The headquarters in the capital, inside the conference room.
When Du Fuwei brought the news back, the leaders of various departments were somewhat surprised.
"He still doesn't believe us!"
"He wants to eradicate the Liu family without fear of incurring the hostility of other families. Where does he get his confidence?"
"Forget it, let him do it. Let's see how he manages to do it."
"Tomorrow is the engagement ceremony between the Liu family and the Mo family. He might try to sabotage the marriage between the two families."
Everyone was discussing amongst themselves when Director Zhang suddenly spoke up when the topic of the marriage between the Liu and Mo families came up.
"Captain Du, you will also attend the engagement ceremony tomorrow."
The official team also received an invitation, and although they hadn't originally planned to go, since Xia Tianqiong might cause trouble, they decided to join in the fun.
...
At the Liu family villa, core members were also having a meeting.
Liu Zhentian sat at the head of the table, his face full of wrinkles, his hair white, but his eyes were bright and piercing as he stared at everyone present.
"The engagement ceremony tomorrow night is of great importance to our Liu family, and we cannot afford any mistakes."
The middle-aged man sitting next to him was Liu Zhentian's second son, Liu Zhengyang. He quickly said, "Father, don't worry, everything is prepared. All the family's senior ghost hunters have been recalled. Even if someone comes to cause trouble, as long as it's not a fierce ghost, we can handle it."
Liu Zhentian nodded slightly. "Other families won't use Li Gui until they're certain of their success. For us ancient families, Li Gui is like a nuclear weapon, used for deterrence. We won't use Li Gui unless we completely break off relations."
“Grandpa, I think we should be careful about Xia Tianqiong. In the past few days, the videos on the internet only show his two contracted monster teams hunting monsters everywhere. He himself has not appeared in the videos. I suspect that he may have already arrived in the capital.”
The person who said this was a young woman sitting at the end of the table, who looked to be in her early twenties.
Liu Zhentian frowned slightly. "That possibility cannot be ruled out. If he really has the ability to deal with Li Gui, then he might also be the one who has been secretly killing people these past few days."
Some of the people present were skeptical of this claim.
"He's just one person, yet he dares to come to the capital to deal with our Liu family?"
"If he can deal with the evil spirits, then he must also have evil spirits. But so far, no evil spirits have descended to the human world. Only our ancient family and the government have evil spirits. Where did he get them?"
"No matter what, it's better to be careful; he might cause trouble."
As the crowd continued their discussion, Liu Zhengyang spoke up again: "Don't worry, everyone. I've installed special gadgets at the engagement ceremony. If anyone uses transformation or illusion magic, it will be detected. As long as he comes, we'll find out."
...
The day passed quickly, and the engagement ceremony between the Liu and Mo families was held as scheduled.
The most luxurious five-star hotel in the capital, reportedly owned by the Liu family, has been closed to the public since yesterday in preparation for this engagement ceremony. The reason given is for security reasons, to prevent unauthorized individuals from entering.
In addition to members of various ancient families, high-society figures from all walks of life were also invited to attend.
It was just an engagement ceremony, but they made it more elaborate than a wedding.
Chu Xu followed Mo Beihan, mingling with the Mo family members, and arrived at the engagement ceremony together.
The ceiling is adorned with a row of golden chandeliers, below which are rows of neatly arranged white tables and chairs. The entire banquet hall is spacious and bright, decorated in a low-key yet luxurious style.
At first glance, it seems to be large enough to accommodate over a thousand people.
The Mohists, being one of the oldest families, were positioned relatively close to the reception platform.
Guests arrived one after another, and at 6 p.m. sharp, the engagement ceremony officially began.
A classically beautiful woman in a red pomegranate dress walked onto the welcoming stage, holding a microphone.
"Distinguished guests, relatives and friends, good evening. Today is the eighth day of the eighth lunar month, an auspicious day for marriage. On this beautiful day, Mo Dongyi and Liu Fangfang are holding their engagement ceremony here..."
The woman had a melodious voice and an even more stunningly beautiful face.
Ordinary people just thought she was prettier than a celebrity, but the ghost hunters present all stared wide-eyed in shock.
The Ghost Hunter's contracted ghost could sense that this woman exuded a fierce and eerie aura.
The fact that the Liu and Mo families would use Li Gui as the master of ceremonies is truly unique in the world.
The people from the ancient family recognized the woman at a glance; she was none other than the red-clad courtesan of the Liu family!
There were rumors circulating a few days ago that the red-clad courtesan of the Liu family had disappeared, but isn't she standing right here now?
Its ghostly aura is unmistakable!
At this moment, the Huang family was most puzzled. Although Huang Kun hadn't come, the family's second-in-command had arrived with many clansmen. They knew very well that the courtesan in red had already been dealt with and couldn't possibly be here.
Who is this person in front of me?
Could it be that the Liu family has always had two courtesans in red?
Chu Xu stared intently at the figure on the welcoming platform, observing every detail of the other person.
He also had a bronze mirror in his pocket, and Xia Tianqiong was in the mirror space.
The delivery guy possessed Chu Xu's body, observing the red-clad courtesan through his eyes, and then relaying the information to Xia Tianqiong through his mind.
This way, Xia Tianqiong can know what's happening outside without showing herself.
The reason we came here in this way is because Manager Hu once said that those with a level of supernatural power or higher can see through face-changing techniques.
Important figures from various ancient families will attend this engagement ceremony. Xia Tianqiong is worried that Li Gui might follow, so she dares not show herself easily.
Unexpectedly, the cunning and treacherous officials from the other families did not arrive, but the red-clad courtesan from the Liu family did.
Whether she's a real courtesan or a fake one, she's a genuine and ruthless woman.
