onversation in a different direction.Xiao Qiao nodded and poured tea for me and my father, saying, "Brother, if you're going out, I'll accompany you—"Before she could finish her words, the doorbell in...When I get nervous, my voice becomes unnatural and my eyes dart around.

An officer like Zheng, who deals with criminals every day, how could he not notice something amiss about me He almost immediately looked over his shoulder at me.

But Mu Wanchen was hiding inside the protective barrier. He couldn't see anything, but he could sense that my behavior was unnatural. Officer Zheng frowned deeply and said, "Miss Yin Luo, are you still hiding something from us"

I quickly nodded and said, "I wonder about that woman...could she be using the child as a cover-up Maybe she just wants to scam men out of their money..."

I'm not lying, I tricked the taxi driver into buying her jewelry. And she looks different, maybe she wore makeup or a disguise.

Officer Zheng nodded. "We'll investigate what you said... It's getting late now, I'll send you home"

"Don't!" I jumped up in fright.

Riding home in a police car I'd be locked up and beaten by my senior brothers and sisters!

Officer Zheng seemed to guess what I was thinking, and he smiled. “You kids always worry about getting your families involved when things go wrong. Don't worry, this is just an ordinary work vehicle, not a police car. If you don't let me take you home, I'll call your brother Jun to pick you up. After all, we know each other, and I want to make sure you're safe.”

I have a hard time putting it into words. Being stared down by Zheng Officer's righteous and sharp gaze, I am forced to choose between the police officer and my master, Jun.

Mu Wanchen gave me a slight nod and whispered, "Go back first and remember to talk less."

Okay… I followed Officer Zheng to their car and couldn't help but glance back at Mu Wanchen.

He disappeared into the night as soon as he saw me get in the car.

This guy, he never says anything specific.

My family has been rooted in this city since my ancestors. From its former status as a bustling hub to its current position as a thriving central metropolis, whether during times of peace and prosperity or amidst the chaos of war, the prominent families of this city have always had cordial relations with ours.

People eat five grains and miscellaneous grains, naturally there are three diseases and four pains. The powerful and wealthy people are even more careful about their lives. My family has also escaped several disasters because of practicing medicine and doing good deeds, as well as judging the times and seizing opportunities.

Sometimes wealth can be a curse, so Master Brother doesn't give us much pocket money or buy us expensive cars because he's afraid that showing off our money will attract bad people's attention.

I was sent home by plainclothes policemen because I didn't have a car.

After I got home, I tiptoed back to my room. Luckily, Xiao Hei (the cat) recognized me and just gave me a grunt before lying down without making a sound that could be heard throughout the whole house.

The key and address that the Tanlang little brother gave me, I put them in the drawer of my dressing table, planning to check them out when it gets light.

Before bed, I habitually glanced at my phone and saw a message from Tang Yufie. She must have heard about the driver's accident and was messaging me to ask what I knew.

I blurted out a random answer. Seeing that he didn't seem to be in good spirits, I wanted to remind him not to get lost in the allure of beauty and turned off my phone.

Before things ended badly with Tang Yufeng, I started to feel that she was a realistic and shrewd person and that I shouldn't interact with her too much.

Having grown up so large, always in a caring and loving environment, now that I have a secret, I want to cut off the probing eyes of the outside world. I would rather live a solitary life.

So Mu Wanchen doesn't like to tell me too much, does he His heart is filled with so many things, he probably doesn't even know where to begin.

Lately, my sleep has been particularly light. Perhaps my mind is flooded with too many things at once, some of which I haven't fully processed.

The next morning, as soon as I got up, I saw Jun Shidi sitting on the mat outside reading a book.

He was waiting for me.

There's no escaping either way, might as well just come clean.

I hesitated, stepping out from behind the screen and calling out in a low voice, "Shixiong..."

"Master brother," said the man, raising his head and furrowing his brow slightly. "You look like a bird's nest slept on! Where is the elegance of a young lady Go wash up quickly, I waited an hour, I won't mind these few minutes."

Well... you wouldn't wake me up, would you Just sit outside and read while you wait!

Actually, your senior brother is the real power behind the scenes at home. He has to be informed about everything, big or small. He puts in a lot of time and effort to fulfill his duties as the "chief disciple".

We all respect and trust him. It's too tiring to hide things from him. It might be easier to just be honest with him. Maybe it will make going out easier in the future.

I'll start with my car being smashed by a rock. I encountered a jerk from the Si clan, and then Mu Wanchen saved me. Afterward, I was implanted with a female gu worm. Everything that happened after that, including every person I met, is detailed.

Tell the truth, and there will be no flaws.

My senior brother listened silently as I finished speaking. His face wasn't good, but he didn't get angry or question me about what happened when I spent two nights with a man.

"...Senior brother, I'm not lying. That's all that happened." I looked at him nervously.

He let out a cold breath and said in a low voice, “Since you can say the names Mu Xia Qiao and Mu Yun Fan, you're not lying to me.”

"Huh"

"Do you know who these two are"

I shook my head. "I've only ever met Mu Xia Qiao, and I called her Mistress along with Mu Wanchen..."

Junior Brother squinted at me.

I'm a bit embarrassed, as if I were facing my father and confessing that I'm very close to a man.

"Mu Xia Qiao is the head of the Shen family and a special advisor, but she has been in and out of sight recently; as for Mu Yun Fan...in this circle, I estimate no one doesn't know his name. The two are low-key, but their reputation is huge, and they have a good reputation for doing things." Jun Shidi introduced to me.

"Well, I think they're pretty good people, not bad people..."

"Can you tell the difference between good and bad people You almost got kidnapped by a bad person just stepping out the door!" Junior Brother Jun snorted coldly.

I quickly shut my mouth and kept silent.

"Where is the female gu" Jun shidi asked, frowning.

I lifted my T-shirt, exposing a tiny bit of my stomach, and pointed to the small pearl shaped like a half-circle. "Here... It's usually fine, but if it's unhappy, I get a stomachache..."

Master brother frowned deeply: "How do you know there's nothing amiss Are there even benevolent poisons in the world Even if they exist, haven't they been cultivated for many years How does Mu Wanchen know it won't be harmful to the body You believe everything he says"

“Well...what can we do if we don't believe it...it's already like this…” I muttered to myself, being very realistic.

"Jun, your senior brother let out a long sigh and frowned. "All in all, let's wait until Master returns before discussing anything further. Tomorrow, I will take Yue, my junior sister, along with two other junior brothers and sisters to Hong Kong to see what the situation is like there."

"Hmm."

"You…" Jun Shidi hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said, "If I had known earlier, I would have taken you with me. That way, I wouldn't have to worry about not seeing you."

"Hee hee… I don't have a permit…" I chuckled nervously scratching my head.

"My fellow disciple practically wanted to throttle me: 'That Great Shaman named Mu Wanchen, ask him to come meet me, I have something to say.'

"hild. I only glanced at the child from afar and didn't make direct contact. Just now, the child's soul came to my house…” I hurriedly explained.In the distance, a fellow student walked past the corrid...
