The lion wanted to chime in, but it was slapped back by the black cat as soon as it roared.

The lion's huge head lay on the ground, looking very docile; it seemed it had been disciplined quite often.

Black Cat looked at his phone and gestured with his chin toward Lu Yi.

I don't know if that stupid dog understood, but when you're with it, you have to be well-behaved and not always try to climb all over it.

"Woof woof!"

Lu Yi roared fiercely twice, bared its teeth at the lion, and arched its body, assuming a fighting stance.

Lions do not accept provocation.

The cat patted Lu Yi's head and said, "Don't worry, Lu Yi, I'll have Miao Miao come back to play with you."

"Woof~"

Lu Yi released its fighting stance, its barks became cheerful, and its tail swished lightly behind it.

Meow~

The black cat naturally dared not object; it arched its body and stretched.

After the call ended, everyone in the room burst into laughter. Lu Yi chatting with the black cat was so funny.

Old Man Ye couldn't help but say, "Lu Yi is smarter than before. Maybe he really did eat too many spiritual plants and developed some of his intelligence."

Ye Mingshi said, "That's for sure. Don't be scared if Lu Yi starts talking in the future."

"I hope we can live to see that day. It's already quite remarkable that the Eight Gates have made such a leap forward," Professor Gu said with some emotion.

Lu Yi was clearly in a much better mood; it was lying on the sofa playing with the cat.

Suddenly, Mu Jin arrived.

"Young Master Jin, come here quickly." Old Madam Mu immediately called to him.

Mu Jin glanced in the direction of the cat and saw her teasing Lu Yi with her head down. He then turned around and sat down next to Old Madam Mu.

"What's wrong?"

Madam Mu said, "You handled the Pei family matter very well. Since you've already done it, don't leave any future troubles. Back then, we were too kind, which allowed the Pei family to keep the Soul-Eating Ants. It's terrifying to think about it now."

Keep an eye on this matter. I heard it all started because of Pei Ning? How are you going to deal with her?

As she spoke, Madam Mu had a probing expression on her face, clearly indicating that she had heard some rumors.

Pei Ning had studied in China, and back then the Eight Gates wouldn't have targeted a child. However, Pei Ning had always been particularly fond of Mu Jin.

Even if Madam Mu knew about this, she didn't care at all.

Not to mention that the Mu family would absolutely never want a daughter-in-law from the Pei family.

Furthermore, Mu Jin doesn't even interact with any girls normally, so it's obvious that Pei Ning's feelings are one-sided.

But if Pei Ning continues to pester him now, then he can't ignore it.

Mu Jin said, "Pei Ning is at the Flying Scorpion mercenary base... I'll handle it."

At this moment, the cat patted Lu Yi, stood up, and took him out together.

Old Madam Mu was perceptive. She looked up and couldn't help but ask, "Young Master Jin, did you make the cat angry?"

Mu Jin glanced at the doorway but remained silent.

Seeing his reaction, Madam Mu immediately confirmed her guess. She said unhappily, "You brat... is it because of Pei Ning? No matter how magnanimous a girl is, she can't tolerate any infidelity. Even if you and Pei Ning have nothing going on, you should deal with this trouble as soon as possible."

Mu Jin raised her eyes, looked at Old Madam Mu, and nodded, "Mm."

He didn't explain that the cat wasn't angry because of Pei Ning...

However, she was truly angry this time. Three days had passed, and nothing he said could change her mind. He was at his wit's end.

"Jiu Yunchi is also a promising talent. After so many years without any news from the Jingmen Sect, he has indeed lived up to expectations." Professor Gu turned his head and chatted with Old Man Tan.

"Yes, I've met that child; he's very promising," Old Man Tan commented fairly.

Professor Gu said, "Speaking of which, we were quite familiar with Maomao's grandmother, Lin Xiaoyu, back then. However, we didn't hear much about her after she retired. After many years, we heard about her again because of this museum incident. It turns out she passed away many years ago."

Old Man Tan nodded quietly.

They were all elderly and had seen many relatives and friends pass away. Hearing this, though their tone was calm, they felt a sense of melancholy and a touch of sadness.

Professor Gu added, "It seems that the connection between the Jiu family and the Eight Gates has never been broken. Now that they are reunited, nothing could be better."

As he spoke, he looked around but didn't see the cat. Then he turned his head and saw Old Madam Mu lecturing Mu Jin in a serious manner.

After listening for a couple of sentences, he understood. It turned out that Mu Jin and Maomao had a fight.

Professor Gu found it strange. Mu Jin, despite his domineering nature, was actually very thoughtful and had a high tolerance for himself. He would definitely treat his wife with the same unconditional love.

Cat is so devoted to him, how could the two of them possibly quarrel when they're together?

Professor Gu suddenly said, "Mu Jin, where did the cat go? Wasn't it just here? Go and look for it for me, and tell it's something I need to do."

Mu Jin was listening to the old lady scolding him while his mind was wandering. When he heard Professor Gu say this, he immediately stood up and said, "Hmm."

Madam Mu: "Old Gu, what are you doing? Can't you see I'm scolding him? You've already sent him away."

Professor Gu smiled and said, "What's the point of lecturing him? When young people have a disagreement, don't they all need a way to make amends? I'm telling you, if you can't mediate, then don't make things worse."

Madam Mu paused for a moment.

Old Man Ye couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Only Professor Gu's words had any effect; Old Madam Mu had clearly taken them to heart.
