Catching Ghosts as Head of Yin Department-Chapter 526 - 524: Even More Disgusting Than Stepping in Dog Shit
"Speak, where is Xin Ziruo?" Mo Lin snorted coldly once again.
The sound was deafening.
"A month from now, my master will return to Jinchuan. By then, the grudge between her and you will have a resolution," Xin Xiao replied to Mo Lin slowly.
These words were not her own; they were left by Xin Ziruo for her to deliver.
After Xin Ziruo left, she had told Xin Xiao that if she lost, she should say these words to Mo Lin to save her life.
Sure enough, after hearing these words, Mo Lin slowly released his grip.
Xin Xiao collapsed directly onto the ground, staring at Mo Lin with a look of unwillingness.
Before Xin Xiao could speak, Mo Lin summoned a little ghost, pried open Xin Xiao’s mouth with his left hand, and stuffed the little ghost into Xin Xiao’s body.
"A month from now, I will come to Jinchuan again.
If I don’t see Xin Ziruo then, you will surely die.
This little ghost is a means of ensuring Xin Xiao doesn’t deceive him in order to save her life.
"If you’re not afraid to die, just come to Jinchuan in a month," Xin Xiao added through gritted teeth.
"I will definitely come to Jinchuan." With those words, Mo Lin left with Yun Xue’xue and the others.
Finally, the day to meet Xin Ziruo again was approaching.
Mo Lin wasn’t in a hurry; having waited for years, a month was nothing he couldn’t wait through.
....
Nanming Family.
A middle-aged man was sitting by a pond at the door, fishing with a rod.
This middle-aged man was Nanming Yueye’s father, Nanming Wei.
"Father, I’ve found the Nanming Li Fire." A soft voice drifted over.
At the moment he heard these words, Nanming Wei’s fishing rod fell into the pond, and he looked at Nanming Yueye in shock, momentarily speechless.
His pupils revealed a look of astonishment.
"You’ve found the Nanming Li Fire?" Nanming Wei couldn’t help but ask again.
"Yes."
Nanming Yueye slowly said, "But, for some reason, the Nanming Li Fire rejects me.
I can’t subdue the Nanming Li Fire, do you know why?"
At this point, Nanming Wei wasn’t in the mood for fishing at all. After hesitating for a while, he finally spoke slowly, "Perhaps it’s better to give up on the Nanming Li Fire."
"No."
Without a second thought, Nanming Yueye firmly refused, "The Nanming Li Fire should rightfully be mine.
Now that I’m on the verge of regaining it, I absolutely cannot give up.
I’ve waited many years for the Nanming Li Fire already."
Nanming Wei opened his mouth but swallowed back the words.
"Ah..."
Nanming Wei sighed softly.
Seeing his father’s state, Nanming Yueye was very confused and pressed, "What’s wrong with you?"
"Can you give up the Nanming Li Fire? That thing doesn’t belong to our Nanming Family," Nanming Wei slowly said.
"No, I absolutely won’t give up the Nanming Li Fire," Nanming Yueye firmly refused without thinking.
"Why should I give up the Nanming Li Fire?" Nanming Yueye pursued confusedly.
"Ah..."
Nanming Wei just sighed and did not directly answer Nanming Yueye.
....
Celestial Heart Bureau.
Mo Lin returned to the Celestial Heart Bureau with Yun Xue’xue and the others.
Cui Ming seemed to have encountered a tricky problem and hadn’t returned to the Celestial Heart Bureau.
Mo Lin was seated on a chair, while Qiu Yunshang paced in the distance with a hesitant expression. Then, as if making a decision, she approached Mo Lin, gritting her teeth.
"Lord Mo Lin, could I ask you a favor?" Qiu Yunshang addressed Mo Lin with difficulty.
If possible, she didn’t want to trouble Mo Lin, but there was truly no better solution now.
"What is it?" Mo Lin asked back to Qiu Yunshang.
"The day after tomorrow, there’s a Fuhai East Council meeting, and I’d like to ask you to go on behalf of our Celestial Heart Bureau." Qiu Yunshang slowly explained to Mo Lin.
The Fuhai East Council was originally supposed to be attended by Cui Ming, but since Cui Ming was out on a mission and hadn’t returned,
after much consideration, Qiu Yunshang decided to ask Mo Lin to represent the Celestial Heart Bureau at the Fuhai discussion meeting.
Seeing Mo Lin not speaking, Qiu Yunshang added, "This meeting is very important, primarily concerning the stability of the entire East District.
I’d like you to attend."
The East District refers to the entire eastern area, including Beihai, Jinchuan, Xuyan City, and Xu Yue City.
All these belong to the East District.
"Okay," Mo Lin nodded in agreement.
For Mo Lin, it wasn’t much trouble either.
Moreover, since Mo Lin knew Cui Ming, it was also a way to help out.
"Then I’m really grateful to you." Qiu Yunshang expressed her gratitude to Mo Lin.
Thus Mo Lin prepared to go to Fuhai for the East Council meeting.
Yun Xue’xue also accompanied Mo Lin, but Feng Mingyu and Qian Youyou didn’t go to Fuhai with them.
Fuhai, located right in the center of the East District, wasn’t very big.
The East Council meeting was held at a hall in Fuhai.
Mo Lin walked into the hall with a badge given by Qiu Yunshang.
Inside, it was already full of people.
Mo Lin was evidently late.
"Celestial Heart Bureau representative entering." A sharp voice rang throughout the hall.
Everyone’s attention turned toward Mo Lin.
"What is going on with your Celestial Heart Bureau? Why come so late to such an important occasion?" At the very front row of the hall, five old men with white hair were seated.
One of the white-haired elders questioned Mo Lin.
"The meeting starts at eleven; I came at ten-thirty. How am I late?" Mo Lin retorted.
Clearly, this group of people arrived too early.
Turning the blame on Mo Lin for being late, of course, Mo Lin had to retort.
He definitely wouldn’t allow himself to suffer any grievance.
Perhaps feeling that Mo Lin’s defiance made him lose face, Guo Qi felt particularly uncomfortable.
Guo Qi scolded Mo Lin, "In such an important occasion, Celestial Heart Bureau sends an unknown disciple over. Isn’t that taking this meeting too lightly?"
"Celestial Heart Bureau has really expanded."
The white-haired elder beside Guo Qi chimed in.
"Cui Ming is increasingly not taking us old folks seriously," another white-haired elder added.
Mo Lin glanced around. About three hundred people were in the hall.
None of them spoke, only these five white-haired elders at the front were vocal.
Mo Lin didn’t understand what was going on with these five; it was as if he had stepped on their tails, and they would bite at the sight of him.
Was it just because Mo Lin retorted once?
This group is too petty; Mo Lin retorted just once, and they started attacking him.
"Get out."
Guo Qi’s voice was very harsh as he scolded Mo Lin, "You have no qualification to attend this meeting.
Either let Cui Ming attend this meeting, or you leave."
These words were a blatant humiliation to Mo Lin.
Honestly, Mo Lin hadn’t done anything wrong; it was enough to be verbally attacked by this group upon entering.
Now they even wanted to drive Mo Lin away.
This was just too humiliating for Mo Lin.
Being put down right from the start, Mo Lin frowned tightly, looking very uncomfortable.
This was even more disgusting than stepping in dog shit while walking.
