After practicing for countless hours, the water in the container was almost gone, but Wu Na still hadn't made any progress with her magic. Qing Sui was sitting beside them, reading a magazine. Liu Ming and Qing Yuan had fallen asleep out of exhaustion.
The deadlock was finally broken by the appearance of Mu Yijie. At first, Yong Shanling was so engrossed in her observation of Wu Na that she seemed a bit dazed. But when she caught sight of a figure in the distance, she immediately recognized it as Mu Yijie. With excitement in her eyes, she ran towards him.
"Uncle Shu, have you finished your business?"
Mu Yijie lovingly ruffled her hair and asked, "How are you all doing?"
Yong Shanling stole a glance at Wu Na and then looked at Mu Yijie with a hint of grievance.
"Maybe it's because of different constitutions. Wu Na hasn't shown any sign of improvement. I was completely stunned just now."
Mu Yijie took out an invitation card from his phone and said, "My cousin is getting married the day after tomorrow. I'm leaving for Country Z tomorrow. Do you want to come with me?"
A glint of excitement flashed across Yong Shanling's eyes. She hugged Mu Yijie tightly and said, "Yes, I do! Uncle Shu... Can I, can I take them along too?"
Mu Yijie looked at the other four people who were busy with their own things. He couldn't help but rub his forehead. Originally, he had only planned for a romantic trip for two. But seeing Yong Shanling's excited expression, he found it hard to refuse and reluctantly agreed.
Yong Shanling ran over excitedly. With a wave of her hand, the water smoothly flowed back into the cup. This left Wu Na completely stunned. After practicing for so long without any success, while others could do it effortlessly, Wu Na felt a bit dejected.
"We're going to Country Z tomorrow. Do you want to come?"
Yong Shanling looked at the three people in front of her with excitement. Qing Yuan had just woken up when she heard the news of the trip. "Sure, that sounds great."
But Wu Na shook her head. "Sorry, I'd better focus on mastering this simple spiritual technique in the next few days."
Yong Shanling looked at Wu Na with disappointment. In the end, the other three people agreed to go, and Wu Na was picked up by a driver and taken home.
Early the next morning, the three of them boarded a private jet and headed for Country Z. Qing Sui couldn't hold back her curiosity and finally asked, "I've seen Ye Sen hanging out with you guys a lot. Why isn't he here today?"
Yong Shanling still felt a bit dazed when she remembered that Qing Sui had confessed her feelings for Ye Sen in the forest last time. Mu Yijie was still busy with the documents in his hand.
After three hours in the air, the three of them finally arrived in Country Z. As soon as they got off the plane, they noticed a black Maybach parked at the entrance.
As soon as they got in the car, Mu Yijie sensed something was wrong. "Who are you?"
The woman didn't answer his question. Instead, she started the car and locked the doors from the inside. Yong Shanling's face darkened.
"Who sent you?"
Seeing that the woman remained silent, Yong Shanling sighed and frowned. Then she sat back in her seat. Suddenly, a strong gust of wind blew inside the car. The woman in the front seemed to notice the commotion behind her and slowed down the car.
Yong Shanling slowly raised her eyes. Her originally black pupils instantly turned golden. "Spirit servant, summon!"
Suddenly, a heavy weight seemed to press down on the roof of the car, causing it to veer off course. Fortunately, the woman managed to regain control, and the car returned to normal. However, the roof of the car was now covered in cracks.
"Wait for me to count to three, then jump out of the car."
Yong Shanling stared intently at the woman in front of her. Liu Ming, sitting beside her, was looking at her with starry eyes.
"Shanling, you actually have a spirit servant. That's so cool!"
"I learned this a long time ago, but I forgot about it. I just remembered it last night."
Yong Shanling turned around to answer Liu Ming's question. Suddenly, the roof of the car was ripped open, and a huge female samurai appeared above them. Liu Ming was completely mesmerized.
The female samurai was wearing a black kimono with gold embroidery on the collar and cuffs. She had a katana by her side and a white mask on her face, with only a bright red smiling lip visible, which was extremely eye - catching.
She took small steps and walked in front of Yong Shanling. Yong Shanling stood up, her hair fluttering in the wind, and her skirt swaying freely at her thighs. She quickly drew out a katana and pointed it at the woman in front.
"Are you sure you want to continue?"
The woman seemed a bit helpless. She pulled the car over to the side of the road. Looking at the other cars passing by, it seemed that they didn't notice their car at all.
"I've set up a barrier. They can't see us. So... who are you exactly?"
"Hahaha."
The woman pushed her sunglasses to the top of her head and leaned back against the steering wheel, looking at them. Her long red hair cascaded down, and the black stud in her ear made her look extremely bold.
She curled her lips into a faint smile. "Mu Yijie, every time you show up, you really manage to scare me."
At this moment, Mu Yijie was a bit stunned. The surprise in his eyes flashed by, and then he regained his calm expression. "Sister Yun, every time you show up, it's always so unexpected."
Yong Shanling, who was standing beside Mu Yijie, was so scared that she didn't know what to do. She quickly recalled her spirit servant and sat down obediently like a well - behaved student.
"Sorry, I didn't know you were Uncle Shu's... sister."
As Yong Shanling spoke, her head lowered more and more. But the woman in front of her didn't seem to mind and let out a soft laugh.
"Actually, it's my fault. I just wanted to play a prank on this brat Mu Yijie. Then I saw that you're a cultivator, so I wanted to see what would happen next. But things got out of hand."
"So, Sister Yun, why are you still so childish at your age?"
Mu Yijie leaned against the car window and looked at Mu Yun helplessly. Then, a slap landed on his head. "I'm only one year older than you. What? You're dating a much younger girl, and you still dare to criticize me?"
"Cough cough, Ling'er, this is my cousin. Mu Yu is her identical twin sister."
Yong Shanling nodded. She knew that Mu Yu's wedding was tomorrow. Who would have thought that she would have offended her sister today? She felt like she wanted to die of embarrassment.
The car continued on its way. When the topic of the wedding came up, Mu Yun's face seemed a bit troubled.
"Sister Yun, is there something wrong with the wedding?"
"Actually, the wedding has been postponed for two days. Something has happened."
Mu Yijie watched as Liu Ming clung to Yong Shanling. Although he was a bit annoyed, he knew that they should focus on Sister Yu's wedding for now.
"What's going on?"
"Recently, the people in charge of planning the wedding have been disappearing one after another. A body was just found recently. We've changed three planning companies, but the situation is the same. This has really put Sister Yu in a bad mood."
"Maybe the news has spread in the market. No one is willing to take on the job no matter how much money we offer. For now, the information hasn't been widely disclosed. Sigh."
Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, Mu Yun's eyes lit up. "Isn't your girlfriend..."
"No way. Ling'er has been overworked recently. And I'll handle this matter."
"Mu Yijie, come on. Are you being so protective?"
Mu Yun looked at the man in the back seat through the rear - view mirror in surprise.
"Uncle Shu, what's going on?"
Although Yong Shanling was being clung to by Liu Ming, she had heard some of what was said just now.
