Chapter 26: A Single Man and a Single Woman

As the saying goes, things change over time.

When Zhang Ming wanted to become his disciple, Zhang Quezi refused. Now Zhang Quezi wants to become his disciple, but Zhang Ming doesn't want to become his disciple. This is really embarrassing.

Zhang Quezi was very embarrassed and looked at Zhang Ming angrily and said, "Are you really not going to become his disciple?"

"No, I'm fine learning on my own." Zhang Ming was very proud and looked at Zhang Quezi like this, not to mention how happy he was.

Zhang Quezi could only stare at him and couldn't do anything about Zhang Ming.

Now he really regretted it. When someone wanted to become his disciple, shouldn't he have agreed?

Why did he have to lower his face and take the initiative to accept someone now, and the person was not happy?

After thinking about it, Zhang Quezi felt that Zhang Ming was indeed a promising talent. If he really couldn't do it, he should lower his profile and try to accept him as his disciple.

But just as he was about to speak again, Zhang Ming walked out the door and said to Gu Qi: "The rain has stopped, Gu Qi, can you give me a ride?"

Gu Qi nodded. She drove here, so it was no problem for her to give Zhang Ming a ride.

But this made Zhang Quezi very embarrassed, and he could only watch Zhang Ming and Gu Qi leave.

What was even worse was that when Fatty saw Zhang Ming leaving, he said to Zhang Quezi: "Master... it's all... all your fault. You didn't accept me at first, and now... if you want to accept me... I won't worship you anymore."

"Shut up, you're so annoying!" Zhang Quezi said unhappily: "If you two weren't so untalented, would I want to accept him so much?"

Fatty and Huangmao stopped talking immediately!

Zhang Ming sat in Gu Qi's car, feeling very happy.

Not only because he made the old cripple suffer today, but also because his Taoist magic was put into practice, and the effect was unexpected.

Moreover, he actually performed palm thunder just now, which was really a breakthrough.

Therefore, he became more enthusiastic about Taoist magic.

Gu Qi, who was driving at the side, kept peeking at Zhang Ming from time to time, and his face was slightly red from time to time. No one knew what he was thinking.

After a while, Gu Qi drove to the outside of Zhang Ming's community. Zhang Ming got out of the car and chatted with Gu Qi for a few words, then returned to the community.

In the car, Gu Qi looked at Zhang Ming's back and was in a daze for a while.

Then, she hurriedly took out a small notebook, wrote the name Zhang Ming, and made a lot of notes below...

The next day, Zhang Ming went to work in the company. When he met Ye Ling, he found that Ye Ling's face was not optimistic. When

Ye Ling saw Zhang Ming, she also asked Zhang Ming to go to her office.

In the office, after the two sat down, Ye Ling said to Zhang Ming with an ugly face: "Zhang Ming, I had a nightmare last night, but... it didn't seem to be a dream."

"What's the matter? Tell me slowly!" Zhang Ming also vaguely sensed that Ye Ling had some yin energy and knew that it was not as simple as a nightmare.

"After I went to bed last night, I seemed to wake up in the middle of the night. When I woke up, I felt that there were iron chains wrapped around my body and someone was pulling hard. I was scared at the time. I looked carefully and saw two black figures in the darkness, which made me feel very scared.

They pulled the iron chains wrapped around me hard, as if they wanted to pull me up, but they couldn't. I was very scared and couldn't move during the whole process. When they saw that I woke up, they told me that I should have died and they were here to take my soul."

Hearing this, Zhang Ming hurriedly asked: "What happened next?"

Ye Ling said: "I don't know how long it lasted, anyway, they couldn't pull me up, and I woke up at dawn."

"It sounds like a dream, but actually, I don't think it was a dream, because I remember it clearly, and it feels like it really happened."

Zhang Ming naturally knew that it really happened, and he knew without thinking that it must be a ghost messenger who was trying to get her soul.

However, because Hong You changed Ye Ling's Book of Life and Death, making it so that she could not die within a year no matter what, the ghost messenger could not get her soul.

I remember the last time Hong You interrogated a ghost messenger. The ghost messenger said that it was sent by the Black Xuan Ghost Emperor to get Ye Ling's soul.

Could it be that this time, the Black Xuan Ghost Emperor sent the ghost messenger again? If so, its purpose is still to oppose Zhang Ming.

It seems that this Black Xuan Ghost Emperor really doesn't want to see the return of his previous life, the Mingjun Ghost Emperor.

Seeing Zhang Ming didn't say anything, Ye Ling sighed and said, "I know, it's hard for people to believe what I said."

"No, I believe it." Zhang Ming said, "This is not a dream!"

"Really?" Ye Ling looked at Zhang Ming in surprise.

Zhang Ming knew that it was impossible to hide this from Ye Ling. At this moment, people really felt the ghost messenger's soul-snatching.

So, Zhang Ming might as well tell her directly.

Otherwise, in the days to come, Ye Ling will only face more real, weird and confusing things.

So, Zhang Ming told her about the ghost messenger's soul-snatching when she committed suicide, including Zhang Ming's claim that he helped her and her grandfather change the Book of Life and Death.

Of course, he didn't say anything about the Ghost Emperor and his relationship with Hong You.

He just told Ye Ling that he was practicing Taoism.

After hearing this, Ye Ling tried to be shocked, but after thinking carefully for a while, all the incredible things that happened since she met Zhang Ming seemed to prove that what Zhang Ming said was true.

Suddenly, Ye Ling was more grateful to Zhang Ming.

And Zhang Ming told Ye Ling that if she stayed with him tonight, Zhang Ming would help her to repel the ghost messenger if another ghost messenger came.

He was still confident about this.

After all, he was the Ghost Emperor in his previous life, and he repelled the ghost messenger last time.

Ye Ling was very happy to hear this, and her heart was also very excited. What was exciting was that

she would be alone with Zhang Ming at night. Although she didn't know why she was excited and looking forward to being alone with a man...

Time soon came to the evening, and Zhang Ming went to Ye Ling's house.

Fortunately, Ye Ling was alone, otherwise it would be embarrassing.

Her house is quite big and luxurious. After all, she is the boss of a company.

Ye Ling was very happy. She asked Zhang Ming to sit down and she cooked dinner. She cooked a lot of delicious food and even brought out red wine.

Zhang Ming felt that she was not here to help, but... for a date?

Zhang Ming finished the meal in a somewhat nervous state.

Why is he nervous? He was worried that Hong You would be jealous if she knew about this, and then he would be doomed.

After dinner, it was already late.

Ye Ling did not look nervous at the moment, but was very excited.

Zhang Ming was expecting the ghost messenger to come quickly and take care of things, and then he would leave quickly.

Time passed by little by little, and the two chatted from time to time. Until twelve o'clock in the evening, no ghost messenger came.

Both of them were very confused. At this time, Ye Ling said with a slightly red face: "Is it because... I didn't go to bed."

Zhang Ming thought it was possible, and said: "Then you go to bed."

"I'm alone? I dare not..." Ye Ling said.

"Then what should I do?" Zhang Ming said: "It's impossible for me to accompany you?"

"Uh... you can hide in my room, otherwise I'm really scared." Ye Ling said embarrassedly.

Zhang Ming rolled his eyes and said, "It's not good to be alone with a man and a woman, right?"

"I'm not afraid as a woman, so why should you be afraid as a man? Besides..."

Ye Ling wanted to say: It doesn't matter what happens.

But she still didn't dare to say it!
