While Liang Sencheng felt puzzled, he didn't ask too much. However, seeing Yuan Mu'ye like this for the first time, he found it quite amusing.

As soon as they entered the hotel, a man in a black suit approached them.

The suited man looked at Liang Sencheng and Yuan Mu'ye with an icy expression and asked, "Are you Mr. Liang Sencheng?"

Liang Sencheng nodded.

"My master has sent me to pick you up. Follow me!"

With that, the suited man headed towards the elevators.

Yuan Mu'ye glanced at Liang Sencheng, signaling him to follow.

The two followed the suited man into the elevator. The three stood close together, and no one spoke, making the atmosphere somewhat cold.

After a moment, the elevator stopped on the third floor.

The three exited the elevator one after another, and the suited man led them into a VIP room.

In the room, besides Shangguan Hao, there was also Ouyang Qingming, and a woman they had never seen before.

The woman wore a red cloak, and the hood covered her eyes, so only half of her face was visible.

Yuan Mu'ye glanced at the woman; the woman's bright red lips were particularly striking.

When Shangguan Hao saw Liang Sencheng, a smile immediately appeared on his face, and he said in a gentle tone, "Sencheng, you've finally arrived."

Liang Sencheng looked at Shangguan Hao coldly. After sitting down, he said, "Just tell me directly what you want me here for!"

"Don't be impatient. Shouldn't old friends have a lot to talk about when they reunite?" Shangguan Hao said with a smile.

Then, he asked the suited man to call the waiter to bring up the dishes.

Liang Sencheng didn't want to waste words with Shangguan Hao at all and said with a cold snort, "If it were before, I might have something to say to you, but now, forget it!"

In fact, even if Shangguan Hao didn't say it, Liang Sencheng knew what he wanted to say.

For a moment, the atmosphere became a little awkward.

Shangguan Hao smiled, looked at Yuan Mu'ye next to Liang Sencheng, and said, "Is this your girlfriend? She's quite pretty, introduce her!"

Liang Sencheng was stunned, not expecting Yuan Mu'ye to be mistaken for his girlfriend.

But thinking about it, it's hard not to think they have a relationship with Yuan Mu'ye in this image.

It didn't matter; he wasn't here to clear up his relationship with Yuan Mu'ye anyway.

It was fine if they thought Yuan Mu'ye was his girlfriend; that way, they wouldn't suspect Yuan Mu'ye's identity.

"You must be Young Master Shangguan. Sencheng has mentioned you to me. I'm called Little Butterfly, and I haven't been dating Little Cheng for long."

Yuan Mu'ye spoke before Liang Sencheng could respond to Shangguan Hao.

Shangguan Hao looked at Yuan Mu'ye with a smile, his eyes a little strange. After a moment, he said, "Little Butterfly, that's an interesting name. Are you a local of Yun City?"

"No." Yuan Mu'ye kept speaking in a falsetto, which made his voice a little hoarse.

After chatting for a few more sentences, Liang Sencheng couldn't help but interrupt them, "Alright, Shangguan Hao, what exactly do you want to say?"

"Sencheng, we've known each other for so many years, can't you really guess why I asked you to come here?"

Shangguan Hao pouted and looked at Liang Sencheng.

"If it's still about the last matter, I advise you to give up on that idea as soon as possible! I will not agree," Liang Sencheng said with a very resolute attitude.

Shangguan Hao had approached Liang Sencheng more than once for this matter, even offering various tempting conditions, all in order to win him over.

But no matter what conditions Shangguan Hao offered, Liang Sencheng had never wavered because Liang Sencheng had principles and would never do anything against his conscience.

"Alright, since you're not willing, then I don't want to force you anymore. Actually, I have other matters I want to discuss with you today," Shangguan Hao finally got to the main topic.

Liang Sencheng was also a little surprised; he didn't expect Shangguan Hao to have other matters.

But besides trying to win him over, what else could he want to discuss with him?

"What is it?" Liang Sencheng looked at Shangguan Hao with a curious expression.

Shangguan Hao didn't answer his question directly but turned to look at Ouyang Qingming. Although he didn't say a word, the other party already understood what he meant.

Ouyang Qingming glanced at Liang Sencheng and said bluntly, "Young Master Liang, Haozi often tells me that you and he are good brothers, so he has approached you several times, wanting you to work with him to take down Yun City. Once Yun City is taken down, the power of both your families can be elevated to the next level. What's not to like?"

What's not to like indeed!

Yuan Mu'ye's gaze towards Ouyang Qingming immediately changed.

Sure enough, birds of a feather flock together, so they came together and even colluded with evil ghosts.

"That's just your idea. I've never said that I wanted to expand the Liang family's power," Liang Sencheng coldly retorted.

Although expanding the Liang family's sphere of influence would indeed be a good thing for the Liang family, the greater the power, the more trouble there would be.

After all, a tall tree attracts the wind, especially in this world. Being low-key is always a good thing.

"Aren't you afraid that after the Shangguan family's power increases day by day, they will swallow up your Liang family?" Ouyang Qingming looked at Liang Sencheng with a half-smile, his tone carrying a hint of threat.

Liang Sencheng's heart tightened. He should have thought of it sooner. People like them can use any means to achieve their goals.

A threat was nothing at all!

"If the Shangguan family really has that ability, then I have nothing to say. In short, I only have one sentence: wanting me to join you in your dirty deeds is impossible." Liang Sencheng was unmoved by both soft and hard tactics.

Shangguan Hao originally didn't have much patience with him, so seeing his attitude so firm, he felt even more unhappy. If Liang Sencheng hadn't stopped him, he probably would have already revealed his true nature.

"Young Master Liang, actually, I'm quite puzzled. In this world, who doesn't want to live a better life? What if I promise you that the Liang family will have a place in the First Capital City in the future?" Ouyang Qingming threw out an olive branch again.

First Capital City!

Liang Sencheng was also dumbfounded. Although the Third Capital City and the First Capital City differed by only one word, the gap between the two cities was not small at all.

If Yun City was considered prosperous, then the prosperity of the First Capital City was even better than Yun City and the Third Capital City combined.

The First Capital City was considered the central area of these capital cities.

There was no need to think about how good the central area was.

Besides being prosperous, there were also many experts.

"Are you from the First Capital City?" Liang Sencheng looked at Ouyang Qingming with some surprise.

Ouyang Qingming didn't hide it and directly admitted it.

"That's right. I came to Yun City this time to take it down. To be honest, Yun City has already been surrounded by evil ghosts. I can guarantee that Yun City will fall within a week. If you regret it now, it's not too late."
