well, he thought I had lost the mark he gave me. He was so harsh and impatient with me. Until now, as our relationship deepened and I got to know him better, I realized that not only does he have gre..."Wait." I called after her.

She tilted her head slightly to look at me.

Three requirements: First, you must personally return the card and cannot have another disciple do it for you.

Shen Qingrui frowned even more.

If she doesn't refute, then that's acquiescence. I'm too lazy to argue with her.

Second, bring your magical artifacts.

"Huh" She was a little puzzled. Did you need to bring a magical artifact to give someone a bank card

"It's highly likely that Master Zondao is going to check out the Mirage Pearl. Try to persuade him to come back and not take such a risk. You should also be prepared for anything." I explained.

She lowered her head and glanced at the envelope, her eyes narrowed slightly as she understood the true meaning behind my request to have her deliver it—to "rescue" Master Zong.

"What about the third one" she asked proactively.

"Third, and most importantly, you are forbidden from entering the location of the Illusory Pearl. You are not allowed to go into that underground maze."

"Are you going I'm not allowed to go," she asked arrogantly.

"... This is an order, strictly forbidden for the Shen family disciples to enter. A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, don't be foolish... I'm worried you won't be able to cope." I was a little worried inside, Chong Mo had said that Shen Qingrui was a good prey.

But among the younger generation of the Shen family, only Shen Qingrui is the most capable. Besides her, I wouldn't trust anyone else to do the job.

Shen Qingrui was taken aback for a moment, seeming a little amused: "Are you worried about me"

"Well then In my eyes, you are a disciple of the Shen family, and one of the best among them. Old Madam Shen entrusted this family to me, and I have to take care of her disciples." I said with a frown.

Doesn't she think I would wear small shoes for her

"I see." She turned and went out.

The manager behind me let out a relieved sigh.

"Master, after you took over the position of head from Madam Shen, everyone in the family was worried that you and Qingrui wouldn't get along. Unexpectedly, you are so magnanimous, and she also knows her place..."

"Although she has a bad temper, her contributions to the Shen family are undeniable. I'm not blind to that."

Since being taught a lesson a few years ago, Shen Qingrui had retreated from the world and rarely mentioned Jiang Qiyun's name again.

It's best not to overthink things, it's easy to get caught up in delusions. I see she's woken up, so I won't hold a grudge against her.

I arranged for several disciples to meet us. I lowered my head and opened the file that my nephew had given me. My nephew must be anxious too.

A vicious crime occurred in the neighboring city, and due to its severity, it was immediately reported to my uncle's side.

I've gone through the materials. If Master Zong hadn't visited yesterday, I should have set off yesterday.

My uncle's help is a must. Firstly, he is a member of the Mu family. Although he rarely interacts with the Mu family due to his status, he has helped me and my brother quite a bit privately.

Furthermore... our youngest brother, Old Chen, is still in the station. We have to find a way to get him out.

I first called my brother, and he said he was on his way to find someone to fish out Old Chen. He had to take care of something first, then drive over to meet me.

This matter doesn't seem too difficult, I can just have two disciples from the Shen family go with me.

After much deliberation, I couldn't bring myself to leave Chong Mo, this ticking time bomb, at home.

I came to the back courtyard, where Chongmo had been moved to another room and was commanding people around like a big shot.

As soon as I stepped inside, the effect of the talismans had already begun to weaken.

Jiang Qiyun said that the talisman's effect would disappear in three to five days, but after only two days, he was able to walk on his own.

Just so, follow me.

"Huh You want to take me with you" Chongmo looked at me in bewilderment.

"What Living in the Shen household is too comfortable, with food and drink, plus a little girl to bully at will. You don't want to leave, do you" I looked at Chen Yan, who was responsible for delivering the meals. She still had to deliver meals to the old boy from the Yan family. Every time this girl delivered meals, she would be bullied.

The old boy from the Yan family is still not clear-headed and rambles when asked questions. I can only wait and see for now.

"Hmph... Just say if you want my help." Chong Mo's eyes looked down upon him.

"Oh Is that so" I looked at him coldly, "I saw you tied up like a pig... If you don't cooperate honestly, next time I see Yin Su Bai, I'll describe the scene of saving you to him and take credit for it"

Chong Mo's figure stiffened.

...cares too much about face.

I muttered to myself, all the while watching Chong Mo who was sitting in the passenger seat.

I put his arm back on and changed his clothes.

He can only move his limbs now, and he's very sluggish. He feels like taking an old man out for a walk.

Never mind, just finish things up and come back soon.

A murder took place in a rented apartment in the neighboring city. A neighbor smelled a foul odor similar to that of sewage coming from the apartment.

At first, I thought it was the power outage in the area a couple of days ago that caused some food to spoil and be thrown away, so there was a foul smell.

Later, after the garbage was cleared away, the smell became even stronger.

Door-to-door inquiries revealed that apartments with 2-4 rooms had the strongest odor.

For several days, we couldn't get through the door of 2-4. People around started to panic. After contacting the landlord, with the landlord present, they pried open the window railing, broke the glass, and entered through the window to open the door.

The room was a little messy and smelled bad.

The bold man who opened the door stood trembling at the threshold, looking down at a large puddle of unidentified liquid on the ground.

This liquid is flowing out from the kitchen balcony, no one dares to go in. They are watching from the edge of the doors and windows, vaguely seeing the refrigerator door open.

Several large black plastic bags were placed inside.

The arriving police were also taken aback. Inside those black plastic bags were body parts, which should have been placed in the refrigerator after the murder.

I don't know how many days it was, and then because of electrical repairs, the area had to be without power for most of the day every day.

The corpse was rotting, and the frost in the refrigerator melted with blood, eventually causing the body to swell… until it finally burst open the fridge door —

Hmm.

I heard a swallow.

The sound startled me, I turned my head to look at Chongmo, he was staring straight at me.

"What happened next What happened next" He was so engrossed in the ghost story that he even looked nervous.

"... You're the one who's a walking corpse, are you embarrassed to be this nervous!" I speechless turned my head and continued driving.

"I'm a cultivator with magic skills! But this dismembered mortal corpse, can it actually open the door itself!" Chong Mo was clearly very interested.

I'm dumbfounded—this guy clearly has no idea what a refrigerator is.

In a typical small rental apartment, the refrigerator would likely be an old-fashioned top-and-bottom two-door model.

How could this refrigerator possibly fit an adult They must have dismembered the person to squeeze them in, and then barely managed to close the door.

With repeated power outages, the frost and blood inside melted, seeping into the cracks and then freezing again, melting again. This caused the refrigerator door to loosen a little by little, until finally it was pried open by the expanding corpse.

After hearing my explanation, Chong Mo was surprisingly excited: "This is so interesting..."

OMG, a dismemberment case, interesting

"Are you a child Do you still find scary things interesting!" I retorted, shaking my head.

"What Look down on me because I'm young! I'm the city lord!"

"How old are you"

"Using your mortal way of counting, it's probably over six hundred, right"

"What do you mean 'approximately' You don't even know how old you are!"

“The dimensions are different! And the demon realm doesn’t care about these things. How am I supposed to calculate it!” Chong默 roared. “But…that evil spirit imp was alive when…I don’t have a very deep memory of him. So using human years, he wouldn’t be more than eight hundred years old, but according to the demon realm’s time, it would be over a thousand years”

Chongmo fell into a frantic space of the "birth year and age" calculation method.

"Never mind, never mind, whether you're six or eight years old, just sit still for me! I should have let you sit in the back if I knew you were a child..."

No wonder Jiang Qiyun doesn't fight with you, and he doesn't even look at you. Even the binding curse is so loose.

This is just like adults bullying children!!ver surface, unable to move an inch.Mu Wanchen stood by Yinglong's side, its wings just now shielding me from the flying shards of broken wood.Yinglong, also called Huanglong, is the concubine of Dong...
