Ye Shi, following Chen Da, arrived at the grand entrance of the Mu family's residence. The majestic Mu family mansion stirred an unusual feeling in Ye Shi's heart.

Chen Da stepped forward and knocked on the door.

"Who's there? Knocking so early in the morning!" a servant yawned and came out, visibly annoyed.

"We're from the Ye family of Yun City, here to see the elder Mu Ke," Chen Da stated.

"See the elder? He's in seclusion. He doesn’t have time to meet with you," the servant replied disdainfully, scanning the plainly dressed Chen Da and Ye Shi.

Ye Shi's face flushed with embarrassment.

Chen Da frowned, "Could you please inform Mu Yuanfeng, the elder?"

The servant laughed mockingly, "You sure have a high opinion of yourself! Not seeing the elder, then it’s the second master. He's not available either."

Chen Da's expression darkened, "Could you please announce us? Our young master has an engagement with young master Mu Chen. Elder Mu Yuanfeng will surely want to see us."

The servant snickered, "Engagement? I've never heard of any engagement involving our young master. Your young master must be the one, huh? With that look, daring to dream about young master Mu Chen? He's currently putting all his efforts into pursuing young master Zhuang Yu. If you know what's good for you, don't make trouble, or you'll regret it."

Chen Da's face turned pale with anger, "You... you..."

The servant sneered, "You what? If you know your place, leave quietly, or I'll have you thrown out."

"How can you talk like that?" Ye Shi retorted, face darkening.

"That's how I talk. Don't like it? You can leave," the servant said nonchalantly.

Ye Shi's face reddened with anger, "You... Uncle Chen, let's go."

Chen Da hesitated, pulling on Ye Shi, "But, young master..."

The servant gave them a cold look, "Just leave. The Mu family isn't something you can aspire to."

With clenched teeth, Ye Shi left with Chen Da.

"Young master, don't be disheartened. That servant's attitude doesn’t represent young master Mu Chen," Chen Da consoled.

Ye Shi skeptically responded, "Like master, like servant. Seeing his behavior, I can imagine what kind of person Mu Chen is."

Chen Da frowned, "Maybe the situation isn't as bad as it seems."

Ye Shi puffed his cheeks, "Uncle Chen, you don't need to comfort me. The whole world knows Mu Chen has his heart set on someone else. There's no need for self-deception. A forced melon isn’t sweet. Since Mu Chen has someone he likes, we shouldn't insist."

At that moment, Mu Chen was absorbed in cultivation within the cultivation room, unaware of Ye Shi's arrival.

Mu Chen was pleasantly surprised to find that his learning ability from his previous life had carried over, allowing him to quickly grasp and thoroughly understand the cultivation techniques of this world.

"Mu Chen, have you been cultivating all this time?" Mu Yuanfeng approached and asked.

Ren San nodded, "Yes."

Mu Yuanfeng's face showed relief, "Chen'er, you've finally grown up."

Ren San kept his head down, silent.

Mu Yuanfeng cast a deep glance towards the direction of Mu Chen's cultivation room and left.
