Third Grandaunt constantly complained inwardly and blamed herself for spilling the beans. Since Shen Xingyue was irritated, she could only try her best to persuade her.

But after she made a long speech, Shen Xingyue still refused to give up and insisted on going to reason with Lin Wan.

When the two were in a stalemate, Zixing happened to come to see her master. After listening to Xingyue's accusation, Shen Zixing said quickly, "You don’t need to argue with Lin Wan because Li Mu has broken the love spell."

Third Grandaunt was surprised to hear this.

"The spell is broken? How is it possible? Isn't Lin Wan pregnant now? How dare she break the spell when she is pregnant? It will consume her Qi and blood. Wasn’t she afraid of miscarriage?"

"Master, I'm not lying. Since Li Mu's fatal energy was restrained, it has dissolved and absorbed all the Gu worms in his body, so the love spell was broken."

Third Grandaunt had a sudden realization and said with a smile, "I forgot about the change of his bones. So, he is really not Little Brother Li anymore."

Shen Xingyue immediately regained her composure and said lightly, "I don’t care even if he is a eunuch. I love his soul instead of his body."

"Drop the act! You were desperate to reason with Lin Wan just now. Let me ask you. Has he agreed?"

"Mother, you need to stay out of this. We’re living in the Lin Family’s mansion now, and we can’t become enemies with Lin Wan. This matter is not urgent, and I will take my time to deal with it!"

"Lin Wan? Well, she is the householder of the Lin Family! Xingyue, you do not feel anxious, but I do! Don't worry. I will ask him in person when I see him."

Shen Xingyue was taken aback. They were the guests of the Lin Family now, so they must show respect to them. This kind of thing must not be mentioned!

But if this matter could not be brought up, she should not go to argue with Lin Wan about Li Mu’s love spell, should she? She had never thought about it.

Anyway, in Shen Xingyue's opinion, as long as things did not cross the line, she would bear it and take her time to achieve her goal.

"Mother, don't make a show of yourself, okay? We’re in the Lin Family’s mansion now. We can't risk big things for the sake of small ones. Do you want to become the Lin Family’s enemy?"

Third Grandaunt said, "Don't worry! I know when to stop, and I won't make trouble!"

"I don’t believe you! Mother, stay out of this! I beg you."

Third Grandaunt nodded casually, and Shen Xingyue looked at her nervously, suspecting her mother would make trouble again.

Early the next morning, the two families had a formal meeting. After greeting each other, they began to discuss the details of the alliance.

When Third Grandaunt looked for Li Mu in the crowd, she noticed Lin Kun at a glance and began to scan him carefully.

She had never seen Li Mu before. Lin Kun was the only young man in the opposite crowd, so she mistook him for her daughter’s beloved man.

Li Mu was actually hiding in Lin Wan’s villa now and did not dare to come out. He felt too embarrassed to meet the Shen Family, so he simply evaded them.

But Third Grandaunt didn't know about it. The old lady was not smart because she did not realize her two precious apprentices would have come if the young man opposite were Li Mu.

They clung to him very much. How could Li Mu show up without them? Since they were not here, the young man must not be Little Brother Li.

When everyone was chatting, Third Grandaunt suddenly said to Lin Kun, "Young man, you’re handsome. No wonder my daughter likes you!"

Everyone was stunned, wondering since when Shen Xingyue had fallen in love with Lin Kun. No one had seen any signs of it.

The eyes of the executives of the Lin Family lit up. If they could unite the Shen Family by marriage, it would definitely be a good thing. Being closer to each other in this way was beyond their expectations.

Lin Kun was so terrified that he almost bit his tongue. He clenched his fists and blurted out.

"It's not me. Third Grandaunt, you've mistaken me for Li Mu. Miss Shen Xingyue's beloved man is my brother-in-law!"

Lin Wan snapped in anger, "Lin Kun, stop talking nonsense!"

Lin Kun quickly shut his mouth up, not daring to say a word.

Shen Xingyue was so angry that she almost fainted. Her mother was really a big mouth. How could she say such a thing in public? She was asking for trouble!

Shen Xingyue’s face was burning, and she looked at Lin Wan subconsciously, only to find her pretty smiling face had turned cold. It seemed she was furious.

Third Grandaunt replied nonchalantly, "It turns out he's not Little Li. I thought he is Xingyue’s beloved man. Where is Little Li? Why didn't he show up? Does he feel too embarrassed to meet us?"

The two families both felt awkward. Madam Lin was upset, but she could not lose her temper now, so she shot a glance at Shen Xingyue, hinting her to say something to prevent her mother from talking nonsense.

After finishing speaking, she dragged Third Grandaunt out.

Everyone in the room let out a sigh of relief, said a few words to smooth things over, and continued to discuss the cooperation.

Outside the conference building, Big Guy was fiddling with his clothes while sitting on the ground, looking a little upset. Several warriors of the Lin Family in the distance were making frivolous remarks about his appearance.

"Big brother!" Third Grandaunt shouted.

Big Guy jumped up, walked to them quickly, and held them into his arms.

"Release us!" Third Grandaunt ordered.

After Big Guy let go of them, Third Grandaunt whispered, "Don't embrace us in public. Otherwise, others would laugh at us. Remember?"

Big Guy seemed to have only a hazy notion. After Third Grandaunt repeated her words, he nodded.

Shen Xingyue complained in a low voice, "Mother, are you out of your mind? Why did you say those words just now?"

Third Grandaunt answered in a low voice while helping Big Guy straighten his clothes, "I am not out of your mind! I said those words on purpose. And it is for your own good."

"You said those words on purpose?"

"Yeah! I mistook that young man for Li Mu at first, but then, I noticed you didn’t pay any attention to him, so I knew he couldn't be Li Mu. But I still said those words on purpose. I was just playing the fool. Understand?"

Shen Xingyue understood her purpose and said, "Mother, I understand. You want to increase our bargaining chips and to euphemistically remind Lin Wan that her husband still owes the Shen Family a favor."

"That's just one purpose, and there's another."

"Another purpose? What is it?"

Third Grandaunt looked around and asked, "I have a question. Since returning from Jiu Feng Gou, have you had any chance to be alone with Little Li?"

Shen Xingyue shook her head and smiled bitterly, "No!"

"Stupid girl! You have a chance now, right? Let's go to meet him now. If you have anything to say, you have to tell him face to face."

Shen Xingyue came to a sudden realization and finally understood her mother’s care and thought, so she couldn't help being moved.

Her mother had swallowed her pride and played the fool to create an opportunity for her to have a good talk with Li Mu.

Shen Xingyue really needed this opportunity. The Shen Family and the Lin Family were on good terms, and she often went to Lin Wan's villa as a guest, but she had never had the chance to talk to Li Mu alone.

Their special identities made it difficult for them to contact each other privately. Moreover, Lin Wan and Ms. Hong were very vigilant and had never allowed them to get along alone.

"Mother, thank you!"

"Stop talking nonsense! Contact him quickly and ask him where he is now."

After making the call, they left in a hurry with Big Guy.

...

Besides the shooting range, Shen Ming'er sneaked back to Li Mu’s side.

Li Mu was loading a magazine. Seeing her come back, he asked, "Who called you?"

"Privacy! I won't tell you!" Shen Ming'er said with a smile.

"Little girl, you became more and more arrogant! Privacy? You barely know anymore else!"

"I won't tell you anyway. Li Mu, when will we start shooting?"

"No hurry. Come and help me to load the magazines. After we finish this, we will begin to shoot."

Shen Ming'er pouted and complained, "There are loaded magazines! Why do we load them by ourselves? Don't you have nothing else to do?"

Shen Zixing scolded, "Stop talking nonsense! Come and help."

Li Mu explained, "It's very easy to shoot, but it's not easy if you want to hit the bull's-eye. If you want to practice shooting, you must understand the structure of your gun and be familiar with it. You will start by loading the magazines and then slowly build up an intimate connection with your gun. Well, you can’t understand it now no matter how I explain. Learn from your sister, and follow my orders."

Shen Ming'er nodded and came over to load the magazines. After they loaded a dozen magazines, they started to practice shooting.

The Lin Family had professional shooting coaches, and one of them first explained the main points of shooting in detail to them.

Li Mu was very patient. Others would start to practice shooting after listening to the coach for ten minutes at most, but he had asked all kinds of questions for almost an hour. In the end, the coach had become a little impatient.

After entering the shooting range, Zixing and Ming’er put on earmuffs, but Li Mu refused to wear them. He wanted to hear the sound of the shooting, not wanting to block his senses.

Bang! Bang! Bang! The girls quickly emptied their first magazines. Although they had never shot real bullets before, their performance was not bad. After all, they had practiced fighting skills for years, so their strength, eyesight, and stability were all excellent.

The two sisters had shot ten bullets each, and every bullet had hit the target, although they hadn’t hit the bull's-eye.

As beginners, they were very good. The shooting coaches all complimented them, so they couldn't help but feel a little proud.

When they turned to look at Li Mu, they found he was still holding the gun, and the muzzle was pointed at the target, but he had not pulled the trigger.

"Brother Mu, what are you doing?" Shen Zixing couldn't help asking.

"I'm waiting for the call!" Li Mu said seriously.

The two sisters didn't understand, so Shen Ming'er asked curiously, "Li Mu, whose call are you waiting for?"

"The gun will call me. The target will call me. I'm waiting for the feeling."

"The target and the gun will call you? Will they ask you to hit them?"

The sisters giggled, and the shooting coaches also laughed together with them.

Li Mu replied calmly, "You don't understand. Shooting is the same as sleeping with a woman. The first shot is very important. I will remember my first shot forever, so I don't want to have any regrets."

Hearing this, the ladies blushed with embarrassment, but the shooting coaches were all awed!

Li Mu stayed still for as long as half an hour before he finally pulled the trigger.
