1266 Demon

!" A-Liang couldn't help but complain: "What if others solve it Wouldn't I be a huge sinner!""Will anyone still call him Wanchen" I was stunned.A Liang paused, tilting his head in thought: "It seems n...We instinctively looked up at the sky. We had just faintly heard the birds chirping in the mountains, but now everything around us was silent, as if time itself had stopped.

Now not only Mu Wanchen, but all of us were getting nervous.

The young wife was a little flustered and immediately pinched her fingers to mutter a spell. A chill swept over the garden's stone path, and I saw two hazy figures appear at the bottom of the steps.

The little wife asked, "Two honorable deities, what happened down the mountain"

"Little Empress, please stay calm. It seems there are spirits appearing by the river, disturbing all living beings. We shall go check it out and return shortly..."

The little wife nodded, went back into the house to put on her small satchel, and said to me: "I'll go take a look. I don't trust these ordinary disciples. Little Luo'er, you stay here. The important places in the Shen family are all protected by magic circles. Ordinary demons dare not rush in."

She dashed out the door. I glanced at Mu Wanchen: "…You go with your junior sister, I don't trust him."

Mu Wanchen didn't hesitate, he nodded and said: "No matter what happens, don't leave the Shen family's premises, take care of yourself. I'll go see what's going on and come back. It's unsettling not knowing."

He tapped my wrist with his chin. I covered the jade tube on my hand; that fierce weasel spirit was here with me. If we encountered any danger, I could release it first.

He followed his young mistress down the steps, his figure disappearing into the night of the garden.

I nervously chewed on my fingers. Lin Yanhuan said to me, “You’re a key protected target now, don't stand here in the cold wind. Go inside and sit down and wait.”

A sense of unease kept welling up inside me, a feeling of anxiety and restlessness that was hard to describe. There was no obvious danger around, yet this hidden, lurking unease was even more tormenting.

"The Shen family should be safe enough..." I looked at Lin Yanhua.

He seemed unfazed by whatever situation he was facing, his face betraying no hint of panic. He nodded slightly and said: "In your circle, it should be a safe place, but the word 'accident' means that it subverts normal cognition... Let's go to the advanced room, I'll have the bodyguard contact relevant agencies nearby to strengthen control."

I turned around, leaning against the door frame, and raised my foot to step inside. Just as I crossed one leg over the threshold, I heard a very light footstep approaching. The person was stopped by Lin Yanhuan's bodyguard at the corridor edge.

"Who are you" Lin Yanhuan frowned and asked.

The bodyguard stopped a small figure. Upon closer inspection, I realized it was the little girl who had been kicking a shuttlecock earlier that evening.

At this moment, she was wearing a thin inner robe. Her face was filled with panic as she bowed to us and urgently asked, "Where is the head of the family"

Master

"Oh, oh... You're asking about Mu Xiaoqiao Sister-in-law Xiaoqiao just went out to check the situation. She'll be back in a while. Is there something you need from her" I asked.

The little girl nodded, but remained silent about what was wrong.

"Then come in and wait." I saw she was dressed thinly and unwilling to talk to us, so I had to ask her to come in.

She was cold too, hugging her arms as she walked into the house and stood in the corner waiting.

"Master, when will you be back..." she mumbled softly, peering anxiously out the window.

"She just left, how could she be back so soon If you have something important to report, why not go find another Daoist master in charge" Lin Yanhuan said faintly.

The little girl stopped speaking again, and she looked at Lin Yanhua with a touch of fear.

Lin Yanhuan was operating her phone while saying softly, “It’s nothing important. Just go back to rest first. Kids shouldn't stay up late, and don't make a fuss.”

The little girl was stunned for a moment, then angrily said: "What's so surprising! I'm not surprised at all, there's really something important—"

Lin Yanhuan still looked at her indifferently, his tone carrying a hint of condescending arrogance: "What important matters could you, a child like you, possibly have Couldn't it be that you woke up from a nightmare and came to Mu Xia Qiao for comfort We're very busy now and have no time to coddle children. Go back to your room first and don't cause trouble."

The little girl's face flushed with anger, she turned her head and strode out of the room, quickening her pace down the corridor towards the backyard.

Lin Yanhuan raised her hand and put her phone back in her pocket, calmly saying to me, “Children are just simple. Just tease them a little.”

Sweat, is young master Lin deliberately putting on this attitude

“Yin Luo, I'm going to follow that little girl. The atmosphere here is strange now. Something must be wrong with the Shen family… You stay and protect Mu Xiaoqiao's child.” Lord Lin assigned tasks: “You also need protection. There are some unseen things guarding Mu Xiaoqiao's child. It's safer for you to go there too.”

"Okay... I understand. Be careful." I replied.

Lin Gongzi gave a faint smile, as if my words were a bit redundant. As long as he could see and touch someone, he had never been afraid of anyone.

I saw him trailing after the little girl with two bodyguards, and I quickly walked backwards through the corridor to the backyard. In a house like this, it's easy to find the owner's living quarters.

The Shen family's home was called a big house, but it was very different from our big house. It was more like a sect in the mountains. Even the pine trees had carved stone railings around them. The blue brick steps were very imposing, unlike the small courtyards with corridors in my house. This place had a more grand and rustic style.

I saw a woman in ancient-style clothing float past the front of the main courtyard, and I hurried to follow her. My junior wife is temporarily staying on one side of the main courtyard.

This is a "main courtyard" formed by three courtyards. The middle courtyard should be where the legitimate head of the Shen family resided.

The woman in ancient-style attire drifted into a side courtyard. I just followed her in, and she suddenly turned around to look at me, startling me.

"My name is Yin Luo, Mu Xiaqiao is my master." I hurriedly raised my hands and introduced myself.

Because this woman looks terrifying—her skin is pale, and she walks as if floating. She's definitely not normal.

The woman's wary gaze paused, then she sized me up, bowing slightly and whispering, "So it's Miss Yin... what brings you here"

"My junior sister and her husband went to the front mountain to check on the situation. I'm worried about my younger brother, Lan Xi, so I came over to look after him…" I slightly bowed in return.

When it came to Lan Xi, the woman's usually straight gaze softened a little. She nodded at me and said, "Little Immortal Lord is fine. Please come in and sit."

I walked into the junior mistress's bedroom. It was truly an "ice and fire" world. Four maids in ancient clothing stood outside, trying their best to restrain their aura, but it still felt very cold; while lifting the curtain to go inside, the warm light from the little sun bathed the room in a cozy warmth.

"The little fairy's body is slightly unwell, we don't dare to get too close for fear that his cold aura will affect him, he is still so young..." A maidservant said to me, "That's why we are all watching from outside."

"Can I come in" I frowned, looking at Xiaolanxi curled up in bed under a blanket, surrounded by others. It was hard to see clearly.

Here's the translation: lowly official pitifully said, "Your Majesty, these shackles are all made uniformly from the mines of Mifeng Forest. Who would have thought that Your Highness would need them… Moreover, this is Yinch...
