However, the moment Hao Qiang opened his mouth, he shot him a 'refuse to talk' look.

Hao Qiang: "…" Hehe.

It seemed necessary to let him know who owned the house.

Hao Qiang ignored the look of rejection and walked over to the bar. He picked up a sparkling and translucent goblet and poured himself a glass of red wine.

As a special ability assassin, drinking alcohol would numb his nerves and slow his reaction. In a quest, even a 0.1 second delay in his reaction time could take his life. Although he had already been separated from that life for many years, this habit of his was still preserved.

In his memories, Jing Yan didn't drink, so when Hao Qiang saw the drunk Jing Yan in the alley that day, he was shocked.

Seeing Hao Qiang pour himself a cup of wine, Jing Yan looked at him in surprise.

Hao Qiang looked at him and raised the cup in his hand, "I'm not just here to look at all the wine."

Jing Yan didn't say a word. He merely gave him a cold look before turning his head away.

"I've always been curious about one thing." Hao Qiang slowly said as he looked at Jing Yan.

"Join the [Ghost Domain]?" Jing Yan replied as expected.

He didn't expect Jing Yan to actually respond to him. Hao Qiang nodded his head.

Jing Yan sneered and said, "Don't you see that I brought you a lot of useful information?"

Hao Qiang was stunned, "So you don't really want to join them."

Jing Yan nodded his head. "I used them, but they only took advantage of me. And they seem to be quite convenient, almost forcing both you and me into dire straits. "

"Heh." When he thought back to that day, Hao Qiang could not help but laugh, "Then how did you end up like this?"

"The consequences of using a reverse Discipline. That's the least possible backlash." Jing Yan said without much concern.

Hao Qiang frowned. He had always thought that Jing Yan had successfully used his reverse power. He didn't expect that it was also the result of him forcibly using it. If that was the case, becoming a normal human being like this was indeed the lightest consequence.

At this point, Jing Yan suddenly looked at Hao Qiang and said, "Hao Qiang, if I were to tell you that I don't want to fight anymore, would you believe me?"

Hao Qiang was stunned and looked at him in disbelief. This was a weasel wishing a chicken a new year. It truly was an uneasy feeling.

Looking at Hao Qiang's expression, Jing Yan knew that he didn't believe him. He didn't say anything else but lowered his head to look at his own wine cup.

"I have to leave in a few days. Help me take care of Qi Lin. That child is quite pitiful." Jing Yan suddenly said.

"Where are you going?" Hao Qiang turned his head to look at him in shock.

"The world is big, there must be a place for me. "And I know that when you see me, you will always remember what happened back then. Me too, so it's better if we don't meet each other." Jing Yan lightly said: "Since the last time I met you, I've thought about it a lot. That's right, my aptitude has always been inferior to yours. I've been unwilling to admit it all these years, which is why it ended up becoming a great disaster later on." I've always thought about just dying, but one time when I was standing at the edge of a cliff, I suddenly thought, I can't die yet. "

As he spoke to here, Jing Yan looked at Hao Qiang and firmly said, "My sin has not been redeemed completely. I can't die so easily."

"And then you went to [Ghost Domain]?" Hao Qiang guessed.

Jing Yan nodded indifferently. "Yes, since [Ghost Domain] destroyed my father's precious blood and sweat, I will destroy them as well. Furthermore, because of the relationship between us, [Ghost Domain] 's Protector agreed to cooperate with me without hesitation. But this goal is not enough for me alone. I need strength, so I still thought of you. "

"Then why did you still wholeheartedly want to kill me that day?" Hao Qiang looked into Ye Zichen's eyes and said directly.

When Jing Yan heard this, he revealed a helpless smile and said: "It's because I'm unreconciled. Hao Qiang, did you know? "All these years, I've been so focused on defeating you. How can I let go of this obsession for a moment? So, I want to get to know something, something that will make me give up all hope."

"Therefore, you are willing to be a pawn in the hands of [Ghost Domain]."

Jing Yan replied with no hesitation.

"Master once said that people like us shouldn't have too deep of an obsession." Hao Qiang replied indifferently in the face of the other party's honesty.

Jing Yan nodded his head in approval, but then said helplessly: "Father did indeed say that before, but there is no other way. His obsession has already been formed, and it will be difficult to get rid of it if one can't."

"Where do you want to go from now on?" Since he did not want to talk about this topic anymore, Hao Qiang changed the topic.

"I don't know." He really did not know that his original plan was to destroy [Ghost Domain], but he was now just an ordinary person. Let alone [King of Hell], even the most ordinary Ghost sect under [Ghost Domain] could easily kill him.

Looking at his blank expression, Hao Qiang opened his mouth, "Why didn't you bring Qi Lin with you? I don't think he would want to separate from you."

Hearing Hao Qiang's words, Jing Yan shook his head and said, "He grew up really fast. I can't teach him anything anymore. Following you, his future path will be wider. Furthermore, I am not a suitable person to be a teacher. In the past, I didn't have anything in my heart other than hatred, but now, I don't even have the ability to hate anymore.

"He will miss you."

"There will always be a day when I leave."

"Are you sure you don't want to stay with him?"

"No …" Jing Yan was stunned. "Are you inviting me to stay?"

Hao Qiang nodded his head noncommittally.

Jing Yan was stunned as he looked at Hao Qiang's serious expression. However, he still shook his head and said, "No, I'm not fit to stay here."

Seeing the resolute expression on the other person's face, Hao Qiang lowered his head and looked at the wine cup in his hand, "Take care."

After drinking the last mouthful of wine, he turned around and went back to his room.

He should have tried his best to persuade Jing Yan to stay, but what Jing Yan had done before kept flashing through his mind. Even though he, Hao Qiang, was not a vengeful person, this hatred that was tantamount to the killing of his father was difficult to bear.

It was good for Jing Yan to leave, otherwise Hao Qiang would not be able to forgive him.

As expected, a few days later, Jing Yan bid his farewells to Hao Qiang. It was unknown what Jing Yan said to Qi Lin, but that child actually did not leave with him. He only stared at his master's leaving figure with reddened eyes, and in the end, did not chase after him.

"Just let him go like that?" The butler asked doubtfully as he watched Jing Yan leave.

Hao Qiang glanced at him for a moment, but in the end, he nodded his head without saying anything. What else could he do? He couldn't kill or kill, so he could only stay by his side and make trouble for himself.

Knowing Hao Qiang's intentions, the butler didn't say anything else and only sent people to follow him secretly. After confirming that the other party was really wandering alone, he finally felt completely relieved.

Hao Qiang naturally knew about this, so he didn't say anything and just let him go.

In the following days, after Yin Ning recovered from her injuries, she moved back to Hao Qiang's villa and returned to the crew.

Initially, he knew that Yin Ning was reluctant to come back and face everyone, but after being persuaded by Qi Mengxi and the rest, he finally nodded his head in agreement. It was only after this incident that the discomfort between her and everyone else became evident. Hao Qiang and the others naturally knew the reason, but they didn't try to poke it out. They only followed the natural course of events and believed that as long as they passed this period of time of adaptation, they would still be able to do the same as before.

As for what that person had said about Yin Ning liking him, Hao Qiang had chosen to ignore it. It wasn't because he didn't care, but because he cared too much. Previously, when Mu Haotian was chasing after Yin Ning, he had acted too strangely. Now that he had Qi Mengxi and Ai Wenwen, he couldn't let them down.

He knew in his heart that they had already made a huge concession for him, and he couldn't let them down again. Especially Qi Mengxi, it was so difficult for him to win her forgiveness, and he couldn't afford to lose her again. He couldn't afford to take such a risk.

Meanwhile, Yin Ning seemed to know his thoughts, intentionally keeping her distance from him.

However, they didn't know that all of this had fallen into her eyes. Seeing how much better their relationship was than a stranger, and thinking about how they fought side by side in the past, a look of worry appeared in her eyes. She did not dare to claim to know Hao Qiang very well, but she did know him a lot better than the average person. As for Hao Qiang's feelings for Yin Ning and Yin Ning, she had already understood most of them. When she later found out that Yin Ning really liked Hao Qiang, and that Hao Qiang would even give in to him in silence, she no longer cared about their relationship.

However, as a person standing between Hao Qiang and Qi Mengxi, she felt that she couldn't do anything, so she chose to remain silent.

As for Qi Mengxi, who knew nothing at all, she simply felt that the relationship between Hao Qiang and Yin Ning was a little strange, but she didn't consider it to be any deeper. Furthermore, after hearing that Yin Ning had been helping Hao Qiang quietly all this time, her affability level increased drastically, unconsciously becoming closer to Yin Ning.

But no matter what, the women were getting along harmoniously.

After that incident, facing Hao Qiang's return and Yin Ning's appearance, [Ghost Domain] did not express anything under the media's propaganda. After that incident, facing Hao Qiang's return and Yin Ning's appearance, [Ghost Domain] did not express anything under the media's propaganda.
