An Xiaoyu glanced back at the Five Ghosts, then pulled Jiang Yuan to sit in front of the stage at Huanyun Tower, saying casually, "Let's watch the show before we go about our other business."
"good!"
Jiang Yuan readily agreed. He also wanted to see what the black market was up to. If the Five Ghosts could tolerate this, then he had to be on guard.
Upon seeing the two sit down, anger surged in the eyes of the Five Ghosts. They knew perfectly well that the other party was implying that they should sing, but they were of noble status and could not be made into actors for others.
"Damn it, I'll kill those two bastards!"
Suddenly, the ghost sprang to his feet, brandishing his knife and charging toward Jiang Yuan and the other man.
However, a voice echoed in their minds.
“His wife is my wife. Since my wife likes to watch plays, then I will put on a show for her.”
With a single sentence, the five ghosts fell completely silent. They showed no intention of resisting, for this great man had decided their fate.
Before long, the five ghosts, dressed in theatrical makeup, actually went on stage to perform. Although they didn't know how to sing, the ability of the five ghosts bringing wealth was something they all possessed, so their performance was far more realistic than traditional opera.
"What a show!"
Watching the play, Jiang Yuan gave his classic fake smile. His heart was already racing, ready to fight. He knew that the real show was yet to come, and he would have to give it his all to finish it.
"Husband, are you confident?" An Xiaoyu's heart was also on edge. Five Nascent Soul Realm experts were putting on a show for them, so one could imagine the strength of the person in charge behind the scenes.
“We’ve always been confident, it’s just a matter of how much!” Jiang Yuan grabbed An Xiaoyu’s hand and said, “Next, you need to meet up with Zhao Di and the others, and we can’t give the Five Ghosts any chance to take advantage of us.”
His concerns were not unfounded. If he left, the Five Ghosts might take the opportunity to attack An Xiaoyu, making it difficult for him to come to her aid.
"Don't worry, Xiaoyu knows." An Xiaoyu kissed Jiang Yuan's lips passionately, and the two seemed to have returned to the Republic of China era, experiencing the pure and beautiful love of that time together.
"Alright, I'll go and meet him."
Jiang Yuan stood up from the armchair and jumped onto the stage, saying, "Let's go, let me see who this great man of yours really is!"
The five ghosts took their bows and left with Jiang Yuan, while An Xiaoyu quickly contacted Liu Zhaodi and formed a united front.
Needless to say, the strength of the three of them is undeniable. Both Gong Suxin and Liu Zhaodi are capable of dealing with Nascent Soul Realm cultivators, while An Xiaoyu, who is slightly weaker, is about 70% confident in dealing with male Nascent Soul Realm cultivators, but she has little chance of winning against female ones.
"Oh no, I've figured out the origins of the black market owner!"
Five minutes after Jiang Yuan disappeared, a copper coin in Gong Suxin's palm suddenly broke in two, and her expression turned worried.
"What happened? Is my husband hurt?" An Xiaoyu asked hurriedly.
"I roughly know where they come from!" Liu Zhaodi's expression also became slightly solemn.
"Stop keeping us in suspense! If our husband is in danger, we'll go save him right away. What's the use of worrying here?" An Xiaoyu grabbed one of the two women by the arm and tried to drag them to find Jiang Yuan. She didn't stand on ceremony with Gong Suxin at all, even though Jiang Yuan had said that he and Gong Suxin were just siblings.
"I'm afraid it won't work this time."
Liu Zhaodi bit her lip and hesitated for a moment before saying, "The other party may be connected to the Grim Reaper, so it will be difficult for us to help."
“Yes, according to the divination, the other party is a little devil who used to follow the original Grim Reaper, and their relationship is very close,” Gong Suxin added.
"If that's the case, then my husband should be safe, right?" An Xiaoyu asked worriedly, counting on her fingers.
"It's not necessarily true now!"
Gong Suxin shook her head, glanced back at the path she had come in, and said, "Judging from the items that appeared on the black market just now, the other party should know Jiang Yuan very well, while Jiang Yuan knows nothing about the other party."
"Moreover, I am also worried that the other party may have the idea of replacing Jiang Yuan. After all, only those around the king have ever had the idea of rebellion. I am afraid that Jiang Yuan will fall into their trap."
Gong Suxin's concerns were not unfounded, because Jiang Yuan knew nothing about the other party, and his chances of winning by attacking from the shadows were slim.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's storm in!" An Xiaoyu raised her hand and took out the Nine-Colored Sparrow Feather. She was going to storm into the black market.
"good!"
Liu Zhaodi and Gong Suxin were also unwilling to wait here; sometimes, using a sword was the fastest way to solve a problem.
"Ladies, please wait here for the master!"
However, just as the three were about to charge out, five-colored light enveloped them, and the figures of the five ghosts slowly emerged.
