was about to leave when I heard this, so I turned back to take a look.Inside the intricately carved wooden box, there was something sticky and black in color. When rubbed against my hand, it turned a...In just a few short minutes, I got the feeling that this Mrs. Mu was not someone to be trifled with.

Only Master Yun Fan, a shrewd and cunning man, could manage her.

She sat beside me at the Eight Immortals table, our heads close together. I watched her dial a phone number, and after a few rings, it connected.

Oddly enough, no one spoke when I answered.

Mrs. Mu made a shushing gesture to me and put the phone on speakerphone.

That must be Master Yun Fan over there. This couple is very in sync. After the call connects, they both stay silent.

I heard the sound of my phone being placed on a chair, then I heard the voice of my senior brother Jun.

"Master Mu, having arrived before nightfall, I apologize for any disrespect. Please do not take offense."

Yun Fan's master smiled and said, "No need to be polite. It's unavoidable to disturb you at this late hour. I brought my family back from the Imperial City and stopped here on the way. I presume Brother Jun knows what kind of people my family is. They would attract attention during the day, so it's safer to visit at night."

"... as long as Master Mu doesn't mind that we didn't have a proper welcoming ceremony."

After a few polite exchanges, Master Yun Fan suddenly smiled and said, “Have I interrupted your discussion If it’s inconvenient, please allow me to borrow a room for the night. We can continue our conversation tomorrow.”

"Hm I wanted you to interrupt! How are you going to retreat"

I was a little confused. Madam Mu gestured to me and mouthed: "Retreat to advance!"

My senior brother is a rather traditional person. He adheres to all the finest qualities of a first disciple, an elder brother, and even a successor.

For a heavyweight figure like Master Yunfan, he definitely tried his best to show respect.

He shook his head immediately and said, "No, there's nothing to hide. Mr. Mu is here because of my little sister's matter. Coincidentally, my little sister also mentioned Master Mu before. As her elder brother, I have many things I want to ask in detail. If Master Mu were here to answer them, it would be even better."

Yun Fan's master chuckled. "So formal... I hate dealing with people like you, but we should have something in common to talk about."

Then, Jun's senior brother hesitated for a moment: "How so"

"You and I are both elder brothers, perhaps you've heard some rumors about my younger sister Qiao. I understand the love an elder brother has for his sister." Master Yun Fan's words always carried a hint of a smile.

He seemed to be able to see through people's minds and find common ground with their emotions.

A few well-chosen words can soften someone's attitude.

The senior brother sighed softly: "I disagree."

My heart jumped.

“My little junior sister is my master’s prized pupil, a treasure that all of us, her brothers and sisters, have cherished since she was young. Although I often appear strict with her, saying that I will punish her, I would never truly harm her.”

"Jade Sister, Little Sister, she is the jewel of our family. She does not wish to be tainted by worldly affairs, nor to be covered in dust, nor to endure wind and rain, nor to marry far away."

"But even if I don't want to, I can't go against her wishes. Am I powerless to stop this I don't have the right to control her… I can only try to find out more, to be afraid that she will meet someone unsuitable."

My senior brother's words made my nose sting. It is said that elder brothers are like fathers, and he loved us even more than our father.

I hadn't even had time to blow my nose when Madam Mu, with her sharp eyes and quick reflexes, pulled out a tissue and handed it to me, signaling me to stay quiet.

Yun Fan, the master, let out a few low "tsk tsk" sounds and sighed with a smile: "Men are truly not easy. Marrying a daughter is like cutting one's heart once, and marrying a daughter again is like cutting one's heart twice."

He paused for a moment, then smiled: “But you can rest assured, Mu Wanchen is no ordinary person. He won't do foolish things. Cultivators are strict with themselves, and besides, he has a master looking after him - his master is a devoted husband who dotes on his wife, so his disciples naturally wouldn't be any different. And Xia Qiao is watching over Xiao Yinluo in Nanshan, so how could he possibly treat her badly”

"South Mountain" Jun Shixiong asked in confusion, "Where is that"

Mu Wanchen replied faintly, "In my school of thought, ordinary people can't enter... If Yin Luo marries out, and then I bring you in to see."

"Pff...cough cough cough..." Yun Fan, the master, took a mouthful of tea: "Come on, Great Shaman King, you've never been willing to let outsiders in before..."

"Once Yinluo is married, she is no longer an outsider." Mu Wanchen's voice was calm.

He paused for a moment, then continued, "As for the dowry, you can ask for anything you like, as much as you like. If she doesn't want to leave home, that's fine too. But we need to choose an auspicious day for the wedding. A proper name and order are important; it's not beneficial for her otherwise."

“Let me add something,” Master Yunfan chimed in. “What the Great Shaman King means is that Little Yin Luo is destined to be his queen, and there will never be anyone else. Besides, raising the venomous female worm on her body does require some ‘special’ methods. And she being the second miss of the Yin family, their relationship isn’t proper. It would damage her reputation, and in the end, it would be her who suffers… Not to mention that there are still dangerous figures eyeing her.”

"Master brother, isn't happy and said: 'Yes, I also want to ask clearly about this matter, why would there be inexplicable people attacking the younger sister'

"

Master Yun Fan gave a simple explanation, saying that he had been dealing with an organization in Southeast Asia for the past two years. This organization trafficked and resold artifacts, including many cursed objects, and employed many sorcerers of evil cults.

The Taoist priest's pursuit of witchcraft is very greedy. If I stayed in society, I would inevitably be targeted by them.

"Sighs the senior brother, "These are just trivial matters. I wouldn't bother if they didn't affect my family. All that matters is whether the junior sister is willing. If she is... then let her be. We'll wait for Master to return and report the situation. Let Master decide."

"Well then, Mu... Wanchen," Jun shidi said. "Since Little Apprentice Sister's predicament is because of you, then her safety—"

"Of course, I'd protect her myself." Mu Wanchen said in a deep voice.

"Oh my, that's so cheesy... Hmm, what came into the yard" Yun Fan Shi Bo suddenly said.

"My messenger." Mu Wanchen said, pushing his chair away, as if walking out of the room.

Messenger His messengers are often spiritual animals like hawks and owls, who fly to our homes

I also got up and wanted to push open the window to take a look. Just as I stood up, I heard Jun Shixiong's low voice coming from my phone —

"Master Mu, although I don't have a deep relationship with you, I still want to ask: did Mu Wanchen put something on my junior sister"

Besides that female Gu, are there any other Gu that can manipulate minds and sow discord I find it hard to believe that the descendants of Ling Shan's Ten Witches still exist in the world, nor do I believe the stories about the Divine King—

"I only care about my little sister... Was she bewitched by him!"us to Bihai Manor within 24 hours. That means Bihai Manor is a few hours' drive from the coast. In those few hours, how far can you drive on normal roads" Brother Long asked me.If it were a normal ro...
