tly beside me. The strong wind and swirling clouds whipped his sleeves, making it seem like he could take off into the sky at any moment.I reached out and grabbed his sleeve. He lowered his eyes to lo...Hearing that roar, I froze for two seconds. The stern-looking bigwig walked up to me and glared.

The air was so intimidating that even Master Huiqing almost forgot he was a true monk. He reached out to pull me behind him to hide.

Luckily, he remembered what kind of place this was; not just anyone could appear here.

He immediately bowed and replied, "General, we are here for a meeting..."

"A meeting" The big shot glanced at Huiqing monk, then fixed his eyes on me and said, "You're here for the meeting too"

The young soldiers behind the bigwig immediately reminded him in a low voice that there were several meetings here today.

I swallowed nervously. I figured it out!

I have met this big shot more than once!

Shao Yihang asked us to handle Lao Qi's family affairs. Lao Qi's family lives in a high-end apartment building, with only two units per floor. The unit across from theirs belongs to this elderly person!

He has scolded us twice already! This is the third time now!

My god... sure enough, the Imperial Capital hides dragons and tigers, any random big shot is probably a real "big shot".

No wonder Jiang Qiyun said he had a heavy killing aura, with three stars on his shoulders, it wouldn't be strange if he didn't!

"You... hello..." I stammered for a long time, finally squeezing out a greeting.

He frowned and glared at me, giving a signal to the young soldiers behind him. One of them immediately took Huiqing monk aside.

"Come with me." the big shot said to me.

I honestly followed him to the side. He whispered, “You’re so young, you’re actually here for this level of meeting I thought you were just a bunch of mischievous youngsters.”

"We didn't come here out of mischief, we were actually introduced by a friend to handle some business... I saw the willow branches hanging on your front door and thought it must be some kind of spiritual place, I never expected you to be..." I replied nervously.

He frowned and said, "That's not my home, it's my daughter's son-in-law's house."

Oh...

"I just heard about this, so I went to live at my daughter's place." He looked serious: "I don't believe any demons or ghosts dare to show up here, hmph!"

As the saying goes, even ghosts are afraid of wicked people, and that's absolutely true.

Especially someone like him, who wears the national emblem, exudes officialdom, ferocity, righteousness, and has great courage.

A newcomer encountering such a person might just be so overwhelmed that they run for the hills.

"You can rest assured, it's been dealt with there and won't happen again. If you're still feeling uneasy, moving might be a better option." I honestly suggested.

Although the house is expensive, if you are constantly on edge and suspicious, it will affect the stability and harmony of your family and be detrimental to both your mental and physical health.

He narrowed his eyes and looked at me: "You are the two children from the Mu family that's the legend, aren't you"

"...My name is Mu Xia Qiao, you've also met my brother, Mu Yun Fan."

"You two siblings are quite impressive. You have a good relationship with the Lin family, one of you is a special advisor and the other... is going to be the son-in-law of the Lin family, right" The big shot chuckled coldly: "I really misjudged you. I thought you were some kind of strange man or woman, but it turns out you are capable people."

I ignored the disdain in his words and nodded, saying, "Thank you for the compliment."

He frowned: "Who praised you!"

"I'll just take it as a compliment."

He had a somewhat eccentric temper. Seeing my feigning ignorance, he smiled and said, "Although you cling to the powerful, you do have some ability. Was it also you who did things with Shao Yihang"

I nodded.

He narrowed his eyes and said, "......Oh, is that so."

"Just tell me what you need, and we'll do our best to help." I said honestly.

He narrowed his eyes and nodded. “Alright, I won’t stand on ceremony with you. Go to the meeting first, and I’ll get in touch with you later.”

I thought this big shot had some private matter he didn't want to make public and needed us to resolve it privately.

When I attend meetings, it's difficult for me to focus my attention. Instead, I forget to be nervous. When it's my turn to speak, I just stand up and recite the content I had memorized beforehand.

The principles inside were personally revised by Jiang Qiyun himself. After memorizing them, I realized the older predecessors in the room looked at me differently.

They probably know about me to some extent, whether they believe it or not.

This circle is so real yet unreal.

Reality and illusion are intertwined, these people within this circle reside in the mundane yet have aspirations beyond.

Live in the present, seek the right path.

I rushed back home, and my brother and father were discussing what to do next.

I hurriedly said, “Don't discuss it anymore, we can't leave for a while! Brother, I met another big shot today—”

"What big shot" my brother asked.

He came out of his dad's room, and we went back to the living room to talk.

"That old man! It's Minister XX! Holy crap!" My brother exclaimed, his eyes wide with surprise.

"I saw with my own eyes that he had a huge patch on his chest, and three stars on his shoulders!" I exclaimed, gesturing excitedly. "He also said he had something to find us."

"No way... What could a big shot like this want with us Could it be something illegal"

Suddenly, a serious voice rang out from outside the door: “Of course not!”

Pffft!!

The big shot is here!

The guardman opened the curtains, and a man in plain clothes walked in. He looked around the house and said, "Not bad, this place. It's small, but priceless."

"You... please sit down." My brother's lips twitched.

"Sir, how should we address you" My brother gestured for me to pour tea.

The big shot stared at my brother and said, "Just call me Grandpa! After you become the son-in-law of the Lin family, you have to call me Grandpa!"

Ahem...

"Lao Lin is younger than me. When he enlisted, I was his platoon leader!" the big shot said proudly.

“Well… Sir, is there anything you need us to do As long as it’s within our capabilities, we won’t refuse.” My brother knows that with this big shot coming to our door, there’s no way out of this.

The old man took a sip of tea and said calmly, "It's not a big deal... I want to ask you, do 'summoning souls' and 'delivering souls' really exist"

We were all secretly startled. My brother twitched the corner of his mouth and said, “It depends on where the ghost is. If you want us to summon a martial saint like Guan Yu for you, then it definitely doesn’t exist!”

Pff…

The old man said calmly, “I have some comrades who died in battle thirty or forty years ago. I don't know if they have found peace. Every time I stand before the monument to martyrs, I think about this.”

"I didn't believe in ghosts and spirits before, but now that I'm older and have seen you handle them..."

My brother couldn't help but ask, "How did you see it with your own eyes"

"My daughter's house has surveillance outside, and I've seen several times the elevator opening and closing with no one going in or out. I can't help but not believe it."

My brother hesitated a little and said, "It's been many years since the last time we performed the ceremony. I don't know if it will work..."

The old man slammed his teacup down and said bluntly, "Boy, I know about you and Old Lin's daughter. If you can help me with this, I'll come to your door to propose marriage! Hmph, he'll have to give this old leader some face!"

I widened my eyes, this is——

Hey there! took, I followed with two of my own. I trailed him all the way to the lake."Don't come any closer." Mu Wanchen frowned."Why""This is not the world you are accustomed to living in. Perhaps there are...
