Chapter 173 One Shadow Is Mine, and the Other Is Mine Too.
"Old Ghost, do you think we saw it?"
"Uh... I don't think we saw it..."
Yue Guan covered his eyes, feeling a headache coming on, and immediately worried about Jiang Nian's future.
The three women he had provoked were not easy to appease.
Hmm... this one seemed a little easier to appease now.
"Let's pretend we didn't see anything. Don't interfere in the Holy Son's private life."
"You're right."
Yue Guan and Ghost exchanged a glance, then turned and walked away.
With Jiang Nian's current strength, he was basically safe as long as no one above the peerless level intervened.
Actually, the Pope hadn't assigned them any missions; they had come voluntarily.
After all, how could the Holy Son go out without guards?
He just hoped that it wouldn't be like last time, where he simply disappeared for a year.
Otherwise, if Bibi Dong questioned him, he wouldn't know how to make up a lie.
Jiang Nian glanced back, then looked away, and gripped Hu Liena's small hand tightly.
He felt nothing for her burning eyes.
The girl's heart pounded; the warmth from that large hand was hotter than the July sun.
A radiant smile spread across her face, her eyes sparkling like stars.
"Brother Jiang Nian."
"Hmm?"
Hu Liena's pretty face flushed red as she suddenly looked up at the boy beside her, pointing to the ground with her finger, her voice gentle, "Look at these shadows, one is mine, and the other is mine too." Jiang
Nian lowered his eyes and shook his head, "What's yours is yours, but what's mine isn't just mine."
Hu Liena paused, then pouted and hummed a few times.
Notting City.
Tang San, who had only been a disciple of the Grandmaster for a little over two years, hadn't collected any gold soul coins in the city for quite some time.
Not long ago, some lunatic vandalized the Spirit Hall, causing people to have to travel to other cities to collect their gold spirit coins.
It's truly ridiculous.
"Teacher, actually, I think the Spirit Hall is pretty good. At least they give spirit masters a monthly allowance. Otherwise, a spirit master like me from a poor family probably wouldn't even have enough to eat," Tang San said softly, taking a bite of his roujiamo (Chinese hamburger).
"Little San, you're thinking incorrectly," the middle-aged man with a buzz cut frowned slightly, coughed twice, and began his brainwashing.
"You think this money comes from the Spirit Hall? Wrong! Completely wrong!"
"The Spirit Hall is just distributing it on behalf of the two great empires; the actual money used is all from the two great empires."
Tang San suddenly realized, and his goodwill towards the Spirit Hall diminished somewhat.
"Teacher, if there were no Spirit Hall, would the Heaven Dou Empire still send us Soul Masters Gold Soul Coins?"
Yu Xiaogang paused, then replied righteously, "Yes! Of course they would!"
"If there were no Spirit Hall, the benefits for both empires would only be better."
Tang San nodded, eating the roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) in his hand, quickly stuffing it into his stomach.
He still trusted the middle-aged man in front of him.
After all, a teacher for a day is a father for life.
How could his father harm him?
In the future, he would definitely prove his teacher wrong!
Tang San secretly vowed that since he had come to this world, how could he not strive hard? ...
One bright morning, Jiang Nian arrived in Notting City.
Entering the Spirit Hall branch that was under reconstruction, he took out his token, and the people in charge immediately showed obsequious smiles.
Jiang Nian sat down heavily on the main seat, watching the newly appointed Palace Master.
"Have the deceased been properly taken care of? Have their relatives been comforted?"
"Reporting to Your Highness, everything has been arranged!"
Feng Qiang lowered his head tremblingly. Facing this legendary figure, he never imagined he would meet the Holy Son in his lifetime.
His face flushed slightly with nervousness.
However, his aura was too overwhelming; he didn't even have the courage to meet his gaze.
And that strange, clever little girl beside him—how could her cultivation level seem higher than his own?
Jiang Nian stared into his eyes, his pupils narrowing slightly.
Others might not see it, but he could.
Behind Feng Qiang, an angry man was cursing him. Judging from his lip movements, Jiang Nian could roughly guess what the newly appointed Palace Master had done.
"I heard… you took care of the previous Palace Master's wife and daughters, is that right?"
Feng Qiang was shocked and immediately knelt on the ground.
"Holy Son! I only took them in out of pity for them, a widow and her child."
"Think about it, without any backing, how could they survive in this world?"
Jiang Nian remained unfazed, his fingers swirling his teacup as he calmly said, "But I heard you were abducting women... taking advantage of their father's death, using your power to kidnap that mother and daughter..."
"Such power, such a high position!"
*Pfft!*
Feng Qiang coughed up blood, his breath fading.
His mind was about to explode.
No one else was involved in this whole affair.
How did Jiang Nian know?
Even if he did it, so what?
Two women, worthless in this world. He didn't believe he could be executed so easily after taking office.
"Holy Son, to be honest, I really didn't want them to suffer. I only used a little force."
"Don't worry, I will treat them well!"
*Thump.*
Feng Qiang knelt and kowtowed, his performance incredibly convincing, tears streaming down his face.
Jiang Nian smiled silently, took out a black book from between his eyebrows, and gently turned a page.
Black death energy swirled around the body of the former palace master, Chen Sheng. Hu Liena and Feng Qiang were stunned for a moment.
"Beast! You raped my wife! You beast, I'll haunt you as a ghost... Huh?" Chen Sheng was stunned. He found that he could actually grab the guy's neck.
For a moment, he was shocked and let go, looking around in a daze.
He saw that the handsome young man with flowing hair was smiling at him.
"Damn! What the hell!" Feng Sheng was so frightened that he staggered backward, looking at the man in front of him with a face full of terror, wondering if he was still asleep.
"Chen Sheng, although you are dead, your soul can still linger in the mortal world. I happen to have some means to see your soul, so if you have a grievance, I can seek justice for you."
"I have a grudge, I want revenge."
Chen Sheng was stunned for a long time, then knelt on the ground and wept bitterly.
"Your Highness... Your Highness, I don't ask for much, I just want to see how my wife and daughters are doing."
"If I can say a proper goodbye to them, I'll have no regrets in this life."
Feng Sheng was so shocked his head was about to explode.
Damn it!
The dead can even have their souls summoned?
Is this some kind of joke?!
He knew he was about to get into big trouble, so he blurted everything out.
"Your Highness! Actually, it's not my fault, Chen Sheng's children might not even be his biological children..."
