The disciples of the Lu Shan Sect were filled with admiration for Yan Shouyi upon hearing that this young man was responsible for the disconnection of the West Lake. Many disciples came forward to greet him, their tones brimming with respect.
Yan Shouyi briefly greeted everyone before returning to attend to his own group. After arranging the reinforcements he had brought into a small storeroom in the underground garage, where they met up with Lu Jing and the others, Yan Shouyi pondered for a while.
For this decisive battle, he had asked Old Jin to procure a considerable amount of equipment before his arrival. The intention was to utilize formations to relatively weaken the Bai family's strength and minimize casualties on their side. Since it was still broad daylight and the Bai family had not yet arrived, Yan Shouyi decided to proceed with setting up the formations as soon as possible.
However, deciding who to bring with him to Ping'an Building was a matter that required careful consideration.
Seeing Yan Shouyi's hesitation, A Gong proactively volunteered, "Brother Yan, I'll accompany you upstairs."
Yan Shouyi shook his head, "No, you still need to watch over the Liu family's paper figures."
Zhu Shanzhao chuckled, "Then I, Old Pig, will go with you!"
"Your demonic aura is too strong. If the Bai family detects it, our plan will be exposed." Old Jin looked around and couldn't help but ask, "You're not thinking of bringing me, are you? I'm just logistics and medical personnel, I don't have any other skills!"
Yan Shouyi laughed heartily and walked over to pat Long Feicheng on the shoulder.
Long Feicheng was startled, "Yan, Brother Yan, what's up?"
"Get ready, we're going upstairs to set up the formation," Yan Shouyi said with a smile.
Long Feicheng immediately looked troubled, "Brother Yan, I'm not very convenient these days!"
Yan Shouyi glared, "What's inconvenient for a grown man? Don't tell me you also have your period!"
Long Feicheng had an expression of wanting to speak but holding back. Yan Shouyi naturally knew what this fellow was thinking. The last time they were at Ping'an Building, he had been 'taken advantage of' by the female ghost hiding in the closet between the 16th and 17th floors. After that incident, Long Feicheng had been bedridden for two to three days, extremely weak. If not for Old Jin's medicine, he wouldn't have recovered yet. That's why, upon hearing Yan Shouyi's intention to bring someone upstairs early to set up the formation, Long Feicheng had silently found a corner to hide in. He simply didn't want to go upstairs with Yan Shouyi and face that closet ghost again!
Knowing the reason, Old Jin remarked sarcastically from the side, "Little Long, you and that female ghost have some feelings, don't you? As the saying goes, a day as husband and wife brings a hundred days of kindness. You haven't seen her for so many days, and you don't even think of visiting her. What a heartless man!"
Long Feicheng's face flushed red as he angrily retorted, "At most, she and I had a day, not a husband and wife relationship!"
"You're heartless after the deed is done, a渣男 behavior!"
"Pah!"
The disciples of the Lu Shan Sect quietly asked Huang Hai and Zhou Yuquan about Long Feicheng's identity. The two of them didn't know Long Feicheng very well and could only say, "He seems to be Mr. Yan's fellow disciple, but from their conversation, it seems Long Feicheng… did something to the female ghost in Ping'an Building!"
"Did something?!" The Lu Shan disciples were stunned for a moment, then showed even more admiration than they had for Yan Shouyi. What a legend! In this era, he dared to play Ning Caichen and engage in a human-ghost love affair! Truly, as long as one is brave, even Sadako can take maternity leave!
Seeing Long Feicheng's continued resistance, Yan Shouyi could only comfort him, "Little Long, we are not yet familiar with the environment in Ping'an Building, and we need a guide. Since you have a connection with that female ghost, why not go up and persuade her to guide us."
"Don't you also know the mirror ghost on the 34th floor? Let her guide us, wouldn't that do?" Long Feicheng said dejectedly.
"That mirror ghost is too cunning, and I don't necessarily trust her. Unlike her, your old flame wouldn't harm us, would she?"
"You… I…" Long Feicheng hesitated for a long time, then finally sighed and agreed. He was truly reluctant to face the heartless female ghost who had taken advantage of him, but for everyone's safety and for the greater good, he agreed.
So, the two of them packed their things, walked out of the small storeroom, and took the elevator from the garage upstairs.
As they entered the elevator, Long Feicheng accepted reality. To distract himself and ease his discomfort, he asked, "Brother Yan, why didn't Sister-in-law come this time?"
"I didn't tell her about tonight's events."
"Ah? Such a big event, why didn't you tell Sister-in-law? Sister-in-law's cultivation is not shallow, she could have helped us if she were here!"
Yan Shouyi sighed and said, "I'm trying to avoid her contact with the Bai family."
"What connection does Sister-in-law have with the Bai family?"
"It's too troublesome to explain. I'll tell you more about it later." Yan Shouyi had nothing to hide from Long Feicheng. In fact, it was precisely to Long Feicheng that Yan Shouyi was willing to share his troubles. Among his friends, only Long Feicheng was the most cheerful, optimistic, and thick-skinned. Sometimes, such a Long Feicheng often brought Yan Shouyi much inspiration. Yan Shouyi truly considered Long Feicheng a good brother and a close friend.
Just as the two were finishing their casual chat, the elevator suddenly slowed down and stopped. The two looked up and saw that the elevator had stopped on the second floor. Long Feicheng's heart tightened, and he couldn't help but raise the paper submachine gun towards the door, "Are you kidding me? Last time we only encountered a ghost when we reached the teens, and now, on the second floor, we're already disturbed?"
Yan Shouyi also became wary. Any unexpected event at this time could affect tonight's plan. Even a single mistake in one step could lead to a fatality. The two stared at the elevator door, watching it slowly open, and then saw a girl. Upon seeing the girl's appearance, both of them couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Why is it you!" Yan Shouyi said to Luo Ning with a hint of helplessness. The person standing outside the elevator was Luo Ning.
Luo Ning yawned, "I came early to make some arrangements. This is my former stronghold, after all." As she spoke, Luo Ning walked in. Seeing Long Feicheng pointing a paper gun at her, she couldn't help but chuckle and reached out to bend the barrel, "Long Feicheng, are you playing house?"
Long Feicheng was furious, "Don't touch it! You'll break my precious toy!"
"What's the big deal? I'll fold another one for you later!" Luo Ning didn't take the matter to heart at all.
Yan Shouyi said reproachfully, "A Gong made this for Little Long, it's not ordinary paper folding."
"Is that so? Then I'm truly sorry," Luo Ning said with guilt. "How about I compensate you with a few zombies? That's all I can offer."
Long Feicheng shivered. He had always thought Luo Ning was not normal, but now he realized she wasn't just not normal, she was a pervert! Talking about zombies non-stop, who could stand that?
"Stop teasing him." Yan Shouyi pressed the elevator door close button. He then remembered that Luo Ning and her master Zhong Qi had once hidden in Ping'an Building to refine zombies, and it turned out Luo Ning was the real landlord here!
Long Feicheng also reacted and hurriedly asked, "Brother Yan, now that Luo Ning is here, can I go back?"
"That's even less possible!" Yan Shouyi refused outright.
Long Feicheng fell into despair, "Why!"
"If that stinky girl finds out I'm alone with Luo Ning, it'll be a disaster! So, you must follow us the entire time and be my witness, proving my innocence!"
"You can't do this to me!!" Long Feicheng wailed. It was bad enough that he was single, but now he had to watch Yan Shouyi pick up girls. Is the trend now to bring dogs along to be butchered? This is utterly inhumane!!
