......

At noon the next day.

Shangguan Qing originally wanted to teleport directly to the other party's house, but after thinking about it, he gave up.

In the human world, try to act like a human being.

Youxuan was driving the car, complaining, "Sir, my spiritual power is back, but I'm still driving every day. When I return to the underworld, my colleagues will laugh at me for being useless."

"Shut up. You will be responsible for protecting Yu Hai's safety later. Do you hear me?" Shangguan Qing instructed seriously.

"Yes, sir,"

But he didn't quite understand, "Mu Cheng looks so gentle and weak, I can kill ten of them with one claw, what's the danger?"

Her eyes were full of understanding, “Those who hide themselves are the most difficult to deal with.”

Half an hour later, Shangguan Qing arrived at the door of Mu Cheng's villa.

The guard recognized her and knew she was Mr. Mu's friend, so he immediately opened the door for her.

Mu Cheng had just finished lunch when he heard the sound of a car engine in the yard.

He walked out of the living room and saw Shangguan Qing and Youxuan.

And...Yu Hai who is adjusting his coat.

A hint of vigilance and murderous intent flashed across his eyes, but soon returned to normal.

Walk over with a smile on your face.

"Why did you come here so suddenly without even saying hello?"

Yu Hai heard a familiar voice and looked up in panic.

"You! You!" He yelled and hid behind Shangguan Qing, "It's him."

Yu Hai pointed at Mu Cheng excitedly.

Although he didn't know his name yet, Yu Hai remembered his appearance and voice.

Shangguan Qing and Youxuan looked up at Mu Cheng at the same time.

It seems that she was right, it was really Mu Cheng.

"I didn't expect that the criminal the family wanted to catch was in Miss Shangguan's hands," he stared at Yu Hai, "I wonder if you can hand him over to me and take him back to report?"

Yu Hai was frightened by his gaze.

He kept hiding behind Shangguan Qing.

"Mu Cheng, are you a lonely soul who died in the Republic of China like him?" She asked again, "Did you know my identity all along?"

"It seems I can't hide it anymore." He snorted coldly, "The person in charge of the Netherworld Department, but I'm not interested in the Book of Life and Death in your hand."

"It's a dagger! He wants a dagger." Yu Hai suddenly said loudly behind her.

Hearing this, Youxuan suddenly remembered.

Lord Shangguan had previously given him a dagger and asked him to give it to Pluto for safekeeping.

It's just an ordinary knife, no matter how exquisite it is, it's just like that.

Hearing this, Mu Cheng's face suddenly turned dark.

"I don't know what you are talking about. My family asked me to arrest him, so I naturally had to obey."

He insisted that he knew nothing and was just completing a family mission.

Shangguan Qing didn't have a good impression of him to begin with, and now that there was evidence before him, his disgust for him would only deepen.

"Then what does your family want this dagger for?" She said in a threatening tone, "If you don't know, I don't mind going to your Mu Mansion to ask your parents."

The Mu family members had practiced so hard that she couldn't even recognize them as lonely souls.

Still pretending to be an ordinary person in front of her.

One can imagine how deep the hidden scheming of this family is.

Mu Cheng gritted his teeth and kept his excuse, "I told you, it's just a personal collection hobby."

"Don't you know that I have a whole wall of knife collection at home?"

He was already a little impatient and his words became sharp.

"You can say it or not, but I am here to tell you that Yu Hai is now a member of my Netherworld Department. If you touch him, I hope you have enough strength to fight against the entire underworld."

Yu Hai was hunted down and killed, and even became a lonely ghost, because he heard the story about her.

She had an obligation to keep him safe.

"Youxuan, drive, let's go."

She got in the car and left without waiting for Mu Cheng's response.

In the car.

Shangguan Qing’s words about using the underworld to protect him kept flashing through Yu Hai’s mind.

His face flushed and he lowered his head and fiddled with his fingers, "Thank you for just now."

"What are you thanking me for? If you want to pass away someday, just tell me."

After what happened today, she was even more certain that Mu Cheng was not the person she was looking for.

A man who approached her with a purpose just met all the conditions she was looking for in a man.

It's just too much of a coincidence.

But she just doesn't believe in coincidences.

But how did Mu Cheng manage to connect his blood with hers? And the red spider lily mark on his body grew out of his flesh.

How did he do it?

"Youxuan, take me to Cheng Group."

"Okay, turn around immediately."

She changed her mind and said, "Forget it, let's go back to the antique shop."

Youxuan turned the steering wheel halfway, "...Oh."

The other side.

One minute after Shangguan Qing left, Mu Cheng turned around and appeared at the Mu Mansion in the western suburbs of the city.

Seeing him suddenly come back, Ge Peishu hurried forward and asked anxiously, "Don't you usually drive back? Aren't you afraid of exposing your identity?"

He shook his head. "It's no use. She knows everything."

Mu Hongxuan was also a little surprised to see him coming back, "What happened?"

Mu Cheng sat down in the living room, his face full of disappointment, "Shangguan Qing rescued Yu Hai and knew that we were lonely souls."

"What?"

Mu Hongxuan staggered back two steps and almost fell to the ground.

Ge Peishu paced back and forth anxiously, "What should I do? I've been worried that something might happen, and now it really happened!"

"Something happened! Something happened! She just says unpleasant things every day." Mu Hongxuan vented all his anger on Ge Peishu.

"Okay! Is quarreling useful?"

Mu Cheng shouted at them, and the two of them temporarily calmed down.

"But she doesn't know the use of the dagger yet. As long as we find the thing and get it, what does she matter?"

So what if he is the one in charge of the Netherworld?

So what if I’m in charge of thousands of books of life and death?

He is just a small ghost official from the underworld.

"Dad, how long will it take to refine the evil blood curse?"

The evil blood curse that the Mu family had obtained before was not perfect. It had many loopholes after use and could be easily broken.

Over the years, Mu Hongxuan and Ge Peishu have been refining a stronger evil blood curse in the Mu Mansion.

Try to restore it to its original power.

"Two months if nothing unexpected happens." He said with some emotion, "I will have to use you as bait for another two months. If it weren't for Shangguan Qing, we wouldn't have ended up like this!"

"She's a woman who lost her memory and even forgot that she made the dagger. What's the point of blaming her?"

On the contrary, Mu Cheng wanted to thank her.

If it weren't for Shangguan Qing, how could he have lived forever so easily?

Not to mention her dagger that sucked the death energy of tens of millions of people.

As long as he can refine it into his own weapon, he can hurt not only the ancient ferocious beast Qiongqi, but even gods. Then, let's see who dares to give him the cold shoulder.

......

Shangguan Qing returned to the antique shop, feeling depressed and as if his chest was blocked.

She walked to the front desk and poured herself a glass of water, calming herself down a bit.

"From now on you will sleep in the grocery room. Go and clean up after yourself." She glanced towards the inner door and signaled to Yu Hai.

He murmured "Oh" softly and opened the inner door.

He caught a glimpse of a door on the wall and was about to open it to take a look, but was stopped.

"Don't open it. It leads to the dungeon. The prisoners inside are under your care."

Shangguan Qing seemed to be threatening, but his tone was gentle, "If you let him get away, you will be in trouble."

Yu Hai nodded silently in the grocery room.

He withdrew his hand from the door handle and started working.

As he sorted things out, he asked, "Sir...Shangguan..."

I'm still a little uncomfortable with the name.

"How do you know Mu Cheng?"

Shangguan Qing didn't know what to say for a moment, so he sorted out his thoughts and said, "Maybe he kept setting traps and creating coincidences, and they got to know each other after a while."

"Oh, so that's how it is. Then how do you know Cheng Ji?"

Shangguan Qing suddenly felt something was wrong, "It seems like you are very curious about me."

Yu Hai's hands froze and his eyes became a little flustered.
