Treasure identifying Golden Finger

After hearing her mother's words, Miss Mu was extremely surprised. But she did not forget that her mother said that the old man in front of her and his grand disciple Miss Yuan saved her, so she hurriedly bowed to the Gu King and Yuan Yue politely.    

"Thank you for saving me. I will never forget your kindness. If you need my Mu family in the future, the Mu family will definitely help you."    

This Miss Mu spoke very boldly. She seemed to be a generous and cheerful person. She seemed to be easy to get along with.    

"It's just a small matter. Miss Mu, you don't have to worry too much about it. On the other hand, Madam Mu seems to be overworked because of your illness. You should remember to rest more!"    

Yuan Yue looked at Madam Mu, who was trying her best to hold back her grief. She couldn't bear to see her like this, so she said.    

Hearing Yuan Yue's words, Miss Mu immediately turned to look at her mother, only to see that her mother's face was pale and haggard, so she quickly went to support her mother and then turned to look at the Gu King and Yuan Yue.    

"I may have to take my mother back to the Gu Palace to rest. I will definitely bring gifts and thank you for your kindness in the future!"    

She nodded to the Gu King and Yuan Yue without giving the Gu King any chance to rebut or decline. Then she immediately called her own housekeeper to help her up and walked towards the gate of the Fang Residence.    

Miss Mu and the housekeeper helped Madam Mu. As she walked, she turned to the Gu King and Yuan Yue and nodded to thank them. Her expression was solemn and grateful.    

Yuan Yue understood what she meant. She wanted to thank them for saving her daughter, but she also wanted to thank them for not exposing her lies and cooperating with her. Madame Mu would never forget this kindness.    

The Gu King stroked his small beard and waved his hand at Lady Mu, indicating that he understood what she meant. Yuan Yue also nodded and didn't say anything else. When Madame Mu returned home, she had a more difficult matter to attend to, and that was to inform her daughter that her father had died.    

"Thank you, mother!"    

Yu Yien sighed from the side.    

"Sigh, these bastards really hate people too much."    

He could not help but curse.    

"Well, the problem has been solved. As for the Mu Clan's problem... they have to deal with it themselves!"    

Faang Cheng waved his hand and looked at the Gu King.    

"Senior, you finally came back from the branch today. Why don't you have dinner at home?"    

He invited the Gu King.    

It turned out that ever since the start of the term, the Gu King had moved from the Fang Residence to the teachers' dormitory of the Witch Gu Branch. It was said that the old man was used to living alone, so that he would have more freedom, but in reality, he was worried about the Witch Gu Branch and the students inside. To put it bluntly, it was because he was too busy and couldn't stay idle.    

"Fine, I'll stay for dinner tonight. Tell Huang Ma to prepare more delicious food. I've been eating in the academy's canteen every day recently, and I'm a little tired of it!"    

The Gu King nodded his head and said with a smile.    

"No problem, I'll have Wen Liang tell the kitchen to add more food tonight."    

Faang Cheng agreed with a smile.    

At dinner time, everyone who went out of the Fang Residence returned. Even Xu Junxiu was pulled back from the Spirit Cultivation Academy by Lee Zhaowen to eat at home.    

Moreover, there were two new faces from the City Patrol Team at the table today, which were Jiang Yanran and He Huan.    

Originally, these two people were not willing to stay at the Fang Mansion for dinner. The family was gathered together. What was going on with the two outsiders? However, Faang Cheng told them not to worry about it. It was just a family dinner, not a formal occasion, just a simple dinner that was the same everywhere.    

Therefore, Jiang Yanran and He Huan stayed behind hesitantly and went to the dining table of the Fang Family.    

In fact, if it had been anyone else, the two of them would not have stayed at all, either because they thought it was a bit rude or because they always felt that they were being asked to stay for dinner because they didn't think it was a good idea. After all, they were from the patrol team. It was not appropriate for them to be invited for dinner for no reason.    

But the one treating them to a meal was Faang Cheng! Firstly, they felt that the reason why Faang Cheng invited them to a meal was definitely not because he wanted to build a relationship with them! Secondly, it was a great temptation for them to be able to eat with the famous Faang Cheng family, the kind of family that would make their Captain Qi envious for a long time.    

Thus, after hesitating for a while, they decided to stay.    

However, Jiang Yanran and He Huan still thought far too highly of Faang Cheng. After all, Faang Cheng had kept them here so that he could build a good relationship with them. However, it was definitely not what they thought it would be. It was Faang Cheng who had taken a fancy to the young pair and wanted to pull them over for Little Four's use.    

Thus, the pair of young partners laughed foolishly as they ate with Fang Cheng's family, not knowing what Faang Cheng, the "big bad wolf," was planning in his heart.    

In the dining room of the Fang residence, the large dining table was once again filled with a large and lively family, and the old faces at the table, the young ones, and the young ones were all enjoying themselves.    

"The man behind this is using all kinds of methods. How much does he want to be the Sector Lord? Is it so easy to be the Sector Lord?"    

After Lee Zhaowen heard Faang Cheng's narration of the day's events, he helplessly and incomprehensibly shook his head.    

"The ruler of a world is naturally comparable to many people. It would have been all right if they had served the people, but they had only their own interests and their own greed, and when they became Sector Lords, how many of them could really think for the people? They just want to live a more comfortable and luxurious life."    

Faang Cheng shook his head.    

"There are still many other small families like today. I reckon many of them have already been controlled by the other party. Such a small family may seem insignificant, but once they are stirred up, controlled, and then spread in the business world and among the people, especially against us and Little Four, it will be difficult for Little Four to ascend to the position of Sector Lord. What we're saving now is probably just a drop in the bucket. "    

He was slightly worried.    

"Then what should we do now?"    

Yu Yien looked at Faang Cheng and asked.    

Little Four, Xiao Fei, and Xu Junxiu all stared straight at Faang Cheng, waiting for his answer.    

"There's only one way. Hurry up and let Xiao Si'er ascend to the position of the Realm Lord as soon as possible! Right now, we're only fighting for time, whether we're fast or they're fast. It will take us some time to find the palace, to prepare, even to guard against their destruction, and if they want to use the smaller families to create chaos and talk, they will have to wait until the time is right, when they can use the smaller families, so... now it's time to see who's faster!"    

Faang Cheng analyzed the current situation and everyone nodded in agreement.    

"I heard that there's another Xue Family in the south of the city, similar to the two other families. How about this, Yien, tomorrow, you bring Jiang Yanran and He Huan to the Xue Family to take a look and see what exactly is going on. If you can solve it, then just solve it. If you have any problems, bring it back to the Fang Mansion and wait for me to come back. I'm going to the Bai Family to take a look tomorrow. There are some things I need to tell Zhan Yu and Zhan Yi. "    

Faang Cheng turned around and said to Yu Yien as he ate.    

"Alright!"    

Yu Yien nodded. At this moment, he heard two sonorous and forceful replies coming from the other side of the table.    

"Yes!"    

It was Jiang Yanran and He Huan. It seemed that they were still not used to Faang Cheng giving out missions at the dining table. After all, the task assigned to them by the city patrol was quite formal, and they had already adapted to the situation. Thus, when they heard that Faang Cheng had assigned them a task, they stood up out of habit and answered in a loud and clear voice.    

Everyone was shocked by their loud voices at first, but they soon burst into laughter.    

"Hahaha... You scared me. Yanran, He Huan, don't be shy. We don't care! Furthermore, strictly speaking, it's not as if we're giving out orders or giving out missions. It's just that Faang Cheng is a very capable leader, and we trust him a lot. Thus, if he needs our help or needs us to do something, we'll do it. So... You don't have to be so nervous. If he says so, just say that you heard him. Just go back and do it. It's not that strict!"    

Yu Yien said to Jiang Yanran and He Huan with a smile.    

"Oh, I see..."    

Jiang Yanran smiled awkwardly and then quickly pulled He Huan's sleeve, asking him to sit down as if she was embarrassed.    

"By the way, Yanran, He Huan, when did you join the patrol team?"    

Faang Cheng asked casually as he took a bite of his food with a smile. However, those who knew him well had already guessed that he wasn't just asking casually.    

Faang Cheng would not leave two strangers at home for dinner, so when he asked them to stay for dinner, everyone present knew. Faang Cheng had "intentions" towards the two of them, and it should be a good one at that. After all, only Faang Cheng would stay behind to eat dinner with the entire Fang Family. Thus, everyone had their own guesses.    

As expected, Faang Cheng began probing the two innocent youngsters.    

"Hmm... It's been about half a year!"    

Jiang Yanran was the first to answer.    

"Half a year? That's not a long time."    

Faang Cheng nodded, seemingly satisfied with their answer.
