Chapter 176: Judgment (1)

<

Yang Haoran thought that after he said these words, Master Wu would calm down and reconsider the matter.

However, the scene he imagined did not happen. It seemed that Master Wu had already thought it through before, understanding the pros and cons. So his reminder didn't have much effect. Master Wu still decisively decided to join the Yin Division.

Since Master Wu had made his decision, Yang Haoran didn't waste any more words. He first called Master Jiang to explain the situation, then let Master Wu go directly to find Master Jiang.

Master Jiang was now in charge of this matter, so Yang Haoran sent Master Wu to find him. Initially, Yang Haoran could have taken Master Wu to find Deng Feng, but he simply didn't have the time now, so he had to trouble Master Jiang.

Before Yang Haoran joined the Night Watch, Master Jiang had also warned him that joining the Night Watch might not necessarily be a good thing. The choice Yang Haoran made back then was no different from Master Wu's today.

Now that things had come to this, Yang Haoran faced the danger of soul scattering. He deeply understood that Master Jiang's warning was indeed reasonable.

However, he had no regrets because since becoming a member of the Night Watch, his life had gained color. He could experience the magical side of this world, feeling fortunate.

As for whether Master Wu would regret it in the future, he didn't know.

Declining Master Wu's retention, Yang Haoran left the Wu Family villa. He didn't go anywhere else, heading straight back to the grocery store.

Master Wu, on the other hand, hurried to the South Lake Death God Temple, filled with excitement and anticipation, to open the door to his own mysterious world.

Back at the grocery store, Yang Haoran didn't open for business as usual. He locked himself in the shop, preparing to make a final push in the next twenty or so days.

In these last twenty days, he intended to draw talismans and successfully become a talisman master. Only by becoming a talisman master would he have the possibility of drawing the special talismans that the Fu Sect had lost. Perhaps they could be of some help to him.

During the preparation period, Yang Haoran's phone suddenly rang. Taking out his mobile phone and looking at it, he smiled. The caller was unexpectedly Xu Meijing.

Xu Meijing was calling him back!

Yang Haoran felt a bit nervous but still pressed the answer button.

"What do you want?" came Xu Meijing's cold voice as soon as the call connected, just like before, no pleasantries, straight to the point, her character showing no change.

"Nothing much, just wondering how you've been lately," Yang Haoran chuckled and replied.

"Ancheng is a mess, cleaning up is troublesome. There's no good days to speak of. How about you in Lecheng? I heard things haven't been too peaceful there lately either," Xu Meijing responded.

Yang Haoran chuckled, saying, "There have been some minor disturbances, but nothing major."

As he opened the door, a sturdy figure came into view.

The person was dressed plainly, with patches on multiple parts of their clothes. Their trousers were rolled up high, giving them a countryside look.

Looking at this unfamiliar face and sensing the faint Yin Qi emanating from him, Yang Haoran's expression showed puzzlement.

"Who are you?" Yang Haoran asked, puzzled.

"Can I come in for a drink of water?" the sturdy man asked.

Of course, Yang Haoran wouldn't easily let the other person in. He looked at the sturdy man, and his expression became somewhat strange for a moment.

This wasn't the wilderness. If someone wanted water, it was simple to get. This was clearly not about drinking.

Moreover, judging from the faint Yin Qi emanating from the other person, either he had been recently haunted by ghosts, hence the presence of Yin Qi, or he was like Yang Haoran, a member of the Yin Division, or perhaps a spirit master.

Seeing that Yang Haoran didn't immediately invite him in, the sturdy man's expression became somewhat unpleasant. He spoke in a deep voice to Yang Haoran.

"Soul scattering needle!"

These three words, spoken by the sturdy man, made Yang Haoran's heart jump. It was clear that he was being reminded.

Besides himself, only two people knew about the soul scattering needle implanted in him: Deng Feng and Duda!

If Deng Feng wanted to see him, it would be a simple matter. There was no need for any tricks.

However, if Duda wanted to see him, it was a completely different story!

Yang Haoran seemed to have guessed something. The puzzlement on his face disappeared. He then stepped aside, making way, and smiled at the sturdy man, saying, "Please come in."

The sturdy man didn't hesitate either, stepping into the grocery store and ordering Yang Haoran in a commanding tone, "Close the door."

As these four words came out of the sturdy man's mouth, his voice noticeably changed, becoming old and hoarse, completely different from before.
