no way around it, brother. I'm just that mentally tough. Why don't you learn a thing or two" My brother kicked me with frustration, making me shrink my foot back. He sprawled beside me carelessly.What...My brother raised an eyebrow: “Mu Yuqing I don't know if she'll help, we're not close.”

"I think she's pretty scared of you. You should try talking to her." My grandfather was quite formidable when he was younger; his brothers were afraid of him, and I guess that fear has passed down through the generations.

"Okay, I'll try contacting her... Tonight" My brother looked at me.

I glared at him: "If you don't get so tired your legs go weak, do it tonight! If you're too tired, then tomorrow!"

“Pffft…” My brother choked back a laugh and sat beside me, putting his arm around my shoulder with an air of camaraderie: “I feel bad for you, aching all over and still clutching that ball.”

I tilted my head and sniffed. He had a faint, barely noticeable scent of perfume on him.

"Yay! How about we find a wife to come home with us We'll be so happy." I hummed in response.

"No, Yao Yao, getting married is way too stressful. I don't want to get married." My brother remained steadfast in his belief.

Da Bao looked at my brother enviously: "Young Master, what kind of girl did you make an appointment with She looks good! I envy you single guys so much. My wife is terrible! Not to mention making an appointment, even if I just swipe my phone a few times, she'll make me kneel on the washboard and do laundry."

"You brought this upon yourself. One willing to fight, the other willing to be hit. Blame whom" My brother laughed and jumped up, getting ready to go upstairs.

"What are you doing Didn't you say you were going to call Mu Yuqing" I asked.

"Hit me, I'll go take a shower and change my scent. Look at your unhappy face, ah, if you could bully Jiang Qiyun like this, then that would be impressive. You only know how to bully your older brother..." My brother sighed and climbed the stairs.

Daba looked at me with admiration: "Little Empress, you're so amazing! You must be very authoritative at home, right"

Do I have authority

What a joke...

》》》

Mu Yuqing arrived very quickly, she nervously looked at my brother: “...Young Master..."

"Less the master of the house That title seems a bit much, why is she so afraid of my brother"

My brother also froze, holding a lollipop and said: "What are you nervous about I'll eat you!"

"No, it's not...I was a little afraid of you anyway..." She shrank back imperceptibly.

"Are you afraid of me I'm the one who caught you at the Ghost Market that day, right Didn't I let you go afterwards What are you afraid I'll do" My brother said in confusion.

She shook her head, changing the subject: “Master Shao called me here for something, didn't he I... that mission also failed. You confiscated everything, too…”

Well, I was beaten by Jiang Qiyun.

"We have a job for you, brother. We settle things fairly between kin. We need you to leave your body and take on a task. How do you charge"

I secretly observed Mu Yuqing. She was wearing a red necklace, red string bracelets on both wrists, and a red string anklet on each ankle.

This is a spell to stabilize the soul, isn't it

My cousin, Chen Susin, used to have red strings wrapped around her neck. After she took them off, her soul left her body while she was sleeping. A white head with a tail floated around aimlessly and scared my brother half to death.

Chen Susin's was an unconscious out-of-body experience, while Mu Yuqing seemed to be proficient in this technique, even able to manifest a soul out of her body to steal things.

Spells are numerous and varied, as countless as the stars in the sky.

Even with a lifetime of effort, ordinary people cannot fathom all the wonders and mysteries of the world.

Mu Yuqing's soul-leaving technique has become a skill she's mastered. It's estimated that her direct relatives are also proficient in this.

"May I ask... what does the Young Master want me to do" Mu Yuqing was a little afraid: "I've heard that the Young Master is very capable, things that require the Young Master to take action should be very difficult, right I only know a little bit of rudimentary Dao techniques, I'm afraid..."

"Don't be afraid, you're just going with some ghosts." My brother bit on a lollipop, causing the greedy wolf beside him to swallow nervously.

I can't stand the smell of smoke, so my brother quit smoking. When he feels an itch in his mouth, he chews on candy sticks.

Actually, his smoking habit wasn't severe, quitting wouldn't be difficult. What pained him was that quitting smoking meant losing a way to appear cool.

I took out two lollipops from the refrigerator and gave them to the gluttonous wolf, instructing: "Just taste it, you're still young, you can't eat too much, or you'll get cavities."

The Wolf grinned and nodded, saying, "Thank you, Master Uncle!"

Uncle Master... I twitched my mouth. My brother was joking about taking him as a disciple, and he immediately kowtowed and called him Master, afraid we wouldn't accept him.

Tan Lang peeled the candy paper while muttering softly, "Mu Yuqing is afraid of her master (my brother). Something on her master's body suppresses her."

"What" I stared at the Gray Wolf in astonishment. This burly, hulking young man, could he possibly have some extraordinary talent

How could I not know what my brother had on him to subdue her

The Wolf grinned, sucking on his lollipop: "Master's amulet... it seems to have a particularly strong effect on ghosts."

My brother's copper talisman

That was the only thing my grandfather passed down from generation to generation to his eldest son and grandson.

My children are considered "adults" at sixteen years old because early marriage and having many children is common due to the fear of extinction.

When a son reaches the age of sixteen, his father will pass down this copper amulet to him.

Jiang Qiyun once used this bronze talisman to make Mu Yunliang's ghost barrier tremble, allowing him to break in and save me.

Therefore, the power of this copper talisman is undeniable. It's just a little strange that it needs to be held in the mouth when venturing into dangerous places.

We don't know the specific reason, anyway, as long as we can survive.

"Greedy Wolf, how did you know all this" I asked curiously.

This kid has just arrived at my house, usually very quiet and reserved, but it turns out he's so clear-headed inside. Who taught him this

Tài Lang shook his head and said, “I don’t know either, it just feels that way. If I say the wrong thing, please don’t scold me.”

"...I won't scold you. From now on, if you have anything on your mind, tell us right away, okay Don't keep it bottled up." I pinched his cheek.

The child nodded and walked away, sucking on a lollipop.

Mu Yuqing told my brother that casting spells requires a tranquil place, and one's body must remain within the formation without moving. Otherwise, the souls wouldn't return.

"Then where do you usually perform your rituals" My brother immediately dismissed the idea of setting up a magical circle at home as soon as he heard about drawing a magic formation.

"In my study at home..." Mu Yuqing replied.

"Then you go home first, we'll wait for you downstairs at your place, and then we'll head to Qingsheng Hospital together."

It was still early, so we spent time at a cafe near Mu Yuqing's house. Past nine o'clock, Jiang Qiyun appeared beside me.

He heard that they were going to use Mu Yuqing to track the people (ghosts) getting on and off Qingcheng Hospital, and frowned slightly: "...It's a bit dangerous. This mortal's Taoist path is very shallow."

"Will you be going too" I asked, worried that your cultivation was too shallow for such a journey

"I can go, but I need a barrier to surround us, and I can't intervene easily. The malevolent spirits will disperse once they sense my aura." He frowned slightly.

My older brother thought for a moment and said, "Big Treasure and I will take one car, you and Xiao Qiao will take the other. We'll watch from afar and see what happens. If we can control the situation, you two won't have to get involved."

I feel a bit guilty. Me and Jiang Qiyun in the same car Then who drives

I'm driving now, and the spirits of the roadside land deities are clearing a path for me. How could I possibly feel comfortable with that

When I set off, I held my brother's car key in my hand and stood by the car.

Jiang Qiyun glanced at me, her eyes sweeping over my belly before she chuckled and took the key from my hand.

"…Please have a seat." dismissed all the paper-like maidservants and placed me on the bed. He then addressed the young boy, "Begin."What's the beginning"Wait, what are you doing Qiyún, what's wrong" I struggled to sit up....
