"Miss Ji, many elders in the family have demanded to deal with you. Their inability to distinguish right from wrong clearly shows that they want to fra you for murder. This ans they will surely oppose the Ji Family. Even if you don’t wish to cooperate with , they will still pose a threat to you, so if we collaborate and you help , you are also helping yourself," Zheng Ji continued, seeing Ji Qian still hesitating.
"Additionally, the mbers of Netherworld Palace in Huaxia are bound to face the entanglents of the National Security Bureau during their operations. If we work together, these troubles can be avoided, and I can assure you that I will continue to assist you until Mr. Ghost regains his mory."
"This..."
The group hesitated; Ghost’s amnesia was not a good thing for them, and it was also a tricky situation. Whether his mory could be restored largely depended on luck, or could be called ’fate.’ Now Zheng Ji ntioned that Bai Mountain’s snow lotus could help restore mory, and he was willing to help retrieve it, which was indeed a big help for them. However, if Netherworld Palace fully intervened in the internal affairs of the Zheng Family, it might be problematic.
"Alright, I agree." Soul Destroyer and Demoness Nightmare exchanged a glance and nodded, acknowledging that at present, finding Ghost and helping him regain his mory was most important, the rest would be dealt with step by step.
"If that’s the case, I agree too," Ji Qian echoed.
"Great, thank you all for your assistance. This is Mr. Ghost’s address; however, if you go directly to find him, it might cause conflict, as he has now lost his mory and might not rember you."
"That’s no problem; we have so photos here that can prove our identity," Ji Qian said lightly.
"That’s the best approach, here is the address, I’ll hand it over to you," Zheng Ji passed a note over.
"Thank you, Mr. Zheng, there’s no ti to delay, we will head over now," Ji Qian nodded and said. The group stood up, they lost interest in the delicious dishes in front of them and wanted to find Ghost imdiately.
"Everyone, please do not forget about our cooperation,"
"Certainly, Mr. Zheng, rest assured,"
East Sea Hospital.
"Didn’t expect that Ghost could even find love here, truly a blessing in disguise," Soul Destroyer teased, while Nightmare couldn’t help but roll her eyes. In the world of cultivators, love is more precious than diamonds or gold, or rather, the chance of seeing a cultivator couple might be rarer than finding gold on the street. The reason is quite simple, cultivators are in a position of licking blood off the blade, in the Huaxia family it might be alright, but in the Western underworld, the battle among cultivators is heard of every day. Even the twelve Main Gods are always ’ready for battle’. In such an environnt, love’s long-term companionship becos too pale, vows beco lighter than a feather, insignificant; most realistically, you might walk into the marriage hall happily one day and turn into a cold corpse amidst battle the next day.
Of course, this cruel reality does not quite apply to Netherworld Palace, as the strongest existence among the twelve Main God Temples, there aren’t many opponents for the Netherworld Palace.
Demoness seed to feel a bit unnatural, instinctively grasping Soul Destroyer’s palm.
"Excuse , Ghost... oh no, Mr. Gu Li, where is he?" Ji Qian approached the reception desk, asking a nurse.
"You... what relation do you have with him?" The nurse looked at the group suspiciously, her eyes filled with doubt and vigilance.
"We are his friends, oh, friends from before he lost his mory. Recently, I heard he’s working here as a security guard, and ca from another place specifically to find him." Ji Qian took out a stack of photos, which were all group photos of the Netherworld Palace mbers, and showed them to the nurse.
"I see, I will lead you to him," the nurse stood up and led the group to the security room.
"Old Li, these people are here to find Gu Li," the nurse said to a middle-aged man, who was the head of security and often looked after the newly arrived Ghost.
"Who are you..."
"Hello, Mr. Li, we are his friends, these are our previous group photos. I heard he is here, so we specifically ca from Yanjing."
"Oh, oh, I see, but Gu Li is not on shift today, he should be out with that little girl Gu Xin. The whole facility knows about these young lovers," Old Li said with a smile, taking a sip of hot tea, "Alright, he should be back soon, you can wait here for a while, I need to get back to work."
"Didn’t expect them to be quite playful," Ji Qian shook her head helplessly.
"Perhaps we should wait at the entrance, we might have to wait for a while," Soul Destroyer suggested to the group, and Ji Qian nodded in agreent.
At the hospital entrance.
"Help, thief, soone stole my wallet," as the group arrived at the entrance, they saw a young man gripping a shoulder bag, running frantically. Behind him, a middle-aged woman was chasing him, ceaselessly screaming and asking for help from passersby.
The thief was a strong young man who quickly pulled away a distance and was about to run onto the main street.
"Soul Destroyer, give her a hand," Ji Qian said lightly.
"Yes," Soul Destroyer picked up a stone from the ground and flicked it lightly, the small stone shot out like a bullet towards the male’s left leg.
Swish.
Swish.
From the center of the street, a "silver light" flashed through rapidly, so fast that passersby couldn’t see clearly, but... as cultivators, Ji Qian and the Netherworld Palace mbers were clearly able to see another stone.
"What was that?"
Bam.
"Ahh," just as the words fell, the previously sprinting thief fell to the ground suddenly, groaning in pain, clutching his legs, continuously shouting in agony. The hospital security guards who had co running from afar pinned the thief firmly to the ground, Ji Qian also led the group forward.
"You all are quite skilled," at this mont, a familiar voice ca from behind the group. Turning around, they saw a man and a woman.
"Ghost, we’ve finally found you," the group’s expressions shifted slightly, Soul Destroyer rushed forward and gave Ghost a "warm" hug.
"Hey, who are you people," Ghost didn’t react, instinctively pushing Soul Destroyer away.
"We... do you really not rember?" Demoness stepped forward, upon hearing this, the group’s faces showed disappointnt, it seed Ghost had truly lost his mory, forgetting all past events and companions.
"Who exactly are you?" at this point, Gu Xin also separated the group and Ghost, cautiously guarding against them.
"We are his companions, but now he has amnesia, he probably doesn’t rember us," Ji Qian quickly explained.
