Chapter 987 A Secret That Cannot Be Known by a Third Party
At this time, Yang Jian was staring through the small window on the ward door with an unpleasant expression, staring at Song Jiang who was eating grapes on the bed and chatting with Gu Hao and Deng Kai. He asked Meng Zhe in a cold voice, "Are you sure he is Song Jiang now and not Qinglong?"

Meng Zhe, who was leaning against the door, snorted and said, "It's so obvious that you can't see it? Why don't you go in and try it yourself... When Qinglong pulled out the dragon bone sword from his soul through the wooden door, you and I both know the consequences. The dragon bone sword will instantly dissipate after entering Zhulong's body. Without the dragon bone sword, Qinglong's soul is probably not safe. For so many years, you have been worried that Qinglong would bring disaster to the world after his rebirth, but what did he do after he finally came back to life? To save a few mortals he once hated the most, he pulled out the dragon bone sword from his soul? Doesn't this sound a bit ironic?"

Yang Jian was so stunned by Baihu's words that he had no power to refute anything. After all, what he said were all facts. It was indeed beyond Yang Jian's expectation that Qinglong would do this. But he always felt that Qinglong would not have such a short life. After all, a centipede will not die until it is stiff. Even in such a difficult situation back then, he could survive for another thousand years, let alone now?
But seeing Baihu's attitude, Yang Jian felt that he might have thought too much. After all, the past was the past, and the present is the present. Back then, Baihu and Suzaku were protecting Baihu, and now it is Qinglong who is protecting Baihu. The two situations are indeed not the same... So he glared at Baihu, then turned around and left without even entering the door.

In the ward, Deng Kai was chattering non-stop, "You guys were in a really close call this time. I heard that the snowy mountain you came from is not even visited by shepherds! If it weren't for that person who had great skills and dispatched a plane in time...you all would have really become ice sculptures."

When Song Jiang heard this, he spat out the grape skin in his mouth and said with a funny face, "Nonsense, you put the sheep in the snow where there is no grass growing?"

Gu Hao looked at Song Jiang, who was already full of energy, and seemed to be hesitant to speak. At this time, Meng Zhe happened to come in with a bunch of medical records in his hand, handed them to Song Jiang and said, "The doctor said that there is nothing wrong with your body, and you can be discharged tomorrow."

Song Jiang took the receipt, looked at it and said, "I told you it was fine... but you didn't believe me and wasted so much money."

Gu Hao smiled and said, "Let's check An Xin..."

Song Jiang then looked at Meng Zhe again and said, "How do you feel now? Are you okay?"

Meng Zhe snorted, "I've been fine for a long time... Who is as weak as you?"

Song Jiang nodded after hearing this, and then asked with some concern, "Are you sure...? I know you were also seriously injured at that time."

Meng Zhe said helplessly, "Sure..."

"Oh, by the way...where is Brother Xiao? He is seriously injured." Song Jiang continued to ask.

This time Meng Zhe finally lost his patience and said angrily, "Stop worrying about other people's affairs... With Yang Jian around, how could he die? But you, do you still remember when your last memory was?"

Seeing this, Gu Hao pulled Deng Kai away and said, "Come on, God of Wealth, I'll accompany you to complete the discharge procedures for Song Jiang."

Deng Kai wanted to stay and listen, but was dragged away by Gu Hao, leaving Song Jiang and Meng Zhe alone in the VIP ward. Song Jiang knew that some things could not be avoided, so he had to bite the bullet and said, "I don't remember it very well, it should be... maybe... about the same..."

Seeing that Song Jiang was being vague, Meng Zhe said in a deep voice, "Or do you have nothing to ask me?" Song Jiang smiled awkwardly and said, "There's nothing to ask... If I knew it, you would have told me long ago. If I didn't know it, you wouldn't tell me even if I asked, right?"

"Stop smiling like that. When did you know that Qinglong was on your body?" Meng Zhe asked in a deep voice.

Song Jiang pretended to be surprised after hearing this, and patted his chest and said, "The ghost in me is the Azure Dragon God! Fortunately, fortunately... I always thought that I was possessed by a lonely ghost from somewhere. Fortunately, it is the Azure Dragon God. You and he are old acquaintances."

Meng Zhe then asked tentatively, "Can you... still feel his presence now?"

Song Jiang looked bewildered and said, "In fact, if he hadn't taken the initiative to talk to me, I wouldn't have felt his presence at all... Why don't you try to call him out, what if you can call him out?"

Meng Zhe knew that Song Jiang seemed to be avoiding the question, so he said seriously, "I have been looking for a suitable instrument to carry Qinglong's spirit, and I have never thought of letting him occupy your body." When he said this, his expression darkened slightly and he said, "But it should be unnecessary now. The reason why I could feel your breath before was because he was always in your body, but now I can't feel anything."

After hearing this, Song Jiang's expression also became stern, "Are you saying that the Azure Dragon God's spirit has completely dissipated?!"

Meng Zhe nodded helplessly and said, "In fact, when he died, the remaining soul was incomplete. This lord and Suzaku used his dragon bone sword to complete his soul. But when he was in the sect, in order to break the indestructible red scales of Zhulong, he pulled out the dragon bone sword from his soul. It is self-evident what his final outcome would be."

Seeing that Meng Zhe was in a bad mood, Song Jiang put away the smile on his face and stopped talking carelessly, "Don't be too sad... I know Qinglong did this to protect everyone. Although I don't know why he became a demon back then, I feel that he should be a good person, no, a good god."

At this time, Gu Hao and Deng Kai just came back from outside, so Song Jiang and Meng Zhe did not continue the topic. After a while, everything seemed to have calmed down. Meng Zhe and Song Jiang also tacitly stopped mentioning the name Qinglong. But Gu Hao looked at the state of the two and felt that this was the calm before the storm...

Sure enough, at noon that day, Gu Hao suddenly received a call from Song Jiang, who mysteriously asked him to go out for a chat, saying that he wanted to talk to him about some "secrets that cannot be known to a third person." Although Gu Hao didn't know what Song Jiang was up to, he still rushed over as promised.

When Gu Hao hurriedly rushed to the meeting address sent by Song Jiang, he saw Song Jiang sitting upright with a gloomy face. After he sat down, he asked tentatively, "Is... something wrong?"

Song Jiang shook his head first, then said in a deep voice, "Gu Hao... I want to ask you to do me a favor, a very important favor."

Seeing that Song Jiang was deliberately emphasizing the importance of this, Gu Hao immediately looked alert and asked, "Are you... the real Song Jiang?"
