The fat man's words made me squint slightly.

He meant that the guesthouse originally belonged to him, but it had been occupied by a fat woman before.

Now that the fat woman is dead, the guesthouse is back in his hands.

If that's the case, then the story becomes very convoluted.

"Alright, sir, let's not talk about these things for now. Let me take you to rest!"

The fat man seemed to like me a lot, so his attitude and tone of voice were quite nice.

After briefly mentioning it, she wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and was about to take me down to rest.

We booked two rooms; Lao Dao and I shared one, while the older woman stayed in her own room.

The older woman, on the other hand, said she wanted to talk to me alone.

"Wow, sir, you're really strong for your age! Are you sure you can handle this? I'll get you some good stuff to help you recover!"

Upon seeing this scene, the fat man gave a thumbs up, revealing a knowing look that only men could understand.

I didn't explain much. I guess the older woman wanted to live with me because she simply wanted to share her thoughts with me.

Don't let her calling him "older brother" fool you; she's actually quite shrewd!

I'm certain that the older woman wasn't telling me the truth; there must be something she was hiding from me.

"Then add extra nourishing ingredients to my braised chicken stew!"

I didn't deny it. Anyway, I came here to investigate, and getting closer to this fat man was one of my goals.

I want to know the real identity of this fat man.

After the fat man booked a room for the three of us, he told us to stay in the room and rest well, and said he would cook right away.

This scene was almost exactly the same as when the fat woman treated us when we first came here.

"Brother Chen, there's something fishy about this old guy!" Old Dao squinted at the fat man's back and commented in a low voice.

"Stop talking nonsense, of course I know there's a problem! Now we need to find Hua Hua's location!"

I rolled my eyes at Lao Dao. Why is this old guy talking so much nonsense today?

The most urgent task now is to find Hua Hua's location.

After I entered the room with the aunt, Lao Dao, and me, the bottle in my pocket suddenly started shaking violently.

I was a little surprised. Since I put the female ghost into the bottle yesterday, she hasn't had this kind of reaction. Could it be that she discovered something after contacting this fat man?

Without hesitation, I closed the door, opened the seal on the bottle, and the female ghost appeared.

You better be in trouble!

I drew my Thunderstrike Sword and threatened the female ghost.

Seeing my posture, the female ghost knelt down and kowtowed without saying a word.

"Master, spare me! It's like this, wasn't I previously plagued by resentment? Although I was bound by resentment, I still had a connection with it!"

The female ghost explained to me while kowtowing.

I was taken aback when I heard this: "You mean that the man just now had a similar resentment to what you had before?"

I quickly asked the female ghost.

Generally, if someone has this kind of reaction, it's either because they've had direct contact with him, or it's because they harbor resentment and have some connection to that man.

In short, whichever it is, it proves that the fat man from before was not normal, which is an important clue.

"I sensed a familiar scent from that man. It could be from my past resentment! Or it could be from contact with my original self!"

The female ghost's voice choked up a little as she spoke, and I cursed, "Stop pretending! You're acting like this, who are you trying to impress?"

The female ghost then became serious and quickly told me about her other discoveries.

What the female ghost said instantly piqued my interest.

In other words, there are two possibilities: either the fat man is connected to the resentment on the female ghost's body, or...

They either met Xu Feng's daughter directly or indirectly.

It seems I really need to get to know this fat man better; I want to get more valuable information out of him.

"Understood. You can go back now. I'll keep your matter in mind!"

After learning the information, I took out the bottle and put the female ghost back inside.

"You all understand now, right? This man is not as simple as he seems!"

I looked at the older woman and Old Dao, and they both nodded at the same time.

"Brother Chen, what should we do? Just tell me, point to me and I'll go wherever you want!"

Old Dao jumped to his feet and quickly pledged his loyalty.

"Auntie" means something similar.

"My sister and I will stay in the room for now. When that Xiao He comes over, I'll try to keep him calm. Lao Dao, take this opportunity to go and see if Hua Hua is here!"

I immediately came up with a solution.

In any case, we now need to determine if the condition of this guesthouse is any different from before.

"Okay! Then Brother Chen, you can stall for a little longer!"

After finishing his sentence, Lao Dao happily scurried back to his room.

After Lao Dao left, the old lady went to bed to rest, while I sat on the table in the room, seriously studying the book from yesterday.

Many of the spells in the book are quite profound, and there are also various insights left by the old lady and the old man.

Basically, all the spells I wanted to know are included, as well as some strange and unusual stories.

This should be my biggest gain in Haopo Village besides strengthening the lightning sword.

"Sister Leng did tell me before that her guesthouse was actually taken from someone else."

So, Sister Leng is referring to this person!

The older woman stretched and then began to tell me what had happened before.

Just as I thought, Fatty Sister had done a lot of bad things before, but she deliberately turned a blind eye to me, and even sacrificed her life for it.

Fatty is indeed a bad person, but from my perspective, she's been relatively kind to me.

After chatting for a bit, I started studying the book on my desk.

About half an hour later, the fat man brought us a steaming pot of braised rooster.

"Hehehehe! Chicken soup is here!"

After the fat man pushed open the door, he came in carrying a small rooster cooked in a clay pot, along with a bowl of steaming chicken soup.

It reminds me of a classic scene from a certain TV series.

"Please drink it while it's hot, both of you. I made this chicken soup especially for you!"

The fat man placed chicken soup and a young rooster on the table and invited me and the older woman to eat together.

"Especially the old man, he needs to take good care of his health! Even if he's old and strong, he still needs proper support, right?"

The fat man wore a forced smile.

"You killed that cold-hearted girl, didn't you!"

I suddenly drew my Thunderstrike Sword and aimed it at the fat man. No matter who he was, he was definitely not a good person, so I decided to bluff him!

Sure enough, the fat man knelt down on the ground with a thud after hearing this!
