Chapter 23 The Man Behind the Scenes (2)

  Seeing these two sisters quarreling again, I just know being a man is really tough.

  After dinner, I sat on the sofa with them to watch TV. My "father-in-law" and I, two big men, accompanied three women to watch a romantic drama. I really wanted to cry, not because watching TV made me cry, but because accompanying them to watch this kind of thing was so sad...

  I saw my "father-in-law" was also helpless.

  Zhang Ting saw it and kept reminding me how the male lead was... Yu Xin is also like that... But I just can't figure out why my "mother-in-law" also loves watching it, does romantic drama have no age limit?

  One evening, I and my "father-in-law" were ordered around by them, which was also a defeat for us. After finally finishing watching, they all went back to their rooms to sleep... Zhang Ting still called me over... I looked at my "father-in-law" and didn't dare move.

  "Go back to sleep quickly, I want to chat with Zikawa for a while..." Zhang Ting heard her father's words and didn't dare say anything, stuck out her tongue at me and went back to her room.

  "Zi Jiang... I suddenly don't mind you and Zhang Ting being together. But..." I was quite happy when I heard the first part, but my throat dried up when I heard the second part...

  "But I also know you're not an ordinary person, and there's a saying that goes 'with great power comes great responsibility'...I don't know what the future holds for you, but as your father, I don't want my daughter to face any dangers with you...do you understand?"

  When I heard the word "father-in-law", my heart cooled down a bit. Yes, originally I might have walked on the normal path of life, but... slowly began to face many things that I couldn't understand. Would Zhang Ting really be happy with me? I once asked my master, if I followed you as a disciple, could you protect her well? He said he could protect the whole world, but I only wanted to protect her, but can I really do it?

  But now I feel like I haven't protected her well, and instead, every time something happens, it's always because of me...

  I was disheartened, but then I heard my father-in-law say: "However... after spending the past few days with you, I feel that you're also a responsible person. Although what you're facing is different from me, I hope that if I entrust my daughter to you, you'll be able to protect her well; if not, then please let her go."

  I don't know why, but even though I heard "father-in-law" say something half joking and half serious, I still feel a bit down. I'm thinking, can I really protect her well?

  "Uh... Uncle, I will, even if something happens to me, I won't let anything happen to Zhang Ting."

  "Uh-huh, I believe you...Alright, it's getting late, go to bed early."

  Back to bed, couldn't sleep for a long time... kept thinking of what "father-in-law" said to me: If you can't protect her, then let her go...

  I'll stake my life on it! No matter what happens in the future, I won't let her get hurt!

  The next day, I woke up very early... went to the balcony of the room and smoked a cigarette... I didn't dare smoke at their house, thinking about it, I've been staying at their house for 2 days. Three days without going home, should also report safety to parents...

  My parents heard me say I was at their daughter-in-law's house and told me to stay for a couple more days... I'm so depressed.

  "Zi Jiang, sleep well tonight." The one asking me was "Father-in-law", Zhang Ting also looked surprised, she didn't think her rigid father would be so good to me...

  "Hmm...it's quite comfortable."

  "Zi Chuan, tonight our company is going to start working, we've taken over someone else's business, if we don't finish on time it will be very troublesome..." My "father-in-law" said this to me during dinner, I also felt a bit worried, because that person had told me not to interfere with their affairs, and he also knew my whereabouts, so he was even more clear about the company's affairs, which means that tonight that person would take action.

  "Uh... okay, I'll go tonight too." It's clear that "father-in-law" said this to get me to go together with him, because he's afraid something will happen.

  "By the way, Dad, how's the company been lately? I see you've been resting at home for several days." Zhang Ting chimed in with this sentence, they didn't know anything about what was going on at the company, only knowing which celebrity was spotted where and which street to stroll down.

  "It's okay, just been feeling really tired lately, gave the employees a break, but have to work overtime again tonight."

  Spent a day at home resting because I felt like there would be a big battle tonight, so I'd better rest my body well. Zhang Ting and the others went shopping again...

  "Zi Chuan, you said ghosts will come again tonight?"

  "I'm not sure, probably will." I didn't mention to "father-in-law" that I had an appointment with that person.

  "Good luck with your hard work tonight..." My father-in-law said to me with a hint of guilt.

  "It's okay, I'll take care of it."

  It was after 9 pm when I arrived at the company with my "father-in-law". When the elevator stopped on the 4th floor, I asked him to go up first and walked around the 4th floor alone. As I said before, the 4th floor is very dark and quiet. Walking alone inside, I felt a bit scared, but what I feared most was that something would suddenly jump out and scare me...

  Nothing came of it... I'm even more curious about that person now, and wonder what he'll get up to tonight?

  I went up to the seventh floor and directly went to the office, as a result I met Lü Shuang again.

  "How did you come again?" I saw Lü Shuang was quite surprised when she saw me.

  "I've come to find someone." I said to her, pointing at my "father-in-law".

  "Oh, you know my boss?"

  "Hmm... how should I put it, we're basically relatives..." Haha, can't call my father-in-law anything but a relative.

  "Want to come in and sit down?" I smiled at Lv Xiang, but she looked quite afraid of me, her "father-in-law".

  "No way, no way, if I go in, he'll scold me, so I'd better just go to work."

  I saw her return to her position, so I also walked in and saw the master busy typing on the keyboard. I didn't dare disturb him, so I sat down on the stool and almost fell asleep. When I looked at the time, it was already past 3 o'clock. Wasn't there anything going on tonight?

  I walked out... to get some fresh air, and found Lü Shuang sleeping on the table. I went over there originally wanting to scare her, but thought better of it... seeing how diligent she was, let her rest well. I stood by the window, smoking a cigarette.

  Looking at those who are working hard, will I be like them a year later, struggling to make a living?

  After smoking a cigarette and taking a stroll around, I actually bumped into...

  As I was walking towards the elevator, I heard the door open. I was curious about how the elevator door could have opened by itself, so I walked over to investigate. At first, I didn't see anything, but then suddenly a head of hair fell from above and a person's head appeared in front of me... This was too sudden and it really scared me back two steps. Looking at this ghost, I felt like I had seen it before... Isn't that Little Tang who was lying in the funeral home? How did he come to cause trouble again? This time he really is a ghost!

  This can't be seen by them, if they see it, won't they be scared to death? I was afraid and returned, but after calming down, I jumped into the elevator and closed the door. They were also startled by the noise, but didn't know what happened.

  In the elevator, I felt something was wrong. One person and one ghost were in an elevator together... I saw Little Tang hanging from the top of the elevator, and after seeing me come in, he slowly floated down, facing me with a smile... How terrifying!

  I was just about to take action and get rid of it... As a result, the elevator stopped, the door opened, and Xiao Tang ran out... I took a look and found that I was still on the 4th floor... Indeed, I was still on the 4th floor...

  I chased him out... because I felt that he deliberately led me here. He's on the 4th floor!

  As expected, he was standing by the window, also with his back to me. I don't know why, but now seeing others with their backs to me makes me very uncomfortable!

  "Aren't you afraid of death?" The man said with his back to me.

  "I'm afraid, but I'm not afraid of you." Momentum cannot be lost.

  "How much money did he give you? You're helping him like this?"

  "Well, I'll ask you, how much money did others give you? I'll double it." I used the words he taught me to retort back at him, and indeed, he got angry with me.

  "Haha, okay, then go die." I just saw him finish speaking. Xiao Tang suddenly flew over to me and directly flew over to grab my neck! Without even a warning, he started fighting with me...

  "Present! Metal, wood, water, fire, earth, three births and five elements, shape the golden sword... slay the evil spirits!" I managed to execute the Golden Sword Technique with difficulty, a golden sword chopped forward... directly cutting Little Tang back. Indeed, it's quite impressive that he was unscathed after being struck by my Golden Sword Technique.

  "Hmm... you still know the Nine-Character True Words... Old Man Ge San isn't around either, when did he take on an apprentice?" The man said to me, and upon hearing him mention my master, it seemed like he knew where my master had gone!

  "Do you know where my master is?"

  "Huh, you know, don't you? Do you want to know?"

  "Hmm..."

  "Want to know? First beat me then talk. Let the vengeful spirits of Shi Ling and the people of Jiu Zi Men compare."

  It's Shiling Time! Is Xiao Tang Shiling? I get it now, the needle on his head! It was used by him to release souls and then he cultivated them! What a ruthless person...

  "Why do you want to kill Xiao Tang?"

  "You know so much, what's the point... Alright, if you don't die, I'll tell you." This person gives me a very cold and arrogant feeling, you're too overbearing....

  Just then, I saw Little Tang rushing towards me again. The Ten Spirits were born in a yin year, yin month, yin day, and yin hour, so they had plenty of yin energy from the moment they came into this world. Not to mention that after death, they were cultivated into fierce ghosts... This yin energy was not something I could withstand at present...

  I saw it coming with a gust of dark wind around me, and the dark wind cut me with pain.

  "Soldiers! Advance! Clouds and fog arise! Those who fight in front of the army are all arrayed before us!" This was no joke, it was a fierce collision! In the midst of chaos, I used the "Bing" character technique to dodge it!

  My strongest move now is just the Fire Seal... and it's not even a very powerful one at that... whatever, I guess this is all I can do...

  "Present! Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Three Lives Five Elements, Depart from Fire and be reborn! Depart from Fire... Ignite!"

  My forehead started burning again... the burning was very intense! I struggled to cast the Fire Repulsion Spell, and then I saw that my forehead actually emitted light!
