A few days ago, Liao Muye wanted to find the Ghost King after he guessed that the Ghost King might be reborn.

But he dared not go in person.

The power of the Ghost King is unfathomable. What if he rushes over and is killed by the Ghost King?

In his last life, he was young, energetic, and unafraid of danger, daring to go everywhere. After being reborn, however, he acts like a man in his fifties.

He lived a pampered life for twenty years.

At the age of fifty, he cherished his life and did not want to take risks.

So Liao Muye first found someone to investigate the Ghost King.

Liao Muye was taken aback when he learned that the Ghost King actually lived in the plantation his family sold. He was worried the Ghost King would find something wrong with him, and take him away… Their Liao family cannot stop the Ghost King.

Liao Muye was worried at first, but after careful analysis, he felt that the Ghost King should not have found out what was wrong with him, at least he wasn’t certain.

First of all, after his rebirth, he didn’t make any big moves. At most, he asked the Liao family to hoard some food and supplies, but the Ghost King was in Hongye Forest and shouldn’t know the Liao family’s movements in his last life.

Secondly, the biggest change in him should be his feelings for Xie Yunnan – at this time in his last life, he was pursuing Xie Yunnan, but he didn’t in this life.

But… Xie Yunnan married someone else, right?

Xie Yunnan is married, so it’s normal for him not to pursue Xie Yunnan.

In short, the Ghost King may not have found out about his rebirth, or maybe the Ghost King discovered it, but doesn’t care.

He had no conflict of interest with the Ghost King in his last life, and their relationship was even good – when the Ghost King passed away, he still liked Xie Yunnan.

After thinking about it, Liao Muye planned to test the Ghost King.

He found someone to give the Ghost King a mobile phone.

Outside the town, on a desolate road.

The first time the Ghost King saw his photo, he grabbed the mercenary’s neck: “Who sent you here?”

The nine-tailed fox appeared beside the Ghost King. The mercenary’s face instantly went slack, and spilled the ins and outs.

A man in a mask and cloak told him to wait here to give out the phone. He didn’t know anything else.

The Ghost King let go, and the unconscious mercenary rolled to the ground. He didn’t even look at the mercenary, ditched the car, and quickly returned to the town.

Shortly after he left, the mercenary got up furiously: “Crazy bastard! I just handed over a mobile phone, why did you knock me out!”

Then his eyes lit up, and he got in through the car window…

The Ghost King’s speed was faster than taking a car.

After a while, he returned to the vicinity of Xie Yunnan’s car repair shop. No one spotted him along the way.

After arriving in town, he first called his subordinates.

After confirming that his subordinates were all right, the Ghost King immediately asked them to come to town quickly… After that, he began to study the mobile phone in his hand.

This is an ordinary mobile phone, but the screen showed his wanted notice.

Did someone discover his identity? Or was it a coincidence?

If it’s a coincidence, then he should continue as is. But someone discovered his identity…

Will Xie Yunnan be in danger?

The Ghost King began to check the phone.

It was a very ordinary phone, brand new, with nothing in it except a number in the address book.

The person who gave the cell phone wanted him to make a call? Holding the phone, the Ghost King jumped upstairs to Xie Yunnan’s house, and his companion beast jumped to the windowsill of Xie Yunnan’s master bedroom.

Xie Yunnan is no longer the same as at the beginning when he’d fall asleep after eating. Today, he held on for a while, and had just lain down to prepare for bed.

Xie Yunnan couldn’t see the fox by the window. Duan Changqing pretended not to see it and drew the curtains closed…

The two people in the room were fine.

The Ghost King breathed a sigh of relief and continued to stare at the phone.

As long as the people who come to the door are not those old fogies in the Holy City, he will be fine. Besides, those guys are afraid of death and will not come to him easily.

Not to mention the recent disappearance of the high priest… Those old fogies are probably busy fighting for power.

Now let’s see… between him and the person who gave him the phone, who’s patience will run out first.

The Ghost King was waiting for the person who called him on his cell phone to call him, but Duan Changqing was a little unhappy in the room below.

No one will be happy if someone sits on the roof at night.

Duan Changqing was preparing to remove makeup and go to bed, but didn’t end up taking it off… He could only lie on bed, holding Xie Yunnan’s hand, and let the spiritual power in his body enter and circulate in Xie Yunnan’s body.

The spiritual power from food and the spiritual power emitted from Duan Changqing’s spiritual marrow both entered Xie Yunnan’s body, and then circulated in Xie Yunnan’s body.

Xie Yunnan couldn’t practice independently, so Duan Changqing simply helped him practice.

In his previous world, many junior cultivators rely on the help of their elders when starting out.

Xie Yunnan has eaten a lot of good things these days. Today, the old wounds left in his body have finally fully recovered.

Soon, he can start practicing.

Typically, Duan Changqing would withdraw his spiritual power and cultivate by himself after eating up the rest of the meat, but there was someone on the roof today.

Duan Changqing did not practice, but kept helping Xie Yunnan practice.

Time passed minute by minute, and the spiritual power in Xie Yunnan’s body was able to circulate on its own… Then a phone ringing came from the top floor.

Duan Changqing: “…”

Xie Yunnan’s master, isn’t he afraid of disturbing the people?

Of course, the Ghost King was afraid of disturbing the people, so he pressed mute and quickly left Xie Yunnan’s house and came to the bamboo forest behind the shop.

It is about 50 meters away from Xie Yunnan’s residence. He can pay attention to Xie Yunnan’s situation from here without fear of being overheard.

It’s only after nine o’clock, and many people in the town haven’t slept.

The phone rang for almost a minute before the Ghost King hit accept.

Don’t know who this person is calling him… The Ghost King put the phone to his ear and said nothing.

The person on the other end of the phone opened their mouth first, “Ghost King, the corpse of the high priest is in your hands, right?”

What? The Ghost King was a little confused.

He was ready for this person to threaten him with Xie Yunnan, or something else, but he never expected that someone would ask him this.

What does the high priest’s body have to do with him?

He did have a grudge against some priests, but he had no grudge against or sought trouble with the high priest.

He didn’t have the ability to trouble the high priest either.

Now… listening to this man, the high priest is dead?

Does this man still want to frame him?

The Ghost King’s voice was extremely cold: “Why do you think so?”

“Because we are the same.” The man said again.

Ghost King: “…” Are they the same? Where are they the same? Are both anti-priests? What the hell is this?

Although he couldn’t understand the other party’s words at all, the Ghost King still snorted coldly: “So what?”

“We are blessed by nature, so we should unite. I know you have a problem with your body. I’ll ask a priest to help you, and you come help me, how about it?”

“No.”

“Are you still going to help Xie Yunnan? What’s so good about him that he deserves your help?” Liao Muye couldn’t hold back when he heard the Ghost King’s rejection.

According to what he found, the Ghost King has been catching exotic animals for Xie Yunnan to eat these days.

The Ghost King made up his mind to help Xie Yunnan.

This was also the case in his previous life. This person was very kind to Xie Yunnan. As long as there were resources available, he would give them to Xie Yunnan.

He was close to Xie Yunnan at that time, and could also get some benefits. Even then, the Ghost King’s attitude was always very bad towards him!

He felt injustice back then, and was even more dissatisfied after being reborn.

The Ghost King was stunned. “Still”? When did he help Xie Yunnan, why did this person say “still”?

But hearing his words… he should not know Xie Yunnan’s relationship with him.

The Ghost King simply followed his words, and replied: “He is better than you.”

Liao Muye was taken aback when he heard this, and he thought that the Ghost King had already guessed his identity.

After his rebirth, he did something, and it is normal for the Ghost King to guess.

“Why is he better than me? Why are you determined to help him?” Liao Muye asked again.

“He’s talented, I don’t want his talent to be wasted.” Ghost King replied simply.

In fact, he wanted to talk a little bit more and discover the other party’s identity through his words, but it might be self-defeating, and make the other person  realize that they were not “the same” if he continued.

He spoke only so cautiously.

“Talent? If you don’t help him, he’s just an ordinary person.”

“I’ll help him and get a talented apprentice, though?” Ghost King said.

Of course it’s not good. The Ghost King accepted Xie Yunnan as his apprentice, which actually shows that the Ghost King values ​​Xie Yunnan.

When the Ghost King dies, Xie Yunnan will naturally inherit everything from the Ghost King.

Although the Ghost King accepted Xie Yunnan as his apprentice in his previous life, what he actually did… was it just an apprentice?

Liao Muye said, “You really don’t want to help me? We can overthrow those priests and establish a new regime together.”

The Ghost King’s heart skipped a beat, but he still said, “Saying this, I’m a little interested. When and where shall we meet?”

The Ghost King really hates those priests… Liao Muye said: “I’ve been very busy recently. Let’s talk about it when I have time. By the way, you’d better be on guard against Duan Changqing, after all… he shouldn’t appear, right?”

After Liao Muye finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

The Ghost King was really reborn, and was very fond of Xie Yunnan.

Although the Ghost King finally said that he would help him, he felt that it was unlikely.

Fortunately, hearing the Ghost King’s words, he didn’t plan to do anything to him.

As for subduing the Ghost King… since the Ghost King didn’t come to him after he was reborn, it’s impossible to be allies.

That being the case, don’t blame him for being ruthless.

One reborn person is enough, the Ghost King… can’t stay.

It’s just that with his strength, he can’t deal with the Ghost King. He can’t, but the people of Holy City can.

Those people looking for the high priest are coming soon.

When these people came to Hongye City in his last life, Hongye City was already a bit chaotic. They probably guessed something and went directly to Hongye Forest. As a result, they encountered a powerful exotic beast and suffered heavy casualties.

As Liao Muye was pondering what to do next, the Ghost King on the other side took a deep breath. His heart was numb.

His identity has been revealed.

He originally wanted to hide his identity and teach Xie Yunnan, and let Xie Yunnan know nothing, but now it seems that it is not possible.

For Xie Yunnan’s safety, Xie Yunnan had better go to Hongye Forest with them to hide.

Realizing this, the Ghost King felt extreme regret.

After seeing Xie Yunnan, he should not rush to get along with Xie Yunnan, but should send a message to the child’s mother and let the child’s mother take him away.

But the Holy City is not safe now.

Maybe it’s better to let this kid live a normal life in the fringes? No, that won’t work either, this kid has no self-protection ability, who knows what will happen to him?

He can only take the child with him.

But to take his child away, there is still a problem – Duan Changqing.

What do you think the Ghost King will do?
