Thinking of this, Master Mu really made up his mind: no matter who he is, this boy must not be kept!

Therefore... this means that this jade pendant must also be smashed!

And it has to be smashed into fine powder so that it can no longer harm people!

"He wouldn't be able to absorb vital energy and yang from an older child, that is, one around ten or older. So he could only choose a younger child in the mansion, or a newly born child of the Mu family, to continue providing for him. As for whether he's a human or something else... I don't know at this moment."

Jiang Fugui fiddled with the jade pendant in his hand and explained to the elders, "Young children, because their skull bones haven't fully grown yet, are more likely to absorb nourishment to survive and grow, so it can be called borrowing life. When I rescued Mu Qingzhou in Fengluo City, I noticed something was amiss. I originally thought it was just the evil spirit tainted by the item I was carrying, but I didn't expect it to be due to the absorption of nourishment."

Master Mu had heard about Mu Qingzhou being rescued in Fengluo City, so he believed Jiang Fugui's words even more.

However, he still couldn't figure it out, so he asked, "Then... why did he choose... me, my Zhou'er?"

"If nothing unexpected happens, they should be of similar age, with similar vital energy and yang energy. Mu Qingzhou was born before him and wore the Yin Jade, which then nourished and provided for the new owner of the Yang Jade. Moreover, from my observation, it seems that two people wearing the Yin-Yang Jade Pendant cannot be too far apart, nor can they be apart for too long."

After he finished speaking, a person flashed through Jiang Fugui's mind.

Could it be possible that it really is...

Master Mu said suddenly in a low voice, "This person should be Fourth Sister's Little Twelve, right?"

Jiang Fugui's eyes widened slightly. She didn't expect that Master Mu had also guessed who this person was, but because she was still a little uncertain, she didn't dare to answer casually.

Upon hearing this, both Old Madam Mu and Madam Mu Ning were surprised and stunned.

"Mother……"

Mr. Mu called out to Old Lady Mu in an unprecedentedly formal tone.

However, before he could finish his words, Old Lady Mu raised her hand to stop him.

"You don't have to say more." Old Lady Mu turned her gaze to Jiang Fugui and said without a smile, "Girl Fugui, Grandmother Mu wants to hear you say."

Jiang Fugui looked up at his grandmother, Old Lady Jiang, and saw her nod.

After a moment's thought, she said, "It's actually not difficult to prove who it is. After the jade pendant is smashed, within an incense stick's time, if anyone from that courtyard comes to this courtyard to look for Grandma Mu, then it's definitely him. But, once this commotion gets out, how can we suppress the news from leaking out of the mansion? Does the other young master need to be rescued? Please let Grandma Mu and Uncle Mu know clearly so that I can proceed to the next step."

At this time, Old Lady Mu and Master Mu were in the main house, so it was naturally not Mu Ning's turn to make the final decision.

Therefore, after the jade pendant was smashed, what Jiang Fugui just mentioned was the most important thing.

Otherwise, any disturbance in the mansion would spread to every corner in a short time. How would the situation end then?

In any case, they are both the younger masters of the Mu Mansion. If something really happens to one of them today, who knows how the servants in the mansion will talk about and frame them.

Especially, such strange and bizarre things happened.
