Liu Qingmei watched them with a sense of boredom, having no idea what the two men were talking about.
After drinking until they were about 70-80% drunk, the group went home.
Now that Liu Qingmei has completely severed ties with the Liu family, she has no choice but to return to the villa with Ye Xingchen.
It was evening, and Jess was sitting on a piano, playing it with utter boredom.
Ordinary people cannot see his body. Now, melodious piano music is playing in the room, and the piano keys are moving, but no one can be seen playing the piano.
"Ye Xingchen, this wine... it's strong and flavorful, I like it." Zhang Shihao staggered in.
This guy actually has a pretty good alcohol tolerance, but unfortunately, he ran into Ye Xingchen.
Even without using any tricks to force out the alcohol, Ye Xingchen's strength meant that his alcohol tolerance was not bad.
"You become like this after just a little bit of alcohol. Your drinking manners are terrible." Ye Xingchen helped him into the room.
"Huh, where am I?" Zhang Shih-hao looked around in a daze.
Then he caught a glimpse of Jess sitting at the piano, dressed in a black robe.
Moreover, when Jess saw the people coming, he turned his head and grinned at the two of them in a friendly manner.
It was that wicked smile that sent a shiver down Zhang Shih-hao's spine, instantly sobering him up.
He roared, "There's something inside! Get out of the way! The Three Pure Ones' decree has summoned gods and demons! Break..."
A talisman was thrown out, and instantly a small flame ignited on Jess's body.
Jess looked down at the small flame on his body and showed an incredulous expression.
Then he let out a hysterical scream, flames leaped from his body, and he ran frantically around the room, shouting, "Fire, fire, save me, please save me!"
However, this fire was the unique Three Pure Ones True Fire of Qiwu Mountain, how could it be extinguished so easily? This guy, covered in flames, roared and struggled in the room, but the fire only grew stronger.
Finally, Ye Xingchen couldn't stand it anymore. Helplessly, he grabbed with his right hand, made a hand seal, and with a hiss, the flames on Jess's body were extinguished.
"There are evil spirits causing trouble! Behold my Three Pure Ones True Method!" Zhang Shih-hao, standing to the side, began to form hand seals again, exuding righteousness and appearing awe-inspiring.
"Alright, he's one of us. This is an international friend. He helped us a lot during the invasion of China. Don't hurt him by mistake." Ye Xingchen slapped Zhang Shihao on the back of the head, instantly waking him up.
"Uh... one of us?" Zhang Shih-hao scratched the back of his head, somewhat embarrassed as he put away the talisman in his hand: "Sorry, it's a professional habit. I couldn't help but take action when I saw a soul like yours."
"That scared me to death, that really scared me to death," Jess gasped, still shaken.
Just now, for a fleeting moment, he truly believed he was going to die at the hands of the other party.
Fortunately, Ye Xingchen stopped him in time, otherwise he really didn't know if he would have died again.
"Um, this is Jess." Ye Xingchen introduced him simply: "I have some questions to ask him, and he happened to have nowhere to go, so I left him here."
"In addition, Weina and Jiuli will arrive tomorrow. Dealing with Na Yuanzhen this time will be quite difficult, so we need to have enough manpower."
"Well, you've had more people around you in just a few days?" Zhang Shihao muttered to himself. "And they're all beauties. Tsk tsk, Ye Xingchen, you're destined for romance, surrounded by so many beautiful women. You've really lived a worthwhile life."
"What are you talking about?" Ye Xingchen said, both amused and exasperated. "Your sect doesn't seem to have any rules against marriage, and besides, you're not a Taoist priest, so you can totally do it."
"I can't. If I do something reckless, my master will definitely break my legs. Although there's no explicit prohibition, I still have to abide by the Taoist precepts," Ye Xingchen said.
"Hehe, your life must be pretty boring." Ye Xingchen laughed: "Alright, let's all get to know each other."
"Hello, my name is Jess." Jess stepped forward timidly, forcing out a smile that looked more like a grimace.
He is a ghost, and Zhang Shih-hao is a disciple of Qi Wu Mountain. Zhang Shih-hao, who has been cultivating since childhood, has golden light on his body. This golden light is a deadly killing move for him.
Therefore, he was undoubtedly flustered when he approached Zhang Shih-hao.
“Sorry, brother, I was a bit too rough with you just now. You can’t be seen in the light now, right? It’s okay, I’ll get you a talisman tomorrow so you can walk in the sun like a normal person,” Zhang Shihao said.
"Really? Thank you so much! I haven't seen the sun in almost a hundred years, sob sob..." Jess was deeply moved.
"This guy is too fake," Ye Xingchen shook his head helplessly, then said, "Miss Liu, we don't know Jiyang City as well as you do. We'll have to ask you for help with Na Yuanzhen's matter."
"Don't worry, I've already contacted my second uncle. Although he's not in Jiyang City, he knows the area very well. Someone will contact us tomorrow," Liu Qingmei said.
"Okay, thank you." Ye Xingchen nodded.
There were three people and one ghost, quite a lot of people, but the villa was also quite large, with more than a dozen rooms, so it didn't feel crowded.
At night, Liu Qingmei stood in the courtyard, gazing at the cold starlight, lost in thought.
"What are you doing here in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?" Ye Xingchen slowly walked over.
"You didn't sleep either?" Liu Qingmei turned her head and asked Ye Xingchen.
"Me?" Ye Xingchen chuckled dryly. "I'm different from you. I can sleep or not, but if you don't sleep, you must have something on your mind."
"Aren't you also burdened with worries?" Liu Qingmei retorted without any politeness.
"Alright, alright." Ye Xingchen smiled and said calmly, "My worries are different from yours."
"I was thinking, is the Liu family just going to fall apart like this?" Liu Qingmei murmured.
"The reason the Liu family didn't fall apart before was because your great-grandfather was still alive," Ye Xingchen said. "But now that your great-grandfather is gone, the Liu family members' demonic power has been stripped away, so the Liu family has naturally fallen apart."
"However, if you are willing, you can put this back together; it's not difficult."
“Start over? Heh, let it go. There are so many rules every day, it’s so annoying.” Liu Qingmei shook her head: “To be honest, I’m not surprised or worried at all that the Liu family has come to this point.”
"On the contrary, I felt a sense of relief and a weight lifted off my shoulders."
"That's because the burden your family placed on you was too heavy, and you couldn't bear it," Ye Xingchen said. "So now that the Liu family has fallen apart, isn't it a relief for you?"
“Yes, it’s a relief for me,” Liu Qingmei sighed, “but I can’t be happy.”
