Immortality Cultivation Era

Chapter 583 An Acquaintance Is Coming?

Staring at the cold face of Gao Ge, Shao Shuai is not surprised at all.

Gao Ge’s reaction is totally within his expectation.

He would put on the same look if he were Gao Ge.

Then he pours another cup of tea for Gao Ge, saying, “Gao Ge, actually, you can’t hide it from anyone. Although you have kept a low profile, it can’t be kept secret when you started looking for her. Besides, you are no longer a member of the Dragon Court now. There are numerous people who want to win you over, just like me, but most of them are waiting for an opportunity. In this case, they must know what you are doing somehow.”

Gao Ge drinks up the tea again.

“Actually, the Shao Family should be able to find her as long as she is still in Huaxia,” Shao Shuai says, “Our family has declined indeed, but after all, we are a family of herbs and elixirs. We are also on good terms with a lot of blessed spots and cultivation schools. You have played online games, right? Well, the Shao Family is like the healer in the game. Everyone needs herbs or elixirs to elevate his cultivation level and to extend his health points, so they need to protect the Shao Family. And we also need to boost our power so that we can deal with them fairly. Do you understand?”

Gao Ge laughs, “Of course I do, but as I said before, I don’t want to interfere in this kind of thing.”

“You don’t even want the news about Meng Jing?” Shao Shuai replies with a wry smile.

“If you knew it, you would have told me,” Gao Ge says calmly.

Shao Shuai is amused, “It’s no fun chatting with you. I don’t understand why you have to be so smart. Sometimes it is not a bad thing to be a bit stupid.”

Gao Ge stares at Shao Shuai with a scornful look, “Forget it. Being too stupid does no good.”

Shao Shuai also drinks a cup of tea.

Somehow he feels being offended implicitly.

Yet, he doesn’t get angry. The young are always like that. On the contrary, he can always keep his equanimity.

“Are you really not interested at all?” Shao Shuai asks.

Gao Ge nods his head.

Shao Shuai heaves a sigh.

He knows that it is very difficult to change Gao Ge’s mind, but he still can’t help giving it a shot.

It turns out that he still fails in the end.

“Fine. I will not push you then, but do you need me to help you look for Meng Jing? Rest assured. I ask for no return.”

“Forget it.” Gao Ge thinks about it and still shakes his head.

There is no free lunch in the world.

Even a kindergarten student knows that. In no way does Gao Ge fail to know that.

If the Shao Family really can find Meng Jing, he will owe one to them, but it is still uncertain. Even if the Shao Family fail in the end, they have made an effort at least. Hence, if they encounter any trouble and turn to Gao Ge for help later, how can he refuse them?

Moreover, what Meng Jing is doing seems quite secret even within the Dragon Court.

In this case, Gao Ge can’t do it in a big way.

Luckily, he has got some news about Meng Jing by now. He is wondering whether he can find her in Qiu City…

Gao Ge stands up and returns to his room again.

With a sigh, Shao Shuai clears things up simply and also returns to his own room.

So far, he hasn’t pointed out Gao Ge’s identity. For one thing, he feels nothing wrong with feigning ignorance; for another, he finds it quite funny…

Day breaks.

Gao Ge wakes up and finds that Tang Jiusi hasn’t come back since he went out last night.

It seems that the problem the Dragon Court encounters this time is a bit thorny.

“Liu, where is Tang Jiusi now?” Gao Ge asks over breakfast.

“I don’t know…” Liu shakes his head.

Gao Ge feels kind of astonished, “Isn’t this place your territory?”

With a bitter smile, Liu replies, “Mr. Gao, you are right, but now it is a different case. If it is about another thing, we will surely keep an eye on it, but this time, it is the Dragon Court’s matter, we don’t dare to pry into it!”

Gao Ge thinks about it and feels that Liu has made a good point.

This is Dragon Court’s business. If the Tang Family follow behind and check on it, they will leave a bad impression on the Dragon Court.

Tang Jiusi doesn’t come back until the breakfast is over.

He looks so weary.

“You are all up?” Tang Jiusi yawns.

“Look at your face. You seem to have partied too much,” Shao Gusu sneers.

Tang Jiusi glimpses her, rather grieved.

He has worked throughout the whole night.

Why does Shao Gusu say that he was out goofing around seemingly?

Eh.

No.

Even if he really goofed around, what does it have to do with her?

Hence, Tang Jiusi doesn’t respond to her at all.

“How is it going on? Is it complicated?” Gao Ge asks.

“Yeah, pretty complicated…” Tang Jiusi says, “Last night, we met a Ghost Commander. We had a hard time killing him.”

“A Ghost Commander?” Gao Ge is a bit surprised, “So competent?”

“Yeah, that’s why it took us so much effort. The Ghost Commander was approximately as strong as the cultivator at the realm between Strength Protection and Strength Exposure. Although he was not difficult to cope with, the Ghost Commander hid himself in the downtown area. Thus, we spent a lot of time dealing with him. To our astonishment, when we just took down the Ghost Commander, we met another one, so I can’t come back until now!”

Gao Ge frowns.

It is not a simple thing for a ghost to become a Ghost Commander.

Yet, it is really strange to meet two Ghost Commanders in a row.

“Is it the Ghost Sect?” Gao Ge murmurs.

Tang Jiusi looks at Gao Ge and doesn’t feel surprised.

When two Ghost Commanders appear in a row, any cultivator will immediately think of the Ghost Sect.

Moreover, Gao Ge holds a deep grudge against the Ghost Sect.

“It’s hard to say now. I cannot reveal too much information, but somehow, I feel the plague this time is very unusual. By the way, an acquaintance is coming today.”

Looking at Tang Jiusi’s facial expression, Gao Ge asks, “Is it Fire Dragon or his peer?”

“Not necessary. The situation is not that serious for now.” Tang Jiusi shakes his head.

“It must be Master Wen.” Gao Ge laughs.

Tang Jiusi is so dumbstruck with astonishment. With widened eyes, he stares at Gao Ge and cries out, “Are you a fortune-teller?”

“Since the matter is related to ghosts, it is normal that Master Wen, an expert in this field, comes here to deal with it,” Gao Ge says.

Although Master Wen is not reliable, he is quite competent in this field. Moreover, he has acquired some books from the Ghost Sect and thus his capability has been prominently enhanced, which makes him the most suitable person to deal with the matter. However, apart from Master Wen, there must be someone else sent here.
