Eastern Sea.

After parting with Song Zijin and the others, Mu Jinyu traveled with Gu Xiyan and a few women, playing in the ocean. Three days later, they had reached the vicinity of the Eastern Sea from the Southern Sea.

In those three days, they had grown tired of their ocean adventures and were preparing to return to Yinlong Mountain.

Upon returning to Jiangnan Province from the sea, Mu Jinyu checked his phone and saw a lot of missed calls, most of which were from Yu Shenfeng.

Seeing Yu Shenfeng's call, Mu Jinyu realized that Yu had probably exited seclusion to report good news, but at that time, he was at sea with no signal and couldn't connect.

He tried calling back but couldn't reach him. Mu Jinyu guessed that Yu Shenfeng had likely made significant progress in cultivation after exiting seclusion and was now busy dealing with the organization Fallen Splendor.

"I'll just ask Aunt Mu directly."

Mu Jinyu felt his guess was likely accurate but decided to call Mu Hongchen to confirm.

The call connected.

"Hello, Aunt Mu, how is Senior Yu doing now?" Mu Jinyu wasted no time with pleasantries and asked directly.

Mu Hongchen didn't keep him in suspense and answered seriously, "Senior Yu exited seclusion three days ago, having reached the peak of the Third Layer of the Fanxu Realm. Two days later, San Liu, Qiu Bai, Chen Xiuying, and others also exited seclusion, reaching the Fanxu Realm. Senior Yu intended to notify you that he's going to wage war against organizations like Fallen Splendor and Withered Tree Quest for Spring. But since you were at sea at that time without a signal, couldn't reach you, so he set out a day ago."

"Hmm, I understand." Mu Jinyu nodded lightly, then asked, "Has there been anything else at Dragon King Hall these past few days?"

Mu Hongchen replied, "Yes, there are quite a few things that require your decision. For example, after you took down Purple Gold Mountain in Jinling City, many have sought to claim the territory. But upon learning that it was you, the Dragon Master, who defeated the Master of Purple Gold Mountain in one move, they dared not act rashly. Yet, seeing that Dragon King Hall hasn't sent anyone to settle there, they're confused about your intentions, so they're asking for your stance..."

"I'll talk about that later." Although Mu Jinyu didn't see Purple Gold Mountain as important, he wouldn't let others seize it easily and planned to see who should settle there later.

Mu Hongchen continued, "Besides the Purple Gold Mountain issue, the mountain masters of Mount Mao, Mount Jiuhua, Mount Wuyi, and others sent people to our Dragon King Hall yesterday, wanting to discuss something with you. They didn't specify what it was, and also, the Master of Zhongnan Mountain wishes to apologize to you..."

"Alright, I got it."

Upon hearing Mu Hongchen's words, a hint of confusion flickered in Mu Jinyu's eyes.

He certainly knew the origins of these mountain masters. Weren't the Taoist-robed Youth among them the inheritors from these famous mountains? Why have their masters sent people to find him?

Are they dissatisfied with the amount of Dragon Marrow distributed to their disciples? Or are they eyeing that Bronze Dragon Hall?

Ha, Mu Jinyu chuckled softly, not taking it too seriously.

If they don't learn satisfaction and keep seeking more, he doesn't mind teaching them what it means to suffer the consequences of their actions!

Mu Hongchen didn't mention any other matters, and after chatting a bit more, Mu Jinyu ended the call.

Regarding the apology from the Master of Zhongnan Mountain, he wasn't much concerned.

Then, Mu Jinyu accelerated the speed of the flying boat, rushing towards Yinlong Mountain.

A few minutes later.

The flying boat streaked through the sky, not slowing down at all, directly piercing through the fog-covered Yinlong Mountain.

Back at Yinlong Mountain, Mu Jinyu landed the flying boat at the Martial Arts Arena of Dragon King Hall, leading Gu Xiyan and the others off the boat.

"Dragon Master?!"

"We welcome the Dragon Master's return!"

The young warriors of Dragon King Hall, who were dueling and practicing in the Martial Arts Arena, quickly recovered from their astonishment upon seeing Mu Jinyu and the others disembark from the flying boat and greeted them with salutes.

"Mm, keep working hard, everyone."

Seeing them out training early and sweating profusely, Mu Jinyu nodded with satisfaction, then encouraged them with a few words.

Afterward, he led Gu Xiyan and the others to the office to find Mu Hongchen.

"Aunt Mu, Mom, we're back."

Opening the office door, Mu Jinyu saw only Mu Hongchen and Su Zijin busy with work inside. He casually lounged lazily on the sofa.

Mu Hongchen paused her work, gave Mu Jinyu a mildly reproachful look, then looked at Gu Xiyan and the others entering the office in succession, lamenting, "Ah, Dragon Master, you all went out to play, leaving Su and me to handle the work in Dragon King Hall. The old saying is true, isn't it? That once you have a wife, you forget your mother."

Of course, Su Zijin took her son's side. At her words, she gave Mu Hongchen a sidelong glance, saying, "I haven't complained at all. Young people should go out more often. Besides, they haven't seen each other for over a year. Isn't going on a honeymoon perfectly normal?"

"As elders, isn't it our role to support them during times like these?"

Saying so, Su Zijin flashed a mischievous smile, teasing, "Of course, Little Mu, if you don't want to act as an elder and would rather join the Mu Family as a daughter-in-law and go out with them, I don't mind at all."

Upon hearing Su Zijin's words, Mu Hongchen's face turned beet-red. Then, biting her lip in defiance, she retorted, "Joining your Mu Family as a daughter-in-law? I wouldn't mind that at all, but I'm afraid the Dragon Master wouldn't dare, and Xiyan and the others might tear me apart!"

"So, Sister Su, would you back me or them?" Mu Hongchen challenged with a teasing smile, looking at Su Zijin.

Mu Jinyu sensed an impending firestorm about to engulf him. He quickly stood up, stopping the conversation, and smiled wryly, "How could I ever forget my mother for a wife? Aunt Mu, don't say such things. I've brought gifts for you and my mom this time, demonstrating my filial regard for my elders..."

He brushed aside the teasing comments from Su Zijin and Mu Hongchen. Since they were elders playfully joking, he couldn't respond in kind.

Quickly, he took out the Dragon Phoenix Cauldron and the Jade Bottle containing Dragon Marrow, opened the bottle with a smile: "This is Dragon Marrow I found overseas. Xiyan and the others were quite eager to use it for cultivation right away, but I resolutely refused, saying such a treasure should first be brought back for Mom and Aunt Mu to enjoy. Only then did they relent."

As he spoke, Mu Jinyu handed the Jade Bottle to Mu Hongchen and Su Zijin, then reached into the Dragon Phoenix Cauldron to produce a piece of octopus tentacle, introducing, "This comes from a King Level demon beast we encountered overseas. Xiyan and the others were quite tempted to eat it, but I firmly refused them, saying that such a seafood feast should definitely be brought back first for Aunt Mu and Mom to enjoy..."

Gu Xiyan and Mei Yinxue, hearing Mu Jinyu's nonsense, felt both furious and amused at being called greedy. Yet, with Su Zijin present, they couldn't visibly reprimand him by pulling his ear.

Instead, they moved to his sides, smiling pleasantly, "Yes, yes, indeed, how shameful of us to almost overlook it at the time..."

As they spoke, their delicate fingers reached for Mu Jinyu's soft flesh around his waist, twisting hard.
