Chapter 789: We Have Seen A Ghost!

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

One day passed. Xu Que still sat on the rooftop of the hotel, his eyes fixed on the cell phone’s screen. He hadn’t gotten any reply from Xu Feifei and his update of the WeChat Moments was still sending! Soon, evening fell again!

Xu Que tried to send messages to other friends during this period. But all his efforts were in vain. “This crappy connection speed is sheer torture!” Xu Que was becoming impatient. His patience could only last for one day and one night!

“Fine! Buttface, I have an important task for you. You should continue to stay here to act as the Signal Booster. I will be back soon!” Xu Que said as he put the cell phone beside Buttface and was about to leave. After all, he should have gone to meet Madam Ya last night. Now, one whole day had passed. If he didn’t go to see her, Madam Ya would worry about him. Therefore, he should at least show up to let people in the Imperial Palace know that he was ok so they could feel relieved.

Seeing that Xu Que was preparing to leave, Buttface shouted angrily, “Screw you, little brat, don’t go! Let me go, or I will crush your stupid cell phone underfoot later!”

“What? Right! Thanks for reminding me!”

Xu Que stopped abruptly and used several magic arts with a smile.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Along with a dazzling light display, the restriction magic art on Buttface’s body was strengthened dozens of times!

“Damn!” Buttface’s eyes widened in embarrassment.

At the same time, Xu Que took out a Spiritual Level Spell and set it up on the rooftop to prevent anyone from approaching.

After finishing all of this, Xu Que left confidently. He cancelled his disguise and dashed toward the Imperial Palace, leaving Buttface howling on the rooftop alone.

“Crap!”

“Crap! Crap! Crap!”

Howl! “Little brat, don’t go!”

“Let me go!”

“You are a beast!”

Woof! Howl! Growl!

...

However, it was quite coincidental that his update of the WeChat Moments was sent successfully just as he turned around and was about to leave. It was more coincidental that it was a special day on Earth.

For numerous people, it was just an ordinary day. But for Xu Que’s friends, that day was Xu Que’s death anniversary! After his death in a car accident, his friends planned to make arrangements for his funeral by pooling money together, but their plan was refused by his younger sister. She managed to scrape together a large sum of money and organized a decent funeral for him. His tomb was located in the graveyard.

Now, this day was his death anniversary again. Only three young people in suits appeared in front of Xu Que’s tomb.

“Six years passed in a blink of an eye!”

“Right! It’s been three years since our graduation from college!”

“Alas! This is his sixth death anniversary. I didn’t expect that only the three of us would come for his memorial.”

“It’s OK. Now that all of us have to work, it is quite normal for us to be busy!”

“Li Ruolin is really ruthless! She used to be his girlfriend, and she has never come here!”

“Humph! If she hadn’t broken up with him, he wouldn’t have been killed in the accident!”

When one of them said this, all of them went silent! Apparently, these young men were Xu Que’s roommates in college: Zeng Darong, Su Xiaoliang, and Wang Jin!

“Do you really think it was an accident? I don’t believe it!” Su Xiaoliang shook his head and said seriously.

Wang Jin sighed, “So what? Could you find any evidence? Six years have passed. We should let it go!”

“What about Feifei? In order to avenge her elder brother, she dropped out of the university and went abroad alone. Till now, we haven’t heard from her at all!”

“The world is so big! It is extremely difficult to find her!”

“I just hope she’s safe; otherwise,think how guilty we’ll feel in front of him in the future!”

After saying all that, the three of them went silent again.

Ding!

A warning tone came from Su Xiaoliang’s cell phone at this time.

“Alas, I guess it’s something related to company business again!” he sighed languidly as he took out his cell phone and clicked on the icon of WeChat. However, it was a message sent by his girlfriend, who asked him to hit the like button for her WeChat Moments update, so that she could get some rewards.

Su Xiaoliang couldn’t help but smile embarrassedly. He shook his head and clicked his WeChat Moments.

The next moment, Su Xiaoliang was stunned on the spot. Then, his expression changed and his pupils contracted dramatically.

“How...could this be? Look...look at...” He was so nervous that he even started to stumble over words as he shouted at his friends in great shock.

Zeng Darong and Wang Jin were shocked by his reaction. Then, they said embarrassedly, “It seems you’ve seen a ghost! What did you see?”

He turned and passed his phone, and they fixed their eyes on Su Xiaoliang’s cell phone. The next moment, the two of them were also stunned!

“Holy crap! Why...why do this man and Xu Que look so alike? No, this one is more handsome! I guess he used the retouch function!”

“Why did this guy have a group photo with a Husky by wearing the ancient costume? Is he an actor of a costume drama? This is so weird that he looks really like Xu Que!” The two of them were quite surprised by the picture shown on the cell phone’s screen.

Su Xiaoliang couldn’t help but shout loudly, “Are you stupid? Look who sent this WeChat Moments update!”

The next moment, Zeng Darong and Wang Jin’s expressions were frozen instantly.

“Holy crap! This is Xu Que’s WeChat account!”

“My God! We have seen a ghost!”

...

At the same time, in the void which was extremely far away from Earth, in the Fire Nation’s Imperial Palace in the Five Elements Mountain of the World of Cultivators, Xu Que had cancelled the disguise effect. Now he was dashing toward the Imperial Palace quietly in the night. He had reached the Void Training Stage. Nobody could sense his movement when he entered the Imperial Palace. Also,he had set up the spells in the palace.Therefore, it was quite easy for him to enter the palace, almost as if he entered his own house.

On the rooftop of the palace, Xu Que released his Soul Strength. After a short while, he sensed several familiar auras. He could sense Madam Ya, Su Ling’er, Su Xiao Qi, and Su Yunlan, the Sect Leader of the Great Change Sect who had also moved into the Imperial Palace of the Fire Nation!

Gasp! “I’m afraid one bed is not big enough for the five of us!” Xu Que murmured in a low voice as a shameless image appeared in his mind. Then, he jumped down and walked toward the bedchamber of Madam Ya, which was closest to him. At this time, Madam Ya was lying gracefully on her side in her bed, reading a book. However, after a short while, she put down the book as if she had lost interest in it. Then, she fixed her eyes on the starry sky outside the window.

A moment later, she sighed in a low voice, “I’ve been missing you day and night, but you are always not here! I’ve read your poems for several years! Xu Que, when will you come back to me....”

Thump! Thump!

At this time, some footsteps could be heard outside the door. After that, an Imperial Guard shouted from outside, resting one knee on the floor, “Madam, Yang Qianyun of the Exploding Heavens Faction begs for an audience!”

“Oh? It’s Lord Yang? Just ask him to come in!” Madam Ya put on her clothes and robe and stepped toward the door of her bedchamber. After a short while, the Imperial Guard came in with a young man. The young man was quite nervous and kept looking around vigilantly.

Madam Ya asked immediately, “Lord Yang, have you got any news about Xu Que?”

The young man replied hurriedly, “Madam Ya, bad news! I’ve got a message from our Exploding Heavens Faction just now. Xu Que was ambushed on his way here and nobody knows whether he is dead or alive! He asked someone to send a message, which said he wants to see you!”

“What?” Madam Ya turned pale after hearing that. Her mind went blank immediately.

The young man said anxiously, “Madam Ya, time is pressing. Please come with me immediately to save Xu Que; otherwise, he might be endangered!”

“OK, let’s go....” Madam Ya was very anxious and about to agree. Before she finished her words, she felt something was wrong. Almost at the same time, a sneer came from outside the bedchamber.

“Heh! I heard someone said I was ambushed and nobody knows whether I am dead or alive! Come on, tell me why nobody knows whether I am dead or alive!”
