Chapter 283 Provocation from the Mu Clan
"I see you have a lot of people patrolling. How many patrolling mages does your manor actually have?" Mo Fan couldn't help but ask.
"There are a total of 123 people. In addition to the original manor guards, the master has also transferred many men from the family during this period. Of course, he has also invited some experts from families with which we have a long-standing relationship. If anything happens, we hope you will not make any announcements. Of course, we will also keep the news under wraps. The master will reward you handsomely once everything has calmed down," said the head guard, Haiyan, earnestly.
Meanwhile, an outdoor swimming pool in the manor was illuminated by LED lights, revealing stripes of different colors. The water was exceptionally clean, and several elegant tables were set up around the edge of the pool, laden with countless snacks, fruits, and various drinks.
Lingling, Zhang Xiaohou, Zhao Manyan, Chenying, and Xinxia were leisurely playing cards around the table. Zhang Xiaohou and Zhao Manyan had countless pieces of paper stuck to their faces, and Chenying wasn't much better off, with four or five pieces of paper sparsely stuck to her face.
Lingling and Xinxia didn't have a single note on their faces. Finally, Zhang Xiaohou couldn't take it anymore and threw his playing cards on the table, saying, "I'm not playing anymore. This Dou Dizhu game is either Xinxia or you, Lingling, it's not fun at all."
"Yeah, yeah, we can accept Lingling relying on her brainpower to calculate, but Xinxia, you can't cheat! You're using your mind to figure out what the other person is thinking when you're playing cards," Chenying couldn't help but chime in.
Xinxia blushed slightly and said somewhat shyly, "I didn't mean to, it's just that it's too easy to guess what you're thinking."
When playing cards, Xinxia saw through their thoughts without using any mind magic, so she didn't need to deliberately use mind magic at all.
"Sigh, now I understand why casinos in Macau put 'No Spiritual Masters Allowed' in front of 'No Minors Allowed' signs," Zhao Manyan said with a helpless expression.
While Xin Xia and the others were chatting, two figures climbed out of the swimming pool. The water beneath their feet emanated a chilling aura, even showing signs of freezing. The two were a man and a woman, and they were fairly good-looking.
"Some abilities are habits, and they're hard to control, just like no one wants to swim with us." The man walked to the table, grabbed a cocktail, and drank it down in one gulp.
"(ˉ▽￣～) Tch~~, that's just you guys. Jiang Han also majors in ice magic, so why can he control it so freely? And Mu Xiu, nobody's talking to you here, so don't come over and try to make your presence known. Besides, my uncle called you guys over to guard the yard, not for a vacation," Zhao Manyan said unhappily.
"This is Shanghai, the Demon Capital. I don't believe any demons could possibly break in. Even if they did, our Mu family has set up an Ice and Snow Demon-Sealing Array in the manor specifically to deal with fire-attribute creatures," the woman beside Mu Xiu said with a smile.
At this moment, Lingling spoke up and asked, "Chenying, there's something I'm curious about. Do you know why your mother wanted you to attack the Flame Witch? Logically speaking, since she's lived with the Flame Witch for so long, it would have been most appropriate for her to ambush her."
"I don't know either. After my mother gave me the Cold Iron Spikes, she told me to wait for an opportunity to ambush the Flame Witch. I just did as she said. For some reason, when I stabbed her with the Cold Iron Spikes, she not only didn't dodge, but also took the initiative to remove the flames from her body, as if she was afraid of hurting me." Chen Ying shook her head. She didn't quite understand why the Flame Witch did that.
"The Ice and Snow Sealing Magic Array is indeed a good ice magic array, but it's a bit weak for her."
Just then, a detached voice came from not far away. At first, Zhao Manyan and Zhang Xiaohou did not react, but after they heard the familiar voice, they realized what was happening.
She immediately turned her head and looked over. Xin Xia was so excited that she tried to stand up and walk towards that familiar figure. But she was about to stumble and fall when a figure familiar to Zhang Xiaohou and the others caught her just as she was about to fall.
"Who are you, daring to look down on the Mu Clan's Ice and Snow Sealing Demon Formation?" Mu Tingyue said, frowning.
"Do I need to look down on you?" Jiang Han said calmly.
Although his mother had been rescued from the Mu family by his father, he still didn't have a good impression of the Mu family. He had imprisoned his mother for so many years that he had never seen her since he was a child. How could Jiang Han possibly have a good impression of the Mu family?
"You!" Mu Tingyue trembled with anger.
Upon seeing Mu Tingle's appearance, Mu Xiu's eyes shone with a sky-blue starlight, and then countless wisps of cold air emanated from his body. The water stains at his feet instantly turned into ice shards, and many ice blocks appeared on the edge of the swimming pool.
Faced with Mu Xiu's provocation, Jiang Han didn't tolerate it. He released his Absolute Zero Domain, instantly freezing the swimming pool. Snowflakes even began to fall from the sky. The biting cold made Mu Xiu and Mu Tingle shiver.
Jiang Han's current control is quite good. The absolute zero cold only affects Mu Xiu and Mu Ting Le. Zhao Manyan, Zhang Xiaohou, Lingling and others are still fine.
"This...this is an ice-type domain?" Mu Xiu said, his voice trembling slightly.
"This is a warning. If you want to continue, I'm ready anytime," Jiang Han said indifferently.
"Ahem, Jiang Han, it's time to get down to business," Mo Fan coughed and then spoke.
After Mo Fan finished speaking, a blush rose on Xin Xia's pretty face, who was being held in Jiang Han's arms. She hurriedly struggled to sit back down, but Jiang Han had no choice but to let go of her and let her sit properly in the chair.
"When the Flame Witch comes looking for Zhao Yulin and his wife—no, when Zhao Yulin and that woman seek revenge—you'd better not get involved, or you'll suffer the consequences. Don't blame me for not warning you," Jiang Han said, looking at Zhao Manyan and Zhang Xiaohou.
"Jiang Han, what do you mean by this? Did my parents do something to you? Why are you saying this?" Chen Ying said angrily.
"You'll know when she arrives. I hope you won't regret it then," Jiang Han said calmly.
Upon seeing Jiang Han's pitying gaze, Chen Ying suddenly felt a sense of panic, as if something was about to happen that she would deeply regret.
"Okay." Zhao Manyan and Zhang Xiaohou answered without hesitation.
They trusted Jiang Han completely. They didn't think Jiang Han would betray them. Although Zhao Yulin was Zhao Manyan's uncle, the couple had both abandoned each other when disaster struck, let alone relatives. In a real crisis, he wouldn't risk his life for his uncle.
While Jiang Han was explaining various matters to Zhao Manyan and Zhang Xiaohou, at Shanghai Airport, a taxi was speeding along the busy road at 200 miles per hour. Along the way, countless drivers were cursing the driver's ancestors with the most vulgar language.
After the taxi reached the southwestern suburbs of Shanghai, the passenger in the back seat suddenly demanded to get out. This puzzled the driver, who asked, "Ma'am, didn't you say you had a fever of 41 degrees Celsius and needed me to take you to the hospital immediately?"
But the passenger ignored him and instead took out a pink wallet from his pocket, took out two red 100-yuan bills and threw them to the driver.
P.S.: I'd like to ask for some free votes!!!
