Brother, help

"Ah! Does that mean we're being targeted?" Su Qi exclaimed, his mouth agape in astonishment.

"You could say that, Second Young Master," Huai Jin replied with a smile. "But don't worry, most of the people who have died or gone missing are of low cultivation or ordinary individuals."

"Oh!" Su Qi patted his chest in relief. He had thought that anyone, regardless of their background, would disappear. Fortunately...

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions became more cautious.

A waiter on the third floor pushed open the door and respectfully said, "Master and guests, please come in."

After everyone entered and took their seats, the waiter silently withdrew.

"What's going on? How could such things happen in just a few months? It's unheard of in this chaotic city," Su Zi Mo wondered. Although the city was filled with all sorts of people, such incidents had never occurred before.

"Master, these incidents have only been happening for three or four days. Lord Li has been personally patrolling the city every day, but there are no traces whatsoever. People vanish during the night, even if someone is guarding outside, those inside would inexplicably disappear," Huai Jin explained.

"It's so bizarre. Mother, why don't we finish our meal and leave? It's better to stay in the wild mountains than to risk something happening here," Su Qi said, his face filled with fear, tugging at Su Zi Mo's clothes.

"Do you think they wouldn't pursue us into the wild mountains?" Su Zi Mo looked at her son in exasperation. Why was he so timid at such a crucial moment?

"Ah! Does that mean Qier will sleep with his brother tonight?" Su Qi pouted, surprised that his mother seemed unaffected by such a terrifying situation.

"With Second Young Master's cultivation, they shouldn't be able to harm him," Huai Jin said, smiling. After a few months of not seeing each other, the cultivation of this mother and her two children had advanced rapidly.

"Alas! Uncle Huai Jin, you know Qier falls asleep like a log at night. Sometimes, he wouldn't even know if someone took him away," Su Qi pouted, his expression so adorable that one couldn't help but want to pinch him.

"So, you mean the villains are only targeting ordinary strangers," Nalan Wenhao frowned. How could such a thing happen? If this continued, it would undoubtedly cause great panic and unease.

As they spoke, Yu Su had already brought the dishes.

"You could say that! Let's eat our dinner first, and we can discuss further after the meal," Huai Jin said, stepping aside to allow the serving of food.

"Huai Jin, Yu Su, thank you both. You've managed the business of Mingyue Restaurant so well!" Su Zi Mo sincerely thanked them, feeling reassured with the couple here. She truly appreciated having them.

"Master, you're too polite. It is Huai Jin who should be thanking you. You have provided us with a stable source of income," Yu Su replied.

"Why don't you join us and eat together?" Su Zi Mo looked at the couple, feeling genuinely happy.

"Master, there's no need. Please enjoy your meal. Yu Su and I have already arranged for Qinglian to join us later. Yu Su also wants to have a chat with Qinglian," Huai Jin said. Qinglian and Yu Su had grown up together and were like sisters. Even when they were apart, they often corresponded by letters. Last year, Qinglian and Huai Jin became a couple through marriage, and they were currently living a very happy life, which was enviable.

"Alright then! You go ahead and attend to your tasks. After we finish our dinner, I'll come and find you," Su Zi Mo agreed.

"Very well!"

After Huai Jin and Yu Su left, everyone began to eat their dinner quietly. They had been hungry all day.

In the forbidden area of the Witch Clan, Geng Sang Yao and Shi Witch stood beside a black crystal ball.

"Shi Witch, it seems we've been deceived by Mu Xinyan. Not only did she give the Jade Dragon Pearl to Su Zi Mo, but she also manipulated the Blue Spirit Pearl of the Mu family. The Four Colors Embroidery, which had been missing for so many years, ended up in the hands of her maid. With Su Zi Mo now possessing the Jade Dragon Pearl and the Four Colors Embroidery, it won't be long before the truth of that incident is revealed. Shi Witch and the ten elders are the only ones who know the truth of that year. Can't we come up with a solution? If Mu Yunxuan discovers the truth, the Witch Clan will have no place to bury itself."

Geng Sang Yao spoke solemnly. How could Mu Yunxuan, that radiant man, be matched with Su Zi Mo, Mu Xinyan's daughter?

"Clan Chief, both Mu Yutian and Mu Xinyan are skilled in manipulating the life patterns of others and foreseeing the future. As for our Witch Clan, we can only wait and cannot predict future events," Geng Sang Yao said, casting a side glance at Shi Witch with a gloomy expression.

In a cold tone, she said, "Shi Witch, after Mu Xiuyu's death, you became the most prestigious witch in the clan. You can't just wait. Do you plan to wait until Mu Yunxuan and Su Zi Mo come to our Witch Clan before taking action? Although our Witch Clan cannot predict the future, we can alter others' life patterns and foresee their deaths."

"Clan Chief, for now, we can only prevent them from discovering the secret hidden in the Four Colors Embroidery. As long as they don't uncover that secret, nothing will happen."
