"I have a gathering in a couple of days. Yiran, come with me," Mu Yijie suddenly said.
Song Yiran beside him got excited instantly. As long as he could be with his little uncle and the little immortal, he didn't care where they were going.
"Sure, Uncle. I'll definitely protect you and Yiran this time and make sure that man - eating Gu Diao never gets away," Yong Shanling promised.
As she said that, Yong Shanling glanced at Song Yiran with a smile. At the mention of "Gu Diao", the latter couldn't help but tremble.
"Give me a few more of those talismans," Song Yiran said with a hint of irritation between his brows. Thinking of the friends he was about to meet, he felt a bit hesitant and worried.
Mu Yijie nodded in agreement.
Yong Shanling didn't ask any more questions. They were just a few talismans, and her boss was so smart that he must have a use for them.
On the day of the gathering, Song Yiran sat in the car, nervously loosening his collar. "Little Uncle, is the little immortal around?"
"Yiran, you're going to a gathering. Relax. Don't we have the talismans the little girl gave us?" Mu Yijie rarely said a few more words seeing his nephew's fear.
Thinking of how easily the little immortal had subdued that distracted soul, Song Yiran relaxed a lot. The little immortal was very powerful. It would definitely be okay, it would definitely be okay.
The group walked to the Yanyu Club. The waiter let them in directly upon seeing their faces.
A faint, elegant fragrance lingered after they passed by. The waiter couldn't help but wonder if the bosses these days had started to wear delicate women's perfume.
When they entered the private room, several people who had already arrived were playing cards. Those present were all the leaders of the younger generation in Huai City.
"Yijie, you're here," said a gentle - looking man in a Tang suit, sitting quietly by the tea table.
"Yijie, are you busy with a new project recently? It's been a long time since we last saw you out," came another smiling voice. A handsome, sunny man with sword - like eyebrows and starry eyes was casually playing a card while holding a cigarette in his mouth.
Mu Yijie relaxed a bit after entering. Looking at his childhood friends, a hint of worry still flashed across his eyes. Suddenly, he felt a gentle squeeze on his arm.
He knew it was Yong Shanling comforting him. He unbuttoned the top one of his shirt and said softly, "I've been a bit busy with the company recently."
The others were already used to his personality and didn't think much of it.
Only Song Yijue, the man in the Tang suit and Song Yiran's older brother, sensitively sensed something was wrong. Thinking of the talisman Mu Yijie had suddenly given him a few days ago and told him to always carry it, his uneasiness grew stronger.
Just as they were talking, there came a sudden "knock, knock, knock" on the door.
Li Zhuo showed his big white teeth. After a one - month solo voyage, he was only a bit fairer than a black person. "Did we invite someone today?"
"No," Du Sunan frowned. Song Yijue and Mu Yijie didn't like a smoky and chaotic atmosphere, so they rarely invited others to their gatherings.
Yong Shanling, who had been watching with great interest, tightened her grip on the Willow Spirit Doll. At the same time, she held the bell in her other hand, ready for any emergency.
"Come in," Mu Yijie said in a deep voice.
The door opened, and a beautiful woman led six girls in.
The beautiful woman walked in gracefully, every movement exuding a charming air.
Du Sunan took a deep puff of his cigarette, and his eyes suddenly turned sharp as he looked at the woman. "I don't remember inviting you today."
The beautiful woman, Wu Fang, panicked a bit. "Mr. Du, you told me yourself. Maybe you've forgotten."
Hearing Wu Fang's words, the others exchanged glances, suspecting that someone was deliberately causing trouble.
Just then, the girls behind the beautiful woman suddenly pounced on them without warning, one for each of them.
"Little immortal! Save me!" Song Yiran instinctively hid behind his two older brothers. Li Zhuo and the others dodged quickly when they saw something was wrong.
"Damn it, are you crazy!" Du Sunan looked at the person making a "ho -" sound.
"Be careful. These people seem to have lost their senses," Song Yijue calmly analyzed while dodging.
Suddenly, a red rope appeared in front of everyone. The rope with a dart on it shuttled among the women, and the women let out howls one after another.
"Gu Diao, do you think you can escape today?" came a delicate shout. A girl in sportswear appeared in front of them.
She was as cute as a snow - white jade, seriously controlling the red rope and constantly attacking the women.
"Wow, where did this little beauty come from?" Li Zhuo stole a few more glances while dodging, which earned him a cold look from Mu Yijie.
"A cultivator... You're ruining my good deed again!" came a strange voice from the mouths of the women at the same time.
"Humph, do you think you can hide and I'll have no way to deal with you?" Yong Shanling sneered. She gently shook the bell, and the women fell to the ground in pain with the sound. Only the beautiful woman managed to stand with difficulty.
"The Soul - Rattling Bell! How do you have the magic tool of Yun Shan? Isn't Yun Shan already dead?" The beautiful woman's voice was as harsh as sawing wood. She was so excited that she wanted to rush over and tear the bell to pieces, but she could only take a few steps before collapsing.
Yong Shanling quickly stepped forward, struck each person with an invisible palm, and immediately took out a shabby little bag. Before long, everyone saw a shadow that looked like an eagle with horns being sucked into the bag.
After collecting everything, Yong Shanling showed a bright smile. She bounced over and looked at Mu Yijie proudly. "Uncle, I told you I could protect you. Even a strange beast can't defeat me. Even if Master were here, he would surely praise me."
"Yeah, good job," Mu Yijie forced a smile. His face didn't look good.
The women on the ground slowly regained consciousness, looking dazed. Du Zhengnan contacted the bodyguards to take the girls away for treatment.
"Damn it, those were demons, right? Didn't they say that no creature can become a demon after the founding of the People's Republic? Where did these demons come from?" Li Zhuo was the first to lose his cool. His dark face showed both shock and anger.
"And this beautiful little fairy, thank you. If it weren't for you, we would have been in big trouble today. For this, I, Li Zhuo, owe you a favor."
Li Zhuo walked towards Yong Shanling, but Mu Yijie stepped in between them and pulled Yong Shanling behind him, which made Li Zhuo raise his eyebrows.
"Okay, I just mean you don't have to call me uncle. Call me brother," Li Zhuo tried to ease the atmosphere, but he still felt a bit scared when thinking of what had just happened.
The others were also a bit scared. In the real world, they weren't afraid of any enemies, at least they were all human. However, these unknown existences were the most terrifying.
"Everyone, I'm sorry for what happened today," Mu Yijie looked at them, his cold face full of seriousness.
