Chapter 25

PS: Dear kind readers, could you please give the first red ticket of today to "Ghost God"? It would be even better if you could throw in a few monthly tickets as well!

Xiaoming has already mobilized the White Robe Army and the Vanguard Camp, and naturally, he would not let the matter fizzle out. Chasing down the people of Ying Qin, he still wanted to use "momentum" to pressure them, thinking they would submit and give him some advantages. This was a complete miscalculation.

This sharp and capable blonde girl was surely being encouraged by some force behind the scenes, wanting to probe from another angle. After all, they had already lost three factions, including the middle-aged man who met Luo Xuan, the four foreigners, and Ma Yuan, who was possessed by the Zhang demon. They had no intention of continuing the conflict.

But they never considered how Xiaoming would react!

Xiaoming did not want to settle for peace or negotiate with anyone. He only wanted everyone to know that if they dared to act against him, they would have to pay a terrible price. At least the price should be so severe that no one would dare to think about it again.

Even if he would soon no longer need this identity, the power he had created would not disappear with him. It would continue to act on his behalf. Therefore, this time, Xiaoming would absolutely not settle for peace.

Xu Xun did not know what Xiaoming was thinking. He hesitated for a moment and said to Xiaoming, "I want to know Luo Xuan's whereabouts. Can you help me find out?"

Xiaoming shrugged and said, "I don't mind helping you, but the problem is that I have too many troubles right now and may not have the time. I will keep an eye out for you, but it won't be very efficient."

Xu Xun sighed and said, "Luo Xuan and I are not close friends, but we are familiar. I never expected him to betray Penglai, even to the point of abandoning the divine power he had accumulated for thousands of years."

Xiaoming was slightly surprised and almost asked, "Don't you know why he betrayed Penglai?" But he quickly realized that Xu Xun truly did not know that Luo Xuan had fled Penglai because of the divine crystal fragment.

After discussing the main issues, Xu Xun immediately invited Xiaoming for tea. Xiaoming originally wanted to see Luo Xuan, but after a brief hesitation, he accepted Xu Xun's invitation. He had a good impression of Xu Xun and hoped to learn more about the divine realm from him.

His main body was suppressed, and only his avatar had escaped. His influence, which had been built up over hundreds of years, was widespread in the main world and had considerable penetration into the dark world. However, because his main body was suppressed but not stripped of his divine duties, he could not become a god again, even if he wanted to switch to another divine realm.

Therefore, he knew nothing about the changes in the divine realm. Learning more from Xu Xun could bring him immeasurable benefits.

Xu Xun, without any suspicion, asked Xiaoming where the best place to drink tea in the city was. As a local, Xiaoming directly took him to a teahouse he often visited.

This teahouse was founded by a wealthy merchant who was extremely fond of tea and did not care much about profit. There were not many visitors, but the environment was extremely elegant, and only the best tea was used. Unlike most teahouses, which used inferior tea to deceive those who did not drink tea, this place served only the finest.

Xiaoming, having lived for seven hundred years, initially found modern beverages like coffee, cola, soda, and various juices quite novel. However, over time, he still preferred tea. Although Xiaoming enjoyed tea, he was not particularly particular and did not have the leisure to prepare it himself, so he often came to this teahouse to read books, occasionally play a game of Go, and spend the whole day.

Xu Xun, sitting down in the teahouse, could not help but praise, "I have been in the main world for more than half a month, and there are few places where one can see such mountain scenery. This place is indeed serene and far superior to others."

Xiaoming smiled and said, "I once thought about buying this place, but the owner is a very good person, and I cannot force him."

The city where Xiaoming lived was half mountainous and half by the water, but both the mountains and the water were far from the main urban area. Only this place had a small mountain range stretching for two to three kilometers, very close to the city. However, the houses here were very old, and when developers occasionally entered, the housing prices in the new developments were astonishing.

The location of this teahouse was the best in the area, facing the bustling main urban area and backed by the mountain, with scenery on both sides.

Xu Xun smiled and chatted casually with Xiaoming. The more they talked, the more they found they were compatible, and they spent the entire afternoon together.

Just after school let out, Lu Wenyin rushed over. Xiaoming, of course, did not tell Lu Wenyin about Xu Xun's true identity. He vaguely introduced Xu Xun and then pulled Lu Wenyin to sit down.

Lu Wenyin, noticing that Xiaoming had not gone to school, called him during the first class break. She knew he was just being lazy, so she felt relieved and came to find him after school.

Lu Wenyin was somewhat curious about Xu Xun. After learning about Xiaoming's extraordinary identity, she had always wanted to know more about him. However, since they had not been in a relationship for long, she had not had the opportunity. Xu Xun seemed very familiar with Xiaoming and had a unique aura, leading Lu Wenyin to guess that he might be similar to Xiaoming, though she was not entirely sure.

Just as Lu Wenyin sat down, Xiaoming had just ordered her a light meal. Although the teahouse provided meals, they were not particularly special, only offering light meals. At that moment, Xiaoming received a call from someone else.

This call did not surprise Xiaoming; it was from Han Wu. He said excitedly, "Ma Yuan fled the country this morning, taking a large amount of cash from all his companies. He is now in a small African country."

Xiaoming smiled and asked, "Is that all?"

Ma Yuan's matter had been a heavy burden on Han Wu. This young master was not an ordinary person, and his disappearance or death would cause significant problems. However, Han Wu never expected to hear about Ma Yuan's escape in the morning. He had seen Ma Yuan turn into a monster and be burned to death by Xiaoming's fire dragon, so he knew the news was completely false.

But when he used all his means to verify, he found that no one had detected the lie. Even Ma Yuan's father was under investigation by a higher department due to Ma Yuan's escape, which meant no one would hold him accountable for Ma Yuan's matter.

Han Wu was overjoyed and quickly took care of a few things before calling Xiaoming to report the good news.

Xiaoming's impatient tone made Han Wu hesitant to say more. Xiaoming could casually kill Ma Yuan and make him appear to have escaped after death. It would only take a moment to finish him off. Han Wu quickly said, "The Fitzroy 64 villa that Ma Yuan sold to you, which I handled, has all the procedures completed and is now in your girlfriend's name. If you are free now, would you like me to bring all the documents to you?"

Xiaoming chuckled and said, "Hold all the documents in your hands!"

Han Wu did not know what Xiaoming meant but obediently held all the documents in his hands. Then, the underworld boss felt a slight lightness in his palm, and all the documents disappeared. He rubbed his eyes and repeatedly confirmed, but still could not believe it.

It was not until Xiaoming's voice came through the phone, saying, "I have taken all the documents, so you don't need to worry about it," that Han Wu was shocked and almost fell backward. The shock in his heart was indescribable.
