such low expectationsHe said that his master called him Xiao Lang, and he was bought from a human trafficker four years ago. He is only ten years old this year.He is very tall, I thought he was twelv...This request is simply too difficult. I quickly explained to my senior brother that he was elusive and I had no idea where he was.

My senior brother is not a stubborn old scholar. He knows much more about this circle, especially the rumors about the Mu family, than I do. After I repeatedly assured him with all sincerity that I hadn't done anything out of line, and that our relationship was simply like ordinary friends, he temporarily put his suspicions aside.

But—

"Ordinary friends I've watched you grow up. What ordinary friend would sleep in a bed with you" he snorted coldly.

My face flushed red, and I mustered my courage to plead, "Senior brother~~ I didn't do anything wrong, and if he were going to do anything to me, would I still be here, acting cute and being a nuisance with you You... can you keep this a secret for me I don't want to be questioned by the senior brothers and sisters."

"This kind of thing, you should speak for yourself. It's only a matter of time before the truth comes out."

He closed his book, got up and left my room, muttering, “I’m not here, if you cause trouble no one can cover for you, be careful.”

Looking at his sullen back, I felt a bit helpless. My senior brother didn't erupt in anger, but he also didn't take a clear stance, which left me feeling rather lost.

I took out the key chain that Brother Tánlang gave me and planned to go see what Master Yúnfán had arranged.

Just before I left the house, I received a call from my master Yun Fan.

"Little girl, thank you for the wine."

"Huh You personally called to thank me I was a bit surprised and hurriedly politely said a few words of thanks to Yun Fan Shibo for his advice, and please take care of this kind of thing."

He said with a smirk, "Do you still need me to look after you Isn't Mu Wanchen enough to take care of you already He watches over you so closely, we're all embarrassed to interfere, ah hahaha..."

I'm a bit confused, this Yunfan Master always speaks with a hint of amusement in his voice. It sounds like he's teasing, but there's also something else beneath the surface.

"Alright, let's get down to business. I heard you've been having some strange occurrences, something to do with a sorcerer" he finally asked the real question.

“Yes, yes, yes. There was a death yesterday, but the sorcerer disappeared…” I answered hastily.

"Haha, it won't disappear. She was interrupted while she was working and you destroyed a little ghost. How could it possibly disappear It will definitely come to find you for revenge. You be careful yourself. I'm tracking an organization. This sorcerer is very valuable. Tell Mu Wanchen, if she can capture him alive, try to get me a live one." He said nonchalantly.

“...”Come back to get revenge” I heard the key point.

"Well, this kind of person, resentment is very important, and they're almost obsessed with getting even. Their actions are all fueled by this kind of animosity... eh, you know a little bit about Taoism, right" he asked.

"I am ashamed. I whispered, '... Is it still too late to learn now'"

""

"...."

"Why not just cling to Mu Wanchen's thigh" he said bluntly.

“I have no idea where he is… He’s always disappearing and reappearing. I want him to teach me, but he can’t even be bothered.” I complained, a little bit sadly.

Who knew that Master Yunfan across from me burst into laughter, I felt like he was about to fall over laughing.

What's so funny

"Be good, you'll find him. Remember to study hard and make progress every day. Xiao Qiao didn't understand at first either, but she slowly learned. The most important thing is to have a good husband... ah, no, a good teacher." He laughed as he hung up the phone.

Would you like to be my husband I don't have one yet.

Master Yunfan's address is about four stops away from my house. It's a low-density housing complex located on the outskirts of the city. However, because it's adjacent to a newly built university town and scenic area, the housing prices are quite high.

Could it be that there's a master living in this neighborhood

I walked all the way to the main entrance with my umbrella. There was a magnetic access card on the key, so it was easy to get in.

The environment inside is very good, a low-density housing complex without that oppressive sky feeling. The buildings are either six or twelve stories high.

I came to the front door of the address and reached out to press the doorbell. No one answered for a long time.

"It's rare to have an empty house, isn't it Master Yun Fan gave me the key. Is he asking me to help clean or just take a look around"

I tried to open the door, pushing it opened to reveal a small foyer.

"Hello, is anyone there" I called out.

There was no response in the house.

My house is an old one. Generally speaking, if a house hasn't been inhabited for a long time, it has a special atmosphere—stillness, meaning the absence of people's energy.

Why do new houses have the custom of inviting guests It is because they need to invite good fortune. The aura of a person is limited, and if one lives in a house that is too large or too empty, it will have a negative impact on both their physical and mental health.

The wealthy and powerful who come to my house for medical treatment, at my place I usually first look at their living environment. Ancestral wisdom on health preservation is plentiful, yet most modern people are largely unaware of it.

Renovation should be luxurious, the house should be as big as possible, and it should also be convenient for transportation, with a bustling location, even a subway station on top... What kind of layout, orientation, aura, and environment are not considered at all.

This house looks very clean and refreshing. The simple new Chinese style is quite nice. The entranceway provides ample cover, and I touched the cabinet on top—not a speck of dust! The whole house is spotless, but it feels a little too empty.

"Is anyone home" I stepped into the foyer, peering into the living room. There was still a fruit bowl on the coffee table, with fresh fruits and a bright Hawaiian snakefruit with a bite taken out of it.

Well… someone lives here, but they’re not home I guess I shouldn't have just walked in.

Just as I was about to turn around, the door behind me slammed shut with a loud clang!

"Ah!" I was startled.

A magical portal appeared behind the door, and Mu Wanchen emerged from it.

He was taken aback to see me, frowning and saying, “How did you get here”

“I have a sneaking suspicion that Master Yunfan has played me.”

Mu Wanchen saw the key in my hand and said faintly, "Did Mu Yunfan send you here"

"You live here!" I suddenly realized.

He shook his head. “Not often here, I need a place to raise Gu spirits. Mu Yunfan just let me use this set of houses temporarily.”

Guiling In that case, is the snake spirit also here I looked around. This place has two rooms and a living room, but both bedrooms are closed.

"The spirit snake is in the small bedroom; it likes darkness and coolness," Mu Wanchen said.

"Wouldn't it scare the neighbors if we kept it here" I asked with some concern.

“They are well-behaved, but they need to be taken for walks on the mountain from time to time. These spirit insects are very useful. If they were kept within the magical formations, summoning them would be very troublesome, so I brought them out.” He beckoned with his finger towards the table, and a creature with a hazy outline gradually materialized.

A big fluffy tail, a pair of shiny black eyes, and tiny paws holding onto a piece of fruit... Is this some kind of spirit pet, designed to melt the hearts (and defenses) of enemiesed, "Damn...impossible...this big"I felt a little flustered and pressed, "Don't beat around the bush, just tell me what it is."He touched Yuanyuan's round chin and whispered, "This has a very strong r...
