Chapter 0123 – One Operation – Absolute Return

Because he’s not a bad guy.

If but one of the Ghost Spirit and Lin Xiang was a bad person, their marriage would not have turned into a hell on earth. Because, there was always one person who would choose to leave or simply kill the other.

The problem is that they are both ordinary people. In the day-to-day trivial life, they gradually developed feelings for each other. Although there would be quarrels and conflicts, they chose to endure and settle for less, until finally, the marriage turned into a nightmare that neither of them wanted to look back on.

“Please come in, both of you, the wine and food are ready, please take your seats first.”

Li Anheart and I followed Ghost Spirit into the inner courtyard, and Xu Ran followed.

“This way, both of you.”

I’m going to set up Xu Ran and Li An heart.

“Heart, let me introduce to you, this Miss Xu Ran, is the best candidate to be the leader of my Ghost Shadow Guard’s second group.” As I walked, I secretly transmitted my voice to Heart.

“Huh?” Heart was clearly taken aback by my words.

“Think about it, if you had a team leader in your Ghost Shadow Guard who was proficient in ghost arts, how powerful would that be?”

“That would be awesome! Not to mention, our team’s name originally had the word ‘ghost’ in it!”

“It’s up to you whether or not you want to take her under your wing.”

I’ve always had full trust in my heart, so she didn’t press me on why I picked Xu Ran.

I turned my head to Xu Ran and said, “Congratulations, Miss Xu, your brother is finally going to have a family.”

“Thanks! I thought that my brother wouldn’t be able to get a wife in his life.” Xu Ran laughed brightly, not feeling the least bit constrained because I was a stranger.

“How could it be? Mr. Xu is so talented and knowledgeable, how could anyone not like him?” Heart said with a smile as well.

“He ah, he’s just a nerd.” Xu Ran skimmed his mouth.

I can feel that Xu Ran is very fond of hearts. This was also expected.

Xu Ran loved all beautiful things, whether it was beautiful women, flowers, or fancy clothes and jewelry, she loved them all. This is a stark contrast to her free-spirited and uninhibited character. Perhaps this is her deepest desire for a better life.

“I’ve only heard of ghost magic before, but I’ve never seen it with my own eyes.” Heart said curiously.

“It’s simple.”

As Xu Ran spoke, she stopped and raised her right hand. Only a wisp of black gas slowly rose from her palm, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a lifelike viper.

Although this viper was only illusory from black gas, it exuded a gloomy aura, as if it would turn into a real viper at any time and choose to devour people.

“Whoosh–“

The black snake suddenly lunged toward the heart.

However, before the black snake could get close, it turned into a wisp of green smoke and dissipated into the air.

“That’s awesome!” Heart couldn’t help but exclaim.

“You’re actually not scared at all?” Xu Ran was a bit surprised.

“Because I can sense that you don’t mean any harm.”

Xu Ran glanced deeply at Heart, a trace of a strange color flashing in his eyes. Even if she hadn’t released her killing aura, an ordinary person would subconsciously feel fear when they saw a poisonous snake lunging towards them, but Heart was acting unusually calm.

“Can you change again? I want to see it again.”

“Okay, I’ll show you something even better this time.”

I think that Xu Ran and Heart should be able to get along well. They’re both the kind of girls who are straightforward, unpretentious, and know how to think of others.

It would be great if both Green Face and Xu Ran could join my Ghost Shadow Guard.

When the time comes, let Qingmian be the leader of the first group, responsible for coordinating the whole situation, and then let Xu Ran be the leader of the second group, responsible for enlivening the atmosphere, it’s fun just thinking about it.

However, this was not an easy task. After all, Qingmian was a member of the Devil’s Way, and Xu Ran was the jewel of the Ghost Sect Master.

When we arrived at the lobby, there were already a few guests seated, and one after another, more guests arrived. Some of them were friends of Ghost Spirit, and some of them were friends of Lin Xiang.

Only after everyone had arrived did Ghost Spirit and Lin Xiang walk into the lobby hand in hand.

The crowd raised their glasses and wished the couple a hundred years of happiness.

Most of the guests were disciples of famous sects, so they were polite and restrained.

But there was one exception, and that was Zhou Ming, who was a family friend of the Xu family and Lin Xiang’s childhood friend. He had been slack-jawed from the moment he entered the room, clearly displeased with the marriage.

Is it the alcohol, or is it because of love?

He went so far as to say to Lin Xiang in front of Ghost Spirit Zi, “Miss Lin, with all due respect, I really can’t give you guys my blessing.”

“Why?” Lin Xiang asked in disbelief.

“If you’re a martial artist, you should find a martial artist to marry, so there won’t be so much trouble.”

Hearing these words, Ghost Spirit’s face instantly sank. What’s more, Zhou Ming had spoken these words in front of him, which was clearly not putting him in his eyes.

“Our Ghost Sect is also a member of the Jianghu.” Ghost Spirit Son held back his anger and patiently explained.

“Who would think of your Ghost Sect as a member of the Jianghu?” Zhou Ming sneered.

“What do you mean by that? We, the Ghost Sect, have done a great deal to rid the Jianghu of violence, so on what grounds are you talking about us like that?”

“Mr. Xu, do you dare to say that those spells of your Ghost Sect are all righteous techniques?”

Ghost Spirit Zi was stumped, he had never thought about this question and didn’t know how to answer it.

“Evil devils and foreigners, everyone must be punished!”

“If that’s the case, then come and give it a try ah, let’s see if you get rid of me, or if I beat you to death!” A crisp voice resounded in the lobby.

The one who spoke was none other than Xu Ran. Her willow eyebrows rose up as she glared angrily at Zhou Ming, a look that reminded me of when we were in the jungle together.

As soon as Xu Ran’s words fell, a black mist rose around Zhou Ming.

“What is it?”

Zhou Ming was startled and hastily drew his longsword, looking around vigilantly.

I could see that Zhou Ming was hallucinating before his eyes. A vicious ghost with a hideous face and green fangs was lunging towards him with its teeth and claws open. The evil ghost’s appearance was so terrifying that even I, a bystander, felt a chill down my spine.

A method to break it appeared in my mind, a product of the combination of the “Blood Eye Pupil Technique” and the “Divine Mind Technique”.

Zhou Ming waved his longsword and slashed haphazardly, at this rate, it was likely to injure the innocent.

Seeing this, Xu Ran hastily lifted the spell.

Only then did Zhou Ming realize that he had been caught in the Ghost Sect’s illusion. Although he knew that it was only an illusion, his body wielded the longsword uncontrollably. This was the terrifying aspect of the Ghost Sect, allowing one to fall for it without even realizing it.

He looked angrily at Xu Ran and said through gritted teeth, “How dare you use such underhanded means to humiliate me, I will never ……”

“Pop!”

A loud slap interrupted Zhou Ming’s words. Lin Xiang angrily walked up to him and raised her hand to slap him.

“Are you crazy? Get drunk and get your ass back to me! Who do you think you are? How dare you blabber on here?”

“You ……”

“What’s wrong with me? We’re friends, how could you do this to me? You’re the only friend I have, and you’re trying to make me lose face in front of so many people?”

Hearing Lin Xiang’s words, Zhou Ming was speechless. It seemed that Lin Xiang’s phrase “I only have one friend like you” had deeply stung him.

He let out a long sigh and whispered, “I’m sorry, I was wrong.”

The anger that had been on top of the alcohol had long since disappeared without a trace.

“I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have hit you.” Lin Xiang also realized that she had hit hard.

“It’s okay, we grew up together, how many times have you hit me?”

Zhou Ming turned his head to look at Ghost Lingzi and Xu Ran and sincerely apologized, “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have denigrated the Ghost Sect, I apologize to you.”

Nevertheless, he said with a stiff upper lip, “Still, I am against this marriage!”

After saying that, Zhou Ming left the Ghost Gate without looking back.
