After many inquiries and searching, Shi Dami finally found the mysterious wizard in a very remote and rarely visited alley.

I saw the wizard's face haggard, his wrinkles were everywhere on his face, as if he was telling the vicissitudes of time and endless stories.

Shi Dami couldn't wait to walk forward and said solemnly: "I am Shi Dami, the minister in the court. Today I will come to you without hesitation. It is really important."

When the wizard heard this, he raised his eyes slightly, his eyes calm as water, and he slowly spoke: "No matter whether you are a minister in the court or a commoner, when you come to me, everyone is equal, and there is no distinction between high and low."

Shi Dami was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said with a more sincere attitude: "I know your principles and position, but this time I came here, I really wanted to invite you. I sincerely hope that you can come out, do things for me, and work in the court. As long as you are willing, you can rest assured in terms of financial remuneration, and there will be no less. I can guarantee you that you will definitely get something for your work and will never treat it unfairly."

The wizard listened quietly to Shi Dami's words, but there was still no turbulence on his face. After a while, he sighed softly and said, "Money is just something outside of me. How many people in this world have lost their true hearts because of chasing money? How could I step into the court dispute for it?"

When Shi Dami heard this, he was nervous and hurriedly said, "I hope the master will not refuse for the sake of the people in the world."

When the wizard heard this, a trace of movement finally flashed in his eyes. He slowly stood up, and the worn black robe swayed gently in the wind, as if thinking about this difficult problem.

After a long time, he looked at Shi Dami and slowly spoke, "The wizard said expressionlessly: "If you want me to agree to your request, you have to work for me first. Now go to fetch water, the water tank should be full; then go to put rice and sprinkle every corner of the yard."

Shi Dami acted in a hurry. When carrying water, the bucket seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, which made him stagger. When putting rice, he was busy and sprinkled extremely unevenly.

After finally completing it, Shi Dami looked at the wizard with a flattering smile. The wizard nodded slightly, "Hmph, I'm quite sincere. Wait for me to prepare for this and go with you."

At this time, he saw Shi Dami's button off.

"Why are the buttons on your clothes gone?"

"Maybe I accidentally fell out while working, it doesn't matter."

Shi Dami and the wizard set out together and walked towards the court.

When he reached a seemingly ordinary courtyard, the wizard suddenly stopped.

"This is my home, I need to go back and get some items." said the wizard.

Shi Dami looked surprised, and when he looked at the courtyard carefully, he was suddenly shocked.

This was the place where he had sheltered from the rain on a rainy day. The kind old woman and the cute Jiaojiao lived here at that time. Unexpectedly, he had such a connection with the wizard. He was full of incredible feelings.

The wizard stepped into the house and saw the body of the old woman standing on the ground at a glance. The familiar face was lifeless at this time. He stood there as if he was struck by lightning, his eyes were full of shock and disbelief.

Before he could recover, he caught a glimpse of Jiaojiao who had committed suicide by hanging herself. Her small body was hanging in the air like a flower that had withered prematurely.

His lips trembled, and after a while, he let out a heart-wrenching scream, and his whole body fell on the verge of collapse.

He rushed over frantically, trying to hug Jiaojiao, but collapsed to the ground powerlessly, murmured "What's going on, what's going on..."

His eyes suddenly fixed on the buttons in Jiaojiao's hand, and then looked at Shi Dami. When he thought that the same button was missing on his clothes, he was immediately furious.

"You! Are you? Are you, you demon!" The wizard roared, and the anger in his eyes seemed to swallow Shi Dami, "Why are you so cruel? They are just ordinary people!"

Shi Dami retreated repeatedly and waved his hand in panic, "No, it's not me, I don't know why this is happening!"

But the wizard was already blinded by grief and anger. He rushed towards Shi Dami and the two wrestled together.

Shi Dami blushed and shouted loudly: "This matter has nothing to do with me, don't swear!"

The wizard's eyes widened.

"Hmph, how can such a coincidence happen in the world? Where does this button come from?"

Shi Dami was secretly ruthless in his heart, thinking that the old wizard now believed that it was my own actions. If he was letting him go back, it would be unfavorable to me when he arrived at the court. It would be better to take this opportunity to get rid of him.

His eyes turned cold, he clenched his fists quietly, and secretly looked for the opportunity to take action.

The murderous intent in Shi Dami's eyes became stronger and stronger. He rushed towards the wizard and tried to throw him to the ground.

Although the wizard was old, he reacted very quickly and waved his sideways, avoiding Shi Dami's attack.

"Okay, you sinister villain, it's you!" The wizard roared, waved his hand, and a strange light shot towards Shi Dami.

Shi Dami quickly rolled and avoided. After getting up, he took out a dagger from his arms.

"Old thing, you must die today!" As he said that, he rushed towards the wizard again, and the two of them fought desperately in the courtyard.

The items around were blown away by their fight, and they were in a mess.

The wizard evaded and shouted, "You evil man, you will be punished by God when you act like this!"

However, Shi Dami has been swallowed by ambition and fear, so he can't hear it.

He thought to himself that he would never let the wizard live.

Shi Dami rushed towards the wizard desperately, and the dagger in his hand flashed with a cold light.

The wizard was old and weak, and gradually lost to the enemy. He was eventually strangled by Shi Dami.

The wizard's face turned red, his eyes were full of anger and unwillingness, but his life gradually faded away and he could not rest until his death.

After Shi Dami killed the wizard, he stood there and gasped.

At this moment, a burst of hearty laughter came from the air like a ghost, and the laughter echoed in this small courtyard full of the breath of death.

Shi Dami felt his heart shrink suddenly, and he jumped up in fear.

His eyes were full of panic, and his eyes were searching around in a panic, and finally frozen at the door.

I saw a man at some point at the door. He was tall and straight, holding a delicate fan in his hand, shaking it lightly.

The man outlined a meaningful smile, but that smile made Shi Dami feel like falling into an ice cellar.

"Hmph, don't be so panicked. You look like a mouse, really lose your style as a minister." The man's voice was a bit joking, "I can see clearly how you kill this old thing."

Shi Dami tried hard to stabilize his trembling body, and pretended to be calm and asked coldly: "Who are you? What do you want to do?"

His hands were quietly clenched behind his back, ready to deal with the attack at any time.

The man seemed to hear an extremely funny question. He was stunned at first, and then a louder laugh broke out, which made Shi Dami's ears buzz.

After a while, the man stopped laughing, pointed at Shi Dami with a fan, and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter who I am. What's important is that I have an irreconcilable hatred with this old wizard. I have been looking forward to his death, and now he is in your hands, I'm not happy yet. Don't worry, I won't do anything to you, but we may still be allies."

He walked slowly towards Shi Dami as he said, and every step seemed to be on Shi Dami's nervous nerves.

Shi Dami stared at the approaching man step by step with a vigilant voice, and said in a low voice: "Ally? Humph, why should I believe you? Don't get closer!"

The man seemed to have not heard it, and he still walked slowly, with a deeper smile on the corner of his mouth.

"If you don't believe me, that's okay. If you kill a wizard, if it spreads, what good will you think you will have? Those who worship him will not let you go, the murderer, let alone a famous wizard."

The man stopped a few steps away from Shi Dami, his eyes showing cunning insight into everything.

Shi Dami felt a stern in his heart. He knew very well what the man said was not false.

"What do you want?" Shi Dami asked gritted her teeth.

"It's very simple, we cooperate. Once the wizard dies, some things will be left unattended. Let's get it together. At that time, there will be glory, wealth, power and status."

The man's eyes were shining with a greed light, as if he had seen a bright future.

Shi Dami was a little shaken. He was an ambitious person, but he was still worried: "Aren't you afraid that I will kill you to silence me now?"

The man shook the fan lightly and said indifferently: "You can try it, but my people are nearby. As long as I have a short and short time, your secret will spread throughout the streets and alleys immediately."

Shi Dami clenched her fists and fell into deep thought. The man in front of her was like a poisonous snake, dangerous but deadly tempting.

The man raised his head slightly, with a complex expression in his expression, and said slowly: "To be honest, I am the wizard's junior brother, my name is Alexander. I should have been looking for him to kill him, but I didn't expect you to come first."

Shi Dami frowned, and there was still a look of suspicion in her eyes, "What are you saying true? What are the credentials?"

Alexander chuckled and took out a jade pendant from his arms. The texture was gentle, and the patterns engraved on it were somewhat similar to some mysterious symbols in the wizard's home.

"This jade pendant is the token of my fellow disciples. He has one piece, and I have one piece. Are you trusting now?"

Shi Dami looked at the jade pendant and was still half-doubted, but her expression eased a little, "Even if you are his junior brother, then how can you ensure that I can escape unscathed after the matter is completed?"

Alexander patted his chest and promised: "I am absolutely keeping my mouth shut today. My senior brother is old-fashioned and pedantic, and I have long been looking forward to his disappearance."

After saying that, he looked at Shi Dami impatiently, "Why are you so long-winded? If you don't want to cooperate, then I will leave and think I have never been there." As he said that, he made a gesture to leave.

"Wait!" Shi Dami shouted hurriedly, "I am willing to cooperate with you."

Alexander smiled proudly.

Shi Dami continued: "I have to tell you that my identity is a court official. If you deceive me, the consequences will be very serious."

Alexander was stunned at first, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but soon returned to normalcy.

"Hmph, so what about the imperial court's official? Stop scaring me with this, I am a person who will do my best."

Shi Dami then said: "Now the king hates Xi Yu, the prime minister of the Central Plains, and is determined to make him fall. He even hopes that he can use the method of cursing. Can you do it?"

After hearing this, Alexander nodded and said, "However, this powerful curse technique requires a lot of my mana, and you have to pay a lot of money."

Shi Dami smiled confidently: "Money is not a problem for me, as long as things can be accomplished."

Alexander frowned slightly: "But there is another key. To cast a curse, you must understand the birth date and horoscope of the person involved. Do you know the birth date and horoscope of the Prime Minister Xi Yu?"

Shi Dami looked puzzled: "I don't know, but I can go and check it."

Alexander pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, I will believe you once. I hope you move faster and don't waste your time. This cooperation is only successful and not failure."

Shi Dami nodded repeatedly, and the two reached a cooperation intention.

On the other side, Xi Yu hurried back to the Prime Minister's Mansion. As soon as he entered the yard, his eyes fell on Song Shuwen and asked, "Has Dongfang Hong been here yet?"

Song Shuwen shook his head gently.
