"Of course not."

Mu Qingfeng smiled slightly, lifted the teacup in front of him and blew on it gently before drinking. Of course, this wasn't what he said; rather, it was Qi Lin who spoke.

The Way of the Gods looked at Qi Lin without even glancing his way, smiling victoriously as he said, "Just be careful that your words don't lead to trouble."

"You’re not in a position to interrupt our conversation. Come on, take her out," Jia Yifang hurriedly ordered when he saw the Way of the Gods wasn’t pleased.

Mu Qingfeng folded his fan and said, "Mr. Jia, who are you trying to kick out"

Jia Yifang was momentarily taken aback and awkwardly looked at Mu Qingfeng. He couldn't decide what to do; Mu Qingfeng was untouchable in the business world. If he angered him, there would be no place for Jia Yifang in this realm afterward. But if he made the Way of the Gods angry, it could cost his life.

What should he do

"Even if she is at fault, I am the one who should discipline her, not some outsider," Mu Qingfeng said firmly as he glared at Jia Yifang and then turned to the Way of the Gods. "Moreover, what she said isn’t wrong."

"Then are you questioning this Daoist" The Way of the Gods was surprised that Mu Qingfeng would say such a thing.

Mu Qingfeng just smiled and said, "Xiaoxue, explain to the Way of the Gods."

“Yes.” Qi Lin waited for this moment. She bowed slightly and said, “Mr. Mu doesn’t doubt Daoist Master’s words, but he has no faith in ghosts or gods.”

"How dare you!"

The Way of the Gods immediately sent a glance to Jia Yifang who understood that it was time to shut up. Then, the Way of the Gods gestured for Qi Lin to continue.

Qi Lin nodded and continued, "People have their own laws, ghosts have their paths. Humans have an emperor; in the netherworld, there is a King Yama. Everyone follows their own path. As long as one’s heart is pure, why would they fear being visited by a ghost Furthermore, the matter of the shadow hasn’t been investigated yet. Why does Daoist Master insist that it must be a ghost"

"It appears and disappears without a trace and there are signs of it sucking human blood. May I ask, if not caused by ghosts or spirits, what could it possibly be" Jia Yifang interrupted quickly. After the previous warning, he didn’t dare to call Qi Lin names.

“Has anyone actually seen a ghost’s true appearance” Qi Lin continued, “What Mr. Mu said earlier was only to show that he acts uprightly and doesn't need to fear ghosts even if there are any. Moreover, above the heavens aren’t there deities watching over Therefore, Mr. Mu has no intention of doubting Daoist Master.”

Mu Qingfeng nodded approvingly; he knew that Qi Lin had a good chance at winning with her quick wit. The Way of the Gods was now staring coldly at Qi Lin, his eyes showing mild anger while Jia Yifang was fuming but unsure how to rebut.

"Clap clap clap!"

Qi Lin was taken aback and looked confusedly at the Way of the Gods. Why was he clapping What did it mean

"Well, everyone to their own path," the Divine Path Taoist stopped clapping and continued, "However, I see that Miss's forehead is blackened, and her eyes lack vitality. Have you come into contact with someone who has encountered a ghostly shadow"

Someone who has encountered a ghostly shadow

"Sis, I was even caught by a ghostly shadow."

Pray! Qi Lin was startled and thought of how afraid Pray had been at the time.

"In my possession here is a bottle of holy water made with morning dew, which is quite useful for dispelling evil spirits. Just apply it to your doors and windows." Saying this, he took out a bottle from his bosom and then another charm paper, saying, "Also stick this on the headboard by your bed, so as to ensure Miss's safety."

What!

Qi Lin looked at those items. Should she accept them

Jia Yifang beside her was drooling over the things in the Divine Path Taoist’s hands. Qi Lin even thought that he would pounce forward to snatch and swallow it now.

"Xiao Xue, you should quickly thank the Divine Path Taoist," Mu Qingfeng noticed Qi Lin's lack of action and reminded her.

Qi Lin then nervously accepted the items but when she was about to take them, the bottle slipped from her fingers without warning. Under the amused gaze of the Divine Path Taoist...

But! Qi Lin almost unconsciously caught it!

The entire process took only a few seconds, yet it allowed Qi Lin to see Jia Yifang’s eyes nearly popping out and his hand paused in mid-air. She could barely suppress her urge to spray water and avoid him.

"Ah." Suddenly Jia Yifang pointed at Qi Lin's hand and cried out, "That is..."

Qi Lin frowned slightly as a cool sensation brushed past her fingertips, causing an uneasy feeling to rise within her.

"It seems the holy water rejected you," he gloated with a raised corner of his mouth before turning around and saying, "Mr. Jia, I need to meditate."

Thus, when Qi Lin was still in shock, Jia Yifang respectfully led the Divine Path Taoist away.

Jia Yifang did not reappear until Qi Lin and her group had left.

"It seems we have been forgotten," walking on the street, Qi Lin examined the charm paper, with people around her looking enviously at her.

Mu Qingfeng didn't say anything either.

"Don't you have anything to say" After all, being targeted and forgotten by someone for no reason, then... having one's moment of glory stolen.

"I'm glad."

"Glad" Qilin looked at Mucanfeng in confusion and then touched his forehead with her hand, "Are you okay Maybe the blow was too much for you It's not like this is your first time getting hit. Why do you care so much"

After saying that, Qilin realized her comforting method might be a bit off and quickly changed the topic, "Um... Should we find an inn to eat our fill No, should we have some food at an inn **!"

When she tried two times but still failed, Qilin truly felt confused. She suddenly smacked her head.

"Haha... Ha ha ha," Mucanfeng burst out laughing when tickled by Qilin's antics. He wouldn't take that kind of person like Jia Yifang seriously and found Qilin amusing. Seeing the expression lines on Qilin’s face, Mucanfeng said in a composed manner, "There is a nice inn ahead with delicious roasted whole lamb. Thanks for helping me today, so I’ll treat you."

"I was waiting for this," Qilin laughed cheerfully and turned around to stick out her tongue before saying, "You're mine for tonight."

Mucanfeng smiled and followed after her.

After Qilin and Mucanfeng left, a figure slowly emerged from the corner with a slight upturn of his lips as he gently squeezed the flower in his hand until it drooped.

Night fell before Qilin returned to her inn. Mucanfeng had an urgent matter and rushed off after seeing her to the door. By the time Qilin got back to the room, Lüzhu hadn't returned either, with no signs of moving anything in the room. When Qilin asked the attendant, he replied that Lüzhu had not come back after accompanying her.

Qilin thought Lüzhu should be busy gathering information and would return soon. She wasn’t sure if she’d eaten yet or not so she specifically instructed the attendant to prepare dinner and hot tea in case of an emergency.

Next, Qilin sat at her desk to report today’s matters to Feng Changqiang, but as soon as she picked up a brush pen, she noticed something flying past the window. She thought it was just a hallucination, but when more and more dark shadows appeared outside the window, she finally realized that something significant had happened.

She grabbed an outer robe from nearby and cautiously approached the window to gently push it open. But before her hand could move fully, a large hand pressed down on hers, closing the window abruptly. Qilin raised her arm to retaliate but was caught by the person who held her wrist tightly against the window frame, making her drop her dagger.

"If you open the window now, you’ll be eaten."

Recognizing that familiar voice, Qilin let out a sigh of relief. But she was still being restrained by Bai Qianye and pressed up against the wall. “Do you like pressing people down” She complained, "You did it when we first met and now too."

The last time she had been pinned to a wolf’s corpse.

"Sorry," Bai Qianye finally released her and stepped back.

Qilin tidied up her hair and touched her wrist, which was already red from being squeezed. She glared at Bai Qianye and walked over to sit at the desk, asking, "Why are you here"

This time Feng Changqiang was worried and Quanquanyuan wouldn’t have people around either. It should also be a good opportunity for him to make his move. Why would he come back here

Wait! Qilin seemed to recall something and tilted her head, "What do you know about the shadow demons"

Bai Qianye sat down on a comfortable tatami mat with a smile, saying, “Tell me first what’s up with your scent.”

"The smell on me" Qi Lin frowned in confusion, lifting her hand to sniff and finding no scent. "What smell"

Bai Qianye pointed at the corner of Qi Lin's clothes and said, "It’s the fishy odor that female vampire bats leave behind when they mate."

What!" Qi Lin suddenly jumped up, sniffing around but still unable to detect any scent. She then kicked Bai Qianye and accused him of playing tricks on her.

"Of course you can't smell it; most people can’t either, especially not those who carry this particular odor. And certainly not women carrying the scent of a man," Bai Qianye spoke without realizing his tone was tinged with jealousy as he stared at Qi Lin with faint anger.

Qi Lin was initially stunned and began hearing pounding sounds in her ears. She turned to look at the ghost banging against the window, got up, and walked over to it. Although the wooden window seemed sturdy despite constant impacts, it appeared fragile enough for intruders to enter at any moment. Outside, people were gathering noisily, but Qi Lin was still pondering something and took out a crumpled talisman to study closely.

"At this point, are you still relying on such things" Bai Qianye shook his head, completely unconcerned about the ghost knocking at the door.

"I get it," Qi Lin smiled slightly and walked over to Bai Qianye. "Now I understand what’s going on; no wonder those smelly Taoists act so arrogantly. It turns out they’re like this."

Bai Qianye blinked, waiting for Qi Lin's next words.

"Earlier you mentioned vampire bats These creatures have a keen sense of smell, particularly for fishy odors. However, with Phoenix City’s abundant sunlight and bustling crowds, vampire bats rarely appear here. Hence, the scent left by female vampire bats is used to attract them in large numbers." Qi Lin pretended to be wearing a detective-style pair of glasses as she continued, "The smelly Taoists know this, so they sell holy water for people to apply on doors and windows. But wealthy individuals usually hire Taoists who won’t let them use such things, thus vampire bats don't bother the rich."

After piecing everything together, Qi Lin nodded confidently and raised an eyebrow at Bai Qianye, saying, "I didn’t expect that holy Daoist’s gift to be so useful. Let me see how I can play a trick on him."

"I am the Holy Daoist," Bai Qianye said indifferently.

"No wonder." Qi Lin snapped her fingers and frowned, looking at Bai Qianye in astonishment. She moved closer to examine him carefully before standing up, turning around, taking off her shoes, and then swinging them towards Bai Qianye, saying, "It’s you! You die, you die, damn it! Is playing tricks on me fun Really fun Why don’t you go play in the mud"

Unfortunately, her speed was no match for Bai Qianye's; she couldn't hit him.

I knew those smelly Taoists were scoundrels; how could there be such a good-looking one

"There’s one more thing I lied about," Bai Qianye jumped to Qi Lin's bedside and said, "Do you want to hear it"

"Speak!" Qi Lin held her shoes in both hands, panting slightly as she demanded, "Tell me everything."

“I said I’m the Holy Daoist…that was a lie.”

Qi Lin raised her eyebrows and threw one of her shoes at him.

Die, Bai Qianye!

"One more thing," Bai Qianye caught the shoe with his hand and said, "I’m being pursued by them right now."housand years!"Zi Yin ignored the kneeling officials and walked briskly towards Feng Changqiang. After approaching him, he knelt on one knee with a smile and said, "Long live Your Majesty for ten thou...
