Chapter 25 Chapter 25 Wei Xin decided to be nice to him today...

Wei Xin returned to Xuanji Sect on his own and discussed the Ghost King's birthday banquet with Elder Yin.

"The birthday gifts are ready." Elder Yin held out a pile of gift boxes. "My Lord, do you think these are okay?"

Wei Xin opened them and examined them one by one: "No, they are too expensive, he doesn't deserve them."

"Then according to your Lordship's wishes, what should we give as a gift?"

Wei Xin pondered for a moment, then patted the table and said, "I remember I brought back a bone flute before. Go find it."

"But isn't that the raw material... that you pulled from someone else? Wouldn't it be inappropriate to just give it to him like this?" Elder Yin said embarrassedly.

"Isn't it good that the property has been returned to its original owner?" Wei Xin asked. "Besides, he is a poor man and he has the nerve to hold a birthday banquet with great fanfare. It's good enough that I am willing to go to honor him. Do you still expect to get treasures from me?"

"Although the Ghost Luomen is no longer what it used to be, your cultivation is not as good as before. You should try not to anger the Ghost King. It is better to have one more friend than one more enemy." Elder Yin warned earnestly.

Wei Xin didn't want to listen to him anymore, so he waved his hand and said, "Okay, I got it."

"Then why don't you reply to this invitation in person? Remember to speak gently and kindly, and don't say anything provocative."

Wei Xin took the paper and pen handed to him and wrote a 500-word article praising his virtue on it.

After reading it, Elder Yin was very impressed: "My Lord, you are becoming more and more like a master of a sect. You can write so well. How did you do it?"

"......"

You can go to the Qingguan Sect and listen to those old guys talk about the history and achievements of the Qingguan Sect. They guarantee you will learn it.

Elder Yin sent out the reply and said with relief: "The Ghost King will be very happy when he sees this reply."

Little did they know that Gui Luomen, thousands of miles away, was already in a state of danger.

"It's a fraud, absolutely a fraud!" The Ghost King carefully read every word in the reply. They were all good words, but what did these good words have to do with him?

"If I believed his lies, I would be an idiot!"

*

Wei Xin set off the day before the birthday banquet.

This time he only brought Xique with him, leaving Dongying in the sect to continue gathering information from all sides for him.

When going down the mountain, I saw a green figure in front of me.

He warned Xique: "Don't say anything more about this person when you return."

"I understand." Xique looked at the person in front of him meaningfully and lowered his head.

The two walked forward, and Yun Du smiled slightly: "Who is this handsome man?"

Xique blushed and dared not say a word.

Wei Xin frowned: "What are you doing? Are you still trying to tease him?"

"I'm innocent. I just saw that he has an upright figure, regular facial features, a pair of sharp eyebrows and a spirited look. I didn't expect that the people from your Xuanji Sect are so outstanding." Yun Du said with a smile.

Xique's face turned even redder.

Wei Xin couldn't stop looking at him. Why didn't he notice that this boy was so shy before? He asked tentatively, "Not only that, his appearance would make Pan An ashamed. Look at his big eyes, his high nose, and his..."

Xique's face was already red enough to look like blood.

Wei Xin and Yun Du looked at each other for a while and then laughed at the same time.

“My Lord, wait for me!” Nan Huang’s voice came from not far away.

Wei Xin turned around and asked: "What are you doing here?"

“Elder Yin was afraid that you wouldn’t be able to handle the Ghost King’s sister, so he sent me here. We’re all women, so it will be easier to deal with her when the time comes,” Nan Huang said.

Wei Xin is in a dilemma——

Xu Shun is in Canghe. If he brings Nanhuang along, who knows, when the two meet, the ending in the book may happen again.

But the Ghost King’s sister… Nan Huang’s personality is quite suitable for dealing with her.

Just as he was struggling, Yun Du said, "Then let's go together."

Wei Xin asked him quietly, "Why?"

"It's more lively. Three people would be quite deserted. Four people would be just right for playing Pai Gow in our spare time." Yun Du said reasonably.

"......"

Wei Xin glanced at Nan Huang, who was looking anxious, and said, "Then let's go together."

“Thank you, my Lord!” Nan Huang joined in happily, and his favor and admiration for Yun Du increased even more.

At the same time, she couldn't help but feel lucky for her own intelligence - she was the first one to discover this thigh that would make the Lord nod his head!

Xique set up his formation on the spot, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived at Canghe Prefecture.

Compared with Yunlai Town at the foot of Qingguanzong Mountain, Canghe Prefecture has a vast territory, but it is desolate and barren, and looks bleak.

The wide streets were lined with ghost shops on both sides and were deserted. Paper money was scattered on the road and the air was filled with a rotten and desolate smell.

“My Lord, should we go directly to Gui Luomen or find a place to stay first?” Nan Huang asked.

"Of course, I'll stay for one night first."

Otherwise I wouldn't have come here a day in advance.

There is only one inn here, and there is only one vacant room left.

“It’s such a big inn, there are hardly any people on the street, but there’s only one room left?!” Nan Huang questioned.

"Yes, the room is definitely not full at normal times, but it is the Ghost King's birthday tomorrow, and many people have come to congratulate him. You can stay if you want, but if you don't want to, please leave." said the shopkeeper.

Nan Huang turned his head to look at the Lord and asked, "Lord, do you want me to kill a few people to free up the room?"

"Forget it, we are here to congratulate, not to bring business to these underworld shops." Wei Xin said.

Nan Huang nodded and said, "One room is enough. Xique and I will guard outside."

"What about him?" Wei Xin pointed at Yun Du.

"Doesn't he live with the Lord?"

"?"

What's with that matter-of-fact tone of yours?

"I think so." Yun Du nodded solemnly.

"...I can't watch it." Wei Xin said, "I want to live alone."

"But have you got any money?"

"Silver?"

Yundu took out his wallet and handed it to the shopkeeper: "I want that room."

"Okay, sir, please follow me." The shopkeeper immediately greeted him with a smile and hurriedly led the way.

Yun Du Chongwei Xin smiled slightly and went upstairs.

Wei Xin's teeth itched with hatred. He turned to look at his two subordinates and said, "Don't you have any silver?!"

"Well... we don't often need silver. If we really need it, we always just rob it. We don't have the habit of paying for it ourselves." Nan Huang said.

"Who told you to rob? Was it Elder Yin?!"

“It seems to be a tradition that has been passed down for thousands of years?”

"Screw the tradition, just do your job honestly from now on!" Wei Xin regretted not bringing Dong Ying out.

Dong Ying was often out gathering information, so he knew to carry some money with him for emergencies. The last time I took him out, he had never encountered such trouble.

"Yes! I'll go get the silver now!"

"You have to make honest money, don't use crooked means." Wei Xin warned.

“As you wish!” Nan Huang walked out with the sword in hand.

Wei Xin looked at Xi Que again. Xi Que stared at him for a long time, and finally understood: "My subordinates are gone too!"

After sending all his men away, Wei Xin shamelessly went to find Yun Du.

"I have provided you with food and drink for so long in Xuanji Sect. Let me stay in this room for one night."

"No problem." Yun Du said generously, "Do you want to use the bed or the beam?"

"Beams?"

"Don't like it? Then you can ask Xiao Wai to add a couch."

"Bah! How can I, a dignified Demon Lord, sleep on the beams and couch? I want a bed!"

"No problem. There's nothing wrong with sharing a bed."

"Shared?"

"Yes, you want to use the bed, and I want to use the bed too, so we have to share it. We are good friends, is there any problem?"

"This is a huge problem! Aren't you a traitor?!"

"It's true that I am a cleavage-sleeve man, but I don't have to cut off my sleeves for every man I sleep with." Yun Du walked to his side with a smile and asked in a low voice, "Or do you think that your charm is so great that I can't help but do something indecent to you?"

“…” Damn it, there is no way to refute it.

Wei Xin couldn't help but start to reflect on himself - was he too narcissistic?

Even if he is not a traitor, he will not fall in love with every woman he meets. At least he won't do that.

Thinking of this, he felt relieved: "It's best not to have this thought."

Yundu brewed a pot of tea and said, "Let's talk business first. What is your relationship with the Ghost King?"

"Generally, he wants to kill me and take my place, but he doesn't have the ability to do so," Wei Xin said.

“It’s hard to say now.”

Wei Xin glanced at him, and this was why he agreed to let Yun Du come along.

In the book, he discussed Taoism with the Ghost King, but it was not during the birthday banquet, and he was not injured, so there was naturally no danger to himself.

But now my cultivation is not as good as before. If the Ghost King uses any tricks, at least there is Yun Du who can help.

......Strange, at this time, the first person he thought of was Yun Du.

He looked at Yun Du with curiosity for a few times, and suddenly realized that he trusted his character and ability.

trust.

This feeling is also very fresh.

He even questioned his closest elder Yin and his followers, yet he dared to trust someone he had just met. Wasn't it a bit too strange?

He thought about it, and a sentence suddenly echoed in his mind: We are friends, I will trust you unconditionally.

From Yundu's mouth.

It was just a casual remark, but I had unknowingly memorized it in my heart.

Recalling the scene at that time, Wei Xin decided to be nice to him today.

"Drink some tea." Yundu handed the tea to him, "How does it taste?"

Wei Xin picked it up, drank it all in one gulp, and then spat out two pieces of tea leaves.

“It’s not good.”

"Would you like to try the Yunpian cake that the waiter brought over?" Yundu handed over another piece of cake.

Wei Xin took it, ate it in one gulp, then licked his teeth, picked up the teapot and poured it into his mouth: "Why is it so sticky to my teeth, and it tastes like ashes."

"Then I won't eat it." Yundu immediately withdrew his hand that was about to take the cake.

"......You're using me as a food taster, right?!"

Yun Du said straightly, "Yes."

Wei Xin clenched his teeth, took a deep breath, and said to himself: Don’t be angry, don’t be angry, keep a good face, keep a good face!

"When are you going to see Xu Shun?" he asked.

"Of course not now. He is fine. Why should I look for him? There are enough people playing Pai Gow." Yun Du said.

"You're only thinking about Pai Gow, right?"

"Not entirely. There's also you."

"Um?"

"Decision."

"......" Wei Xin rolled his eyes, "What decision?"

"Where are you going to sleep tonight?"

Wei Xin looked around and said, "You can sleep wherever you want. I don't need a place to meditate."

Yundu patted his thigh.

Wei Xin narrowed his eyes.

Yun Du raised his head, faced his fiery eyes, and said blankly: "Is it not okay for me to brush off the dust?"

"......"

Wei Xin took a deep breath and said to himself: Don’t be angry, don’t be angry, keep a good face, keep a good face!

"By the way, is the Feather Pointing Technique you used last time still effective?" Wei Xin asked.

Yundu stood up and walked to the window, shot down a wild goose, plucked a goose feather, chanted a spell in his palm, and stretched out his hand to him.

Wei Xin looked at him for a few seconds, then stretched out a hand and placed it on his palm.

The talisman burned in the palms of both men's hands.

“My Lord! We have something important to do—” Nan Huang pushed open the door and saw the two men, one sitting and one standing, holding hands. His eyes widened, and he immediately stepped out and closed the door.

Wei Xin: “…”

[How do we explain this?] Yundu used the Feather Pointing Technique to talk to him.

Wei Xin replied: [What's there to explain? Who cares what they think? How long can your magic last?]

【Three hours.】

Wei Xin withdrew his hand, opened the door, and looked at the two men outside the door with their eyes closed: "What happened?"

Nan Huang was the first to open his eyes. He glanced at Yun Du before saying, "When we were collecting the corpse for money just now, we ran into the Gui Luomen people who were collecting the corpse. We accidentally heard that the Ghost King was holding this birthday banquet and invited many good men to come. The main purpose was to recruit a brother-in-law!"

Wei Xin turned around and tried to escape, but was stopped by Yun Du who grabbed him by the waist.

"You can't run away. Since you can't escape, you might as well face it directly. Look at the bright side, he has also invited many competitors for you." Yun Du said.

"He is gathering a crowd to fight me!" Wei Xin said, "If I lose, I will be dead. If I win, I will be dead too. Let me go!"

“It is said that the dowry was from a ghost monk.” Nan Huang added.

Wei Xin suddenly stopped, turned around and asked, "Ghost Luomen?"

"Yes, whoever marries his sister can inherit the position of leader of Guiluo Sect."

"It's interesting." Wei Xin touched his chin and thought.

A chilly gaze came from the side.

Yun Du quietly leaned close to his ear and asked in a cool voice, "Don't you want to leave?"

"I'm not leaving anymore."

Wei Xin immediately decided to stay and watch the show. He whispered something in Xique's ear with great interest, and Xique left.

He turned to Nan Huang and whispered something, and then Nan Huang left.

Then he turned to Yundu's ear and whispered, "Who allowed you to talk to me with such eyes and tone?!!!"

Yun Du covered his ears which were almost numbed by the yelling, smiled, and coaxed in a low voice: "Let's go back to the house, there are people watching downstairs."

"Who dares to look?!"

Wei Xin turned his head and looked downstairs, and met a pair of eyes with clear black and white.

Black is the black of the pupil, and white is the white of the bones.

This person had a half human face and half withered bones. He had a weird smile on his face: "Wei Xin, how are you?"
