Mu Qingcheng searched back and forth in the garden and then walked around the hot springs, but she still couldn't find Bai Ze. Just as she was about to look for him in the outer courtyard, she heard a familiar voice calling out.

"Bai Ze is over there."

She took Zijin and followed the sound, and unexpectedly arrived at Yunqing's door.

Mu Qingcheng lay on the door and listened carefully. She had clearly heard Bai Ze's cry just now, but why couldn't she hear it now?

A graceful figure appeared on the partition door. Yun Qing was standing behind the door. He held Bai Ze in one hand and pinched the fox's mouth with the other hand to prevent it from barking.

He just stared at the person outside the door with a silly smile on his face.

Mo Yu and Meng Yun, one looked down at his shoes, and the other looked up at the ceiling.

Mu Qingcheng listened for a long time but could not hear any sound. She had no choice but to give up. She did not dare to shout at Yun Qing's door. Feng Zhishang had sternly warned her that she was Yun Qing's number one killer and could kill Yun Qing with just one word.

Haha! Although she didn't quite believe what the uncle said, she didn't dare to joke with Yun Qing's life.

Bai Ze is so young, it’s impossible for him to run too far. Maybe he is really in Yun Qing’s house. I’d better wait until I meet Mo Yu and ask him!

Humph! She was going to the front yard to settle the score with Thirty-Six.

Mu Qingcheng led Zijin hurriedly to the front yard. Yun Qing didn't let go of Bai Ze until they could no longer see anyone. Bai Ze was angry. He was also a baby with a bad temper.

It bared its teeth and fur at Yun Qing, kicking its legs. Yun Qing grabbed its neck, lifted it above his head, and warned it coldly. He threatened it with a gesture of wanting to hit it. Bai Ze was a divine beast, and at such a young age, he understood the meaning of "a wise man is a wise man." It could become a dog, and immediately fell silent!

Humph! You're smart!

Yun Qing put Bai Ze on the ground, and Bai Ze quickly hid under the table.

Mu Qingcheng came to the main hall in the front yard with great momentum. What a coincidence! Everyone was there! In addition to Feng Zhishang, even the three Taoist priests from Xuantian Palace were there.

After bathing and changing clothes last night, the three Taoist priests were much more energetic today than yesterday. As soon as they saw Mu Qingcheng, the three Taoist priests greeted her warmly, especially Su Jiyu.

"Miss Mu, you are finally here. Did you have a good rest last night?"

Ugh! How did he ask this question? Mu Qingcheng felt a chill in her heart.

With a loud snap, Thirty-Six slammed his palm down on the table, and it cracked instantly.

Thirty-Six roared again: "Don't force me to do it."

Su Jiyu snorted coldly, turned around and sat back in the chair.

This is the saying that one thing conquers another! Mu Qingcheng really admires him. Just for this suppressive power, Thirty-Six can stay.

But she also felt bad for her furniture. This table is made of rosewood! Oh my god! This wasted thirty-six.

Everyone in the room crossed their arms and glared at Thirty-Six. Even Mu Yao pouted angrily and glared at Thirty-Six fiercely.

Mu Qingcheng first asked Mu Yao: "Mu Yao, what's going on?"

Mu Yao huffed and puffed angrily, "She, she hit people. And, everyone was hit by her."

"Tsk!" Thirty-Six rolled his eyes at Mu Yao with disdain.

Mu Yao was so angry that she was about to cry. Mu Qingcheng went over and patted her head comfortingly. Turning to ask Thirty-Six, "Then tell me, why do you hit people so casually?"

Although Sanshiliu was a reckless person, she still restrained herself somewhat in front of Mu Qingcheng.

"They stopped me last night and wouldn't let me go to your room to protect you, so I took action."

Thirty-Six spoke confidently. Mu Qingcheng glanced around. Wow! They were all so miserable! That unrecognizable kid must be Mo Xiaoliu! Even Mo Xue was beaten, with a swollen left cheek. No wonder Mu Yao was so angry.

"In that case, what Thirty-Six said makes sense."

Mu Qingcheng sat down nonchalantly. Everyone was dissatisfied, thinking they deserved to be beaten.

Thirty-Six was even more proud, his tail was raised high in the sky: "You are unworthy of being secret guards. The enemy is too soft on you if you are not killed. The master does not need useless people like you!"

All the Dragon Shadow Guards gnashed their teeth and secretly vowed to go back and practice martial arts to kill her before they died.

Mu Qingcheng changed the subject and asked Thirty-Six, "Thirty-Six, did I tell you to stay?"

"Ah?" Thirty-Six thought carefully, and it seemed that there was no answer. "What else is there to say? This is a fight to the bitter end. Whoever can defeat me will be punished by returning to the Shadow Pavilion!"

"Oh! Really?" Mu Qingcheng said with a smile: "I heard that if you are sent back, your martial arts will be abolished. Is that true?"

Thirty-Six's eyelids trembled slightly, and she quickly looked around at everyone in the room with contempt. What was she afraid of? Although her martial arts skills were not the best in the world, she had never met an opponent.

"Even if you all come together, what can you do to me? I'm not afraid."

Mu Qingcheng asked again: "You have to think carefully. If you really lose, all your martial arts training will be in vain. After your martial arts are crippled, you can only be an ordinary maid, being bullied for the rest of your life, and you can't even fight back."

Sanshiliu shuddered all over. How could it be possible? She would not lose. If she really lost, the worst that could happen was death. She didn't want to be a useless person.

Mu Qingcheng also saw that this Thirty-Six was a martial arts fanatic, with great skills but a simple mind. Fortunately, he was sent to them. If it fell into the hands of the enemy, it would be a deadly sword.

"Have you really thought it through? Do you want to compare?"

"Compare, why not?"

"Okay!" Mu Qingcheng was waiting for her to say this: "Let's sign a written agreement first. As the saying goes, words are not enough. If you refuse to pay, none of us can do anything to you."

Thirty-Six said anxiously, "Let me stand. I'm not that kind of person anyway. I'm just afraid that you won't accept it."

"Alright! Then please ask the three Taoist priests from Xuantian Palace to be witnesses, and please ask Second Senior Brother to write a receipt.

"Thirty-Six has volunteered to compete with us. If she wins, we will let her stay as a secret guard and we will not restrict her. If she loses, she will not have to return to the Shadow Pavilion to be punished and have her martial arts skills abolished. She will stay here and be an ordinary maid for me. From now on, she is not allowed to use martial arts again."

Li Nanxuan nodded and said "OK". He picked up his pen and wrote two documents, showing them to Mu Qingcheng and Sanshiliu. Both of them had no objection and signed and sealed the documents. The documents were temporarily kept by Li Nanxuan.

Su Jiyu saw that it was his time to show off, so he stepped forward to fight. He had wanted to fight Sanshiliu for a long time, but was concerned about his reputation because he never hit a woman.

Mu Qingcheng didn't even glance at him, and said to everyone, "To be fair, to prevent others from saying we are outnumbered and bullying the minority, let's play a best-of-three game. We will have one person in each game, and you can find two helpers for Thirty-Six. You can choose anyone here."
