"Okay."

Lin Mo unexpectedly agreed so readily.

Even Xue Wen was a bit surprised. Given Lin Mo's personality, she thought he would refuse her, but she didn't expect him to agree so quickly.

Xue Wen found it amusing, "Trying to act cool, aren't you?"

Actually, Lin Mo had his own plans.

If he went directly to find the two cultivators from Han Country and if they were on alert, once they notified their Sect, his whereabouts would be exposed. It's best to catch them off guard and control them.

The best way was to stay with Xue Wen. Those two hadn't left yet, obviously with intentions toward Xue Wen.

"Let's go, my friend is waiting for me downstairs at the hotel." Xue Wen said with a smile, not waiting for Lin Mo to speak, she grabbed his arm and headed toward the elevator.

Lin Mo subtly pulled out his arm.

"Hmm? Do you think I'm not pretty enough to hold your arm, huh?" Xue Wen pouted.

Xue Wen was confident in her looks. Men usually gazed at her with glowing eyes, unlike Lin Mo, who showed such indifference.

But the more Lin Mo acted like this, the more curious Xue Wen became.

"I have a wife, so please respect that." Lin Mo grinned.

"You're so young and you already have a wife? You're kidding. You must have a little girlfriend." Xue Wen laughed, covering her vibrant lips.

Lin Mo didn't bother to explain.

The two arrived at the hotel entrance, where a blue Maserati Quattroporte was parked.

"Wenwen, over here!"

It was the high-end series Maserati Quattroporte, costing around three million, a luxury car. The co-driver's window slid down, revealing a fair oval face with a joyful smile.

"Ren Jing, got yourself another rich and handsome guy?" Xue Wen teased as she walked over briskly.

"What are you talking about? Let me introduce my husband, Su Yu." Ren Jing replied.

A well-dressed, handsome young man in the driver's seat smiled at Xue Wen.

"By the way, didn't Wu Zhiming ask you to attend a banquet? Why do you have time to hang out with me?" Ren Jing asked.

"I told him I had a stomachache and postponed." Xue Wen said with a smile.

"Get in the car, let's find a place to sit," Ren Jing smiled.

Xue Wen and Lin Mo sat in the back seat. Ren Jing took another glance at Lin Mo but said nothing.

The four arrived at an outdoor café on a bustling street and found a vacant seat, ordering four cups of coffee and some pastries.

It was just evening, the setting sun staining the clouds red along the horizon, creating a stunning scene.

"The scenery on this old street is beautiful, especially in the evening when you can enjoy the sunset while having coffee." Ren Jing chuckled.

"It is quite beautiful."

Xue Wen looked at the distant sky, her face beaming with a radiant smile.

"They're on the move," Lin Mo held his coffee, his lips curling slightly as his Divine Thought spread, detecting two cultivators from Han Country leaving the hotel and slowly heading this way.

Ren Jing and Xue Wen were college classmates and close friends, the two school beauties back then. Xue Wen became a model while Ren Jing became a web broadcaster with some fame in the country.

Su Yu was Huaxia, with family businesses in Han Country. He and Ren Jing were visiting Han Country for a vacation.

After chatting with Lin Mo for a bit, Su Yu realized Lin Mo knew nothing about business or the fashion industry, and was rather reticent. This made Su Yu stop talking, revealing a hint of disdain in his eyes.

Because Lin Mo's entire outfit lacked any brand names and his demeanor wasn't like that of a wealthy young man, Su Yu couldn't understand why Xue Wen would be with such a person.

"I need to use the restroom."

Lin Mo suddenly stood up and walked directly to the coffee shop's restroom.

Reaching the restroom, there was no one inside.

Lin Mo clasped his hands together, forming a spell. Those two cultivators from Han Country, he didn't know if they had magic treasures to notify their Sect. If they did, his actions would definitely be exposed. He had to ensure everything was perfect.

Lin Mo wasn't sure how many cultivators there were in the entire Han Country's Cultivation World, but he knew from the last confrontation with Tian Zhao and others that there seemed to be stronger forces behind them, though they hadn't shown up then.

This time, Lin Mo's aim was the Spirit Vein. The Spirit Vein is the source of cultivation. Extracting the Spirit Vein would prevent cultivators from practicing, akin to killing a person's parents.

However, for his mother, Lin Mo didn't fear becoming enemies with all the cultivators of Han Country, "After extracting the Spirit Vein, I must leave Han Country immediately. Hopefully, my assumption is correct."

Lin Mo took out several talismans and engraved them, preparing an Array over the whole café. Once the two cultivators from Han Country arrived, the Array Barrier would activate immediately, preventing Divine Thoughts and magic from being transmitted outside.

Outside the outdoor café.

"Wenwen, who is that guy really? I know your taste. An ordinary guy won't catch your eye!" Ren Jing asked in a low voice after Lin Mo left.

Xue Wen stirred the coffee with a porcelain spoon and explained briefly what happened at the airport, then laughed, "But he's quite interesting."

"He's just pretending to be mature to attract girls' attention. What age are we in now?" Su Yu suddenly laughed coldly.

Ren Jing nodded, "Yes, Wenwen, don't let him fool you. If he's just an ordinary guy, how could he be worthy of you?"

"Oh, you two are overthinking. He's just helping me out." Xue Wen frowned, shaking her head.

Just then, two black business cars drove into the street and stopped. A group of black-suited bodyguards stepped out.

From one of the business cars, a young man in a brown suit got out, adjusting the gold-rimmed glasses on his nose, his gaze sharp behind the lenses.

Seeing this person, Xue Wen's face subtly changed.

The young man narrowed his eyes slightly, eyes sharp, walking quickly toward Xue Wen.

"Wenwen, didn't you say you had a stomachache, that you weren't feeling well and needed to rest at the hotel?" Wu Zhiming adjusted his glasses, his eyes sharp behind them.

"My best friend came to see me, so I came out for coffee with her," Xue Wen replied, her expression embarrassed.

"You have time for coffee with your best friend but not to attend a banquet with me?" Wu Zhiming sneered.

Ren Jing stood up, smiling, "Young Master Wu, I didn't know Wenwen had work. That's why I asked her to come out for a bit of fun. Please don't blame her."

"Yes, Young Master Wu, please give me some face," Su Yu stood up, smiling.

Wu Zhiming glanced at Su Yu. Su Yu was from the same social circle, with family power comparable to Wu Zhiming's.

"Since Young Master Su asked, I must give face. Xue Wen is a rising star our company is promoting, I won't make it difficult for her. But where is that guy? He hit my bodyguards yesterday, and I must settle the score with him." Wu Zhiming said coldly.

"You mean the Shadow?"

Xue Wen frowned and asked.

"Yes, that guy. Where is he? Today, I must make him kneel and apologize to me." Wu Zhiming's eyes were ruthless.

Behind Wu Zhiming stood a group of expressionless bodyguards. Among them was a man from Han Country with a long blade at his waist, his eyes sharp like an eagle's.

"He just went to the restroom. Why? Did that guy offend Young Master Wu?" Su Yu's face showed interest.

"He went to the restroom. Could it be he knew I was looking for trouble and ran away early?" Wu Zhiming squinted slightly, a sharp glint in his eye slit.

"That guy offended me, injured my bodyguards, and made me lose face. Today I must teach him a lesson to loosen his bones a bit." Wu Zhiming said coldly.

"That guy's personality definitely offends people." Ren Jing murmured quietly.

Xue Wen frowned, her face slightly pale, "Young Master Wu, he is my friend. If he offended you, I apologize on his behalf. I hope you won't make things difficult for him."
