Mini World Game Console-Chapter 855 - 856: The Famous Detective Young Master Mu [10K Updates for Monthly Tickets]

In the living room, Gu Yueyan sat on the sofa, watching a movie on a tablet. Suddenly, she rubbed her legs together awkwardly and said in a low voice, "Sister Qiao..."

"What's wrong? Itchy?" Qiao Muyi, who was resting her head on Gu Yueyan's thighs, asked with a laugh. "Sorry, but your thighs are so smooth and elastic; they feel so comfortable to touch~"

Damn it! Another rival for the class leader's affection! It was me who first discovered how fun the class leader is! I haven't even rested on those fair and tender thighs of hers yet! Lin Xianyu, observing secretly, roared inwardly. Alas, is this a case of 'a barren field neglected until tilled, then coveted by all'? It's all Big Brother Ren's fault. If Ren Suo were Sister Ren, then Sister Qiao would only be bothering Sister Ren...

Gu Yueyan softly chided, "Sister Qiao, stop teasing me."

"If you don't like it, I'll stop," Qiao Muyi said casually. "Hehe, I wonder if Xiao Suo will think I stole his little cutie when he sees how close we are later?"

"Sister Qiao..." Gu Yueyan blushed slightly. However, since Qiao Muyi made no further moves, just resting her head on her thigh, Gu Yueyan didn't say anything more.

Qiao Muyi's initiative in showing goodwill tonight had caught Gu Yueyan somewhat off guard. The pressure Qiao Muyi usually exerted on her was immense. Even if Gu Yueyan appeared tough when facing Qiao Muyi, she couldn't help but feel a little intimidated deep down.

That's right. Gu Yueyan knew her greatest advantage: she was younger than Qiao Muyi, a reality Qiao Muyi could not reverse no matter what. But this advantage also implied a disadvantage: she still needed to develop in many areas. Career-wise, she hadn't even qualified as a Researcher, while Qiao Muyi was already the Deputy Director of the Tactical Bureau. In terms of Cultivation, she had swiftly ascended to the third turn with the grace of The Dark Side of the Moon, whereas Qiao Muyi had achieved the Fourth-Rank Cultivation, which marked 'The Distinction Between Immortal and Mortal.' In combat power, Qiao Muyi was the strongest terrain modifier in Lianjiang, while all she could do was turn herself into light. In networking, Qiao Muyi had the Tactical Bureau to rely on, while her only supporters were Ren Suo, Lin Xianyu... and a few others. Although Gu Yueyan believed Ren Suo loved her more, this advantage wasn't enough to give her confidence against Qiao Muyi—unless Ren Suo *only* liked her. In that case, no matter how outstanding Qiao Muyi was, she would just be a defeated dog! Unfortunately, no such lucky scenario existed. Now, with Qiao Muyi—who was well-developed in morality, intelligence, physique, aesthetics, and labor—willing to call a truce and be friendly, Gu Yueyan was both surprised and pleased to be given time to develop. Although Qiao Muyi's closeness slightly overstepped Gu Yueyan's boundaries, she was willing to lower her threshold a little to stabilize their friendship.

At that moment, Qiao Muyi, resting her head on Gu Yueyan's thighs, stared blankly upwards. Amazing. I can't see the ceiling at all, just a sliver of light seeping out from the gaps in her clothes. Who would have thought? I, Young Master Mu, actually rank fourth in this aspect. Currently, Cheng Ling and Luna are undoubtedly tied for first and second; my hands have verified that. Now Yueyan is third, and I'm fourth—I'm only better than Xing Mei! Only better than Xing Mei! Second to last out of five people! Although I'm much, much better, I still can't help feeling a little embarrassed. If Lin Xianyu were included, that would make me third from last. Thinking about it that way somehow makes me feel a bit better. But how old is Yueyan now? If I remember correctly, she's... Huh!? Wait, doesn't that mean Xiao Suo…

Qiao Muyi quickly dismissed the thought that was unfavorable to Ren Suo. According to internal network investigation reports, young people's Cultivation has a certain probability of promoting development. This means Yueyan still has plenty of room to grow. She's already so formidable at such a young age. It's quite self-explanatory where the nutrients are going and what the focus of her development is. It seems Yueyan will eventually surpass Cheng Ling and Luna. I, Young Master Mu, willingly concede defeat.

Qiao Muyi merely sighed a few times at this, with absolutely no hint of Jealousy. I'm very satisfied with myself, and I believe Xiao Suo will be more than satisfied with me too. There's no need for these comparisons. And if Yueyan develops well, I'll be overjoyed. I'm the type of person who can feel happy for others' Joy and sad for their sorrow! Besides, once a person crosses a boundary for the first time, crossing it again becomes an easy and familiar occurrence. Now that Yueyan is willing to let me use her lap as a pillow, can the day I play games with her be far behind? Soon, Yueyan will be like Cheng Ling, becoming one of my sources of happiness!

Qiao Muyi, wearing a childlike smile, turned her head to play with her phone. She noticed a new message pop up in the WeChat group "Silly Leaders Assigning Tasks Again":

Director Yu Kuangtu: "To efficiently process the new list of Future Cultivators in Lianjiang, the lunch break is adjusted to 30 minutes. Please eat quickly and return to your posts to continue working. Overtime will be required if work isn't completed."

New York and Lianjiang are 12 hours apart; it was just lunchtime in Lianjiang. As for their overtime work, I can guess—it's undoubtedly related to the 120,000 future Fourth-Stage Cultivators mentioned in the "Top-secret Archives." 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Li Dan: "Received"

Yao Fei: "Received"

"Received" x16...

Young Master Mu: "Tetris teaches us that if your formation is too neat with others, many will perish together with you."

Three seconds later, a barrage of negative emotions poured in. Qiao Muyi nodded, satisfied.

Director Yu Kuangtu: "While you're off chasing poetry and distant dreams, don't disrupt work! Scram, scram, scram!"

Young Master Mu: "Aren't you worried about the predicament your colleagues are in? It's almost midnight here. Do you think I'm playing on my phone instead of sleeping just because I'm bored?"

Yao Fei: "What happened?"

Young Master Mu: "I'm staying in a Five-Star hotel and going to Disneyland tomorrow. I'm so excited I can't sleep, so I'm playing on my phone."

The WeChat group fell silent, then another wave of negative emotions streamed in.

Director Yu Kuangtu: "Why is she the WeChat group owner? WeChat groups have owners? How do you kick out the group owner?"

Director Yu Kuangtu: "Who changed this group's name to that?! How long has it been like this?!"

System Notification: The group name "Silly Leaders Assigning Tasks Again" has been changed to "Lianjiang Tactical Internal Group."

"Hmm~" Qiao Muyi wore a childlike grin.

So satisfying! What a wonderful night this is. Enjoying Yueyan's lap pillow, having brewed a fine pot of toxic chicken soup for my colleagues, waiting for Xiao Suo to come out all clean from his bath, and then tonight...

Just thinking about it brought a blush to Qiao Muyi's cheeks. She glanced at her phone, then frowned. "Xiao Suo has been in the bath for almost forty minutes."

The others were slightly taken aback. Ren Xingmei immediately said, "He usually showers quickly, right? One minute at the fastest, and no more than ten minutes at most."

Little Jiu asserted confidently, "Big Brother is playing with water! There are little ducks in the bathtub! He can play for a very long time!"

Lin Xianyu offered a "rational" speculation, "Maybe he fell into a cesspool?"

Gu Yueyan also raised her eyebrows slightly. "Regardless, forty minutes is indeed a bit long. Could something have happened?"

Qiao Muyi thought so too. It was indeed strange for a man to take such a long time to bathe.

Even if that tub was filled with my used bathwater, it shouldn't make Xiao Suo linger that long, should it? But then again, it's hard to say. Xiao Suo's willpower in this area has almost never been remarkable. He was too much of a 'steel straight man' before, and now he's too easily aroused when facing his lovers. If that weren't the case, I wouldn't have insisted on taking away his Eye of Truth. I really don't feel at ease. I always have a feeling that if I'm not careful for a moment, Xiao Suo's very bones will be gnawed clean. There are too many bad women out there. It's up to me to protect the best Xiao Suo under the stars.

Qiao Muyi walked straight to the bathroom door, knocked, and called out, "Xiao Suo?"

No response.

Qiao Muyi knocked again. "Xiao Suo? Are you not finished yet? Yueyan can hardly wait; she's going to come in and bathe with you."

Gu Yueyan's face turned red at this but she didn't refute it.

Still, no response.

This time, Qiao Muyi's expression finally changed, her voice growing slightly more urgent. "Xiao Suo! What happened? Answer me!"

This time, there was finally a response. "I... I'm fine."

It was certainly Ren Suo's voice, but his breathing was disordered and his voice deep. He didn't sound like he was soaking in the bath, but more like he had expended a lot of Physical Strength.

Qiao Muyi's eyes flashed with a strange light. "You're not done yet?"

"Almost. I'll be done soon." Ren Suo seemed to be steadying his breath, but this couldn't fool Qiao Muyi, the famous detective of the Spiritual Energy Revival era.

Instead of knocking again, Qiao Muyi returned to the living room, sat down, and plunged into thought, distilling a few key points:

① Xiao Suo's response was very slow. This could mean he was busy, or perhaps too exhausted to hear.

② Xiao Suo has clearly expended a lot of Physical Strength.

③ Cheng Ling hasn't returned yet.

④ If Cheng Ling did return, her first teleportation target would be Xiao Suo.

When all the clues are linked together, and all impossible options are ruled out, only one truth remains! But more importantly, what should I do now? Should I just barge in?

Qiao Muyi quickly dismissed the thought. Whether I guess wrong or right, the situation will be awkward. I have another, better way to confirm – the Eye of Truth. I didn't think it would come in handy so quickly.

Qiao Muyi reached for the Eye of Truth, then hesitated.

I promised Ren Suo I would notify him before using the Eye of Truth to observe him. Of course, I have reason to break this promise now, and Ren Suo would never know if I did. This rule only binds the honorable; it can't bind the unscrupulous... or women.

But after struggling for a moment, Qiao Muyi still gave up.

Once a person breaks their bottom line for the first time, doing it again becomes all too easy. I know this all too well. Even if I have a hundred reasons, once I break a promise, I'll find even more reasons to break promises in the future. Trust is hard to establish, but it shatters with a single betrayal. If love has no boundaries, it will drown everyone. Besides, I had anticipated all of this happening; or rather, this was what should have logically occurred. But... but...

However, Qiao Muyi didn't intend to just give up.

I did promise not to use the Eye of Truth to observe him without notifying Ren Suo. But I can observe Dong Chengling!

She channeled Spiritual Energy to activate the Eye of Truth, locking onto her target—Dong Chengling!

Cheng Ling, let me see just how compromising your current situation is!
