MTLNOVEL Chapter 319: Show of Strength, Dimensional Strike
The banquet continued.
"Mr. Cao."
One representative after another came up to Meng Yu, showing him various gestures of goodwill.
Everyone knew that whether it was Xiao Jun or Meng Yu standing before them, he was now poor. When he arrived at the Blood God Sect, he even needed Ouyang Zhen Xue's help to find money.
Everyone lacked spirit stones, but when it came to capital, nobody was really short of that.
"Mr. Cao, with such a large piece of land, how do you plan to manage it?"
"I have several capable people you could use."
"Many facilities need to be updated; don't worry about the finances, Mr. Cao."
Of course, those who came today weren't just investors in magical treasures. There were also many powers from various fields, including some who came just to see Xiao Jun become a laughing stock.
In this world, there's always no shortage of fools. Xiao Jun appeared mysteriously at the Blood God Sect, and after a series of twists and turns, some speculated whether this person could actually be a relative of the Evil God, playing everyone for fools, or perhaps, staging a deception to draw the Evil God's attention.
"No need for money; thanks to some friends' gifts a few days ago, I still have a little left. As for the neighborhood's maintenance, I'll get started as soon as possible."
Xiao Jun chatted with everyone with a smile, while some looked on disdainfully.
Everyone knew exactly how much money Xiao Jun had in his bank account. What could you do with so little money?
The neighborhood was like an Abyssal Cave. It was normal for people to take away formation diagrams and facilities when they left, with some even taking the grass and plants, leaving the cave dwellings and villas empty. Without properly handling the spiritual energy, many problems could arise.
It was a huge hole needing to be filled with countless materials.
"Thank you, everyone."
...
After a trip to Sleepless City and then returning, Meng Yu's residence quietly gained three Golden Core masters, a fact nobody knew about.
After the guests had left, Meng Yu began to get busy.
The four of them worked from the afternoon until the next morning. When Fairy Taohua saw the sky turning the color of a fish's belly, she knew another all-nighter had passed.
She smiled helplessly.
She had thought that Meng Yu would make a grand entrance with the three of them at the banquet, dazzling everyone and declaring his return with company!
But instead, Meng Yu continued to stay low-key.
The three Golden Core masters returned silently, without a whisper of wind, without any desire for public glory or to show off in various ways.
The public glory referred to Meng Yu. Just think, if Meng Yu suddenly disappeared during the climax of the banquet and then reappeared with Hua Miaochai and Master Lihua, what a shock it would be for everyone at the Blood God Sect.
How many young people could resist such a temptation?
She glanced at Meng Yu, who was still using Xiao Jun's appearance!
The man greeted everyone and then went off to work with Hua Miaochai.
"It's good this way; his caution actually makes it safer."
Master Lihua felt that Meng Yu was doing the right thing.
"But, is this really good?"
Fairy Taohua suddenly smiled, pinched a soft yet resilient part of Master Lihua and said, "If he keeps this up, you'll have no hope at all."
"What are you talking about?"
Master Lihua turned away, looking annoyed... She didn't want to deal with this jerk.
The light danced in Fairy Taohua's eyes.
Even among sisters from the same sect who strived for their master's attention, trying every means to win his favor when he still saw everyone as daughters and was selflessly devoted, the "duck" could fly away at any moment!

Inside the neighborhood. Read chapters at My Virtual Library Empire
Xia Hailu had been as busy as a dog recently, like the previous day when so many Golden Core masters came to visit Xiao Jun, security wore her out to the point of sticking out her tongue, and now, she had even more concerns about future security.
The Blood God Sect handed over the entire neighborhood to Xiao Jun, a boon but also a great burden.
The community was large, equivalent in size to a major city, with over fifty Golden Core's cave dwellings, plus hundreds of Foundation Establishment courtyards.
There were all sorts of spirit wood, running water, and roads in the middle of the community. Before, to maintain these, a team of more than 300 people worked day and night, on top of the community's original guards, bodyguards, and the force of Golden Core masters, just to ensure the daily operation.
In a world where even banks get robbed, what's to stop someone from targeting the small community controlled by a Foundation Establishment, even if it was Meng Yu's? Just because it's Meng Yu, does that mean no one could break in to steal and make a fortune?
And surely, there must be some Golden Core with ulterior motives who wanted to capture Xiao Jun!
Xia Hailu, a Golden Core master also serving as the neighborhood property manager, looked troubled.
The Blood God Sect seemed generous, but in reality, they had dug a deep pit for Xiao Jun. He had to find money, and many problems couldn't be solved with just money but required exchanges of benefits, further entangling both parties.
Xia Hailu did not like that.
Moreover, the banquet last night was nice, bringing everyone closer, but Xia Hailu still felt like she missed something. Xiao Jun that bastard was beaming at the end of the party.
It was as if he came back from a vacation with a venture capital deal in hand.
Huh?
In the Water Mirror, that scoundrel Xiao Jun actually left his house and was wandering around the neighborhood?
Xiao Jun was notoriously cautious about his personal safety, insisting on not leaving the villa's array before, and even after moving into the cave dwelling, he didn't go out carelessly and stayed in a cave protected by a Third Grade Formation Array. What wind blew him out today?
