Chapter 351: Gather

Faced with Ji Xiangs endless chatter, Li Huowang did not speak and just continued to listen. If this person only spoke about fabricated historical records, then it wouldnt have been enough to scare Ji Xiang so much. There must be some other reasons.

This person is easy to recognize. He has a fan with the words Everyone has their values written on it. If you encounter him, remember to stay far away. Hes not a good person.

Li Huowang thought for a moment and probed, Lord Ji Xiang, when we came out from the Buddhas Skeleton Temple that day, did you ask me that question because Zhuge Yuans abilities are strange?

Yes, Ji Xiang nodded. This person can somehow change fate.

Change fate?

Not change a persons fate, but change destiny itself. He has an old almanac. Whatever he says is auspicious will definitely happen. If he says otherwise, then it will definitely bring bad luck.

Words creating reality? Li Huowang was stunned. Although he had seen a lot on his journey so far, this kind of supernatural ability was still a first for him.

If this person had goodwill towards him, that would give him great support. But if he harbored ill intentions

After some contemplation, Li Huowang asked again, Lord Ji Xiang, does this person use his abilities more for good or for evil?

How would I know? I only know that whenever he appears, something bad is bound to happen. He is like a jinx, replied Ji Xiang as he picked up a cup of tea and took a sip. Then, he continued, Alright, Ive told you enough. Its already a rare exception. Do your job well, and if you succeed this time, then Ill put in a good word for you when I return to the Bureau.

Thank you, Lord Ji Xiang. Li Huowang turned to leave.

His expression remained serious as he looked at the wrapped spindle. Although he had learnt some information about Zhuge Yuan from Ji Xiang, he still did not know if Zhuge Yuans goodwill toward him was genuine or not.

If it was, that didnt make sense. But if it was false that made even less sense! What was his objective?

Asking directly like this wont work. I must think of a way from this spindle, and I need to figure out what this thing is first.

But for now, I should set this matter aside and help Ji Xiang find a Muddled One. Its the most crucial step to get information regarding Bei Feng.

Including Ji Xiang and himself, there were a total of six people. This was enough to show the other partys determination.

From the two newcomers, one was a Moongate kid with the surname Liu, and the other was a Shaman.

Li Huowang carefully observed the drum hanging on his waist, and was rather certain that this was a Shamans drum. It was identical to the one that he had previously seen on Li Zhis waist.

However, compared to the beggar-like Li Zhi, this man was obviously very different. He wore a black fur coat, and he seemed quite fierce with two diagonal black knife scars across his face. It seemed that a machete would fit him better than the drum on his waist.

He greeted those who he knew, then turned to the man with the scarred face and asked, Are you a Shaman? Wheres your Second Deity?

The scar face crossed his arms and glared at him. Who the hell are you? Why are you prying into my business?

At that moment, the kid from Moongate, Liu Zongyuan, saw that Li Huowang had unsheathed his sword by half an inch and quickly stepped forward to block Li Huowang, trying to mediate. Ah ah. Brother Er, theres no need for this. Consider it as giving me some face, alright?

Li Huowang looked at Liu Zongyuan before turning to them, and then pressed down slightly, the killing intent immediately vanishing.

Come, lets go over there. Dont make things difficult for Ji Xiang, said Liu Zongyuan.

Li Huowang may not give face to others, but since it was Liu Zongyuan who had helped him once, Li Huowang decided not to confront this person.

He glanced at the wooden mask on Liu Zongyuans face, and then asked, Brother Liu, how have you been lately?

Still the same. Lets help Ji Xiang through this difficult time first. If hes not doing well, then we wont either, said Liu Zongyuan.

This was true. They were like grasshoppers strung together with a string. If Ji Xiang fell, whatever he promised would also go up in smoke.

Whats the background of that person? Why does Ji Xiang want to find a Shaman as a companion? From what I know, they arent usually very capable, asked Li Huowang.

Ah, your words are rather subjective. There are talented people in every profession, and the Shamans are no exception, said Liu Zongyuan.
