Chapter 732 Master and Disciple Break Off Relationship, Old Friends Reunite
"Finished playing? Then I need to go home too."

Ye Zhen stretched. He had heard Guo Fan's voice very loudly just now.

"and many more!"

Guo Fan immediately spoke up, which made Ye Zhen frown. "Little Guo, you also want to fight me? That won't do. I, Ye, only love to challenge the strong. You, a loser, are not worthy of my attention."

Guo Fan's temple veins throbbed.

If it weren't for the fact that he really couldn't beat Ye Zhen, he would have really wanted to tear that foul mouth apart. "What I mean is, didn't you and Fang Shiming agree to spar after this is over? Why don't we go find him together now?"

A flash of emotion flashed in Ye Zhen's eyes, but in the end he shook his head and said, "Even if I want to beat him up... I want to spar with Xiao Fang, but it has to be more formal, such as the next challenge, etc. When masters fight, they must pay attention to a certain artistic conception. How can I do it so casually?"

"He didn't issue you a challenge in those woods a couple of days ago," Guo Fan reminded him.

Ye Zhen said, "You're right, but that was Xiao Fang's fault. I, Ye, am on the path to invincibility, so naturally I can't be as careless as him. Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. I need to hone my sword, so I won't waste your time."

Ye Zhen left decisively, giving Guo Fan no chance to persuade her.

Guo Fan took a deep breath and didn't stay any longer. After all, he still needed the headquarters to raise funds for him so he could find a wife in the Year of the Monkey. He wouldn't refuse any job assigned by the headquarters unless it involved going to his death.

It was just relaying a message from headquarters and explaining the details. Although it was a job that would offend Fang Shiming, was he afraid of offending Fang Shiming?
Fang Shiming had already offended everyone back when he married the ghost messenger Lao Fan!
He didn't have a good time after that, constantly being threatened by Fang Shiming. Now that he had a chance to counterattack, he naturally wouldn't give it up.

Everyone has the Seed of White Mist, do you really think we're afraid of you?
After leaving the branch, Guo Fan immediately got into the ghost taxi, stepped on the gas and rushed into the suddenly rising white mist ghost domain, and then headed towards the old house in the forest.

It's probably because the Ghost Taxi was modified by the White Mist Ghost Domain that you can transfer through the White Mist Ghost Domain no matter where you want to go.

Moreover, regardless of the destination, it only takes half an hour, which is neither too long nor too short, neither too much nor too little.

"I wonder how Fang Shiming got there. It probably won't be too fast," Guo Fan thought to himself as he drove.

It's past 1 a.m. now, and Lin Yuan should still be at his old house in the woods.

Of the existing means of transportation, the ghost taxi is in his hands, while the supernatural bus is at headquarters, in the hands of Old Qin and Lu Zhiwen.

Since they need to race against Fang Shiming, headquarters should definitely keep the supernatural bus there and not let it wander around. They should even take Fang Shiming there.

Half an hour passed in a flash. Guo Fan tried to call Lin Yuan from the car, but as before, he still couldn't get through.

"Brother Yuan didn't refuse on purpose, but was affected by the ghosts in the old house? That's impossible. Even if Zhang Dong was an old monster from the Republic of China era, he couldn't possibly be stronger than Brother Yuan. Right, it's respect, that's right, it's respect!"

After getting out of the car, Guo Fan quickly walked towards the alley.

Unlike when Zhang Lei came before, the ghosts on this path have disappeared. Guo Fan doesn't know why, but it's good news for him.

They soon arrived at the entrance of the old house. Guo Fan calmed his heavy breathing before going inside.

The room was quiet, but crowded. Guo Fan saw many familiar faces.

Lin Yuan goes without saying, as do the two hosts, Zhang Xianguang and Zhang Youhong, and Tong Qian and Liu Qingqing, who came with Lin Yuan.

Others include the older generation such as Li Qingzhi, Meng Xiaodong, Luo Wensong, Zhang Bohua, and Luo Qian.

Then there were Zhang Xian, Yang Jian, Yang Xiaotian, Nie Yingping and others.

So lively?

As soon as Guo Fan entered, everyone looked at him. The tense atmosphere made him swallow hard.

Have no idea.

None of these people were weak, let alone him, who had now become an ordinary person with only the Seed of White Mist.

He would feel more at ease in the ghost taxi, since there would be some security.

But now?
"Xiao Guo, what's the matter that you rushed over here?" Lin Yuan asked.

Guo Fan breathed a sigh of relief and quickly walked to Lin Yuan's side. He glanced at Tong Qian and then said, "Brother Yuan, something's happened. It's Fang Shiming, Xiao Fang. He took Lao Fan to headquarters and said he wants to invest."

“Yes, I’ve heard about this from Xiao Lei before.” Lin Yuan nodded.

Xiao Lei?

Is it Zhang Lei?
Guo Fan felt a little awkward, but he didn't dwell on the details and continued, "The matter is over, but some problems have arisen."

"Just say it directly, stop being so long-winded, it's driving me crazy!" Liu Qingqing snorted coldly, criticizing him without any politeness.

Guo Fan was somewhat annoyed, but seeing that Lin Yuan didn't say anything to stop him, he immediately gave up the idea of ​​retaliating. After all, he couldn't even beat Liu Qingqing now.

"Xiao Fang wanted to invest in the headquarters, but the headquarters disagreed. In the end, they agreed to have a contest, and whoever won would get to do what he said. As a result, Xiao Fang lost and left the headquarters in a fit of anger. Of course, that's not important. What's important is that he left Lao Fan at the headquarters, and Lao Fan was injured in the contest just now and is still unconscious. Now the headquarters has no choice but to ask Lao Wei to take care of Lao Fan for the time being."

Guo Fan quickly explained the situation using the most concise language possible.

"Wait! You mean, someone from headquarters knocked Lao Fan unconscious?" Yang Jian suddenly leaned over, looking surprised.

Who is Lao Fan?

Those are ghost messengers, and moreover, they have over a hundred mindless ghost messengers under their control. Ever since Fang Shiming gained control of the ghost messengers through "marriage," his strength has been assessed as very high.

At least at headquarters, there shouldn't be anyone who can fight him.

But now, things have taken a turn for the worse. The headquarters has quietly defeated the ghost messenger, Lao Fan, in a direct confrontation. Although they said they knocked him unconscious, this was to accommodate the "store manager's" perception.

In reality, Ghost Messenger Lao Fan is currently suppressed, or even in a state of dormancy or shutdown.

Headquarters, is it that powerful?
"Is this Elder Qin?" Yang Jian continued to ask.

Guo Fan shook his head repeatedly, "No, no, Old Qin didn't make a move. It was Lu Zhiwen who drove the bus and crashed it into the TV screen."

A haunted bus, so dangerous? Everyone present, except for Lin Yuan and the Seven Elders of the Republic of China, wore thoughtful expressions.

"Did someone from headquarters send you here?" Lin Yuan suddenly asked.

Guo Fan's heart tightened, and he quickly smiled and said, "Yes. It's Minister Cao Yanhua from headquarters. He asked me to talk to you about the situation, Brother Yuan, to see if we should pick up Lao Fan tonight or talk about it tomorrow. Also, he hopes you won't misunderstand, Brother Yuan. Asking Lao Wei to take care of Lao Fan is only because they used to know each other. It's definitely not to ruin Lao Fan and Xiao Fang's relationship, and it's definitely not to be a third party!"

It turned out to be because of this!
Everyone present was shrewd, and upon hearing this, they instantly understood Guo Fan's, or rather, the headquarters', intentions. At the same time, they couldn't help but despise Fang Shiming.

Such a good opportunity for the "store manager" to get involved was wasted like this. This ability is really hard to respect.

"Okay, I see."

Looking at the time, Lin Yuan stood up and said, "It's about time. Let's call it a day. I should go back and rest so I won't be unable to get up tomorrow."

Guo Fan quickly asked, "Brother Yuan, are we going to headquarters to pick up Lao Fan?"

Lin Yuan gave him a meaningful look and asked with a smile, "Aren't you tired yet? Want to make a few more trips?"

what?
Guo Fan's heart tightened, but before he could think further, Lin Yuan had already walked past him. "Back to the shop, Guo, you can take me there first. Lao Luo, bring your grandson to the shop tomorrow. Xiao Tong, Xiao Yang, and Xiao Liu, you'll all have your interviews tomorrow. Since you're all excellent candidates, we should respect your opinions."

"clear."

"understood."

Guo Fan didn't dare linger and immediately followed, as did Tong Qian and Liu Qingqing.

Yang Jian and Yang Xiaotian of the Gengshen year exchanged a glance and also chose to take their leave. At this moment, Zhang Xianguang also looked at Nie Yingping and the others, who immediately nodded and also took their leave one after another.

In an instant, the once crowded lobby was nearly half empty.

"Zhang Xian, is there anything else?" Zhang Xianguang asked.

Zhang Xian's expression shifted uncertainly. "You...don't you really have anything to say to me at all?"

"Everyone has their own choices, and I won't force you to interfere. However, I should have taught you the principle of 'once you've made a move, you can't go back on it.' Stay true to yourself, stick to your choices, and no matter what the future holds, at least don't leave any regrets, because those are things you can never make up for in your lifetime. Okay, that's all for today, get out of class dismissed."

With a single word, "get out of class dismissed," Zhang Xianguang lowered his head to burn paper money, not glancing at Zhang Xian even once more.

A shout of "get out of class dismissed!" brought Zhang Xian's memories back to forty or fifty years ago, when he was just a child in his early teens, while Zhang Xianguang was also a young man.

At that time, Zhang Xianguang was a teacher in the town, and also the only teacher.

Although they were relatives, Zhang Xianguang was also his mentor, teaching him many principles, letting him know about propriety, righteousness, integrity, and shame, and understanding the various principles of the world.

The first lesson Zhang Xianguang taught him didn't involve many grand principles; the first thing he taught them was this word:
No regrets on your move!

Back then, he sat with his peers, listening to this word with a blank expression, but in the blink of an eye, all those images vanished.

All the memories have returned to the present.

Looking at Zhang Xianguang, who was still in his early thirties, not far away, Zhang Xian's eyes blurred. "I understand. Since that's the case... Zhang Xianguang, from now on, we... are true enemies. I hope that one day, I won't die in a hospital bed, but at your hands."

Zhang Xianguang paused slightly while burning the paper, but quickly resumed his actions.

In the firelight of the burning yellow paper, Zhang Xianguang saw Zhang Xian's departing figure. He only looked up briefly when Zhang Xian was almost out of sight.

His eyes were cold, numb, and devoid of any emotion.

"Master and disciple turn against each other, tsk tsk tsk, what a fine drama." Zhang Youhong's finger unconsciously tapped lightly on Zhang Dong's red coffin.

She could vaguely sense a familiar supernatural power within the coffin—the White Mist Ghost Domain—but she didn't reveal it.

After all, she is now a true member of the Peace Hotel.

While teasing Zhang Xianguang, her gaze also swept over Luo Wensong, Luo Qian, Meng Xiaodong, Zhang Bohua, and Li Qingzhi.

These people must have felt the same way, but not one of them spoke up, as if that feeling didn't exist at all.

"Just an outdated pawn. I never thought I'd meet you all again. The shopkeeper's power is truly terrifying; he can even maintain the consciousness of a dead person for so long." Zhang Xianguang raised his head, his numb gaze falling on Luo Qian, Luo Wensong, and Li Qingzhi.

He was clearly unaware that Li Qingzhi's body retained a portion of its consciousness.

"I never imagined that I could come back to life after being dead for so long and see the world now. It's really a pity, if only I had known this would be the future..."

Luo Wensong's voice was hoarse and didn't sound human.

His gaze fell on Zhang Xianguang, becoming even more numb and cold.

“Don’t look at me like that. Back then, you agreed to push me down the stairs, didn’t you? Otherwise, with your strength, how could I have succeeded?” Zhang Xianguang was not to be outdone and pointed out some things from back then.

original.

Luo Wensong fell from the sixth floor of the Ghost Post Office, and it turned out that Zhang Xianguang pushed him down by his own hand!

This news surprised Meng Xiaodong and the others, who were clearly unaware of such a detail from back then.

"Don't be so nervous. I only have seven days left, and more than half of them have already passed. It's impossible for me to settle accounts with you now. After all, you were also part of his reservation."

Luo Wensong's words sent a chill down Zhang Xianguang's spine. He gritted his teeth and asked, "Am I nervous?"

Luo Wensong ignored him and instead looked at Li Qingzhi and Luo Qian, saying, "The three of us are kind of brothers in misfortune. Let's take advantage of these few days we're still alive to catch up and make up for our regrets."

“Okay,” Li Qingzhi agreed.

Luo Qian nodded and said, "Okay, no problem. It just so happens that your grandson is going for a job interview at the store tomorrow, so let's go together. At least we should try to get a relatively good environment for your grandson, so that some people know that he also has elders and won't be bullied."
