Every Qingming Festival, I burn paper effigies of a boy and a girl for you.

Xu Mu looked at Jiang Huihui's serious expression and said lightly, "What? Don't believe me?"

Jiang Huihui pointed at the chat history on the phone. "The evidence is right here, and you still want to deny it?"

"Click on 'Me' and check the personal information."

Xu Mu crossed his arms and glanced at Jiang Huihui.

Jiang Huihui immediately clicked on the info and found the account wasn't bound to Xu Mu, but to a man named Lin Yang.

"This... isn't your account?"

"What? Am I called Lin Yang?"

Xu Mu asked with a calm expression.

"Brother, I was wrong. I shouldn't have accused you wrongly. I'll kneel for you."

Jiang Huihui immediately returned the phone to Xu Mu and hugged his arm, shaking it.

"Let go of me. If you don't believe me, then why would I even participate in the martial arts contest for marriage? Who you marry is none of my damn business!"

Xu Mu pulled his arm out of Jiang Huihui's grasp.

"I was wrong. It's crowded here. Let's go to the car. I'll kneel for you in the car."

Jiang Huihui opened the car door, proactively sat in the back seat, and then knelt on the seat.

"I'll forgive you for now."

Xu Mu now sat in the driver's seat. "I snatched this from someone else."

"But you can only use this software for half a year then."

Jiang Huihui got down from the kneeling position and sat on the back seat. "From what I know, this software requires facial recognition every six months."

Xu Mu hadn't known this before; he didn't expect the people behind Hundred Ghosts Night Parade to be quite clever.

He was just about to speak when a message came through on his phone. It was the address sent by Black Robe.

"He wants to meet on the highway west of Yang City, outside the city limits."

Xu Mu said, looking at his phone. "The woods are right next to the road. He's prepared an escape route."

"Don't worry. With me here, I absolutely won't let him get away."

Jiang Huihui wore an expression of complete confidence.

"Are you sure? A top-six expert on the Death List. Do you think you can handle him? That female assassin who tried to kill me before, didn't you let her escape?"

Xu Mu suddenly remembered Yun Wu from before. Jiang Huihui had even fought her, and Yun Wu left easily in the end.

"I can! I wasn't at the Divine Ability realm back then. Now I am."

Jiang Huihui said to Xu Mu, "Just rest assured."

Xu Mu smiled and nodded. If Jiang Huihui couldn't handle it, he definitely had his own ways to deal with Black Robe.

Among the Death List experts, the plot had detailed introductions for the top three.

The strength of the top three was a cliff-like drop compared to the other experts.

It was important to know that the third-ranked expert was already at the Grandmaster level.

Because the top three were only nominally assassins.

To be precise, they were actually the controllers of Hundred Ghosts Night Parade.

As for the assassins ranked after them, they weren't worth mentioning.

Xu Mu had Jiang Huihui lie down in the back seat. He planned to go check the situation alone first and have Jiang Huihui make her move when the time was right.

Passing by a supermarket, Xu Mu bought a document folder. He still needed to put on a bit of an act.

...

He smoothly arrived at the location Black Robe had mentioned. Xu Mu called Jiang Huihui's phone.

After putting it on speakerphone, he put the phone in his pocket, making it convenient for Jiang Huihui here to hear their conversation.

Xu Mu got out of the car with the document folder. According to Black Robe, there was a cave straight ahead below the highway.

He jumped down from the highway and immediately saw the cave in the distance.

Black Robe had said to wait for him inside the cave. However, through his perception, Xu Mu found that Black Robe wasn't there.

Instead, he was hiding on the hillside behind the cave, holding a phone in his hand showing surveillance footage.

It displayed Xu Mu's figure. Clearly, he had installed pinhole cameras around.

A smile appeared on Xu Mu's lips. This perception ability truly deserved to be called god-tier.

Even though he knew where Black Robe was, Xu Mu still pretended to be completely unaware and walked into the cave.

As soon as he entered the cave, through his perception, he sensed Black Robe moving.

He now stood up from the hillside, scanned the surroundings, and only after confirming no one else was there did he walk towards the cave.

"Hello there."

Black Robe, clad in a black robe, arrived at the cave entrance with his hands clasped behind his back.

Xu Mu turned around and briefly scanned him with his Divine Eye.

Name: Fu Daqiang

Identity: Assassin, Undercover agent for the Eternal Life Research Institute, Undercover agent for the Heavenly Sword Sect

Favorability: -1

Fate Level: 2 (Max Level 10)

Seeing this information, Xu Mu was somewhat surprised. This person's details had a bit too many elements.

First, assassin—that was a given, being a Death List expert.

Then, undercover agent for both the Eternal Life Research Institute and the Heavenly Sword Sect. It left Xu Mu confused about which side he was really on.

"You are Black Robe?"

Xu Mu looked at him and asked.

"Correct. Are you from the Chai family?" Fu Daqiang walked in calmly.

"Yes. This is the contract I brought. Sign it immediately, then go kill Fang Chu and Dai Dongyang."

Xu Mu shook the document folder in his hand.

"I don't sign things like this. A company is useless to me." Fu Daqiang shook his head with a smile.

"Then why did you ask me to come?"

"I asked you to come so you could use your entire Chai family conglomerate as collateral, take out a loan of fifty billion, and give it to me."

Fu Daqiang gave a light laugh. "Otherwise, I'll send you to meet your maker!"

"What?"

Xu Mu feigned surprise, but inside he was very calm. This Black Robe was exactly that kind of person.

"Was I not clear enough?" Black Robe asked coldly.

"I'm the employer. Are you going to violate the rules? Aren't you afraid of punishment from the Hundred Ghosts Night Parade authorities?"

Xu Mu asked indifferently.

"If you die, with no one to report it, the authorities won't notice."

A dagger appeared from under Fu Daqiang's black robe. "Take out your phone. Call the Chai family now."

"But you're mistaken. I'm just a messenger, a middleman."

Xu Mu shrugged. "The Hundred Ghosts Night Parade account isn't with me."

"So that's how it is. No wonder the voice on the call didn't sound quite right. The Chai family has some brains after all."

Fu Daqiang said flatly. "In that case, you can rest here permanently."

"I think it's you who will rest permanently!"

Right at that moment, Jiang Huihui had already rushed over from the distance, charging at Fu Daqiang.

Seeing this, Fu Daqiang immediately drew his dagger to meet the attack.

Boom!

The Qi from both sides erupted violently, instantly shattering the narrow cave entrance.

Xu Mu immediately jumped out from the collapsing earth and rocks, leaning against a nearby tree.

He wanted to see if Jiang Huihui could take down this Fu Daqiang.

If she couldn't handle it, he would have to step in himself.

Swish!

Fu Daqiang gripped his dagger tightly and slashed forcefully towards Jiang Huihui. A green sword energy shot towards her.

"Pathetic trick!"

Jiang Huihui didn't dodge or evade. She threw a punch directly at the sword energy.

Crack!

A sharp sound exploded in the air, and the sword energy shattered on the spot.

Seeing this, Fu Daqiang guessed this woman was no ordinary opponent; her strength might even be above his own.

He originally wanted to escape, but then he spotted Xu Mu watching from a distance.

He lunged forward, rushing towards Xu Mu, and pointed the dagger at his neck.

"Little beauty, don't come any closer, or I'll kill him!"

Fu Daqiang chuckled darkly.

"Huihui, save me."

Xu Mu called out symbolically.

"Don't worry! After you die, every Qingming Festival, I'll burn paper effigies of boy and girl servants, sports cars, and supermarkets for you."

Without another word, Jiang Huihui charged straight over.
