The foundation of the Fire Talisman Celestial Master Mansion lies here. Li Yuemei took a deep breath. She wasn’t confident about becoming the Li Family Master’s successor. "What about the Copper Coin Celestial Master Mansion? Who are they supporting?" Mo Lin asked Li Yuemei. "They seem to support my elder brother, but they haven’t stated it outright. I don’t know the specifics either." As the two spoke, they had already arrived at the Li Family’s residence. At this moment, Li Wuya and Li Gu were both seated in the living room. There was no sign of the Li Family Master. The two were chatting and laughing, discussing something unknown. Seeing Li Yuemei bringing Mo Lin in, the smiles on their faces faded. "Third sister, still not giving up? Are you counting on a level-five Ghost-Controlling Master to help you become the family master’s successor? Be more realistic." Li Gu mocked Li Yuemei. Li Gu clearly had issues with Li Yuemei. From the beginning until now. Whenever he encountered Li Yuemei, he would inevitably say something unpleasant. Li Yuemei herself was used to it. "Father’s in the basement, waiting for you to go over." Li Wuya said slowly. Li Yuemei nodded, then led Mo Lin to the basement. Once again seeing the Li Family Master. Mo Lin’s heart suddenly trembled. The Li Family Master’s hair was completely white, and there were more wrinkles on his face. He looked like he had aged many years. Even more so than when Mo Lin first met him. His back was even hunched. "You’re here..." The Li Family Master’s voice was also very weary. "Alas... I was almost assassinated." The Li Family Master gave a bitter smile. Mo Lin didn’t know the specifics, but he could feel the Li Family Master wouldn’t live long. "You want the Netherworld’s Nether Fire. I don’t oppose that, provided Li Yuemei can become the family master’s successor." The Li Family Master stated plainly before Mo Lin. He had known about the deal between Mo Lin and Li Yuemei for a long time. "Give me a reason, a reason that can convince me to let Li Yuemei become the family master’s successor." The Li Family Master asked Mo Lin. When he passes, someone must take over the Li Family. The person taking over must have the power to uphold the Li Family. He had especially summoned Li Yuemei to confirm if she was qualified to compete for the Li Family Master’s successor. "I am the Deputy Minister of the Ghost-Controlling Master. I represent the entire Ghost-Controlling Master to support Li Yuemei." Mo Lin said calmly and unhurriedly. The Li Family Master shook his head, "No." The Ghost-Controlling Society’s power in Beihai is very weak, not enough to matter. "I can persuade the Thunder Talisman Celestial Master Mansion to change their minds and support Li Yuemei." Mo Lin said again. The Li Family Master’s eyes lit up, "How will you persuade the Thunder Talisman Celestial Master Mansion?" Mo Lin slowly took out the Thunder Talisman and said, "With this thing, I can persuade the Thunder Talisman Celestial Master Mansion." Indeed, if Mo Lin was willing to give the Thunder Talisman to Zhuge Mingyue, she would definitely support Li Yuemei a hundred percent. "These aren’t the main points. The main point is my power." Mo Lin slowly took out the Ghost Suppression Book and then called out. "Chen Xi... Chu Xing... Gan Liangjun... Hong Ye..." Soon, a dozen Nightmare Level ghosts appeared in front of him. Mo Lin took out the Netherworld Currency, then transformed it into a swirl of Nether Qi, injecting it into Chen Xi’s body. Mo Lin brought out fifty thousand Netherworld Currency. The power within Chen Xi gradually increased. It was as if some kind of shackle suddenly broke. A force, centered on Chen Xi, spread outwards. A terrifying aura swept through. Chen Xi was already on the verge of breaking through to a higher realm, Mo Lin just provided some assistance. Li Yuemei’s pupils dilated. Having witnessed this scene, she was completely amazed by Mo Lin’s terror. Casually elevating a ghost’s level? This was too outrageous. This meant that as long as Mo Lin had enough Netherworld Currency, he could elevate all ghosts to the Deadly Level? Isn’t this terrifying enough? Even more outrageous was that Mo Lin had so many ghosts... The quality of the ghosts determined a Ghost-Controlling Master’s strength. The number of ghosts did not seem to be a limit for Mo Lin? Could this mean that Mo Lin would have more and more ghosts in the future? Thinking of this, Li Yuemei’s expression towards Mo Lin changed. Despair in her eyes was once again replaced with a glimmer of hope. If Mo Lin fully supported her, she seemed to have a chance to become the Li Family Master’s successor. "This is my power." Mo Lin explained to the Li Family Master. The Li Family Master’s face showed a long-lost smile. "Impressive... impressive..." It was the first time he had praised someone . "I can also raise Li Yuemei to a level-six Ghost-Controlling Master." Mo Lin said to the Li Family Master again. The Li Family Master was startled once more. "The waves of the Yangtze River push on those before us. I am indeed old." "Do you still think Li Yuemei isn’t qualified to be the Li Family Master’s successor?" Mo Lin asked the Li Family Master. Follow current novels on 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵※𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮※𝓷𝓮𝓽 "It’s settled. With your support, she seems very suitable to be the Li Family successor." The Li Family Master was knowledgeable and well-experienced. Mo Lin’s methods showed that he was strong enough. "In a few days, I will hold a contest. You can display your abilities to your heart’s content. Whoever wins then will be the Li Family Master’s successor." The Li Family Master wouldn’t directly give the successor position to Li Yuemei. There’s no rule like that, and it definitely wouldn’t be fair to his other two sons. So holding a contest was more appropriate. "Alright." Mo Lin nodded in agreement. Before the contest was held, he needed to quickly restore his strength. This way, nothing unexpected would happen. Li Wuya suddenly shivered, showing a look of astonishment. Li Gu was also taken aback. Deadly Level ghost... The aura just now was indeed from a Deadly Level ghost. The two of them looked towards the direction of the basement simultaneously. At this moment, Mo Lin and Li Yuemei slowly came out of the basement. Meanwhile, the Li Family Master also came out with them. "Miss... someone is here for Mo Lin." A man walked in respectfully reporting to Li Yuemei. "Bring the person in." Li Yuemei instructed the man. Zheng Nan hurriedly walked into the courtyard. "Something has happened with Mo Lin." Zheng Nan said anxiously to Mo Lin. "Your friend, Lin Xi, was captured by Xin Lang." "What?" Mo Lin furrowed his brows and shouted angrily. He had calculated everything but hadn’t thought of the Xin Family’s retaliation. "I’ll leave first." After bidding farewell to Li Yuemei, Mo Lin left following Zheng Nan. "What happened?" Mo Lin asked Zheng Nan. "The Xin Family seems to know that Shen Zimin and the others want to destroy the Shen Family, so they captured Lin Xi to threaten you." "Xin Lang wants to see you now, the location is at the Century Business Hotel." Zheng Nan slowly explained to Mo Lin. "Let’s go, take a look." Mo Lin’s face was pale as he followed Zheng Nan to the Century Business Hotel. Just arriving at the Century Business Hotel, he saw people standing sparsely around. There were no ordinary people, only Ghost-Controlling Masters. There were several level-six Ghost-Controlling Masters present. Mo Lin quickly spotted Zheng Zimin among the crowd. "Can’t handle such a small task? Can’t keep even a shred of information hidden?" Mo Lin questioned Zheng Zimin. Zheng Zimin lowered his head, apologizing to Mo Lin, "Lord Mo, I am truly sorry." He knew very well that because of his lack of caution in handling things, he had implicated Mo Lin. If it weren’t for the news of wanting to destroy the Xin Family getting out, the Xin Family wouldn’t have retaliated. And they wouldn’t have captured Lin Xi to threaten Mo Lin either.
