-UNEDITED CHAPTER

Finally, thank the gods, Qi Rong seemed to be assuaged by his tirade of abuse and changed the subject. “How did that thing go that I sent you guys to do? Have Quan Yizhen and that manwhore Pei started fighting yet?”

"Huh? Why would we fight? I don't even know him" Yizhen mumbled confusedly.

"if you keep quiet you will find out" Yin yu replied in monotone making Yizhen look at him in wonder.

He sat down as he spoke, lounging on his luxurious throne. He raised his legs and rested his boots on the shoulders of the statue, using it as a footstool. Xie lian had been holding onto hua cheng's arm and held him back when he felt him shuffle forward. Xie lian drew another word on his palm "thanks". Hua Cheng recognized the word. He lowered his head and glanced at Xie Lian, who was watching him with gratefulness in his eyes, thanking him for his good intentions. Then Xie Lian shook his head lightly and drew the words “listen” and “heaven.”

"ofcourse he would think about others before himself, why I'm not even surprised" mu qing rolled his eyes.

Judging by Qi Rong’s talk, it seemed he sent some henchmen to complete a task, and it had something to do with those two heavenly officials. It couldn’t be anything good, so Xie Lian had to keep listening. As for the statue getting used as a footstool, considering he’d been used as a threshold before, this really meant nothing to Xie Lian. It was only a piece of rock, not really him. 

"I like his attitude!" Qingxuan mused smiling. He xuan couldn't help but look at her before looking away.

little green ghost spoke up. “We’ve followed our king’s instructions and spread the rumor that Pei Ming wants to make Pei Xiu the Martial God of the West. It’s becoming more and more of a riot by the day, so we used that as an excuse and desecrated hundreds of Ming Guang temples disguised as devotees from the Palace of Qi Ying. And no one was the wiser! Ha ha ha, my king may not know, but all his devotees are really stupid! They saw us smashing temples and smashed along with us with even more enthusiasm!”

Everyone stared dumbfounded at Qi Rong who looked like as if he had won some lottery.

"I told you they should've gotten rid of him" Pei ming sighed, ling wen stared back at screen already used to Qi Rong's actics.

Hua cheng glared at Qi Rong, he looked a step away from murdering the green ghost.

Xie Lian noted mentally, If there’s a chance, do tell Jun Wu to watch for any discord between those two heavenly officials that others might have sown.

Jun wu nodded even though Xie lian wasn't there "yes I will make sure to do that"

Qi Rong finally stopped talking and leaned back resting his legs on statue's shoulder and little ghost knew what to do and went to the group of people to find best cut. A small child not knowing anything blinked up at terrifying looking ghosts and clutched his father's sleeves. They saw a child and was delighted and went for him. Xie lian started moving before he knew what he was going to do.

"his carelessness is going to get him killed someday" mu qing said only to get interrupted by irritated hua cheng "at least he's better than you all"

but then he felt the figure next to him dart out. Xie Lian turned his head to see, and Hua Cheng had stepped out from within the crowd. Since Hua Cheng had come specifically to seek out the Green Ghost, he should’ve lifted his disguise now that he’d found Qi Rong. Xie Lian had no doubt that Hua Cheng was powerful enough to destroy everything in sight, and all would be powerless to stop him. Yet Hua Cheng did not reveal his true form and maintained the skin of that normal-looking young man as he lazily walked forward.
