Du Wenzhen gave Xiao Mu a thumbs-up.

"We only need two of them, right?"

Xiao Mu took out a small box containing the Soul Chasing Pearls.

"That's enough; you can't take more out without being detected and confiscated. Old Xiao, aside from the two we'll use ourselves, the remaining four can be sold."

Du Wenzhen suggested with a smile.

"Sold?"

Xiao Mu's expression changed. Du Wenzhen's proposal was indeed good, but after thinking it over, he eventually dismissed the idea.

The four Soul Chasing Pearls, even if sold at Ximen Liang's price of five points each, would only total twenty points.

For a mere twenty points, to ruin one's reputation and to be seen as a petty person like Ximen Liang, it simply wasn't worth it.

"No need."

Xiao Mu took out two Soul Chasing Pearls, handed one to Du Wenzhen, and pressed the other onto his own arm. Holding the remaining four, he looked around at the Mutant Beings.

Raising his voice, "Everyone, I, Xiao Mu, am not a petty extortionist. The reason why I taught Ximen Liang a lesson is because he is a scoundrel who monopolizes the Soul Chasing Pearls that belong to the community and sells them for his own benefit."

"Those weaker than him dare not speak out, but I, Xiao Mu, must stand up for justice."

"Now, I have taken the Soul Chasing Pearls from Ximen Liang's hands. I can't use them all, so I'm giving the rest back to you."

"There aren't many, only four. Friends who need to go out for tasks can come and take one. Those who don't need to go out for tasks don't need to come over. Let's leave the Soul Chasing Pearls for those who need them."

"We are all members of the Alliance. When the human world is in crisis, we should pull together and tide over the difficulties together."

Having said these righteous words, Xiao Mu was secretly satisfied. With such a reason, even the Alliance higher-ups biased towards Ximen Liang would find it difficult to blame him.

After all, his action against Ximen Liang was to 'uphold justice.'

Gasps of admiration immediately rose from the crowd, and the onlookers did not skimp on their praises.

"Well said. The human world is in crisis, and as Mutant Beings, we should stand up and protect the human world."

"Xiao Mu, I agree with your statement. If you have the ability, go out and fight the Extraterrestrial Evil Beings. Even if they kill you, others will praise you as a hero. What's the point of being domineering at home?"

...

Xiao Mu smiled and said, "Those who need to go out for tasks can come and take one."

"Mr. Xiao, I need to go to Jialan Domain to look for cultivation resources, may I take a Soul Chasing Pearl?"

Zhu Lanyan came over, gracefully bowing to Xiao Mu.

Unable to help himself, Du Wenzhen sneered on the side, "Zhu Lanyan, do you also have times when you ask others for help?"

Zhu Lanyan gave Du Wenzhen a sidelong glance. This time she did not utter any harsh words but simply stated, "Du Wenzhen, out of respect for Mr. Xiao, I won't scold you this time."

Du Wenzhen replied unpleasantly, "Zhu Lanyan, make it clear. What have I done that should be scolded?"

"Heh! Shouldn't someone who has betrayed so many teammates be scolded?" Zhu Lanyan sneered coldly, ignoring Du Wenzhen as she turned to look at Xiao Mu.

"You…" Du Wenzhen glared at Zhu Lanyan furiously.

Zhu Lanyan acted as if she saw nothing.

"You may."

Xiao Mu took out a Soul Chasing Pearl and handed it to Zhu Lanyan.

"Thank you!"

Zhu Lanyan expressed her gratitude as she took it.

Before long, the remaining three Soul Chasing Pearls were also taken by the Mutant Beings, who thanked Xiao Mu and went on their way.

Xiao Mu and Du Wenzhen greeted the onlookers, squeezed out of the crowd, and started walking towards the outside of the Great Tang Ruins, employing their Escape Art along the way, heading straight for the Nanhua Domain.

No sooner had the two of them left than four streaks of Brilliance, two cyan and two white, appeared near the ruins and followed after them in pursuit.
