"Yes, yes, I will do as you say." Professor Zhou nodded quickly, then he said with a bitter face, "Mr. Ye, I am actually a serious researcher. I used to be in the Chinese Academy of Sciences and I was dedicated to research."
“Sometimes I even used my own salary to subsidize some projects, but because I was so focused on research and didn’t understand social etiquette, I was ostracized and fired.”
Ye Xingchen glanced at the old man and indeed, the old man's protective suit was gone.
He was wearing glasses, had gray hair, and looked very refined, definitely like the kind of person who seriously does research.
"You were ostracized, so in a fit of anger you founded this Institute of Paranormal Phenomena? To deceive people with your knowledge?"
"This... I know I was wrong. I was just angry and made a mistake." Professor Zhou looked a little embarrassed and bowed deeply to Ye Xingchen. "But my research project has never stopped."
"What are you researching? Don't tell me it's about the soul or something like that. Let me tell you, you can't research that. This phenomenon is part of the order of heaven and earth, it belongs to the secrets of heaven." Ye Xingchen shook his head.
“I know all that.” Professor Zhou nodded. “But Mr. Ye, just now you casually summoned ghost generals and soldiers. Doesn’t that seem to violate the order of heaven and earth?”
Ye Xingchen was stunned. Although the old man was old, his mind was still clear.
"So what if it is? Order has always been created for the weak, and its binding force on the strong is limited." Ye Xingchen said, "Therefore, there are some rules that I can break, but you can't, understand?"
“I understand, but one of my research topics has stalled. If this research stops, I will die with regrets. So if it is convenient for you, Mr. Ye, please do me a favor.” Professor Zhou bowed deeply to Ye Xingchen.
"That depends on whether we are destined to meet." Ye Xingchen smiled: "If we have the chance to meet again after I leave here, it proves that we are destined to meet. It is fate, and I will help you out."
"If we don't meet, it means there's no fate between us, so your research deserves to stagnate, understand?"
"I understand, I understand, I believe we will definitely meet again." The old man nodded repeatedly, and because he was so excited, he coughed violently.
He thanked Ye Xingchen repeatedly before leaving.
"Brother Zhang, I've finished dealing with things, I'll be leaving now." Seeing that everything was alright, Ye Xingchen took his leave.
"Brother Ye, this isn't an isolated incident, is it?" Zhang Qiao asked with some apprehension. "You said it's related to something you're currently dealing with?"
"Yes, it's a snake. We encountered it in the forest before. Although we killed its main body, its spirit escaped." Ye Xingchen explained, "Now this guy's spirit has possessed a dead person and has started causing trouble again."
"It's my fault. I didn't solve the problem in one go, but it's okay. I'll solve it right away."
"Then I'll have to leave it to you, brother. This thing is a threat to us as long as it's alive." Zhang Qiao nodded. "So I'll have to ask you to put in a little effort."
"Understood, don't worry, Brother Zhang, leave this to me. Chen Wenhao, let's go." Ye Xingchen called out to Chen Wenhao, who was still in a daze.
"Okay, brother-in-law." Chen Wenhao was overjoyed and followed Ye Xingchen out happily.
"Brother-in-law, could you teach me your secret technique for summoning ghost generals?" Chen Wenhao asked in a fawning manner after leaving the house.
"You can't learn this." Ye Xingchen glanced at Chen Wenhao; this guy really doesn't do anything worthwhile.
"Why? I don't think my aptitude is too bad. Teach me, it's my problem if I can't learn it." Chen Wenhao was getting anxious. He always thought his intelligence was pretty good. Couldn't learn it? As long as he was willing to learn, there was nothing in this world that he couldn't learn.
"You should just give up." Ye Xingchen sighed. "I told you, these are all butterfly effects. Once you learn these things, more strange people will appear around you, and there will be even more powerful beings. You won't even know how you died."
"If I were you, I wouldn't touch these things, I would just be an ordinary person forever, and live a peaceful and stable life."
"That's so boring," Chen Wenhao sighed.
"Boring?" Ye Xingchen was speechless. Thinking back to his high school days, how tough his life was.
He went to school to work part-time, doing odd jobs in the cafeteria, just for a bite to eat.
Honestly, if he had Chen Wenhao's current family background, he would rather be a stable rich kid, because the path of cultivation is just too dangerous.
"It's really boring, a life where you can see the end from the beginning," Chen Wenhao said somewhat dejectedly. "I really want to be like you."
"Kid, just live your life properly. Are you out of your mind? Your so-called 'life where you can see the end from the beginning' is something many people can only dream of." Ye Xingchen patted his shoulder and then walked forward.
"Brother-in-law, where are you going?" Chen Wenhao caught up with him. "Brother-in-law, when are you going on a date with my sister? If you're too embarrassed to ask her directly, I'll ask her for you."
"How about tonight? I'll take care of everything."
Ye Xingchen was both amused and exasperated. How afraid was this grandson of his sister not being able to get married?
Ever since Hua Li appeared, Liang Chenghu's secret room has become his lair.
When he opened his eyes, his pupils narrowed to slits, and his eyeballs glowed with a greenish hue, making him look extremely eerie.
As Hua Li exhaled heavily, the eerie light in his eyes disappeared, and his eyes looked no different from those of a normal person.
Hua Li slowly stood up. The demonic aura on his body was getting weaker and weaker. It wasn't that he was becoming more and more human, but rather that he knew how to hide the demonic aura on his body.
Liang Chenghu walked in from outside. Seeing that Hua Li had become stronger, he seemed quite pleased: "Mr. Hua's aura is getting better and better."
"Flattery won't work. Finding me some high-quality tonics is the key." Hua Li slowly turned to look at Liang Chenghu: "How's your matter going?"
"Thanks to Mr. Hua, I've almost finished dealing with my affairs." Liang Chenghu was unusually excited when he mentioned this: "I have basically taken complete control of the Liang Group. There were a few old guys in the company who were arrogant and opposed me, but I have secretly dealt with them."
"You're quite ruthless," Hua Li glanced at him and said, "But that's fine too; only ruthless people can stand firm."
