Chapter 147 The Ghost Master is Feng Jiu
Once Chen Qi finished speaking, the oath between heaven and earth immediately took effect.
"Then my friend will come with me."
You Fujun silently stepped back.
What are you saying, silly child? I've already said I won't get involved in the affairs of the siblings.
Shen Qi remained expressionless: "The Ghost Lord only invited you."
Su Yao: ...Why is this person so difficult to deal with?
"Fine, I'll go," Su Yao gritted her teeth. "Xiao Jun, Ming He, you two go back first. Remember to save me if I don't come back tonight."
You Fujun's eyes instantly filled with worry, and she nodded solemnly, just like Yue Minghe, who felt he was shouldering a heavy responsibility.
Because Shen Qi, as the head of the Ghost Market in Fansu City, was quite familiar with these mentors and high-ranking officials in the Central Spirit Realm, he stayed behind to handle the aftermath.
Su Yao followed Cang Dan to the private room where the Ghost Master was. She kept an eye on her surroundings the whole way, so she could escape if anything went wrong.
Although she has had a long-standing cooperative relationship with the Ghost Market through her elixirs, she shouldn't be at the point of resorting to murder, but one can't be too afraid of the unexpected.
Along the way, she didn't forget to strike up conversations to try and extract information, such as how old the Ghost Lord was, what he looked like, and what his name was.
But all of this was met with an "I don't know."
Su Yao was unwilling to give up and continued to try: "...Isn't the Ghost Lord your top boss? How come you don't know anything about him? If someone were to impersonate the Ghost Lord, would you be able to recognize him?"
Cang Dan endured it. Why did this child that the Ghost Lord had taken a liking to talk so much? The key was that he couldn't answer. "Then I can still recognize him. The Ghost Market has its own methods. Don't ask what those methods are. I can't tell you."
Su Yao pouted, and seeing that she couldn't get anything out of him, she behaved herself: "Oh."
Upon arriving at the private room, there stood a stern-faced child by the door—it was Qiu Yin.
Cang Dan finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw him, and said to Su Yao, "You can go in with him, I'm leaving."
Su Yao waved to him and looked at Qiu Yin with a smile: "Little friend, could you please pass on the message for me?"
It's really strange that this child has only reached the peak of Qi Refining at this age. He can only be considered a genius in the lower spirit realm. He wouldn't be considered good enough in the middle spirit realm. Does the Ghost Lord actually have someone like this by his side?
Qiu Yin responded solemnly, led Su Yao inside, and then withdrew.
The Ghost Lord said that this person has a very high talent for alchemy and wants to discuss business in person, so he should not be disturbed.
Su Yu was the only one in the private room at the moment. The other leaders had wisely left when he said he wanted to talk to someone.
Su Yu noticed the commotion outside the door and immediately corrected her posture, which was leaning back in her chair. At the same time, System Xiao Qi abruptly disconnected the screen sharing of the Tom and Jerry cartoon.
He originally intended to rush over immediately after receiving You Fujun's message, but as soon as he moved, the four captains, Cuihua, and Qiu Yin noticed his direction and asked him what he needed.
At this point, Cang Dan and Shen Qi both returned after refusing, so there were a total of four leaders.
Yes, he's the Ghost Lord now. The Ghost Lord only needs to give orders.
Wearing this outfit means doing what needs to be done and maintaining the proper image; he has professional ethics.
But he still tentatively mentioned it, of course, slowly and calmly: "That group of people who just left seemed to be bullying the kids."
"Cuihua, do you want to go out and fly?"
So Cuihua flew away, and Shenqi and Cangdan applied to go and resolve the remaining issues.
Su Yu naturally agreed and proposed to bring Su Yao back so he could personally discuss the pill business.
With the emphasis on the word "personally," the remaining leaders also left, presumably still pondering just how powerful Su Yao's alchemy talent was that the Ghost Lord wanted to personally discuss business with her.
As for Qiu Yin, seeing that the other leaders had all left, he volunteered to guard the gate for Su Yu.
Su Yu, not wanting to dampen the child's enthusiasm, naturally agreed.
So when Su Yao arrived, he was the only one in the room.
Su Yao cautiously sat in the seat furthest away from Su Yu.
Su Yu remained silent until she was seated before asking, "Do I look scary?"
Ever since he discovered that Su Yao had been scared away by him at the underground arena in the ghost market, this question had been weighing on Su Yu's mind for a long time.
Su Yao quickly glanced at the masked man.
Hmm, his eyes were calm and harmless, he was dressed entirely in black and covered completely by a mask, his aura was restrained but still somewhat dangerous, and his upright posture gave off a strange sense of déjà vu...
Like a parent preparing to have a heart-to-heart talk with their child?
Are you kidding me? She has parents, okay?
Su Yao snapped out of her daze, quickly forgetting her unfounded associations, and launched into a string of compliments: "How could that be? Lord Ghost Lord is just awe-inspiring and intimidating. People who find you frightening are simply afraid to delve into your magnanimous heart. For example, you would never hold a grudge against me for what happened yesterday, right?"
Su Yu's voice carried a hint of amusement: "What happened yesterday?"
Of course, it's about her giving the Ghost Lord her little finger yesterday.
Who knew that this masked person was the Ghost Lord? When she saw him in the Ghost Market before, she thought he was just a customer of the Ghost Market.
“Yesterday,” Su Yao coughed lightly, then quickly changed her words, “nothing happened yesterday, please don’t mind my nonsense, Ghost Lord.”
"Hahahaha," Su Yu couldn't help but laugh out loud. Seeing Su Yao's somewhat confused and wary look, he waved his hand and changed to Feng Jiu's voice, "Why are you so nervous, Miss Su? Aren't we friends?"
He took the initiative to relax, so that the atmosphere would not be so tense.
“I carried you all the way that day, and it’s a little sad that Miss Su is still so wary of me.”
Even though her suspicions came true, Su Yao didn't relax, even though she knew Feng Jiu meant her no harm.
She said almost with certainty, "You approached me on purpose. What's your purpose?"
Since the other party seemed friendly, Su Yao didn't want to beat around the bush and asked directly.
"My purpose is this," Su Yu regained her original tone, "I think you look a bit like my sister, don't you think? She likes you a lot too, so I'm here to make friends with you first."
Su Yao smiled: "Really? So you have a younger sister too."
"Then what is your relationship with my brother Su Yu?"
So you asked that? It seems like the grown-up Ayao is a bit tricky.
Su Yu fell into a brief silence.
"Hmm?" Su Yao narrowed her eyes and stood up. "We're all friends, it's just the two of us, why are you wearing masks? Masks aren't breathable and are bad for your skin. How about I take them off for you?"
At the same time, Xiao Qi was frantically pacing around in his mind's eye, screaming in despair:
Su Yu was having a headache from the two of them. She covered her mask and leaned back, her mind racing.
