When Yuan Mu Ye heard this, he was stunned for a moment. Why did the sentence sound so familiar? It felt like he’d heard it somewhere before.

"What pet?" Yuan Mu Ye asked instinctively.

The old man glanced at him and said, "It's useless to tell you!"

Yuan Mu Ye was speechless, feeling that this old man was a bit strange.

"By the way, why would a living person like you mix with evil spirits?" the old man suddenly asked.

Yuan Mu Ye’s heart skipped a beat. He didn't know how to answer the old man's question. Naturally, he couldn't reveal the truth. The fewer people who knew about this, the better. If too many people knew, who would bear the responsibility if it was accidentally leaked?

"Old man, I don't know how to explain it to you. In short, I'm not colluding with him."

Yuan Mu Ye's tone was very firm, and his eyes were very serious.

The old man could sense that he wasn't lying.

"Forget it. In this world, it's hard to tell humans from ghosts. If you feel you can live with your conscience, then follow your own heart. I don't want to make things difficult for you. You can go!"

The old man waved his hand and said.

Yuan Mu Ye was stunned, not expecting the old man to let him go so quickly. He had thought he would be pestered!

But this was a good thing for him.

"Thank you!" Yuan Mu Ye didn't know what to say, so after holding it in for a long time, he only managed to utter this sentence.

"I didn't do anything, you don't need to thank me."

As soon as he finished speaking, the old man turned and left.

At the same time, Yuan Mu Ye heard the old man say something about going to find his pet!

This was really too strange!

Yuan Mu Ye muttered softly in his heart, then turned and walked out of the alley.

As he walked, he thought about what the old man had said.

*Find a pet* – where had he heard that before?

After some searching, Yuan Mu Ye actually remembered.

When Yuan Mu Ye was in Jiang City before, didn't he meet Tian Tian? Tian Tian had also said that she was looking for her pet.

The old man's tone was so similar to Tian Tian's.

The only difference was that Tian Tian was a little girl, while the old man was old enough to be Tian Tian's grandmother.

Was this a coincidence?

Just as Yuan Mu Ye thought of this, someone suddenly patted him on the shoulder. He was so engrossed in his thoughts that he was startled.

"Little Mu, did that smelly beggar do anything to you?"

Wang Ming stared at Yuan Mu Ye, who had just come back to his senses, and asked.

He saw that Yuan Mu Ye was distracted, and thought that Yuan Mu Ye had been frightened.

Yuan Mu Ye immediately put on a pitiful look and said, "I was beaten up by that smelly beggar just now, boo hoo, Brother Ming, if I hadn't stopped her, she would have definitely chased after you."

On the one hand, he showed his pitiful state, and on the other hand, he reminded Wang Ming that he had helped Wang Ming.

Wang Ming also knew that he had abandoned Yuan Mu Ye just now, so he already felt a little guilty about it. Hearing Yuan Mu Ye say this, he was even more grateful to Yuan Mu Ye.

"Little Mu, thank you so much for what happened just now. If it wasn't for you, I would definitely have suffered a great loss today."

Although Wang Ming wasn't the old man's opponent, he would have no problem escaping with his strength. However, he didn't want to fight the old man. In that case, his vital energy would be depleted, which wasn't worth it.

That's why he abandoned Yuan Mu Ye and ran away by himself.

Wang Ming initially thought that the old man wouldn't let Yuan Mu Ye go, but Yuan Mu Ye came out alive.

After this incident, Wang Ming trusted Yuan Mu Ye even more.

"Brother Ming, what are you talking about? For you, it's worth going through fire and water!" Even Yuan Mu Ye himself almost believed what he said.

Wang Ming patted him on the shoulder with some emotion and said, "Good, with a good brother like you, I'm not afraid of failing to conquer Yun City. Tonight, I'll take you to see my base camp."

Hearing this, Yuan Mu Ye was even more excited. He had been worrying about how to get Wang Ming to take him to see the base camp, but he didn't expect Wang Ming to bring it up himself.

However, Yuan Mu Ye also knew in his heart that Wang Ming was doing this because of what had just happened.

Yuan Mu Ye didn't expect that the old man had indirectly helped him.

"Brother Ming, really?"

"Of course, it's true. Then you will know how wise it is to follow me. You must have been frightened just now. I'll take you out for something to eat."

After Wang Ming took Yuan Mu Ye out to eat, he told Yuan Mu Ye to go back and rest, saying that he would have Yuan Mu Ye meet him outside the city that night.

After Yuan Mu Ye returned home, he originally wanted to call Li Pang Pang over, but on second thought, he felt that doing so was too dangerous. Although he had now gained Wang Ming's trust, it was hard to guarantee that Wang Ming wouldn't send someone to follow him.

Forget it, he should just give Li Pang Pang a call.

At this time, Li Pang Pang was still accompanying Yu Hai Jing at the company!

Yu Hai Jing had lost a lot of weight recently because of Wang Ming, so Li Pang Pang was very worried.

When he received Yuan Mu Ye's call, Li Pang Pang answered it immediately.

"Mu Ye, where are you now? Did that guy do anything to you?"

"I'm at home now, you don't have to worry. I'm calling you because I want to tell you that that guy will take me to see his base camp tonight. When I find out the situation over there, you and I will go to the Spirit Control Bureau together."

As long as they found out the situation there, Yuan Mu Ye and the others could come up with a countermeasure.

"Okay, then be careful. If you find anything wrong, leave immediately." Li Pang Pang reminded him with some worry.

He knew how dangerous this trip was. Although he really wanted to accompany Yuan Mu Ye, he knew that even if he went, he wouldn't be able to help Yuan Mu Ye, but would only cause trouble for him.

So, instead of doing that, it was better to stay here and wait!

"Okay, I won't talk anymore!"

After saying that, Yuan Mu Ye hung up the phone directly, and then entered the jade stone world.

There were some things he still had to ask Wang Da Yong.

When he came to the jade stone world again, he found that the houses that were still under construction before had already been built, and the space was much larger than before.

The tranquility and peace inside were in stark contrast to the outside.

He wondered when the outside world would be able to become like this!

Yuan Mu Ye didn't know, but he believed that the real world would always get better one day!

"Gun Gun!"

Yuan Mu Ye saw Gun Gun at a glance.

Gun Gun seemed to be even bigger than before.

Gun Gun rolled up to Yuan Mu Ye and kept rubbing against him, as if asking him for food.

Yuan Mu Ye touched Gun Gun's head and said in a gentle tone, "Gun Gun, I'm really sorry, I've been too busy recently and haven't had time to find medicinal herbs for you. But don't worry, I will definitely find you the best medicinal herbs after I'm done, so just bear with it for now!"
