Su Yuan's words stirred up a hornet's nest. Everyone, humans or demons sitting there, showed looks of surprise.
When did something happen to the Xuanmen? Why hadn't they received any news at all?
Song Yao, who was originally handling the household register upon hearing Su Yuan's words, paused for a moment. After a while, she folded the household register again and again. With a blank face, she looked at Su Yuan and said, "What's the matter? What could possibly happen to the Xuanmen after all these years? I don't understand what you're talking about."
Seeing her like this, Su Yuan didn't say anything. If the other party didn't want to talk, sometimes asking more was useless.
But considering Zhao Zhao and also taking into account the delicate balance between the Xuanmen and the Demon Administration Bureau, after thinking for a while, he still said, "If there's anything, you can turn to anyone in the Demon Administration Bureau for help. The Demon Administration Bureau and the Xuanmen are indispensable to each other. There's no need to be scrupulous about such things."
"I, of course I know." Song Yao lifted her chin, but the hand under the table tightened.
Lu Chukong was sitting beside her, constantly paying attention to Song Yao's every move. Naturally, this little action couldn't escape his eyes.
He reached out and held Song Yao's hand, patting it comfortingly. No matter how much Song Yao struggled, he just clung on stubbornly. So Song Yao just let him be.
Only the blush on her ears that had just faded not long ago spread again.
Gossiping was in Fufeng's nature. Seeing these two flirting right under his nose, he craned his neck so long.
Unexpectedly, his movement was too big and was noticed by Song Yao. He got a fierce glare from her and then reluctantly withdrew his gaze.
"Anyway, there's nothing wrong with the Xuanmen. Don't talk nonsense in front of Zhao Zhao, so as not to worry her." Song Yao adjusted her posture, showing the aura of the eldest miss of the Song family, and told Su Yuan, "Also, although I've agreed to your relationship, it doesn't mean you can treat my sister carelessly. You can't skimp on any of the subsequent procedures for her!"
Su Yuan, who had finally won the beauty's heart, was being extremely nice to Zhao Zhao's family at this moment. He also wanted Song Yao to feel at ease handing Zhao Zhao over to him, so he naturally agreed to everything.
Moreover, he would never let Zhao Zhao suffer in these matters. How could he bear to?
Song Yao had said all she needed to say. She double - checked in her mind uneasily to make sure she hadn't forgotten anything. Then she cleared her throat and put forward her opinions on the proposal ceremony that Su Yuan had initially proposed.
The atmosphere became lively. A group of demons mixed with humans had a heated discussion about Su Yuan's proposal.
Su Yuan listened extremely attentively. When he heard the key points that were emphasized, he even magically took out a palm - sized notebook and carefully wrote them down.
This sight amazed demons like Nan Jia. They had never seen their boss so serious even when summoned by the Heavenly Dao...
Su Yuan was completely unaware of the various surprised looks. Afraid of missing any details and making the subsequent proposal less than perfect, his pen moved quickly as he also made annotations on it.
Nan Jia nudged Fufeng's arm beside him and whispered, "No wonder people say watching a house on fire is as distressing as losing one's life. I think our boss is really something, tsk tsk."
Fufeng nodded in deep agreement.
This discussion about Su Yuan's proposal and even how to arrange the wedding banquet lasted for more than two hours. When Su Yuan reluctantly closed his notebook and went to find Zhao Zhao, she had already fallen asleep in the chair.
Maybe because she had over - exerted herself in the past few days, the little leaf that she had hidden well for months was now unguarded and exposed.
Seeing this, Su Yuan couldn't help but reach out and touch the little green leaf. Zhao Zhao trembled slightly because of his touch.
After satisfying his little bit of mischief, Su Yuan let out a soft laugh and used his magic to cover the little leaf.
"Um... Are you done?" Zhao Zhao was woken up by Su Yuan's action. Rubbing her sleepy eyes, she naturally reached out and wrapped her arms around Su Yuan's neck, softly leaning against his chest.
"Yes, let's go back to sleep. I'll carry you out." With the gentle and charming beauty in his arms, Su Yuan was extremely satisfied. Now he just wanted to carry his future little wife back and hide her away.
This state of mind was a bit like the emperor in the story who no longer attended the morning court.
However, Su Yuan's wish was doomed to be in vain. Suddenly, Taotie's voice exploded in the quiet movie theater.
"Stupid master! You've been saving people and don't care about this young master's life, right?! Hurry up! If you don't come soon, that woman will be strangled to death! This young master! I... You hurry up..."
Taotie's noisy voice was intermittent. After shouting for a while, it completely disappeared.
Zhao Zhao, who had been sleepy just now, was completely awakened by Taotie's shout and was startled.
She instinctively struggled to push Su Yuan away and jumped to the ground. In a daze, she remembered what Taotie had said. Suddenly, her nerves tightened and she immediately thought of the unresolved matter of the Zhuang family!
"Oh no! I actually forgot about this!" As she said this, she was about to rush out in a hurry. Su Yuan stood beside her, reached out his arm to stop her and pulled her into his arms.
"What's going on? Zhao Zhao, don't panic. Take your time."
Only then did she notice Su Yuan standing beside her. There was no time to explain. "Do you still remember the matter of Zhuang Ming?" Seeing Su Yuan nod, Zhao Zhao grabbed his hand and ran away in a flash. "Come with me first. It's related to this."
In the hurry, she even forgot that magic couldn't be used in the human world. Su Yuan was dragged away by Zhao Zhao. He shook his head helplessly. It seemed that he had to prepare a fine for his careless little wife.
He quickly got into the role.
They rushed all the way to the hotel where Jiang Yun was staying. The door of Jiang Yun's room was ajar. From time to time, there came a few painful moans and Taotie's impatient voice.
Maybe the commotion here was too big. From time to time, someone would stick their head out from the neighboring rooms to watch. Some people were even wondering whether to call the police.
Seeing this, Zhao Zhao quickly said to the person who was muttering about calling the police, "Thank you, but there's no need to call the police. The person inside is our friend. She just got divorced and is a bit mentally broken right now. We're very sorry for disturbing you."
After hearing this, the residents on the same floor were no longer curious. People in big cities were always very busy and didn't have much extra time to care about a strange woman who had just broken up.
After seeing them all go back to their rooms, Zhao Zhao pushed the door open and went in.
Su Yuan followed closely behind. He looked around and suddenly moved his fingers to set up a barrier, blocking all the sounds in this room to prevent anyone from hearing and causing any accidents.
In the hotel room, Taotie, in the form of a little boy, was constantly circling around the disheveled woman on the ground, looking completely at a loss.
Zhao Zhao didn't dare to delay. This Jiang Yun was related to the formation on Zhuang Ming's body, so she couldn't let anything happen to her.
She raised her hand and placed it on the woman's forehead to make her calm down for a short while. When she saw a totem on her left shoulder, she was shocked.
"A curse of resentment?!" With such a heavy aura of resentment, it seemed that it was Zhuang Ming's mother who had cast it.
This curse of resentment was extremely powerful. Once the cursed person had an attack, they would wish they were dead. It was not strange for a ghost with a deep resentment to use it.
But Zhao Zhao couldn't understand why Zhuang Ming's mother had used it. Although this curse was powerful, it would expose her. She should have known that someone was looking for her, so she had taken Zhuang Tingzheng away. But now, why did she take the risk of being tracked and activate the curse?
Could it be that... something uncontrollable had happened on her side?
