Seeing the strange look on the woman's face, Ouyang Qingming had a rough idea of what was going on, but he still pretended to be nonchalant, smiling as he said, "Oh dear, I know you're worried about me, that's why you came. But my injuries are already much better."

To his surprise, the woman's expression turned even worse.

The woman looked at Ouyang Qingming with a serious expression and asked, "I have a question for you, and you must answer me honestly."

Ouyang Qingming frowned slightly and said, "Mom, ask away!"

"Are you colluding with evil ghosts?" the woman asked bluntly.

She felt there was no need to beat around the bush with her son. It either was or it wasn't.

Before Ouyang Qingming could answer, the woman felt very nervous because she didn't want to hear her son admit to it.

Ouyang Qingming was stunned. He hadn't expected his mother to suddenly ask this, and he subconsciously glanced at Ji Lao.

Ji Lao looked helpless, wanting to say something, but at this moment, anything he said would be inappropriate.

Because if he did, he would be exposed.

"Why are you looking at Ji Lao? Are you really colluding with evil ghosts?" the woman asked again.

In fact, seeing Ouyang Qingming's reaction, she had already guessed what was happening, but she was unwilling to admit it.

There were some things she could turn a blind eye to, but this was not one of them, because it concerned the entire Ouyang family. If something unexpected happened, it wouldn't just be Ouyang Qingming who would be in trouble, but the entire Ouyang family.

"Mom, what are you talking about? How could I collude with evil ghosts? Did someone badmouth me to you?" Ouyang Qingming said with a serious expression.

The woman looked at Ouyang Qingming with some disappointment. It wasn't that she didn't trust her son, but she knew him too well. Whenever Ouyang Qingming lied, his expression would become particularly serious.

She really didn't understand. The Ouyang family already had power and influence, so why would Ouyang Qingming want to collude with evil ghosts?

"I'll ask you one last time, have you colluded with evil ghosts?" the woman asked, still unwilling to give up. After all, he was her son, and she really couldn't accept it.

Ouyang Qingming suddenly didn't dare to look the woman in the eye, because he was afraid of being found out.

After calming himself down, Ouyang Qingming looked at the woman with a deliberately calm expression and said, "No."

This time, the woman was completely disappointed.

The son she had worked so hard to cultivate had actually fallen to this point!

"You've really disappointed me too much!"

After saying that, the woman got up and left.

Ouyang Qingming wanted to stop her, but Ji Lao winked at him, so he had no choice but to give up, only instructing his assistant to follow the woman.

Soon, only Ouyang Qingming and Ji Lao were left in the private room.

Ouyang Qingming spoke first, asking Ji Lao in confusion, "Ji Lao, how did my mother find out about this? Didn't you just arrive in Yun City?"

"It was that kid Yuan Munye who told her. I originally wanted to go and teach him a lesson, but I didn't expect him to say that."

Ji Lao felt very annoyed when he thought about it.

He and Yuan Munye had formed a deep grudge.

Ouyang Qingming slammed the table and cursed, "It's Yuan Munye again! That kid almost crippled me, and now he's telling my mother about this. If my mother tells my father, we'll both have to roll back to the First Capital City!"

He had been planning in Yun City for so long, he certainly wasn't willing to go back like this.

Ji Lao thought for a moment and said, "The best way right now is to shut Yuan Munye up for good."

"Can you take care of him?" Ouyang Qingming glanced at Ji Lao, his eyes full of murderous intent.

Ji Lao smiled meaningfully, not saying anything, but from his eyes, one could sense a strong murderous intent.

Yuan Munye found it laughable when he learned about all of this.

He didn't stay too long either. He left the hotel directly and found a crowded place to collect negative emotions.

What he needed most now was negative emotion value.

Even a Xiantian realm expert had appeared, so it was estimated that it wouldn't be long before a fourth-grade Earth-level evil ghost appeared in Yun City.

With Yuan Munye's current strength, there was no way to deal with a fourth-grade Earth-level evil ghost.

So he had to improve his strength as soon as possible!

No matter how strong someone else was, they couldn't possibly stay by your side to protect you twenty-four hours a day, so the only way was to become stronger yourself.

Yuan Munye collected sixty to seventy thousand negative emotion value in one afternoon.

This was a huge sum for him!

After collecting the negative emotion value, Yuan Munye went straight home.

When he got home, Li Pangpang had already returned.

"Where's Jin Nuoyan?" Yuan Munye didn't see Jin Nuoyan, so he asked Li Pangpang.

Li Pangpang sighed and said, "She left. That woman really doesn't know how to be grateful. You were the one who saved her, so she should have at least said thank you, right? But she left without a word, and even said bad things about you before she left. I almost couldn't take it anymore and wanted to fight her."

Without asking, Yuan Munye knew what bad things Jin Nuoyan had said about him. It was probably about him raising evil ghosts.

But in his case, it couldn't be considered raising them, because he had never asked Yuan Xiaoyao and the others to do anything bad.

Yuan Munye looked at Li Pangpang, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Did she say anything else?"

"What else did she say? She even said that she was injured because of you!" Li Pangpang replied.

Hearing this, Yuan Munye immediately felt a little unhappy. What did she mean by because of him?

If he hadn't brought Jin Nuoyan back, she might have already died!

Now it was all his fault!

"Forget it!" Yuan Munye was too lazy to argue about it. After all, Jin Nuoyan was just a woman, and women were always in a bad mood for a few days a month.

Li Pangpang still wanted to say something, but he couldn't remember what he wanted to say for a moment. After watching Yuan Munye enter his room, he turned around and went to the kitchen.

Yuan Munye went to his room, took off his coat, drank some water to moisten his throat, sat on the bed, and entered the system.

He directly spent fifty thousand negative emotion value to upgrade the Frozen Palm!

That way, his Frozen Palm would reach the forty-sixth level!

After Yuan Munye started upgrading the Frozen Palm, a large amount of cold air instantly surged around him.

The cold air surged into the living room and kitchen. Li Pangpang, who was cooking, felt the chill and shivered involuntarily.

It wasn't the first time he had felt such an intense chill, so he knew without looking that Yuan Munye was practicing his skills.

Li Pangpang sighed helplessly and said, "Oh, when will I be able to break through as quickly as Lao Yuan?"
