When Bai Ningning knocked on the Zhuo family's door, it was Zhuo Yang who opened the door.
Zhuo Yang was as if he was facing a formidable enemy when he saw her: "What are you doing here?"
"I'm here to collect a debt." Bai Ningning walked past him and walked in. "You must have received the news before you came back, right? I put the Zhuo family last. What do you think? Are you touched?"
Zhuo Yang: “…”
I don't dare to move.
Bai Ningning: "Your family is still fighting among themselves, right? I'm here to do you a good deed and help you reach a consensus."
Zhuo Yang didn't dare to be angry or speak.
It doesn't feel like a good thing.
Bai Ningning saw the living room was open, with three elderly people sitting in the main seats. She didn't consider herself a guest at all and walked straight in. "Aren't they already prepared and waiting for me?"
The three old men in the Zhuo family are really old, but you can tell they are triplets. They look similar, with only slight differences in their beards and wrinkles.
Bai Ningning got straight to the point and said with a smile, "Sorry to bother you, I'm here to collect a debt."
The old man on the left said, "The little girl is very brave. She dares to come here alone."
Bai Ningning turned to look at Qing Huai and fanned the flames: "He said you were a horse."
Qing Huai: “…”
Zhuo Yang: “…”
The three old men were not amused by her joke at all and stared at her seriously.
The old man in the middle asked, "How should the debt be settled?"
Bai Ningning: "Young people work for the underworld, and the older generation returns their spiritual power. How's that? Pretty fair, right?"
The old man on the left looked slightly angry, while the old man on the right showed no change in expression, as if he was watching a play.
The old man in the middle laughed instead of getting angry: "You're dreaming."
Bai Ningning smiled and walked forward: "To recover your ill-gotten gains and restore balance to the world, the underworld should charge a little more interest, right?"
"etc!"
Zhuo Yang originally wanted to reduce his presence, but when he saw her walking towards the old men so casually, he couldn't help but panic and shouted in desperation.
Bai Ningning pretended not to hear anything. She gradually walked up to the three old men and said, "Come on, who's first?"
Zhuo Yang rushed to Bai Ningning and opened his arms to stop her: "Sorry, I can't let you do this!"
Bai Ningning smiled and looked at the three elderly people behind him: "You stole someone else's things and used them for a while, so you think they're yours?"
Her expression suddenly changed, and she threw the medicine to the three of them: "That's all I have to say. This is life-saving medicine. You can choose to take it or not."
After she finished speaking, she turned and left, not caring at all about the reactions of the people behind her.
"Wait!" the old man on her left shouted at her vigorously, "You're weakening the metaphysical world. Aren't you condoning ghosts?"
"I always treat everyone equally." Bai Ningning continued walking, her voice floating back ethereal, "Ghosts should be extradited to the underworld, or reincarnated, instead of staying in the human world to be used as fuel or sacrifice for you."
The old men couldn't pretend to be deep and cool anymore, so they stood up and tried to chase her, but were stopped by Qinghuai's ghostly aura.
His face was cold and his words were concise: "Three seconds, take the medicine."
Zhuo Yang stood in front of Qing Huai, but before he could even open his mouth to dissuade him, he was thrown out by Qing Huai.
The door closed, and he vaguely heard Qing Huai say, "Those under thirty are not my responsibility."
Zhuo Yang got up and looked at the door that was blocked by ghost energy, feeling extremely confused.
What should he do now?
He couldn't just rush in to save people, he couldn't beat Qing Huai.
His father has always been rational and should take medicine to save his life. Now he should...
Did Bai Ningning go to arrest the young man in their family?
Realizing this, he hurried towards the secret room where the Zhuo family hid the young man.
Bai Ningning seemed to have known where they were hiding from the very beginning. When Zhuo Yang arrived, the young people of the Zhuo family had already been completely subdued by her and were all queuing up to press their fingerprints.
Bai Ningning said without turning her head: "Put your fingerprints in line."
Zhuo Yang: "...I want one too?"
Before Bai Ningning could answer, the young people of the Zhuo family rushed to speak: "Do you think you can be special?"
"Be more self-disciplined! Line up!"
Zhuo Yang looked at some of them with bruised faces and noses, and for a moment he couldn't bear to look at them.
Seeing that Bai Ningning ignored him, Zhuo Yang silently walked to the end of the line and lined up.
After Zhuo Yang finished pressing his fingerprints, Bai Ningning casually asked, "Is there anyone else?"
Zhuo Yang didn't know for a moment whether she was asking him, so he didn't answer in time.
While he was momentarily stunned, Bai Ningning collected the book and left. "The Underworld will set up an office at the gate, and ghost messengers will be there to take over. Please work diligently and build a beautiful underworld together."
【I am becoming more and more fluent in speaking Mandarin】
[Is it proficient? Or is it still as emotionless as ever? Great reading.]
[Ningning OS: That's good enough, don't set your expectations too high.]
Zhuo Yang glanced around and realized that the Zhuo family still had a genius hidden within them. He quickly chased after them, "Wait, it seems someone hasn't pressed their fingerprints yet."
Bai Ningning: "It doesn't matter. Qinghuai will take over the rest."
Zhuo Yang was a little uneasy. Although she had heard some information from other families, she didn't know how to deal with those who shirked their responsibilities.
He thought so and asked boldly.
Bai Ningning walked slowly towards the door, explaining to him nonchalantly, "Just return the things that don't belong to him. In short, be an ordinary person."
When Zhuo Yang heard this, he was shocked.
These noble young masters and young ladies may not be truly powerful, but they are full of arrogance and self-esteem. It would be better to kill them than to make them ordinary people.
He tried to make amends: "Wait a minute, I'll bring them over -"
Bai Ningning reminded indifferently: "I'm closing the stall."
Zhuo Yang was a smart man. He knew there was no room for easing the situation as soon as he heard it. He just said "OK" and didn't mention the matter again.
He also understood why Bai Ningning was able to deal with the affairs of the big family in the metaphysical world so quickly.
As for those who resisted or escaped, she didn't care at all.
She even asked these young heirs to put their fingerprints on the document and work to pay off their debts, which was a disguised way of saving their lives.
In the blink of an eye, Zhuo Yang couldn't find Bai Ningning.
Zhuo Yang looked around for a while, and suddenly heard a scream, and immediately ran towards the sound.
The source of the screams was the ghostly aura that had not yet dissipated, and the young master of the family who had lost his spiritual power and was lying on the ground - the young master who had been hiding secretly before and did not want to work in the underworld to pay off his debts.
Zhuo Yang didn't bother to help him and asked, "Where did he go?"
The young master just cried and rolled around on the ground.
Zhuo Yang knew that he was of no use at this time, so he gritted his teeth and headed towards the reception room where the three family heads were.
Qing Huai disappeared with Bai Ningning at some point, but the ghostly aura he left behind had not completely dissipated.
The three old men were still sitting there, in the same postures as he had seen them before.
But they were all motionless, as if they had lost their life.
He suddenly panicked, fearing that the old man could not bear the blow and passed away on the spot.
Zhuo Yang almost instantly ran to the old man on the far right and squatted down, wanting to feel his pulse and breath but not daring to touch him, for fear that he would get an answer he didn't want.
The old man suddenly opened his eyes and glanced at him: "What's wrong? Did you think I was dead?"
Zhuo Yang was stunned, staring at the old man without blinking, afraid that if he blinked he would find out that it was an illusion.
The old man sighed: "I shouldn't say this, but I actually feel relieved."
He staggered to his feet, walked out with a hobbled gait, and sighed slowly, "I'm getting old. It's time to retire."
Zhuo Yang hurriedly followed and wanted to help, but was rejected by the old man.
Without looking back, he said to his two brothers leisurely, "It's time for you to come to terms with it."
Zhuo Yang turned around and saw that the other two old men were still sitting there motionless, their postures unchanged, and it was impossible to tell whether they were awake or not.
Even though their expressions didn't change at all, Zhuo Yang always felt that there was a hint of dejection in them.
Is it an illusion?
At the same time, Bai Ningning knocked on the door of the last family - the Yuan family in Qingwei Mountain.
The one who came to open the door was Yuan Muyang. He seemed to have been waiting at the door early in the morning. He opened the door almost as Bai Ningning raised her hand.
Bai Ningning was stunned for a moment and asked, "Did you know I was coming?"
She glanced at Qing Huai behind her and asked, "Or is his ghostly aura too strong?"
She didn't want to be discovered, so she opened the door to the office. It had only been a short time since she arrived, but Qinghuai's ghost aura had spread so far?
Yuan Muyang shook his head: "I heard about it, so I waited here a long time ago."
He almost thought she wouldn't come. He both wanted her to come and didn't want her to come.
He asked, "Are you going to collect a debt?"
Bai Ningning was not familiar with people from other families, so she was particularly happy when she took action.
But Qingweishan is different. She grew up here and may not have a good relationship with everyone, but making her stand on the opposite side of the Shiyu sisters is cruel to everyone.
Yuan Muyang didn't want the relationship between them to become too ugly, nor did he want Qingwei Mountain to be targeted by other Xuanmen because of its special treatment.
Bai Ningning didn't answer his question, but asked casually as if chatting: "How are you doing recently?"
"Fortunately..." Yuan Muyang had just opened his mouth when he felt a strong murderous intent coming from behind Bai Ningning.
Bai Ningning turned around and said to Qing Huai, "This is a precious white mouse sample, don't scare him."
Qing Huai snorted coldly and temporarily restrained his murderous intent.
Yuan Muyang came back to his senses and was shocked to find that he was already covered in cold sweat.
But…why?
Did he just say something wrong?
[Laughing to death, no small talk allowed]
[You are jealous, aren't you?]
Bai Ningning described the question she wanted to ask in detail: "There aren't any symptoms that might indicate sequelae, right?"
"Yes..." Yuan Muyang nodded with difficulty. After thinking for a while, he added seriously, "I can practice normally, but the progress is much slower than before. And everyone is taking good care of me. It's not as difficult as I imagined."
"Okay then." Bai Ningning handed him the Four Seasons Chronicle, "Open a backdoor to Qingwei Mountain. Everyone can choose whether to work for the underworld to pay off their debts, or spit out spiritual power that doesn't belong to them."
Yuan Muyang glanced at Qing Huai and took the initiative to mention: "After the Soul Transformation Formation lost its effect, everyone's wounds healed much more slowly."
If you calculate it this way, what Qingwei Mountain owes is not just the spiritual power for cultivation.
Bai Ningning just nodded and said nothing.
She had guessed it long ago.
Bai Ningning pointed coldly at the office at the door and said, "Tell those who don't want to work to line up here. Qinghuai will be waiting for them here."
Yuan Muyang took two steps before realizing that she only said Qinghuai was waiting here and did not mention herself.
He asked, "Aren't you going to meet them?"
Bai Ningning: "It's not time yet."
There are still fish in the dark, but they haven't come out yet.
After Yuan Muyang walked away, Bai Ningning said, "My next target is the Ghost Alliance. Do you have anything to say?"
Qing Huai said "Oh" nonchalantly and asked, "What are you going to do?"
Bai Ningning looked up at the sky and said casually, "Aren't I recruiting soldiers?"
【？ 】
You call this recruiting troops?
[People in the metaphysical world would cry after hearing this.]
[Rounding off, is this stealing the old debt that belonged to the Ghost Alliance and recruiting soldiers for the underworld?]
Qing Huai laughed contemptuously: "I'm afraid this is not good enough."
If the major families were really that powerful, how could the Ghost Alliance be so rampant until now?
Not to mention that some corrupt Xuanmen families secretly cooperate with the Ghost Alliance.
Bai Ningning held up her face and said leisurely: "Who said that I only have so many people?"
She also took over several organizations from the Ghost Alliance. Moreover, they were gradually growing in the underworld and now had a considerable scale.
Based on the concentration of ghost energy observed by the new system of the underworld, I'm afraid that the Ghost Alliance's plan to make the whole world haunted at the same time will be in the next few days.
So she predicted in advance and asked Shu Lao and his four team leaders to lead a total of five advance ghost teams, which have already infiltrated several gathering places of the Ghost Alliance.
Unexpectedly, right? The underworld has entered the technological age :)
