Chapter Twenty-Two: Parting Ways

  The four-person gang of ghosts suddenly appeared and solved the problem, then suddenly disappeared. What was left to the ghosts was a long silence and silent contemplation.

  After a while, the ghost got up first and directly pulled the two people sitting on the ground up. Looking at the pale faces of the two, he whispered: "How can your physical strength be worse than mine?" Seeing that the two were standing firmly, he turned around and walked into the courtyard.

  Chang Qingzi saw this and also turned around to follow the ghost into the courtyard.

  Yin Huan Yue looked at the two of them, gritting her teeth in anger. Even someone as cold and heartless as herself would be driven mad by these two. Now that they were leaving, it was clear that they were dumping the responsibility on her.

  "Qinghe." Yin Huan Yue softly called out. The blood-red barrier instantly disappeared. Qinghe's figure also appeared along with it.

  Mugyu didn't even glance left or right, and simply walked past Yin Huan Yue into the courtyard.

  "Master? How are you?" Liu Qi hastily asked, seemingly still not fully recovered, his face had already turned somewhat pale as he rushed over.

  "It's over, we've completed our mission." Yin Huan Yue said calmly, but her face was still somewhat cold.

  "You say it's done, but where's the proof?" Liu Shi said with a cold smile.

  "Are you an idiot?!" Yin Huan Yue said.

  "What do you mean!" Liu Shi suddenly became furious.

  "Third Brother!" Liu Qi rebuked, "Master, Third Brother is young and a bit rash, please forgive him."

  "Don't mention the soul, you can't see it now, the soul has already disappeared, how can I give you evidence!" Yin Huan Yue said, "However, he did say some things, I don't know if everyone is interested in listening." Yin Huan Yue suddenly said, with a slight hook at the corner of his mouth, as if there was really something.

  Everyone's curiosity was immediately piqued. Why did the headless ghost appear in Liujiabao? Was it really the resentment of the former castle owner that couldn't be dissipated?

  "Haha, Master is really good at joking. A headless person, how can he tell you things?" Liu Qi smiled and said, "Tonight, Masters have worked hard, please rest early, tomorrow morning, we will prepare the entrusted gold in full."

  Yin Huan Yue smiled and didn't say a word, turning around to leave with Qing He.

  When no one was paying attention, Liu Qi and Liu Shi exchanged a glance. Zhao Yanran supported Liu Qi back to rest, while Liu Shi enthusiastically greeted the crowd.

  "Master?" Qinghe asked cautiously.

  "What's wrong?" asked Yin Huan Yue.

  "Is the mastermind Second Young Master of the Liu family?"

  "Who knows?" Yin Huan Yue replied with a good mood.

  The next day.

  The three ghosts seemed to have discussed it beforehand, and they left with the entrusted money early in the morning. After leaving the gate of Liu's mansion, the three of them went their separate ways like strangers.

  At this time, a ghostly figure at the entrance of Liu's mansion saw the three ghosts leave and immediately slipped into the gate of Liu's mansion.

  "Speak," said Liu Shi calmly, a stark contrast to the person who had been quick to take offense just two days prior.

  The little man observed them for a long time and found that the three of them seemed to have only come together because of the commission, without mentioning the ghost corpse at all. They parted ways early in the morning, not even exchanging basic greetings.

  "Get out of here." Liu Qi said to the man.

  "Yes."

  "Second Brother? Look! Should we?" Liu Shi asked.

  "No need, these people should be completely unconcerned about such mundane matters. Besides, they can't even tell that we've outsmarted them. I'm a seriously injured person, and you're a roughneck..."

  "Second Brother is right," said Liu Shi with a smile. "Our days have finally come to an end."

  "Yes, if it weren't for this conclusive evidence, I'd be worried that Madam's family would give her a hard time."

  "With so many people from the martial arts world present, and with all the evidence we need, I'm sure they won't be able to stir up any trouble. When the time is ripe, we can..." Liu Shi said.

  Liu Qi smiled faintly and picked up his tea cup to take a light sip.

  "Master? Is it alright for us to follow Miss Ghost like this?" Muyou spoke up.

  "Have a good journey." Chang Qingzi replied with a smile.

  "It's been a while since it's been calm." Muyao said, and this ghost girl didn't even notice at all. It seems that apart from catching ghosts, this ghost girl is really dull when it comes to other things.

  "A girl is going home, and as former partners, of course we should escort her back home." Chang Qingzi said matter-of-factly.

  "Never mind, young master, you must be bored again and plotting something!" Muyao said with certainty. "Then why do you always cling to Miss Ghost so tightly? Isn't another one coming?"

  "He doesn't need me to design it, he'll follow along by himself." Chang Qingzi's words had a hint of meaning as she glanced back.

  How did this ghost girl provoke those two pests? Mu Ya thought sympathetically.

  Fortunately, this sympathetic remark did not reach the ears of Guiyan and Guisheng, otherwise they would have puffed out their chests and shouted loudly: "No way, that's a demon, a demon!"

  "Master, Miss Ghost seems to have arrived," said Mugen.

  "Oh." Chang Qingzi mentioned the curtains and took a glance outside. Tsk, tsk, unexpectedly there were still two ghosts being kept. The formation inside was actually set up quite well. Hmm, no, it seemed like a simple formation, but it was layered with another one, and the changes were endless! At this moment, Chang Qingzi's expression finally began to turn serious, no longer as carefree as before. Who exactly was that ghostly eye?!

  If the ghost at this time could hear what was in Chang Qingzi's heart, he would be extremely surprised. Because Chang Qingzi had always been someone who needed to open his eyes to see ghosts and evil spirits, because he wasn't like Yin Huan Yue, who was born with a natural talent. Nor was he like the ghost, who was born with the wheel of reincarnation in his eyes. So what exactly was Chang Qingzi's identity?

  "Master? Are you coming with me?" Qinghe asked respectfully.

  "Keep up." Yin Huan Yue said faintly.

  "Yes."

  ……

  "Moku." Zhang Qingzi suddenly cried out.

  "In the village, find a place where we can stay permanently." Chang Qingzi said suddenly.

  "What?! Young master, you're not joking, are you?!" Mu Ya hastily asked.

  "There isn't," said Zhang Qingzi.

  "Master, why are you still chasing after her all the way to her doorstep, trying to calculate Miss Guiying's moves?" Mu Ya said helplessly.

  "Fellow travelers should get along well and maintain a good relationship!" Chang Qingzi said with a red face but a calm heart.

  "Your Highness..."

  "And soon I will have a neighbor." Chang Qingzi said with profound meaning.

  "Neighbour?"

  ……

  "Xiao Qing, you have a tail behind you. And there are two of them." Luo Xi said with a faint smile.

  "Shall I go and scare them?" Luo Rang said.

  "Never mind, let them be, as long as they don't provoke me," said the ghost, and took a step forward.

  "Alas, I forgot that this is a demon. Don't look at how it usually doesn't put anything in its heart, but if it's really provoked, then...” Luo Ran hadn't finished speaking when he suddenly shivered with cold."

  "It's too terrifying." Luo Xi finished speaking with a smile.
