The gatekeeper has come to ask for help. As the national master who has to maintain the safety of the Daqian Kingdom, Feng Sinan cannot refuse his request.

Shuyin was very dissatisfied. After Feng Sinan and Men Du left, she couldn't help but complain to Yuxia: "Our master is a high-ranking national teacher, but now he has fallen to a Taoist priest who catches monsters for others. Does the emperor of Daqian take our master seriously? If he is not satisfied with our master, our master can just leave. There are many emperors who ask our master to be the national teacher."

Yuxia frowned and said, "If the master hears this, you will be scolded again."

"I'm not wrong. Just like the last time when the master had to help with a small matter like filling a tooth, don't you think the emperor treats the master like a servant?"

Yuxia sneered: "The master has not complained, why do you have to defend him?"

"I just feel sorry for the master. When the master comes back, we will persuade him to leave Daqian Kingdom together, okay?"

Yuxia directly exposed her thoughts: "I think you want to leave. You don't want to see Princess Xueyu pestering the master, and you are worried that the master will fall in love with her."

"you……"

Shuyin stamped her feet in anger: "I don't have such an idea."

"Master, you have something to do in Daqian country, so you can't leave. Just give up on this idea."

Yuxia didn't say much to her and went upstairs to prepare cinnabar and talisman paper for her master.

Feng Sinan really had no plans to leave, and ever since he heard Mu Nanjin's thoughts, he had even less intention of leaving.

Seeing that he hadn't said anything, the gate supervisor asked, "Master, I want to ask, are there really monsters in this world?"

Feng Si Nan said calmly: "Yes."

The gatekeeper had no doubt about the state master who could call the wind and rain: "Are there many monsters?"

"Not many. One could even say that there shouldn't be any monsters in Daqian."

"But I heard from Mu Nanjin's inner voice that there is a monster in the prison, and there is also a monster next to her. There are also two other monsters, one of which has not yet taken shape, and the other is the monster that killed Du Bianxiu."

As the imperial master, Feng Sinan naturally knew the strange man imprisoned in the prison. As for the monster beside Mu Nanjin, it should be her horse.

He was sure that the horse had become a spirit.

No one knows where the other shapeless monster is.

No matter what, these monsters shouldn't be here, but they are here.

It seems that since everyone was able to hear Mu Nanjin's inner voice, many uncontrollable things have happened in the Daqian Kingdom.

"This matter needs to be investigated thoroughly."

Feng Sinon said no more.

All the people killed by the monster were placed in the charity cemetery. Due to the hot weather, some of the bodies had already rotted, and the stench of corpses could be smelled before entering the house.

Feng Sinan ignored the stench and walked around the room before going out. He didn't need to use a needle to examine the body to tell that there was evil spirit hidden in it.

Mendu came out, holding his nose. "Master, do we still need to use a needle to perform an autopsy?"

"They were all killed by the monster, but I don't know where the monster is hiding. I need to go back and prepare some things to find it."

Feng Si Nan took out a purple brocade bag from his arms and handed it to the gatekeeper: "Before that, I have to trouble the gatekeeper to help me give the brocade bag to Guard Mu and tell her that I will take her with me to catch monsters in the future. Please ask her to find me at Dengxing Pavilion at midnight tonight."

"Guard Mu? Mu Nanjin?"

The gate supervisor took the brocade bag and put it around his waist.

"Yes, and you must wait until she is off duty and comes out of the captain's house with her horse before giving it to her."

Although the gatekeeper didn't know why this happened, he still did as Feng Sinon said.

When it was almost time to get off duty, he rode his horse to the gate of the Duwei Mansion to wait for her.

The Jinyiwei who came out of the Duwei Mansion came out in groups like fish rushing into the sea.

However, Mendu still spotted Mu Nanjin in the crowd at a glance.

For no other reason than that her horse was too - dazzling.

Under the setting sun, the horse armor gleamed with golden light, and everyone tried to avoid it.

The gatekeeper was almost blinded by the light. If he hadn't been on a mission, he would have really wanted to turn around and leave.

"Mendu."

Mu Nanjin saw the tall Mendu at a glance, and she led the horse to him.

Mendu couldn't look directly at her horse. He lowered his head and took out the brocade bag and handed it to Mu Nanjin: "This is the brocade bag given to you by the national teacher. He said that you should go to Dengxing Pavilion to find him at midnight tonight."

[Giving him gifts and visiting him in the middle of the night, could it be that he wants to do something to me…]

[It's a good thing no matter what. ]

Mu Nanjin nodded: "I will be there on time."

Gatekeeper: “…”

Don't think too much.

He only wanted to fight goblins with you.

Suddenly, Heitan screamed madly: "Whoa whoa whoa—"

When it saw the fear in Jinnang's eyes, it hurriedly raised its front hooves and rushed out, knocking several Jinyiwei to the ground.

In the blink of an eye, he disappeared.

The guardian asked, "Your horse ran away, so you didn't chase it?"

“It will come back.”

Mu Nanjin calmly took the brocade bag and looked at the golden runes embroidered on it, with a hint of mockery in his eyes.

[A broken talisman can scare you away, what a useless thing. 】

[I will tame you well after I return.]

Broken talisman?

Only then did the gate supervisor discover that there were talismans embroidered on the brocade bag.

Why did the imperial teacher scare Mu Nan's horse away when he gave her the talisman, but why didn't the surrounding horses run away? Mu Nan Jin opened the brocade bag and found it was empty.

[What does Feng Sinon mean by this? Are you giving me self-defense? ]

[But why do I feel like he is blaming me for asking Mendu to ask him for help, so he deliberately asked Mendu to send the magic bag to scare my horse away. ]

The more Mu Nanjin thought about it, the more this seemed possible.

[Knowing that my horse is a monster, he still specially asked the gate supervisor to send a demon-exorcising talisman at this time. If this isn't intentional, what else could it be? ]

Mendu: “!!!!”

Her horse is a demon! Her horse is actually a demon! So when she said "there is a demon beside me", she was referring to her horse? The guard looked around and saw that the Jinyiwei who could hear Mu Nanjin's thoughts were all terrified.

Mu Nanjin threw the brocade bag into the doorman's arms: "I give it to you, for self-defense."

Gatekeeper: “…”

Without a horse, Mu Nanjin could only walk home.

After returning home, the housekeeper of the Mu Mansion came forward and said, "Miss, there are two guests in the mansion who want to see you."

Mu Nanjin asked: "Who?"

"One is Mr. Zhang, the richest man in the capital, and the other is a nanny sent by the second son of the Tang family. She said she is here to teach you etiquette."

"Teach me etiquette?"

Mu Nanjin frowned slightly and walked into the hall.

The nanny who was sitting on a chair drinking tea saw Mu Nanjin coming back, and she quickly put down her teacup and stood up with a smile: "Miss, you are back."

Mu Nanjin said calmly: "Go back and tell Tang Jingrui that I don't need to learn etiquette."

She was not interested in the ancient Three Obediences and Four Virtues. Learning them would be tantamount to disrespecting women, and she was not stupid enough to seek abuse.

"Ah? This..."

Mammy was in great difficulty.

Mu Nanjin's glance at her made her shudder. It must be said that Mu Nanjin with a cold face was quite majestic.

"go out."

The nanny hesitated for a moment, but decided to leave the Mu Mansion.

Mu Nanjin looked at Zhang Hongdao, the richest man in Beijing.

Zhang Hongdao stood up politely and bowed to her: "Greetings, Master Mu."

It was the first time that Mu Nanjin heard someone call her "Sir". She raised her eyebrows and asked, "What do you want from me?"

Zhang Hongdao got straight to the point: "Master Mu, I recently heard that you were selling the elixir for 10,000 gold. I wonder if this is true."

Finally someone came to her to buy the elixir.

Mu Nanjin sat down: "And then?"

"Ten? That's five hundred thousand gold. Master Zhang is indeed the richest man in Beijing. He is really rich."

Zhang Hongdao was stunned: "Five hundred thousand gold? One is ten thousand gold, so wouldn't ten be one hundred thousand gold?"

"Ten thousand gold per pill is the price given to officials of the imperial court. Others who want to buy the elixir will have to pay fifty thousand gold."

"Fifty thousand gold..."

Zhang Hongdao looked particularly ugly.

Fifty thousand gold coins are still affordable for an elixir, but compared to officials paying ten thousand gold coins for an elixir, it is too much of a loss.

He originally wanted to buy ten elixirs from her, and then resell them to others for 20,000 gold so that he could make a fortune.

Now it seems impossible.

He is a businessman and he won't do business at a loss.

"Master Mu, fifty thousand gold for one elixir is really too expensive. Please allow me to go back and think about it for a few days."

Mu Nanjin nodded.

The housekeeper saw Zhang Hongdao out.

Zhang Hongdao left the Mu Mansion dejectedly.

The person who had been hiding in the dark saw his gloomy expression and turned back to report the news to his master.

In the Mu Mansion, Mu Nanjin sneered.

Do you think you can avoid my eyes by buying the elixir through someone else? That's too good to be true.

Mu Nanjin asked the housekeeper, "Uncle Xu, is Heitan back?"

Xu Bo smiled and said, "It's back. It's in the backyard. It seems to be in a bad mood. It hid in your room when it came back and blocked the door to prevent us from going in. It also refused to come out."

“…”

Mu Nanjin came to the door of her room: "Heitan."

“Wuwuwu…”

There were sounds of pain in the room.

"Heitan, open the door quickly."

Black Charcoal: “Woo woo woo…”

Although Mu Nanjin didn't understand what it meant, she knew it was rejecting her.

She knocked on the door: "Open the door and let me in."

Heitan said nothing and did not open the door.

Mu Nanjin roughly guessed the situation. It should be that he was affected by Feng Sinan's exorcism talisman, and his body had changed.

She said, "I know you are a demon."

There was a clicking sound in the room, and Heitan seemed to be quite frightened.

Mu Nanjin added: "I knew you were a demon the first time I saw you, so there's no need for you to hide from me. Open the door and let me see you."

“Wuwuwu…”

The charcoal in the room struggled painfully for a while before weakly opening its mouth, but what came out was not a gasp, but human voice.

"Did Master Mu tell you that I was a demon? But Master Mu said he couldn't tell you. How did you know?"

"It's enough for me to know that you are not human. Don't worry about how I know that."

Mu Nanjin knocked on the door again: "Let me see what's wrong with you."

After a while, the door was opened with a creak.

Mu Nanjin saw a handsome man walking out wrapped in her quilt.

If other people saw this, she would never be able to wash herself clean even if she jumped into the river.

Mu Nanjin pushed him back into the room and closed the door. He asked the housekeeper to buy a few sets of men's clothes before returning to the room and sitting face to face with Heitan.

Kurotan asked shyly, "Does it look good if I turn into a human form?"

Mu Nanjin nodded.

The fact that he could grow to her taste showed that he had a pretty good human appearance.

Heitan stood up suddenly, and pulled off the blanket to let her see everything. He asked happily, "Is my body perfect too?"

“…”

Mu Nanjin nodded again.

Her figure is comparable to that of a model, absolutely perfect.

Heitan put one foot on the chair.

Mu Nanjin glanced down, then quickly turned her gaze to his face.

"Before I became a human, I imagined many beautiful bodies in my mind, just to transform into a beautiful body to attract females one day. This is also the reason why I didn't become a human. But, I almost failed. It's all the fault of the national teacher. I can't forgive him, I absolutely can't forgive him."

Heitan became very excited and particularly angry when he spoke the latter part.

Mu Nanjin held his forehead and said, "Wrap yourself in the quilt first."

"No, I want to go find the Imperial Master."

Heitan ran towards the door angrily.

Mu Nanjin quickly pulled him back and wrapped him in a blanket: "Now that you have become a human, you should follow the rules of humans, which is to put on your clothes properly. Don't let anyone see your body except me, understand?"

Heitan nodded, not quite understanding: "When I was a horse, I was also naked, why can't I be naked now that I'm a human?"

"That's different. When you were a horse, you were dressed in black in the eyes of others. People look at people differently than they look at horses."

Heitan didn't want to argue about this, so he turned around and said, "I want to find the national teacher."

Mu Nanjin said: "I will take you to find him tonight."

"You are right. Night is the best time to carry out the assassination."

Heitan thought about it and sat down.

Mu Nanjin: “…”

That's not what she meant.

Heitan suddenly said to her: "Ask."

Mu Nanjin looked puzzled: "What are you asking?"

"Ask about Lord Mu." Heitan was puzzled: "Don't you want to know about Lord Mu? For example, where did he go? Or when will he come back? And why did he leave me to protect you."

Mu Nanjin shook his head: "Not interested."

Heitan was speechless: "Don't you care about Lord Mu?"

Mu Nanjin: “…”

It’s not that she doesn’t care about Mu Qinyi, but she already knew what he was doing, so there was no need to ask more questions.

She lied to him, "My uncle doesn't want me to know about him, so why should I ask him? I might as well wait for him to come back and let him tell me."

"Then I won't say much, but you have to know one thing. Lord Mu left the capital and was not with you because he had no choice. In fact, he missed you and was worried about you. He left for you."

Heitan thought of Mu Qinyi's instructions not to tell anyone about his affairs, so he didn't say anything more.

Mu Nanjin nodded: "I know."

Unfortunately, the original Mu Nanjin didn’t know it.

The original owner felt a little resentful that Mu Qinyi didn't accompany her.

Half an hour later, the butler came back with the robe.

Heitan hurriedly put on the robe, then looked at himself in the mirror: "I have a great figure, and the robe fits me well."

Mu Nanjin: “…”

She had checked his size to see if it would fit her. "Let's go eat."

Black Charcoal said, "I want to eat grass."

He is really easy to raise.

Mu Nanjin decided to satisfy him.

I saw many people guessing that the monster beside Mu Nanjin was Mu Qinyi, or the national teacher. Everyone seemed to have forgotten a person who was not a human, ha~~~
