peacefully, looking at each other in surprise, speechless. Their eyes were full of reluctance and doubt, as if they could not accept such a fact.

"Did they really take Lu Xuanxin away?" A strong man murmured to himself in disbelief.

"Go back and report to the family!" another strong man urged hurriedly, his eyes flashing with anxiety and uneasiness.

"They are heading towards the South China Sea!" a sharp-eyed strong man shouted, pointing into the distance.

"Chase after him!" Everyone responded and gave up the protection of Xuan Yao Palace, believing that as long as Yun Xiao appeared, there would be gains. Like sharks smelling blood, they chased in the direction of the South China Sea.

The cabin was comfortable and cozy, much better than the flying beast. Soft cushions, exquisite furnishings, warm lights, everything seemed so luxurious and comfortable. There was a room to rest, and no longer had to worry about wind and rain. Feng Ling's eyes were as clear as autumn water. She looked around curiously, and her tone was full of sincerity: "Brother, can you give this boat to my sister? She has never been on such a luxurious boat."

Lu Xuan was a little embarrassed. It was not that he was reluctant to give up the boat, but he was more accustomed to using a nine-star peak flying beast, which was faster and more in line with his status and temperament. Moreover, this boat consumed a lot of spirit stones, especially this high-level one, which required medium-grade spirit stones to drive. He coughed lightly, looking a little embarrassed: "This boat is indeed luxurious, but I am more accustomed to using my flying beast."

"Sisters are so close, why not?" Mu Shaowen was straightforward, wanting to take this opportunity to get closer to the Lu family. He smiled generously, as if he didn't care about the value of the ship at all, "If you really want to give it to me, then give me some mid-grade spirit stones as compensation."

"Okay!" Mu Shaowen was overjoyed and directly gave Lu Xuanxin a space ring filled with 100,000 medium-grade spirit stones. He said generously: "Use it first, and come to me again if it's not enough." In his opinion, 100,000 spirit stones are enough for ordinary people to practice for half a year, but for Lu Xuanxin, they might be used up in two or three days.

Lu Xuanxin did not reveal his specialness, fearing that he would cause unnecessary trouble. The spiritual energy he needed was far beyond that of ordinary people, and his cultivation level was also improving very quickly, which had aroused the suspicion of many people. He took the space ring and secretly thought about how to use these spiritual stones reasonably.

Thinking about the wealth of the Mu family, a young man could easily throw out 100,000 middle-grade spirit stones, how rich must the head and ancestors of the Mu family be? Thinking of this, Lu Xuanxin's resistance to recognizing his relatives was slightly reduced. He began to think that perhaps establishing a closer relationship with the Mu family would not be a bad thing for him.

As they approached the South China Sea, the number of flying beasts and ships on the sea surface gradually increased. Some attacked each other to reduce the number of competitors, while others moved forward on their own. Everyone was cautious, fearing that they would attract the attention of powerful enemies. The sea breeze blew in with a salty and humid smell. Everyone stood by the boat and looked at the horizon, feeling excited.

"Is this the South China Sea?" Yun Yan'er murmured to herself as she looked at the boundless sea, her eyes flickering with curiosity and longing. "It doesn't look any different from the East China Sea."

Lu Xuanxin replied with a smile: "The sea is so vast and boundless." His voice was gentle and firm, as if it could bring people endless sense of security.

Feng Ling and Feng Chen, brother and sister, looked at the vast sea and couldn't help but sigh: "The sea is so big!" They have lived in a secret place since they were young and rarely have the opportunity to see the outside world. They are naturally excited to come out this time. Their eyes are full of desire and curiosity for the unknown world.

Lu Xuanxin turned to Yun Xiao and asked, "Father, where are we going next? Are we going directly to the depths of the South China Sea?" There was some anticipation and eagerness in his tone.

Yun Xiao looked around and found that many tents had been set up on the beach. It was obvious that someone was waiting for something. Some pioneers had already gone out to sea on flying beasts or boats to search for treasure. His eyes flashed with deep thought and determination: "Let's settle down in a nearby city first, inquire about the news and then make a decision."

"Sister, I'm hungry. Let's find something to eat before we set out, okay?" Feng Ling was worried that they would be going out to sea soon, so she pulled Lu Xuanxin's arm and said coquettishly. Her eyes were full of anticipation and innocence.

Lu Xuanxin thought it made sense. After all, they had been flying for several days, and it was hard to predict when they would return from the sea. It would be better to take a rest first. He nodded in agreement: "Okay, let's land."

Mu Shaowen controlled the boat and slowly landed on the seashore, attracting only a few people's attention. There were too many people coming these days, and everyone was busy protecting themselves and had no time to pay attention to others. They got off the boat and set foot on this land full of unknowns and opportunities.

A small market has formed by the sea, selling all kinds of spiritual medicines, elixirs, spiritual weapons and broken swords. However, there are no restaurants or food stalls for people to eat. Lu Xuanxin and his group walked around and attracted a lot of attention. After all, their looks were quite outstanding. Several young men wanted to come up and chat with them, but they were stopped by the strong men in the family.

Unable to find suitable food, they had to take a boat to a nearby city again. Linhai City was crowded with people, who had obviously rushed here after hearing the news. The restaurant was full, and with other people coming to hunt for treasure, it was almost impossible to find an empty table.

"It seems that food and lodging are a big problem. If you don't mind, we can go to Tianyu Commercial Bank and I'll have someone prepare some food." Mu Shaowen looked at the crowded street and suggested to Lu Xuanxin. His eyes were full of sincerity and expectation.

"There is also a Tianyu Trading Company here?" Lu Xuan was a little surprised, but then he thought, even the small countries in the East Region have branches of Tianyu Trading Company, so how could this be a coastal city in the Central Region? He nodded in agreement: "In that case, please arrange it."

Mu Shaowen happily led everyone through the busy streets and came to a towering building. The inscriptions on the door of the building were very eye-catching. When they walked in, they saw that the inside was crowded with guests and very lively. It was obviously Tianyu Trading Company. They were warmly welcomed in and enjoyed the sumptuous food prepared by Tianyu Trading Company. At this moment, they seemed to have temporarily forgotten the unknown and challenges they were about to face, and immersed themselves in this moment of peace and beauty.

"Has Young Master Shao Wen arrived? Good, Young Master Shao Hui and the others are also in the back garden. I'll send someone to take you there right away." A servant in dark blue clothes hurried over with a respectful smile on his face and a bit of eagerness in his eyes.

Hearing this, Mu Shaowen raised a playful smile and glanced at Lu Xuanxin beside him, his eyes flickering with a complex light. It was a mixture of curiosity, exploration, and a hint of imperceptible tenderness, as if he wanted to see through Lu Xuanxin's appearance and explore the secrets deep in her heart.

Soon, the servant led everyone through the winding corridor and came to the back garden. This garden is really a different world, like a small mansion, with small courtyards scattered and beautiful scenery. Various flowers compete for beauty, and the green lawn is dotted with colorful butterflies. The breeze brings bursts of floral fragrance, which is refreshing.

After the servant brought the person in, he bowed respectfully and said, "I still have some chores to take care of, so I'll take my leave now." After saying that, he nodded, turned around and left, with brisk and orderly steps.

The back garden of Tianyu Commercial Bank is where the owner rests, and ordinary people are not allowed to enter. Everything here seems so peaceful and harmonious, as if it is a fairyland isolated from the world.

Not long after, a gate opened gently, and a girl in pink clothes poked her head out. When she saw Mu Shaowen, she ran out happily with an innocent smile on her face.

"Third brother, you are finally here!" The girl's name is Mu Ruoying, and she is Mu Shaowen's sister. She ran to Mu Shaowen, held his hand affectionately, with joy shining in her eyes.

"Ying'er, you are here too?" Mu Shaowen touched her head with a smile, his eyes full of doting.

"Of course I came with my father and brother. Brother Dongfang, Sister Bai, you are here too! Hey, who are these people?" After greeting Dongfang Mo and the others, Mu Ruoying looked at Lu Xuanxin and the others curiously and exclaimed, "Wow! These sisters are so beautiful, just like fairies! Third brother, how did you find them?"

As soon as Mu Ruoying finished speaking, a majestic voice was heard from the room, and then a middle-aged man strode out. He was tall, with a dignified face, and his eyes revealed an unquestionable domineering aura.

A group of men, women, young and old followed behind them. They looked at Lu Xuanxin and his group with curiosity or scrutiny.

"Who are you?" Mu Juncheng's face immediately darkened when he saw Yun Xiao. He flashed in front of Yun Xiao, grabbed his collar, and his tone was full of questioning and anger.

"How dare you come to Tianyu Trading Company? Where is my sister? Where did you hide her?" Mu Juncheng's voice was low and powerful, and every word seemed to carry a thousand pounds of force, making it hard to breathe.

"Third brother..." Yun Xiao, the man who used to be as aloof as a saint, could only call out softly in front of Mu Juncheng, his voice full of helplessness and bitterness.

"Don't call me Third Brother, I can't stand it! Where is my sister? Give her back to me!" Although Mu Juncheng still maintained some rationality and did not get furious, anger was already written all over his face. His eyes were full of anxiety and anger, like an enraged lion.

Seeing her father in such an awkward situation, Lu Xuanxin secretly wondered: Is this the elder brother-in-law who came to seek revenge? She felt a little uneasy, after all, this was her mother's family, and she didn't want to cause a conflict between her father and mother's family because of her own affairs.

"Uncle San, please don't be anxious." Mu Shaowen quickly looked at Lu Xuanxin, then quickly stepped forward to stop Mu Juncheng. His tone was pleading and comforting, "Things are not what you think. Let's sit down and talk slowly."

"How can I not be anxious? Shao Wen, how did you get involved with these people? Have you forgotten the disaster twenty years ago?" Mu Juncheng recalled the past and was furious, but he still tried to restrain himself, his voice trembling and sad.
