Chapter 324 Thank You, Sir
Deep in Fengzhou.
"What bad luck! I encountered three ghost kings the first time I came in. Thank you, fellow Daoist Daoist Dao."
In a charred valley, Zhang Li had a lingering fear on his face, and finally expressed his gratitude to Daogu who was standing beside him.
On the third day after they entered the depths of Fengzhou, they encountered a ghost nest led by a ghost king. At first everyone was very excited and ready to kill the ghost king.
But what was unexpected was that there was not just one ghost king in this lair, but three ghost kings.
Suddenly they turned from hunters into prey, and finally had to flee separately.
Zhang Li happened to be running in the same direction as Daogu.
"If it weren't for you, Daoist Brother Daowu, who led away those ghosts, I would have been devoured by them now." Zhang Li was very grateful to Daoist Brother Daowu: "Daoist Brother Daowu, you are my lifesaver. If you need me in the future, please let me know."
Daogu looked at Zhang Li. Actually, he didn't want to save Zhang Li. At that time, he was the one who ran away.
But he didn't expect that those ghost kings didn't chase Zhang Li, but actually chased him in a group, forcing him to exert a lot of effort to shake off the ghost kings.
After Zhang Li said that he must settle accounts with Junior Brother Lin, Zhang Li was no longer a companion in his mind.
But since Zhang Li misunderstood, he would not explain.
"The Ghost King has left, but now we can't move around casually, so as not to run into him."
Daogu stood beside Zhang Li, and his words made Zhang Li nod vigorously: "Yes, we can't move now. Those ghost kings are searching for us everywhere. It is safest to hide here."
"By the way, I heard you guys talking about the Martial Saint earlier. I'm bored now anyway, can you tell me about it in detail?"
Zhang Li did not suspect that Daou had other intentions in asking this question, because he did not know that Lin Ye was a young martial saint. In his opinion, warriors and practitioners belonged to two different worlds and rarely had any connection.
"Since you are curious, I will tell you everything I know." Zhang Li said with a smile, "Brother, you have already said almost everything, but there are some details that you left out. The injured female sister is not only a disciple of the headmaster, but also the daughter of an elder in the Yuanshen realm."
Daou's eyes narrowed. The other party would definitely not let it go as she was the daughter of a powerful Yuanshen realm master.
"Is that so? But he is a Martial Saint after all. If he wants to leave, I'm afraid even the Soul Formation experts won't be able to stop him. Or is your Zhenqing Sect ready to send out all the Soul Formation experts?"
"How is that possible? He's just a Martial Saint. Why does it need all the elders of the sect to go out and fight?" Zhang Li had a look of disdain on his face, but when he thought that the person in front of him was his savior, his tone became a little more tactful.
"An elder in our sect has refined a Heaven and Earth Realm that can trap people in a piece of heaven and earth. Even a strong person in the Yuanshen Realm cannot escape in a short period of time, and the same goes for a Martial Saint."
"As long as we use this Heaven and Earth Realm to trap Lin Ye, one elder will be enough. At most, we can send another elder to stand by and provide raids."
Daogu was anxious when he heard this, but his expression remained unchanged. He said, "So that's how it is. Then what kind of lesson will your sect elders give this martial saint?"
"I don't know about that. At least he should be injured and compensated. In fact, I would just kill this martial saint to deter other martial artists so that they don't dare to offend our disciples of Zhenqing Sect again."
Daogu's eyes widened, and he almost swung the sword at his waist.
This person is not very strong, but he is very murderous.
"Fellow Daoist Daogu, what does that expression of yours mean?" Zhang Li also noticed Daogu's glare just now, and asked with some confusion.
"I just felt the breath of ghosts. I'm going to lead them away. You hide here and don't move."
Daogu made up an excuse and ran away without waiting for Zhang Li to answer.
"Da...Daoyou Daoyou is such a good person."
Watching Daogu leave, Zhang Li's face became more moved.
This is a truly good teammate. In order to protect himself, he is willing to show up and lure away the ghosts.
But why didn’t I feel the breath of ghosts?
Maybe my strength is a little lacking. I must practice well after returning this time, so that when I go to slay demons and monsters with fellow Daoist Daoist Daoist in the future, I will not hold him back.
…
…
A quarter of an hour later, Daogu was already dozens of miles away from his original place. The so-called luring away the ghosts was just something he said casually.
This man has such a murderous intention, just leave him there to fend for himself.
After knowing that Junior Brother Lin Ye might be in danger, Daou no longer had the intention to kill ghosts and walked towards the outside of Fengzhou. He wanted to return to Nanjiangzhou as soon as possible to tell his Junior Brother the news.
…
…
Capital city!
It has been half a month since the new emperor ascended the throne, and the entire court has returned to stability under An Zisheng's control.
Lin Ye did not stay in the capital any longer, but returned to Nanjiang Prefecture.
Because he wanted to send someone off.
Shangyang City, Xu Mansion.
The Xu family, including some relatives, have gathered in the living room at this moment, but Xu Rui seems a little absent-minded, looking towards the door from time to time.
Xu Rui didn't breathe a sigh of relief until a figure appeared at the door.
"Young Master!"
"No need to say anything. I'll go see your father."
Lin Ye interrupted Xu Rui, his figure disappeared from the spot, and the next moment he appeared in the backyard .
In the backyard, Uncle Xu was lying on a rattan chair, covered with a thin blanket.
"Sir, you are here."
Seeing Lin Ye, a smile broke out on Xu Bo’s pale old face.
"Why don't you go back to bed?"
"How can a servant lie in bed and wait for his master?" Xu Bo wanted to sit up, but he failed after trying several times, so he gave up in the end.
"Just lie there."
"Thank you, sir."
Lin Ye looked at Xu Bo, and Xu Bo also looked at Lin Ye. This master and servant have been together for nearly thirty years, so there are some things that don't need to be said.
"Do you have any wishes?"
"No, it is the greatest honor of my life to be able to follow you, sir. You are the best boss, and the entire Xu family has benefited from you."
"That's also Xu Rui's ability. He has his own abilities."
Xu Bo smiled comfortingly. He was also very satisfied with his son.
"Sir, can I ask you one last favor?"
"Just tell me, I will do it for you, only what I can do."
In Lin Ye's opinion, what Uncle Xu asked was for him to take care of the descendants of the Xu family.
"Sir, after my son comes, don't let them be your housekeepers anymore."
When Xu Bo said this, Lin Ye was surprised. What did this mean?
"That's fine. Being an employee is not as good as being the boss."
Xu Bo listened to Lin Ye's answer and seemed to have thought of something. He said, "Sir, I am the only one who can understand what you are saying. Actually, I also want my descendants to continue to work for you, but I am leaving soon. I cannot guarantee that my descendants will always be loyal to you. As you often say, human desires are insatiable."
"I and Rui'er will remember your kindness, but I am afraid that my grandchildren and great-grandchildren will not know your kindness and will have other thoughts. You don't really care about these things, but I am afraid that they will betray me."
This time, Lin Ye understood what Xu Bo meant.
I have to say that Xu Bo’s thinking is very clear.
Xu Rui is Xu Bo's son. He knows that if it weren't for him, the Xu family wouldn't have the good life they have today. But Xu Rui's son is also a second-generation rich man. I'm afraid his mind will change. What if another generation or two passes...
"Actually, I don't think too much about the business." Lin Ye looked at Xu Bo and said.
"Sir, I know you don't really care about these gold and silver things, but I hope you can fulfill my last wish, so that I can leave peacefully, without becoming a ghost and worrying about my descendants doing something to let you down."
Lin Ye was silent for a moment, then nodded: "I promise you."
"Thank you, sir."
