"You mean? The person on the scroll has been here?"
After returning to Guyun Pavilion, the young master showed a surprised expression because of the report from his subordinates.
"Yes, we've met before."
The female fool who was in charge of the report was very excited. On the one hand, she wanted to be rewarded by the young master, and on the other hand, she was also very concerned about the forbidden love affair between the young master and Mu Bai.
"Haha, I didn't expect that instead of looking for you, you would come to me instead, Lin Mubai..."
The young master laughed excitedly, and the tingling on his skin almost penetrated into his bone marrow. Before, he was afraid that he and Mu Bai would not be able to interact, but now it seemed that the other party had noticed him.
"How did you receive him? Did you not take action against him?"
"Ah? I, we didn't do anything, and he didn't do anything either. We are at peace with each other." The female fool said with some guilt.
"Okay! Very good! This is between me and him, and none of you should interfere."
The young master was very satisfied with the countermeasures taken by his men, because he knew that with Mu Bai's strength (Zhong Li's description), even if all these soldiers rushed forward, they would be dead ends, and their long-planned plan would be exposed.
Being at peace with each other is the best outcome.
At the same time, because Mu Bai has been to Guyun Pavilion, the young master must confirm how much information Mu Bai knows. This is a good reason to fight with him.
"As expected! That man is definitely having an affair with Mr. Young Master! Ah...it's great to have stopped other idiots from messing around."
The nymphomaniac girl obviously also misunderstood the young master's intentions. Now, these fools are even more convinced that Mu Bai is a big shot from the top of the organization.

"Mona! You're such a serious guy, how could you run home in the middle of a trip?"
After returning to Liyue Port, Mu Bai complained while pushing open the door:
"Then the royalties are so important... huh?"
As soon as he walked into the living room, Mu Bai found that the room was deserted, and it didn't look like there was anyone at all.
After that, he looked around the study room and Mona's bedroom, but there was no one either.
No, it’s not just that there’s no one there, there’s no trace of anyone coming. The room is still the same as it was before setting off for the trip.
"Mona didn't come back?"
The distance between Wangshu Inn and Liyue Port would take at least more than 10 hours on foot. Mona didn't have a carriage, so she might still be on the road at this time.
"Really, I don't mind if the carriage is taken away. Why do you have to work so hard on yourself?"
It was now twelve o'clock in the morning, and Mu Bai was already very sleepy. He sat on the sofa and waited for Mona to come home. He waited and fell asleep until seven o'clock the next morning.
"Fuck...why did I fall asleep?"
After the morning sunlight hit his eyes, Mu Bai realized that he had slept on the sofa all night. He wanted to go back to the bedroom to catch up on his sleep, so he subconsciously shouted:
"Mona, you don't have to make my share of breakfast."
"..."
"Mona?!"
After receiving no response for a long time, Mu Bai suddenly woke up and felt a chill running down his spine.
"What happened?!"
The owner of Wangshu Inn said that Mona left after lunch that day. Even if she left at two o'clock in the afternoon, it was now seven o'clock in the morning the next day. She should be home anyway.
"Damn it! Don't scare me!"
Mu Bai had no intention of sleeping, so he rushed out of the door and began to search for Mona anywhere near Liyue Port.

"Excuse me, is Hall Master Hu here?"
On the other side, Bai Shu, the boss of Bu Bu Lu, knocked on the door of the Hall of Rebirth.
"Hello... Do you have anything to do with the hall master?"
The female secretary from the Hall of Purity came out to greet him. She looked a little haggard.
"I have something urgent to do with Hall Master Hu."
"Hall Master Hu...is not at home."
"Of course she's not at home. She's probably burying my herb picking boy alive in some wilderness at this time."
Bai Shu said anxiously:
"So I just want to know the whereabouts of Hall Master Hu."
"I don't quite understand what you're saying."
The female secretary looked troubled, as if she had something to hide.
"Please forgive my rudeness, I will go straight to the point here."
Bai Shu first salutes and then fights:
"Hall Master Hu often plots against Qiqi, my herb picking boy, and even does illegal things like kidnapping. Now that Qi Qi has not returned home all day and night, hasn't he been arrested by Hall Master Hu again?!"
Just as he said, there has been no news about Qiqi since she went to collect herbs yesterday morning, and she was nowhere to be found in the areas where she often collects herbs, so Baizhu concluded that Hu Tao abducted Qiqi again.
"This...maybe Miss Qiqi got lost on her own? It should be none of Hall Master Hu's business."
"Why do you need to protect her like this? I'm not looking for trouble with Hall Master Hu, I just want to get Qiqi back."
"Please calm down...this is indeed not the work of Master Hu."
The female secretary wanted to defend herself, but she was as miserable as a mute eating Coptis chinensis. She looked around first, and after making sure there was no one around, she said to Bai Shu with a tired look on her face:
"Actually, our Hall Master Hu has been missing for two days and can't be found."
"what?"
86. Why is she still my wife?
"Please come in first. I will explain it to you in detail when we get to the living room."
The female secretary welcomed Baizhu in, closed the door, sat down with Baizhu in the living room and said:
"Two days ago, our Hall Leader Hu said we were going to find something exciting and fun, but it turned out that we were like a kite with a broken string and lost all news. Because we were afraid of delaying business, we did not make the news public."
"Then you didn't report to the police?"
"Of course I have reported it to the official, and a case has been filed, but isn't it coming soon to the Immortal Invitation Ceremony? The Yamen is quite busy, and I haven't found any clues."
The female secretary looked sad.
"So, Qiqi was indeed not kidnapped by Hall Master Hu."
The time didn't match up, Qiqi was still at home when Hutao went missing.
"So, is it possible that your herb picking boy got lost in the mountains?"
"No, her memory is not that bad."
If it had been in the past, it would have been possible, but Qiqi has just finished reading Zombie's Life-Changing Story recently. All aspects of the body's functions have a tendency to return to positive, and my memory is not bad.
"And we have searched carefully at the place where she collected medicine, but no one was found."
"That's it... Then I suggest you also report it to the official. Maybe this has something to do with Hall Master Hu's disappearance."
"That's it, we will report the crime right away. We hope to keep in touch with you at any time and share clues."
"Ok."

"Lord Ningguang, I am really busy with the Immortal Invitation Ceremony. Do you want to summon Lord Gan Yu back?"
On the other side, in the office of Yujingtai, Ningguang and other senior officials were busy with the annual major event of Liyue Port.
The so-called Immortal Invitation Ceremony is to worship the King of Rocks, summon her to come, and ask for her mottos. By the way, Zhongli will appear in the form of a dragon, which is also one of her incarnations.
Every year when the emperor appears, it will bring huge business opportunities to Liyue. One of her mottos will often change the future economic trend.
This was regarded as a favor by many businessmen, but Keqing was not grateful for it.
She believes that the emperor's motto is a jolt to the market, which will attract a large number of speculators and destabilize the market economy.
"Forget it, Baiwenbaishi, you go find Gan Yu, take over her business trip, and ask her to come back and help."
Gan Yu only received a business trip this morning. He probably just left Liyue Port at this time. Because of his busy official duties, Ning Guang had to call him back.
After all, after studying in the "different dimension space", Gan Yu's work efficiency alone is comparable to that of five or six senior secretaries.
"Why don't you see Keqing?"
Among the seven stars, Tianshu Xing, who was in a semi-retired state, was also helping, but after being busy with other senior officials for so long, Ke Qing was nowhere to be seen.
"That child has always been opposed to the ceremony of inviting immortals, and I didn't expect her to do it."
Ningguang sighed helplessly and said:
"Allowing her, who is committed to reform, to attend the immortal ceremony is undoubtedly asking her to shoot herself in the foot."
While the senior executives of Liyue Port were busy, a young man's voice suddenly came into the office.
"Report! Lord Ningguang, the Yamen wants to send more men from the Qianyan Army."
"There is a quota of security personnel for the ceremony every year. Why do we need to send additional personnel this year?"
"Recently, the Yamen has received several cases of missing persons and needs to assign Qianyan Army to investigate."
"I see...manpower is a little tight."
In addition to being a lively temple fair, the Immortal Invitation Ceremony is also major news in the business circle. Not only businessmen from all walks of life in Liyue, but also many businessmen from abroad are eager to try it out.
Therefore, in recent days, a large number of outsiders have poured into Liyue, requiring countless thousands of rock troops to investigate and maintain stability. This is also the reason for the shortage of manpower.
"There's one more thing...that...that Mr. Lin Mubai from before also came to report the crime."
"Mubai?"
Ning Guang was shocked, and saw her ruby-like eyes turn twice quickly, and then said:
"Tell the Yamen to leave this matter to me, and report to Keqing at the same time and ask her to help."
"receive."
·
·
Two more days passed after that, and Ningguang finally finished her duties at dusk. She only had to tidy up her makeup and wait for the ceremony to host the immortal ceremony tomorrow.
The makeup can be done by my maid in half an hour. In other words, I will be free from now until I fall asleep at night.
"I wonder what's going on with Mu Bai."
After relaxing, Ningguang's first reaction was to visit Mu Bai, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
In fact, the two of them hadn't seen each other for only a week, but Ningguang felt like they were separated for three autumns.
"Oops? Mu Bai~ What a coincidence, I just wanted to find you."
As soon as Ningguang walked near Mubai's mansion, she bumped into Mubai who was about to go home. At that moment, she had the urge to take Mubai into her arms and eat him.
Fortunately, I was still at work a few minutes ago, and my calmness and tact were still online, suppressing this strong desire.
"Ningguang? What do you want from me?"
"Oh...why do you look so haggard?"
After getting closer, Ning Guang realized that Mu Bai was very lethargic and there were faint bags under his eyes.
"A friend of mine got lost recently, and I haven't found her until now. I'm very worried."
