Chapter 389 - 224: The Ascending Peach Beguile!_1
Having been around Fang Mu for a while, Yin Nanzhen had roughly understood Fang Mu’s personality.
He knew that it would be a big mistake if he looked down on Fang Mu because of his young age or tried to take advantage of him using the methods an adult would use.
Fang Mu’s advantages were not so easy to take!
At least as of now, Yin Nanzhen hadn’t seen anyone who could do that.
Fang Mu, when meeting with big figures like Yi Han and “Dragon Mother”, showed no signs of nervousness and was able to converse freely.
This sort of demeanor made Yin Nanzhen feel that Fang Mu was more like a mature middle-aged man.
Not only did Yin Nanzhen feel this way, She Wan did as well.
Indeed, Fang Mu was short of a driver on his way to the Capital, but the position of driver didn’t necessarily have to be filled by Yin Nanzhen.
As a disciple of a Grandmaster Creator looking for a driver, offering a ninety percent purity Life Elixir as the monthly remuneration, there would undoubtedly be many Sequential powerhouses clamoring for the position.
Yet, Yin Nanzhen – till now – hadn’t managed to ascend into Sequential with his three fiery hellhounds under contract.
That Fang Mu was willing to give Yin Nanzhen a chance was greatly related to Yin Nanzhen’s clear understanding of his own position.
Covenant Servant Soul Ant Queen, as long as it had a sufficient supply of Soul Energy, was able to produce soul parasite ants quite fast.
These two Hexagram Beastmasters, even if they ended up being controlled by soul parasite ants, most likely would not stick around but be thrown to Jianmu Commerce Association.
They would act under Fang Yuan’s orders within the association, doing things like guarding or carrying goods.
Fang Mu’s journey to Lu City was a big deal to the She Family, but She Wan didn’t dare to secretly inform her father She Ruan about Fang Mu’s itinerary.
If her father, She Ruan, eager to do the host’s duty, voluntarily came to touch base with Fang Mu, she wouldn’t be able to give a clear explanation.
Some things couldn’t be openly said, but She Wan could try to probe Fang Mu’s intentions indirectly.
“Young master, I’m very familiar with Lu City. I can arrange for you to go anywhere you want immediately.”
“But if you want to participate in the Wan Yu festival and be one of the first to enter, my father would need to apply under the She Family’s name.”
“Every year, the first batch of slots for the Wan Yu Festival is allocated to the Lu Du Five Clans, who in turn will distribute them to favored forces.”
“The fishing ban period in previous years has always been more than ten months. This year is the first unrestricted sea fishing in almost fifteen years.”
“There will certainly be better things at the Wan Yu Festival compared to previous years.”
Fang Mu gave She Wan a half-amused look upon hearing these words, he perfectly understood the implications behind She Wan’s words.
She Wan was seeking an excuse for the She Family to approach him.
She Wan, as his guard would accompany him on his visit to Lu City. If her family wasn’t aware of it, She Wan would definitely receive blame afterwards, affecting her position in the She Family.
“You should speak to your family, and help me secure an entry slot for the first batch of the Wan Yu Festival!”
“Then take me to the Shi Xi Hotel.”
Hearing these words, She Wan’s face instantly lit up with joy.
From Fang Mu’s gaze, She Wan was certain that Fang Mu knew what she was thinking and was willing to accommodate her.
Otherwise, she would have had to try to secure a slot for the Wan Yu Festival in her own name if Fang Mu insisted, and would have had to do as instructed.
Having a master who understood and cared so much about her was truly a blessing!
The place where Fang Mu and Feng Chenhao had agreed to meet was Shi Xi Hotel, located on Lu Yuan Mountain.
The mountain was decorated with a ten thousand meter waterfall, which linked to the mother river of Dragon Rising Federation, the Teng Long River.
The waterfall on Lu Yuan Mountain had formed several waterways.
The restaurant within Shi Xi Hotel was situated along the smoothest of these waterways, the White Stone Stream. Thus, Shi Xi Hotel ranked in the top five in terms of style among the hotels in Lu City.
And it required strong connections to make a reservation.
She Wan had once asked her family to investigate Feng Chenhao’s background because she was curious about the sort of characters Fang Mu was willing to befriend, serving as a homework assignment.
The result made She Wan realize that Fang Mu’s friendships were completely spontaneous and free from ulterior motives.
Otherwise, he would not have befriended someone from the younger generation of a biological group that had never even ventured beyond Qing Cang Province.
Among the younger generation in Langya Biology, Feng Chenhao surely wasn’t a leading figure.
However, after establishing a cosmetics brand with Fang Mu, Feng Chenhao seemed to have gathered considerable funds and resources. This allowed him to make a reservation at Shi Xi Hotel.
Normally, these two Hexagram Beastmasters would certainly be deemed more valuable than Feng Chenhao.
But Fang Mu chose to meet with Feng Chenhao first, rather than the two Hexagram Beastmasters.
This demonstrated how little Fang Mu valued these two Hexagram Beastmasters.
Ever since Fang Mu successfully took control of the void hacker and the corpse of the Blood Race Prince through his electronic butterflies, he would soon have two Sequential warriors at his disposal, whom he could call upon at a whim.
Thus, Fang Mu no longer yearned for troops below Sequential.
These two Hexagram Beastmasters, who deemed themselves superior even without Sequential beasts, would definitely require Fang Mu to invest resources as a Grandmaster Creator once they became subordinates.
Fang Mu thought it necessary to put these two Hexagram Beastmasters in their place, so that they won’t still hold high views of themselves after being taken in by him.
Lu Yuan Mountain, as a well-known mountain in Lu City, had a beautiful environment. The local climate was mild, with lush tropical plants growing on the mountain.
Fang Mu had only walked a short distance before spotting some flourishing Candle Flowers. Plants of the Candle Flower kind were particularly skilled at psychic attack.
Its silver-patterned leaves, when not activated, would silently nourish nearby living souls.
