Chapter 51 Lu Family
In the courtyard, Ye Xinxia sat quietly on the swing, the violet hairpin on her head swaying in the wind.

"Brother Bai Le is now Lu Kun's adopted son, so doesn't that mean he is the grandson of the head of the Lu family?"

"almost."

"The Lu family in the Magic City, it's as big as Sister Mu's family." Ye Xinxia's legs swayed in the wind, and the gentle wind blew through her white stockings.

"With the Lu family as a backer, Brother Bai Le doesn't have to worry about Sister Mu's father making things difficult for him. Although I only saw the news on my phone, it's hard to believe that a big shot like Lu Kun would adopt Brother as his adopted son. It is said that the Lu family did not support Lu Kun's decision and had a big fight over it. However, it is said that the all-powerful head of the Lu family personally stepped forward and decided to take Brother into the Lu family."

"It's not that exaggerated. Tomorrow, the head of the Lu family will hold a birthday party and announce to the outside world that I will be accepted into the Lu family. Do you, Xinxia, ​​want to go and see?" Bai Le gently pushed the swing.

"It's a birthday party. It should be very lively. I'd better not bother Brother Bai Le. But Brother, you have to promise me that you will come back early tomorrow. I'll wait for you in bed."

Thinking of Xinxia's bold actions every night, Bai Le reacted and silently recited the Heart Purification Mantra to calm his restlessness.

The magic high school admissions committee will host magic awakening for students. Now Xinxia has not yet awakened her magic and her body has not fully developed, so Bai Le will not do anything to Xinxia.

Raise it for a few more years, raise it for a few more years, Bai Le thought in his heart.

Qingtian Hunting House.

Lingling was still reading a thick picture book outside the house, swinging her beautiful legs. When I got closer, I found that it was a bizarre legend about monsters and demons.

"Here he comes, the adopted son of the Lu family who's about to return home. I really don't know what kind of magic potion you fed Lu Kun to make him agree to take you in as his adopted son. You wouldn't sell yourself to Lu Kun, would you?" Lingling's words were still as poisonous as ever, without any mercy.

"I'm your partner!"

“Oh, if my father hadn’t been away on business, I wouldn’t have ended up partnering with you, such a young brat.” Lingling closed the picture book, snorted, and walked towards the room in the store.

"Bai Le is here, please sit down." An old man in the store said with a smile.

"Lingling's intelligence is not better than that of ordinary people. She has seen a lot after following her father over the years, and she is a little arrogant. Please take good care of her when executing the commission." Old Man Bao took out an agreement from under the bar and casually threw it to Bai Le to see.

"This is your first commission as a partner with Lingling."

Bai Le opened the agreement, somewhat curious about what his first commission would be.

The agreement was simple. It was the client's proposal to clean up the demon. The client had recently heard demons lurking in his garden at midnight, and it was said that it was an undead spirit that intended to harm him.

The agreement was signed yesterday, requiring Qingtian Hunting House to deal with the undead within three days.

"Other hunting lodges have also carried out commissions, but no suspicious traces were found. As a necromancer, you should be able to capture some clues."

"Mu family?"

Bai Le noticed the location stated in the agreement, a private garden on the outskirts of the city. That area was where rich people lived. If he remembered correctly, the Mu family’s base camp was not far away.

"The client once asked the Mu family for help, but according to the Mu family, they didn't find any trace of the dead. The commission is a bit tricky. You and Lingling go and take a look. If you don't find anything, give up the commission." Old Man Bao was buried in the smoke, looking a little melancholy.

"The other party has paid 200,000 yuan in advance for this commission. After the commission is completed, another 800,000 yuan will be transferred to you. After the commission is completed, you and Lingling will split it equally."

"100?"

It does seem that the situation is urgent, and a commission of 100 million is already considered a large order.

"Take good care of Lingling. If anything happens during the commission, save her life first." "By the way, Lingling has gone upstairs to look for information. You can go upstairs to look for her. The undead usually appear at night. You can go to the private garden together this afternoon so as not to delay your work tomorrow."

Old Man Bao obviously knew that Bai Le was adopted by Lu Kun, but he didn't ask much.

The entire second floor is like a library, filled with some relatively old books and some sealed materials. Many of the information bags are covered with a layer of dust, and they are obviously quite old.

The little girl Lingling was sitting on a rattan chair, her eyes as bright as pearls scanning the documents placed on her knees very attentively.

She read very quickly, and it felt like she had scanned the entire page in less than ten seconds.

"Hey, idiot, what kind of undead ghost do you think would appear and disappear so mysteriously?" Lingling said to Bai Le who was going upstairs while searching quickly.

"First, my name is not Wei, but Bai Le. Second, the undead only appear in certain places and their range of activities is limited. The undead who can come and go freely and make other hunters return empty-handed are not something we can deal with. Maybe the client is mentally ill. Encountering the undead is not a good thing."

"Oh, Bai Le, how did you manage to summon the initial level of Undead Warriors? I looked through so much information but couldn't find it." Lingling lowered her head and flipped through the book, but her reading frequency did not slow down because of talking.

"It seems like you are investigating me. It is said that curiosity is the beginning of falling in love with someone."

"You pervert! You fat otaku! When dad comes back I will tell him that you are a complete pervert and have him kick you out of the Qingtian Hunting Ground."

Bai Le leaned against the handrail of the stairs and didn't care about what the little loli said, because your father has been buried by me.

"found it!"

"There is a special kind of existence among the dead called ghosts. Ghosts are often the dead who are full of resentment and unwilling to die. They attach themselves to a certain object and exist. Different ghosts parasitize different media. The stupid rich man who commissioned the project should have found an antique of unknown origin at the market."

"Your account has received 16 million yuan..."

"A stupid guy who is being kept."

Lingling sealed the information, then went downstairs with a grumble.

Bai Le sat on the stool which still had some warmth left in it, and dozed off with his eyes closed.

The Mu family, are you getting anxious when you hear that he was adopted by Lu Kun?
After returning from outside the city, he and Mu Nujiao went to the Mu family to deliver the spirit essence. On the way, he was taken away by the people of the Trial Council, and the original 16 million was reduced to 5 million.

······
Around noon, Old Man Bao very kindly invited Bai Le to have dinner in the restaurant. Lingling seemed very unhappy. She kept looking at the tablet during the meal and didn't even notice that the food she was picking up with chopsticks had fallen on the table.

"Let's go." After eating, Bai Le took Lingling out for a walk. The undead usually appear at night, so there was still plenty of time before executing the commission.

"Have you heard? Lu Kun of the Lu family adopted a son, and it is said that he is the son of a criminal."

"Isn't it? If you ask me, Lu Kun is simply blind. His vision is not as good as mine. Will he continue to do evil after taking in the son of a criminal?"

"Shh, keep your voice down. After all, they are a big family. We can't afford to offend them."

Walking on the street, people coming and going were discussing Lu Kun's adopted son. The son of a sinner was enough for them to talk about it with relish.

　As usual, there will be another chapter later.
