Chapter 48
After Ye Wangxing said this, the blush on the Ghost Emperor's face immediately disappeared, his expression changed and he said with some disdain.
"I just didn't expect that you would go too far after giving me a chance to please me. How can you, a human being, be so bold and shameless?"
These words were very consistent with his disdainful expression, but Ye Wangxing looked at the handsome man with a high nose and deep eyes beside him with an expressionless face.
"Then can you let go of my arm around my shoulders? I'm afraid my shamelessness will pollute your eyes."
Watching the Ghost Emperor on the stage saying shameless while hugging Vice President Ding:...
——She was now really glad that she had just moved the microphone away.
Otherwise, she couldn't imagine how awkward the scene would be if what she just said was heard by the people in the audience.
But the Ghost Emperor did not control the volume, and the people sitting in the first row still heard it.
This also means that from Vice President Ding's perspective, the number of people who want to rush up can be counted at three.
Not to mention Master Li Guan, who is Ye Wangxing's master. From the very beginning, he was looking at the Ghost Emperor Xie Yu on the stage with a ferocious expression as if he was looking at a yellow-haired man.
Although Lu Shi did not hold any magic spell, it seemed from the talisman in his hand that he also wanted to rush forward.
However, it seemed that because of what Ye Wangxing had said to this person before, he did not dare to rush forward at all.
Even the young boy who was rescued by Ye Wangxing trembled as he tightened the small peach wood sword in his sleeve.
Fortunately, the Ghost Emperor did not act up next time, which allowed Vice President Ding to temporarily put her mind at ease. She didn't have to worry about Ye Wangxing while keeping them under control.
However, after the meeting was over, when everyone left the conference room and only they were left, this monster finally started to act.
The first one was Lu Shi, who looked at Ye Wangxing calmly but with sadness. However, this time, Ye Wangxing didn't know why he ignored his friend. Instead, he pretended to turn his head away casually and didn't look at him.
"Is this an attempt to save his friend?"
Vice President Ding thought that if Ye Wangxing thought this way, he was wrong.
——Because even if he turned his head away, there would be someone on the other side who would hang directly on Ye Wangxing’s arm.
Yu Yi rushed over. Although she was only half a head shorter than Ye Wangxing, she looked quite like a little bird.
He raised his head, with an expression of 'I am so weak', and asked worriedly: "Brother Ye, are you okay? Is the matter completely resolved now? You are not in danger, right?"
Ye Wangxing looked at Yu Yi and spoke more gently.
"Ah, it's solved."
Yu Yi was obviously relieved, and said to Ye Wangxing with a gentle smile: "That's great, what happened before scared me to death, Brother Ye, such a good person must not be in danger."
Being praised by Yu Yi, Ye Wangxing scratched his head a little embarrassedly and whispered: "I'm not a very good person..."
Then, as soon as he said this, he saw the young boy was about to refute angrily, so he quickly changed the subject and said, "By the way, while Vice President Ding is here, I will register your identity now, so that we can go to the public security system to find your family later."
"I told you when I rescued you that I would help you find your family. Now is the time to fulfill your promise!"
The handsome boy smiled proudly and touched the boy's head in front of him with a very reliable look.
A blush gradually appeared on the boy's face, and his eyes were filled with the shadow of Ye Wangxing.
Vice President Ding looked at the young boy opposite him with infatuated eyes and sighed silently.
Alas, invisible seduction is the most deadly...
However, Vice President Ding still helped. After all, compared to the Ghost Emperor who could start a killing spree at any time and anywhere, and the very abnormal Lu Shi beside Ye Wangxing, although this young boy had means to protect himself, he was barely a normal person.
Giving a helping hand is also considered a good deed.
After Vice President Ding registered their information and arranged accommodation for them, he walked towards the office.
but……
Ye Wangxing's psychological problems need to be taken seriously. What happened today has really ruined this child's future.
Especially since he, a genius with a bright future, was forced to be tied to the Ghost Emperor, and he was not one of those people from the Zhou family. It would be strange if Ye Wangxing really accepted it completely.
Vice President Ding thought about it and turned to call Master Li. After a long call, Master Li's distant voice sounded from the other end of the phone.
"...You want me to give my apprentice some psychological guidance and help him accept this reality?"
Li Guanzhu's voice of disbelief came from the other end of the phone.
"No, Mr. Ding, I still haven't accepted it. Such a good disciple of mine, such a perfect and talented disciple, was bound by the Ghost Emperor. He even did it in front of me, his master. I feel wronged!"
Li Guanzhu sounded quite aggrieved on the other end of the phone.
"You feel aggrieved, I feel aggrieved too, and our entire association feels aggrieved from top to bottom. But Master Li, you have to know that your apprentice feels more aggrieved than you. He is the one who bears all the responsibilities. He is only 22 this year and is still young. If you get too obsessed with this..."
Vice President Ding knew Li Guanzhu's weakness very well, and he was able to grasp Li Guanzhu's hand with just a few words. He also informed Li Guanzhu of the task to be assigned to Ye Wangxing and asked him to talk to Ye Wangxing.
It was obvious that there was something wrong with the task handed to Ye Wangxing at this time.
However, Master Li finally accepted it with a pinch of his nose. After all, Vice President Ding also made a promise. Even if the mission failed this time, or even if the mission did not make any progress at all, it would not cause any hidden dangers to Ye Wangxing's resume.
This means that even if Ye Wangxing just hangs around the door and comes back, he can still get the mission fee for free.
Vice President Ding finally breathed a sigh of relief, put the phone back in its place, and walked to the window of his office.
There were so many things going on today that she was a little overwhelmed. The Ghost Emperor's incident still needed to be dealt with, and the association's workload had also begun to soar recently. It was almost May or June, and various things had to be arranged...
When Vice President Ding thought about the many things that would happen later, he wanted to quit, but in the end he closed his eyes and sighed.
Alas, she can’t quit her position just because she wants to. Those old guys won’t let her go.
However, just when Vice President Ding opened his eyes and was about to return to his workstation, he discovered that there was suddenly one more person in the small garden below.
Isn't that Lu Shi next to Ye Wangxing? What is he doing standing there?
Vice President Ding was thinking with some doubts, but he found that Lu Shi’s expression was completely different from that in front of Ye Wangxing.
——Vice President Ding swore with her eyes that had always been immersed in spiritual energy and had a visual acuity of 2.0 or even 3.0 that she was definitely not mistaken.
If Lu Shi's expression in front of Ye Wangxing was that of a pitiful big cat that could throw a tantrum at any time, then his expression now was like a feline killer that had found its prey.
And he was talking to the person on the other end of the phone with headphones. Vice President Ding narrowed his eyes, turned around and quickly asked the people in the network department to call up the background of the signal base station.
This was the only time the old-timers in the association agreed to cooperate with the authorities on a project.
There are many magic arrays in this signal base station, which are used to monitor who is using their signal tower. This magic array can just cover the entire religious association, thus ensuring its safety.
but……
There was no access signal base station displayed at Lu Shi's location.
This means that either Lu Shi did not make another call, or Lu Shi was not using the signal tower here.
—Who is he contacting on the satellite phone?
Vice President Ding frowned fiercely and forced himself to suppress the urge to capture Lu Shi.
The more times like this, the more they cannot alert the enemy. They have to find out why Lu Shi is with Ye Wangxing and whether he will do anything bad to the association.
Coincidentally, at this time, Master Li was also asking Ye Wangxing questions about Lu Shi.
The boy, who was as weak as a stick, suddenly jumped up from his seat and cried out his injustice in front of his master.
"——Master, Lu Shi and I are really just father and son! God knows why Lu Shi would come out and talk about child marriage at that time!"
When Ye Wangxing jumped up, Master Li subconsciously pushed him down to his seat and put his fingers in front of his mouth to hush him.
"It was so hard to calm that guy down, and you really wanted him to come in and find you."
Master Li said in a low voice.
Ye Wangxing immediately sat down in his seat with his head drooped.
Master Li looked at it and sighed.
Just now he wanted to talk to Ye Wangxing, but the Ghost Emperor seemed to have no idol burden at all and floated over like an ordinary female ghost.
Fortunately, after being yelled at by Ye Wangxing, he stayed in his seat outside the door obediently.
Li Guanzhu, who watched the whole process, said: …
Although this man's half-smile and the black aura on his body made him look formidable, and just glancing at him would make Master Li break out in a cold sweat - but why did Master Li always feel that his arrogance was suppressed by his own disciple?
"Master, I really didn't play with other people's feelings..."
Ye Wangxing's words brought Master Li back to his senses, and after hearing his apprentice's words, he felt relieved.
It seems that it is just the wishful thinking of those people. As for his apprentice himself...
Putting aside the question of whether it is straight or not, his apprentice himself has not yet figured it out. No matter how hard those people try, it will be in vain.
As long as his apprentice himself does not play with other people's feelings, these relationships will be much easier to handle.
Thinking of this, Master Li felt much more relaxed. He patted Ye Wangxing's shoulder soothingly and said.
"Good disciple, I know you are not that kind of person. I just want to confirm that you really don't have that kind of relationship with them."
Ye Wangxing said aggrievedly, "How could it be related? Dalu was a straight man before today. Who knew he would suddenly come up with something like a child marriage? Those who knew he wanted to save me, but those who didn't thought he was going to sue me for bigamy."
Master Li also guided his little disciple patiently and finally figured out the whole picture of the matter from his little disciple's perspective.
Regarding the Ghost Emperor, his little disciple still doesn't know why the Ghost Emperor suddenly signed a heart-to-heart contract with him. He doesn't even know why the Ghost Emperor said what he said before.
However, he agreed with the speculation about past and present lives.
Yu Yi had a better explanation. This child simply saw that his benefactor's friend was planning to use some kind of child marriage to save his benefactor. He also slapped his forehead and said what the third room said.
"Yu Yi is just trying to repay a favor, he doesn't really have any feelings towards me, Master, don't treat him as an enemy."
Ye Wangxing said seriously, "Don't use any magic to monitor him. He is just an ordinary person and will be far away from our world. Don't scare the child into having a psychological trauma."
Li Guanzhu recalled Yu Yi's series of performances at the scene: ...
Disciple, I really cannot agree with you on this point.
Based on your master's many years of experience, he always feels that the guy is not a good person.
However, Master Li Guan did not say it out loud. After all, his disciple was an upright person and he naturally liked to think the best of others.
——Anyway, even if that kid can’t find his family, Master Li will have to get rid of this kid by holding Vice President Ding’s arms and asking him for funding.
"As for Lu Shi..."
Ye Wangxing paused slightly when he spoke of Lu Shishi, then turned his head away and said, "He and I have known each other since childhood, how could I not know what that guy wants to do? As soon as he opens his mouth, I know what he is going to say next."
"How could I not know that his actions at that time were intended to save me?"
Looking at Ye Wangxing's appearance, although Master Li still felt that something was wrong, he still let his apprentice go.
After all, his disciple had never lied before, and the magic weapon just now had no effect, which showed that his disciple was telling the truth and had no guilty conscience.
This also made Master Li breathe a sigh of relief. He comforted his little disciple who was circling around him in the room again, and then began to tell him about the next task that would be handed over to him.
"...Let me go to the old execution ground in Lihua District and deal with the evil spirits there?"
Ye Wangxing frowned as he looked at the location and said with some surprise.
"I have Xie Yu with me now. Does the higher-up trust me so much that I can take him with me?"
How is this any different than walking around with a nuclear warhead?
No, a nuclear warhead can also be used as a bulletproof device. It cannot explode without a rigorous triggering facility. That must be nitroglycerin.
——God knows how tiny an impact would cause it to explode.
Upon hearing his apprentice's doubts, Master Li also complained, "Who said it wasn't true? But you also know that those old-fashioned ideas of the higher-ups are really dug out from the coffin. At this moment, they are still thinking of testing the Ghost Emperor."
"Don't try too hard. Just remember that you are here just to slack off. If the Ghost Emperor asks you about this, just say that this mission is just to test him..."
Master Li gave a lot of rambling instructions and was really worried.
The boy in front of him also listened to his master's words seriously, nodding when necessary and shaking his head when necessary, which made Master Li Guan feel more soft-hearted.
What a wonderful disciple he is! Nowadays, there are more and more disciples with personality. He is probably the only one in the entire religious association who is so well-behaved and obedient and doesn't cause trouble.
——Unfortunately, I was targeted by a real ghost.
Master Li felt unhappy no matter how he thought about it, and thought with a look of regret.
He was about to leave the room, when Ye Wangxing looked out the window and suddenly asked.
"Master, do you think... would someone take over the body of an ordinary person just to obtain the secrets of a religious association?"
Ye Wangxing's voice was unusually cold, and Master Li also felt that something was wrong with his disciple, but he temporarily put it in his heart and said.
"It is indeed possible. Something like this has happened in the association before. It seems that it was done by a member of the Zhou family who was expelled from the Zhou family. Many ordinary people suffered that time. The entire association was completely replaced, and dozens of tombstones were erected..."
Speaking of that incident, Master Li's voice also dropped, but then he rubbed his face and asked, "Disciple, why are you asking this?"
"Master, I'm fine. I'm just a little curious. I dealt with Master Zhou Tianning before, so I wanted to ask."
However, Master Li clearly saw Ye Wangxing looking at someone outside the window, but he did not expose him. He just silently included that person in the observation list.
That person...seems to be the good friend that his apprentice just rescued.
Who is he talking to?
"Boss, how long are you going to spend with your childhood friend? It's almost as long as spending time with your girlfriend! We've been so busy these days. Next month will be May or June, and cases are increasing across the country. You're going to take your annual leave now. Are you waiting to come back and collect our bodies, boss?"
Guo Sheng shouted to the boss on the other end of the phone like he was howling.
The man on the other end of the phone just said with a smile: "If you really feel that this job is tiring, I will report to the previous department and transfer you off the front line."
"Boss, I was wrong. I shouldn't have complained, Boss Lu."
Guo Sheng immediately slid to his knees.
Fortunately, Lu Shi on the other end of the phone was just joking, and then he said: "Okay, stop crying, I will probably be back the day after tomorrow."
Guo Sheng and his colleagues were about to cheer when they heard the news, but Lu Shi on the other end of the phone stopped them in time.
"Don't be too happy yet. Just because I go back the day after tomorrow doesn't mean I'll start working the day after tomorrow."
Guo Sheng looked at the task forms that had already piled up in front of him and asked tremblingly, "Boss Lu, what do you mean by that..."
"There will be a mission tomorrow, at the old execution ground in Lihua District."
After listening to Lu Shi's words, Guo Sheng immediately searched the computer, but only found a task that had been completed.
"It seems that there is only one completed task in the boss's place."
"Yes, it is a task that has been solved, but who says there can't be tricks involved?"
Lu Shi said in a cold voice.
"Ye Wangxing will also be there tomorrow. The Religious Association has approved his mission application. The Ghost Emperor beside him will also be there. Remember to do a good job of intelligence work to prevent the Ghost Emperor from causing any trouble."
Guo Sheng immediately realized that this matter was very important, and his expression became serious. They had received the news that a Ghost Emperor suddenly appeared beside Boss Lu's childhood friend and had not left.
Although the specific details of the matter are unknown, the birth of a Ghost Emperor is enough to sound the alarm for all relevant departments.
——Besides, anything that could make Lu Shi, a smiling tiger, quiet down must be very big.
"And if I'm not mistaken, there should be more than one group of them there tomorrow. Please remember to be prepared for safety work. The situation may not be as optimistic as we think."
Lu Shi hung up the phone after he finished speaking, and Guo Sheng on the other end of the phone immediately gave the order and set up surveillance on the ancient execution ground over there in advance.
And a day later, Guo Sheng personally led the team to support the battle.
Behind him were all kinds of experimental weapons that they had developed during this period, waiting to be used.
The soldiers from the relevant departments behind him also had very serious expressions. It depended on them whether they could use this incident to shake up the position of the religious association.
The official authorities have been completely suppressed by religious associations in recent years, especially because of some historical reasons, the official authorities also owe some debts to the heavenly masters of the religious associations.
Even though their status has begun to be recognized in recent years, they still dare not trust the authorities wholeheartedly.
The official finally found a good talent like Lu Shi, so naturally they would provide the resources and the people.
However, what they didn't expect was that their boss Lu went home to visit his relatives, and within a month, his childhood friend became a Taoist priest, and was also a disciple of Li Guanzhu, a very influential person in the religious association.
His talent is still amazing, which makes the authorities feel a little regretful. Why didn’t they investigate such a good seedling like Ye Wangxing?
The entire relevant department also knew that Minister Lu had a childhood friend who was so talented that his superiors were jealous of him and encouraged him to change jobs every day.
For this reason, they were quite curious about this person, especially since the religious association, in their view, had a status similar to that of feudal remnants.
While waiting in the car, Guo Sheng's colleague yawned and asked curiously.
"…But then again, something seemed to have happened at the religious association yesterday. The entire religious association was under martial law, and Minister Lu had to use a satellite phone to contact us. What happened yesterday?"
A colleague asked curiously.
Guo Sheng was actually just as curious. After all, after he had finished talking to his boss on the phone yesterday, he immediately started setting up the scene and had no time to be curious.
At this time, Tian Li, who was in charge of the report, came in with a stack of reports. Her expression was blank, which scared Guo Sheng at the time.
"Hey, Auntie Tian, why are you still here? Didn't I tell you to go home and get some rest? You're almost retired, why are you working with a bunch of night owls like us?"
However, when Auntie Tian came to her senses, she waved her hand and said, "How can I compete with you youngsters? I went home at 8 o'clock last night and took a nap. I came here this morning."
"Then I received a report from your Minister Lu early in the morning about what happened yesterday. My heart had just been healed, and I was really scared."
Aunt Tian handed the report to their desk while covering her chest.
Guo Sheng and the others were a little confused at first, but after seeing the contents of the report, their hearts, which had been up all night, could no longer bear it, and they immediately fell into the chair, holding their chests.
After a while, they finally recovered, but Aunt Tian also gave each of them a sip of ginseng water.
They looked at each other, their eyes filled with shock at the report.
It would be fine if the Ghost Emperor came out and made a covenant with humans, but why would it be that Ye Wangxing?
And why did Lu Shi use the four words "persistent" when describing the mutual agreement between Ghost Emperor and Ye Wangxing?
——Why did he proudly write in the report that he used the child marriage to prevent Ghost Emperor and Ye Wangxing from getting a marriage certificate?
Why did you still behave obediently after being scolded by your childhood friend?
After reading this report, Guo Sheng and his friends were so shocked that they thought Lu Shi was joking with them.
But when they finally caught up with Ye Wangxing who came here, they immediately overturned all their previous ideas.
——Who is that strong little white flower who is trying to suppress her worry? Who is the person who can defeat a whole company of ghosts by herself, but still stands obediently in the magic circle set up by Master Ye?
The Ghost Emperor who had blown up several of their sensors couldn't stand it anymore!
The entire surveillance car was in shock.
Even the shadows at the doorway of the old execution ground seemed to shrink in shock.
Zhou Tianning, who was standing at the gate of the execution ground with a group of people following him, was also in disbelief.
He looked at Ye Wangxing who was comforting the ordinary person, and slowly put a question mark in his mind.
——Tang Fang, you bastard said you would keep this matter secret?
