Although he was very angry, fortunately, the threat of the Mirror Ghost was dealt with, and now the man and the ghost have returned to their previous father-son relationship and can coexist peacefully.
Yang Xiao checked the Mirror Ghost’s body once more, then sighed with relief. At this rate of recovery, the child would be fully restored in no more than ten days.
Once the Mirror Ghost is recovered, he’ll have another fighter, significantly boosting his combat strength.
Why say "again," Yang Xiao was briefly in a daze. He didn’t know, maybe he was used to it.
Two days after leaving the Mirror World, Yang Xiao finally met Director Nalan, whom he hadn’t seen for a long time. At this moment, Nalan Shuo’s injuries were nearly healed. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
One should know, having taken several heavy blows from the Fisherman, he was the most injured among them. If Nalan Shuo hadn’t exchanged his injuries for injuries and heavily damaged the Fisherman as well, the outcome of the battle might have been different.
"Director, take a look at this, it’s something I seized from that Japanese woman. Elder Shao Changyin Ji says it’s something from Japan’s Kusunoki Family." Yang Xiao took out the broken seal from his body and handed it to Nalan Shuo.
Nalan Shuo looked at it for a while, but couldn’t figure out what it was. However, he had heard of the Jiu Mountain Family, "Something from the Kusunoki Family? But how did it end up in those Japanese ninjas’ hands?"
Yang Xiao explained his suspicions to Nalan Shuo, who seemed thoughtful.
"Director, once you return, help me contact higher-ups and see if you can get in touch with the Kusunoki Family. We’ll return the item to them." Yang Xiao, although not knowing what this item was for, was sure it was of great value; otherwise, it wouldn’t have been kept so close, especially by a core combat strength like the Japanese woman.
Yang Xiao even suspected that these Japanese ninjas appeared domestically because of this item.
But Nalan Shuo played with the item for a moment before returning it to Yang Xiao, "Little Yang, I don’t want this item. You keep it. When you go to the Provincial Office for your position, find a chance to hand it directly to a big shot in the Bureau."
Seeing Yang Xiao’s confusion, Nalan Shuo gave a bitter smile, "Why don’t you understand yet? This item is related to the Kusunoki Family. It’s a merit. If you give it to me, and then I contact the Provincial Office, each step of the process will strip your credit layer by layer. Such opportunities for recognition can only be handled by you, and you must give it to the right person."
"Little Yang, I’ve told you before, you’re too soft-hearted, and in this regard, you should learn from Fu Qingzhu. If anyone dares to take credit from him, he’ll take their life."
"You might not know, but recently Fu Qingzhu, under the guise of suppressing bandits, cleaned up a lot of small and medium forces near Rongcheng. These guys used to follow the former president Qiu Huai De and gave Fu Qingzhu a lot of trouble. Now, he’s leaving none, no matter who pleads for leniency; he’s eliminating them completely."
"Even though officially he’s just the vice president of the Rongcheng Union, in reality, the president’s power is already overshadowed by him. Within the Union, his word is law."
"And according to the intelligence I received, Fu Qingzhu’s power has recently increased tremendously, unreasonably so. Did you know about this?" Nalan Shuo asked.
"I know, he got a new magical artifact, originally belonging to the former president, Qiu Huai De."
Yang Xiao naturally knew what it was about, it was the bone fan obtained at the auction. It’s a rather special space-type magical artifact that can extract an opponent’s spirit, imprison it within the artifact, and when needed, draw on their spiritual power to feed back into oneself. In a short time, spiritual power would surge, making it a very insidious item. freeweɓnøvel.com
"When I return, I’ll find another opportunity to persuade him. His style is too extreme; sooner or later, it will cause trouble," Yang Xiao knew his brother’s disposition well, suspecting that persuasion would be futile.
"You still have the energy to worry about others. Just take care of yourself. You’re about to take up a position at the Provincial Office, so be cautious and save me some worries."
A moment later, Nalan Shuo sighed and comforted, "Little Yang, neither of us are gods. Human capabilities have limits. Be open-minded about things. You can’t change anyone. No matter what the future holds, his path is his choice; no one else is to blame."
"I understand," Yang Xiao nodded.
This topic was not very pleasant, so Nalan Shuo did not continue, but instead changed the subject, "There’s another thing, the Yi Sect promised us each a magical artifact, remember?"
Upon mentioning this, Yang Xiao got excited, "Of course I remember. What, are they trying to renege on the deal?"
"Of course not. Just remember, when they take us to choose in the treasure vault, you take nothing, and I take nothing. We both come out empty-handed," Nalan Shuo whispered.
"Why?" Yang Xiao originally thought of picking a handy magical artifact for the Mirror Ghost.
"Don’t ask so much now, just listen to me," Nalan Shuo emphasized.
Nalan Shuo was his own director, always considering Yang Xiao’s interests. Yang Xiao instinctively chose to trust him, knowing the director must have his considerations.
Things came faster than he expected. The next afternoon, Yang Xiao and Nalan Shuo were taken by Yi Sect people to a place resembling a storeroom. It was heavily guarded, each person wearing a serious expression.
"Director Nalan, Director Yang, this is our Yi Sect’s magical artifact warehouse. You may freely choose one item each. Once chosen, let the accompanying personnel wrap it up and take it out for you," the Yi Sect elder who brought them there turned around and introduced.
"Then it’s all up to you, elder." Nalan Shuo’s smile was impeccable.
