Mu Tiantian returned to Mu Yu's office.
His desk was completely smashed, with the teapot and cups on it shattered, and wall decorations scattered on the floor, leaving the place in complete disarray.
Mu Tiantian was quite surprised and couldn't help but ask, "Was your place... burgled?"
She had only been gone for about ten minutes.
Mu Yu smiled but remained silent upon hearing this, instead looking at Huo Jixiu.
Mu Tiantian followed his gaze and saw Huo Jixiu calmly put on his Buddhist beads, and the powerful resentment on his body instantly disappeared.
But Yang Han behind him seemed to be quite frightened; his lips had turned pale.
Seven Universes: [These things suddenly broke down because they were affected by Huo Jixiu's resentment.]
Mu Tiantian: [Why does he still harbor resentment? And why can he still use ghost magic?]
Qi Tong: [This...maybe there was a problem with the system's detection back then. But that shouldn't be the case; such intense resentment should be rejected by the body. Could it be a detection error caused by the world upgrade? Could that be the reason he can't stand up?]
Mu Tiantian: [How should I know? You guys are such a rip-off.]
Qi Tong dared not speak.
After a while, Gu Yichen also came back.
Mu Yu looked at the two of them with genuine curiosity, "What exactly did you two talk about outside?"
He could clearly sense that Huo Jixiu was using ghost magic to eavesdrop on their conversation, and during this time, the things in the room would occasionally be affected by Huo Jixiu's emotions, exploding and breaking apart.
It's clear that Huo Jixiu must have heard something to be so angry.
"We talked about some personal matters." Mu Tiantian didn't want to continue the topic and walked up to Huo Jixiu.
She smiled and asked, "Mr. Huo, my ghost-catching skills are also quite good, and the price is reasonable. I hope you can consider me."
Huo Jixiu looked at her smiling face, glanced at Gu Yichen behind her with an unpleasant expression, and then stared into her bright eyes, asking in a calm voice, "Aren't you going to help your boyfriend?"
"Did I say I wouldn't help? I can handle both of your orders by myself and get them resolved within a week, no problem." Mu Tiantian was confident of this.
When Huo Jixiu saw that she did not deny her relationship with Gu Yichen, that inexplicable feeling of anger surged up again.
Mu Yu couldn't sit still any longer. "Miss Mu, don't bite off more than you can chew."
"Then let's have a contest. Whoever clears out the ghosts first, the loser will not only have to acknowledge the winner as their master, but also have to serve the winner and make money. The profits from catching ghosts will be split in half. Are you willing to bet?" Mu Tiantian deliberately provoked him.
"What's there to be afraid of? But I have a condition: if you lose, you must become her disciple and my grand-disciple." Mu Yu's competitive spirit was aroused by her, and he pointed to Han Mu Ning next to him.
Han Mu Ning blinked her big eyes, completely bewildered. What did this have to do with her?
“Okay, I’ll add a condition too. If you lose,” Mu Tiantian said, pointing at Han Muning, “she will be my apprentice, and you will be her apprentice and call me Grandmaster Grandmother.”
Upon hearing that Mu Yu would become her apprentice, Han Mu Ning agreed even faster than he did, nodding her head like a rattle drum, "Okay, okay, okay."
"Ahem!" Mu Yu glanced at her.
Han Muning shut her mouth and looked away.
Mu Tiantian smiled slightly, "Master Mu, are you willing to bet?"
"Let's gamble then, I'm not afraid of you."
Seeing that her goal had been achieved, Mu Tiantian stated her requirements: "You can set the price for each evil spirit. As for the final competition, the winner is the one who captures the most evil spirits in the shortest time. As for whether you want to go to Lixing Water Garden or Jingxiang Hotel, it's up to you."
“Yes, yes, I’ll be the referee.” Han Muning was in high spirits.
Mu Tiantian readily agreed, "Okay."
Mu Yu narrowed her eyes as she looked at Han Mu Ning, her tone slightly reproachful, "Little traitor, you're siding with outsiders."
Han Muning said in a serious tone, "Master, the reason I became your disciple was because you are the best in this industry. So you have to prove yourself and prove that your disciple's judgment was correct. Otherwise, if others laugh at me for having poor judgment in choosing you as my master, wouldn't that be a slap in your face in the end? Right?"
"Go away, you're the old man." Mu Yu was provoked by Han Mu Ning and readily agreed to Mu Tian Tian's suggestion. "300,000 for a single evil spirit. Don't say I'm not taking care of you. Li Xing Shui Yuan is a graveyard with a large number of evil spirits. I'll go there to avoid being accused of harming you later."
His answer was exactly what she wanted to hear. Mu Tiantian said indifferently, "Whatever you want, I'm fine with either. Going to a place with lots of evil spirits is fine too, otherwise I'll catch more ghosts than you, and you'll lose face."
"Fine, you just wait and see, in the end you'll have to obediently call me Grandmaster!"
Finally, Mu Yu was successfully persuaded by Mu Tiantian to agree to the bet, which not only lowered the price but also increased efficiency. That very night, they went to Lixing Water Garden to prepare for the ghost-catching.
Mu Tiantian followed Huo Jixiu to the Jingxiang Hotel in City A.
This is the newest branch in City A.
It is already 10 p.m.
A sign outside the hotel reads that the interior is under renovation.
The entrance was piled high with lime and cement.
These were all preparations made by Huo Jixiu to cover up the hotel being haunted.
Mu Tiantian glanced at Yang Han, who was pale but trying to appear calm, and said, "Assistant Yang, if you're too scared, you shouldn't go in. Just wait in the car. Otherwise, I'll have to take care of you."
Yang Han glanced at Huo Jixiu and said earnestly, "I have to follow President Huo."
"Mr. Huo, you... are not feeling well, why don't you go back first?" Mu Tiantian was also worried that he would be affected by the evil spirits inside and that his resentment would intensify.
"No need." Huo Jixiu said, then looked at Yang Han. "Go back to the car."
Yang Han was still worried, "But Mr. Huo, you..."
"go back."
Seeing that he insisted, Yang Han stopped trying and went back to his car.
Huo Jixiu pressed the remote control on his wheelchair, which automatically drove down the ramp on the side of the hotel to the entrance.
Mu Tiantian didn't try to persuade him anymore. With his powerful resentment and the black wooden prayer beads in his hand, no ghost would dare to approach him.
She took out her key and opened the hotel door. A wave of gloomy air rushed out, making it feel particularly cold in the hot summer.
Mu Tiantian: [Seventh Master, did you activate Illusion Mode for me?]
System message: [Qiqi's message: I'm going to store up my feelings, don't worry about me.]
Mu Tiantian: [...] You left so suddenly!
She suddenly had a bad feeling.
Huo Jixiu used a remote-controlled wheelchair to move to the spot where the lights were on.
With a click, the hotel lobby instantly became brightly lit.
Mu Tiantian was startled by the sudden light and her body jerked.
Huo Jixiu noticed her panic and, somewhat curious, asked in a low voice, "Are you scared?"
Mu Tiantian coughed lightly, straightened her posture, and said calmly, "What a joke! How could I, a dignified exorcist master, be afraid?"
She didn't know if the Seventh System had given her an illusion system, and she felt insecure if she wasn't sure.
At this moment, Mu Tiantian felt a chill run down her spine from the cold wind.
Sizzle—
A hissing sound came from the electrical circuit, and the lights in the lobby flickered.
Mu Tiantian's body trembled slightly uncontrollably.
