Chapter 164: Night Stalking

Before Butler Li finished speaking, his phone rang.

He took out the phone from his arms, looked at his name, raised his head and replied to the man in front of him: "There are results!"

Mu Duanru nodded to him and motioned for him to answer the phone.

Butler Li answered the phone, his originally calm eyes filled with solemnity.

He hung up after a while, hesitated and said: "Master, the lady is missing!"

As soon as he said these words, the atmosphere in the whole room suddenly became heavy.

Butler Li stood there with no change in his expression, as if it had nothing to do with him.

"Missing!?" Mu Duanru's deep voice sounded like the thunder of an approaching storm.

Butler Li did not open his mouth to touch the bad luck.

The sharp look in Mu Duanru's eyes turned into a frighteningly cold look: "Ask the Taoists to check for me! If they can't give me the results I want! Humph!"

Butler Li said calmly: "Master, we are not Taoist opponents..."

Mu Duanru sneered and said calmly: "Then my whole Mu family and the Tao family will perish together, are they afraid?"

If an outsider heard this simple sentence, they would probably be frightened out of their wits.

Although the Mu family is not as good as the Yiluo Group, its strength cannot be underestimated.

If it is determined to fight with Taoism, then Taoism may fall into a trough, and even the news that there are demons and cultivators in the world will be exposed to the world.

It can even rewrite the current situation!

This scene is definitely not what Taoists want to see.

Butler Li couldn't help but remind him: "If it remains the same as before, you will be the enemy of the entire Taoist family!"

Mu Duanru folded his hands, like an old general strategizing: "I, Mu Duanru, have been in the shopping mall for so many years, who have I been afraid of?"

"But a shopping mall is a shopping mall, and this Taoist family is not as simple as a shopping mall!" Butler Li said calmly.

Mu Duanru looked at Butler Li, and his eyes became colder: "It's not your turn to make irresponsible remarks on what I want to do!"

Butler Li lowered his head and did not speak.

Mu Duanru waved his hand slightly nonchalantly: "Give the Taoists four days, if they don't find her! Let them figure it out on their own!"

Butler Li remained silent, bowed his head and bowed before leaving.

Mu Duanru sat there alone and was very quiet. After nearly ten minutes passed, he picked up the file again and looked at it.

It was as if he had just dealt with an insignificant matter.

…………

The time comes at night.

Butler Li left after serving dinner to Mu Mengzi and the others.

Mu Mengzi also woke up for the first time, and Ling Yun was also ready to take advantage of tonight to check out the situation of the Mu family.

Not long after Mu Mengzi woke up, Xiang Liu also came back.

After secretly following Butler Li for a period of time, she saw that he was either going to inspect the servants' work or reporting to Na Mu Duanru about some arrangements for the itinerary.

However, the conversation between Mu Duanru and Butler Li at that time surprised Xiang Liu. Judging from their tone, it could be seen that they were not only aware of the existence of Taoism, but also had connections with Taoism in Fangcheng.

She did not tell Mu Mengzi first, but waited for Ling Yun to leave before talking to Mu Mengzi alone.

After dinner, Ling Yun was also ready to leave.

After Mu Mengzi told him to pay attention to his safety, he stopped talking.

Seeing that Ling Yun was gone, Xiang Liu recounted the conversation he heard during the day to Mu Mengzi.

After listening to what Senior Xiang Liu had overheard, Mu Mengzi's eyes suddenly darkened.

If it is true as Senior Xiang Liu said, then his father has actually known about his stay in the Fangcheng Taoist family early in the morning!

She does not believe that it was the Mu family who investigated her status in the Tao family. After all, if the Tao family wanted to avoid exposing themselves, they would not be able to find her even if the Mu family turned Fangcheng upside down!

In this case, there is only one possibility.

That is, someone told the Mu family about their time in the Taoist family, and they kept reporting the news for a long time.

Who could it be?

According to Taoism, Aunt Qin should be the only person who knows her identity.

But she didn't believe that Aunt Qin would tell the Mu family that she was in the Taoist family in Fangcheng.

Moreover, Aunt Qin had promised her back then. Anyway, Mu Mengzi could be sure that Aunt Qin would not reveal her whereabouts.

In addition, Aunt Qin is missing now, but his father asked Butler Li to contact the Fangcheng Mu family and ask him to find his whereabouts.

That can only mean that the person who leaked his whereabouts is still the Fangcheng Taoist family.

As for who it is, his status is certainly not low.

After all, how could ordinary disciples mobilize manpower to find themselves? If we could know who in the Fangcheng Taoist family issued the order to find ourselves, then the person who leaked her whereabouts would most likely be him (her).

It's a pity that Mu Mengzi has no one else in Fangcheng Road's family except Ling Yun, who is familiar with her.

Now that Ling Yun is in Kyoto, she must not know the recent situation of the Fangcheng Taoist family at all.

At this moment, she is Xu Yuyu, and it is impossible for her to ask about the situation of Fangcheng Taoist family as Mu Mengzi.

Just when Mu Mengzi was at a loss what to do, she seemed to have thought of something.

Yes! Lingyun!

Although she is not Mu Mengzi now, her current status is that of an immortal!

It wouldn't be difficult for her to ask Ling Yun to help her keep an eye on who the Fangcheng Taoist family is looking for her.

As for the excuse, Mu Mengzi could just find one casually.

Seeing Mengzi's gloomy expression soften, Xiang Liu also understood that she should have a countermeasure: "How about Mengzi?"

Mu Mengzi explained her analysis to senior Xiang Liu, and Xiang Liu nodded with satisfaction: "Indeed, if the Aunt Qin you mentioned leaked your whereabouts, then the Mu family would not be able to contact Fangcheng now.

Taoist."

"But they actually threatened the Fangcheng Taoist family to find you. That only means that the person who leaked your whereabouts should still be in the Taoist family, and his status is not low..."

As he spoke, Xiang Liu paused, squinted his eyes and said, "Do you have anyone to guess?"

Mu Mengzi sighed and shook his head: "If Jiang Xiaowu was still in the Taoist family, I might have some guesses, but Jiang Xiaowu disappeared early in the morning..."

She shook her head and said she had no clue.

Xiang Liu stopped mentioning this matter. After all, it still takes time to figure out the identity of the other party.

Seeing that the night had darkened outside the window, Xiang Liu asked, "Aren't you going to go out to explore tonight?"

Mu Mengzi hesitated. In fact, she planned to go to Butler Li tonight to identify herself and ask about her mother.

But at this moment, she wanted to look for the small courtyard that she had seen in Hu Zhe's dreamland. If her search failed, it was still too late to look for Butler Li.

But she had never seen that furnished yard in Mu's house since she was a child, and she didn't know where to start looking for it.

However, judging from its orientation, it should be in the west, so Mu Mengzi was going to look for it near the west wing.

As for revealing his identity to Butler Li, it is better to hold off on asking his mother for the time being.

"Senior Xiang Liu, let's go to the west wing to investigate first."

Xiang Liu raised his hand to cast a spell and said, "I'll block our breath first so that Butler Li won't notice it."

Mu Mengzi nodded. There was actually a reason why she let Ling Yun act alone, and that was to attract attention.

Butler Li's eyes were attracted by Ling Yun, so he would not notice her.

After Xiang Liu used special means to block Mu Mengzi's aura, the two left the south room.

Mu Mengzi went to the west wing according to the direction of memory.

No one lived in the west wing. It was originally used as a place for his father's younger brother.

But they had all married and moved out, leaving his father alone in the Mu family's old house.

Because there was no one living there, the light here was not very good. They could only use the moonlight to barely see the situation of the houses below.

After Xiang Liu looked around, she found nothing wrong, so she shook her head at Mu Mengzi.

Mengzi saw Senior Xiang Liu shaking his head. Although he had a vague answer in his heart, he still couldn't help but sigh.

Sure enough, what happened in Hu Zhe's fantasy world was not believable!

Mu Mengzi and Xiang Liu were about to go back, but suddenly a figure made her freeze in place.

Below, I saw a man with half-grey hair walking towards the west wing carrying a lantern.

The reason why Mu Mengzi froze was because the man was his father Mu Duanru, whom he had not seen for many years.

The father she remembered was strict and cold.

But when I saw my father, he felt a little more lonely and old.

Mu Mengzi's heart surged with emotions unconsciously.

Just when his thoughts were hard to calm down, Xiang Liu pulled the absent-minded Mu Mengzi back, and she pointed in a direction.

Mu Mengzi looked in the direction pointed by Xiang Liu and saw Mu Duanru entering a room.

And the light of that lantern disappeared after entering the room.

Mu Mengzi immediately raised his head and looked at Senior Xiang Liu, his eyes full of doubts that could not be suppressed.

Xiang Liu shook his head and said he didn't know.

After some hesitation, Mu Mengzi decided to go and see what was going on.

The two came to the room that Mu Duanru had just entered, and they pushed the door open and entered.

The room was clean and tidy, and it looked like it had been cleaned frequently. However, they did not see Mu Duanru when they entered. The whole room was empty, as if no one had entered it just now.

Xiang Liu spread his senses, not missing a single detail, but after looking around, he still couldn't find anything wrong.

Mu Mengzi searched around. She guessed that there must be some kind of mechanism in the room. As for why Senior Xiangliu didn't notice it, it must have been blocked by some magic... caset

She found the bed next to her from the desk, and found nothing that looked like something that could open the mechanism.

Just when Mu Mengzi was distressed, Xiang Liu suddenly rushed over without warning and hugged Mu Mengzi, and then the two of them disappeared.

The next second they disappeared, the bookshelf opened without warning, and then a flash of light illuminated the room.

Originally, Mu Mengzi hadn't reacted yet and wanted to ask Senior Xiang Liu what was wrong.

Fortunately, Xiang Liu sent a message to Mu Mengzi first: "Don't move, someone is coming."

Mu Mengzi watched quietly as a person walked out of the passage inside the bookshelf.

The person who came out was none other than Mu Mengzi's father.

Sure enough, as she guessed, this room had a mechanism, but it also blocked their perception.

When she saw her father, Mu Mengzi's eyes became a little blurry unconsciously.

He is old!

Really old!

When she was a child, her father was stern, mean, and high-spirited, but at this time, her father already had wrinkles on his cheeks, and his hair was full of silver threads under the candlelight.

Looking at his slightly red eyes, Mu Mengzi knew that he must have cried just now.
