During several roadshow events, Yi Mu did not see Leng Jia.
Logically speaking, given her current immense popularity, the film crew wouldn't abandon her.
But after touring several cities, there was no sign of Leng Jia.
Later, Yi Mu received inside information from Bei Zhu that Leng Jia's company had terminated her contract.
This happened without warning, and everyone found it strange, but no one in the industry dared to sign her, as it was rumored that she had offended a powerful figure.
The Leng family was a prominent family, but no one dared to disobey that important figure.
Leng Jia was blacklisted by this industry. She had no events, no directors asked her to act, and she wasn't even invited to shoot the lowest-quality commercials.
Yi Mu wasn't sure if it was those two men who were behind it; they hadn't seen each other for half a month.
Yi Mu's going out to work seemed to be tacitly approved, with someone secretly protecting him, and all overt and covert threats were eliminated.
After the tour ended, Emu returned home.
The villa was filled with many more people, mostly elderly men, even older than the head of the Xuanmen family.
Yan Shengchao and Yan Shengzhou were wearing the magnificent Taoist robes that Yi Mu was familiar with, and their hair was combed up to the top of their heads, revealing their smooth foreheads.
A long table had been added to the living room, with the group of old men sitting on either side. On the table sat eerie white candles, their flames flickering.
Yan Feng sat in the middle. When he saw Yi Mu enter, he said in a deep voice, "Uncles and elders, everyone is here. The ceremony can begin."
An elderly man stood up shakily, supported by a young man in a Xuanmen uniform.
Before Yi Mu could figure out what this scene meant, the old man walked up to Yan Shengchao and Yan Shengzhou.
Without him making any move, Yan Shengchao and Yan Shengzhou clutched their chests and knelt down in pain.
Yi Mu didn't react for a moment. Yan Feng came down from the head of the table and walked up to Yi Mu.
It was the first time he had seen that face up close, and it was truly a face of unparalleled allure. No wonder it had captivated his two sons.
Then look at Yan Shengchao and Yan Shengzhou. They were clearly in excruciating pain, but in order not to worry the fox demon, they endured it without making a sound. These two good-for-nothing sons!
Yan Feng's eyes were like icicles, piercing Yi Mu's face.
"They are now being subjected to the highest punishment in the Xuanmen. As long as I don't call a halt, they will die from broken meridians. Choose one of them and I will release the other."
Yan Shengchao and Yan Shengzhou are both geniuses that only appear once every hundred years in the Xuanmen (Taoist sect).
If the two brothers join forces, the Xuanmen's lofty status will not be limited to the demon-slaying world.
One day, the Yan family members will be all over the world, and then there will be no more obstacles.
The two brothers had a close relationship since childhood, but they rarely had any conflicts.
Yan Feng was preparing to retire and step down, but unexpectedly, Yi Mu, this scourge, appeared.
He had originally planned to use the power of the Yun and Leng families to put pressure on the two brothers, but he didn't expect them to be so capable, easily getting rid of those two families.
Thus, Yan Feng had no choice but to resort to this desperate measure.
Even brothers cannot share a lover.
Criminal law is just an excuse, Yan Feng understands, and Yan Shengchao and Yan Shengzhou understand it even better.
They also wanted to know how Yimu would choose if faced with a question like, "If your mother and wife both fall into the water, who would you save first?"
After Yan Feng finished speaking, he waited for Yi Mu's reply.
Yi Mu remained remarkably calm, and he incisively grasped the crux of the problem.
"Since you can decide your son's life or death, why should I have to make the choice?"
His question caused an instant silence in the living room, with only the rapid breathing of Yan Shengchao and Yan Shengzhou remaining.
