Xiaoxi is on summer vacation, but she's become quite busy and doesn't have much time to go to the Academy of Sciences.

The building her older brother Ye Aotian built for her was finally completed, and the completion ceremony followed immediately after the inspection.

Xiaoxi sent out invitations to her friends in advance. Of course, she notified all seven of her brothers except for her eldest brother, and they will all come to attend.

Xiaoxi chose the day of the ceremony to be at 10:00 AM on a weekend.

The host invited Ye Aotian to the stage to give an opening speech, thanking all the attendees and introducing the building's background and significance.

Xiao Xi glanced at her watch and frowned. Why hadn't Ye Lingfeng, Xiao Nai, and Mu Hao arrived yet?

Didn't they all stay at the second brother's courtyard on Guangda Street yesterday?

Xiao Xi then went to ask her second brother, Ye Zhongnan.

Ye Zhongnan was also surprised. "I reminded Fengfeng yesterday not to play games and stay up late at night, because I have to be busy with banquet arrangements today and won't be home tonight. Why didn't Xiao Nai and Lao Mu come either?"

Xiaoxi didn't even have time to call Xiaonai before the unveiling ceremony began.

This was an important part of the inauguration ceremony, as Mayor Zhang and the director of the branch bureau, along with other important leaders from Shanghai, were also invited.

Xiaoxi is the owner of this building. She and the leaders will go on stage together to unveil the building, which will mark its official opening.

After Xiaoxi finished speaking, she ran off the stage but still didn't see Ye Lingfeng and the other two. Several times she wanted to call Xiao Nai and Mu Hao, but something always got in the way.

She had a very bad feeling. She held on until the end of the inauguration ceremony, when all the leaders had left, because they wouldn't be attending the banquet.

Xiaoxi breathed a sigh of relief. Just as she was about to contact Xiaonai, she saw Xiaonai rushing over, her face pale.

"Xiaoxi, something's happened! Bu Luo Qingyun has disappeared!"

"Oh no, how could this happen?"

Xiaoxi knew that Xiaonai was, after all, a girl, and sometimes it wasn't convenient for her to be with Ye Lingfeng all the time.

"What about Old Mu?"

"Old Mu is injured, and he's in very bad shape."

The sudden turn of events caught Xiaoxi off guard.

Fortunately, most of the people who came today were her friends. Next was the banquet. Xiaoxi asked her fourth brother, Ye Wentao, to greet her friends, while her seventh brother, Ye Yichen, would greet the big shots from Shanghai's elite circles.

She then went to find her eldest brother Ye Aotian, her fifth brother Ye Xingxian, and her second brother Ye Zhongnan. Together they hurriedly returned to Guangda Street.

In the basement of Ye Zhongnan's courtyard, they saw Mu Hao lying on the ground, barely alive.

Xiao Xi told her second brother not to come in yet, afraid of scaring him, because Mu Hao had turned into an old stiff man with an ice pestle stuck in his chest.

Ye Xingxian helped pull out the ice pestle.

They saw that the sharpest part of the ice pestle was inlaid with a radiant crystal, which was exactly the same radiant crystal on Ye Lingfeng's necklace, and would be fatal to Mu Hao.

Ye Xingxian helped Mu Hao heal his injuries, only to discover that Mu Hao had been affected because he had lost the talisman she had given him. So she gave him a new talisman.

"Xiao Nai, how did you find out that Lao Mu was injured?" Xiao Xi asked.

Xiao Nai had been blaming herself for not keeping a close eye on Ye Lingfeng and for not even knowing that Lao Mu was injured.

"I was supposed to get up early this morning, but I don't know how I overslept."

I rushed to find Bu Luo Qingyun, only to find his room empty, and Old Mu was also not in the room.

I was annoyed that they went to the ceremony without calling me, but then I found out that their formal attire was still there, and I realized something was wrong.

I searched everywhere in my second brother's yard and finally found the injured Old Mu in the basement.

After recovering, Mu Hao didn't dare to face Xiao Xi, Ye Aotian, and Ye Xingxian, saying, "It was my fault."
