Dragon King Hall's Legend

Mu Jinyu subconsciously recalled the essentials of the Secret Heavenly Calculation, not realizing that even so, his pupils would flicker with the Dayan Divine Talisman.

This allowed Bai Xiaosheng to know that he had truly mastered the Secret Heavenly Calculation.

And once he completely mastered it, as long as he wished, no one would ever see it again.

However, Bai Xiaosheng knew how to hide the Dayan Divine Talisman in his pupils, and after Mu Jinyu returned to his senses, he immediately mentioned this to him and taught him how to hide it.

"Got it, I understand now."

Mu Jinyu was quick to grasp; Bai Xiaosheng only had to explain it once, and he got it.

Then he started to deduce what he would have for lunch later.

Bai Xiaosheng watched Mu Jinyu during his calculations, his eyes merely flashing with brilliance briefly before returning to normal, and anyone unfamiliar with the process wouldn't think much of it.

"Braised beef, fish-flavored eggplant, scallion roasted duck, mapo tofu..."

Mu Jinyu murmured a few dishes to himself, feeling a bit mouth-watering.

Because he was merely deducing trivial matters, rather than peering into the grand tapestry of the future, he wouldn't suffer any severe backlash.

Hence, Mu Jinyu dared to calculate freely like this.

"By the way, how are Xu Hong and Lin Fei doing with their cultivation techniques?"

Mu Jinyu then stopped daydreaming and inquired of Bai Xiaosheng.

Bai Xiaosheng nodded and said, "Hmm, although the Dragon Master granted them profound and obscure techniques, they are very smart. They've now entered the door, and their cultivation reached Energy Transformation yesterday. In a few more days, they should step into the Divinity Transformation Realm, right?"

His tone carried a sense of gratification and admiration.

"That's not bad at all." Mu Jinyu nodded in approval.

Then he checked the time, realizing it was almost time for lunch. Thinking about the lunch he just predicted, Mu Jinyu felt his stomach start to growl, so he invited, "Elder Bai, it's almost mealtime, would you like to eat together?"

"No need." Bai Xiaosheng shook his head, refusing.

But afraid that Mu Jinyu would feel awkward, he smiled bitterly and explained, "Look at this large Profound Stone I'm sitting on. How could I squeeze in with everyone else to eat?"

"Besides, I'm fasting and rarely eat. You go ahead, Dragon Master."

Mu Jinyu thought it made sense; his eating habit did not mean that everyone else had the same one, so he didn't press Bai Xiaosheng to join him.

"Then I'll be off." Mu Jinyu waved and bid farewell to Bai Xiaosheng.

With a step, Mu Jinyu arrived in the dining room of his family's kitchen.

In the kitchen, Gu Xiyan, Wen Rou, and Yu Linglong were helping Su Zijin with the cooking.

Mu Hongchen, meanwhile, was watching TV in the living room. Mei Yinxue sat cross-legged, meditating with a calm expression and a noble aura, much like a princess, due to the influence of refining the Great Emperor Sword.

And those who couldn't cook, like Jian Ruyan and Xu Qingya, naturally didn't go into the kitchen to cause trouble.

"Smells amazing..."

Mu Jinyu entered the kitchen and, seeing that Gu Xiyan and the others weren't paying attention, sneakily grabbed a piece of braised beef and tossed it into his mouth, chewing with satisfaction.

"Hmm?"

The ladies busy in the kitchen heard a sound, turned around, and joyfully looked at Mu Jinyu, saying, "Jinyu, you're out of seclusion?"

"Huh, you don't seem surprised?"

Mu Jinyu noticed their expressions and glances were filled with happiness, without any surprise, and wondered aloud.

Why did Bai Xiaosheng and the others all act like they knew he'd be out?

Su Zijin smiled sweetly and said, "Because Elder Bai told us you'd probably be out around these days too!"

Bai Xiaosheng didn't reveal the outcome of his deduction to Su Zijin and the others but made a judgment based on his experience, so it didn't count as revealing heavenly secrets.

"I see, so it's not that you've been preparing sumptuous lunches and dinners just waiting for me to come out these days?" Mu Jinyu chuckled and asked.

"Well, not really. We thought you'd probably be out tomorrow at least. Who knew you'd come out today? This meal was prepared for ourselves," Gu Xiyan said with a faint tone.

Yu Linglong chuckled, "Hey, hey, hey, who was it that got up early, made us cook all sorts of breakfasts, saying that Jinyu might be out in the morning, and finally gloomily ate the entire breakfast by herself?"

"Hey, you..." Gu Xiyan blushed immediately upon hearing her best friend talking nonsense, raising her hand to hit Yu Linglong.

"Hey, stop it, you'll spill the soup," Wen Rou said with a helpless look, her face serious.

Seeing this, Gu Xiyan had to stop and felt too embarrassed to look at Mu Jinyu.

After all, she had just arrogantly remarked that they didn't particularly prepare a lavish lunch for Mu Jinyu, only to be exposed by Yu Linglong immediately, making her feel quite embarrassed.

Mu Jinyu smiled and didn't want to tease Gu Xiyan, turned to Wen Rou, and asked, "Is the food ready? Can we start eating?"

"Almost done, once Qiaoxia finishes her part, we can eat," Wen Rou replied while gently stirring the soup with a spoon, skimming off the foam.

"Okay, I'll wait for you outside then."

Mu Jinyu said and sneakily picked up the plate of braised beef, walking outside.

"Such a glutton..." Gu Xiyan said with mild exasperation, slightly relieved.

Then she glanced at Yu Linglong, who promptly approached her for some whispered conversation.

Mu Jinyu walked out of the kitchen, sat beside Mu Hongchen with the braised beef, and asked, "Aunt Mu, are the matters resolved?"

"Hmm?" Mu Hongchen, engrossed in the drama on TV with love-struck protagonists, casually grabbed a piece of meat and threw it into her mouth while mumbling in response:

"Yes, the information you gave us about Withered Tree Quest for Spring and the Paradise Lost branch, with the efforts of Senior Yu, San Liu, and Xiyan, they've all been wiped out..."

"If nothing unexpected happened, Withered Tree Quest for Spring and Paradise Lost should be completely annihilated."

"Also, before you went into seclusion, you asked me to return Bai Xiaosheng's true body to the Dragon King Hall. I had people arrange it; thankfully, that rock is heavy, took half a day just to move it back to Jiangnan Province..."

"..."

Mu Jinyu listened to Mu Hongchen's detailed report, understanding she was unaware he had already seen Bai Xiaosheng's true body upon emerging from seclusion.

Similarly, he remained skeptical about the complete annihilation of Paradise Lost, knowing its founder was still alive, acting like a ticking time bomb ready to explode at any time.

"Aunt Mu, keep an eye on Paradise Lost, I suspect their founder is still alive, so exercise some caution," Mu Jinyu reminded Mu Hongchen.

"Not dead? Impossible..." Mu Hongchen shifted her gaze from the TV to Mu Jinyu, frowning, "Paradise Lost was established at least five or six hundred years ago, could he live that long?"

Mu Jinyu chuckled, "The lifespan of the Fanxu Realm is about five to six hundred years, and the lifespan at the Unity Realm Stage is nearly a thousand years, right, Aunt Mu?"

Mu Hongchen's beautiful eyes flickered with a glow of curiosity and doubt, hesitating to say, "No way? A year ago, Earth's Spiritual Energy hadn't revived. Even strong players on the Divine Rankings needed to go to Kunlun Ruins for breakthroughs, and still, very few smoothly reach the Fanxu Realm..."
