"You... do you still have Heavenly Mysterious Ice Spirit Marrow?"

Upon hearing Mu Jinyu's words, the young man looked at him with excitement, thinking that Mu Jinyu was ready to take out the remaining part of the Heavenly Mysterious Ice Spirit Marrow to give to him.

To improve his own aptitude.

"No."

Mu Jinyu shook his head slightly and sighed: "I don't have any Heavenly Mysterious Ice Spirit Marrow left, I've already used it up."

"Oh..."

Upon hearing Mu Jinyu's words, the young man felt as if he had been doused with a basin of cold water, feeling extremely uncomfortable all over.

He opened his mouth, finally responding in despair and numbness.

Seeing the other's reaction, Mu Jinyu explained: "Although I don't have any Heavenly Mysterious Ice Spirit Marrow left, there are Exotic Treasures in this world that can increase one's bloodline concentration. You aren't beyond help, and I want to help you by finding these Exotic Treasures for you!"

"This..."

"Really?"

The young man, who was originally discouraged and even hopelessly pained, felt his heart become lively again after hearing Mu Jinyu's words. His eyes lit up as he asked excitedly.

"Yes." Mu Jinyu nodded gently.

"Although this might not amount to much, it can at least express my sadness over Teacher Chen's predicament..."

Upon hearing Mu Jinyu's words, the young man remembered that this senior was entirely helping him because his uncle had offered some assistance when he joined Dongyue Mansion.

He took a deep breath and slowly shook his head, saying: "Forget it, this is too precious. Senior, if you obtain an Exotic Treasure similar to Heavenly Mysterious Ice Spirit Marrow that increases bloodline concentration, the cost is immense. It's not worth supporting me like this; my uncle merely offered you a small favor, it's not worth such a sacrifice from you!"

Seeing the other's initially excited demeanor turning to restraint in refusal, Mu Jinyu looked at him in surprise and then showed a look of appreciation, smiling: "In my hometown, there's a saying, a drop of water shall be returned with a burst of spring. The care Teacher Chen gave us, perhaps in your eyes or in most people's eyes, is trivial, but for us back then, we were indeed very grateful to have such a senior taking care of us..."

"Now, with him missing and suspected to be in hardship, I have no way to repay his kindness. Yet, I happen to meet you and find your situation in Dongyue Mansion to be rather difficult. If I didn't know, it would be fine, but knowing it and still not extending a hand, can I still call myself a person?"

At this point, seeing the young man wanting to say something, Mu Jinyu gestured with his hand:

"There's no need to refuse, just help me with this task. If I don't do anything, I would feel very guilty..."

After Mu Jinyu's repeated persuasion, the young man sighed softly and finally stopped refusing.

He lowered his head with some shame.

He knew that what he was doing was somewhat improper, as his uncle's care for Mu Jinyu and them didn't warrant Mu Jinyu offering an Exotic Treasure like Heavenly Mysterious Ice Spirit Marrow, which can enhance bloodline concentration.

But he was truly fed up with his current predicament and no longer wanted to remain a useless Beginner Student.

So, he thought to himself, he would just accept Mu Jinyu's help for now.

He would repay Mu Jinyu once he had the capability, just like Mu Jinyu had said.

"By the way, what's your name?"

After talking to the young man for quite some time, Mu Jinyu suddenly realized that he still didn't know the other party's name, and asked with a smile.

The young man hesitated for a moment, then quickly answered seriously: "My name is Chen Yinlong!"

"Yinlong... hmm, good name..."

Upon hearing this, Mu Jinyu repeated the name thoughtfully and then complimented him with a smile.

Chen Yinlong immediately felt a bit embarrassed, scratching his head and laughing awkwardly.

"If there's nothing else, I'll be heading back now..."

Seeing that their conversation was mostly over, Chen Yinlong got up, intending to take his leave.

Mu Jinyu tried to keep him: "Why leave? How can you stay at the Beginner Students' accommodations... You should stay here..."

He initially intended to let Chen Yinlong stay here, as there were enough rooms.

However, as he was about to speak, he remembered that Courtyard No.96 had already been transferred to Chu Huannian after he was promoted to Senior Student.

Chu Huannian was the owner of this courtyard.

How could he presumptuously let Chen Yinlong stay here?

Even though he thought Chu Huannian would likely agree.

Moreover, Teacher Chen had been gracious to Chu Huannian as well.

But his own notion was that part of the gratitude towards Teacher Chen could be passed on to Chen Yinlong, yet who knew what Chu Huannian's thoughts were?

What if she felt that the kindness owed to Teacher Chen had nothing to do with Chen Yinlong?

Wouldn't that be awkward?

After pondering for a while, Mu Jinyu didn't say the words out loud, instead changing to: "Let's go, I've just been promoted to Senior Student and have a better and bigger residence, living alone is quite dull, why don't you move in with me?"

"That's... alright..."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yinlong hesitated, wanting to politely refuse, but after considering that he had already accepted Exotic Treasures similar to Heavenly Mysterious Ice Spirit Marrow, moving in with Mu Jinyu didn't seem a big deal either.

So, he agreed.

"Alright, I'll call them over and have them take a look too..."

Mu Jinyu nodded slightly, then went to inform Chu Huannian and the others, asking if they wanted to go to his place to have a look together?

The three women, Chu Huannian, readily agreed.

Then, the five of them left Courtyard No.96 together.

They headed towards the Senior Students' area, to Mu Jinyu's Courtyard No. 121.

Mu Jinyu's residence in the Senior Students' area was indeed much larger than those of the Intermediate Students, almost like a small Secret Realm.

It looked small from the outside, but once inside, it was found to be very large, spanning hundreds of acres, with waterfalls and streams, scattered pavilions, and various Spirit Beasts either frolicking freely on the grass or soaring and singing in the sky.

"Wow, this is just like an Immortal Realm, it's so wonderful here..."

After witnessing the exquisite residence of Mu Jinyu, Ji Xiaoyun and Chu Huaxiu's eyes lit up, and their initial intention of staying at Chu Huannian's Courtyard No.96 wavered.

They wanted to move in with Mu Jinyu.

Even Chu Huannian felt that Mu Jinyu's place was indeed excellent.

Both the environment and the various Origin Qi diffused in the air far surpassed those of the Intermediate Students.

However, she wasn't the type to live off others. Before, she moved with Mu Jinyu because the environment at the Beginner Students' place was really too poor.

Secondly, she was also concerned about her younger sisters.

Now that she also had a residence for Intermediate Students, she had no reason to continue living with Mu Jinyu.

Moreover, she remembered that Mu Jinyu had mentioned before that if someday something happened to him, he might have to leave Dongyue Mansion and go on the run.

He wanted to maintain some distance to prevent dragging them into it.

Although Chu Huannian felt it unnecessary, as they could face enemies together, what Mu Jinyu mentioned was not something happening, but leaving Dongyue Mansion, fleeing for life.

Bringing them along might be a burden...

So, Chu Huannian had to agree not to become a burden to Mu Jinyu.

Under such circumstances, continuing to live with Mu Jinyu was clearly inappropriate.

"Alright, we've seen it, we should head back..."

Chu Huannian calmly said to Chu Huaxiu and Ji Xiaoyun.

"No, we want to stay here with Brother Jinyu..."

After hearing Chu Huannian's words, Ji Xiaoyun and Chu Huaxiu whined, unwilling to go back to Courtyard No.96.
