Chapter 199

Guan Yan was very efficient. Before noon, he called Lan Xi back.

On the phone, he told Lan Xi, "Ao Shen said that he will arrange for a new person in charge to come here as soon as possible, but until the new person in charge is in place, I hope you can continue to help look after Haicheng for the time being."

"When will the new person in charge be in place?" Lan Xi asked.

She is not stupid. Cheng Yan originally used the excuse of asking her to take care of the baby temporarily, and dragged on for more than two months, but no one in charge showed up.

Is the current president of the Monastic Association deceiving me with the same excuse?

She can't be careless!

Fortunately, Guan Yan also thought of this when he asked the question.

He replied, "Ao Shen personally promised that it would take at most one month."

"Okay, then it's one month, but the basic salary for this month cannot be less." Lan Xi said.

The things the little girl mentioned were all small matters, and Guan Yan was still able to make the decision and agree to them.

"Don't worry, if the Monastic Association dares to withhold your salary, I will personally come to your door and ask for it back!"

Lan Xi felt relieved after hearing what Yan said.

After hanging up the phone, she opened the social software again and approved the request sent by Xiao Liu using his secondary account in the friend request list.

Looking at the newly added Xiao Liu's second account, after being accepted as a friend, he sent a message saying, "Miss Lan, why did you delete me?"

Lan Xi replied expressionlessly, "My hand slipped, it was an accident."

She learned this sentence on the Internet.

I heard that if you do something you shouldn't do, you can blame it on "slip of the hand".

This word is widely used on the Internet, so she just learned it and used it immediately.

Xiao Liu's trumpet: ...

But no matter what, he added Miss Lan again.

Xiao Liu has received a notice from his superiors that a new person in charge will be sent to their Haicheng Special Event Management Department in the near future.

Before this, Miss Lan was still their superior.

Xiao Liu didn't know why the person in charge who had been originally appointed suddenly changed.

But he had a vague feeling that this matter might be related to Miss Lan.

He even felt that Miss Lan seemed unwilling to be the superior of their department?

Xiao Liu has been in his position for many years and has seen countless people, but this is the first time he has seen someone pushing away his power!

Miss Lan's thoughts were truly different from those of an ordinary person, and he couldn't understand them at all...

…

When Lan Xi turned down the position of senior person in charge of the special events management department in Haicheng.

At the crowded Haicheng Bus Station, an elderly Taoist in a gray patched Taoist robe got off the bus from Yuncheng to Haicheng.

The Taoist looks kind-hearted, and his shabby clothes not only do not make people dislike him, but instead make people think that he is a person who has practiced hardship and is a master!

Along the way, people in the car came to talk to the Taoist priest and asked him to tell their fortunes.

However, the Taoist priest covered it up with the words "Heaven's secret cannot be revealed"!

After getting off the car and walking out of the bus station, Taoist Guanghong raised his hand lightly, and a faint ray of Yin energy at his fingertips deviated in one direction.

This yin energy seemed to be guiding him, helping him find the 'person' he was looking for.

A day ago, Taoist Guanghong followed the breath passed by his apprentice Ji Huai before his death, traveled through many cities, and finally found a high-end residential area near Yuncheng Hospital.

In a building in an upscale residential area, he found a trace of his apprentice's blood and energy left before his death.

In addition to blood and qi, there is also a lot of mixed faint yin energy.

Apparently, his apprentice encountered many ghosts before his death.

Those ghosts are most likely the cause of Ji Huai's death!

The ghost that was able to kill Ji Huai and the 'Blood Claw' evil spirit in Ji Huai's hand was definitely not an ordinary ghost.

Taoist Guanghong spent some time in the faint mixed Yin energy remaining in the corridor before he finally extracted a trace of Yin energy that was at least as good as the evil spirit, and different from the aura of his apprentice's evil spirit 'Blood Claw'!

He was certain that the owner of the evil spirit was the murderer who killed his apprentice!

And in the message that Ji Huai conveyed before his death, the existence of infinite golden light might also be related to the owner of the yin energy!

So he planned to use this ray of Yin energy to find the ghost to which it belonged.

After a day, Taoist Guanghong arrived in Haicheng and determined the location. The ghost he was looking for, whose strength was at least at the level of a demon spirit, was in Haicheng!

This is the second time that Taoist Guanghong has come to Haicheng in a month.

The last time he came to Haicheng, he met a little girl.

That little girl was the apprentice of his junior fellow apprentice, and had inherited the vast heritage accumulated by his master over thousands of years!

Fortunately, the girl had no ambitions and was content with being ordinary. She seemed unaware of what he had done when he betrayed his master.

Seeing that she had no intention of fighting him to the death, and that the background in the little girl's hands really made him wary, he did not continue to fight with the little girl!

Taoist Guanghong had actually been deliberately avoiding the place where the little girl was originally, and didn't want to set foot there easily again.

But unexpectedly, by coincidence, the ghost that killed his apprentice, and even the owner of the infinite golden light that followed the ghost, all came to Haicheng—

Whether or not to avenge his disciple's death is not a necessity for Taoist Guanghong.

But the existence of infinite golden light made it difficult for him to give it up.

He was also very interested in the ghost that had the power to kill his apprentice.

If caught, it will definitely be an excellent soul refining material!

By then, maybe he could even refine a ghost slave with even stronger strength!

So Taoist Guanghong didn't hesitate much and followed the direction of the Yin Qi and went there -

…

At this time in Haicheng, Lan family.

Lu Sichen brought some gifts and came to visit the Lan family today.

Lan Ziji and Lan Zimo are not here, but Lan Xingyu has been studying cultivation at home recently.

Seeing Lu Sichen coming, Lan Xingyu came out to entertain the guest.

Lan Xingyu was a little confused when he learned that Brother Lu came to see his sister and express his gratitude.

But he still said to Lu Sichen——

"My sister went out early this morning. She didn't say she wouldn't be home for lunch, so she'll probably be back soon."

Lu Sichen nodded, "Then wait."

The relationship between Lan Xingyu and Lu Sichen was not unfamiliar, and they were in the same circle, so time passed quickly as they sat together drinking tea and chatting.

By eleven o'clock, the two of them still hadn't waited for Lan Xi to come back.

Lan Xingyu asked Lu Sichen about his food preferences and asked the chef at home to start preparing lunch.

Lu Sichen was no stranger to the Lan family, so he was naturally invited to stay for lunch.

In the kitchen, the chef took a piece of fresh beef that was airlifted in today, cut it into pieces, and put it into a pot of cold water to blanch it.

But he found that even after the fire on the gas stove had been burning for a while, there was no bubbling in the pot of cold water.

Does water seem harder to boil today than usual?
