Chapter 48 Old Ghost Recommends Himself
As I wished, I had a barbecue at the brazier restaurant before returning to Haishi. I also bought some local hot pot base and dried chilies, divided them into several portions, and took the bus slowly to Siyuntang.
"Oh, you're traveling?" Boss Huang was still the same, half lying down, holding the teapot and taking a sip from the spout from time to time. "Why are you back so early? Why don't you take advantage of the weekend to have a couple more days of fun?"
The corners of Qin Qinsen's mouth, which were originally raised high, suddenly froze. Yes, today is Saturday, why is he in such a hurry to come back?
Just as he was feeling frustrated, he suddenly realized what was happening when he saw Boss Huang's sneer. He quickly handed over the things he had brought, "This is for you."
I looked around but didn't see anyone. "Where's Brother Hong? Isn't he coming to accompany you this weekend?"
"You're the one who knows more." Glancing at Qin Qinsen, Boss Huang opened the bag, revealing hot pot base and chili peppers. "You forgot about your appointment with me just to go traveling?!"
"No!"
Qin Qinsen quickly protested his innocence and presented a gift box that was obviously heavier with both hands. "I was going to do something important. I missed the promise I made to you. Please bring it to your sister as an apology."
Seeing that Qin Qinsen was quite sincere, Boss Huang took the things leisurely and signaled him with his eyes that he could sit down.
Qin Qinsen pulled a stool and sat down next to Boss Huang. He asked, "How is Xiaofeng? Has that old ghost left?"
"You're here by chance, come out." Boss Huang knocked on the table, and a familiar sinister aura came from behind the counter.
"My friend, I haven't seen you for a long time. You look much better."
Why is Lao Gui here?
"Didn't I give you gold and silver offerings? Why are you here in Siyun Hall?"
Could it be that he has other demands, or is he asking for too much and refuses to leave?
"Don't worry, young friend. Look at me." The old ghost pulled out a rope from his sleeve. "With three hundred and sixty-four years of practice, you're adept with ropes and fearless of sunlight. You're also a master at possessing bodies. So far, you're the only one who can pull me out of a living person's body."
Qin Qinsen was a little frightened when he met the old ghost's inexplicably shining eyes.
Is this...self-recommendation?
Although he did envy Qi Qingshan for having such a capable assistant like Asan, he had no interest in carrying around an old ghost who had been dead for 364 years!
When it comes to pets, it’s best if they can’t talk.
"Young man, do you have any concerns?" The old man was very cunning. He could use Xiao Feng to threaten Boss Huang to bring him out, but he had no way to deal with Qin Qinsen. Therefore, he pretended to be easy to talk to, hoping to stay with Qin Qinsen.
Having been dead for nearly four hundred years and having evaded several inspections by the underworld, the old ghost had no intention of reincarnating. Instead, he was extremely keen on the idea of practicing cultivation after death.
And Qin Qinsen is the best host he has been waiting for for a long time, or in modern terms - the boss.
"I don't need an assistant at the moment. If you stay with me, it will just be a waste of time."
Qin Qinsen knew that anyone who approached him was either a scammer or a cunning sly creature with more cunning than a honeycomb. He had trypophobia and was most afraid of interacting with such people/ghosts, so he decisively refused.
"Don't be so arbitrary." The old ghost shook his head, with an expression that said "young people are ignorant." "There are so many benefits to having you by my side. I can gather information, go undercover in the enemy, and fight ghosts. Everything is easy for me."
Unexpectedly, Qin Qinsen still shook his head.
"Why are you so stubborn!"
"He doesn't know what he's talking about. Why don't you come with me?" A woman walked in from outside. She was of medium height, with black hair and red lips, and beautiful makeup. Unfortunately, her eyes were fixed on the old ghost, and the desire in them flashed away.
"A ghost with nearly four hundred years of cultivation, yet still retaining its sanity, is clearly highly skilled. As expected of Boss Huang, we've made the right choice to visit Siyuntang today."
"Long time no see." Boss Huang stood up, took out a booklet that looked like an account book, and flipped to a page. "Pick anything you want."
The visitor smiled coquettishly, resting her hands on the counter. Without even glancing at the brochure, she stretched out her finger and tapped Boss Huang's cheek, "Boss Huang, do you really want to see me?"
"I didn't want to, so I quickly picked it out, grabbed my things and left."
"Humph, you talk as if I really want to see you." The woman's expression turned cold and she slammed her hand on the table. "This old ghost, how much is it?"
"It's not for sale. You should discuss it with them yourself." Boss Huang clearly didn't like the newcomer. Seeing that she wasn't interested in the contents of the booklet, he immediately threw the booklet into the cabinet. "Ning Li, no one here will spoil you."
"Hehe, so what."
Ning Li walked straight up to Lao Gui and said, "Since someone doesn't know what's good, why don't you follow me? What do you think, Senior?"
"No, no."
Unexpectedly, Lao Gui refused directly.
"Come with me, you can offer incense and worship me every day, and you just need to help me with a few things occasionally." Ning Li advised with a smile.
"The girl is dishonest."
When Lao Gui said this, Ning Li's smile faded significantly, "What do you mean?"
"Your Yin energy is thicker than that of an old ghost like me. It's obvious that you have one foot in the ground. Why do you need me to help you? You can do it yourself soon."
After two strange laughs, the old ghost didn't want to say much. Seeing that Qin Qinsen had no intention of interrupting, let alone taking him with him, the old ghost waved his hand casually, "Cooperation is based on mutual consent. Since my friend has other plans, I can only seek other opportunities. Farewell."
"Come back." Ning Li's hands were extremely fast, but she was still a beat late.
"Girl, you still need to practice more. When you become a ghost, you can come to the Hai City Museum and become neighbors with the old ghost, hahahaha."
Seeing the duck in hand fly away, Ning Li glared at the two people present, "Why didn't you stop him!"
Boss Huang ignored her and continued slurping the teapot. Qin Qinsen shrugged innocently, not wanting to get involved. "Let me see what's in that booklet."
"It's all you look down upon." Boss Huang slapped away the hairy hand that was reaching for the cabinet and said unhappily.
Bang!
Ning Li slapped the counter between them, her face brimming with anger. "Is this how you treat your customers? Aren't you afraid that if I tell others about it, it will ruin your reputation?"
"Ma'am, please calm down. I'm a customer of Siyuntang and he's the boss." Qin Qinsen pointed at Boss Huang. "Besides, he's a freelancer and doesn't have a sign. Do you understand?"
"you--!"
"Anger is bad for your health. Didn't you hear what the old ghost said? You're already halfway to the grave, why are you still so impatient?" Boss Huang put down the teapot and sighed. "Well, I told you that you were messing around, but you refused to listen. Now look what happened, even gods can't save you."
"Don't pretend to be kind. If you don't want to help, just say so. Who are you trying to show off to?"
Ning Li's eyes seemed to be burning with fire. In the past, Boss Huang would have found an excuse to avoid her gaze. But today was different. Boss Huang gave her a deep look, then turned to the pretty boy next door and said:
"Please help her this time, and you can choose anything from Siyun Hall from now on."
