rpasses his aptitude for cultivating the Dao." Jiang Qiyun chuckled softly."Will there be any ghosts leaking out""It happens often. If I catch them, I destroy them on the spot. If I can't catch them,..."Tang Yufen, what are you after Is it something that would scare me if it were made public At worst, I'll stop going to school and hide at home. If things get really bad, I'll go abroad. What can you threaten me with" I snorted coldly at her.

Tang Yufei raised an eyebrow and said, "I know I can't scare you. This society accepts everything now, but I'm afraid your family will be exposed... A traditional Chinese medicine family I think that's a cover-up, right Which TCM practitioner could be so low-key yet incredibly wealthy"

Humph...

Being in the yin and yang circle, the most feared thing is probably exposure.

If my family were exposed, who would those big clients and influential people dare to associate with my family

I'm afraid they might throw stones and crush my family. I just want to protect their privacy and secrets.

"Don't be too stingy either. I just discovered something and was out of curiosity, there's no ill intent—"

"Who knows what you're curious about! That's so random..." I pulled on my initial spirit, preparing to leave.

At that moment of turning, I felt like my eyes were playing tricks on me. Her expression seemed to change suddenly, revealing a strange smile.

I calmed myself down and looked again, she raised an eyebrow, her expression unchanged.

Could it be that I've been feeling anxious lately, making me paranoid

"I'm just curious where such a mysterious and handsome guy came from. Since you're not willing to say more, I guess I'll have to uncover it myself. It's pretty fun, maybe I can snag something too" She smiled with a hint of mystery.

Speaking of Tang Yufeng, her experience with the opposite sex is definitely much richer than mine. Just now, when those workers harassed her, touching her all over, she didn't scream or cry out. Instead, she remained calm and waited for an opportunity to escape.

Now he's acting like nothing happened and making jokes with me again.

I pulled the little spirit along two steps, then turned back for one last glance—half her face was stiff, and when she smiled, the corners of her mouth wouldn't quite reach her eyes.

"Your face... what's wrong" I asked cautiously.

She touched her cheek and smiled, explaining, “I just got two facial slimming injections. The stiff effect hasn't worn off yet, it will be fine in a couple of days.”

…It's really infuriating, running into someone with such thick skin and tenacity!

At this point, Chuling also felt something was wrong. She let me drag her away while shouting, “What does this woman want to do to the Shaman King! I thought she was a good person. Didn't she come to help transport disaster relief supplies She even said you were her good friend and told me that it wasn't safe to live alone outside and that I could stay at her place...”

“She's trying to get information from you! You're so naive, you've let her trick you into saying everything. Why else would I bring you home Miss Chūlíng, please use your brain for once! This isn't Wúwáng Shān City, no one will cater to you here! Don't be so reckless and draw unwanted attention. There are too many people in this world who are fascinated by the unusual!” I scolded her.

She didn't really obey me, but surprisingly she didn't argue or complain. She just pouted and sulked her way back home with me.

At the front door, my ninth senior brother was seeing off Daozong. He gave me a smile and nodded at us both before leaving on his own.

" Ninth Senior Brother, why is this person here" I asked.

"The client... well, I think there was some sort of accident at a mine run by his family. The person in charge has been acting strange lately, probably because he's being haunted by vengeful spirits. That's why he came to seek our help." replied Ninth Senior Brother.

"Has Dad agreed yet"

"Of course, there's no problem agreeing. We are in business to open our doors... As long as it's not a very outlandish request, we basically agree to anything."

"I always feel that knife doesn't have good intentions. Don't let it trick my father again."

My father is an old scholar, he always has good intentions towards people and is easily taken advantage of. I'm a bit worried that he will be coaxed into staying somewhere again when he goes out.

When Mu Wanchen appeared in the evening, he had someone else following him. They stood under the gazebo in my courtyard.

The person had long hair casually draped over their back, tied loosely with a single band. At first glance, one might think they were a beautiful woman.

But that straight posture and height, he's definitely a man.

I stood by the window looking down. Mu Wanchen raised his head to signal me to come down. When I stood before this man, I saw that he was a handsome young man with an elegant ancient style.

"Little princess, my sister caused you trouble." He said with a gentle smile.

What Little sister

I didn't react immediately. Mu Wanchen spoke in a low voice, "This is Lianlong, Chuling's elder brother."

"Oh oh oh! I quickly nodded and said, "Long time no see! I'd heard of your great name when I first came to the Wuzhuang Mountain City, but you were too busy tending to the wounded to meet."

He smiled gently and nodded, "Yes, I received the medicine sent by the little princess, and I haven't had time to thank her."

"No, no need. I can't really help with anything." I awkwardly waved my hand.

My goodness, is this Chuling's older brother He's so gentle and warm, his demeanor is like jade. Could he really be the older brother of that fiery and quick-tempered young lady

Mu Wanchen seemed to have guessed my mind, softly snorted and said: "It's not the same as you, we were both spoiled by our elder brothers."

"...That elder sister of Chúlíng's is truly excessively doting, isn't she Chúlíng can be quite fierce and doesn't listen to advice at all." I rolled my eyes and complained to Lián Lóng.

Lianlong smiled and bowed to me: "The instruction from the little queen is that because my parents passed away early, my elder brother is like a father. It's inevitable to be spoiled, she isn't a bad person, just her actions are inappropriate. I will discipline her strictly in the future."

"If I don't discipline her, she'll be used by others to harm me." I said resentfully.

Lian Long's face was a touch of helplessness, perhaps there were few people in the Witch King City like me who didn't give any face. In fact, I had already spoken quite politely.

"I'll take her back and have her reflect on her actions, so she doesn't run out again." Lianlong said.

Lienlong walked out of the courtyard, and Mu Wanchen pulled me back into the room, whispering, “Just now I took Lienlong to visit your father. He seems to be leaving again”

"That's exactly right! That Daozong said someone in his family was possessed, and asked my father to take a look. I worry my dad will jump into another pit… He just got back!" I said huffily.

Mú Wǎnchén slightly frowned: “If he insists on going, then you should go with him.”

"Huh" I was taken aback. Let me go with my father Wouldn't he think I'm holding him back

"As long as you're by his side, I can appear immediately and help solve any problems instantly," Mu Wanchen explained.

"Oh~~ My son-in-law is half my blood, the great Shaman King hasn't even gotten married yet, and he's already showing such filial piety to his future father-in-law Not bad, not bad." I reached out and lifted his chin, adopting a teasing demeanor as if flirting with a woman.

Mu Wanchen sneered: "Don't joke around, I'm worried that your father will have some problem and you'll use it as an excuse to delay the wedding!"

"...."hand to cut me off: "Are you closely connected with the Lin family""...Miss Lin often comes to play, I don't often see Lin Yanhuan, but this time he also helped a lot, and even helped us deal with the...
