709 is not peaceful

rker side, the contrast of a pampered young lady can also be quite charming. It tends to pique men's desire for conquest, but ultimately, she often ends up defeated by them.I let Yan Qin go upstairs f...Great trees catch much wind.

Our family is keeping a low profile now, but you can't guard against hidden arrows.

Xie Chang'an was tricked by Jiang Qiyun to Mount Xuwu, and we thought this matter had calmed down. But now it seems that Xie Changan still has people behind him.

However, taking the initiative to approach our family carries a certain risk.

Now that I manage the Shen family's affairs and am also a special consultant, people in the circle know that I have an extraordinary husband. Therefore, the Shen family has been getting jobs easily recently, mostly from official sources.

And my brother worked hard to launder the Mu family's assets. He donated a few important things and, through his own auction company, he auctioned off his own belongings, thereby laundering the provenance of those items.

Lin Yanqin holds the position of chairman of the publishing company. My brother entrusted all his assets to her, and she didn't disappoint him. She repaid his kindness by gradually appeasing the Lin family members and helped my brother expand his network of contacts.

Those in the know should be very clear about the fierce backlash that would result from trying to move into my home. Even with such great risk, they still aim for my place—what are they after

I furrowed my brow, lost in thought. Jiang Qiyun softly reminded me, “Gu mother.”

"Mother Gu" I looked up at him.

He nodded, whispering, "It should be to recover the mother gu. Xie Chang'an fell into our hands, and Changning's body was buried by us. They must think the mother gu is in our possession."

In the scene, Boss Zhao was somewhat agitated, and the woman was also firm in her attitude. In the end, the woman backed out of the courtyard—she didn't even dare to face away from Boss Zhao.

Both were wary of each other, afraid the other would put poison on them.

The spy returned, whispering a report to us.

It turned out that the woman wanted Boss Zhao to ambush our house and put a curse on us. Boss Zhao said it was impossible. This family wouldn't even dare to get close to the yard, let alone attack us. They are too dangerous to mess with.

Then the woman threatened to destroy his natal gu. Even the most powerful gu couldn't withstand being attacked by multiple powerful ones.

Boss Zhao didn't want his precious蠱 to be harmed, so he agreed to take things as they came. The woman dropped a sentence "Either success or death" and retreated out of the courtyard.

Jiang Qiyun nodded and said, "Follow that woman and check out where she's hiding."

The ghost servant disappeared after receiving orders. We watched as, within the orb of light, Boss Zhao inspected the main house. Before we entered, he hadn't found anything unusual. He stood at the entrance for a while and then exited the courtyard.

His convenience store hadn't closed yet. At this time, the residents around had all gone to sleep, but his shop was still doing business. He probably needed to go and tidy up before closing.

My older brother said decisively, "This guy can't stay. We have the young and the old at home. If he makes a move first, we'll be the ones who suffer!"

"What are we going to do" I asked. The other party wasn't doing anything now, and we couldn't just arrest a soul out of the blue, could we

This is our fault then.

My brother leaned in and said, "Forget the rest for now. The most important thing is to destroy his soul-binding worm. Otherwise, as Ah Liang said, the Golden Silkworm is intangible and invisible. We wouldn't even know how to strike him."

I nodded and looked at A-Liang. A-Liang nodded and said, "I can lure out that natal Gu, but I don't know the other party's cultivation level. My abilities may not be able to match theirs. The strength of a natal Gu depends on the skill of its master."

I looked at Jiang Qiyun, he replied faintly, "Don't worry."

He said not to worry, our guts were already fattened up. My brother immediately stated, "Okay, then we split into two teams. I'll go to Boss Zhao's shop and harass him. Even if he wants to go home, I can still warn you guys in time. You guys better hurry up and kill that golden silkworm!"

Aling scaled the wall again and entered the house. I followed Jiang Qiyun through the entrance, appearing in the courtyard.

The main house's door was ajar, and behind the gaping black crack, something seemed to be watching us.

Aling pulled out a small bamboo tube and made an indescribable "hissing" sound from his mouth.

Several little earthworms with golden stripes on their heads crawled out.

"Are earthworms food for the silkworm" I was a little afraid of this mysterious little creature, and I took a step back, watching the earthworm crawl towards the main house.

Aliang raised an eyebrow and said, "Who eats whom Hehe..."

Don't fool me, earthworms can't eat silkworm moths, can they

Those little earthworms crawled very fast. As they climbed up to the threshold and door panel of the main house, suddenly a gust of wind blew, and the slightly ajar door of the main house slammed shut!

Several small earthworms were immediately crushed into two pieces and fell down.

I closed my eyes, not daring to look. A-Liang's mouth made a hissing sound again, and soon the broken earthworm continued to crawl, twisting its plump body and struggling to invade the crack under the main house door.

Suddenly, there was a crashing sound from inside, as if someone was running around and knocking things over.

"I thought this house was haunted, not knowing any better..." I glanced at Jiang Qiyun.

He didn't know anything about Gu techniques, but he was now quite interested in watching Aling pull out talismans and make strange sounds with his mouth to command the little earthworms.

The noises in the house grew louder and louder, as if something was being forced out of its confines.

"The golden silkworm is venomous, and it's also poisonous itself. It holds grudges and is jealous. If other insects appear in a house, it will bite them to death," explained Ah Liang.

However, this kind of earthworm, even if bitten, can break off and continue to invade, so it drives the golden silkworm mad.

Aling pouted and said, "Sir, it's not convenient for you to be here. If you weren't here, I would go to his doorstep and pee, that golden silkworm would probably be driven mad, maybe even die of anger."

I'm so embarrassed, I really apologize. Am I causing trouble again

"Bang!"

A loud banging sound came from behind the main house door.

The door was flung open, revealing a gaping black hole that seemed like a monster had suddenly opened its mouth.

A faint golden light carrying a stench of blood came crashing down on me —

Jiang Qiyun flicked his sleeves, and a long sword materialized in his hand. A golden light surged forward, but suddenly, with a swift upward motion of his blade, he pierced through it!

The golden light faded immediately, and I could clearly see Jiang Qiyun's long sword piercing a strange creature the size of a palm.

The front claws are like a scorpion's, but the body is like that of a large mantis shrimp in a hug.

Aliang couldn't see Jiang Qiyun, he only saw the golden silkworm hovering two zhang in front of him, its skin torn and flesh ripped. His mouth gaped open like an O.

"My esteemed guest! How did you do that This shell is so hard!"

I gave him a shushing gesture and whispered, "My husband's here. He's the master of your family's great wizard. Don't be so surprised!"

Ah Liang knelt down with a thud and said, "Forgive my rudeness, honorable deity. Could you bestow that thing upon me It is a great tonic... so rare..."

Jiang Qiyun unsheathed his long sword with a flick of his wrist, sending the bizarre golden silkworm corpse tumbling to the ground. A Liang quickly gathered it up.

Heavy footsteps came from outside the courtyard. My brother's message arrived at the same time—

"Get out of here! Boss Zhao is back!!"nickers. "Sure, I'll tell our head mistress."After their footsteps faded from the door, I stared at Mu Wanchen and said, "That bite from Bai Ni, it's worth 1.5 million"Mu Wanchen let out a dismissive...
