"Four sheets. I can't go any lower."
"Three! If it's three, I'll definitely complete the task well."
"Fine."
As soon as the words were spoken, Yong Shanling skipped away with a beaming smile. Only then did Mu Yijie realize that he had been tricked.
This girl was truly more than meets the eye.
Suddenly, a servant walked in and whispered a few words.
Mu Yijie nodded and motioned for him to leave.
Not long after, Yong Shanling, who was sitting on the sofa, heard the measured clicking of high - heeled shoes, "Tap~tap~tap~", as if the sounds were hitting one's heart.
Seeing the person approaching, Yong Shanling tilted her head up with a smile. "Sister Ye, you're here."
Ye Wei nodded with a smile. Looking at Mu Yijie, she said shyly, "Yijie, thank you for sending me to the hospital in time."
"It was just a small thing. After all, I'm the host. How could I let Miss Ye get hurt on my territory!" Mu Yijie said in an unassailable tone, as if Ye Wei had really been hospitalized due to her own health issues.
"By the way, where is Shanling from? I don't think I've seen you before," Ye Wei said softly, with a kind look that was completely different from the arrogance she had shown last time.
"I'm an orphan. Uncle Mu took me in temporarily. He's the kindest person I've ever met," Yong Shanling said seriously with a sigh. "Sister Ye is also a kind person!"
Strange. She had disliked Ye Wei a bit before, but now she found that Sister Ye was also a kind person, with a lot of golden light of good deeds around her. Why hadn't she noticed it before?
Yong Shanling curiously pinched Liu Lingtong. The little puppet whispered, "So many good deeds."
After getting Liu Lingtong's confirmation, she felt relieved.
Just as she thought. Her sixth sense had never been wrong.
"So what are you going to do in the future, Shanling? Are you going to rely on Yijie to support you forever?" Ye Wei raised her eyebrows slightly, with a bit of arrogance.
"But Uncle Mu can't do without me. He wants me to stay by his side all the time," Yong Shanling said helplessly, with an expression that clearly said, "I want to leave, but Uncle Mu won't let me."
Ye Wei was at a loss for words. The look in her eyes when she looked at Yong Shanling was almost on fire. But Mu Yijie, who was standing beside them, felt a warm feeling in his heart. He lowered his eyes as if in approval.
Just as the atmosphere became a bit awkward, Mu Yijie's phone rang.
"Yijie, Li Zhuo is missing."
"What!" Yong Shanling jumped up. She wanted to say something, but before she could open her mouth, Mu Yijie raised his hand to stop her.
"Miss Ye, my friend has something urgent. I'm afraid I can't entertain you anymore," Mu Yijie said, then motioned to the butler.
The butler quickly stepped forward and said to Ye Wei, "Miss Ye, let me see you out."
Seeing that Mu Yijie had really issued an order to evict the guest, Ye Wei stood up embarrassedly. She left with a sentence, "I'll come and visit another time." Then she got up and left.
Once outside, Ye Wei regained her calm. She whispered thoughtfully, "Li Zhuo?"
After Ye Wei left, Yong Shanling, who could finally speak, took out Liu Lingtong in confusion. "It's right. My talismans did take effect. There's no way he could be missing. He only had a peach - blossom disaster this time. There were no other problems," Yong Shanling frowned.
"Could his disappearance be related to the peach - blossom disaster?" Mu Yijie said seriously.
"How is that possible? I've already blocked three peach - blossom encounters for him. It was just a mountain - climbing trip. That Uncle Hei is so dark. Even the demons wouldn't take a fancy to him!" Yong Shanling was extremely confused about the demons' aesthetics. Was this the new trend?
The two didn't dare to delay. They quickly drove to Taihang Mountain. The car sped all the way, and they arrived in three hours.
On the way, Mu Yijie had already contacted the police and asked them to send out forces to help search. The police arrived before them.
As soon as they got out of the car, a man in uniform with a big belly walked over.
"Mr. Mu, hello. I'm Wang Li. I've already asked my subordinates to search with all their might," Wang Li said. Just thinking about having the opportunity to contact the heir of the Mu family made him too excited to sleep.
"How's the search going? Any leads?" Mu Yijie asked as he walked inside.
Wang Li nervously wiped the sweat from his forehead. "Just now, Mr. Du's people sent a message saying that they found Mr. Li's backpack and some blood under the cliff... After testing, it was Mr. Li's blood."
"What about the person? Have you seen him?" Mu Yijie's throat tightened.
"We haven't found the person," Wang Li carefully avoided the word "body". It was obvious that Mr. Mu cared a lot about his friend.
"Uncle Mu, don't worry. Maybe Uncle Li is visiting a beautiful lady's house," Yong Shanling's words made Du Sunan and Guan Qingfeng, who had just walked over, feel a bit better.
"Director Wang, you just lead your people to continue the search. Don't worry about us," Mu Yijie said, then directly followed Du Sunan.
"Song Yijue is attending an international exchange meeting and hasn't come back yet. I've informed the Li family. They're on their way here."
"Little girl, can you sense Li Zhuo's location?" Mu Yijie stared at Yong Shanling with his deep eyes, making her a bit nervous.
"I can't - but my little baby can," Yong Shanling blinked and took out her Liu Lingtong. She whispered a few instructions to it.
Liu Lingtong responded and floated up. The others quickly followed behind it. At the same time, Yong Shanling pasted an invisibility talisman on each of them.
The group followed Liu Lingtong deeper and deeper into the mountain. There were all kinds of small paths and precipices on the way. Finally, they reached the top of a pit. Looking at the dark cave, they glanced at each other, then tied ropes around themselves and jumped down.
When they got to the bottom, they found a flat path, which obviously had been dug manually.
As they walked in, they unexpectedly encountered many monkeys scurrying around. They looked at each other in surprise. Finally, Mu Yijie said uncertainly, "Could it be a monkey demon?"
As soon as he said this, Du Sunan and Guan Qingfeng both widened their eyes. Monkeys! No wonder it had taken a fancy to the dark - skinned Li Zhuo. But they also felt that it wasn't appropriate to laugh in this situation.
Before they got closer, a soft voice came to their ears.
"Since you're all here, come in." They stopped and looked at each other hesitantly. Finally, Yong Shanling walked in first.
As soon as she walked into the cave, Yong Shanling widened her eyes and sincerely exclaimed, "Sister, you're so beautiful."
A girl with deep - set features and brown hair, wearing a fur suit, was sitting in the front. There were also many monkeys sitting around her. Her mixed - race appearance and wild look added a lot of charm to this beauty.
Hearing her words, the woman showed a smile. "Little one, I like you too."
