Asha Ruiya and Ailin

Tang Miao's voice wasn't very loud, but Tang Yue still heard it clearly!

"You've really grown quite capable, you've really made your sister proud!" Tang Yue said with a smile.

Of course, if she hadn't been pinching her own soft spot, that smile might have been quite lethal.

After pinching Tang Miao for a while, Tang Yue let him go.

After all, it was already the day of her duel with Zu Xiangtian, and she didn't want to let these "trivial matters" affect him.

Moreover, having a lot of debt doesn't mean you have to worry.

She already knows so many of her so-called sisters... why would she care about a few more?

Anyway, Tang Miao was still somewhat aware of the situation; at least she didn't bring any woman other than Mu Ningxue to her.

It can be said that among Tang Yue's people, only Mu Ningxue was truly recognized.

That was because she had no choice. She managed such a large family business for Tang Miao, working diligently and obediently. What reason did Tang Yue have to refuse?

"Yueyue~~"

Seeing that Tang Yue neither made a move nor spoke, Tang Miao became quite flustered...

"Alright, go ahead, but handle it properly. At least don't let them show up in front of me, or I'm afraid I'll explode." With that, Tang Yue got up and walked out of the house.

"Phew~"

With a slight sigh of relief, Tang Miao Instantaneous Movement, leaving the house and appearing outside the Moon Snow New City Villa District.

The patrolling mages guarding the area were all startled by Tang Miao's sudden appearance.

However, before they could say anything, Tang Miao was no longer there...

In two Instantaneous Movement, Tang Miao arrived directly at the border between Moon Snow New City and Fei Niao City.

Although a large part of Fei Niao City is under his control, Fei Niao City ultimately does not belong to the Tang family. Therefore, Fei Niao City remains Fei Niao City, Moon Snow New City remains Moon Snow New City.

Just as he arrived, Asha Ruiya and Ailin walked by together, chatting and laughing.

That's pretty outrageous...

Even if Fei Niao City isn't big, and the airport isn't big either, surely the two girls wouldn't run into each other so easily, right?

Tang Miao saw them, and they naturally saw Tang Miao as well.

If it were just one person, he would feel obligated to go up and give them a hug, but since there are two of them, hugging them both at the same time is definitely not an option...

"Did you come together?"

"No, I met him at the Fei Niao City airport. But, Master Tang has quite the influence, even Grand Duke Ailin came to show her support." Asha Ruiya looked at Tang Miao, who was unusually well-behaved and didn't move an inch, and found it somewhat amusing.

It seems even scoundrels have their quiet moments.

Ailin smiled, then glanced at Tang Miao, before looking at Asha Ruiya and saying, "This person has almost forgotten about me since the National Prefecture Competition ended. If I don't come to find her soon, she'll probably be completely forgotten. But you, Goddess Candidate, how come you have time to come here?"

They seemed to be having a good time before?

Suddenly, it was as if things had changed...

Tang Miao stood there, showing no intention of interrupting.

Women are such difficult creatures to understand.

"Hehe... I have no supporters and no connections as a candidate, I'm practically bored to death all day long. I heard there's a competition for the world's strongest youth here, so I came to check it out." Asha Ruiya replied.

Ailin curled her lip and said, "The strongest in the world? I doubt it. There are plenty of young people in this world. That guy just got first place in the national team."

This girl is clearly up to no good. Tang Miao then spoke up, "Since you're already here, are you planning to wait here until the duel day to go inside?"

After saying that, Tang Miao stepped aside and gestured for him to proceed.

The two women weren't there to admire the scenery; they were actually quite curious about Moon Snow New City. They wondered how Tang Miao, someone with no background, could establish such a powerful clan.

However, after the two women walked through the new town area and headed towards the villa, they both paused slightly in surprise!

It wasn't that they were unsophisticated, nor that they hadn't seen territories larger than this. What surprised them all was how his family had grown so powerful in just a few short years.

It's fair to say that the Tang Clan's territory now feels less like a newly established clan and more like a long-established family!

Moreover, along the way, there were patrolling mages coming and going in waves, which made the two of them quite curious. If there were so many patrolling mages in just one city, how many more mages would be needed in the back mountain area and the other two sides? The key question was how a clan in Moon Snow New City, which had only been established for a short time, could support such a huge expense!

It's absolutely impossible that these mages are working for free!

After all, there's no such thing as a free lunch in this world.

Asha Ruiya was alright; although she had never been here before, she had heard some things about what happened here.

For Ailin, in her subconscious mind, Tang Miao's family, being half the size of a small town, was already quite impressive.

But an entire town, or even a small city, plus the mountains behind it—isn't that a huge area?

"Tang Miao, what kind of windfall have you made these past few years?" Ailin stopped and asked as they walked into the villa area of the mountain resort.

"What makes you say that?"

"The construction here is something a small clan could never afford..."

As the heir apparent to her family, Ailin was quite knowledgeable about these things, so she was curious: Did Tang Miao only see the present? Was he not planning to develop the future?

"This area outside Fei Niao City was a gift from the government. As for its development, it naturally involved some business investment. They want to make a living here, so of course they can't just stay for free. I provide them with protection, take a cut of the profits, and besides, I own two mines..."

Tang Miao recounted all the income he knew, and even he himself was a little curious about the actual annual output.

Of course, he wouldn't be thinking about that right now, and he wasn't interested in it either. With more income comes more expenses, after all, there are quite a few people in Moon Snow New City.

These are all things that Mu Ningxue should worry about.

"So what about the other three directions, given the large number of patrol teams in the city?" Ailin continued.

"Those three sides don't need patrolling mages, and compared to where we're entering, the other three directions are actually extremely safe. Moreover, there are even more patrolling troops on those three sides than on the front," Tang Miao said with a slight smile.

Chatting casually along the way, the three arrived at the entrance of the villa. Tang Miao then said, "Alright, let me take you to your accommodations first, and you'll see what I'm doing when I show you around."

"So, where are you going to arrange for us?" Asha Ruiya, who had been quietly observing the scene without saying a word the whole way, suddenly asked.

"Of course, it's the best room in Moon Snow New City," Tang Miao replied.

"Is this Mu Ningxue's room?" Asha Ruiya asked again.

"Stop fooling around!"

"Speaking of which, is this your family's or Mu Ningxue's family's?" Ailin asked when Asha Ruiya mentioned Mu Ningxue.

During the National Prefecture Competition, this bastard acted all devoted, blinding Ailin. Now that so much time has passed, Ailin, who keeps an eye on his movements, can naturally guess that the relationship between Tang Miao and Mu Ningxue is definitely not simple!

If you say there's nothing wrong between them, then there's definitely something fishy going on!
