Chapter 491: Chapter 301 Do Things for You_2 Chapter 491: Chapter 301 Do Things for You_2 But thinking about it, it seemed reasonable; after all, residing in this not particularly spacious courtyard were some of the top three figures on the Wind Cloud List, figures of such high status that they were unimaginable to her, and even in the Hehuan Sect, strict rules were inevitable.
…
In the hall.
Two young women, dressed in light yellow dresses and looking nearly identical—appearing to be only about seventeen or eighteen years old—quietly walked into the main hall, their behavior proper, their aura contained, without a hint of seduction or allure.
Upon entering, they immediately greeted Chen Mu with a bow.
“This humble girl greets Lord Chen.”
As the two women bowed, they spoke simultaneously, their voices as pleasant as silver bells overlapping almost as if from one person, indistinguishable as to who spoke first.
Chen Mu looked at the two young girls before him, who were politely bowing and behaving modestly with meticulous manners, yet his expression did not change, and he casually sipped tea from the cup on the table before saying, “What tricks are you playing this time?”
The person he was familiar with.
They were indeed the former authentic transmitters of the Hehuan Sect, Hua Nongyue and Hua Nongying, sisters who were no longer the direct transmitters of the Hehuan Sect but had now entered the Six Viscera Realm and were counted among the sect’s protectors.
He vaguely remembered the first time he met Hua Nongying; the Hehuan Sect had detained Chen Yue and Yu Ru and had him personally visit the Hehuan Sect’s premises in the Inner City to bring back Chen Yue and Yu Ru.
Since then, Hua Nongyue and Hua Nongying either came uninvited or behaved capriciously and coquettishly in his presence, but this time was quite different.
Not only did they properly submit a visiting card at the main gate, wearing neatly arranged garments, but before him they also completely reined in all flirtatiousness, were spotless without any trace of atmosphere scattering, and behaved modestly throughout.
This was not the style of the Hehuan Sect.

Or perhaps, did they think he would prefer this style, thus deliberately adopting such a manner?
However, now Chen Mu, regardless of his state of mind or status, was entirely different from the past.
No matter what appearance the sisters, Hua Nongyue and Hua Nongying, adopted, he always remained composed, his gaze undisturbed.
Although by age Hua Nongyue and Hua Nongying were his contemporaries, ever since he broke through the Mysterious Pass and achieved the status of Grandmaster, inexplicably his perspective changed; looking at Hua Nongyue and Hua Nongying, who had not yet stepped into the Marrow Cleansing Realm, felt like looking at juniors, and he no longer viewed them as contemporaries.
“Lord Chen, being one of the top three on the Wind Cloud List and a figure exceeding the grandmasters, how could this humble girl dare to play tricks in front of you?”
Hua Nongying raised her head and spoke sweetly to Chen Mu.
Although her voice was pleasant and charming, it indeed contained not a trace of allure, and her behavior was clean and restrained.
After a long time.
Seeing Chen Mu again, a complex expression flickered through Hua Nongying’s peach-blossom-shaped eyes.
During their first encounter in Yu County, Chen Mu had not yet entered the Five Viscera Realm.
Even though he had mastered the second step of Artistic Conception, in her eyes, he was merely an ‘Inner Sect Disciple’ of slightly noteworthy ability.
She had paid attention then, but it did not persistingly engage her mind.
Yet, in a short span, Chen Mu rose astonishingly, slayed the direct transmitters of the Mysterious Mechanism Pavilion, defeated Gu Hong of the Heavenly Sword Sect, later comprehended Qian Heaven, took charge of Qiankun, crowned the summit of Yunni Sky Peak, and defeated Zuo Qianqiu, the foremost among his contemporaries…
leading up to today, when he singlehandedly defeated three major Seventh Rank Demon Venerables and positioned himself among the top three of the Wind Cloud List!
Even though she had now stepped into the Six Viscera Realm, matching Chen Mu in the Body Tempering Realm, in terms of strength and status, the difference was like heaven and earth.
Even uniting her strength with her sister Hua Nongyue to harness the Power of Yin Yang, they were still far from touching the base of the Wind Cloud List.
Some elders of the Hehuan Sect, including Xia Yu’r and others, were still watching Chen Mu, but having contacted him back in Yu County, even to this day, she had a vague feeling that if there were one born with the Heavenly Mandate amid chaotic times, it might well be the Chen Mu before her eyes.
Even though he had only entered the Six Viscera Realm a few years ago, even though he had once fallen victim to plots from the Mysterious Mechanism Pavilion, she still felt…
these might not hinder the rise of Chen Mu.
Such is the man of Heavenly Mandate.
Although the Hehuan Sect was different from the Mysterious Mechanism Pavilion, they also regarded the Heavenly Mandate, inherently perceiving the situation was part of their nature, and clinging to the powerful had always been one of their survival tactics, which was why, even when the Da Xuan Dynasty Court was at its peak, they could still exist in the world.
However, grasping the Heavenly Mandate was difficult; who could see clearly the fortunes of the world?
Even the Mysterious Mechanism Pavilion could not achieve this, and now with Chen Mu, a once-in-a-century Qiankun martial artist in the Cold North Path, other Taoist Prefectures also have theirs, including in the Central Prefecture where the Jingji Road is located.
In this.
Who might achieve Grandmaster status?
And who has the chance to break through that one boundary, to become the first Qiankun Martial Saint since the founding of the Da Xuan Nation a thousand years ago?
No one could state clearly.
“You still have tricks you dare not play?”
Chen Mu glanced at Hua Nongying, suddenly laughed, and although this mannerly and proper behavior had a sense of contrast, it felt somewhat contradictory to the typical style of the Hehuan Sect.
Without waiting for Hua Nongying to respond, his gaze passed over the two women, and he said casually, “Out with it, what is it that you want?”
Hua Nongyue had been quietly observing Chen Mu; upon hearing his words, she exchanged looks with her sister Hua Nongying, then softly said to Chen Mu, “We have no particular matter, this visit was merely in the hope of being of service to you.”
“Be of service to me?”
