CHAPTER 226: CHAPTER 199:

The incident caused heavy losses. Li Yunhe swept away many precious documents, and he was already a genius. He will surely become even more powerful after this.

"Not only that, but when he left, he also released many spirits and ghosts, causing chaos in the mortal world."

Mu Yunchu tentatively asked, "Is there a fox demon among them?"

She thought of Feng Niang, who had transformed into Mrs. Luan Huacheng.

Unexpectedly, with a casual question, she received a very affirmative answer from Wei Xianzhong.

"Yes, there is indeed a hundred-year-old fox demon."

But Mu Yunchu’s question also made him realize that they must have met before and even interacted.

Mu Yunchu could confirm that these recent events, including the man behind the child-mother ghost, were orchestrated by Li Yunhe.

Thirty years ago, Wei Xianzhong was just a rookie who had joined Unit 749, and he hadn’t witnessed the incident personally, only hearing that quite a few brothers were lost.

"There was chaos at home, and foreign countries, as if timing it perfectly, chose that moment to approach us."

So, for many years, they had always suspected that Li Yunhe was in collusion with foreign enemies.

In fact, the nation seemed stable, and economic and technological developments had been very good over the years, but they knew that foreign countries never stop eyeing their ’big prize.’

We have mystical spells, and they might not lack them either.

If Unit 749 falls, only loose cultivators remain in the world, and no matter how powerful they are, they would be insignificant against foreign threats.

Liu Liang attached great importance to the Dragon Vein also for this reason. National fortune is more important to a country than imagined.

Perhaps from the bottom of his heart, Wei Xianzhong wanted Mu Yunchu to join, unwilling to miss out on such talent. Or maybe the conversation hit a crucial point, and his emotions couldn’t be restrained.

Wei Xianzhong recounted some events from past years to Mu Yunchu.

"A few years ago, they joined forces to cast spells and set up an array on our land, hoping to steal our luck. Fortunately, it was discovered in time, and several masters united to resolve it."

Not only did we remain unaffected, but that country also suffered a backlash on its own.

But actually, they themselves were somewhat depleted.

It was because the neighboring countries ’would not give up,’ that Wei Xianzhong was so persistent about wanting Mu Yunchu to join.

After hearing these words, it would be a lie to say that Mu Yunchu was not moved in the slightest. However, she did not agree, saying only that she needed some time to consider.

At the same time, she thought of something important.

"What is it?" Wei Xianzhong perked up.

Mu Yunchu recounted the entire cause and effect of the fox demon being around Luan Huacheng.

"After this happened, I asked him, and he said that if he wasn’t around, a piece of land in our city would have been bought by a foreign businessman."

Even if Wei Xianzhong didn’t know who Luan Huacheng was, he understood the stakes involved.

Finally, Mu Yunchu added that if something were to happen, she definitely wouldn’t stand by idly.

...

Mu Yunchu had been busy all morning.

First, she exorcised ghosts, and then she had a battle of wits with Wei Xianzhong.

She thought she could finally rest after returning to her shop, but just as she reached the door, something strange happened.

A sign had been hanging steadily on the door, and it wouldn’t fall even if the wind blew.

But today, it inexplicably fell to the ground.

Right in front of her.

As if it was deliberately trying to catch Mu Yunchu’s attention.

Just as this thought crossed her mind, another branch was blown over, blocking her path.

"Today is really strange," Li Shang sighed, "Is it trying to stop you from entering?"

It couldn’t possibly be a problem with the shop. Although Ye Zhixia had little combat ability, there were still those two Illusion Flowers.

Meanwhile, Mu Yunchu was looking down at the second branch, which had come to a slow stop upon touching the first one, and then began to adjust its direction, seemingly trying to form some words.

Mu Yunchu, feeling a bit helpless, changed directions.

Walking toward an abandoned building less than a hundred meters behind their shop.

When she entered, those few ghosts were gathered together working on something, epitomizing the term ’sneaky.’

Perhaps they were too focused, so when Li Shang quietly approached from behind, she saw a few ghosts manipulating a branch...

Immediately, she understood.

"So it was you who did those strange things at the door!"

Her voice wasn’t loud, but it startled the ghosts.

Especially the elderly ghost lady, who clutched her chest repeatedly, looking at her with reproachful eyes, "Oh my, I nearly got scared to death again."

Li Shang remained unfazed.

Although the other party looked older, in terms of age, she was actually a few hundred years older.

So there was no so-called ’respect for the elderly and love for the young.’

And frankly speaking, she was already a ghost, so why spare anyone!

So hearing this complaint that didn’t really sound like an accusation, Li Shang just crossed her arms and glanced at them.

"What are you doing here?"

"Looking for Yun Chu?"

It’s really strange. Last night, they said they didn’t want to be reincarnated, but today they eagerly came looking.

However, this explanation clarifies what they were doing hiding here.

They hadn’t harmed anyone or possessed innate resentment, nor had they cultivated, so staying on that ghost bus for years, they lacked any yin energy and couldn’t appear in broad daylight.

So they could only attract Mu Yunchu’s attention this way.

Eight or nine of them could barely control a branch, and judging by the results, they didn’t do it well.

Pathetically weak.

Seeing them all nod in agreement, Li Shang asked again, "So you’ve decided to be reincarnated."

These ghosts looked at each other, and ultimately hesitated without nodding.

"It’s really strange, then why are you here?"

They seemed embarrassed, finally appointing a representative, the scholarly old man.

"Can we... stay by your side?" he asked, looking at Mu Yunchu with hopeful eyes.

Actually, before coming here, this idea wasn’t that firm.

If it were yesterday, after witnessing Mu Yunchu’s abilities, they might still have thought their idea was absurd.

But seeing Ye Zhixia this morning boosted their courage.

"Just finding something to do."

Some of these ghosts might still have attachments to the mortal world, while others might have different reasons.

Ultimately, they currently don’t want to be reincarnated.

After seeing Ye Zhixia, they felt there was more hope for this desire.

But staring at Mu Yunchu for a while, her expression remained unmoved.

She shook her head slowly, "I don’t have a place to arrange for you."

One or two would be fine, but there were nearly ten.

And they were different from Zhu Hong from before, who stayed because of tremendous grievances, the current situation was entirely different.

Unless one day land falls from the sky for her, she would consider this, to prevent these ghosts from causing trouble.

Mu Yunchu hadn’t expected that this would actually come true in the near future.

But for now, she sent these ghosts away.
