Ye Mo's perfectly crafted immortal talismans impress an expert, though the shopkeeper still undervalues them. He encounters Xuanyuan Ze and Ling Shan outside the City Lord's mansion. Ling Shan downplays their relationship, prompting Xuanyuan Ze to warn Ye Mo. Realizing his presence is becoming inconvenient, especially with Xuanyuan Ze now staying at the mansion and a marriage proposal accepted, Ye Mo decides to leave. He informs Madam Ling of his departure, choosing to leave on good terms despite her thinly veiled threats.

Looking at the young man disappearing from the hall, Madam Ling’s face was covered with frost. She could clearly understand the meaning Ye Mo wanted to express; he was merely trying to save his own face through this method.

Being expelled from the City Lord’s mansion, it would be better to leave on one’s own.

"No matter if you’re clever or proud, you’re ultimately a boy from the secular world. Whether in terms of talent or foundation, you and Shan’er are people from two different worlds. Moreover, Shan’er has already agreed to engage with Xuanyuan Ze, and once they are married, our Ling family’s status will soar exponentially. Today, it’s best for this to be our last interaction."

Madam Ling spoke lightly.

At this moment, Ling Yue Group also walked into the hall. Seeing his wife’s face so unsightly, he couldn’t help but ask, "Madam, what’s wrong? Now that you have convinced Shan’er, what is there still to worry about?"

Convincing Ling Shan to marry Xuanyuan Ze, Ling Yue Group was internally opposed, but for the Ling family, for the Immortal Spirit City, he tacitly agreed.

"Ye Mo has left our City Lord’s mansion, and it was his own initiative to leave."

Madam Ling coldly said.

"Why didn’t he come to say goodbye to me?"

Ling Yue Group couldn’t help but be puzzled. He himself is the head of the City Lord’s mansion, even if Ye Mo said goodbye, he should have bid farewell to him first.

"I took the initiative to let him go, and then he, for the sake of face, said he wanted to leave the City Lord’s mansion."

Madam Ling furrowed her brow and said.

"What? You let him leave?"

"He has a grudge with Xuanyuan Ze, even if I didn’t let him leave, Xuanyuan Ze would cause trouble, which wouldn’t be a good thing for him or for our City Lord’s mansion. What I didn’t expect was that he, for the sake of face, actually took the initiative to propose leaving the City Lord’s mansion."

Madam Ling coldly said, recalling the previous events, she couldn’t help but feel a rush of anger in her heart.

"With his talent, he must be a very proud person. Whether for the sake of face or for some reason, you shouldn’t have let him leave."

Ling Yue Group helplessly smiled, knowing the situation has already occurred, and wanting to mend it is impossible.

"What are you saying?"

Madam Ling was somewhat puzzled.

"Madam, don’t you understand me yet? If it’s an ordinary person, would I invite him to stay at the mansion? Would I at most use some resources to send him away?"

Ling Yue Group said, "This time, Shan’er and I were able to return safely, and frankly, it’s all because of Ye Mo. Without Ye Mo, Shan’er and I wouldn’t have been able to come back. I asked Shan’er; she was able to escape from the prison entirely because Ye Mo broke the second-order formation of the prison. And Bao Hu wasn’t killed by me; it’s Ye Mo who refined the Immortal Demon Proofing Mirror and killed Bao Hu."

"What?"

Madam Ling was incredulous; she originally thought Ye Mo only helped Ling Yue Group and Ling Shan a little, not realizing Ye Mo actually killed Bao Hu and rescued Ling Shan from the prison.

"Could he be a Second-Order Immortal Talisman Master?"

Madam Ling exclaimed in shock; only a Second-Order Immortal Talisman Master could break a second-order formation.

"I can’t guess this point. After all, in the Immortal Spirit City, the number of Second-Order Immortal Talisman Masters is few, and he still ascended from the secular world. Of course, there’s also one more thing."

Ling Yue Group said indifferently: "Did you not notice, Shan’er became much more cheerful after staying with Ye Mo?"

"Are you saying Shan’er likes that Ye Mo?"

Madam Ling showed surprise.

"It shouldn’t be called liking, but at least there’s a favorable impression. There are many outstanding talents in the Immortal Spirit City, like Lin Yonghao from the Lin Clan, now he’s reached the Upper Immortal level and has comprehended two types of laws. Like Long Tianxiao from the Long Family, not only has he reached the Upper Immortal level, but he has also comprehended three types of laws. Didn’t they spend a lot of effort in front of Shan’er? Did Shan’er ever give them a good face?"

Ling Yue Group couldn’t help but shake his head bitterly and smile.

"Even so, what does it matter? Blame it on him being just a boy who ascended from the secular world. No matter how strong his talent, he and Xuanyuan Ze are worlds apart."

Madam Ling consoled herself internally.

"City Lord, Madam, Master Mu is visiting!"

At this moment, the housekeeper ran in hurriedly.

"What? Master Mu?"

Ling Yue Group immediately stood up and said, "Quickly invite him; no, I will greet him personally."

Ling Yue Group left the main hall of the City Lord’s mansion and went to the entrance of the mansion, where he saw an old man coming, followed by a young man standing up.

The old man was, of course, Master Mu Qingmu, a Third Rank Celestial Talisman Master. As for the young man behind him, it was Yuan Li.

"Master Mu, please come in!"

Mu Qing was a well-known Celestial Talisman Master in the Immortal Spirit City, and his sealing skill had reached the peak of the third rank. The Immortal Talismans he made were auctioned at the auction house, and they were always the target of competition from various great families.

Moreover, Mu Qing was also a member of the Immortal Talisman Corps established by the Commandery Princess, with high status.

Ling Yue Group led Mu Qing and Yuan Li to the hall, while Madam Ling had already instructed the servant girl to prepare the tea.

"Master Mu, why have you visited today? Is it due to the Second Prince’s matter?"

Ling Yue Group asked with a smile.

"I don’t have much interaction with Xuanyuan Ze; today I’m here to find someone."

Mu Qing said.

"Find someone?"

"I want to know if your City Lord’s mansion has a young man who appears to be from the secular world?"

Mu Qing couldn’t help but ask.

"Master Mu, are you looking for Ye Mo?"

Other than Ye Mo, who has ascended from the secular world, could there be anyone else? Did Ye Mo provoke Master Mu?

"So he’s called Ye Mo? Where is he now? Could you tell me?"

Mu Qing’s slightly cloudy eyes suddenly shimmered with a sliver of brilliance.

"Master Mu, to be honest, just before you came here, Ye Mo had already left our City Lord’s mansion, but he should still be in the Immortal Spirit City."

Ling Yue Group said truthfully.

"Master Mu, what’s the matter with Ye Mo? Why did you trouble yourself to come to our City Lord’s mansion to search for him? If he’s done something wrong, our City Lord’s mansion can directly apprehend him."

Madam Ling said.

In general, Immortal Spirit City has its own rules. Although Immortal Spirit City might not be considered a major city, it is among the smallest cities, but if anything happens in the Immortal Spirit City, the Immortal Spirit Army has the authority to apprehend the perpetrator; in severe cases, they are directly sent to the Zongren House.

"He hasn’t done anything wrong; he is a seal technique genius that is hard to encounter even once in ten thousand years. I wanted to consult him on the seal technique. Well, no matter, since he’s not in your City Lord’s mansion, I won’t disturb you anymore."

Mu Qing didn’t drink his tea and immediately left the City Lord’s mansion.

Madam Ling’s expression froze there, unable to recover for a long time: "Yue Group, what did Master Mu just say?"

"Master Mu intends to ask Ye Mo for advice on seal technique."

Ling Yue Group chuckled bitterly: "No wonder he could so easily help Shan’er escape from the prison; turns out his seal technique has reached a very high level."

There are many Celestial Talisman Masters, and not just a little, but wanting to become an excellent Celestial Talisman Master is extremely difficult.

It’s not that your Celestial Talisman Master’s level is high that you are an excellent Celestial Talisman Master; it’s that the same talisman in someone else’s hand is like a grain of sand, but in your hand it turns into a pearl.
