Fang Xiu followed Li Mu and Principal Xiang Babang out of the new Gate World.
Since they had discovered the Meat-Eating Illusion Pear Insect here, and it was unclear if it was still alive or if there were more, they had no choice but to temporarily close the Gate World.
After all, it was for the safety of all the Awakened.
They had to completely investigate the dangers here before they could decide whether to open it to students as a Trial Gate World.
"Are you sure you don’t need me to take you back? My Space Wormhole is very fast!"
Li Mu asked, looking at Fang Xiu.
"Are you trying to get into my room? The Principal said you can’t use money or beautiful women to win over Awakened!"
Fang Xiu directly threw Principal Xiang Babang’s words back at her.
"You..."
Li Mu was taken aback for a moment, then smiled. "Since you complimented me by calling me a beautiful woman, I’ll let it slide. I’m leaving!"
With that, she vanished on the spot.
Fang Xiu shook his head, a bit exasperated.
’Who wouldn’t want to hitch a ride with a beautiful woman’s convenient superpower?’
But Fang Xiu would never let Li Mu know about what was in his villa.
Besides, Fang Xiu had Kajimi.
"Master, are we going back now?"
Just then, Kajimi appeared right next to Fang Xiu, asking in a low voice.
Since she was in an Invisibility State, Fang Xiu couldn’t see her.
"Go see if that Li Mu is anywhere nearby!" Fang Xiu said to Kajimi.
"Yes!"
Kajimi responded and immediately flew off into the distance.
Her speed was incredible.
She circled the area.
Then, she saw a spatial distortion not far away, and Li Mu appeared.
Kajimi returned to Fang Xiu’s side and told him what she had just seen.
"It seems Li Mu is suspicious. Kajimi, you should go on ahead. Looks like I’ll have to take a taxi back!"
Fang Xiu felt a little helpless.
He had refused Li Mu so many times.
As the Vice Hall Master of the Awakening Hall, she was bound to have noticed something.
It was only natural for Fang Xiu to be careful.
Just as Fang Xiu expected, Li Mu had circled around and returned to her original position.
She was waiting for Fang Xiu.
She wanted to know why on earth Fang Xiu was avoiding her.
After all, Li Mu was very confident in her figure and looks.
But Fang Xiu wouldn’t even agree to go back together, let alone let her take him.
’There must be something wrong.’
Sometimes, a woman’s line of thought is just that simple.
’If you refuse a ride home from a beautiful woman like me, then you must be the one with the problem.’
That was why Li Mu had vanished and then come right back.
She just wanted to see why Fang Xiu had repeatedly refused to go back with her.
"Yes, Master. I’ll be going then!"
Kajimi nodded slightly.
After all, she knew exactly what Fang Xiu was worried about.
Resigned, Fang Xiu could only take out his phone and call a car.
’Damn that wretched woman! Making me take a car all this way home, making me pay for it myself, and not even reimbursing me! I curse you to never get married!’
Fang Xiu sat in the car, feeling miserable.
It was a very long drive.
’No way. Is he really taking a car back?’
Li Mu watched as Fang Xiu got into a car.
It then headed in the direction of his home.
This surprised Li Mu quite a bit.
She had originally thought Fang Xiu had some special way of getting back, or that he was hiding some secret.
She never imagined that Fang Xiu would actually use the most straightforward method: taking a car.
’No, I have to follow him the whole way and see for myself.’
After all, Fang Xiu was a talent the Awakening Hall planned to cultivate as a priority.
If he was really hiding something, it had to be investigated thoroughly.
Li Mu was also doing this for the safety of the Awakening Hall.
In the past, the Awakening Hall had been too lax.
As a result, an Awakened with a very complicated background managed to infiltrate their ranks.
Later, a disaster occurred.
It nearly destroyed the Awakening Hall.
Ever since then, even when exceptionally talented individuals joined the Awakening Hall, special personnel would be assigned to investigate them for any potential issues.
If any problems were discovered, they would be reported immediately.
The Awakening Hall would then pass judgment.
They would determine if the Awakened was qualified to join the Awakening Hall.
They had even discovered some Awakened who were sent by other organizations.
Those Awakened would all receive the punishment they deserved.
Right now, Li Mu was just conducting a simple investigation.
As long as she could confirm that there was nothing wrong with Fang Xiu,
then the Awakening Hall would truly begin to cultivate him.
"Master, we’ve already driven quite a long distance. Why don’t we just fly back!"
Just then, Kajimi sent Fang Xiu a text message.
But Fang Xiu refused.
He was worried that Li Mu might be following him on the road, or that she might use her Space Wormhole to wait for him directly at his house.
That would be a huge hassle.
Although exposing Kajimi wouldn’t necessarily put him in danger or lead to any serious consequences,
to Fang Xiu, Kajimi was his trump card, his last resort.
Unless it was absolutely necessary, Fang Xiu was unwilling to reveal his trump card.
’After I get back this time, I need to figure out a way to gather the materials. I have to raise Kajimi’s strength again.’
Fang Xiu had already made up his mind.
He now had a huge number of Points on the Awakener Website.
Thanks to selling Cultivation Techniques and his current fame, he had sold a large number of them and earned a ton of Points.
As long as he had a clue, Fang Xiu could spend a large amount of Points to exchange for all sorts of things.
