"Why, my temper is just bad. What can you do about it? It’s people like you who got him injured." Gu Xin snorted coldly and walked past.
"What? He’s injured? What’s going on?" Hearing this, Ye Shikai couldn’t help but feel worried. Although Ghost had amnesia, his Inner Strength was still intact. To injure him, it mustn’t be an ordinary person, most likely a trained assassin.
"You don’t need to know, and it’s none of your business. Put the things down and leave." Gu Xin said coldly, impatiently giving him a shove.
"You..." Ye Shikai felt a surge of anger. Such good intentions were seen as offensive liver. How could this Gu Xin be the "Little Miss" Soul Destroyer claid her to be? She was more like a tigress.
"I must find him today." Ye Shikai said defiantly, "Where’s the director? I’m going to see the director."
"Hey, what’s with you? I’m Gu Li’s girlfriend. I have the right to represent him. You’re not welco here." Gu Xin grabbed Ye Shikai’s hand.
"I... I’m here to see a doctor. Is that okay?" Ye Shikai said reluctantly. Speaking of it, Ghost was his brother, so Gu Xin was like a sister-in-law to him. He couldn’t possibly get physical, but now Ghost didn’t rember these things. As long as he found the Bai Mountain snow lotus, everything would fall into place.
"The registration desk is on the left side. Go find it yourself." Gu Xin pointed not far away and said blandly.
"Gu Xin, wait a mont." Ye Shikai suddenly said. Gu Xin stopped in her tracks and turned to look at him with disdain, "What else do you want?"
"Gu Xin, I know you have so misunderstandings about for certain reasons, but... please trust , I won’t cause Gu Li any trouble." Ye Shikai controlled his emotions and spoke to Gu Xin in a calm tone.
"Oh." Gu Xin glanced at him, rolled her eyes, and turned to leave.
"Hey, are you brushing off like this? Where is he? Tell ." Ye Shikai felt helpless. What kind of person was this?
"If you keep pestering like this, I’ll call security." Gu Xin turned her head and warned.
"Fine, go ahead and call security, and it’d be best to call Gu Li over too." Ye Shikai was a bit anxious, grabbing Gu Xin by the arm.
"Who’s there?" Suddenly, Ye Shikai’s expression changed as a murderous aura surged from the side. Instinctively, he let go of his hand, turning to block with his palm.
Bam.
A long punch ca flying at Ye Shikai’s side face. Luckily, he reacted quickly, blocking the fist with a sideways palm. The punch landed squarely in his palm, and Ye Shikai mustered all his Inner Strength, stopping both the person and punch.
"Ghost, it really is you!" Once Ye Shikai saw who had co, he couldn’t help but call out in surprise.
"Li, stop quickly. You’re still injured." Gu Xin rushed forward, "Don’t make a move, or you’ll tear your wound."
"I’m warning you, stay away from her." Ghost said coldly, his tone full of warning, as he seed to have misunderstood, thinking Ye Shikai had been teasing Gu Xin earlier.
"Cough, cough, you’ve got it wrong." Ye Shikai quickly explained, "I ca to find you. You might not recognize now because of your amnesia."
"I don’t care who you are, you just leave now." Ghost said coldly, protecting Gu Xin with one hand, eyes fixed on Ye Shikai.
"You... fine, I heard you were injured. Here’s so healing dicine, take it back and use it." Ye Shikai felt helpless. Both of them were unyielding, and if he kept trying to persuade, it might backfire. So, he had no choice but to leave first. Before going, he left treasured healing dicine and so scar-removing ointnt.
"Xin’er, are you okay?" After Ye Shikai left, Ghost hurriedly asked.
"I’m fine, that person just said he’s your brother." Gu Xin’s emotions slightly cald, explaining to Ghost. Earlier it was quite rushed, and Ye Shikai forgot to take out the "evidence." To prove the "brother" identity, he brought many photos, but didn’t even get the chance to show them.
"Forget it, don’t mind him. I won’t acknowledge these people."
.....................
Bai Mountain.
"It’s already March, why is it still so cold?" After getting off the plane, everyone could not help but put on down jackets. Demoness shivered repeatedly. This ti of year in the Northeast, the weather was still very cold, even in cities, not to ntion where they were heading, Bai Mountain, with an altitude of several thousand ters. Keeping warm was a top priority for the equipnt.
"That’s normal. Today’s weather is nice. I checked the forecast; it’ll snow heavily in the coming days. In mountainous regions, snow is the most dangerous thing, especially as we’re heading to Bai Mountain’s forbidden area." Zhang Lin told everyone.
"No matter what, we have to go, and it must be quick." Ji Qian always had a vague feeling of unease. Probably, they weren’t the only ones eyeing the snow lotus.
"Lord Moon God, climbing the mountain in snowy weather is not a wise decision."
"But it’s a decision without options. Inform everyone, organize the equipnt, and set off at midnight." Ji Qian turned to look at Soul Destroyer, "Have the weapons arrived?"
"Just received the intel, they’ve arrived at the sub-base." Soul Destroyer made an "OK" gesture.
Northeast Sub-base.
"Lord Moon God, Soul Destroyer, Demoness, you’re finally here." Arriving at the Netherworld Palace’s northeast sub-base, they t a familiar face.
One of the leaders of the Netherworld Palace, Short-nosed Crocodile.
Ever since Ye Shikai, the Netherworld King, settled in Huaxia, the Netherworld Palace’s influence started to spread. First, it was Yanjing, then East Sea and Hong Kong; now they’re making a big move in the Northeast. The expansion of sub-bases naturally required many leaders for managent, so many leaders of the Netherworld Palace were dispatched to sub-bases in various locations.
"Short-nosed Crocodile, long ti no see. Are our supplies ready?" Ji Qian slightly smiled, and after the pleasantries, went straight to the point.
"Of course, besides the weapons and equipnt for entering the snow mountain, I’ve also prepared warming boxes." Short-nosed Crocodile nodded, and after everyone arrived at the warehouse, it was filled with a lot of supplies.
"I heard Lord Ghost had an accident and lost his mory, I’m very anxious. I was even thinking of applying to transfer back to Yanjing, but I didn’t expect you all to co over."
"This ti we’re looking for the Bai Mountain snow lotus to restore Ghost’s mory. Short-nosed Crocodile, you’ve been here a while, you should understand the situation well. Why don’t you and Zhang Lin co with us into the mountains?"
"That would be for the best. I’m familiar with Bai Mountain, and can help you."
