Xie Bian checked Chu Yuyan's injuries and said, "It's nothing serious. He'll be fine after two days of rest and recovery."

Bai Ningning was worried: "But he smells like charcoal..."

Chu Yuyan frowned: "Isn't your description quite right?"

The burnt smell is fine, but the burnt aroma???

You thought it was barbecue?

Chu Ze pushed Bai Ningning away and said to Chu Yuyan, "Go back and take your medicinal bath. Wangchuan will be fine today."

He pushed Bai Ningning towards the Hades Palace and explained to her in a low voice, "He's connected to Wangchuan. If you shock Wangchuan directly, he'll also be hurt."

Bai Ningning glanced back and found that Chu Yuyan had not left yet. He just smiled and waved at her, watching her leave.

It was as if he was comforting her: I'm fine, don't worry, and don't take this little episode to heart.

Bai Ningning saluted to show her apology, and then asked Chu Ze: "Why did you have to push me away?"

Chu Ze smiled helplessly: "If you don't leave, he won't leave either. He has to go back to take a medicinal bath, otherwise he will have sequelae that will be bad."

Bai Ningning was pushed forward by Chu Ze, still thinking about the improvement plan in her mind: "If the resentment is extracted from him, will he be hurt?"

Chu Ze: "If you can separate the resentment and the ghost energy, he won't feel anything."

"This is really a big trouble." Bai Ningning let out a breath, feeling that things were becoming tricky.

This was a helpless method in the period when there was no King of Hell in the underworld, which allowed Chu Yuyan to connect with Wangchuan. There were all kinds of evil ghosts and resentful souls here, and the ghost energy and resentment had long been mixed together and could not be distinguished from each other.

Cheng Xiu found that everyone was happy when they went out, but looked sad when they came back, but they could not help.

What's more, these are confidential matters of the underworld and they are not allowed to ask about them.

Just as she lowered her head in frustration, she heard Cheng Yun ask, "Is it not going well?"

Chu Ze bent his fingers and gently pinched Bai Ningning's face with the knuckles of his index and middle fingers. He whispered in her ear, "Don't show your emotions on your face. You are the Lord of the Underworld. If you feel confused and uneasy, your subordinates and residents will also feel uneasy."

Although what he said makes sense, can you pinch the little King of Hell's face?

Bai Ningning took revenge on the spot and gave him an elbow strike immediately, then put on a smiling face towards Cheng Yun: "There's no problem with the circuit, it's something else."

Cheng Yun nodded when he heard this, and felt relieved when he realized that she recognized his professional ability.

When she turned around again, she saw her younger sister staring at her with admiration - her elder sister was usually quiet and taciturn, but she would speak loud and clear at the critical moment. She really deserved to be her elder sister!

Cheng Yun: “……?”

Chu Ze covered his stomach and hunched over uncomfortably: "There's no need to be so cruel..."

Bai Ningning instantly became nervous and asked with concern: "Are you okay? Are there any professional doctors in the underworld?"

"Hahaha! I was kidding!" Chu Ze instantly stood up straight and laughed out loud, ruffling her hair. "I'm very strong."

Bai Ningning was so angry that she punched him again.

"It hurts, it hurts..."

Chu Ze staggered to the table and sat down, lying on the table, unable to recover.

Bai Ningning would not fall for the same trick twice, so she went to make tea for Cheng Yun and the others indifferently, fulfilling her previous promise.

She also instructed the ghost messengers: "Remember to call me when Yuan Muyang wakes up. Don't run around during this time. Follow our plan."

"good--"

Bai Ningning cooked more this time and gave a cup to everyone present. She also asked Cheng Xiu to send one to Jiang Miao.

Bai Ningning stretched, opened the door to the underworld and prepared to return to the human world, saying, "I'm going back to sleep. Everyone, work hard."

[The King of Hell sends tea with bad intentions]

[Before going to bed, I personally brewed a refreshing drink for my employees, and then everyone worked overtime with gratitude, while I went to sleep peacefully. What a dirty little devil (dog head)]

The comments were full of "rebukes", but the employees of the underworld did not mean that.

After watching Bai Ningning leave, everyone returned to their jobs and even started competing with each other.

Xie Bian was the first to go out: "I will select a few ghost messengers to go with me to screen people. I must let her see the results when the little King of Hell comes again."

"Wait a minute!" Fan Wujiu ran after him, "There are a few on my list of training instructors, don't try to steal them from me!"

Xie Bian accelerated calmly.

After a while, an indifferent "first come, first served" came from the wind.

Fan Wujiu blew up a gust of wind, and the residents of District 1 looked at the two gusts of wind, one white and one black, passing by, feeling a little confused.

Cheng Xiu sat beside the medicine stove, holding a cup of tea, with a happy blush on her face: "After I finish drinking, I will fold some more paper figures. Ningning seems to be very good at using them, so I need to prepare more."

Ma Juan quietly took away the empty cups on the table, washed them, and took on the housework of Yama Palace without saying a word.

Cheng Yun continued to write the plan for the paperless work in the underworld, wondering whether to add an entry and exit check-in point in each district and what to use as an identity recognition mark?

Only Chu Ze was still lying on the table, holding the teacup in front of him tightly. He used the flow of spiritual energy to create the illusion of two lines of tears, crying convincingly: "I'm old... useless... Why am I the only one without a job? Does she look down on me..."

After waiting for a long time, no employee came to comfort him, so he shouted even louder: "Sure enough, I'm an unpopular old man... No one cares about me at all!"

Cheng Xiu hid her face and smiled secretly, and whispered to her mother: "Are you really ignoring Mr. Chu? It's so pitiful."

Ma Juan took away her empty cup, said "hmm" coldly, and tidied up the Yama Palace in order.

"Wait—" Cheng Xiu stretched out her hand but found nothing. When she spoke again, the cup had already been washed by her mother. She wanted to cry but had no tears. "I originally wanted to keep the cup as a souvenir..."

After Ma Juan finished packing, she walked to the opposite side of Chu Ze.

Chu Ze thought someone had finally given up and was coming to comfort him, but the next second he heard the other person say, "If you don't drink it, do you have to wash the cup?"

Chu Ze: "...No, thank you."

Chu Ze was even more depressed, completely unaware that Bai Ningning had stuck a note on his back.

It had the words "Ignore Him" ​​written on it in large letters, followed by three bold exclamation marks.

[Public Service Announcement: Please Care for Empty-Nester Elderly People]

Don't let love become waiting

Chu Ze pretended for a while, but felt it was boring, so he finished his tea in silence and set off to help the ghost catcher train - even if he was just a sparring partner, as long as he could help.

He really needed to stretch his muscles and do something to distract himself.

The boredom he showed was three parts real and seven parts fake. It was a good thing that the development of the underworld was on the agenda, but he suddenly had nothing to do and could not help, which made him feel a little depressed and uncomfortable.

Before Chu Ze left, Cheng Yun passed by him, calmly tore off the message paper behind him, and hid it under the information in his hand.

Chu Ze only noticed that she was holding documents in her hand, and thought that he was brushed by the documents in her hand. He didn't take it seriously and didn't notice the label from beginning to end.

[Shocking! A sixty-year-old man ran away from home for something like this—]

【Welcome to watch the documentary: Yan Wang's retirement life】

[Mr. Chu, you're either fighting or looking for a fight.]

"I want to become stronger! I want to be the personal bodyguard of the Little King of Hell!"

As soon as Chu Ze arrived at the training ground in Area 4, he heard someone shout this.

"You can't, I'm more suitable!"

"I'll do it!"

Chu Ze snorted, thinking that these people were really ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth. Such a malicious remark could actually attract so many responses.

He deliberately increased the volume of his footsteps to create more noise, and scanned the group of ghost officials with sharp eyes: "I really want to hear something incredible."

"Mr. Chu!"

Fan Wujiu's first reaction when he saw Chu Ze was to go around behind him to see if there was a label.

"Oh, it's torn off?"

"What?" Chu Ze quickly realized what was going on. "Someone posted a note for me before? Was it Ningning? I knew this little girl holds a grudge!"

Fan Wujiu realized that he had inadvertently betrayed his teammates. He took a few steps back to distance himself and shook his head repeatedly, then abruptly changed the subject: "Come to visit?"

Chu Ze gave a sinister smile and clenched his fists together. "No, come and be my sparring partner. We always have to find problems in actual combat exercises, right?"

Fan Wujiu: “…”

A group of ghost messengers: "..."

Chu Ze stood in the middle of the field: "Who goes first?"

The ghost officials looked at the eerie aura behind him and shook their heads.

If there was anyone present who could beat Chu Ze in hand-to-hand combat, the acting King of Hell would have been replaced long ago.

Chu Ze called out, "Where's that guy who just boasted about being the King of Hell's bodyguard? Come out and fight him."

Ten minutes later, Chu Ze looked at his defeated men lying on the ground and shook his head, "This won't do. I need to practice more."

Fan Wujiu was embarrassed: "Why don't you go to the back areas to have a look?"

Feeling bored, Chu Ze sat dejectedly to the side, a piece of red velvet grass between his lips, and said, "Many ghosts escaped after the gate to the underworld opened. After she released the energy field, the remaining slightly stronger ghosts all hid. Some of them need to be left for you to practice in actual combat... Oh, how boring."

Fan Wujiu pushed him away with a twitching mouth, shifting the blame elsewhere: "Go check on Xiaobai, he might be short of people."

The force of this blow was too cruel, and it was somewhat personal.

【Father's love is like a mountain】

[Who just said he was in his sixties?! Isn't he quite capable of fighting?]

[Ask: "Chu Ze is old, can he still eat?" Chu Ze: "Yes! Come and eat!"]

“…”

So energetic.

Bai Ningning was forced to accept the text broadcast and fell asleep peacefully during the broadcast.

The next morning, Bai Ningning woke up naturally at eight o'clock. She opened the curtains sleepily and let herself bathe in the sunlight.

She felt a contradiction between her body and mind. Her body had gotten enough sleep, but her mind was still very tired.

Every time I come back from the underworld, I feel exhausted and weak all over. This time, the exhaustion is particularly obvious, as if I have stayed up for three nights and am in a trance.

I don’t know how Chu Ze has been living these years.

Is he really sixty? Whether it's his physical condition or his spiritual appearance, he looks like he's in his thirties or forties.

Bai Ningning's mind was empty, she ate breakfast mechanically, and contacted Chu Yuyan to express her intention to visit.

Chu Yuyan had anticipated this and responded with a smile, "I just happened to have something to tell you. I'm not very mobile, so I'm sorry to bother you coming over."

"Well," Bai Ningning was still thinking about the accidental electric shock she had given him, "did it cause any harm to your body?"

"It's okay, just a small problem."

After meeting, Bai Ningning was relieved to see that his expression was the same as usual, and briefly explained the underworld's power generation plan to him.

After listening to this, Chu Yuyan pondered for a few seconds and said, "That's a good idea. You can try to use the formation to separate the ghost energy and the resentment."

Bai Ningning: "I thought about it, but Xiaobai also looked up information and said he couldn't find any relevant records."

Formations are considered tools of the mortal world, and ghost messengers do not need them.

The ghost messenger naturally has the ability to lead the way, exorcise evil spirits, kill evil spirits and deal with resentment, and does not need the help of any props.

——Or, in other words, it is an ability generated by the spiritual power of the King of Hell.

Every ghost messenger is using the spiritual power of the King of Hell invisibly.

So they don't need the props that mortals use to exorcise ghosts.

The most commonly used tools are the soul-calling rope, the soul-summoning banner, and some talisman paper. Formations are really beyond their capabilities.

But it is different for fragile humans. Even psychics can only exert limited spiritual power and can only rely on formations to enhance their magic power, which is mostly used to exorcise ghosts, trap ghosts, or eliminate resentment.

It is too useless for them to separate ghost energy and resentment, and no one will study this at all.

Chu Xisen brought juice and snacks. He seemed to be in a good mood and sat on the sofa next to Chu Yuyan's wheelchair with a smile.

Bai Ningning: "...Why are you here?"

This big star looks so idle, as if he has nothing to do all day.

Chu Xisen laughed and snorted twice, then said, "What's so strange about me living in my second brother's house?"

Bai Ningning: “…”

Oh, I almost forgot they are brothers.

It's really because this family has a weak sense of family affection, and it's not her fault.

Chu Ze often forgets that he has a son, and Chu Xisen never mentions his family in public, and if asked, he will just call them orphans.

She was so used to seeing the "loving father and filial son" that needed quotation marks, that when she suddenly saw the normal brothers being friendly and respectful to each other, she actually felt something was wrong.

I don’t know who should reflect on this.

Chu Yuyan explained: "What was mentioned on the phone was actually what he said."

Bai Ningning: "What's the matter?"

Chu Yuyan picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said, "After you participated in the program, coupled with this Xuanmen regular meeting, many Xuanmen people noticed you."

Bai Ningning listened quietly, staring at his hands, observing if there was anything unusual.

Chu Yuyan: "So someone asked him to pass on a message, asking you to help tell their fortune. Most likely, it was a deliberate test."

"who?"

"There are quite a few invitations, and I've already turned down most of them for you. It's not the right time yet." He said lightly, not intending to tell Bai Ningning which ones he had rejected. "But there's one I suggest you meet."

The teacup was steaming hot, scalding his fingertips red.

He put down his teacup, motioned Chu Xisen to take out the information, and said, "The Yun family was once a glorious family, but later it suddenly fell silent, a state of aloofness from the world, never taking the initiative or showing up. This sudden letter may be to see if you can be trusted."

Chu Yuyan seemed to know what she was asking for, and said intentionally or unintentionally: "By the way, their family is very good at formations."

Bai Ningning had some impression of the Yun family. She had heard people mention it when she was in Qingwei Mountain, but everyone seemed to have a mediocre impression of it. Its formation was slightly stronger but not outstanding.

Like a small, marginalized family in the Xuanmen sect.

If it was really nothing special, why would Chu Yuyan specifically mention it?

Chu Yuyan added, "I heard they had some contact with my mother before, but after she passed away, they moved to the mountains. It's hard to say if there's any connection."

Bai Ningning looked at his fingertips again, and the place that had just been burned red had returned to normal.

The heavy stone in her heart was finally put down. It seemed that the electric shock yesterday did not affect his body - at least it was much better than Chu Ze's body.

Bai Ningning thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'm free in the next few days, let's arrange a suitable time to meet."

Chu Xisen suddenly became excited: "Great! Can I come along?"

"You can't." Chu Yuyan pressed him down, and his state was much more relaxed than before. "If you decide to go, I will accompany you to visit."

[The big fox and the stupid husky set a trap to kidnap the little fox (fog)]

[We are all family, how can our IQ be so unevenly distributed? ]

[Is Sen Sen handsome? He traded his IQ for it (dog head)]

Bai Ningning: “…”

I didn't feel that way at first, but now I suddenly have the illusion that I've fallen into a trap.

But forget it, no matter whether it is a trap or not, if the other party is good at designing formations, she will meet him anyway.

Chu Yuyan tapped her stupid brother and explained to her, "Don't get me wrong, I don't mean to deceive you. We just want to investigate the specific cause of Mom's death, but the Yun family has clearly stated that they refuse to receive any visitors since then. This is a rare opportunity."

He narrowed his eyes and smiled, his expression carrying a hint of helplessness and pleading. He spoke softly, "Let's write off the previous incident of electrocuting me. Even if you accidentally electrocute me during future experiments, I won't mind. How about that?"

As if afraid that she would regret it.

Bai Ningning: “…”

How deeply rooted is his cold and indifferent image in people's hearts?

"Okay." She lowered her eyes to look at the information and replied vaguely, "I shouldn't shock you in the future."

Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that Chu Yuyan breathed a sigh of relief.

Chu Xisen was completely oblivious to this and continued to complain to his brother, "You're so cunning! Why did you go alone without me? Are you trying to secretly create an opportunity to be alone? How could someone be so sinister and cunning? Is this the legendary saying that officials are allowed to set fires while the people are not allowed to light lamps?"

Chu Yuyan looked at him with a smile, his tone calm: "Yes."

Chu Xisen suddenly became even angrier. His vocabulary was limited to begin with, and he even used "运算卫繄" as an insult along with "刚鄎自宜" to curse.

Chu Yuyan seemed to enjoy making his brother angry.

Regardless of whether Chu Xisen was right or wrong, they all responded to his scolding, making Chu Xisen feel as if his punches were hitting cotton. The more he scolded, the angrier he became, baring his teeth but without any lethality.

How can you misuse idioms and two-part allegorical sayings? "Yunchouweiwo" is a compliment, you idiot Third Brother!

But it's really fun to make idiots angry.

【Brotherly Friendship and Respect】

Bai Ningning: “…”

When Bai Ningning saw these familiar words and spaces, she suddenly felt a sense of familiarity.

That’s right, this is the style that the Chu family should have.
