Guo Ruihuai wisely swallowed back the complaint that had just slipped out.

What could he say? His life and fortune were in someone else's hands; did he have any room to resist?!

"How can we believe that you haven't added anything else to this barrier?!"

Guo Ruihuai felt that such suspicion was perfectly justified.

To put it bluntly, we're all old foxes, so why pretend to be ghosts?

People are naturally driven to strive for their own interests. If it's just about harming oneself to benefit others, who would do it?!

Especially Hu Yue on the other side, she said it was for the peace of this mountain forest, but does that mean she's really just a naive, innocent, and harmless fool?!

Tsk, those evil cultivators who died at her hands would probably jump out of their coffins right now and fight the person who said that to the death!

He couldn't feel completely at ease even with Hu Yue, let alone this young girl in front of him, a complete stranger they had never met before.

If there is the slightest carelessness, the consequences could be utter ruin!

“If you’re worried, you don’t have to agree!” Song Mengmeng didn’t play by the rules Guo Ruihuai had in mind. She had originally planned to go back and catch up on her sleep, but this guy in front of her stopped her.

What annoyed her even more was that after this person stopped her, he didn't talk about anything important, but just kept babbling on about these trivial details and intricacies, which was incredibly annoying!

"I think Mr. Guo, you may have some misunderstanding about the current situation!"

I never intended to force you. I was just offering a suggestion for a peaceful resolution to the current problem. Whether you accept it or not is entirely your choice.

You can agree to this, which will minimize the chances of you causing us trouble after you leave, so that everyone can be at peace; but if you feel that this agreement is not appropriate, you are perfectly free to say no to this proposal!

There's no need to force yourself like that!

Song Mengmeng's words almost made Guo Ruihuai faint from anger.

What kind of talk is that?!

What do you mean by "no coercion, purely voluntary"?

This is clearly a unilaterally imposed, unreasonable clause by this girl in front of us. When was it discussed with them?!

Guo Ruihuai thought this way, so he naturally voiced his protest directly. However, this protest only made things worse; Song Mengmeng's impatience became even more apparent. She snorted and looked at Guo Ruihuai as if he were an idiot, calmly asking, "When you're slaughtering a chicken, do you go back and discuss with the chicken how to kill it?"

That's quite a blunt statement!

But it's surprisingly suitable for the current situation!

Even though Guo Ruihuai's face had turned a deep purplish-red, it was still true that his strength was inferior to Song Mengmeng's. In that case, in the eyes of this young girl, wasn't he just a chick waiting to be slaughtered?

The weak have no voice in front of the strong.

Moreover, the difference in strength between them is so terrifyingly vast.

This time, Guo Ruihuai shut up completely, obediently chose to compromise, accepted Song Mengmeng and Hu Yue's conditions, and agreed to the establishment of the restriction.

With this turn of events, Guo Ruihuai was completely humiliated. On the same day he set up the restriction, he decisively left the small village where the film crew was staying, as if staying there for another day would be the death of him.

Neither Song Mengmeng nor Hu Yue paid much attention to his reaction. For someone like Guo Ruihuai, who always looked down on everyone, such a setback was practically devastating.

Therefore, given Guo Ruihuai's temperament, it was naturally impossible for her to stay for long.

If he could, he would even want to destroy the evidence and make everyone believe that he had never been there.

Not long after Guo Ruihuai left, the Luo family also left, leaving only Du Jinyuan and his companion, who lingered there. This surprised Song Mengmeng and the others.

However, they didn't have to think about it for long before the two Taoist masters came to them.

"Well, given your strength, you should be able to handle that person, that..."

Du Jinyuan hesitated for a long time before tentatively speaking to Song Mengmeng. However, before he could finish his stammering words, Song Mengmeng saw through his plan and directly said what he hadn't yet uttered: "You want to do something to Wang Lun, no, I should say, to those ghost infants on Wang Lun?!"

"Ahem, it's not us. You know the capabilities of my fellow disciples. We're fine with serving these bosses and making a living, but if it comes to actually doing something, we really wouldn't dare."

Unlike Guo Ruihuai, Du Jinyuan didn't harbor resentment after each loss and only wanted to find an excuse to get revenge!

After realizing the gap between himself and Song Mengmeng and the others, he simply gave up and gave up!

So at this moment, his attitude towards Song Mengmeng was as frank as could be.

"So what do you want to do?" Song Mengmeng tilted her head, puzzled.

Since they can't control it, why are they so interested in this?!

"As you both know, we are currently employed by the Luo family. That young lady from the Luo family is now infatuated with Wang Lun to the point of obsession; you could say she'd even risk her life for him!"

This young lady has done similar outrageous things before, but never as outrageous as this time.

The young girl couldn't see through Wang Lun's true nature, but the heads of the Luo family were no pushovers. The reason they hadn't acted against Wang Lun yet was twofold: first, they were afraid of damaging the jade vase while chasing a rat; second, they hoped to let this young ancestor of the Luo family see Wang Lun's true nature, so as not to cause trouble with the family over something as trivial as this.
