Finally, Xiao Mu couldn't help but remind Du Yao once more.

"I'm sorry, Xiao... "

"Stop! Wrong, you just need to answer me with yes. Just say yes!"

"Yes!"

"That's right, in the future, do it just like this, don't apologize to others casually. Hmm, we'll end today's lesson here, and continue next time."

Xiao Mu quietly wiped away some sweat, feeling that teaching is too difficult, especially teaching someone like Du Yao how to converse calmly and confidently with others.

"Grand Elder Xiao, can I ask you... a question?" Du Yao suddenly stuttered.

"You may!" Xiao Mu responded, "What question, ask away."

Du Yao seemed a bit uneasy, but still mustered the courage to say, "Grand Elder Xiao, can I still… continue to collaborate with others in concealing Heaven's Secrets for others?"

"Who? Qin Qin? You want to continue to collaborate with her to conceal Heaven's Secrets for others? Aren't you afraid she'll bully you again? Wait, you were flustered again just now, this question shouldn't be asked to me."

"Never mind, let's settle this question first, you want to continue collaborating with Qin Qin? Aren't you afraid she'll bully you again?"

"Reporting to Grand Elder Xiao, no, no, it's not Qin Qin."

Du Yao shook her head, still looking flustered, and quickly explained, "It's another person among my colleagues, named Xu Meng. She... she wants to collaborate with me."

Xu Meng? Who is this person? Collaborating with others doesn't require telling me, does it?

Xiao Mu was indifferent, is it necessary to inform me about your affairs?

No, Du Yao is my exclusive Mengtian envoy, discussing matters with me is reasonable.

Not telling me would be incorrect.

However, the question Du Yao asked made Xiao Mu quite dissatisfied, as my exclusive Mengtian envoy, you still want to collaborate with others for them, earning resources?

Hmm, not right either, there is no rule about this in Mengtian Pavilion, is there? Although Du Yao is my exclusive Mengtian envoy, she hasn't sold herself completely to me, she can continue to serve others.

As for serving me, it's merely a matter of priority.

Xiao Mu said, "You have control over your own affairs. With me around, I'm sure she won't dare to bully you anymore. Right, how are you planning to split the resources earned from serving others? Never mind, no need to tell me, I suppose she won't dare to exploit you."

Though Xiao Mu didn't ask, Du Yao still replied timidly, "Xu Meng said from now on, we'll split sixty-forty, I sixty and she forty, she will handle contacting clients, and I will treat the clients. Additionally, all costs incurred during treatment are included in the expenses."

"Humph, at least it's better than that Qin Qin, but she still needs you to perform spells for others to earn resources, what sixty-forty, tell her eighty-twenty, you eighty she twenty, if she's unwilling to cooperate, let her stay away from you."

"Yes, Grand Elder Xiao, I... I... Du Yao will convey this to her." Du Yao responded uneasily, yet a trace of delight couldn't help but appear in her eyes when she looked at Xiao Mu.

Fine then!

Xiao Mu secretly sighed, he originally intended to make a decision for Du Yao, domineeringly suggesting a ninety-ten split, but then he thought, after all, this is Du Yao's affair, there's no need for him to be too involved, otherwise it would not benefit Du Yao's growth.

Du Yao, as my exclusive Mengtian envoy, will be indispensable to me for a long time, at least until I step into the Heavenly God Realm.

And with my strength improving, Du Yao's abilities must also improve accordingly, otherwise, when my strength reaches a certain level and the influence of Emperor Taija becomes extensive, Du Yao won't be able to continue concealing Heaven's Secrets for me.

Forget it, let her grow on her own, I just need to help her grasp the right direction, and push her at necessary times.

If her abilities are really lacking, unable to keep up with my cultivation progress, I can simply change to another Mengtian envoy.

Xiao Mu quickly made up his mind.

Nonetheless, he still had some confidence in Du Yao, her talent in concealing Heaven's Secrets made him unable to refrain from praising her.

"Let's end here for today. When my strength increases and I need to conceal Heaven's Secrets again, I'll come find you."

Xiao Mu stood up from the recliner.

"Yes, Grand Elder Xiao!" Du Yao respectfully stood up with him.

"Very good, next time, try only saying yes!"

Xiao Mu smiled at her and strode out of room seven.

Upon leaving Mengtian Pavilion, he went directly to the Warehouse, showed his identity, and directly obtained all the Energy Fruit needed to elevate from the Early Stage to the Middle Stage of True God Realm.

As Xiao Mu was about to leave, a cloud mist suddenly flew from the west, with a figure on it calling out to Xiao Mu, "Grand Elder Xiao, please halt!"

Xiao Mu stopped as requested.

The figure on the cloud mist quickly arrived in front of Xiao Mu, descended from the cloud, and smiled at Xiao Mu, "Grand Elder Xiao, I've been searching for quite a while. I am Qin Yan, the Internal Affairs Department's steward on the Floating Sky Mountain."

This steward Qin Yan appeared about thirty years old, a very capable person, and his strength had also reached the Early Stage of True God Realm.

"Turns out it's Steward Qin, do you have something to discuss?" Xiao Mu looked at him.

Qin Yan smiled and said, "Indeed to handle matters regarding Grand Elder Xiao. For every Alliance member entering Headquarters, the Internal Affairs Department at Headquarters arranges their residence, daily affairs, and cultivation resources."

"Grand Elder Xiao, previously, because you were constantly cultivating, we haven't had the chance to make arrangements for you, my apologies, my apologies!"

Qin Yan spoke while gesturing cooperatively with a hand towards Xiao Mu.

"Enough of that!"

Xiao Mu waved his hand. He had previously been wondering why, since arriving at Floating Sky Mountain, no one had arranged his station and residence, and conveniently Qin Yan had come.

Otherwise, Xiao Mu might have had to leave Floating Sky Mountain after a while to find a random peak.

Qin Yan smiled and said, "My visit this time is mainly to arrange two matters. First, please choose a station, Grand Elder Xiao. On Floating Sky Mountain, there are a total of forty-nine peaks, eleven of which are already occupied, Grand Elder Xiao may choose any one from the remaining thirty-eight."

As he spoke, Qin Yan took out a map.

This map was made from a certain type of spirit paper, and on the paper was a clear 3D design. One could magnify it with a touch to see detailed maps.

This map was of Floating Sky Mountain, through the map, one could clearly see every corner of Floating Sky Mountain.

However, most places were either department stations or belonged to certain Grand Elders, thus they were enveloped by large arrays, appearing as clouds and mist on the map's surface, obscuring what lay beneath.

Xiao Mu held the map and began browsing through the thirty-eight vacant peaks.

These thirty-eight vacant peaks were scattered everywhere, with the fewest in the middle.

Xiao Mu, after some thought, chose a peak in the southeast direction, not too far from the core area of Floating Sky Mountain, nor too close to the edge, relatively central.

"It's this peak then."

Xiao Mu, indicated the peak he had just chosen.

"Congratulations, Grand Elder Xiao, this is Peak 33, currently unnamed, you may name it yourself."

"Let's call it... Tai Mie Mountain!" Xiao Mu pondered and stated a name.

"Tai Mie Mountain, hehe, nice name!" Qin Yan casually praised, wearing a smile while seemingly guessing why Xiao Mu named his mountain thus.

"From today onward, Tai Mie Mountain is all yours, Grand Elder Xiao. You may freely transform Tai Mie Mountain. Required resources will be fully shouldered by the Alliance."

"Aside from this, I have brought a Treasure for Grand Elder Xiao."

Saying so, Qin Yan took out a Storage Box, which, even unopened, was releasing wisps of golden aura from inside.

Qin Yan formally presented the Storage Box before Xiao Mu, "Grand Elder Xiao, this is the Merit Seal. The Human Emperor commands you to oversee it, please accept!"
