"So, our Mu Residence will mobilize all the guards, along with the guarding forces of other allied families, to ensure Yun'er's safety around the National Day."

The Family Head of the Mu Residence finished speaking, looking at Xiao Yifei, "Dear nephew, what do you think?"

Xiao Yifei smiled slightly, "I have one thing to say, but I'm not sure if I should."

"Ah, don't hesitate to speak."

"If the Mu Residence trusts me, I can lead some of those who used the Eye-closing Silver Tail Needle yesterday, and do my best to act as a shield around Muyun."

Even as Xiao Yifei said this, he was somewhat apprehensive. After all, to the Mu Residence, he was just an outsider, and this matter was related to the fate of the Mu Residence and many allied families, weighing heavier than Mount Tai. Even if the old master of the Mu Residence and Muyun trusted him, there would inevitably be some gossip that could affect the unity within the Mu Residence.

The master of the Mu Residence understood immediately, beaming with joy. "Dear nephew, what are you saying? If you can do your utmost to protect Yun'er safely, our Mu Residence couldn't ask for more. Why would there be any mistrust?"

"I will definitely live up to expectations."

The National Day ceremony arrived as scheduled, outside a gathering venue in the capital of Huaxia, it was crowded. Many political aristocratic families' forces were gathered here today, including their own family alliances, striving for power in the conference.

Among the crowd, there were inevitably many guards from various families, experts secretly protecting their family's heirs from enemies' deadly hands. Among them were some middle-aged men whom Xiao Yifei had used the Eye-closing Silver Tail Needle on yesterday. Originally, their strength was not weak, and after using the Eye-closing Silver Tail Needle, their power increased threefold, making them among the top experts hidden in the crowd.

The Mu Residence Guard followed behind, with the master of the Mu Residence and Muyun attending, and Xiao Yifei following Muyun alongside. After observing, Xiao Yifei also noticed the people arranged by the Mu Residence in the crowd, those who had used the Eye-closing Silver Tail Needle, and other members of the Mu Residence Guard.

"The old master of the Mu Residence is indeed cunning, the defensive measures are well prepared," Xiao Yifei thought to himself.

Entering the venue, the Mu Residence and other allied families took seats according to arrangements, while Xiao Yifei stood behind Muyun, surveying the surroundings, accompanied by several individuals—the middle-aged men whom Xiao Yifei had applied the Eye-closing Silver Tail Needle to the day before.

Throughout the venue, as the master of the Mu Residence predicted earlier, with the assistance of the allied families, coupled with the recommendation from the current top official, and Muyun's performance in the venue—not as the rumors said of being poisoned and injured, but rather exceptionally energetic—Muyun successfully ascended to the position of the current top official.

Next, the Mu Residence would face the fierce attacks from hostile forces. The opponents wouldn't easily give up, and everyone in the Mu Residence was well aware of this.

Xiao Yifei, along with several others, looked solemnly around.

At this moment, behind another family's attending team, two people were whispering, "Didn't you say that Mu Residence's kid was poisoned and wouldn't live for a few days? Why is he still standing there!"

"This..." The questioned person lowered his head, nervously unsure of how to respond.

"Send the order, execute the plan, I want the Mu Residence to pay the price!" The person glared, eyebrows raised, speaking viciously.

As the meeting ended, the group from the Mu Residence followed behind the old master and Muyun, walking out of the gathering venue.

"Yun'er, at this moment, you haven't recovered from the poison. You forced yourself to look normal at the venue just now. Now you're very weak; be extra careful later," the old master of the Mu Residence said to Muyun with concern.

"Dear nephew Xiao Yifei, I imagine that our Yun'er becoming the top official definitely won't let the opponents give up easily. On the way back to the residence, there might be many dangers; I rely on you to pay extra attention to Yun'er's safety."

"Rest assured, old master, with me by Muyun's side, I will certainly protect him with all my might," Xiao Yifei responded, casting a reassuring glance at the old master.

Whew... The old master took a deep breath, and Xiao Yifei could seemingly hear clearly the old master's urgent heartbeat.

As the master of the Mu Family, the rise and fall of the Mu Family is closely related to him, a weighty responsibility. At this moment, the most nervous yet always needing to remain calm is him.

Speaking, the group arrived at their convoy.

Much later, the four cars of the Mu Residence group drove along the road, distributed ahead and behind. At this time, they had left the bustling city center and arrived at the sparingly populated suburbs.

On the way back to the Mu Residence, when the frontmost car prepared to pass through a fork in the road, suddenly a car emerged from the fork, racing ahead of it.

The Mu Residence Guard driving the car saw this situation, hurriedly turning the steering wheel to adjust the direction and avoid a rear-end collision.

Originally, the Mu Residence convoy was in a straight line, now it was somewhat scattered.

"What happened?" the lead guard in the first car exclaimed, eyes fixed on the unexpected car ahead.

"Report... Captain, we don't know what's happening either!" A member of the Guard exclaimed, voice slightly trembling.

"There are a few cars following behind too!" Another voice chimed in.

The people in the car looked behind, gasping in surprise at the sight of nearly ten cars following their last Mu Residence car. The scene truly startled them.

"This situation, nine out of ten is aimed at us!" Xiao Yifei in the second car saw the situation.

"Put up a defense against soldiers, use earth to block water! Let them come!" Muyun's eyes revealed determination.

"If we have to fight later, we still have some hope of victory," Xiao Yifei spoke softly. After all, the Mu Residence now has guards enhanced by Xiao Yifei using the Green-eyed Silver Tail Needle, boosting their strength by three times.

Theoretically, these people whose strength is increased threefold working together can trap two Golden Elixir cultivators. If they can't even handle this, Xiao Yifei might as well die of shame. Such a transformed guard team is too embarrassing; Xiao Yifei wouldn't dare show off calling himself a Divine Doctor.

The frontmost opponent's car slowed down gently, while the following Mu Residence car avoided a collision by turning towards the other side, and the front car seemed to see its purpose, following closely in direction.

In this way, the Mu Residence car had no choice but to follow behind it, slowing down gently.

At another fork in the road, several cars suddenly covered the center of the road, forcing the Mu Residence convoy to stop at a distance.

"Stop the car!" The old master ordered, and the car engines were turned off.

"Dear nephew, Yun'er is entrusted to you. I'll lead the guard team to meet them." The old master's words were firm and fearless, making the driving Guard personnel's eyes flash with excitement, looking ahead with no fear as if facing a beast.

People from both sides got out of the car. The Mu Residence had about twenty people, while the opponents' numbers exceeded fifty. With such a disparity, the opponents all had mocking expressions, seemingly confident of winning this battle.

The old master of the Mu Residence exchanged a glance with the captain of the guard this time. The captain nodded in response. After all, the people of the Mu Residence wouldn't be foolish enough to wait for death in such a situation. It seemed like the occurrence the old master of the Mu Residence expected, already having made appropriate response plans.
