445: Little Dragon Girl? Little Deaf Girl!

A woman weighing three hundred catties, with an elegant and graceful figure, stood slenderly in the pavilion, waiting for Yang Guo.

As a gentle breeze swept by, her hair swayed softly, adding a touch of tenderness.

She wore a light pink long dress, its hem fluttering in the wind like a blooming lotus.

Though her figure was plump, she exuded a unique charm that made one unable to resist taking a few extra glances.

Yang Guo saw her from afar, and a smile appeared on his face.

He quickened his steps and walked towards the pavilion.

The woman heard the footsteps, turned around, and revealed a sweet smile.

Her eyes were bright and clear, like a pristine spring.

Yang Guo walked up to her and immediately cast a Spell, asking with a bewildered expression, “Auntie? Why are you here?”

Little Deaf Girl smiled slightly and said, “Guo’er, was that the person they said saved the Family Head?”

Yang Guo nodded and said loudly, “Yes, Master Mi is very powerful. If it weren’t for him, we wouldn’t have known that Father’s mind was controlled by a Soul-Devouring Gu worm.”

Little Deaf Girl nodded, “So that’s how it is.”

Yang Guo: “I have something to do, so I’ll be leaving now, Auntie.”

“Go on, go on.”

Watching Yang Guo leave, the smile on her face instantly fell.

If only I were a Cultivator, maybe I could help Guo’er.

Night.

The night was dark and the moon high, perfect for getting things done.

Someone quietly entered Mi Xingfa’s room, and he respectfully bowed to him, “My Lord.”

“Hmm, how is your adaptation to the body?”

“Reporting to my Lord, it’s not very comfortable. Can I temporarily come out of the body?”

“No, if you damage the skin, and they discover something amiss, I’ll turn you into a blanket.”

“Yes, yes, yes, I was just joking.”

“Since you have adapted to the body’s condition, you will start having people search for an ancient spirit pill tomorrow, and also infiltrate our people into various Families.”

“Yes, are our personnel sufficient?”

“Don’t worry, a batch will arrive in a few days. You just need to handle these matters well; for the rest, listen to my command.”

“Yes, My Lord.”

“Hmm, go back. It won’t be fun if someone discovers you!”

“Alright, My Lord, I’ll leave immediately.”

As he finished speaking, he opened the door and saw Little Deaf Girl.

She was holding a basket, looking bewildered at Yang Family Head.

“Family Head?!”

The moment Yang Family Head saw her, he immediately had murderous intent, but then he remembered that the other party was deaf and probably couldn’t hear anything.

“What are you doing here?”

“What? Family Head, speak louder, I can’t hear you clearly.”

“Never mind, go back!”

“Oh, I’ll give this to Master Mi and then I’ll go back immediately.”

With that, she bumped past Yang Family Head and then handed the basket to Mi Xingfa.

With a grateful smile, she said, “Thank you, Master Mi, these are some pastries this little girl made. I hope Master Mi likes them.”

Mi Xingfa rubbed his ears. Damn, the Human Race speaks so loudly, it hurts his ears.

Should he just kill her? Her voice was too grating.

No, he’d better bear with it. Killing her now would alert the enemy, and there was no one to replace him.

Little Deaf Girl saw her Family Head’s displeased expression, put down the things, and quickly slipped away.

“What’s her situation?”

“Reporting to my Lord, she is deaf, the kind that cannot be cured by any method, so she cannot hear anything.”

“Her voice is too grating, it’s deafening.”

“That’s how it is. Ever since she became deaf, she has always spoken like that. Unless you communicate with her by channeling Spiritual Qi into her ears, she won’t be able to hear what you’re saying.”

“Alright, alright, leave.”

...

The Capital.

The Grand Elder sat in a comfortable office chair, holding a cup of fragrant Spirit Tea. His gaze swept over Xin Mulan, Jin Meiting, Lan Kun, and Ke Ming, who were in front of him, and he slowly spoke: “The Family Head of Eshigu Mountain has been missing for over ten days. Do you know about this?”

Lan Kun immediately replied, “Yes, wasn’t it said that he has already been found?”

The Grand Elder nodded and continued, “Yes, he has been found, but his temperament has undergone a drastic change.

It is said that he was afflicted by a Soul-Devouring Gu worm, which caused his mind to be controlled. What are your thoughts on this matter?”

Lan Kun frowned and asked in confusion, “Does the Grand Elder suspect that this matter was caused by someone else?”

The Grand Elder smiled faintly and said mysteriously, “Whether it is or not, we will only know after an investigation.”

At this moment, Jin Meiting suddenly interjected, “I also heard that Yang Family Head was cured by someone named Master Mi. Do you know who this Master Mi is?”

Ke Ming shook his head, indicating he knew nothing: “None of us have heard of this person. Perhaps it’s because our Realm is too low, so we don’t know him.”

Xin Mulan echoed, “If he were truly very powerful, then everyone should know him by now.”

The Grand Elder nodded in agreement, then said seriously, “Exactly. And after investigating the video footage that was sent back, what results did you obtain?”

Lan Kun nervously guessed, “Could it be an invader?”

The Grand Elder said with a solemn expression, “It is currently uncertain. According to our investigation, there is no record of his existence in this world.”

Jin Meiting frowned and asked in confusion, “So, Grand Elder, are you suspecting that an invader has already infiltrated the interior of Eshigu Mountain?”

The Grand Elder nodded, speaking in a serious tone, “This is why I called you all here. The security of Eshigu Mountain is of utmost importance, and we must ensure that no one can easily trespass. Now that such a mysterious figure has appeared, we cannot be complacent.”

Everyone nodded, indicating that they understood the gravity of the situation.

They began to discuss how to confirm the other party’s identity, investigate his purpose from Eshigu Mountain, and then eliminate him.

The next day.

Lan Kun, Jin Meiting, Ke Ming, and Xin Mulan arrived at Eshigu Mountain.

It was Yang Guo who came to greet them. He enthusiastically opened the door, a joyful smile on his face, and said, “You’ve finally come to visit! You must stay for a few more days this time.”

Xin Mulan teased, “Yes, yes, didn’t you keep pestering us to come visit? Don’t you dare say I’m too noisy then.”

Yang Guo quickly waved his hand in denial, saying, “No, no, you saved my life; you are my saviors. Who would ever dislike their saviors for being noisy?”

Xin Mulan responded with a laugh, “Mmm-hmm, that’s good, hahaha!”

Lan Kun looked at Yang Guo and asked with concern, “You look well. I suppose your injuries are mostly healed, right?”

Yang Guo nodded and replied, “Yes, I’ve fully recovered. Come in quickly.”

Jin Meiting observed Yang Guo carefully, secretly surprised.

She hadn’t expected him to have been as severely injured as a withered plant just a few days ago, yet now not only had his wounds healed rapidly, but his cultivation also seemed to have advanced by a minor Realm.

She couldn’t help but exclaim, was this the power of a Family’s foundation?

But it was also fortunate that they had saved Yang Guo; otherwise, they wouldn’t have known what excuse to use to come to Eshigu Mountain….
