Next day.

The Shen Family's Mountain Villa held a banquet, exceptionally lively, with all of Melbourne's dignitaries attending.

"Mr. Shen!"

"Congratulations, Mr. Shen!"

"Second Young Master, you're looking younger and younger; you must have been nourished by a beautiful woman recently."

Shen Tailai and Second Young Master Shen were outside greeting some dignitaries, while Shen Qiankun was inside greeting some cultivation forces.

"Shen Ancestor."

"Lord Krant."

"Shen Ancestor!"

"Frank!"

"Buckley."

A group of people arrived in a stream of cars and entered the villa's inner hall.

Shen Zongwen and Shen Tong, the two Heavenly Beauties of the Shen family, were also in charge of helping greet the guests.

"Mickey, what brings you to my Shen family?"

Shen Guanyang stopped a blond-haired, blue-eyed foreign youth, sneering.

"Shen Guanyang, didn't I beat you up enough last time, and now you've come looking for trouble again?" The youth named Mickey frowned, his gaze fierce. Mickey is a youth from the Clayton Family, a major family in Australia's cultivation world, even slightly overshadowing the Shen family. Shen Guanyang and Mickey have some issues because Mickey's subordinates injured one of Shen Guanyang's friends, and when Shen Guanyang went to demand an explanation, he was instead beaten by Mickey, which he

harbors a grudge over.

"Mickey, what are you doing?"

A tall, high-nosed, deep-eyed curly-haired middle-aged man came over, glaring.

"Dad, this guy is deliberately bothering me…" Mickey said, staring at Shen Guanyang.

"Why don't you quickly apologize to Mr. Shen? Do you want to be locked up?" The middle-aged man furrowed his brows and said harshly.

"Dad!"

Mickey frowned, looking at his father, confused.

According to family power rankings, the Shen family was on a higher tier than their family.

Additionally, his father had never regarded the Shen family highly, and now he was asking him to apologize to Shen Guanyang.

However, seeing his father's strict gaze, Mickey knew his father was angry, so he had to swallow his anger and said to Shen Guanyang, "Sorry."

"Oh, what did you say? Sorry, I didn't hear you." Shen Guanyang dug in his ear, looking lazy.

"You…"

Mickey's face turned red with anger, teeth gritting, "Sorry, Young Master Shen."

"Hehe." Shen Guanyang felt pleased from head to toe.

"Shen Guanyang, why aren't you helping out, what are you doing here?" Shen Zongwen walked over coldly.

"Got it, sis." Shen Guanyang shrugged, just like a little kid, bouncing his way toward the hall.

Shen Guanyang knew in his heart that today, many prominent figures, even more powerful than the Shen family, were not coming for the Shen family's sake but for Lin Mo.

After the battle at Hunter Valley, Lin Mo's reputation was skyrocketing, and almost eighty percent of Australia's families knew that the Shen family had a super formidable Guest Elder, and it was even rumored that the two Shen family ladies were his confidantes.

This led to many families and forces that were usually at odds with the Shen family all scrambling to make peace, hoping the Shen family would spare them.

Even Red Demon, the leader of Saint Carmen, had died at Lin Mo's hands; who wouldn't fear this peerless figure.

"Mr. Lin, congratulations!"

"Mr. Lin, long time no see."

Frank and Buckley were dressed in sharp suits, completely unrecognizable from their fierce appearances in Hunter Valley; now, they resembled noble gentlemen, holding champagne in front of Lin Mo.

"I haven't seen the two of you for a long time either. Let's have a drink." Lin Mo held his glass, taking a sip.

Frank and Buckley smiled so wide their faces seemed about to split, gulping down their entire drinks without leaving a drop.

Lin Mo was giving them face by drinking with them; they could not just sip.

Look at the people around, even more powerful than their own families, who didn't even have the right to speak with Lin Mo. They were only qualified to talk with Lin Mo because they fought alongside him at Hunter Valley.

"Mr. Lin." A slightly cautious voice sounded.

Lin Mo turned around, seeing Donald standing behind him with Huozi.

"Mr. Tang." Lin Mo smiled slightly.

"Mr. Lin, my son once unintentionally offended Mr. Lin, I hope Mr. Lin can be generous and forgive him." Donald's posture was very humble, even could be called obsequious.

Which made Huozi feel somewhat uncomfortable, their Carrot Family was also a major family in Melbourne, now acting like sycophants beside an emperor.

Lin Mo chuckled.

This Donald seemed to understand Huaxia's culture well, studied Huaxia Language, and knew to refer to Huozi as 'my son' humbly.

"Huozi hasn't offended me in any way, has he?" Lin Mo said calmly.

"Thank you, Mr. Lin." Hearing this, Donald's face relaxed slightly, but he still looked at Huozi, saying, "Quickly apologize to Mr. Lin."

"Mr. Lin, sorry, I accidentally offended you before, I hope you won't take it personally." Huozi helplessly lowered his head, sincerely saying.

He knew very well that with Lin Mo's ability, if he wanted to deal with the Carrot Family, a single step could extinguish their family.

"Mr. Lin, everyone's arrived, shall we go inside?"

Shen Tong suddenly ran to Lin Mo's side, speaking softly.

"Alright." Lin Mo nodded, and the two walked side by side toward the hall.

As for Donald and Huozi, Lin Mo didn't even give them another glance.

Such small figures weren't worth his attention.

"Alas." Donald sighed deeply; this was the gap in strength, and with Lin Mo's help, the Shen family would likely soar in the future. At the banquet, Lin Mo sat with Shen Zongwen and Shen Tong, two beauties who were carefully dressed, one tall and coldly glamorous, the other pure and icy, the jewels of the Shen family.

Lin Mo smiled wryly, knowing Shen Qianlong's intentions.

After the banquet, the guests were all delighted.

"Shen Ancestor, if there is any news, I hope you inform me promptly."

Lin Mo instructed Shen Qiankun and then left the Shen family, riding the Xuanyuan Sword, turning into a streak of light.

Shen Tong and Shen Zongwen's eyes were filled with endless resentment.

Shen Tailai and Second Young Master Shen simultaneously sighed slightly.

If the Shen family could truly attach themselves to Lin Mo's big ship, they could ride the waves and soar like fish leaping into the Dragon Sect, but unfortunately, Lin Mo seemed not to have such intentions toward Shen Zongwen and Shen Tong.

…

Huaxia.

Imperial Villa.

A streak of light pierced the sky, landing in the villa.

Sensing the presence, a long golden python and a white-furred ermine simultaneously emerged from the garden behind the villa.

"Master."

"Master."

The golden python and ermine were Lin Mo's pets, left in the villa to protect his parents' safety, and to help make some elixirs, while also looking after his parents.

"Hmm, where's Meng Die?"

Lin Mo asked the ermine.

"Your wife went to the company." The ermine sitting atop the golden python said with a childish voice, like a six or seven-year-old child.

"You two go cultivate properly."

Lin Mo nodded.

"Master, I've been encountering bottlenecks in my cultivation lately, do you have any treasures for me?" The golden python spoke in a deep voice.

"Here you go!"

Lin Mo waved his hand, directly giving ten thousand top-grade spiritual stones, then walked toward the villa.

"Ten thousand top-grade spiritual stones, did you rob a bank?"

The Little Golden Snake exclaimed.

This guy spent years mixing with the human world and often watched TV dramas with Yao Dou, speaking no differently from humans.

Lin Mo rarely paid attention to the two of them, striding into the villa.
