Chapter 310

…

The Ghost Lord has lived for so many years that he would naturally not be fooled by such a small trick. He just smiled faintly and looked at Cheng Hui and Lin Qingyang with a scrutinizing gaze.

When his eyes met Lin Qingyang, there was no surprise, but instead obvious hostility.

Cheng Hui: ???

No, how can you be hostile towards such a beautiful face?

Oh, sorry, I forgot. Lin Qingyang might still be playing the role of a suspected love rival. That's fine...

Cheng Hui fell into deep thought. It was strange, why did he feel that the entire cultivation world would be obsessed with Lin Qingyang's face?

If Lin Qingyang himself felt this way, he could still call him narcissistic, but he felt this way... Who on earth instilled this concept in him?

This person must be sick!

In this world of both men and women, how is it possible that I always encounter men who covet men's beauty!!!

"Lingruo, won't you introduce yourself?" The Ghost Lord said politely.

Ou Lingruo said with a straight face: "These two fellow Taoists are companions I met on my journey of training in the past."

The ghost master looked at her for a whole day, then suddenly smiled. "It's not nice to let friends come to visit and leave like that. Why don't you let me entertain them for you?"

This "I'm representing you as your husband" attitude really disgusted Ou Lingruo. She was filled with anger, but she didn't dare to confront him directly. She could only say stiffly, "No need. They're leaving soon."

"Leave?" The Ghost Lord glanced at the two of them and said calmly, "That's not good, right? If your friend Lingruo comes and we don't even treat him to a meal, it will make people think we're not welcoming enough."

Ou Lingruo frowned at him, and the Ghost Lord smiled back. The two stared at each other for a long time. Finally, Ou Lingruo turned away and said coldly, "If you want to treat me, then go ahead."

The ghost master's smile widened. "What's the use of Ou Lingruo being so stubborn? He still had to give in." A woman's job was to stay home, dressed up beautifully. As long as she served him well, anything that slipped through his fingers would be enough for her.

Ou Lingruo folded his arms with a cold expression.

The ghost lord's gaze on her was like a sticky tongue, making her feel nauseous, but she could only endure it.

"Brother-in-law!" Ou Lingyun was unwilling to be ignored, so she hugged the Ghost Lord's arm and acted coquettishly.

The Ghost Lord was very satisfied with Ou Lingruo's performance just now, and was willing to give her some respect. After all, this woman's Xuanyin body, as long as it was used properly, would be much more useful than those disposable Yuanyin.

He looked down at Ou Lingyun, who was pretending to be cute, and said coldly, "Let go."

This silly little girl is quite cute as a plaything, but she is not good enough in front of Ou Lingruo.

Ou Lingyun reluctantly let go of her hand. She knew that the Ghost Lord would not tolerate disobedience. If she didn't let go, the other party would definitely make her lose face.

She glared at Ou Lingruo hatefully. If it weren't for her, she would be the one being treated so gently by the Ghost Lord!

Why does Ou Lingruo deserve all the good things?

Her eyes were involuntarily attracted to Lin Qingyang again. She hated Ou Lingruo, this bitch. She already had a ghost master, but she was still flirting with other men outside. She was not a good wife at all!

Ou Lingruo didn't bother to pay attention to her. She had long been accustomed to this kind of resentful and hateful look. If she didn't get glared at for a day, she would get used to it.

The Ghost Lord did a good job of saving face. He said he wanted to treat Cheng Hui and the others to dinner, and actually booked a table at the best restaurant in the city.

As a Nascent Soul cultivator, inviting two Golden Core cultivators to dinner was definitely a face-giving to his wife from the perspective of others. However, only a few people who experienced this personally knew that this meal was a naked Hongmen Banquet.

For Cheng Hui, this meal was extremely painful.

The hotel's chef has good cooking skills and the dishes are delicious. However, the people at the table are not the right ones. Facing the ghost master who has a fake smile on his face and keeps trying to find out their details in different ways, Cheng Hui finds it difficult to convince himself to concentrate on enjoying the food.

Fortunately, no matter how difficult it is, it will end eventually. Looking at the table full of dishes without taking a single bite, Cheng Hui's expression revealed his inner regret.

"Don't worry, I've already asked the chef. I'll make it for you when we get back." Lin Qingyang leaned over and said in his ear.

Cheng Hui's eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked at Lin Qingyang excitedly: Qingyang really understands me!

Lin Qingyang smiled shyly and gave himself a thumbs-up in his heart. It turns out that I understand Ah Hui the best!

The ghost master who stood up and left had no idea that the man behind him who was suspected to be his rival in love was being affectionate with another man.

After leaving the box, he frowned and called his subordinates, ordering them to lead the two men out of the city and deal with them as soon as possible.

Before he finished speaking, he hesitated for a moment and said, "I'll do it myself. These two are both half-step Nascent Soul cultivators. You just need to guide them to Yehuang Valley in the west of the city."

The previous test had no effect. One of the two men was slippery and ruthless, while the other was silent and taciturn, and was really cunning.

However, there was one thing he was sure of, and that was that these two people were definitely not Ou Lingruo's friends. As for why they appeared here, he didn't know yet, but it didn't matter. He would get the answer once he captured the two and searched their souls.

Cheng Hui and Lin Qingyang walked out of the tavern slowly. They were not worried at all that the ghost master would not attack them.

During the meal before, Cheng Hui deliberately pretended to be silent, while Lin Qingyang behaved perfectly, arousing the ghost master's suspicion about the color of the hat on his head from all angles.

With Lin Qingyang's words, not to mention that the Ghost Lord is already very suspicious, even a couple with a deep affection might become suspicious.

In short, the two of them are now waiting for the Ghost Lord to make a move.

Given the Ghost Lord's cautious nature, he will definitely not take action in the city. The most likely scenario is that he will lure them out and kill them secretly.

After all, as long as the ghost master is not stupid, it is impossible for his fiancée to expose her affair in front of others.

So, Cheng Hui, who hadn't eaten or drunk enough, took Lin Qingyang for a stroll around the city, eating street food along the way. Seeing this, the monks who followed them had a toothache...

These two monks… no, that tall monk, isn't his appetite too good? How much has he eaten? He's devoured every snack on the street.

The most important thing is... these are all ordinary foods, which have no spiritual energy at all. No matter how much you eat, it will not benefit your cultivation.

Are they really just two ignorant casual cultivators?

The stalker thought speechlessly, forget it, it’s not easy for these two to cultivate to the Golden Core stage, what a pity... Who made them offend the Ghost Lord?

The stalker soon gathered some people over and whispered a few instructions.

Cheng Hui walked along a snack street, following the aroma and ate all the delicious snacks.

He touched his belly, which was not bulging, and once again expressed his gratitude to the monk for his strong ability to digest food.

If he had eaten even a tenth of those snacks in the past, his belly would have been bulging. But now? He could even go back and eat them all again!

"Ouch!" A woman fell to the ground and looked up at Cheng Hui with disbelief in her eyes.

What's wrong with this guy? Just now, she almost fell into the man's arms. Generally speaking, a normal man would at least maintain a certain level of demeanor when faced with such a soft and warm embrace, if not accept it with joy, right?

What's the result?

What just happened?

This man actually turned around and dodged...

Escaped...

hide……

How could this man have the heart to let such a delicate beauty fall to the ground?

Perhaps the result of her appearance was somewhat beyond the beauty's expectations, and she was choked on the words she had prepared. It took her a while to recover and she began to cry sadly.

It was already eye-catching to see a beautiful woman falling to the ground, and she didn't say anything, just looked at Cheng Hui crying, which made people around her start pointing at Cheng Hui, as if he had done something extremely evil.

Cheng Hui touched his nose. With his intuition, he knew the woman did it on purpose the moment she fell over.

As a kindhearted man, he dodged and let someone fall to the ground, actually saving her life...

Cheng Hui looked up at Lin Qingyang, but the half-smile on his face made him look away guiltily.

He admitted that this woman had bad intentions, but her crime was not punishable by death. On the other hand, if he let her throw herself into his arms, with Lin Qingyang's jealous look, he was afraid that this woman would really be doomed.

Isn’t it good to be alive?

Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda, so Cheng Hui decided to let her fall to the ground, which would be better for everyone!

"Let's go." Seeing the woman crying miserably, Cheng Hui didn't sympathize with her, but he suddenly remembered that if this was the way the Ghost Lord was trying to lead them away, then his actions just now... did they disrupt the subsequent procedures?

Cheng Hui silently apologized to the Ghost Lord in his heart, but he still felt that Lin Qingyang's feelings were more important. If the Ghost Lord failed to lure him in this time, he would definitely have another trick up his sleeve. He couldn't let others take advantage of him, otherwise Qingyang would be unhappy.

Lin Qingyang expressed his happiness that Cheng Hui had such self-awareness, and he felt that it was more important to resolve the matter as soon as possible.

So, he helped the woman up in a gentle tone, comforted her carefully, and decided to send the beautiful woman home based on her not-so-perfect reason.

Unsurprisingly, the beauty's home was outside the city and not close to the city gate. If they followed her out, they would probably not be able to come back in time at night.

Cheng Hui and Lin Qingyang exchanged glances and confirmed that this was a trap set by the Ghost King.

The reason is simple. How long have they been in Beizhou City?

Less than a day!

Apart from the Ghost King, who would bother to lure them both out of the city?

The two men followed the woman and left Beizhou City. Seeing that they were easily fooled, the monk who was following them was stunned.

Originally, he designed a series of traps, and the woman who fell was just the beginning. For this, he didn't even spend the effort to find those with superb acting skills. He just bribed a Hua Niang with money and solved the problem.

Now, this woman who seemed so fake to him actually managed to get the two of them out of the city... It's outrageous!

The tracker silently sent a message to the Ghost Lord, telling him that these two people didn't seem very smart. Perhaps the Ghost Lord could use this information to gain more advantages in the battle.

Soon, under the woman's deliberate guidance, Cheng Hui and Lin Qingyang arrived at Yehuang Valley outside the city without knowing anything.

The terrain of Yehuang Valley is unique. There are a large number of bizarrely shaped wind-eroded rocks in the center of the canyon. At night, when the breeze blows through the holes in these rocks, it will make a strange sound, like the wailing of evil spirits, which makes people feel panic, so it is named Yehuang Valley.
