Chapter 79: Exercise Some Restraint

~8 min read 1,598 words

……

Ten minutes later, Lv Cheng walked out, fully dressed.

"A-Cheng, they are..."

Mu Zhuoyun pointed with panic at the two spherical life forms pinned to the ground by the Shadow Soldiers.

These were people from the Zhou Family!

Although the Zhou Family didn't count for much in the Imperial Capital, that was only in comparison to the Mu Clan; to his Mu Family, the Zhou Family was already a behemoth!

Even if Lv Cheng had beaten these two up, at worst he would just lose the Mu Family and not be able to hang around the Imperial Capital anymore, but to turn people into this—he couldn't settle the matter even if he sold the Mu Family!

"Don't be nervous." Lv Cheng waved his hand, and the Shadow Soldiers gestured for Mu Zhuoyun to sit down, thoughtfully pouring him a cup of hot tea.

"A-Cheng, why don't you take Ningxue and run?" Mu Zhuoyun said.

"You take her and run to the Magic City, this matter, I..."

"Stop, stop, stop!" Lv Cheng looked helpless.

"Rest assured, it's a small matter, it's not that serious."

As he spoke, Lv Cheng dialed a phone number.

"Is this the Imperial Capital Judgment Court? I am Honorary Judge Lv Cheng."

"What is it?"

"Do you know that the Black Vatican has appeared in the Imperial Capital?"

"It's right under your noses and you don't even know?!"

"Where is the Black Vatican?"

"The Zhou Family!"

"Evidence? I saw a Curse Beast with my own eyes, isn't that enough?"

"The father and son of the Zhou Family have already been captured by me."

"Investigate immediately!"

Lv Cheng put down the phone, "It's resolved."

"Ah?" Mu Zhuoyun looked bewildered.

"Black Vatican? Zhou Family? They..."

"A-Cheng, you can't just say things about the Black Vatican randomly, you..."

"Rest assured, there is evidence." Lv Cheng took a sip of tea, stood up, and led the Shadow Soldiers outside.

"I will handle this matter, no one will come looking for you."

"By the way, I will also help you arrange the Mu Family's business. Set your mind at ease; since you're here, just stay comfortably."

"……"

"Dad?"

After a long while, Mu Ningxue finally walked out of the room.

"Ah?" Mu Zhuoyun snapped back to reality.

"Ningxue, A-Cheng, he..."

Imperial Capital Judgment Court, Honorary Judge?

Is this for real?

"I'm not too sure." Mu Ningxue shook her head.

"I didn't ask much, he just told me that he is now an Honorary Judge of the Imperial Capital Judgment Court, and also an Honorary Councilor of the Magic Palace."

"This..." Mu Zhuoyun was completely stunned.

Honorary Councilor of the Magic Palace?

How much influence does that take?

Even the Mu Clan doesn't have that kind of face!

Taking a deep breath to calm down, Mu Zhuoyun didn't want to think about it anymore; in any case, the relationship between Lv Cheng and Mu Ningxue was basically confirmed now, so there was no use in him worrying so much.

"Ningxue, that, I know you young people are full of vitality and can't hold back, but..." Mu Zhuoyun hesitated to speak further.

"You can't be too indulgent either, you... you have to show some restraint."

Three days without getting out of bed!

Even for a Magician, can you really play like that?

"I..." Mu Ningxue's face turned red.

Restraint? Was this something she could restrain?

She didn't want to either! But that bastard simply wouldn't stop!

She was almost becoming a fool!

……

"You are Lv Cheng?"

Imperial Capital Judgment Court.

Lv Cheng brought the Zhou father and son, who were no longer in human shape, over, and the Judgment Court that went to investigate the Zhou Family had already obtained relevant evidence.

Zhou Qin, that is, the Mr. Zhou, was a Blue Deacon under the Black Vatican's Salang, and his son, Zhou Youhong, was a Black Deacon who had joined the Black Vatican not long ago.

"What's the matter?" Lv Cheng raised his head and looked at the middle-aged man in front of him who looked quite rigid.

Feng Li narrowed his eyes slightly, the Psychic star sea energy surging secretly, and terrifying Spiritual Power pressed toward Lv Cheng.

He wasn't there when the Magic Palace held its meeting before, but he heard that this kid caused quite a stir at the time, threatening the Magic Palace, extorting a large sum of money from the people on the list, and even getting himself the status of Honorary Judge.

He wanted to see if what Pang Lai said was true or not, this kid...

"Hmm?" Feng Li was taken aback.

Why was there no reaction?

"Your Spiritual Power..."

"Just reached the Sixth Realm," Lv Cheng said.

"..."

"Sixth Realm?" The corners of Feng Li's eyes twitched slightly.

No, young man, you grew up eating Mind Stones, didn't you?

"What's wrong?" Lv Cheng asked.

"Ahem! Not bad." Feng Li's attitude improved quite a bit.

One must know that even the currently designated Captain of the National Team, Ai Jiangtu, only has Spiritual Power at the Fourth Realm, and Ai Jiangtu is several years older than this kid.

"The situation with the Zhou Family has been investigated clearly; the situation you described is indeed true. They are willing to cooperate with the investigation into the Black Vatican, but regarding the matter of Zhou Qin and his son, the Zhou Family hopes to resolve it privately to avoid alerting the enemy." Feng Li sat down.

"How much are they prepared to pay to cover this up?" Lv Cheng asked.

The corners of Feng Li's eyes twitched. "Don't speak so directly."

Although the evidence obtained by the Judgment Court this time only involves Zhou Qin and his son, since it involves the Black Vatican, it is no exaggeration to describe it as implicating the entire clan!

Once such a scandal about the Zhou Family is exposed, they would be devoured by these aristocratic families of the Imperial Capital in minutes!

The Judgment Court does not care about what happens to a small Zhou Family, but the matter of the Black Vatican truly cannot be allowed to alert the enemy.

Magic City.

After extorting half of the Zhou Family's assets and resolving the urgent needs of the Mu Family, Lv Cheng did not linger and returned to the Magic City.

Ever since he achieved financial freedom, Lv Cheng bought a standard villa near the Pearl Institute and moved in with Ye Xinxia.

And last year, when the second semester arrived at Qing Xiaoqu, when Mu Nujiao and Ai Tutu were renting a place outside, in order to save money, Ye Xinxia mentioned it casually, Ai Tutu strongly supported it, Mu Nujiao couldn't bear to refuse, and Ding Yumian, for the convenience of teaching the Mind Element, then... everyone ended up living together.

Opening the door and returning home, the first thing that came into view was a pair of big rabbits.

"..."

Ai Tutu, who had just finished showering, saw Lv Cheng walk in and couldn't help but widen her eyes, standing there blankly for several seconds.

"A-Cheng?"

"What's wrong?" Lv Cheng changed his shoes, walked over, and patted Ai Tutu's head.

"A-Cheng!!" Ai Tutu's eyes turned red, and she hugged Lv Cheng, bursting into loud tears.

"I thought you died out there!"

The corners of Lv Cheng's eyes twitched. "Didn't I talk to you on the phone a few months ago?"

A few days after Jingyun sent Mu Nujiao and the others out, he had called Ye Xinxia and the others one by one, saying he wouldn't be able to return for a while and telling them not to worry.

"But I... I called later... and, and it wouldn't go through!" Ai Tutu said with red eyes.

"The signal at Dongting Lake is bad; I didn't receive them." Lv Cheng held Ai Tutu, who was hanging in front of him, and sat down on the sofa.

Dongting Lake has now been transformed by him, entangled with Black Qi and Demon Qi, and Ximu has also modified the clouds in the sky over that area, with red clouds shrouding it. Now, Daolong, Xiao Long, Tarak, and Shendu are all there, conducting demon experiments.

Due to the interference of Dark Energy, no wireless communication can be conducted in that area; he had to run outside of Dongting Lake to make calls.

After the experiments started, there was simply no time to come out.

"Are you hurt?" Ai Tutu asked worriedly.

"No." Lv Cheng looked helpless.

Ai Tutu is just a big kid; if you say she's stupid, she's very smart about many things, and if you say she's smart, she's often a beat slow.

"Tutu, what's wrong?"

Hearing the shouting, Mu Nujiao walked down from upstairs.

"You..."

"What are you two doing?"

Looking at Ai Tutu, whose bathrobe was half-undone and who was sitting on Lv Cheng's lap, Mu Nujiao's brain crashed for a moment.

No, little sister!

Didn't you come to help me?

How did you get on first?

"What's wrong?" Ai Tutu turned her head in confusion.

"You should be careful even at home." Lv Cheng very gentlemanly reached out his hand to help Ai Tutu pull up her scattered bathrobe and cover herself.

"I..."

Ai Tutu, who finally reacted, froze; her face turned bright red at a speed visible to the naked eye, and steam seemed to rise from the top of her head.

Overloaded.

"I didn't mean to!" Ai Tutu jumped up abruptly and turned to run upstairs.

She came to help!

How could she have gotten on first!
