Chapter 55 Miss Shen is Arrested
After a while, Miss Shen returned and reported, "Miss Yu, I found a few men in black suits and sunglasses to be suspicious. They said they were bodyguards for a big boss, but they kept staring at you, and one of them sneaked into the stairwell, I don't know what he was up to."
Yu Xiaoluo said in a deep voice, "Stay close to him, don't let him do anything bad, and scare him if necessary."
"OK." Miss Shen has recently learned a few English phrases, but they are only at the first-grade level, such as yes, no, and how are you.
After a while, once the glass shards were cleaned up, the venue returned to its lively atmosphere. Although everyone had been a little scared, they figured that with Yu Xiaoluo's abilities, nothing bad would happen, and she would definitely protect them.
Disturbed by this unexpected event, Yu Wenli went on stage and directly announced her comeback.
"Dear friends and family, thank you all for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend the homecoming banquet for my daughter, Yu Xiaoluo. My wife and I have waited eighteen years for this day. Now, I announce that my youngest daughter, Yu Xiaoluo, has finally returned home, rejoined the Yu family, and been recorded in the family genealogy."
He gently embraced his daughter, facing everyone, his expression filled with emotion.
"The little girl is kind and innocent. She has always lived in a Taoist temple in the mountains, leading a very simple and honest life. Therefore, she is unaware of the dangers of the world. Please take good care of her and show her more love. My Luo Luo is still young and inexperienced. She has never been through the ups and downs of society. So, if she encounters any problems, I hope you can help her out."
Everyone was wondering: with all the industry bigwigs now acting like her older brothers and sisters, did she really need anyone else's help? It was more like others needed her help.
Yu Xiaoluo smiled and bowed to everyone. "Hello everyone, brothers and sisters, uncles and aunts, grandpas and grandmas. From now on, I am a member of the Yu family. If you need any help, please feel free to come. There is also something I want to announce: my metaphysics hall will be opening in a while. The specific date is yet to be determined. I welcome everyone to come and support me. No, no, I hope you can come and have some fun when it opens. You won't need me at other times, haha."
At this point, Yu Xiaoluo turned her gaze to Bao Shuoyu, as if urging him not to be lazy and to hurry up and find a shop.
Bao Shuoyu was speechless. He had only given the task yesterday, and they were already urging him to do it today. He pretended not to see it.
Do you think I, a dignified Demon Lord, am only fit to be your errand boy? Can you even accept that?
He picked up his phone and started frantically searching for rental information on a local online marketplace.
At this moment, someone in the audience called out, "Miss Yu, are you taking orders now? I seem to have run into some trouble—but—" He knew that it was inappropriate to bring this up now, so he hesitated and stopped.
Yu Xiaoluo said with a smile, "I have two assistants now, one is my third brother, and the other is Bao Shuoyu, the young master of the Bao family. You can make reservations with them in advance, and I can arrange it when I have time."
"Heh, you really dare to hire her to exorcise ghosts?" A cold female voice rang out from behind, and everyone turned to look.
A woman with a slender figure, wearing a black tight-fitting fishtail dress and a beaded lace hat, walked out from the crowd. Her pretty, round face carried a hint of mockery.
The crowd stirred slightly; someone recognized him.
"This is Shangguan Peiyu, one of the heads of the three major families of the Xuan family. She doesn't seem to get along with Yu Xiaoluo. Could she be here to cause trouble?"
"Is she trying to cause trouble today? Does she think things are going to get even worse?"
"They probably came prepared."
"I know about this, I know. It's said that she captured Yu Xiaoluo's pet, and Yu Xiaoluo destroyed her ancestral magic artifact. She posted it online, but the post was quickly deleted. However, I left a comment. Later, the internet was completely wiped clean. They're all powerful people. It seems like there's going to be a good show."
"I heard that Yu Xiaolu deliberately left her pet at Shangguan Peiyu's doorstep, which is why Shangguan Peiyu did it. Moreover, Yu Xiaolu kept a poisonous animal, a highly toxic one."
"They say it's a demonic pet, but I don't know if it's true."
"Hey, one is a rising star in metaphysics, and the other is a veteran. Tsk tsk, they're definitely worth coming here. I love joining in the fun and seeing who wins and who loses."
"Hey hey, I'll start a live stream too, just to get some traffic, hehe. Hi everyone—long time no see—I'm at the banquet right now, guess what—"
...
The live stream was also a heated debate. Before the two even started fighting, the internet was already divided into two factions: one supporting Yu Xiaoluo and the other supporting Shangguan Peiyu.
“Our little Luoluo is so cute. Not only did she not harm anyone, but she also saved so many people. I think Shangguan Peiyu is just jealous of her. She is so young, yet she has already achieved extraordinary things and overshadowed her. Look how sour she is.”
"What do you know? Shangguan Peiyu is the true master. Yu Xiaoluo is just a greenhorn who's only made a name for herself because her family is powerful and influential, and she has a wide network of connections. As for her real talent—heh—"
"Upstairs, you don't know anything. You're ignorant and uninformed, which is why you said our little Luo Luo has no real skills. Go and do some research."
"Heh, all the good news is there, but all the bad news has been deleted. You really believe Yu Xiaoluo has such a powerful backer?"
"So what if I believe it?"
"Then just wait to be proven wrong."
"I think you're the one who's been proven wrong."
"Hey, stop arguing. Do you think the two of them will start fighting?"
"roll!"
"roll!"
At this moment, Yu Xiaoluo saw Shangguan Peiyu appear, but she didn't say anything. Her gaze turned cold. Why was she here? No one invited her. She didn't know what methods she used to sneak in.
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Nanshan quickly came over to persuade, "Patriarch Shangguan, we are having a banquet today. It is important to maintain harmony and not to quarrel."
"Captain Nan, what's wrong with me just exposing Yu Xiaoluo's hypocrisy?" Shangguan Peiyu ignored him, glanced around, and pointed at Yu Xiaoluo, saying loudly, "She not only raises demons, but also ghosts!"
Instantly, the crowd erupted in an uproar, as if a pot had been boiled over. Everyone's eyes turned to Yu Xiaoluo, whispering among themselves, waiting for her explanation.
Someone in the crowd shouted, "Shangguan Peiyu, don't make baseless accusations! Do you have any evidence? You can't just say you're raising ghosts!"
"Evidence? Heh, I wouldn't have come today if I didn't have evidence."
Shangguan Peiyu smiled and waved her hand. Two people dressed in Shangguan family Taoist robes came up, carrying something in their hands.
Others couldn't see it, but Yu Xiaoluo could—it was Miss Shen!
She truly hadn't expected that Miss Shen would be arrested!
