Chapter 1359: Chapter 1353:

The Mu Family Patriarch hadn’t agreed to Xin Lin’s earlier request, because he felt that even Chu Beiqing couldn’t cure his illness, let alone Xin Lin.

That was Ghost Energy invading the body.

Xin Lin had also guessed as much. She just wanted to prove to the Mu Family Patriarch that she could help extend his life.

"Big brother, don’t listen to her spouting nonsense and confusing people."

Ghost Shiva barked from the side.

"Family Head, what exactly are you all talking about?"

Mu Chen was also very puzzled.

The Mu Family Patriarch looked at Xin Lin, only to see that there wasn’t the slightest panic on her small face.

To have such composure at such a young age was really not easy.

He thought of Murong Ziyue’s strength, and also her Martial Meridian...

"Ziyue’s Martial Meridian, was it really cured by you?"

The Mu Family Patriarch asked again.

"Of course. Master Mu can testify. Master Mu, I’m not wrong, am I?"

Xin Lin glanced at Mu Chen.

This time, Mu Chen didn’t sing a different tune from Xin Lin.

"That’s right. After Ziyue was gravely injured, it was Xin Lin who treated her. But as for the specifics of the treatment, I’m not clear either."

Mu Chen had always half-believed, half-doubted Xin Lin’s Medical Skill.

"Good. If you can eradicate that female ghost, this old man will keep his word with you."

The Mu Family Patriarch was also someone who acted swift and decisive. Since there was an opportunity, and it wouldn’t cause any substantial damage to Fengdong, he naturally was willing to give it a try.

But Ghost Shiva’s reaction was different.

Her old face had gone dark, but in front of the Old Family Master, she couldn’t erupt.

After all, this concerned the Old Family Master’s life. Just a moment ago, that little girl had even said in front of the Old Family Master that she wanted to seize the Family Head position. At this moment, she couldn’t go against it, otherwise it would only make big brother suspect her.

So, Mu Chen led Xin Lin and Ghost Shiva, the three of them, out of the East Court.

"Mu San, just look at what sort of person you’ve brought back. Our Fengdong’s business, and you let an outsider stick her nose in. If word gets out, I’d lose all my face. Tell her to roll as far away as she can."

Ghost Shiva snapped irritably, glaring fiercely at Mu Chen.

She didn’t like Xin Lin, and by extension, she even started resenting Mu Chen, who had brought Xin Lin back.

Mu Chen’s face was full of embarrassment, but he wasn’t some easy pushover either.

"Auntie, look, the Family Head has already spoken. If Xin Lin gets driven away at this point, that would be defying the Family Head’s orders. I respect you very much, Auntie, but the Family Head’s word is above Heaven. Auntie, please be a bit considerate."

Ghost Shiva let out two cold laughs.

"Then let her investigate. Just don’t come crying if she can’t even keep her little life."

After Ghost Shiva finished speaking, her cane struck the ground heavily, and in an instant, the scene before their eyes changed.

Xin Lin was slightly startled.

"Don’t worry. This is Ghost Shiva’s Shrinking Ground Technique, a Sixth-rank Spirit Technique. That Old Ghost Witch is very formidable. Of all the people in Fengdong you could have offended, you just had to offend her."

Mu Chen’s head was aching. He shot Xin Lin a look, signaling her not to panic.

The scenery around them shifted, as if they were riding on a Xuan Bird, with the wind whistling past their ears.

This was also a kind of Spirit Art. Xin Lin immediately understood.

Clearly, Ghost Shiva was deliberately showing off her Spirit Art to make Xin Lin back down.

Xin Lin remained expressionless, observing quietly in the Dark.

She also knew that the gap in strength between herself and Ghost Shiva was enormous. If she wanted to rescue Murong Ziyue and her mother, she could only rely on wits, not brute force.

Ghost Shiva’s Shrinking Ground Technique was indeed effective.

Fengdong City was that big, and with the distance to the outskirts added in, yet after she used the Shrinking Ground Technique, it took only a few breaths’ time. In Xin Lin’s ears, the chirping of insects could already be heard; they had arrived at the outskirts.
