CH 65

Duan Changqing was seriously injured this time, but it wasn’t fatal.

However, given the current situation… He simply pretended that he couldn’t hang on, closed his eyes, and was “dizzy”.

“Changqing!” Seeing Duan Changqing faint, Xie Yunnan, who was holding him, was a little anxious, but he didn’t dare to move too much, for fear of aggravating Duan Changqing’s injury.

By the way, the injury…

Xie Yunnan put the divine power in Duan Changqing’s body, and checked Duan Changqing’s condition using what he learned these days.

Xie Yunnan couldn’t help taking a breath.

Duan Changqing’s injuries are extremely serious.

He was so powerful that it took no effort to clean up Meng Yan, Shi Haiyuan, and them back then, but now his body is like this… mostly because he helped him break through yesterday.

Xie Yunnan was previously surprised when he became a senior priest after eating the exotic plant. How could he break through and become a senior priest all of a sudden…?

Now it seems that it is all due to Duan Changqing.

“How is he?” The Ghost King asked Xie Yunnan.

“His injury is serious.” Xie Yunnan’s voice trembled.

Duan Changqing’s situation can be called dying.

If it’s just to help him break through, Duan Changqing doesn’t have to do this…

“Let’s take him back for treatment.” Not daring to delay matters, the Ghost King frowned at Wen Che and the others. These people knew Duan Changqing’s strength, but who knows what they planned or if they’ll hinder things.

“I’ll go with you.” Wen Che said.

The Ghost King frowned and looked at Wen Che: “What’s your plan?” What happened today has a lot to do with Wen Che.

Wen Che was a little ashamed. “I always have to repay the grace of saving my life, and will definitely protect him.”

He recognized the person who blew himself up, and knew that they were targeting him. It was him who implicated Duan Changqing.

Duan Changqing saved him despite his previous suspicions…

Wen Che was loyal to the High Priest because he was saved by the previous High Priest, and now he is naturally grateful to Duan Changqing.

In addition, he also wanted to find out where the High Priest’s body was.

“Let’s go then.” The Ghost King also felt that it was better to bring Wen Che with him.

“Wait a minute, there are traitors amongst my subordinates, I’ll deal with them first.” Wen Che said.

When Wen Che came to Hongye City, he brought seventeen people in total.

In the previous battle, four of them were implicated and died, while thirteen survived.

The boulder collapsed due to planned explosives – it’s obvious there’s a traitor in their midst… Wen Che’s subordinates were also smart, watching each other warily, not letting anyone escape. However, whether traitors remained amongst the 13 were unknown.

For a while, Wen Che was unable to determine which of these people was the traitor. He planned to confiscate everyone’s communication equipment, and interrogate them after Duan Changqing was rescued.

“What are you going to do?” the Ghost King asked.

Wen Che shared his thoughts.

The Ghost King said: “Let me!” The Ghost King didn’t want to waste time, so he directly released his companion beast, and used his practice on the group.

Even a ninth-level warrior of the same level would fall into confusion, let alone those who are far weaker than him!

As soon as the Ghost King moved, the truth was quickly uncovered. There were actually two people involved, neither of them from Wen Che’s side.

Without waiting for the Ghost King to say anything, Wen Che slapped the duo directly to death, then looked at the Ghost King gratefully. “Thank you.”

During the interrogation just now, he felt there was something wrong with the gaze of Wen Che’s subordinates, but he didn’t think much of it.

People have always been afraid of mind-controlling exercises, so these people are probably afraid too.

“Your practice is really powerful.” Wen Che couldn’t help commenting. He was obsessed with the pursuit of strength, so he never married or had interest in others, but during the battle just now… he felt that the man with burn marks on his face was very beautiful.

Fortunately, he is strong and mentally stable, and has calmed down.

But his subordinates… Something’s wrong with the eyes they stared at Xie Qing with.

They’re probably feeling the effects, and suffering from their own sinister thoughts.

After resolving the matters on Wen Che’s side and Xie Yunnan giving Duan Changqing some simple treatment, everyone rushed back to Hongye City together.

On the way here, Xie Yunnan thought about a lot of things, and his mind was also full of thoughts on the way back.

He felt a little uncomfortable learning that Duan Changqing concealed his identity from him. Even his father knew the truth. However, he also understood Duan Changqing’s choice.

When Duan Changqing was rescued by him, his physical condition was really bad. Such weakness could not be faked.

And he’s the Ghost King, a wanted criminal… It’s normal to be unwilling to reveal his true identity.

The most important thing is that Duan Changqing never hurt him from the beginning to the end, but helped him instead. That he could become a priest all depended on Duan Changqing.

But being able to understand doesn’t mean that he’s free from grievances.

Duan Changqing has been pretending, so how can he dare believe him?

Also… the Ghost King was already a wanted criminal more than 20 years ago. How old is Duan Changqing now?

Who knows how many things he’s experienced as the Ghost King, will he really be sincere?

Is their marriage certificate useless?

Such thoughts ran through Xie Yunnan’s head, but given Duan Changqing’s condition, none of them were voiced. After returning, Xie Yunnan still took good care of him, and prepared a lot of food for Duan Changqing after he woke up.

Previously he wondered how Duan Changqing could eat so much… It turns out that he needed to eat more to heal his injuries.

After the Ghost King settled Wen Che down, he came to Xie Yunnan: “Yunnan, Duan Changqing’s identity, dad didn’t hide it from you on purpose. He didn’t let me tell you.”

The Ghost King deliberately placed all fault on Duan Changqing’s shoulders. However, he’s also seen Duan Changqing’s injury, and knows they weren’t faked. Thinking about what happened before…

Although Duan Changqing is strong, his body is probably really bad, and he can’t use such extreme force.

No wonder when he arrested Duan Changqing, Duan Changqing beat him up, and then rested for many days.

No wonder Duan Changqing confronted Meng Yan and others as the Ghost King that day, and then said that he was unwell.

And this time… if Duan Changqing’s body is fine, why would he be injured?

Duan Changqing rescued him and made his son a high-ranking priest…

The Ghost King said: “He probably didn’t mean it either. His intentions for you are true.”

Xie Yunnan nodded: “I know.” Seriously, why would Duan Changqing weaken himself in order to help him level up?

“Yunnan, I’m sorry.” The Ghost King said again.

“It’s okay.” Xie Yunnan smiled and went to see Duan Changqing again.

Who would have thought that the weak and handsome young man lying on the bed is actually the feared “Ghost King”?

Lol, Ghost King pitting his son-in-law, more like pitting himself.
