Evil of all ages

Chapter 74 Naturally Suspicious

"The arena is a major feature of the Ghost Market; it can make a fortune every day. You'd better manage it well."

In the Ghost Market, no one was more familiar with the arena than Lu Tianyi, so Huang Taichu asked Lu Tianyi to continue managing the arena.

"Thank you, Lord Ghost Emperor"

Lu Tianyi thought that the Ghost Emperor would reshuffle and redistribute the cards.

To prevent subordinates from deceiving their superiors and subordinates, to ensure mutual supervision, and to facilitate management, it is normal to cross-assign duties.

He thought that since he was no longer running the arena, he might come to Mingxin Pavilion as a manager.

Who would have thought that he was the one lacking vision?

It's he who thinks too much.

Gao Xing accepted the order and led Mei Xiaoqiao to get up and step aside.

"Let me tell you something: in this world, we are not afraid of anything."

"Besides my various miraculous powers, my martial arts level is also higher than you can imagine."

"I am not a Grandmaster at the peak, nor am I a so-called half-step Grandmaster."

"I am a true Grandmaster!"

"That's right, you heard me correctly."

"I'm talking about a grandmaster, the kind of grandmaster you understand."

The words fell
"Suck~"

Many people at the scene gasped in shock.

What did they hear?
Following the Pure Yang Master, the second Grandmaster was born.

And this new Grandmaster was right before their eyes.

For a moment, most of the people at the scene were staring at Huang Taichu with fervor, as if Huang Taichu had become their idol.

Luo Sanxiao believed it; he had no choice but to believe it. He was a Grandmaster of Supreme Strength, and the Ghost Emperor could crush him like a piece of cake. They were simply not on the same level.

Qi Hongfei believed him and began to recount the strange events that had occurred inside the prison.

What's wrong with treating him as a grandmaster?

He believed that Huang Taichu's incredible abilities were something he gained by breaking through to the Grandmaster level.

This is the difference between immortals and mortals!

Besides being shocked, Liu Caiyue felt endless bitterness in her heart. She was certain that she would never be able to get off this pirate ship again.

Shangguan Yunyao...

……

"Aba Aba~"

Seeing Shangguan Yunyao's dazed and adorable expression, Huang Taichu teased her.

Shangguan Yunyao didn't know what "Aba Aba" meant, but seeing Huang Taichu's expression, she knew that Huang Taichu was teasing her.

Her hand slipped and pinched Huang Taichu's waist.

Perhaps knowing there were other people around, she didn't pinch too hard, just gave it a little nip.

Looking at the delicate and beautiful Shangguan Yunyao, Huang Taichu waved for the others to leave.

"Old Nan is still waiting for me to come back, and the snakes are still waiting for me to feed them."

When Shangguan Yunyao saw Huang Taichu's possessive gaze, she lowered her head, not daring to look him in the eye. Clearly, she knew what was about to happen.

"His subordinates will inform him; a snake won't starve to death even if it goes hungry for a while."

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Yunyao nervously rubbed the hem of her clothes.

"How about I wait until we're married before I touch you?"

Seeing that Shangguan Yunyao was hesitant, Huang Taichu stopped making any further moves.

Seeing that Huang Taichu was considering her feelings, how could Shangguan Yunyao let her man put up with it?

She wrapped her arms around Huang Taichu's neck and gave him a kiss.

Huang Taichu smiled, picked up Shangguan Yunyao in a princess carry, and walked deeper into Mingxin Pavilion.

……

On the way back to the Colosseum
"I need someone around me. Would you be interested in becoming my bodyguard?"

Lu Tianyi had no shortage of people, but he knew how dangerous it was to fight in the arena.

He had repeatedly invited Mei Xiaoqiao to work for him at his residence. If Mei Xiaoqiao agreed, he could have kept her as a free person.

Mei Xiaoqiao, however, had a "wild" nature and seemed to know that he was "pitying" her, so she rejected him again and again.

This time, he asked out of habit, without holding out much hope.

"OK"

Mei Xiaoqiao agreed.

Upon hearing this, Lu Tianyi stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Mei Xiaoqiao in surprise.

"You agreed?"

"Um"

Mei Xiaoqiao nodded.

"Okay, from now on, my safety is in your hands."

Lu Tianyi didn't ask why, and walked ahead with a smile.

Mei Xiaoqiao, like a wildcat suddenly having a master cat, obediently followed behind him. Qi Hongfei and Liu Caiyue were traveling together.

One is a Gu healer, and the other is a descendant of the Medicine King Valley.

When people come together, competition is inevitable.

Then Qi Hongfei collapsed.

"You crazy woman, don't go! You haven't given me the antidote yet."

Qi Hongfei, who was lying on the ground, saw Liu Caiyue walking further and further away, seemingly ignoring him, and he became anxious.

Liu Caiyue didn't care anymore, because she knew Qi Hongfei's medical skills; at most, it would take him a little time to cure the poison she had given him.

"hateful"

Qi Hongfei saw that Liu Caiyue had disappeared.

He couldn't help but start cursing.

After a quarter of an hour, he finally used the Gu worms to cleanse his body of toxins.

As he rose from the ground, he thought to himself that next time he absolutely could not just compete in poison skills; using Gu poison was his true ability.

……

Prime Minister's Residence

The 90-year-old prime minister, Gao He, is a veteran of four reigns.

An old man who doesn't die is a thief, especially an old man like him who has risen and fallen seven times; he knows even better how to protect himself.

Since the Xu family rose to power, he has chosen to stay at home with chronic illness and avoid their sharp edge.

His main task now is to maintain his health!
Yes, he wants to live longer.

Let's endure this a little longer, let some people die, and let the Xu family fall into ruin.

They strive to become veterans of five, or even six or seven dynasties.

His confidence stemmed not only from consuming the flesh of a thousand-year-old Tai Sui when he was young, but also from acquiring top-tier Taoist health cultivation techniques.

As a result, he was exceptionally healthy, and even his actual appearance showed that he was only about sixty years old.

To avoid unnecessary trouble, he has to look "old and decrepit" every day.

"call"

He was practicing moves in the back garden, which were blooming with flowers, but they didn't quite resemble Tai Chi. His movements were incredibly slow.

At this moment, his grandson Gao Ge came over with a letter, which contained a notice.

Seeing that his grandfather hadn't stopped, Gao Ge didn't dare to make a sound and just stood there quietly waiting.

"call"

After half an incense stick's time, Gao He stopped practicing.

He is no ordinary person. He possesses top-tier Taoist health cultivation techniques, which are still techniques, but he is not skilled in combat.

"What's the matter?"

Gao He sat back down at the tea table, and Qingfeng Danyu brewed himself a pot of tea.

He didn't allow servants to wait on him, and there weren't even a few servants in the back garden. Brewing tea and planting flowers were also part of his health regimen.

"Grandpa, Mingxin Pavilion has audaciously issued a notice to us, ordering our people to evacuate the Ghost Market within three days."

“Mingxin Pavilion only has two Xiantian masters; they don’t have the guts to do this.”

"I suspect that Mingxin Pavilion has changed hands, or that someone is trying to muddy the waters of the Ghost Market as a form of spying on us."

Gao Ge analyzed.

"There's not much profit to be made in the ghost market. Since someone is eyeing it, let's get out of here."

Gao He calmly sipped his tea.

"Grandpa, do you suspect that this is the Xu family spying on us?"

Gao Ge asked curiously.

"The Xu family isn't that stupid. You should know that I am a veteran of four dynasties with disciples all over the world. The Xu family would have to think twice before doing anything they want."

Gao He said calmly.

"Then why...?"

Gao Ge was curious about the reason for leaving the ghost market.

"Your grandfather was able to rise and fall seven times because he understands that you have to give up something to gain something."

"Whoever wants access to the Ghost Market must know that the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Seventh Prince both have a share in it."

"Knowing there was a quota, they still dared to send over the notice."

"You think the other person is a fool, rather than having any confidence."

“Every emperor, as he grows old, inevitably becomes suspicious by nature.”

"The closer it gets to this point, the more low-key we become."

"Only by backing down and not making a fuss will the emperor not notice us."

"Everyone can tell whether the profits gained from the ghost market are more important than their own lives."

Gao He said calmly.

Gao Ge understood. No wonder his grandfather refused to see all the disciples who came to visit him; he was afraid the emperor would become suspicious.
