"Good," agreed Lady Mu, and she went with Lady Xia to change her attire.

After they left, several men, including Master Xia, turned to look at Xia Xi.

Xia Yue and Xia Xi sat back down in their original positions, and the system hopped onto Xia Yue’s lap, eyeing the Ghost Poisonous Insect imprinted on the yellow paper in Xia Xi’s hand.

"[This thing looks edible, I kinda want to give it a try.]" The system looked at the Ghost Poisonous Insect and said to Xia Yue.

"Could you please not want to try everything? How can you even think about trying something so disgusting? The taste must be terrible." Xia Yue rolled her eyes at it and said.

"Xia Xi, could you explain in detail what this thing is?" Master Xia asked as he looked at Xia Xi.

"This is a type of poisonous insect forbidden to be bred in the Miao Region, and only elders have the knowledge to breed them. But to my knowledge, it requires a considerable cost and very stringent conditions to successfully breed this insect, it’s not an easy task.

Only the master can control this insect, and it cannot be controlled over a long distance. Elder members of the Miao Region will not leave their region casually, and if they do so, they need to report to the local Special Department."

"The Ghost Poisonous Insect, lives by absorbing ghostly Qi. Whoever is targeted by it will slowly have their vital energy drained clean. Even after death, their soul will be consumed entirely, preventing them from reincarnation. This insect would only be used by someone who harbors intense hatred for you. Do you have anyone who hates you this much?" Xia Xi finished speaking and asked Master Xia.

The old men looked at each other and thought carefully about whether there was such a person, they all shook their heads after failing to identify anyone.

"[Ask Xuanxuan, it should know who the insect was heading to. It should be easy to investigate if you know this.]" The system reminded Xia Yue.

Having heard the system’s suggestion, Xia Yue looked down at Xuanxuan and asked, "Xuanxuan, do you know who that creature was after?"

Hearing Xia Yue’s question, all the old men turned to look.

"Meow, I know." Xuanxuan let out a little call and nodded its head.

"Was it him?" Xia Yue asked one by one by pointing Xuanxuan’s paw at the few old masters.

However, Xuanxuan shook its head to them all.

"If it’s not us, then it has to be Yue Yun or Mu Qing. When they return, let’s ask them and see where the problem lies." Old Master Han said.

"Xiaoyun has always been gracious and courteous since I met her, she’s never even blushed in anger." Master Xia knew his wife very well, they have had disagreements in their relationship, but they were stable overall.

"We’ve known Mu Qing since she was a child, she’s always been gentle and never got into a fight with anyone." Old Master Lin also said.

"No, you forgot that Old Master Yang used to have a secret admirer. Mu Qing and he almost broke up due to this, and it was quite the scandal back then. If it weren’t for Old Master Yang’s persistence, Mu Qing might not have even married him.

That secret admirer caused a bit of trouble after their wedding, and only disappeared after Old Master Yang sorted her out.

I remember that woman seemed to be from the Miao Region. Could she be coming back for revenge on Mu Qing?" Suddenly Old Master Qin said, looking at them.

"I remember now, I think that woman was indeed from the Miao Region."

"What revenge could she possibly seek? She has no right to take revenge. If it weren’t for her, Mu Qing wouldn’t have lost her child, and even lose her ability to reproduce. If anyone should be seeking revenge, it should be Mu Qing seeking it from her." Old Master Lin said indignantly. He had liked Mu Qing in his youth, although he was rejected by her, they remained good friends.
