"The four elders began their seclusion many years ago, not only for cultivation, but also to guard four things."

"Legend has it that if those four things were to come together, a world-destroying evil god would descend upon the mortal realm."

"The rumors of evil gods destroying the world have existed since ancient times and have been passed down for thousands of years, but the calamity has never actually come. Even though our ancestors predicted a calamity a hundred years ago, and the Xuanmen (Taoist sect) was on high alert, nothing happened in the end."

He Wangyao was completely dumbfounded. She originally thought it was a story of a powerful figure leading the way in leveling up, but how did it turn into a story of saving the world?

But she never mentioned that the eldest brother is so skilled in divination!

He Wangyao glanced at Ming Zhuo, and seeing that she had no reaction, she couldn't help but question, "Could it be that you made a mistake in your divination? Is there really no world-destroying evil god at all?"

Master Tingyun: "..."

How am I supposed to respond to this? Can't we even have a pleasant conversation anymore?

Zhuang Xun, after all, came from a prominent family and knew some things.

“We grew up hearing rumors of evil gods destroying the world, including my father and my grandfather, but the prophecy was postponed time and time again, and eventually not many people believed it anymore.”

To be honest, he even suspected that the four elders' attitudes were wavering. Otherwise, why were they not in a hurry for so many years before, but suddenly became anxious?

"In short, the current situation is that most people think the rumors are unbelievable, but the four elders suddenly said that they had a prophetic dream in which the sky collapsed and the earth cracked, and an evil god descended with another world, so everyone has to take it seriously."

He never expected to suddenly see such murals in the remote mountains.

Mingzhuo yawned lazily, "Since there are evil gods destroying the world, there must also be heroes saving it. Maybe every catastrophe is stopped by a savior. So everyone should eat and sleep as usual, there's no need to worry unnecessarily."

“No, I now completely believe that rumor.” Zhuang Xun shook his head. “At the end of the mural, the mysterious cult is holding a summoning ceremony, and the evil god breaks through the sky and descends from the heavens.”

Now, whenever he closes his eyes, he can feel that evil and powerful force, which makes his whole body feel suffocated, trembling and shaking with fear.

That was a truly world-destroying evil god; He was supreme, and mortals could not look directly at Him.

So he couldn't finish looking at the last mural.

Upon seeing the summoning ceremony, he was drenched in cold sweat, his clothes completely soaked.

If he continued watching, he suspected his eyes would explode and his brain would completely shut down.

This sharp intuition is never wrong; it has saved my life countless times.

Li Wenhe glanced at Zhuang Xun's pale face and frowned. "Since this matter is of great importance, you should go and inform Dean Wu immediately, instead of telling our boss."

Zhuang Xun paused for a moment, "But Teacher Ruan, she..."

“You forgot, she’s about to take the college entrance exam,” Li Wenhe said calmly. “We’re still students, and our studies should be our priority.”

Master Tingyun gradually came to his senses. To his shame, as Wu Jiao's deputy, he should have taken responsibility for such a matter, but instead, his first thought was to ask Mingzhuo for help.

That was absolutely wrong.

Even if there is some great calamity, it should be the older generation who should step up.

Mingzhuo is so young. In many ordinary families, he is still just a child in the eyes of his parents and elders.

“We’ll go back now and report this to Dean Wu and the four elders.” Daoist Tingyun stood up.

Mingzhuo leaned back on the sofa. "Actually, there's no need to be so nervous. Maybe nothing will happen this time."

Zhuang Xun gave a wry smile: "I hope so."

What he saw and heard in that cave weighed heavily on his heart like a weight.

Master Tingyun remembered something: "By the way, that Chu Yuqi has escaped. She deliberately led us here this time, intending to take the opportunity to assassinate Mr. Xu. She has already broken the law. I will contact the special department to issue an arrest warrant."

Mingzhuo seemed to remember something and said with a smile, "Okay, thank you for your help."

After Zhuang Xun and Master Tingyun left, Li Wenhe and Pei Di also decided to go home.

Li Wenhe walked over to say goodbye to Mingzhuo, and suddenly asked, "You don't want to get involved in this, do you?"

Mingzhuo: "What do you care? What do you care about that evil god? I bet that thing is extremely ugly. No, it's disgusting, I'm going to throw up."

She was acting strangely today; she actually went to the side and dry heaved.

It could be an upset stomach, or you might actually feel nauseous and want to vomit.

In Li Wenhe's memory, even if Mingzhuo wasn't exactly a foodie, he still loved eating delicious food and had a stomach as tough as steel.

Why have you become so delicate?

"Did you eat something bad, or did your body have a problem when you traveled through time?" Li Wenhe's voice tightened as he spoke.

Gu Xu's eyes also showed concern, "Should I arrange for a doctor to examine you?"

Mingzhuo: "No, I just can't stand ugly things."

"I can't stand anything dirty in my eyes." He Wangyao couldn't help but make a joke.

Mingzhuo thought for a moment, then silently gave a thumbs up: "...You could say that."

Pei Di: "Boss, you used to say your stomach felt uncomfortable when you watched horror movies. Could it be that you actually had a stress reaction when you saw those ghosts?"

Li Wenhe was somewhat surprised; it turned out that Mingzhuo really did have a stress response to the point of physical discomfort.

So, when she said that Gu Xu could purify the eyes and the soul, she truly had no ulterior motives.

"If you feel uncomfortable, don't worry about it too much." Li Wenhe frowned and glanced at Gu Xu. "If you have nothing to do, you can look at Mr. Gu more often to purify your mind."

It's just something to look at, it doesn't cost any money.

Anyway, he could never influence any of Mingzhuo's decisions.

Gu Xu smiled silently. Was he being used as a tool to ward off evil spirits?

He glanced at Mingzhuo and thought to himself, "How do you know I'm not enjoying it?"

——

When Mingzhuo came downstairs, he saw Ruan Mingying sitting on the sofa with a serious expression.

Her gaze shifted, and she instantly realized that what was causing Ruan Mingying so much distress was an invitation on the coffee table.

Mingzhuo walked over, picked up the invitation and looked at it. He found the name on it unfamiliar and looked up at Ruan Mingying questioningly.

Ruan Mingying: "The owner of this invitation is Lin Rujin's good friend, a close friend despite the age difference."

Lin Rujin is both a producer and an actress. Two years ago, she invited a washed-up actress to star in her TV series, which brought the actress back into the spotlight.

Although the two were more than ten years apart in age, they got along very well and formed a deep friendship.

Recently, the two have been frequently photographed by the media meeting up and traveling in private, which has become a hot topic on social media, and many people envy their sisterly bond.

Although the actress retired from acting early and faded from the spotlight for many years, her status in the industry is not to be underestimated, as her husband's family is a prestigious and influential clan.

This time, the other party mediated and offered to apologize on behalf of Lin Rujin, extending a warm invitation to Ruan Mingying to attend a high-end jewelry brand launch event.

Mingzhuo understood. Looking at Lin Rujin's appearance, she didn't seem to have suddenly realized her mistake and sincerely admitted it.

Therefore, this invitation must be a trap.
