personality, no one has ever pursued her.As the head of the household, I naturally have to put on airs. Not just anyone can see me. Only those from well-known families or respected senior Taoist mast...Their way of interacting is perplexing. I'd categorize their relationship as something like a "goddess" and her "dog licking her feet."

Liu Feifei looks great, but her personality is terrible. Yet, that fat guy seems to love it.

"You're definitely not an ordinary forest ranger!" Liu Feifei angrily gathered her clothes and walked in front of me. "I said, what kind of forest ranger would know the secret of closed-door observation..."

"You're not an ordinary thrill seeker," I said coolly. "You have ulterior motives, someone pulling the strings behind you."

Liu Feifei was taken aback, her crimson lips curling into a sneer: "So what I earn my own money, what's it to you Don't think that because you know a little bit of magic you think you're something special. I have my master's blessing, I'm destined for great fortune."

You talking about life or death I raised an eyebrow slightly. Last time it wasn't me who was being nice, you two were probably buried under the tree roots by now.

"So you're here for the bounty too Looks like we're in the same line of work." Liu Feifei looked at my attire and sneered, "You're not after money either, pretending to be so high and mighty!"

"Who's with you... I don't feel like wasting my time talking to her. I pointed at the entrance of the abandoned quarry: "Aren't you here for a creepy livestream"

"Of course I'll livestream, such a good opportunity, so many fans are waiting to watch... A haunted operating room underground~~ This gimmick, my overseas fans will love it." She took out an LED makeup mirror and started applying makeup regardless of time or location.

I raised an eyebrow slightly. Dad said it was the descendant of our sworn enemy who had come knocking, bringing a so-called "commission".

This commission is more like a bounty, and it's rather rude, directly saying that the old grudges from the past have been inherited by later generations, and asking his father to investigate.

My dad, that old man, gets angry, sure, but he never makes a losing deal.

For this dubious "commission," accompanied by an invitation from his former arch-nemesis, he wasn't planning on taking action himself right away.

A son and daughter were right in front of him. Since these juniors came to seek revenge, it was natural to send their own juniors out to fight, so he wouldn't lower his status.

Moreover—

"Little Qiao, you don't need to give the other side face. Zheng Da Chuan has always been at odds with me. My first love was indirectly killed by him, and he even stole my wife!"

I'm really done with this old geezer…

He, at his age, still says it so righteously, that he's both first love and wife.

My dad's first love was truly pure. According to my dad, back then he was a little boy of ten or so, and a beautiful, cool, and kindhearted older sister made a deep impression on him.

Later on, I found out that this elder sister was a disciple of the Shen family. I wanted to pursue her, but I didn't dare to say anything—a middle school student saying they like someone I wouldn't even believe it myself.

This pure and beautiful infatuation only lasted for a short time, because when I saw this elder sister again, she was already in Itōka’s grave, separated by yin and yang.

Perhaps that woman never knew she was secretly liked by a young up-and-comer.

But my father wanted to investigate the cause of her death, so he met Shen Junqiao, the heir of the Shen family at the time—my mother.

“Zheng Daochuan was a senior disciple from Shen Family's inner sect back then. He had been secretly in love with your mother for a long time, hmph, acting like a righteous hero, which I hate the most! When I was with your mother, he tried every means to sabotage us! Later, because his obsession was too heavy, he went mad and even wanted to force himself on your mother. After being expelled from the mountain gate by Shen Family, no one knows where he went.”

"I secretly inquired many times, preparing to kill him, and as a result, I heard that he died of illness in a remote mountain village..."

Dad frowned here: "Anyone who lays a hand on my woman, I'd skin them alive! But... dead men tell no tales, and bygones are bygones. I didn't go looking for him anymore...mainly because back then, my mind was focused on your mother and the two of you siblings. I just let go of past grudges."

"I didn't expect this old geezer still had descendants..." Dad frowned and said, "Since it's a descendant coming for revenge, if I go myself it would be too undignified. Your brother isn't here right now, so Xiao Qiao, you'll have to go."

Of course, my dad's business is my business. Besides, this is a "commission," there's no reason not to take it.

The signature on the deed of assignment reads, "By Cheng Daochang's disciple, Moli."

This Mo Li doesn't sound like an ordinary person's name, perhaps it was given by a master.

The content of the power of attorney is this place, come here to talk.

At present, here, besides Liu Feifei and Zhang Fatty, I didn't see any living people.

I was afraid that You Nan would be scared sitting alone in the car, so I turned back and first carried You Nan out of the car to get some fresh air.

You Nan stood beside me, obediently clutching my skirt hem, her cold eyes surveying the surroundings. She said to me, "Mother, what place is this There's a wave of resentment…"

"It's not a great place, but the person we're meeting for lunch is here. You scared, Younan"

Younan snorted softly, "What's there to be afraid of..."

Okay, you are strong inside, but after all, your body is still a child. I have to protect you.

Thinking of this, I reached out and picked him up. When Liu Feifei, who followed us, saw this, she exclaimed in surprise, "What's wrong with you! You're bringing such a young child to investigate haunted places"

"Hey, even if children's urine wards off evil spirits and kids can see ghosts, you don't need to bring a lively little kid along, right"

"You still have the nerve to pretend to be so high and mighty, ignoring the child's safety—"

She lashed out at me with a torrent of accusations, as if she had found the moral high ground and could thus cover up her recent embarrassment.

Before I could even speak, Yunan couldn't help but frown and say, "...noisy."

Liu Feifei was choked with anger.

“This kid… how… how could he be…” She wanted to say he was clueless, but seeing You Nan’s cold eyes and delicate features, the second half of her sentence abruptly changed: “He doesn’t… know what he eats, how could he be so cute~~”

Yu Nan ignored her and turned to hug me tightly.

At the end of the road, there was only the straight wind. A gust of somewhat menacing wind blew through, raising a cloud of dust. At some point, a light flickered in the depths of the quarry.

"Damn it... when did the lights get on..." Zhang Fatty shrank back.

That lamp was a dull yellow, just like the spirit banners and white road signs I had seen on the way, ancient as if they hadn't been made recently.

"Younan, let's go." I said to Younan.

You Nan looked at the lamp and whispered, "Mother, should these two strangers continue to follow us Perhaps we could ask the local earth spirits to send some Yin soldiers to detain them"

Good grief... As expected of the little emperor of the underworld, even your words carry the air of a superior being.

"Let them follow. I also want to find out who's pulling the strings behind the scenes." I whispered.

You Nan nodded slightly, raising her eyes to look at the light that suddenly flared in the distance. A faint, dark golden iris flickered in her pupils.

Looking at him, it felt as if Jiang Qiyun was by my side. My heart eased a little, and I held onto him as we walked towards the lamp.

A lamp hung at the entrance of a stone cave. The cave wasn't very deep, looking like it was a place where quarry workers took shelter from the heat. As soon as I got to the doorway, I saw a shadow projected onto the inner rock wall.t them fall into the hands of others and be controlled.
