Chapter 22

In the afternoon on the second day, a silhouette arrived in the Mountain God Temple and then left after a while .

After Mu Yi sent that person off, he smiled in contemplation . “I thought you would manage to stay calm, but it doesn’t seem to be the case,” Mu Yi said calmly even though he didn’t feel relaxed .

Apart from the small battle against ghosts, which couldn’t really count as one, Mu Yi had no experience in terms of battle, especially against humans . Therefore, Mu Yi prepared a few evil spirit slaying charms . He also tried to make some five thunders charms but failed each time . He had probably been lucky the other time he succeeded .

Maybe he needed to wait until his state of mind stabilized before he could try again .

However, with five thunders charms and the copper lamp, Mu Yi wasn’t afraid of trying . In any case, he would have to try at some point .

Mu Yi changed his clothes and descended from the mountain . The clothes he was wearing had been sent to him by Su Chongshan since Mu Yi only had Taoist robes .

Even though they weren’t valuable, they had the advantage of not drawing people’s attention . He also put on a big hat to hide his hair .

Without a hat, people could easily recognize him, and that would be troublesome . He wasn’t going to cut his hair either .

He sat down by a mountain river and thought . During the past hundreds of years, so many had died . Apart from a few exceptions, people had to choose: have long hair or be beheaded .

Mu Yi didn’t draw people’s attention . After going to the small village, he first walked to the market . Then, he went to the Su Clan, where some people had been waiting .

“Mister, you’re here . ” The person who had gone to the mountain to deliver Mu Yi’s clothes was also the one to greet him . He looked at Mu Yi in a respectful way .

“Yes, how is it going with that person?” Mu Yi replied after glancing around and making sure that there were no outsiders .

“That person is with the leader . They are going to a courtyard,” the messenger replied .

“Did they go and see the old woman?” Mu Yi asked .

“They did . Besides, he also woke her up temporarily, but that person said that we had to wait until the evening for them to finish . After killing the ghost, the old woman will be cured,” the messenger said while leading the way at the same time .

Finally, he lowered his head . He looked warm and gentle, but Mu Yi knew that the thirty year-old person was also the person Su Chongshan trusted the most . He was very discreet too .

Besides, he wasn’t weak either . Even if three, four, or even five people like Mu Yi fought against him, it would still be extremely difficult for them to win .

When Mu Yi heard the messenger, he smiled coldly on the inside . The devil can’t hide his cloven hoof . The person in question came in a hurry to the Su Clan because he was afraid that someone would unexpectedly intervene and ruin his plans .

The evildoer wanted to capture Nian Nuer before he cured the old woman . His real goal was to capture Nian Nuer, he didn’t need to kill the old woman if he didn’t have to .

The messenger took Mu Yi to a small and tranquil room in a courtyard . Nobody lived in that corner of the palace, so nobody would come and disturb Mu Yi .

Mu Yi just had to wait until the evening when the evildoer would start his ritual . Then, Mu Yi and Nian Nuer would act together to kill him .

The old Taoist Priest had always told him to either do his best or to do nothing at all .

Since he had decided to help, he had to understand his enemy . He had to stamp out the source of trouble . Mu Yi was convinced that he was doing the right thing . Regarding Zheng Zicong, Mu Yi had planned to strike first to gain the advantage .

If Su Yingying hadn’t said anything to him, he wouldn’t have let Zheng Zicong off easily . Of course, Mu Yi wouldn’t care about Su Yingying’s words if Zheng Zicong kept offending him . He was only giving Su Yingying face by doing nothing .

In the evening, a servant came to give him food and drinks . The servant also told Mu Yi that Su Chongshan was sorry for not coming to visit him since he didn’t want to risk alerting the enemy . He hoped that Mu Yi wasn’t angry .

Mu Yi didn’t find it strange . Su Chongshan wasn’t someone who cared about face that much . He cared about results .

At the same time, in another part of the Su Clan’s residence, Zheng Zicong came out of a room looking furious .

Zheng Zicong wasn’t stupid . He had studied abroad and understood people . He knew when they were evil . Of course, he also knew to sail with the wind . Zheng Zicong liked to bully the weak and fear the strong anyway .

If Mu Yi had cured his grandmother, Zheng Zicong would have trusted him and stopped offending him . However, Mu Yi had left looking dispirited the previous time . Now, Zheng Zicong couldn’t help but have the feeling that Mu Yi was a crook .

After all, Su Yingying had told him of Mu Yi’s failure . That was all that mattered . Whether he could heal some people or not had nothing to do with him, and he didn’t care . In his eyes, Mu Yi wasn’t any better than all the other Buddhist monks and Taoist priests they had called before .

Su Yingying and Su Jinlun didn’t say anything about what happened that night . They just told everyone they didn’t go into the building and just waited outside . They told them that they knew nothing about what had happened, which made Zheng Zicong even more convinced that Mu Yi was a crook .

So now that the Taoist priest they called had managed to make the grandmother wake up for a short time, Zheng Zicong trusted him more than Mu Yi .

Besides, the Taoist priest had also said that using blood for rituals was ridiculous, so Zheng Zicong was even more furious . He now thought that Mu Yi had done that on purpose to harm him . He didn’t entirely trust the Taoist priest, but he still went to Mu Yi’s room .

Zheng Zicong passed in front of a flowerpot and saw some blood stains . He understood that Mu Yi initially didn’t need his blood . He had just wanted to make him suffer .

After that, he looked even more furious . He hated Mu Yi . He wanted to kill him .

But in the end, he didn’t become a slave of his temper and kept calm . He knew that this was a crucial moment for his clan . It wasn’t the right time to do anything . After a few days, he would see his grandmother recover, and by then, nobody would think about Mu Yi anymore . Then, he could find an opportunity to exact his revenge .

Mu Yi didn’t know what Zheng Zicong was thinking . But even if he did, he wouldn’t take it to heart . He didn’t care about Zheng Zicong or his father . He didn’t care about how powerful they were either . After all, they were beyond the reach of his power . However, Mu Yi would not fear them in the future .
