The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, becoming a disciple of Yue Buqun.

Jiang Ning looked at her and said.

Most of the ghost stories in the world are man-made.

Although Jiang Ning's arrival in this world was quite unexpected, apart from that, he had never encountered any extraordinary events in the past ten years. He had been traveling the world for several years and had never seen anything like it, although he had seen some tricks involving gods and ghosts.

Despite Jiang Ning's words, Du Lanyin was still somewhat nervous.

Although she was older than Jiang Ning, she had basically grown up in Huashan and had never traveled far from home.

"Senior sister, there's no need to worry."

Jiang Ning comforted her, saying, "The shopkeeper just said that the white-faced evil spirit often appears at night? I'll go out for a walk later and see if I can run into that white-faced evil spirit so I can see what kind of person he is."

"Junior brother, don't take the risk."

Upon hearing Jiang Ning say this, Du Lanyin instinctively wanted to stop him.

"Maybe the white-faced evil spirit the shopkeeper mentioned is real? What danger might you face if you encounter it?"

Jiang Ning smiled and said, "Then I'd like to see if that evil spirit of his can deal with me, the King of Hell."

Before Du Lanyin could say anything more, Jiang Ning spoke first.

"Senior sister, get some rest."

After saying that, he went inside.

Upon seeing this, Du Lanyin sighed and then went inside as well.

Hai hour (9-11 PM).

Jiang Ning pushed open the door and stepped outside.

It was already late, and even the corridors inside the inn were deserted.

Jiang Ning left the inn alone.

……

"Mr. Han."

Inside a luxury mansion in Guyang County.

Main hall.

A well-off middle-aged man sat at the lower end of the table, looking at the person in the main seat with a fawning expression.

"Recently, things have been unsettled in Guyang County. A white-faced evil spirit has appeared. My youngest son is only four years old this year, and I'm afraid that the white-faced evil spirit will target him. Could you..."

Han Tianpeng remained indifferent, picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and then spoke.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen to your family."

Chapter 344: I'll stand up for you, how about it?

Upon hearing Han Tianpeng's words, the portly man's expression turned bitter. He wanted to say something more, but seeing Han Tianpeng's face, he dared not speak and could only remain silent.

"I'll remind you of something."

At this moment, Han Tianpeng spoke again.

The portly man quickly made a listening gesture.

Han Tianpeng glanced at him before speaking slowly.

"In a few days, there will be a major event for my Songshan Sect. At that time, heroes from all walks of life in the martial arts world will come. During this period, you should keep a low profile and avoid provoking anyone you shouldn't, and don't cause any deaths."

"Sir, I understand, I understand."

The portly man said with a fawning smile, "You already said that last time, and we did exactly as you said. No one will die."

"Ah."

Han Tianpeng gave a soft "hmm," then gave him a half-smile.

“I’m telling you, your family isn’t small, you have money and power, why do you still need to squeeze money out of those people?”

The portly man smiled somewhat awkwardly, but cursed inwardly.

If they don't plunder, where will they get the money to give you gifts?

“I didn’t care before, and I won’t care in the future. Now, you guys should tone it down and not push them too far.”

"I understand, I understand."

The portly man nodded with a fawning smile, then cautiously added, "Sir, two more beauties from the Western Regions arrived a couple of days ago. Would you like them?"

Han Tianpeng's expression remained unchanged upon hearing this.

"Take it to my room."

"Hey, hey."

The portly man nodded and bowed repeatedly before leaving.

Not long after the portly man left, several disciples from Mount Song entered.

"Master."

The group bowed to Han Tianpeng.

Han Tianpeng asked, "What is it?"

One of the disciples said, "Master, the sect leader has sent someone to tell you to return to Mount Song. The next few days may be quite busy, and we need you to go back and help out."

"I see."

Han Tianpeng nodded.

……

Jiang Ning walked down the street. It was already midnight, and the street was deserted and very quiet.

After wandering around the county, Jiang Ning found nothing unusual. He searched around but couldn't find the white-faced evil spirit the shopkeeper had mentioned.

After wandering around for a while, Jiang Ning finally returned to the inn.

When Jiang Ning returned to the inn, he didn't disturb the others in the inn. However, just as he was about to enter the room, the door of the next room suddenly opened.

"Senior sister, aren't you asleep yet?"

Jiang Ning was somewhat surprised.

It's not too late now; it's almost dawn.

"I'm a little worried because you haven't been back for so long."

Du Lanyin said.

Jiang Ning chuckled.

"I just went out for a walk."

Du Lanyin asked, "Did you encounter that pale-faced demon?"

Jiang Ning shook his head.

"No."

"Ok."

Du Lanyin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's getting late, Junior Brother, you should get some rest."

Jiang Ning smiled and nodded, then went inside.

Early the next morning.

Du Lanyin pushed open the door and went down to the lobby, where she found Jiang Ning already sitting at a table with food laid out on it.

Good morning, senior sister.

Jiangning Road.

"Junior brother, you're up so early."

Du Lanyin was surprised, and then sat down opposite Jiang Ning.

At this moment, the waiter brought over plates of food and placed them on the table.

"Sir, your dishes are all served. Please enjoy your meal."

The waiter was astonished to see the table laden with food.

"Wait a minute, I have something to ask you."

Just as the waiter was about to leave, Jiang Ning called him back.

"Is there anything else you need, sir?"

The waiter inquired.

Jiang Ning asked, "I heard yesterday that there's a Xu family in your county, do you know them?"

On the way here, Du Lanyin had already told Jiang Ning about the powerful family that had ruined her family.

Before going there, Jiang Ning planned to first learn about this powerful family from the people of the county.

Upon hearing Jiang Ning mention the Xu family, the waiter's expression subconsciously changed.

"Why are you asking about them, sir?"

Jiang Ning smiled and said, "I've heard that the Xu family is charitable and kind, and they care about their community. They are a good family."

"fart!"

As soon as Jiang Ning finished speaking, the waiter couldn't help but curse, then immediately realized his mistake and kept apologizing to Jiang Ning.

"Sir, I'm so sorry, I wasn't talking about you."

"It's alright."

Jiang Ning smiled, indicating it was alright, then asked with curiosity, "But judging from your reaction just now, it seems like what I said earlier wasn't true?"

"Well..."
