With just a few words, Jun Yao rendered the two confident men speechless.

They conducted a background check before they came.

Based on the background information, Qiao Junyao is a fake heiress who has no status in her own family.

Logically speaking, he should be a tool who only nods, shakes his head, waves, and smiles.

But she deftly and effortlessly dismantled their usual tactics of moral pressure...

This "open-handed" attitude is completely different from the high society people they had previously encountered.

"Brother Xu, say something! You're the most experienced in this area! If you don't say anything now... how are we supposed to talk about this?" Yu Dong rubbed his chin, which was so sharp it could pierce an orange peel, and muttered in dissatisfaction.

The man wearing small, round, disc-shaped glasses is named Lin Xu.

His official identity is a hearse driver at the funeral home.

His facial features, clothing, and overall demeanor all suggest a refined and reserved personality.

But his companion Yu Dong knew best that this man was more ruthless than any demon refiner.

When they first started working together, Yu Dong was curious and inquired about what kind of monster had hurt Lin Xu so much that he could be so ruthless towards it.

After all, everything in this world needs a physical form.

Even a monster with a beautiful appearance can sometimes evoke a sense of pity in people.

Yu Dong once met a very beautiful carp spirit with Lin Xu.

She has been cultivating herself in the release pond of the Taoist temple for many years.

Because he had never harmed anyone, his aura was clean and proper.

When Yu Dong was young, he was attracted to the carp spirit and even thought about keeping her for a few days so that she could become his girlfriend and increase his dating experience.

Little did anyone know, before it even got dark that day, Lin Xu had turned the carp spirit into a pile of dust.

The clean, fine white powder was neatly placed into a glass container.

A vibrant life was transformed into a cold, lifeless drug formula in the blink of an eye.

"No wonder you've become rich." Yu Dong said this jokingly at the time, but from then on, he had absolute respect for Lin Xu.

Lin Xu, who is always decisive and ruthless, had no intention of showing any mercy when he faced the old snake spirit guarding the Phoenix Cave.

However, the disparity in strength between the two sides was too great.

Moreover, the old snake spirit's sores were indeed potent.

Therefore, Lin Xu has been using various methods to throw out the Phoenix Grotto as a hook to the general public, just waiting for those fools who have some skills but are only interested in fame and not profit to make a move.

Their plan was like the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

They had previously learned that the show "Heartbeat Threshold 3" would be filmed in Qingmo Village, and based on the show's previous two seasons, they knew that the production team would invite some experts to work with the show's guests to solve problems.

After hearing that Liang Jingu, the top colleague in Jiangcheng, was also participating in this season's recording, Lin Xu secretly disguised himself as a villager in advance, waiting for the right opportunity to make his move.

After eagerly anticipating their arrival, we were so excited to finally see them, but before we knew it, the old snake spirit was taken away as soon as the show started filming!

The opponent was so fast and skillful that he couldn't find any clues at the scene!

Lin Xu has been eating ghost food for almost 30 years.

I've never seen a living person with such powerful demon-capturing skills.

He assumed that Liang Jingu had improved their sect's demon-catching skills.

However, at this moment, facing the aloof and world-weary Jun Yao, he suddenly had a strong intuition:

It must have taken a lot of effort from Madam Zhou to capture this old snake demon.

As for what role she played in this process, he was still unclear.

But the more difficult something is to see through at a glance, the more interesting it becomes.

The frustration in Lin Xu's eyes gradually turned into appreciation with a hint of "mutual understanding".

"Madam, you are aware that there are many media cameras lurking around the mansion, right? If we continue to say these things standing at the door, it could cause quite a social upheaval if it gets out."

Lin Xu pointed to himself and said, "People like us at the grassroots level don't worry about public opinion pressure, but for someone like you who is full of fame and fortune, the cost and expense of maintaining public relations is probably not low."

His words were much more palatable.

But Junyao still wouldn't buy it.

"I only have one condition: if you want something, bring your price and we'll discuss it. My time is very valuable, so if you don't have anything else to do, just leave the way you came."

Seeing that she was really about to leave, Lin Xu hurriedly said, "Madam is still too young! She hasn't experienced the suffering caused by these demons! If you believe he can bring you some benefits now, who knows how much you'll suffer in the future! Even if you don't think about yourself, shouldn't you think about your husband? His health has always been poor; how can the family tolerate a powerful demon?"

Lin Xu deliberately dragged Zhou Yichuan into this matter as well.

The purpose was to get the other members of the Zhou family to put pressure on Jun Yao.

Junyao initially had a bad first impression of Yu Dong and Lin Xu.

But it's not to the point of disgust.

Now I'm really annoyed by them both.

Just at this moment, Uncle Zhou personally accompanied an elderly man with white hair to the Linshui Mansion.

As soon as they got out of the car, they overheard Lin Xu's righteous threat.

Uncle Zhou frowned and quickly stepped forward to ask carefully, "What great demon? A great demon at the Linshui Mansion?! How is that possible? How can that be allowed?"

Junyao had dealt with the Zhou family's noisy relatives a few times.

She was already annoyed by their attitude of lecturing her without asking any questions.

Therefore, no matter how much Uncle Zhou glared and scolded her, she simply stood quietly with her head down, as if these things had nothing to do with her.

Compared to scrutinizing Zhou's fourth uncle, who was unremarkable, Jun Yao was more concerned about the white-haired old man he had brought with him.

Even from several meters away, Jun Yao could clearly smell the strong, damp scent emanating from that person.

It smelled exactly the same as when she first discovered that Old Madam Zhou had a sickly aura.

If nothing unexpected happens, this white-haired old man should be the old friend of Mrs. Zhou who they were talking about, who has settled overseas.

Right under Madam Zhou's nose, the person who had changed the name of the warm white jade pendant was quietly replaced.

He went on and on like this several times, and I don't know why.

But we'll probably have an answer soon.

Junyao was eager to hear how this person would try to justify himself.

However, to everyone's surprise, Lin Xu and Yu Dong actually knew this old man.

"Boss Ye!" Lin Xu and Yu Dong were both shocked.

Yu Dong's eyes were even more fawning than before.

"When did you return to China? I've never heard you mention it! You should have told us sooner, we definitely would have come to pick you up!"
