Chapter 27

Jiang Wei and Long Tao returned to the school one after the other; Jiang Wei was strutting proudly, while Long Tao was hanging his head in dejection. Without a doubt, the other ghosts had already guessed the outcome of their "conversation."

"Is that so? It looks like Long Tao got beaten up?"

"How could that be? Although Long Tao has only been in the Tianhuang Pavilion for a year, he has learned quite a bit of genuine skills. How could he lose to a new ghost?"

All the ghosts found it hard to believe, but the truth was right before their eyes, leaving them no choice but to accept it.

"Long Tao, what happened?" Fang Siqi pulled Long Tao aside and asked.

"I was careless!" Long Tao's face was full of dejection.

Was he really careless? Of course not! This was the excuse Jiang Wei wanted him to give, and Long Tao was happy to embellish it. Thus, what happened in the dense forest, as retold by Long Tao, became—Jiang Wei shamelessly ambushed him, and Long Tao lost due to carelessness.

"He must have been planning something underhanded all along, that's why he went out with you!" In this situation, Fang Siqi couldn't blame his little brother; after all, his little brother had done his best and even got a good beating. "Is there anyone else willing to help me teach this new ghost a lesson?" Fang Siqi asked the other little brothers.

"Boss, I'll go!" The ghost who volunteered was named Jiang You; his strength was about the same as Long Tao's.

Jiang You thought that since Long Tao lost due to carelessness, the opponent's strength couldn't be that great. If he went all out from the start, he would definitely be able to teach him a lesson. It was this confidence that made Jiang You volunteer.

So, Jiang You followed the same path Long Tao had taken.

"Junior Brother Jiang, I have some private words to say to you!" Jiang You taunted.

"Oh, what a coincidence, Senior Brother Jiang, I also have something to talk to you about!"

Thus, Jiang Wei and Jiang You walked out of the school in a very harmonious atmosphere.

Fifteen minutes later...

Deep in the dense forest, Jiang Wei's voice could be heard intermittently:

"... Stop being stubborn, Long Tao already told me everything. You have a lot more money than him. Hand over all your ghost money quickly! What, you're still resisting? Do you want me to strip you and search you? ... Yes, that's better. If you had been more cooperative from the start, you wouldn't have suffered so much. ... Really only two thousand ghost money? Damn, Senior Brother Jiang, there are so many ghosts in the ghost world who can't even afford to eat. You should be more frugal! Next time, remember to save more ghost money, I'll come to collect it... Got it? Yes, yes, it was 'carelessness.' Go, be a good boy!"

...

When Jiang You returned to the school, he complained to his senior brother Fang Siqi with a bitter face: "Boss, I was careless!"

"What, you were also careless?" Fang Siqi was speechless. "Is there any other ghost willing to help me teach him a lesson?"

...

Another fifteen minutes later, deep in the dense forest, Jiang Wei's voice could be heard again:

"Senior Brother Qian Duoduo, your name doesn't match your reality! You only have a few pieces of ghost money, and you still call yourself 'Qian Duoduo'? ... Forget it, you need to work harder to earn money! Do you even want to marry a female ghost in the future? ... Go, go back, remember, it was 'carelessness'!"

...

"Damn, you were also careless?" Fang Siqi was losing his cool. "Is there anyone who wasn't careless, go!"

...

"Didn't you say you were the most cautious and meticulous? How could you also be... careless?" Fang Siqi really wanted to slap him. "Xiao Xing, you are the most careful, you go this time!"

...

"Alright, no need to say anything more, I can see it all from your expression! You were careless again, right? I think you should change your name to 'Carelessness'!" Fang Siqi didn't even bother to ask anymore; he already knew the answer.

Fang Siqi's little brothers were truly pitiful. Each of them went out with full confidence and determination to regain their dignity, but each returned with a face full of sorrow and three words—carelessness.

Each ghost who returned honestly said these three words, partly because of Jiang Wei's threats and partly to embellish themselves. More importantly, each of them wanted to share their pain with their teammates—after all, as the saying goes, it's better to suffer together than alone!

In less than an hour, all of Fang Siqi's little brothers with soul concentrations below ten times that of an ordinary ghost had been beaten by Jiang Wei. In this short time, Jiang Wei had earned nearly ten thousand ghost money, a very inspiring entrepreneurial story!

Finally, Fang Siqi couldn't take it anymore: "He Xie, you go!" He Xie's soul concentration was already thirty times that of an ordinary ghost, and he looked very powerful. Fang Siqi, unable to bear it any longer, sent this old ghost who had been in the Tianhuang Pavilion for ten years to fight; he didn't believe that this could still be "carelessness"!

"Chatting again?" This time, Jiang Wei didn't agree to "chat" but screamed, "Damn, are you done yet? Can't you say what you need to say in the school? Why do you have to drag me to the small forest? People who know will understand that I'm just chatting there; those who don't will think I'm doing something dirty—especially with a group of male ghosts! I have my dignity, you know! Say what you need to say here!" Jiang Wei wasn't arrogant enough to challenge a ghost with a soul concentration ten times stronger than his.

"Uh..." He Xie was at a loss.

As long as he could get Jiang Wei into the small forest, He Xie was confident he could beat him up. But in public, he didn't dare to attack a fellow disciple—especially a new one who was much weaker than him.

"Does Senior Brother He have something to say? If so, say it quickly. If not, please step aside, I need to study hard and make progress every day!" Jiang Wei looked innocent and pure.

He Xie could only return helplessly.

"Junior Brother Jiang, I didn't expect this from you!" Lin Nianluo smiled, a smile that made countless ghosts swoon. "You do have some skills!"

"What do you really want?" Jiang Wei asked irritably. The reason he had to frequently enter the small forest today was because of this Senior Sister Lin Nianluo. Although he had earned nearly ten thousand ghost money in less than an hour, he had also made many enemies among the fellow disciples in the pavilion.

Lin Nianluo said innocently, "Wasn't I just following the Pavilion Master's order to introduce you to some fellow disciples? Although the method was a bit special, the effect is undeniable—look, in just a short while, every fellow disciple here has a deep impression of you!"

"Phew!" Jiang Wei almost spat blood. "Is it that simple?"

Lin Nianluo smiled but didn't say anything.

At this moment, a guard standing outside the school suddenly announced, "Elder Bai has arrived!"
