Now that he needed someone's help, Du Jinyuan didn't hide anything and told Song Mengmeng the whole story in a very straightforward manner.
"We originally planned to invite Master Guo Ruihuai over."
As you know, he is the last disciple of the Maoshan Sect, whose expertise lies in techniques such as controlling ghosts and zombies. They typically keep ghost servants by their side.
Telling him about this is also to curry favor with him!
After all, as you know, it's rare to see someone like Wang Lun with several fully formed infant spirits by his side.
Du Jinyuan rubbed his hands together. Seeing that Song Mengmeng didn't say anything and was still listening attentively, he breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "But there was that little accident before. So, so Guo Ruihuai left!"
The matter remains unresolved.
But he could just leave like that, while we can't.
If we don't resolve this matter, it will be difficult for us to survive in this industry in the future.
Having said all that, even Hu Yue, who had been listening to the conversation, roughly understood Du Jinyuan's plans and the purpose of their visit.
"You want us to handle this for you?!"
Hu Yue put down her teacup and looked at Du Jinyuan: "Your plan is really quite shrewd!"
Use us to solve your current troubles so you can continue to swindle and cheat within the Luo family and the circle they belong to!
But what are we after?! "I don't believe you!"
Guo Ruihuai wisely swallowed back the complaint that had just slipped out.
What could he say? His life and fortune were in someone else's hands; did he have any room to resist?!
"How can we believe that you haven't added anything else to this barrier?!"
Guo Ruihuai felt that such suspicion was perfectly justified.
To put it bluntly, we're all old foxes, so why pretend to be ghosts from a ghost story!
People are naturally driven to strive for their own interests. If it's just about harming oneself to benefit others, who would do it?!
Especially Hu Yue on the other side, she said it was for the peace of this mountain forest, but does that mean she's really just a naive, innocent, and harmless fool?!
Tsk, those evil cultivators who died at her hands would probably jump out of their coffins right now and fight the person who said that to the death!
He couldn't feel completely at ease even with Hu Yue, let alone this young girl in front of him, a complete stranger they had never met before.
If there is the slightest carelessness, the consequences could be utter ruin!
“If you’re worried, you don’t have to agree!” Song Mengmeng didn’t play by the rules Guo Ruihuai had in mind. She had originally planned to go back and catch up on her sleep, but this guy in front of her stopped her.
What annoyed her even more was that after this person stopped her, he didn't talk about anything important, but just kept babbling on about these trivial details and intricacies, which was incredibly annoying!
"I think Mr. Guo, you may have some misunderstanding about the current situation!"
I never intended to force you. I was just offering a suggestion for a peaceful resolution to the current problem. Whether you accept it or not is entirely your choice.
You can agree to this, which will minimize the chances of you causing us trouble after you leave, so that everyone can be at peace; but if you feel that this agreement is not appropriate, you are perfectly free to say no to this proposal!
There's no need to force yourself like that!
Song Mengmeng's words almost made Guo Ruihuai faint from anger.
What kind of talk is that?!
What do you mean by "no coercion, purely voluntary"?
This is clearly a unilaterally imposed, unreasonable clause by this girl in front of us. When was it discussed with them?!
Guo Ruihuai thought this way, so he naturally voiced his protest directly. However, this protest only made things worse, as Song Mengmeng's impatience became even more apparent. She snorted and looked at Guo Ruihuai as if he were an idiot, calmly asking, "When you're slaughtering a chicken, do you go back and discuss with the chicken how to kill it?"
That's quite a blunt statement!
But it's surprisingly suitable for the current situation!
Even though Guo Ruihuai's face had turned a deep purplish-red, it was still true that his strength was inferior to Song Mengmeng's. In that case, in the eyes of this young girl, wasn't he just a chick waiting to be slaughtered?
The weak have no voice in front of the strong.
Moreover, the difference in strength between them is so terrifyingly vast.
This time, Guo Ruihuai shut up completely, obediently chose to compromise, accepted Song Mengmeng and Hu Yue's conditions, and agreed to the establishment of the restriction.
With this turn of events, Guo Ruihuai was completely humiliated. On the same day he set up the restriction, he decisively left the small village where the film crew was staying, as if staying there for another day would be the death of him.
Neither Song Mengmeng nor Hu Yue paid much attention to his reaction. For someone like Guo Ruihuai, who always looked down on everyone, such a setback was practically devastating.
Therefore, given Guo Ruihuai's temperament, it was naturally impossible for her to stay for long.
If he could, he would even want to destroy the evidence and make everyone believe that he had never been there.
Not long after Guo Ruihuai left, the Luo family also left, leaving only Du Jinyuan and his companion, who lingered there. This surprised Song Mengmeng and the others.
