ans, immortals, or ghosts. Objects can become spirits, and strange creatures can become demons. And immortals, ghosts, and fairies can all become devils.This isn't our first time vanquishing a demon.M...The Shen family and the Mu family had no previous grudges. The reason why the two families became feuding was because of their parents' matter.

My father was also ambitious when he was young. I don't know about my mother's personality, but Old Mrs. Shen said that my mother and I were both born with an understanding of the Tao. She must have been kind, easygoing, and tolerant.

Hearing that the Shen family had sent someone to invite me this time, coupled with seeing Old Mrs. Shen frail before, I vaguely felt something was amiss.

Dad hesitated a little. He also wanted to see Old Mrs. Shen, after all, she's my mother's elder. After much deliberation, fearing that Old Mrs. Shen might really be in her final days and he would regret not seeing her, we all went in the end.

My brother was driving, my dad sat in the passenger seat, grandma and I held two little ones in the back, and the little lynx nestled next to me. We drove to the Shen's house.

Seeing the Shen family's gate, Old Dad couldn't help but sigh about the passage of time and how things change.

"That's where I met your mother, at that Taoist temple up on the mountain." Dad sighed. "That tree has been there for over twenty years and hasn't changed a bit."

Old Madam Shen had almost exhausted all her cultivation. At this time, she looked haggard and weak after a great tribulation.

She was leaning against her bed, watching me as I held Yu Gui and You Nan walk in. She almost jumped off the bed in excitement.

"...That's..." The child of the god

She looked at me with her eyes.

I nodded, and she watched as the two little dumplings silently shed tears.

"Xiao Qiao... The birth of new life, how beautiful... It's as if I see endless hope and light..." Her pale lips trembled.

"Auntie, please don't get too excited, just lie down." I was afraid she would be too excited, so I had to bring the little dumpling back and give it to my grandma and dad.

She looked at her father. Her father gritted his teeth and shouted, “Aunt.”

Grandma Shen gave a sneer, letting out a cold snort, but tears welled up in her eyes.

Seeing her cry like this, her husband, Mr. Zhou, took a towel to wipe her face and comforted her with a few words.

"Don't cry, smile. You might even live longer. Why are you crying when you see us We didn't come here to see you cry. It's not easy to go out with the whole family, you know" My brother scoffed.

"You little punk, don't be disrespectful." Dad scolded in a low voice.

Old Madam Shen spoke, “Forget it...Yun Fan is right... being able to see the two little ones, as well as that young man from the Mu family back then, and... Lao An, your father-in-law, indeed shouldn't cry.”

My brother was always the one to break the silence and lighten the mood. Seeing Old Mrs. Shen giving him a way out, he lazily stepped back from the center and leaned against the door, looking outside.

The Shen family bell rang, and soon people from the family gathered in the hall, inner disciples in the courtyard, and outer disciples on the platform at the mountain gate.

Three or four hundred people gathered, all waiting for Old Mrs. Shen to speak.

Shen Qingrui was also there. There was a faint scar on the side of her face, probably from being splashed with poison blood. To quickly suck out the poison blood, she had cut a small incision.

“…The Shen family has dwindled in population to maintain the seal on the evil array. Even thirty-six disciples within the inner sect are insufficient to shoulder the responsibility. Qingrui, who was originally heir apparent, is now seriously injured and needs time to recuperate. Therefore... Mu Xia Qiao temporarily takes charge of the Shen family, making all decisions... As for Mu Xia Qiao's identity, I needn't say more, shall I” Old Madam Shen choked out these words with great effort to the people of the Shen family.”

Basically, no one objected. The Shen family was under Jiang Qiyun's protection, and everyone knew about my relationship with him.

And my mother is from the Shen family, and the middle-aged and elderly generations of the Shen family are all very clear about this.

Shen Qingrui was clearly unconvinced. She might not care who the head of the family was, but she definitely didn't like being managed by me.

But her expression, one of anger held back, made me curious.

Given her arrogant personality, she wouldn't care about the size of the meeting. This is just an internal meeting of the Shen family; if she wanted to object, she would slam her table right away.

She said nonchalantly, "The family is empty. The Shen family actually wants an outsider to manage... Hmph, acting as the head of the house, entrusted with a crucial mission, you better perform well and not mess up the Shen family's reputation in your first task, making outsiders laugh at us."

Faced with danger I furrowed my brow, listening to her words, it seemed like the Shen family was currently in some kind of crisis.

“You bear the Shen family name but have no moral compass. You drove the old matriarch to ask me to take charge. Do you even have the face to speak of the Shen family Others see the so-called heir of the Shen family as a foolish, arrogant, ungrateful and tyrannical woman, they would have long since made fun of the Shen family.” I gave her a cold glance.

Shen Qingrui's face was extremely ugly. The people around her looked at her with a playful gaze, especially those of the same generation. They probably hadn't been spared by her oppression in the past. At this time, they all seemed to be gloating over her misfortune.

I cleared my throat. "Esteemed guests, I am young and inexperienced in this line of work... When my mother was the heir, she gave up her responsibilities for love. Now, I am merely stepping in to help the Shen family."

"My parents were originally the heirs of the Shen and Mu families, but because of family rules, my mother gave up, which also caused a falling out between the Shen and Mu families. Although I have the surname Mu, both my brother and I carry our mother's blood. Today, four generations of our family came to visit Old Mrs. Shen, hoping that the Shen family can also feel our sincerity in making amends."

“It’s always good to have more friends. In the future, the Shen and Mu families should cooperate with each other. It would be beneficial for both families. I hope that all elders, peers, and inner and outer disciples will abandon their past prejudices and conflicts, recuperate well, and restore the strength that a family should have.”

I secretly glanced at several elders of the Shen family, each nodding slightly in agreement.

In front of the clan members, Old Madam Shen handed me several symbolic items of the Shen family: a ring, a special seal, and so on.

In fact, none of these things matter to the Purple Cloud Jade Ruyi. The fact that I can use it already makes these people dare not disobey.

I put away my things and asked Old Madam Shen, "Auntie, is there anything going on in the Shen family currently"

The Shen family, though not as renowned and influential as the Situ family, was still highly regarded in their circle. They were mostly known for handling discreet affairs for officials and prominent figures. When a major corporation recently encountered difficulties, the Shen family was the first thought that came to mind.

The Shen family is now on the brink of collapse. Everyone knows that Old Madam Shen is about to settle her affairs, and they are all waiting to see the Shen family's status crumble. That's why Old Madam Shen sent someone to call me, hoping to entrust everything to me in the end.

Some elders of the Shen family stood up one after another, looking for red envelopes to give the two babies as a greeting gift.

I sat in the rocking chair, smiling and said to Shen Qingrui, "Shen Qingrui, that's your little master, don't you go pay your respects Since you consider yourself his subordinate, then you should recognize who is your mistress and who is your little master... Times change, the situation is different now. If you dare to overstep your boundaries again, don't blame me for dealing with you."

>e. 。I thought Senior Brother Jun was going to question me about something... "Thank you, Senior Brother, for your concern. Mu Wanchen wouldn't be the kind of person who bullies the weak, would he... I...
