Chu Xisen was so angry that he said he would not help them contact the Yun family.
Unexpectedly, Chu Yuyan took his mobile phone and replied to the Yun family to confirm the time.
The other party replied very quickly, as if he had been waiting for news.
Chu Yuyan: "They said we can meet up anytime, but not too many people should go."
The second half of the sentence was specifically said to his stupid younger brother.
Chu Xisen was stunned and touched his empty pockets: "When did you take it away?!"
[This is hilarious! The Yun family doesn't have any restrictions on the number of people who can attend.]
[This is also for the safety of the idiot. After all, it is not certain whether the Yun family is an enemy or a friend.]
[The second brother wants to follow Ningning, he must want to protect her too]
Although she missed out on her childhood, in the eyes of her brothers, no matter how strong she is, she will always be a child.
Chu Xisen tried to snatch the phone back in a fierce manner.
Chu Yuyan held him with one hand and handed the phone to Bai Ningning: "They want your contact information, you can decide whether to add it or not."
Chu Xisen was so angry that he looked like he was going to bite someone in the next second, but Chu Yuyan still easily subdued his brother with one hand.
Not to mention, Chu Yuyan's movements are quite elegant.
Bai Ningning sent her cell phone number to the Yun family, thinking that it would be better to go today than to wait for another day. The other party readily agreed and said that they were looking forward to her visit.
After Bai Ningning returned the phone, Chu Yuyan called Chu Xisen's agent and asked him to bring him back to work - no matter if it was a variety show or a concert, or at least filming a movie, in short, the artist had to be busy.
The agent was ecstatic, as if he heard the sound of a large bonus arriving in his account. He responded and drove over to pick up the person.
Chu Yuyan patted his silly brother's shoulder and said, "You're old enough to earn money to support the family. Shouldn't you make more money for your sister?"
Chu Xisen was furious and helpless: "Our family is not short of money!"
Chu Yuyan smiled a slightly sarcastic smile and said something pointedly, "Big Brother has the money, Big Brother has the final say, I can't take you with me if I don't want to."
Chu Xisen was quickly persuaded. His second brother never took him with him when he went out, so it was boring to stay at home. He might as well make some money and secretly take his sister out to play.
But he still had to sell himself miserably. He glared at Chu Yuyan: "Are you treating me as a tool?"
"Yes."
He smiled slightly, looking malicious.
[The world where only Chu Xisen is injured is complete]
【Throw it away after use, how miserable】
[Stupid Third Brother has been serving tea and water for so long, but he's been bullied until now. He's been sent away before he could even drink a sip of water. How miserable can this be?]
Bai Ningning saw the miserable comments all over the screen, and couldn't help but feel sorry for him for a second. She took an unopened bottle of drink from the table and said, "Take it with you on the road."
Chu Xisen fell silent as he looked at the transparent bottle filled with healthy green liquid.
How did she choose the most nutritious, most unpalatable, sour and bitter vegetable juice that makes people question their life from among a bunch of sweet drinks?
Bai Ningning didn't notice what she was giving away at all. She was still cramming, seizing every minute to read the Yun family's information.
I didn't think anything was wrong with the sudden silence around me. I just thought that I had entered a state of concentration and blocked out the surrounding sounds.
It was not until Chu Xisen's agent came to pick her up and Chu Xisen waved goodbye that Bai Ningning looked up.
Chu Xisen took the vegetable juice she gave him and went out with a tragic feeling of being ready to die.
The agent noticed the juice in his hand and began nagging him out of habit: "You have to pay attention to your diet. Don't eat anything that makes you fat or damages your voice... Huh? You're drinking this kind of nutritious juice too? The sun rises from the west?"
Chu Xisen put on a black baseball cap and went out, saying coldly: "Shut up and don't worry about it."
Bai Ningning watched his tragic figure disappear from the doorway, bewildered: "Is he...going to be executed?"
Chu Yuyan said casually: "It's normal, it's like this at work."
Bai Ningning thought so too and continued to read the information with her head down.
The Yun family was once a prestigious family. They were proficient in fortune-telling and formations. They had all the other skills that a Taoist master should have, but they were not as outstanding as these two.
Their glory was hundreds of years ago, and the history books written by later generations make it hard to tell when they began to decline and became an ordinary metaphysical family.
But starting fifty years ago, the Yun family suddenly stopped fortune-telling. The head of the family left a sentence "Those who go against the will of heaven will be punished by heaven", and began to live in seclusion until his death.
About nineteen years ago, the Yun family moved to the deep mountains and forests and no longer saw visitors.
They still attend the regular meetings held by the Xuan Committee, but have no sense of presence, or rather, they actively marginalize themselves.
Is it just for fame or there is something else going on? We’ll know once we meet.
The two parties agreed to meet at 2 p.m.
Bai Ningning and Chu Yuyan agreed that when visiting someone whose background is unknown and whose camp is uncertain, they should try not to eat any food provided by the other party.
They planned to have lunch early and then go into the mountains and forests to visit the Yun family.
Seeing that he was in a wheelchair and had difficulty moving, Bai Ningning felt somewhat worried and asked, "What if he gets into danger..."
Chu Yuyan smiled and said very calmly: "There is no one who can make me feel dangerous."
"……OK."
Chu Yuyan knew she was worried about him, so he casually placed his hands on the wheelchair armrests and said with a smile, "It's normal for haunted places in the mountains to be haunted, right?"
Bai Ningning: “?”
Chu Yuyan added lightly, "The ghosts of Wangchuan occasionally want to come out for some fresh air. It's not certain who is more dangerous."
Bai Ningning: “…”
Excuse me.
[She said something quite terrifying in a calm tone...]
[Yun family, run away quickly——]
[Suggest moving out overnight—No, overnight might be too late, let’s run now (dog head)]
[Funny! Ningning quietly distanced herself from her second brother. She was afraid of ghosts and her character was still there. She never forgot to act even when no one was around.]
The two of them had a simple lunch, and Chu Yuyan's assistant drove them to the Yun family.
The assistant was wearing sunglasses, was tall and strong, and his custom-made suit looked a little tight. He looked like a very capable fighter.
If I had another scar on my face, I might be considered a shrew.
Bai Ningning thought about it and realized that most of the Xuanmen people she met recently had some injuries on their bodies.
Few people in Qingwei Mountain have scars on their faces, so she had never paid attention to this problem before.
She mentioned this to Chu Yuyan: "When I attended the regular meeting of the metaphysical community, several people had scars on their faces. Were they caused by catching ghosts?"
"Yes, that's normal."
Chu Yuyan always had a faint smile on his face, and he would talk with a smile no matter what topic they were discussing.
The smile seemed to be etched on his face.
Seeing her staring at him, Chu Yuyan thought she was curious about the question, so he added a few more words: "Catching ghosts is inherently a dangerous job. The ghosts that need to be dealt with by the Xuanmen are mostly fierce ghosts and vengeful ghosts. They are like wild beasts, aggressive towards any outsiders who intrude into their territory, and they will be injured if you are not careful."
Bai Ningning recalled her previous trip to Dancheng to visit the Ghost Alliance. As soon as they met, countless evil ghosts surrounded her.
If Qing Huai had not been mistaken by them as the "Ghost King", she would probably have been injured.
But in the past ten years, when the disciples of Qingwei Mountain took her out to do missions and used her as bait to catch evil spirits, they never let her get hurt or have any scars.
Was it a deliberate arrangement with careful preparation? Or was it that the strength of Qingwei Mountain was stronger than that of others?
Bai Ningning frowned, realizing something was wrong.
She just had never been hurt by a ghost. It was normal for children to get hurt when running and jumping, but she never had a scar.
Other disciples of Qingwei Mountain were also injured, some lightly and some seriously. Even Yuan Muyang was pinned to the ground and beaten seriously by Qing Huai.
But they all recovered quickly and left almost no scars.
She had been influenced by the environment since she was a child in Qingwei Mountain, which led her to mistakenly believe that the healing speed of the wounds of the Xuanmen people was different from that of ordinary people.
Is it related to the Soul Transformation Formation? Or is there some special ointment in Qingwei Mountain?
Bai Ningning made a note in her little notebook and planned to go back to Qingwei Mountain to find out what was going on.
Chu Yuyan turned his head to look at her: "Your expression is very serious, have you encountered any difficult problems?"
This was the second time Bai Ningning was reminded of her expression in a short period of time.
She rubbed her face, trying to relax her muscles, and forced a smile: "Is this any better?"
Chu Yuyan: "It's a bit stiff, you can tell at a glance."
The driver shuddered and got goosebumps.
Did his boss actually have such a harmless side? Did he actually speak with such cute interjections without sounding sarcastic?
When complaining about someone's facial expressions, what you actually say isn't "Have your facial features run away from home?"
Regarding the innocent question above, the answer was surprisingly not "Where did Mr. Living Buddha work in his previous life?" or "I can't explain it, so let me let you experience for yourself how to get along with ghosts."
In short, he never has a pleasant expression.
When they are in a good mood, they will respond sarcastically or in a sarcastic tone; when they are in a bad mood, they will just give people a look and tell them to get lost.
Bai Ningning was completely unaware of this. Although it was occasionally mentioned in the barrage, she believed more in the side she had come into contact with.
Bai Ningning looked at the high-rise buildings and shops rapidly receding outside the window, and the pedestrians on the street with different expressions.
Like most cities, it is peaceful and tranquil, and everyone has their own troubles or joys.
She couldn't help but think of several nightmares she had dreamed before. The streets and alleys were empty, the shops were in a mess, and there were evil spirits wandering everywhere.
Chu Yuyan suddenly said, "Nightmares won't come true."
Bai Ningning looked at him doubtfully: "Do you have the ability to read minds?"
Chu Yuyan still had a faint smile on his face. "Your expression is easy to guess. Staring at the pedestrians and the street outside the window, your expression gradually becomes serious and heavy. Maybe you had a nightmare about a ghost city, right?"
Bai Ningning's expression changed, and she stared at him with a fiercer look.
She suspected that Chu Yuyan and Chu Ze had colluded to create a terrifying dream for her with streets full of ghosts.
Chu Yuyan looked past her and out the window: "I've dreamt of it many times too. It's a distress signal from the underworld."
Bai Ningning's expression softened slightly, and she asked, "Do you still dream about it now?"
Chu Yuyan: "I haven't dreamed of this in a long time. My dreams now are all about the heaviest and most obsessive memories of the vengeful spirits and evil spirits."
Bai Ningning pursed her lips, realizing that she had brought up a rather sad topic.
He always smiled and treated people gently, as if even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of him, he would still smile and ask if they wanted to pick up a stone as a souvenir.
Aside from his legs, which couldn't move, there was almost no sign that he was haunted by ghosts.
So even though he was electrocuted by her yesterday and even his soul turned a little black, he could just laugh it off and not care at all.
He had already experienced, and was still experiencing, torture that was a thousand times more painful than electric shock.
Bai Ningning asked: "When did it start?"
Chu Yuyan leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, and said lightly, "I forgot. I've gotten used to it."
He actually remembers everything, but doesn't want to say it.
He is the only psychic among his brothers. He is chosen by God. He is lucky and unlucky.
The car was silent for about half a minute. Perhaps not wanting to make the atmosphere so heavy, Chu Yuyan brought up another topic: "Do you want to know what kind of person your mother is?"
He knew that Bai Ningning was uncomfortable and unwilling to acknowledge her relatives, so he deliberately blurred the relationship, making it sound like he was saying "our mother", but Bai Ningning couldn't refute by saying "just yours".
Without waiting for Bai Ningning to respond, he continued, "Actually, I don't really know her. She's very busy and often not at home. But she likes to play tricks on people."
Bai Ningning didn't mind his little thoughts and listened quietly.
Chu Yuyan spoke softly, as if telling a bedtime story: "She wouldn't tell us beforehand when she came home. One time, when I came home from school, she was hiding behind the door, waiting for me to open it. Then she put a water gun to my head, seeing how scared I was. When I realized it was her, she relaxed the moment she opened the gun and splashed water all over my face."
"Another time..."
As Bai Ningning listened, she actually tilted her head and fell asleep.
Chu Yuyan smiled and closed his eyes to rest.
He knew the feeling of mental exhaustion. It wasn't sleepiness, but a distracted state of mind where one couldn't do anything, and there was even a sense of emptiness.
Over time, the mental pressure will be extremely great and you may even face the risk of collapse.
Bai Ningning slept very soundly. The car moved forward steadily, and the driver carefully avoided any bumps that might wake her up.
Their vehicle arrived at Taiping Village at the foot of the mountain designated by the Yun family, where a vehicle from the Yun family was already waiting to lead the way.
The car Chu Yuyan was in neither stopped nor slowed down, moving forward at a constant speed.
He had contacted the Yun family in advance and asked them to identify the license plate number and drive directly to lead the way when they arrived.
Bai Ningning woke up feeling refreshed. She didn't know how long she had slept and she didn't even have any dreams.
I don't know when the vehicle stopped.
When I opened my eyes, all I could see was emerald green, and the chirping of cicadas and birdsong sounded like music.
The green trees in the forest are tall and lush. The beams of light shining through the gaps between the leaves are like stars, dotted on the soft soil.
"woke up?"
It wasn't until Chu Yuyan spoke that Bai Ningning realized she was still in the car.
She was facing the window with the car window wide open. Some mosquito repellent herbs were sprinkled around, and she could smell a faint herbal fragrance.
Chu Yuyan handed her a large light blue plaid jacket and said, "The temperature in the mountains is low, don't catch a cold."
Bai Ningning didn't refuse and put it on obediently: "How long have I slept?"
Chu Yuyan lied with his eyes open: "Not long, only two minutes until two o'clock, just in time."
[Liar, there are two minutes left until three o'clock! ]
[The Yun family is urgently adjusting the clocks. The second master of the Chu family has issued an order that the minute hands of all clocks must rotate counterclockwise!]
The next second, someone from the Yun family came out to greet her, and as if to emphasize, "Miss Ningning is quite punctual. It's almost two o'clock, exactly as agreed."
After saying this, he smiled ingratiatingly at Chu Yuyan.
“…”
Bai Ningning felt a little embarrassed, so she didn't respond or expose them.
When she got out of the car, she noticed that it was deliberately parked under the shade of a tree.
The other side is like a small city. There are no tall buildings, but there are many beautiful three-story houses with various designs. They are all very exquisite without exception, and even the paint and tiles on the exterior walls are clean and tidy.
The streets are narrow but very well designed, with even the floor tiles forming patterns of clouds and blue sky.
It seems that this "city" is closed to vehicles.
In short, the feeling of seclusion was completely different from what she had imagined.
Bai Ningning looked at the city design in front of her, which looked like a large palace, and then looked back at the deep mountains and old forests.
Well, deep in the mountains and forests, living in seclusion.
Yes, it is.
【This is a paradise! 】
[A modern version of Utopia]
This isn’t just about seclusion in the mountains; it’s about urban design in the mountains.
"Hello, I'm Yun Youshun, the current Patriarch of the Bai Family."
A man in his forties stood in front of Bai Ningning, placed his right hand on his chest, bowed slightly and saluted.
He was wearing an expensive custom-made suit, which was well-tailored and had tiny reflective materials hidden on it that sparkled in the sunlight.
I don’t know if he dresses like this every day to match the city, or if he dressed so formally today to welcome her.
She introduced herself briefly: "I'm Bai Ningning."
"Chu Yuyan."
Yun Youshun led them inside and explained, "I know you don't want to reveal your identity, so I asked them to go to the theater to watch a movie."
Bai Ningning nodded calmly, pretending to be worldly-wise.
She didn't expect that this place was not only luxuriously and beautifully designed, but also had all the entertainment facilities.
Compared to here, Qingwei Mountain is too shabby.
The underworld is also totally not good enough.
Bai Ningning didn't want to be provoked anymore, so she went straight to the point: "Excuse me, what can I do for you?"
Yun Youshun: "Don't worry, you can visit Yun Family City first."
Bai Ningning found it hard to ignore the pride in his expression and guessed that this was his design.
She praised, "Are all the Yun family so good at design? Every building is so beautiful. The houses have different architectural styles, but they are integrated into the street design to form a whole. Each has its own characteristics, but the overall harmony is great. The designers are really amazing. Could you recommend one to me?"
Yun Youshun was very pleased with her praise. She raised her head proudly and walked sideways, revealing her slender neck line.
He placed his hand on his chest and bowed gracefully: "I am a humble person, it is you who are here."
Bai Ningning gave the highest level of compliment: "Are you still accepting orders?"
Yun Youshun shook his head with a hint of regret: "No."
Bai Ningning: "I'd like to ask you to help design the Underworld's office on earth."
Yun Youshun: “?”
Bai Ningning continued, "We have built a shabby brick house at the gate of Qingwei Mountain. We are going to randomly select a large family and set up an office at their gate."
Yun Youshun was slightly interested and waited curiously for her next words.
Bai Ningning made her request in a resounding voice: "I'm deliberately trying to piss him off, so I just want to outshine him."
Yun You's eyes lit up instantly, as if he had found a confidant. He promised, "I'll take this order, and the Yun family can also cover the expenses."
Bai Ningning shook her index finger and gave a mysterious smile: "The office built specifically for them should naturally be paid for by them."
