Chapter 247: The Strange Old Man

After City Master Li left, Mu Yunxuan's eyes narrowed slightly, as cold as blood, and shot straight at City Master Li's back.

Huaijin trembled slightly after figuring out the matter.

"Master, this is very dangerous." Huaijin also looked disapproving.

Su Zimo's face suddenly darkened, and the hands hidden under her sleeves seemed to tighten slightly, and she glanced at Mu Yunxuan and Huaijin.

"The things I have decided will not change. I will be away for a few months. If something happens here, I will always feel uneasy."

"Huaijin, you go back and do your work first!"

Huaijin looked at her steadily, with a hint of forbearance flashing in his eyes.

Finally, he reluctantly replied: "Yes."

"Mo'er."

A slight smile appeared on the corner of Su Zimo's lips, lightly without too many emotions, and she raised her eyes to look at him tenderly.

"I know you are worried about me, but if you don't do this, how can you find out the truth of the matter? Although this matter is not within the scope of what we should do, we cannot sit idly by."

Hearing this, Mu Yunxuan fell silent, and what on earth was he thinking? These years, even though I haven't been by Mo'er's side, Mo'er has been living a good life! He suddenly felt that his worries were unnecessary and that he should trust her more.

"Mom, are you going back now?" Su Yue asked cautiously. He felt that there were subtle changes between his father and mother.

"If you don't want to go back, don't you want to go shopping in the market? It's rare that you have free time today, and my mother's wound has healed a lot, so let's continue shopping!"

Su Zimo's red lips moved slightly, and her voice was calm and gentle, without any strangeness at all.

Mu Yunxuan's eyes flickered, and he looked at the vendor selling Warcraft opposite. Maybe something happened at home, and he had already started to close the stall.

Su Zimo also saw it. She turned around and saw a noodle maker next door. Su Zimo suddenly became interested. She had been here in ancient times for so long. To be honest, she hadn't gone shopping properly. The weather was nice today. Why don't you take a nice stroll and make a face-to-face visit?

"Yunxuan, Yue'er, let's go make the dough."

Mu Yunxuan smiled faintly, recovering from the initial shock and worry, and finally slowly integrated and relaxed.

The person making the dough was an old man with gray hair. When he saw Su Zimo and the others coming over, he smiled kindly.

"This lady is so good-looking." The old man smiled and said, looking at Mu Yunxuan and Su Yue.

"Thank you, old man! Can you help us find some faces for our family?"

Seeing the old man's kind smile, Su Zimo even had a deep respect in his tone.

"Wait a moment, madam!" The old man looked at Su Zimo, and began to knead the dough that had melted into color with both hands.

In just half a stick of incense, the old man had made six figures and fixed them on top with wooden boards with holes. The faces of the adults were her and Mu Yunxuan, and the other four were three men and one woman. They are very similar and lifelike.

When Su Zimo took a look, she frowned and looked deeply at the old man.

As if sensing Su Zimo's gaze, the old man raised his eyes and smiled slightly.

"Madam, is there anything wrong? Madam just asked me to pinch a whole family?"

"It is indeed a family." Su Zimo replied undeniably, but she did not say how many family members she had, and the old man never asked why he knew that he had pinched six people.

Mu Yunxuan looked at the old man with a stunning face, and a flash of doubt quickly flashed across his face.

"Grandpa, you pinched one more boy."

Su Yue was happy today and talked a lot more. Her usually cold face lost the coldness and gained the aura that a child should have.

"Not much, not much." The old man quickly stopped and smiled even brighter.

Su Zimo became even more confused now, "Old man, my son is right, I did have an extra child."

Su Zimo said in confusion, and began to detect the old man's cultivation. Unexpectedly, the old man seemed to sense it, and a strong aura blocked Su Zimo's prying eyes.

Mu Yunxuan's was also blocked back.

The two of them looked at each other quickly, especially Mu Yunxuan, who squinted his eyes so that the emotions in his eyes could not be seen clearly. His first-level Xuanwu level was blocked by the old man.

"Madam, okay, it's one tael of silver in total."

One tael of silver? Su Zimo looked at the man with the face. One tael of silver for five men with the face was a bit expensive.

What Su Zimo cares about is not the money, but the old man's behavior.

Does that extra child mean something?

Mu Yunxuan paid the money, and Su Zimo took the face. A refreshing fragrance entered her nose, and a flash of surprise flashed in Su Zimo's eyes!

"Is there an phoenix scent in this dye?"

Hearing this, a trace of surprise flashed in the old man's eyes!

"Madam, do you recognize the phoenix flower?"

Su Zimo's eyes flashed and she said calmly: "I just met him before. Thank you very much, old man."

Su Zimo winked at Mu Yunxuan, and the couple hugged Su Zimo and turned to leave.

The old man looked at the backs of the couple and frowned in thought. This girl was the first one to recognize that there were phoenix flowers in his dough.

The old man withdrew his gaze and began to close the stall.

Su Zimo pondered all the way, always feeling that the old man was a bit strange.

"Yunxuan, let's go back and take a look. I always think that old man is a bit weird."

"good!"

The two of them hugged Su Yue and quickly turned back.

"Gone?" Su Zimo said with a hint of surprise, looking at where the old man had set up his stall.

"Even I can't detect the old man's cultivation level."

"It seems that he is another hidden master."

Su Zimo said lightly.

"Let's go! Let's go to other places to have a look. Li'er, do you want to eat stinky tofu?"

"No." Su Li shook his head quickly.

Mu Yunxuan's eyebrows twitched when he heard the word stinky tofu. He seemed to have only smelled that thing but never seen it. Can you really eat that taste?

"Haha! I'm just kidding you? Let's go! Let's go and buy some things we need."

The family of three walked until the sun set before returning to the restaurant.

"I bought a lot today!" Su Zimo held the things she found, looking excited. These things are absolutely not seen in modern times, but they were the most practical in ancient times.

"Mo'er, let me take it."

Mu Yunxuan followed her and wanted to take the things in Su Zimo's hand, but unfortunately, his hands were full, and he was holding Su Li in one hand, so he couldn't take the things in his hand.

"You can't even carry it yourself."

Mu Yunxuan lowered his eyes, looked at the things in his hands, and sighed secretly in his heart. Other young ladies and wives went out and bought precious things, but why did Mo'er pick up these cheap things, and Mo'er treated them as treasures.

"Let's go to the front and rent a carriage." Su Zimo saw that Mu Yunxuan's hands were also full, and couldn't help but chuckle.

Jun Lintian, who came back from Wushan, saw Su Zimo and the others from a distance.

He quickly dodged to the corner and stretched his head to look at the family of three.

Suddenly, his heart ached slightly. Seeing them get along harmoniously, he felt very dazzling.

A pair of eyes coldly glanced at Mu Yunxuan's back, and his face instantly darkened. This man was his biggest obstacle.

And his face full of anger, a pair of eyes that seemed to be spitting fire, was like catching his wife cheating on him.

He never thought about it carefully. Is he still related to her? Is there still a possibility between them? But Jun Lintian, who was blinded by jealousy, could not see these at all.

Jun Lintian sneered in his heart, turned around, and walked straight forward, with a determined back.

The night gradually darkened. Su Zimo did not tell her parents about her plan. She was afraid that they would worry. She just lied that she was going out for a walk and asked Su Zinian to take care of Su Qi for her.

Mu Yunxuan and Su Li came to the place agreed with Li Qiao.

Mu Yunxuan brought them to a dilapidated courtyard.

Li Qiao was waiting in the house with a man.

Seeing Mu Yunxuan and the others, he quickly stood up.

"You are here?"

"Are you afraid that I will not obey?"

Su Zimo smiled indifferently. She has never been a person who does not keep her word.

"Madam, you are too kind. Please come in!"

Li Qiao led them into the house. There was another man in the house.

"Holy Lord, Madam, this is my right-hand man Feng Qingyang. Madam, I have prepared a human skin mask for you. After you put on the human skin mask, just go to the inner room and lie down and wait! We will ambush nearby. Once there is a sound here, we will appear immediately."

"Okay!" Su Zimo took the human skin mask and put it on.

Looking around, this is a courtyard with three rooms and one entrance. It is a mud house with old and simple furniture. Su Zimo glanced at Li Jiao. He really knows how to choose a place. Such an ordinary family has no defense at all, which is just right for thieves to start. At this time, an old lady came out of the next room.

She looked at Mu Yunxuan and Su Zimo timidly.

"Husband, Madam, please follow me."

"Okay!"

Su Zimo turned around and winked at Mu Yunxuan and Su Li.

Mu Yunxuan nodded without saying much.

After Su Zimo entered the house, Mu Yunxuan and Li Jiao also disappeared into the house.

Soon after, all the lights in the house went out. As she had reached the first stage of the Saint Xuan period, Su Zimo could see at night. She suddenly felt that she could see things clearly in the dark, and she was no longer afraid.

Just as Su Zimo was about to fall asleep, she keenly heard a collision. She looked up at the window with sharp eyes. A figure flashed by.
