This Xun Lao suddenly came to Mu Xuanche and stretched out his hand first. Shangguan Jinhong's eyes widened. You must know that the handshake ceremony usually requires the person who reaches out first to lower his posture. Xun Lao said with a smile She was very happy, and her tone was even a little happy, "Xuan Wang can come, my building is really shining, I, Xun, am honored in this life," Shangguan Chenxi widened her eyes and was at a loss, this she had ever What is the origin of the man who had been sarcastic about? The man whom his father respected so much actually lowered his posture in front of him. Mu "It's just a false name, Xun Lao You're welcome, Mu Mou came to the house today to make trouble," Xun Lao smiled, said nothing, turned to look at me, and asked: "This girl is..." Mu Xuanche's eyes changed slightly, the coldness had faded a lot, and he said: "This is my beloved wife," Xun Lao Hearing this, he smiled and nodded at me, and I returned his gift gracefully. Just as I was about to turn around, I suddenly said: "Girl, the name of my master is Ling Lingzi," I was shocked. How could this person know my master, but his face didn't reveal anything about it, he just answered "Yes," Xun Lao didn't ask too much, he walked up to Bai Qiling and said: "This is the famous ghost doctor Bai Qiling, I know, the ghost doctor Bai Qiling and Xuan Wang is a good friend, and Xuan Wang is such an arrogant person that he will not allow just anyone to follow him, so the ghost doctor who follows Xuan Wang must be, Bai Qiling," Bai Qiling laughs He was indifferent and just said: "XunLao You're welcome, Bai's medical skills are average and he's just a nobody." XunLao was no longer crowded and everyone recognized him, so he invited everyone to sit around the big round table in the middle of the living room. Down,
Shangguan Jinhong and her daughter were filled with confusion at that moment, especially Shangguan Chenxi. Who exactly was Bai Qiling? A ghost doctor, an Exorcist, a physician? The more she thought about it, the more muddled she became.
Xun Lao invited Mu Xuanche to take the main seat, but Mu Xuanche coldly declined. Xun Lao didn’t press further and took the main seat himself.
"Actually, I have a rough idea of why Xuan Wang is here today," Xun Lao said. "It's just that, Xuan Wang, it's not that I don't want to give you face; it's just that you arrived a bit late."
I raised my eyebrows in surprise. What was going on? Arrived late?
Mu Xuanche's voice turned icy as he asked, "Mr. Xun, what do you mean by that?"
Xun Lao replied leisurely, "Oh, Xuan Wang, please don’t be angry. It's just that your old friend sent someone ahead of time. I'm really in a bit of a bind here; I can't afford to offend either side with my humble status."
My confusion was evident on my face. Old friend? What other friends did Mu Xuanche have that I hadn't met?
Mu Xuanche spoke up, "I have no old friends who would dare to compete with me."
His words were harsh and left no room for leniency.
At some point, Wei Butler had left but suddenly returned with four people beside the round table.
The intruders were two men and two women. One of the women exclaimed, "Xuan Wang! Why are you here too? Did the leader send you? Where's Princess Jinping?"
A man next to her quickly interrupted her question, saying, "Don't you see there's a woman beside Xuan Wang? How could he bring Princess Jinping along if he's sneaking around? Are you out of your mind?"
These two seemed to think Mu Xuanche was the Xuan Wang played by his brother on the island.
Mu Xuanche remained silent, his expression cold. He thought he had a good idea of what was happening.
At that moment, everyone's attention was drawn to the four newcomers.
I, fearing exposure, didn't pay much attention to them. However, it was precisely because of my lack of focus that I noticed Xun Lao's lips curling into a strange smile.
A warning bell rang in my mind. My vigilance, which had lowered due to his attitude towards Mu Xuanche, shot back up.
The four people found their seats and greeted Xun Lao before casually addressing Mu Xuanche. "Xuan Wang, just relax and enjoy yourself. Leave the Compass Fragment to us. Once we return, Princess Jinping will be all over you; we all know that. Just unwind; no one will leak a word."
Mu Xuanche's face darkened, his voice icy. "I'm not here to play. I must obtain that Compass Fragment. As for your leader, you can explain things to him."
The four members of the Cult of Spirits exchanged glances. One woman, unable to tolerate Mu Xuanche's attitude any longer, shouted, "What do you mean by that, Xuan Wang? What kind of attitude is this?"
Mu Xuanche's expression remained unchanged as he sneered. "That Compass Fragment is mine. You should leave while you can; my stance is clear."
The expressions of the four shifted dramatically. The man who seemed to be the leader spoke to Mu Xuanche in a low voice, "Xuan Wang, while our leader respects you as a guest, you seem to think too highly of yourself. How dare you compete with our leader for something? I believe your good days are numbered."
The man's harshness was almost a threat directed at Mu Xuanche.
For a proud man like Mu Xuanche, allowing ants to run rampant before him was unacceptable.
Mu Xuanche snorted coldly. "If you dare to threaten me, I think your good days are also coming to an end."
The man widened his eyes in disbelief and stammered, "You..."
Xun Lao stepped in to mediate, saying, "The Intruder is a guest. If you disturb the peace here, it won't reflect well on me. Both of you should calm down; we all want the Compass Fragment. Let's sit down and discuss this properly, shall we? Peace is of utmost importance."
The man turned his head and replied in a strange tone, "I value peace, but I'm afraid some people don't know their place."
Mu Xuanche glanced at him disdainfully but chose not to respond.
I trembled with anger at his words directed at Mu Xuanche, yet I remained silent. If my identity were exposed, it would cause significant trouble for me back at the Cult of Spirits. I had to endure; it wasn't worth losing my temper over a momentary issue.
Xun Lao continued, "As for the Compass Fragment, I truly don't know whom to give it to..."
Upon hearing Xun Lao's ambiguous stance, the man grew anxious and began to shout, "Xun Lao, this isn't fair! Didn't you promise us you'd give it to us?"
A flicker of disbelief crossed Xun Lao's calm face, but he quickly masked it out of courtesy.
He replied, "Qian Yong, I never promised you anything. Please refrain from speaking like that in front of Xuan Wang; it could lead to misunderstandings."
Just as Qian Yong was about to slam his hand on the table and stand up, a woman beside him stopped him. She addressed Xun Lao, saying, "Xun Lao, Qian Yong is just overly responsible and eager to fulfill the task given by the leader. Surely you can understand and won't hold it against him too much."
This woman was quite clever; offending Xun Lao could lead to dire consequences if he decided to hand everything over to Xuan Wang in a fit of anger.
Xun Lao smiled but said nothing.
He then surveyed everyone at the table and spoke loudly, "Everyone here today brings me great joy. It has been a long time since so many have come to see me. I'm getting old and prefer not to get involved in any Conflict. Why don't you two families discuss this among yourselves?"
Mu Xuanche shot a glance at the four people present but remained unwilling to speak.
Qian Yong was secretly held back by the woman, preventing him from speaking further, fearing he would ruin things.
The woman had certainly noticed Mu Xuanche's gaze and felt a surge of anger within her, but she suppressed it and turned to Xun Lao. "Xun Lao, our leader's sincerity is right in front of you. I, Yaoji, am not unreasonable. Since my friends and I have come to you with sincerity, this Compass Fragment should rightfully belong to us."
Xun Lao responded with confusion, "On what grounds? I don't recall any rule about first come, first served."
Yaoji found it difficult to express her frustration and sat down with a twist of her body.
Xun Lao glanced at Mu Xuanche and noticed he had no desire for anything. Thus, he spoke up, "I actually have a plan. Why don't we split into two teams for a game? The winner will receive the Compass Fragment."
Mu Xuanche remained silent, and naturally, I wouldn't voice any objections either. Bai Qiling was indifferent and wouldn't oppose it.
The members of the Cult of Spirits exchanged glances but said nothing. Seeing this, Xun Lao's smile deepened. "Since no one opposes, let's have dinner first and then rest well at my place for the night. Tomorrow morning, I'll explain the game rules."
