CH 194

Ge Wuchen is left in a cold sweat.

How can he tell Chi You everything he says to Jiang Luo when there is so much he can't tell him?

Luckily he steadied himself in time to rub his long-prepared words into his conversation with Jiang Luo, "Master, Master Jiang is not in a good mood, I have advised him some words, but he is indifferent ......"

Ge Wuchen didn't see anything wrong with Jiang Luo and Chi You's argument, and chose carefully between easing the atmosphere between them or letting the conflict continue. Ge Wuchen feels that this is a good trend because Chi You is clearly becoming more and more concerned about Jiang Luo in this cold war, and as the saying goes, if you don't break it, you won't break it.

"Master Jiang said ......"

Instead of easing Chi You's irritation, Ge Wuchen seems to add fuel to the fire.

The night before we left for Dawu Mountain, Teng Bi gave Jiang Luo a suitcase and told him to prepare his own luggage.

Jiang Luo is treated very well at Chi You, everything is available, and whatever he wants is available the next day. Everything you wear, especially on your body, is extremely well thought out.

As the trip to Dawu Mountain was not sure how long it would take, Jiang Luo packed two pairs of casual clothes for easy movement and a pair of hiking boots. In addition to these, he has also prepared a number of small items for the climb. Toilet paper, a compass and a knife ...... are some of the items he doesn't have and has written them down for the time being, so he'll have them all when he gets out.

The next morning, Jiang Luo changed into the clothes he had prepared, tied his hair up high and left with his suitcase.

The tickets to Dawu Mountain were prepared by Ge Wuchen. The rest of the group stepped into the airport together, except for the spirits in the form of Hua Cui and the frail Liao Si, who stayed behind to watch over Lian's family and take care of some things.

When he was younger, he had made a few trips to the airport to see people, but he hadn't been out of the mountains for over 20 years since he got older. As soon as he saw the changes at the airport, he was dazzled and sighed, "It's different, it's really different, it was never this good before. Times have changed, this is a completely different place from when I used to fly."

Jiang Luo walked beside him, his trench coat swooping, and said lightly, "You should really get out more these days, there are more changes in the world than just airports."

"Yeah," Taoist Master Wei He was a bit melancholy, "kids these days hold on to their phones and that thing called a tablet every day, and I don't even know what's so great about those things. Even our kids, every time they come back from going out, they wail about having WiFi, who knows what this WiFi is."

Jiang Luo's expression twisted slightly as he thought of the half month of painful isolation in the Lian family's ancestral home, "It's about time you had one fitted."

There were both Taoist priests and monks in their group. Even the youngest child, Li Sha, was a doll-like lolita, and passers-by were all looking at him.

Jiang Luo is used to such stares and he walks to the waiting area and sits down without being affected. After waiting for a while, he got up and went to the supermarket to buy a bottle of water.

The evil spirit sitting on the other side of the room stared at his back for a long time before slowly getting up and walking up.

Ge Wuchen, who had been secretly watching them, saw Chi You making a move and smiled at the corners of his mouth as he continued to stare at Chi You and Jiang Luo without a trace.

Teng Bi was unsure of Jiang Luo's health and was about to follow him to help when Ge Wuchen pulled him to his feet. Ge Wuchen whispered, "You idiot, is this the time for you to go over there and show yourself?"

"What do you mean." Teng Bi frowned.

Behind the two of them, a girl suddenly exclaimed in an excited whisper, "Look baby, there are two extremely handsome guys over at the supermarket! I bet they know each other, ahhhhh are they a couple?"

"Strange, how come I just saw only that long-haired handsome guy and didn't even notice the handsome guy next to me? Or did I just spot him after you said that." Another girl muttered strangely, looking Chi You up and down several times as her attention was diverted, "Do the two of them really know each other when they're so far apart?"

The girl said excitedly, "Oh my, look at their clothes! They're not wearing the same clothes, but they're obviously the same style and type. I'm sure as well as certain that this is definitely a person who picked out the clothes."

Ge Wuchen took in these two words and froze, looking thoughtfully at Jiang Luo and Chi You's outfits.

" Teng Bi, who prepared Master Jiang's things?"

Teng Bi said indifferently, "I was instructed by my master to prepare them."

Ge Wuchen's expression suddenly became extremely complex.

He has been with Chi You since before he died, and even knowing Chi You's hypocritical and sinister nature, Ge Wuchen cannot deny that Chi You is an absolutely brilliant heir to the family.

His excellence is evident in every aspect of his life, whether it be puppetry, physique, riding, swordsmanship ...... or even learning and vision, Chi You is perfect in every way that others would not be able to match. Chi You's clothes are certainly good, and his family's eye is more than good; if Chi You is really serious, he can pull off everything from his hair to his shoes in such a way that even the most discerning critics and fashion darlings can't find a single fault. His aesthetic is unmistakable, but Ge Wuchen never imagined that Chi You would even have Jiang Luo's clothes under his belt.

No, it's not just the clothes.

Ge Wuchen scanned Jiang Luo's body over and over again with his full attention. He had researched Jiang Luo, who had never cared about dressing, had never been a big fan of such things. But look at Jiang Luo now, from the headband in his hair to the watch on his hand, from his trench coat to his hiking boots, he has everything to match his colour and style, everything is high end and sophisticated.

It is clear that all of Jiang Luo's personal belongings are controlled by Chi You.

This was clear evidence that Chi You had taken a shine to Jiang Luo, but Ge Wuchen couldn't be happy, not just happy, his heart was sinking.

As a man, Ge Wuchen could easily understand what Chi You was thinking.

Jiang Luo's personal belongings are provided by Chi You, whether it is underwear or shoes and socks, Chi You takes care of everything for Jiang Luo, and Chi You's possessiveness and control is clear. The evil spirit slowly eats away at Jiang Luo's private life like a spider's thread, unknowingly wrapping Jiang Luo's entire being in a spider's web, and once his ambition has been discovered, it sends a chill down Ge Wuchen's back.

Now it's just a personal item, so what else will it be?

The more Ge Wuchen thought about it, the more he was shocked.

Jiang Luo was too proud to become a caged bird in the hands of evil spirits. Ge Wuchen believes that Jiang Luo can get Chi You to give up the method of sinking the occult community, but if Jiang Luo really does this, it will prove that Jiang Luo has become more important to Chi You than destroying the occult community.

So what if Jiang Luo can't stand the control and wants to leave Chi You?

If that day ever comes, it will be to keep Chi You from losing his mind and going crazy and dragging others down with him ...... Ge Wuchen made up his mind silently, with a fierce determination in his eyes.

He took one more look at Jiang Luo and withdrew his eyes.

Sorry about that, Jiang Luo.

Even if it means using unorthodox and dirty tricks, he will definitely put Jiang Luo back into Chi You's hands and quell the evil spirit's rage that is strong enough to destroy everything.

To sacrifice one man to feed a ghost or to sacrifice the entire occult community, it was a choice Ge Wuchen could have made without even thinking about it.

Jiang Luo has no idea what Ge Wuchen is thinking as he considers what water to buy.

The supermarket was out of mineral water and only had a variety of drinks. Jiang Luo, who only likes mineral water or plain water when he is thirsty, bought a glass to get water from the airport when he could. As soon as he turned around after paying for it, he saw the evil spirit standing not far to his left.

The evil spirit doesn't know what he's done, and ordinary humans don't seem to notice him at all. In the middle of a waiting room full of people, he stands there in his suit, mysterious and dangerous, staring at Jiang Luo with his face unmoving.

Jiang Luo looks away and moves without pause towards the water point. There was no one there, and Jiang Luo had just finished swilling his glass when he heard the sound of leather shoes approaching behind him.

He knew that it was the sound of Chi You's footsteps.

Jiang Luo, as if unconcerned, takes a sip and drinks half of a glass of cold water.

There was a definite chill approaching at his back, and Chi You said coldly, "I can spare your friends."

Jiang Luo moves with a start.

The evil spirit said faintly, "Or he can spare their families."

So what?

Jiang Luo wanted to laugh a little, but couldn't. He knew what Chi You meant. He knew what Chi You meant, he would still make the world look like in his dream, but unlike in his dream, he would spare Jiang Luo's friends and his family.

This has in fact amounted to a concession in disguise by the evil spirits.

He wanted to end the argument, but would not say weak words, so he backed off in his own way.

What a rarity, Ge Wuchen's jaw would have dropped if he knew Chi You had taken the first step back.

Jiang Luo should have been happy, but the reality was that not only did Jiang Luo feel no joy, he also felt depressed.

There was something funny about it, and in addition to being funny, a part of the fire he had pushed to the bottom of his heart was burning again, and Jiang Luo himself was baffled. He knew that he should have taken a step back, smiling and thanking Chi You for "letting him go", to keep Chi You in check for the moment.

But emotionally, Jiang Luo doesn't know what he's feeling right now, and he doesn't want to know.

He just thought that it looked like the results of my out-of-control rage were working after all, and lo and behold, Chi You was going to leave his friends alone.

Jiang Luo laughed out loud.

When he smiled, Chi You thought he was happy, but Jiang Luo turned his smile away and coldly screwed on the lid of his cup, "No need."

Jiang Luo returned to his seat and continued to wait. The plane didn't keep them waiting long and they boarded half an hour later.

Dawu Mountain is located on the border between Shanxi and Inner Mongolia and half of the mountain range lies within Inner Mongolia, so the airport is positioned in Inner Mongolia. They will be on the plane for at least three and a half hours, and will have to change to multiple transport options once they reach their destination.

The plane landed on time at 6pm. As soon as Jiang Luo stepped off the plane, he felt a chill coming over him.

It was spring in their part of the world in March, but it was still cold in Inner Mongolia. Jiang Luo was caught in the wind and wrapped his scarf tightly around his face.

As soon as they left the airport, they found the local guide who had come to pick them up.

The guide was a local, a chubby middle-aged man who was dark-skinned and had a posh smile. The guide, who identified himself as Wang, had prepared two cars and had also prepared the hotel.

"It's too late to go back to Dawu Mountain, so take a day off and I'll get your gear ready. We'll leave at six tomorrow morning. It's not easy, we'll have to take a two-hour train ride and then change to a bus, and the journey will be quite hard. If there's anything you want to eat, try to have it ready tonight, we'll have to eat in the car too."

Li Sha was on the verge of tears when she heard this and dropped her lollipop on the floor, "Can't you drive there yourself?"

Wang's guide said, "There's no road."

After getting off the bus, Jiang Luo handed the guide a list of things he needed, "Thanks for your hard work, I'll take these."

Guide Wang looked down and said boldly, "Okay, I'll take care of it, I'll make sure it's done for you tomorrow."

For convenience, the hotel was booked right next to the train station, but because of the money, the conditions were good. Jiang Luo went back to his room, threw his luggage on the table and took out his mobile phone to see that Wen Renlian had already sent him five messages.
