Chapter 77 Puppetry
Zhayun City was close to the outer border. The five brothers and sisters accelerated their flying swords for three days before arriving at the Chi family.

The Chi family was located at the easternmost part of Zhayun City, an extremely beautiful place with rolling mountains and clouds lingering in between. The spiritual energy was as rich as the main peaks of those large sects.

"Senior Brother, the Chi family looks like a big fat sheep." Mo Anyi stared at the majestic mansion with sparkling eyes.

"Take it easy. After all, you are from a big family. If something really happens, even the master may not be able to take the blame. So try not to cause trouble." Cong Xingzhi pressed Mo Anyi's little head with his big hand.

The Chi family probably refused visitors because of Chi Muzhe's matter, and the door of the mansion was closed at this moment.

Cong Xingzhi walked forward and knocked on the door.

The door of the mansion was opened a crack, and a middle-aged steward poked his head out. Seeing that they had extraordinary temperament and high cultivation, he did not dare to neglect them, and immediately stepped forward to salute and asked:
"My fellow Taoists, what's the matter? The Chi Mansion is not receiving visitors these days. If you don't have anything important to do, please go back first."

"My senior sister is the eldest daughter of the Shen family. She is engaged to Chi Muzhe of your family, and the engagement has not been fulfilled yet. Now your Chi family says that he is possessed by a demon, and you haven't given an explanation yet. Isn't this obviously a marriage fraud? Do you think our Kunwu Sect is easy to bully?" Mo Anyi put his hands on his hips and cursed at the doorman.

"Is there anyone who cares about this matter? You have to give an explanation. Are you bullying us because we have no one in the Shen family, or are you bullying us because the sword cultivators of the Kunwu Sect can't lift their swords?"

Mo Anyi's attacks were like little cannonballs, and the concierge was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat.

He bent down and immediately went in to meet them, then ordered the servants to quickly invite the second master. Now that the head of the family was away, the second master was in charge of the Chi family.

The leading attendant led them through a courtyard full of colorful flowers and spiritual energy, and passed through several corridors before entering the lobby.

The person in the main hall was not Chi Mude, the head of the Chi family, but the second in command, Chi Muhua, who was in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul stage. His blue robe fluttered in the wind, and dark runes were embroidered on it. His clothes were all high-level spiritual tools, showing his wealth.

"Uncle Chi, how are you?" Shen Yunzhu took the lead in paying respect to the second in command of the Chi family as a junior.

"Well, well, nephew Shen, how are you?" Chi Muhua greeted them politely and motioned them to take a seat. The well-trained maids filed in and served tea and fruit.

"Come, come, this is the best Longxiang tea, with a pleasant aroma and abundant spiritual energy. Don't waste good tea." Chi Muhua raised the cup and took a sip of tea first.

Mo An also followed suit, picking up the teacup on the small tea table and sniffing it gently. It was a generous gesture, with a rich spiritual energy mixed with the fresh tea fragrance. After taking a sip of the tea, his mind felt relaxed and refreshed.

Then he drank up the tea in tons.

"Can I have a refill?"

After finishing her drink, Mo Anyi raised her hand to wait for a refill. When she looked up, she saw her senior sister looking at her with a bad face. She shrank her head and looked at Chi Muhua who was sitting up obediently, and asked innocently,
"Can't you refill the tea?"

Mo Anyi originally thought that the Chi family didn't look like a good family, so he should take advantage of them as much as he could, and even drinking an extra cup of spiritual tea would be a profit.

Chi Muhua's mouth twitched when Mo Anyi looked at him like a fat sheep. However, he was too proud to lose his status in front of the younger generation, so he could only bite the bullet and say:

"It's okay, it's okay, I can continue, I can continue, the child is still young, drink more, drink more"

When the maid saw the second master's gesture, she immediately came forward to pour tea, and then drank it all up.
The delicate white hand handed over the teacup, and the maid refilled it. Again, tons, tons, tons. . .

The maid standing by was also confused. She didn't know whether to continue.

"Well, since you like it so much, I'll ask the steward to bring some back for you to drink."

Chi Muhua had never found a good opportunity to speak. He only heard the sound of drinking water. His face was distorted. He had never seen a child from that family. How could the etiquette be so good? If you didn't know, you would think she was a beggar who came to ask for food. The rumor about Kunwu Sect was that they were really poor. It turned out that she came to him to beg for alms. Seeing this little girl drinking cup after cup, his heart ached. It was a high-grade spiritual tea. If it wasn't for preserving the identities of the two families, he wouldn't dare to take it out to treat guests like this.

Once the polite words are spoken, anyone who knows a little bit of etiquette will be embarrassed to refuse. He thought so in his heart, but he couldn't help it. Mo Anyi's brain circuit was not normal.

"Thank you, Master Chi. You are too polite. If we don't accept it, we will seem ignorant. So you can give me a little less. One or two kilograms will be enough to show your appreciation." Mo Anyi finally drank his fill, put down his teacup, and said shyly:

Shit, one or two kilograms is about right. This is Longxiang tea. The entire Chi family's collection is less than ten kilograms. Chi Muhua was so angry that his nose was about to be crooked, but he had to pretend to be decent and keep calm.

"Junior Sister" Cong Xingzhi called out, and with a look in her eyes, that was enough.
"Oh," Mo Anyi received the death-suppressing look from his senior brother and immediately sat down obediently.

"We came here on the orders of our master. We want to know how the Chi family plans to deal with this marriage contract. Since this has happened, the marriage contract should be cancelled," Cong Xingzhi asked.

"It is true that our Chi family did something wrong in this matter, but fellow Daoist, you also know that the clan is in a turmoil right now and there are always some things that we cannot take care of. The head of the family is mentally broken because of this evil thing. Although I will take over the clan affairs temporarily, the cancellation of the engagement involves two families, and I cannot make the decision. The elders of both families need to be present to discuss it. It is better for me to ask the head of the Shen family for instructions and wait for the letter from the other side to discuss it. What do you think, fellow Daoist?"

Chi Muhua thought that although this matter was a family affair between the Shen and Chi families, the Kunwu Sect was also among the top five sects, so he had to give them some face. He could only appease them first.

"You must be tired after such a long journey. Why don't you take a rest tonight?"

"That's the only way," Cong Xingzhi nodded in agreement.
"But let me say one more thing. A huge change has just taken place in the clan. For your safety, please do not move around," Chi Muhua warned a few people in a stern tone, and then signaled the servants to take them to the guest rooms to rest.

The Chi family's family tradition is not very good, but the business management is quite strict. These servants basically know nothing when asked. They don't even dare to chat, and just lead the way with their heads down. Mo Anyi wasted a lot of time and effort, but he didn't get any useful information.

The servant led them into the guest house in the backyard to rest and then left.

"Junior sister, what should we do next?" Ling Sheng asked impatiently after seeing the attendant leave.

Mo Anyi pointed his finger at the corner of his lips and made a gesture to keep quiet, then pointed at the communication jade slip and tapped it quickly.

[Senior Brother, look what this is] Mo Anyi pointed to a piece of paper stuck at their door. The white paper man was covered with dense runes. If it weren't for her sensitivity to spiritual energy, she would not have been able to detect it at all.

[Puppetry?] Cong Xingzhi's eyebrows tightened, and he tapped on the jade slip and explained: [This should be a puppetry to monitor our actions. It seems that they suspect the purpose of our visit this time.]

[However, a noble family actually uses these ghosts and monsters to practice magic. It seems that the Chi family is very deep.]

Ling Sheng was so angry that he was about to reach out to destroy the little paper puppet, but was stopped by Mo Anyi.
