Mingzhuo also agreed with Gu Xu's view; his background destined him to be unable to remain uninvolved.
The twin prophecy of the Nightfall Kingdom destined one of Gu Xu and Luo Zhi to die, and no matter how hard Luo Zhi tried, she could not avoid it.
The Saha Sect is so insane, always killing people or on its way to killing people, how could they possibly let Gu Xu go?
Judging from the God Lord's reaction, he had known about Gu Xu's existence for a long time, but he had just kept quiet about it. I wonder what kind of trick he was up to.
She was never the type to sit idly by and wait for death; on the contrary, she thought, "Since you want to kill me, I might as well strike first."
Taking the initiative is never a bad thing; offense is better than defense.
“Since you’ve made up your mind, then go for it. I support you. We can coordinate an attack from the inside and wipe them out completely.” Mingzhuo thought for a moment and said, “But we still need the palm talisman. I need to know where you are.”
That was the decision, and no one else could say anything more.
Mingzhuo decided to stay in the city for one night, so Gu Xu booked the best hotel in the city, and the group of people stayed there.
Dinner was also arranged by Gu Xu, who recommended a restaurant located in an inconspicuous alley.
The environment was nice, and the food was delicious; it deserves a five-star rating.
"Why aren't you eating?" Mingzhuo asked Liu Shuang when he saw her staring blankly, and picked up a crab leg for her.
Liu Shuang snapped out of her daze and said, "Thank you."
"Is there any news about my parents in the city?" She thought for a moment, then mustered up the courage to ask.
Liu Shuang didn't quite understand why she had to stay in the city for one night.
She saw that there were so many people in the production crew, and wondered if it would be more convenient to travel with them.
She had just looked up information about the "Slaying Spirits" program online and thought that with so many talented people on the show, it might be able to help her find her parents quickly.
She was anxious, feeling that every minute and every second was torture, and wished she could go faster and faster.
Mingzhuo paused for a moment with his chopsticks: "No, that's not it."
She thought for a moment, "I just felt that I should fill my stomach before I work... I guess we can't get such delicious food in the mountains anymore?"
Liu Shuang then noticed that the bone plate in front of Ming Zhuo was already piled high, which was quite an astonishing amount of food for a girl.
She politely refrained from saying anything more, but Li Wenhe frowned. "Did you eat a little too much?"
Because of her extensive ghost-catching activities, Mingzhuo's appetite is indeed larger than that of the average girl.
But a person's stomach can't grow into two at once, and she ate far more than she usually does today.
Gu Xu asked with some concern, "Is your stomach upset?"
He had just noticed that Mingzhuo seemed very afraid of having an empty stomach and kept stuffing himself with food.
Mingzhuo also felt a bit full and put down his chopsticks. "I feel a little uncomfortable, and I keep wanting to eat."
Upon hearing this, Li Wenhe quickly took out a sachet. "Have the medicinal effects of the previous sachets worn off? Luckily, I prepared a few extra. Take a sniff and see if it helps."
Mingzhuo held the sachet to his nose and smelled it; the emptiness in his stomach did indeed lessen slightly.
"Thanks." She smiled.
Li Wenhe was visibly pleased, a slight smile playing on his lips. "You're welcome. It's all worth doing for you."
As she spoke, she glanced at Gu Xu.
Gu Xu's expression remained unchanged, but he considerately brought Ming Zhuo a glass of water.
He Wangyao coughed lightly, changing the subject, "We haven't even encountered any ghosts or evil spirits yet, so how could this be?"
Mingzhuo casually replied, "Who knows? It can't be because we won't be able to eat it anymore."
He Wangyao's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly said, "Please don't say such unlucky things."
Gu Xu also said earnestly, "No taboos," his voice gentle and pleasant, and for a moment it seemed to carry a touch of holiness.
Mingzhuo chuckled. "What's there to be afraid of? I'm not going to die."
Even Gu Xu couldn't help but sigh, "You still dare to say that?"
Mingzhuo compromised: "I won't say anymore, I won't say anymore."
Ah-Xu was originally a staunch atheist, but now he has started to believe in these taboos.
However, whether Ashu believes it or not, it doesn't change his materialistic nature.

After dinner, Mingzhuo also took a stroll through the famous local night market with great interest.
The booming tourism industry in recent years has boosted the town's popularity, leading to the establishment of a corresponding night market.
Liu Shuang wasn't interested in visiting the night market, so she declined and went back to her hotel to rest.
He Wangyao asked, "Shouldn't we send someone to protect her?"
Mingzhuo: "No need."
He Wangyao felt something was amiss, and after thinking about it, she decided to pull Pei Di along and accompany Liu Shuang back.
Even though the hotel was relatively safe, it's still not a good idea to leave the girl traveling with me alone.
Anyway, he's used to staying at home, so playing games and streaming in the hotel helps him pass the time.
Pei Di refused: "If you want to go back, go back yourself. I'm going with the boss."
He Wangyao: "That won't do. Do you want me to be all alone?"
Just kidding, he needs to find a companion wherever he goes!
Never die alone!
Pei Di was eventually pulled away by He Wangyao, leaving only Ming Zhuo, Gu Xu, and Li Wenhe in the night market.
The night was chilly in late autumn, but even the cold weather couldn't dampen the liveliness of the night market.
Li Wenhe asked, "Do you feel that the production crew's location is unsafe?"
Mingzhuo wouldn't ask to split up without a reason, and he couldn't help but feel a little wary of the production team.
After all, the contestants are all practitioners; what if one of them joins the Saha sect?
Mingzhuo stopped in front of a stall selling traditional Chinese style resin dolls. One of the dolls looked familiar to her. "Who is this?"
The stall owner casually replied, "This is the male protagonist's look from the fanfiction 'Asking the Heart,' also known as Professor Luo..."
She looked up at Mingzhuo, stunned: "You...you are..."
Mingzhuo raised a finger to his lips and shushed.
Suppressing his excitement, the stall owner whispered, "Consultant Ruan, I'm a fan of yours! Oh my god, I never expected to meet you in person! Are you filming a TV show?"
Mingzhuo: "No. What is 'Asking the Heart'?"
The stall owner was a little embarrassed. "Well, that's a fanfiction about shipping couples. The junior sister is the main character, and Professor Luo, Senior Brother Shen, Tang Zhen, and others are also in it... This novel is quite popular, and Professor Luo is the most popular. This is his appearance in the novel."
Mingzhuo glanced at the doll. Luo Wenxin herself had a beautiful face with powdered skin, which matched the ancient style clothing very well.
The elaborate and gorgeous costumes, the exquisite white folding fan, and the doll's ambiguous, wicked gaze are incredibly captivating.
Mingzhuo casually asked, "Am I in that novel?"
The stall owner was embarrassed and quickly explained, "This novel was written quite early, before you, Consultant Ruan, joined the program team."
In other words, no.
Mingzhuo picked up the book and a doll of Luo Wenxin. "How much?"
