Chapter 463 Performing a Play

The Fifth Princess was so angry that her whole body was trembling, and her face was blue as she looked at them.

Li Mu hurriedly said, "Don't even talk nonsense, what grilled fish to eat in broad daylight, do the right thing, hurry up and do the right thing!"

After saying that, he nodded towards the Fifth Princess as if to curry favor.

The Fifth Princess suppressed the anger in her heart and continued, ''We can look for missions that are not dangerous, and at this stage, safety needs to be put first!

It doesn't matter if the pay is low, we've got all the time in the world, take it day by day, take it slow!"

Li Mu laughed, "You set it, whatever you say to take it is what you say, you're the boss, we're the entourage, we listen to you."

The Fifth Princess did not comment, knowing that 80% of him still wished to go exploring.

Without pointing him out, she went back to looking at the mission cards.

Finally, pointing to a quest announcement, he said to the others, "Let's pick that one, it's relatively easy and the pay is good, we can take our chances."

Saying that, without waiting for Li Mu and the others to see the content clearly, he directly ripped that announcement from the bulletin board and shoved it into Li Mu's hand.

"The mission is clearly explained above, so read it first.

By the way, there's still a need to pass an interview, no wonder no one has taken this quest, I'm sure they've all been brushed off during the interview."

Li Mu slightly frowned, this girl is really annoying, this side tells others not to be impulsive, but he himself does things without proportion.

Let you set, that's just a polite word, you really think you're the boss.

What exactly is the mission? You have to let us see it clearly before making a decision, how can you act so rashly.

Good man, you're just going to do it before we can see what it's about. You're too arbitrary!

Lin Wan and the others were also greatly dissatisfied and looked at the Fifth Princess with disgust in their eyes.

In fact, the Fifth Princess was unintentional.

She regretted it when she was done and secretly blamed herself for not being careful.

The Fifth Princess is the leading member of the Heavenly Dragon Clan, the jewel in the palm of her parents' eyes, and she has been in the top position for a long time and is used to saying one thing or another.

Her actions just now were completely subconscious and she didn't even think about it that much.

In the eyes of Master Kei and Master Qian, this was perfectly normal behavior.

But in the eyes of Li Mu and the others, it was overbearing and disrespectful.

When she saw Lin Wan and the others looking at her with an unkind gaze, the Fifth Princess hurriedly apologized, ''I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was in a hurry.

That mission does suit us quite well, and my sisters won't complain about my recklessness once they've seen it."

Reimu waved his hand and unfolded the announcement to read the contents in detail.

The instructions on it are simple, this quest involves posing as a family member of the employer to investigate a matter that the employer has commissioned.

Probably for the sake of secrecy, the semantics were expressed so vaguely that Li Mu didn't understand it at all.

However, in terms of his experience in the struggle, the simpler something seemed, the more complicated and difficult it tended to be.

He couldn't help but complain, ''You girl, you didn't wait for me to take a good look before rushing to make a move.

This type of poorly articulated mission is not likely to be of a sinister nature, so do not take it lightly!"

The Fifth Princess looked at him with a smile, not caring as she responded, "What are you afraid of, isn't it just impersonating a family member?

Accompanying them in a play is just that, what a simple task, not to be claimed for nothing!"

Li Mu seriously sized up the Fifth Princess, the latter was a bit embarrassed and pouted, "Why are you looking at me like this, it's embarrassing!"

"Never got your name, can you tell me?"

The Fifth Princess said shyly, "My name is Long Ling Shan!"

"Miss Ling Shan, after being in contact with you for a long time, why do I feel that you are becoming less and less reliable, your ideas are too simple!

Is that a matter of acting in a scene, what if I let you play the daughter-in-law, do you want to call a strange man your husband, do you need to eat and sleep with him?"

"Ah, I... I didn't think of that... what should I do then?" The Fifth Princess asked with a bitter face.

Reimu gave her a blank look.

"It's not impulsive to make a furtive move before you've thought it through.

You!

Forget about you, remember, when we meet our employer later, the other party will definitely ask about our relationship.

You must be truthful and block the path of pretending to be a couple first, and do the rest as you see fit!"

The Fifth Princess nodded her head busily and said, "I'm not going to pretend to be someone else's partner, if it's a mission like that, I'll definitely refuse!"

Not long after, a fellow from the Hall of Knowledge came over to greet the crowd.

"Gentlemen, please follow me, the employer would like to see you."

A few people followed the fellow toward the back, and Li Mu whispered instructions to the fifth princess.

"In a moment, when we are introduced, don't say the wrong thing, and whatever the other person says, don't easily agree to it, and think it over before replying to the other person."

The Fifth Princess promised, and Li Mu instructed Lin Wan and the others to be careful, a few people understood and secretly nodded.

They were taken to the backyard and came to a tent, where the fellow went in first to give an announcement, and came out and said to them, "All of you go in and have a good chat with your employer!"

The crowd entered the tent and saw an old woman sitting on the main seat of the room.

Full of gray hair and a sullen, preoccupied look.

The old woman just glanced up at them when she saw a living person enter the house and made no extra movement.

There were many chairs around the tent, and the fellow invited the people to sit down, then said to the old lady, "Grandma, the people have been brought."

The old lady gave a hmmm through her nose, signaling that the fellow could leave.

After the fellow left the tent, the old lady's eyes were looking around at Li Mu and the others, and judging by her expression, she seemed quite satisfied.

No one said anything, and everyone looked at her in silence.

After a full ten minutes had passed, the old lady opened her mouth and asked, "Forgive me for taking the liberty, but I'd like to know a little bit about what kind of relationship you all have?"

The Fifth Princess followed Li Mu's instructions and said frankly, "These two are my attendants, this gentleman is my friend, those three fairies are his wives, and those two young ladies are his sisters."

The old lady's complexion did not change as she turned her head to Li Mu and asked, "Does your son usually like to travel?"

Li Mu shook his head and said, "With mundane matters, I usually rarely go out."

The old lady asked several more questions one after another, and Li Mu answered them one by one.

Gradually, Marquis Li felt wrong, this old lady why grabbed me not to let go, can not be a hit me!

Satisfied with Li Mu's reply, the old lady stated her request.

"I'm not hiding anything from you, I have two sons, my second son left home a long time ago to travel and is still unknown, I have been living with my eldest son.

At the front end of the time, my eldest son suddenly died, the cause of death is unclear, I suspect that my eldest daughter-in-law is the cause of his death, but I have been suffering from the lack of evidence.

Now that my eldest daughter-in-law intends to inherit my son's secret realm and is preparing to drive me back to my mother's home, I am not willing to leave like this, which is why I came up with a scheme."

The old woman paused for a moment to give Li Mu and the others time to digest.

Reimu had already guessed what she was going to say, and out of politeness, gestured for her to continue on.

The old woman continued, "I'm looking for someone to impersonate my second son, return from his adventures, and return to his home.

That would give me a reason to stay and continue to investigate the death of my oldest son.

Moreover, I want to use my second son's identity to reclaim the secret realm handed down by my husband, so as to prevent my eldest daughter-in-law's plot from succeeding."

Li Mu asked, "How long has your second son been away from home?"

The old lady replied, "My second son has been away from home for almost two hundred years, and when he left, he was a fifth level demonic warrior, the pride of our Su family."

Li Mu asked with some doubt, "Even if he comes back in person, how can you guarantee that he won't be kicked out by his sister-in-law?"

The old lady said, ''Please don't worry about this, Your Excellency, my eldest son's secret realm was passed down to him by my husband.

When my husband died unexpectedly, he once made everyone swear that this secret place could only be inherited by my son.

After my eldest son died, the secret realm naturally belonged to my second son.

Therefore, as long as my second son returns safely, my eldest daughter-in-law can only hand over the secret realm."

He Xiaoyu asked in disbelief, "Old man, since it was your husband's secret realm, why is it that you didn't have the right to inherit it after your eldest son's death, what kind of reasoning is that?"

The old lady's old face flushed, and after hesitating for a while, she still explained, "I have some conflicts with my husband.

I have a brother in my mother's family, and my husband has always complained that I'm too partial to him, so..."

Cripes, this is still a brother-supporting demon, I'm afraid that the original purpose of fighting for the secret realm is also for her brother!

Li Mu continued to pursue, "Old man, let me ask another question, does your eldest son have an heir?"

"No heir!"

Hearing this, Li Mu and the others were clear about what happened.

Lin Wan discussed with her husband in a low voice, "Husband, it turns out that you want to install her son, how about this job, take it or leave it?"

"The old lady has 80% of her eyes on me, but I'm afraid I'll be a target once I impersonate her second son.

This job is still pretty dangerous, don't worry, I'm asking in detail?"

"Well, I hear you!"

Li Mu asked the old lady again, "Old man, can you tell me what you usually need to do to impersonate your second son?"

The old lady smiled and replied, "Nothing needs to be done, I just need a reason to stay on and don't need your help with anything."

Seeing that Li Mu was still a bit hesitant, the old lady explained, "Don't worry, no one knows about this matter except us.

Also, many people are trying to figure out the cause of my oldest son's death and don't want to give up the family fortune to my oldest daughter-in-law for no reason.

So they should be happy to see my son come home, and as long as I say yes, they won't suspect anything.

And as soon as I get the real evidence, I'll showdown with my eldest daughter-in-law, and at that point, you'll be able to take your payoff and leave."

"What's the payoff?"

"One is the Qi Gathering Bead, a quantity sufficient for you to survive in the void for fifty years.

The second is permanent residency in the secret realm, where you may return at any time to replenish your supplies, or live there for extended periods of time."

Truth be told, the payoff is quite generous, and the fact that it will solve their biggest problem once and for all is very attractive and compelling.
