"I've been quite busy recently, can't find the time." The young man smiled calmly, dressed in a sharp suit, one hand in his pocket, with an air of ease and indifference.

Only, the few beautifully dressed girls in evening gowns around him couldn't help but show a look of disappointment in their eyes.

"Young Master Shen!"

Wang Ya led Lin Mo and Zhang Douling through the crowd towards the young man, a gentle smile appearing on her pretty face, and called softly.

The young man turned his head and saw Wang Ya and the others approaching, the corner of his mouth curled into a faint smile.

"Miss Wang, I haven't seen you, I thought you weren't coming?" The young man said with a smile.

"Invited by Mr. Shen, how dare I not come?" Wang Ya replied with a half-smile.

Lin Mo glanced up and down at the other, around twenty-four or twenty-five in age, with pure Spiritual Energy in his body, nourishing himself with it, which kept him so vigorous. Yet his cultivation was only at the Qi Cultivation Middle Stage.

Compared to Lin Mo, it was like the difference between an ant and an elephant.

Among the beautiful women around, there were daughters of powerful families, TV stars, and models. Upon seeing Wang Ya, a trace of jealousy shone in their eyes.

The young man before them was a member of the Shen Family, named Shen Guanyang, a young talent whom countless tycoons in Melbourne wanted to marry their daughters to.

"Miss Wang, you really know how to joke. Shall we find a place to sit?" Shen Guanyang's mouth curled into an elegant arc.

"Sure!"

Wang Ya nodded, then gave Zhang Douling a knowing look.

She came to see Shen Guanyang today mainly for the matter concerning Huang Zhengpeng and Zhang Douling.

The Shen Family was immensely powerful; as long as Shen Guanyang said the word, Huang Zhengpeng wouldn't dare lay a hand on Zhang Douling, possibly even annul their engagement.

They arrived at a secluded pavilion in the manor, with a few guards standing outside with stern expressions, preventing others from approaching.

As soon as they stepped into the pavilion, Wang Ya and Zhang Douling sensed the temperature becoming as warm as spring, completely devoid of the earlier chill.

"Tsk tsk, is this the magic of the Shen Family, making the pavilion's temperature as warm as a spring day?" Uncle Miao showed a surprised expression on his face, slightly envious.

"It's just a minor trick is all."

Lin Mo sat on the stone bench with a calm expression, speaking blandly.

Upon hearing his words, Uncle Miao frowned and hummed softly.

If it weren't for Lin Mo being a friend of the young mistress, he would have taught this kid a lesson long ago for always acting so high and mighty, seemingly ignoring his warnings.

Shen Guanyang couldn't help but focus his gaze on Lin Mo after hearing those words.

He didn't recognize Lin Mo, as he knew all of Melbourne's elite talents. Seeing Lin Mo following behind Wang Ya and Zhang Douling, he only assumed Lin Mo was a friend of Wang Ya's, here to gain some insight at the Shen residence.

Didn't expect Lin Mo to be so audacious.

"This friend here doesn't seem to think much of my Shen family's magic?" Shen Guanyang asked calmly, a slight smile on his lips, his gaze landing on Lin Mo.

"Lin Mo, you—"

Wang Ya sitting next to Lin Mo frowned deeply, giving Lin Mo a fierce glare.

Before coming, she had repeatedly warned Lin Mo not to cause trouble at the Shen residence, yet Lin Mo dared provoke Wang Guanyang.

"I'm just speaking the truth." Lin Mo replied indifferently, picking up a teacup from the stone table, taking a light sip.

A trace of coldness flashed through Shen Guanyang's eyes, and he sneered, "Miss Wang, your friend's personality is quite arrogant, with some insight it seems. Indeed, the warmth in this pavilion is just a small array method."

Wang Ya awkwardly smiled at Shen Guanyang, giving Lin Mo a sideways glance.

People humbly said it was just a small method, but it didn't mean you, Lin Mo, could say it out loud.

"May I know your name?" Shen Guanyang asked with a hint of disdain in his eyes.

"Lin Mo."

Lin Mo placed down the teacup, not even sparing him a glance.

Shen Guanyang let out a slight snort, already feeling some discontent in his heart. As a cultivator, though only in the Qi Cultivation Stage, he could see through Lin Mo's strength, merely at the Martial Arts Realm of a Grandmaster, yet dared to act so arrogantly in the Shen residence.

Uncle Miao, standing silently behind Zhang Douling, shook his head, clearly dissatisfied with Lin Mo's character.

"Mr. Wang, Lin Mo is considered a friend of mine too; his personality is just a bit eccentric. I hope Young Master Shen won't take offense to it." Wang Ya said with a stiff smile, wiping sweat off her forehead.

In her heart, she had already cursed Lin Mo to death; didn't he see whom he was dealing with or where they were?

A Martial God might instill fear in the secular world, but this was the Shen family's territory, and Shen Guanyang wasn't an ordinary person.

"Miss Wang, do you think I'm the kind of petty man?" Shen Guanyang couldn't help but laugh aloud.

Wang Ya quickly said: "Of course not. Actually, I came today to ask for Young Master Shen's help with something!"

Wang Ya immediately changed the subject.

"Oh, what could Miss Wang need my help with?" Shen Guanyang asked with a smile."It's about Douling and Huang Zhengpeng's engagement. I'm sure you know that Douling doesn't like Huang Zhengpeng at all, and Huang Zhengpeng even tried to have someone kidnap Douling. If you step in, I believe Huang Zhengpeng would not dare to act recklessly!"

"Oh, this Huang Zhengpeng really is quite impatient?"

Shen Guanyang suddenly burst into laughter, evidently aware of the engagement between Zhang Douling and Huang Zhengpeng.

Wang Ya and Zhang Douling both furrowed their brows at the same time, faintly feeling an uneasy premonition in their hearts.

"Young Master Shen, can you help me? Douling is my best friend, and I don't want her to be unhappy." Wang Ya bit her lower lip, eyes filled with hope.

Zhang Douling also nervously grasped the hem of her white dress as if her fate was in Shen Guanyang's hands.

"No problem, I even know Huang Zhengpeng. If I give him a few words of advice, he certainly won't trouble your friend again." Shen Guanyang replied with a smile, naturally exuding the aura of a supervisor.

Wang Ya bit her rosy lips, letting out a silent sigh in her heart, a bright smile blooming on her pretty face: "Thank you, Young Master Shen, with you speaking on Douling's behalf, Huang Zhengpeng surely wouldn't dare to act against her!"

Zhang Douling hurriedly said: "Young Master Shen, I'd like you to help end this engagement with Huang Zhengpeng, so he won't bother me anymore. I really don't like him!"

Saying this, Zhang Douling clutched her dress tightly, her small face full of anxiety, her tone involuntarily growing firmer.

Lin Mo sat beside them sipping tea, shaking his head inwardly. Asking someone for help shouldn't be done this way; this girl was too anxious, losing her composure.

Sure enough, Uncle Miao quickly placed his hand on Zhang Douling's shoulder, whispering: "Young Miss, Young Master Shen already promised to help. Don't be too anxious."

Wang Ya's eyebrows knitted together tightly. Although her relationship with Shen Guanyang seemed good, it was only because Shen Guanyang admired her. If not for his admiration, her family status wouldn't even allow her to converse with Shen Guanyang.
