Why did you provoke me?

Jingyi and Liu Wei had the same results from their tests, and Niannian asked Yu Meng to take a look at her as well.

Yu Meng didn't say anything, but simply pulled the person to her side and checked her over. Yu Meng was stunned; the symbol was also present in Nian Nian's mind.

"How is it? How is it? Is it in my head?" Niannian asked, holding her hand.

Yu Meng nodded. "Yes."

"Huh?" Everyone in the room fell silent.

"And you, Fourth Sister, can you see yourself?"

Yu Meng shook her head, "I haven't noticed that I have this mark."

"Perhaps it's not that it doesn't exist, but it's possible that you can't examine yourself," Nangong Tianshou guessed.

Secretary Wu's fists were hard. Can you shut up? Is your mouth blessed today?

Although her thoughts were interrupted, Yu Meng seemed to have found a solution to this kind of thing.

"Go back, everyone. I'll think of something. After you go back, gather all the people who went into the dense forest that time together. Don't go out during this period."

Jingyi and Liu Wei agreed and went out.

Nangong Tianshou also stood up. "I'm going back too. If I remember anything, I'll come find you again."

Only Niannian and Secretary Wu remained in the room.

"Fourth Sister, what shape is my mark? I can't feel it."

"Yours is much smaller and paler than theirs, which may be related to the time you spent inside."

"I wonder if this mark can be removed on its own?" Secretary Wu looked at Niannian and then turned to look at Yu Meng.

"Probably not. I just want to know how that long-haired man would find him?"

Secretary Wu panicked. "Teacher Yu, we can't take any risks. If we want to know the answer to this question, we can always have Jing San and the others bring the person back for questioning. Please don't use yourself as bait; that's too dangerous."

Niannian nodded in agreement, "That's right, that's too dangerous. If you need someone to be the bait, I can do it too."

"You can't do it either." Secretary Wu stood up and almost slammed his hand on the table.

Yu Meng looked calmly at Secretary Wu, "Uncle Wu, I was just saying that, I didn't really mean to do it."

"Really? You're not kidding me?"

"I know what's important. There are so many people involved; I won't joke around with their lives."

"Do you have a solution? I was worried that the Jia family might leak this, so I gave them a few warnings." Secretary Wu scratched his head sheepishly.

Niannian asked curiously, "Uncle Wu, what did you say?"

"Just say that we have absolutely no problems on our side, even if the Bone Painter uses tricks, there will be no problem."

"What did that old man say?"

He said, "Has Teacher Yu become that good?"

"And then?"

Secretary Wu straightened his back. "I said, didn't you already know about Teacher Yu's strength?"

Niannian was stunned for a moment, then slapped the table and burst into laughter.

Yu Meng listened to their conversation and couldn't help but smile. "I'll try my best to be the terrifyingly strong Teacher Yu you described."

Secretary Wu nodded repeatedly, saying that was exactly how it should be.

"Fourth Sister, I'm leaving now. I'll go check on them in the backyard, and if they're willing, I'll give it another try."

Yu Meng saw Secretary Wu sitting there steadily and knew he still had something to say.

"Uncle Wu, what else is there?"

"This was a decision I made on my own, and I'm not sure if it's the right one. I'm a little unsure."

Yu Meng got up and drew back the curtains; the sunlight outside was just right.

"You know the Hou family, right? They were also affected by the changes on the First Battlefield. Their second master colluded with the Wang family to poison the old patriarch and hunt down that young master."

Secretary Wu observed Yu Meng's expression and spoke slowly. Yu Meng listened quietly without making any comment.

He had no choice but to continue, "That young master came here two days ago, and I took him in."

He paused here. He awaited Yu Meng's decision.

"Let him stay then. This is a big decision, Uncle Wu must have thought it through a lot. I have no objections."

"You're not angry that I took on such a troublesome task?"

"In other words, his second uncle won't let him off the hook, and the Wang family might not get involved. The solution is quite simple: his grandfather isn't dead, is he? If we save him, all this trouble will be resolved."

Secretary Wu's mouth was half open; how could Yu Meng make such a big deal out of it so simply?

Seeing Secretary Wu's surprised expression, Yu Meng explained again, "This is just an internal conflict. The fact that the old man didn't die proves that his second son still cares about their father-son relationship. The old man was caught off guard by the intervention of external forces and fell into the trap. Now that he has woken up, everything will return to normal."

"Should we make a move?" Secretary Wu asked softly.

Yu Meng looked at Secretary Wu with suspicion, "Why should we meddle in other people's business?"

Secretary Wu paused for a moment, then said, "Then I'll let him stay here. There's still quite a bit of money that Butler Han left here last time."

Yu Meng nodded. "A carefully cultivated successor won't stay here forever."

Having resolved this major concern, Secretary Wu stood up. "I'll go make the arrangements and then I'll be leaving now."

Yu Meng was left alone in the room, and she carefully pondered Nangong Tianshou's words again: "Magic defeats magic."

Touching the thin ring on my finger, this was the only thing related to that mark.

But this is a physical object; it's impossible to put it into your brain, nor can you put it inside.

Yu Meng touched the ring for a long time without moving, while the Overlord on her shoulder quietly wrapped its tentacles around the thin ring.

Yu Meng saw it, but didn't slap it away; she just watched it quietly.

Seeing that Yu Meng was letting herself go, the tentative Overlord stretched out its tentacles a little further.

Yu Meng sensed that the energy within the thin ring was being slowly absorbed by the Overlord.

A thought suddenly occurred to me: if I used this energy as a bridge to fill that mark and then absorb it, would the energy within the mark also be absorbed out?

Yes, Yu Meng believes that the mark is a manifestation of energy, but its existence is special and its energy trajectory is not common, so Ba Wang's usual approach did not work.

Once she had the idea, she was ready to give it a try. She wasn't one to procrastinate, so she sent a message to Liu Wei directly.

If you ask why we don't call Niannian back.

Because this was still just an idea, something uncertain, she wouldn't let Niannian try it.

As for Liu Wei, she didn't hide anything and made it clear that he could come if he wanted, otherwise she would find someone else. As for Liu Wei's thoughts, oh, sorry, she didn't want to know.

In the backyard, after Jingyi and Liu Wei returned, they called all those who had entered the dense forest into a room and recounted what had happened. Everyone fell silent. If even Teacher Yu couldn't do anything, were they simply left to await someone else's judgment?

Liu Wei's communication bell vibrated, and everyone heard it. All eyes were fixed on his communication bell.

As soon as Yu Meng's news came out, Si Jiu stood up and said, "If Fourth Brother doesn't want to, I'll go."

Liu Wei slapped him, saying, "You heard me say I'm not going."

Si Jiu stood up and walked towards the door. "I'll go too. What if we need two people?"

Everyone stood up, and judging from their posture, they all intended to go.
