Meanwhile.
At Shou'er University, in the exchange student dormitory.
"Brother Wei, want to go out for a stroll? My treat for some kimchi, haha."
Yu Xiaoqi, after finishing unpacking, said directly to Zhang Wei.
Zhang Wei chuckled:
"Go out for a stroll? At this hour? Are you sure? Not afraid of being trampled to death? Forgot about the news from a few days ago."
Upon hearing this.
Yu Xiaoqi laughed heartily:
"Brother Wei knows about that news too? No worries, it's not a holiday, and besides, Brother Wei is here."
Zhang Wei was about to say something.
Just then.
Ring ring ring.
His phone rang. Picking it up, Zhang Wei let out a soft exclamation:
"Zhang Chao?"
He saw that the caller ID was Zhang Chao, and he muttered:
"Has this guy come out of seclusion?"
As he answered the call, before Zhang Wei could speak, Zhang Chao's voice came through first:
"Moshi moshi, is this Zhang Wei? Busy? Do you miss me? It's your dear Chao Chao."
"Miss miss, of course I miss you, come, come, give me a kiss, my Chao Chao."
"Damn! You're still more disgusting than me, Zhang Wei."
As Zhang Chao finished speaking.
The next second.
Both Zhang Wei and Zhang Chao burst into laughter. After a long time, they both playfully teased each other.
After some more idle chatter.
Zhang Wei curiously asked:
"Zhang Chao, did you just come out of seclusion? How was it? Has your strength improved significantly? You were in seclusion all summer, you couldn't have improved slower than me, right?"
"Damn, are you trying to show off to me? No need to pretend, I know you've reached Half-step True Dragon Guard; uh, and you're in the top ten of the Old General Ranking. Dammit, I thought I could show off to you when I came out of seclusion, but you just slapped me in the face."
"Haha, not at all, it's just a small improvement. What about you, Zhang Chao, how much did you improve?"
"All I can say is, I've had several rounds with Stephanie. I just came out of seclusion yesterday, and it's been a full day and night until now, and I'm still with Stephanie. I have to say, werewolf physique is amazing, I almost died."
In his words.
Zhang Wei could hear the tone of pain and pleasure in Zhang Chao's voice. He couldn't help but smile and say:
"Not bad, you finally slept with the wolf girl."
"Yes, finally got her, it was… so damn good. I could go all out, try all sorts of things, and not worry about falling apart. Wolf girls have strong recovery and physique, nothing else to say, Zhang Wei, thank you for arranging the blind date for me."
As soon as Stephanie was mentioned, Zhang Chao became excited and kept talking. If Zhang Wei hadn't interrupted him, he would have talked for half an hour.
"You're welcome, it was just an arrangement. Your success in the blind date is due to your own efforts. Congratulations, Zhang Chao, you've been promoted to Ghost King level."
"Alas, you flatter me, you flatter me. Compared to your and Wunian's improvements, mine is just a car crash."
Mentioning Wunian.
Zhang Wei's interest was immediately piqued. This summer, not only Zhang Chao, but Wunian also went into seclusion. Because of this, besides hanging out with Qiu Xiaolin, Lu Lianxue, and the others, he had no other entertainment.
"Wunian came out of seclusion today. I went to see him personally. Haha, his strength is also formidable now. With his current strength, when the new Star Ranking is updated tomorrow, he will be among the top three. He has reached the level of an Intermediate Ghost King, and is not far from the top Ghost King. Alas, it really makes one feel inferior when comparing oneself to others."
As he spoke.
Zhang Wei clearly heard another voice from the phone, coming from beside Zhang Chao.
"Amitabha, it's not entirely due to my good talent. It's mainly thanks to the Sarira of Master Kongjing's help. Otherwise, I wouldn't have improved so quickly. So, Zhang Chao, don't be discouraged, you are already very good."
"Damn, Wunian, your words of comfort as a monk make me want to punch you."
Instantly.
Listening to the banter between Zhang Chao and Wunian on the phone, Zhang Wei smiled:
"It's a pity, I'm an exchange student in the 'Stealing Country' right now, otherwise I'd come find you guys to hang out."
As soon as he finished speaking.
In the next second:
"Haha, we can still hang out in the 'Stealing Country'. Zhang Wei, guess where Wunian and I are now?"
Zhang Wei was stunned for a moment:
"Huh? You guys aren't in the 'Stealing Country', are you?"
"Bingo! You got it right. Wunian and I just landed. We're at the 'Stealing Country' International Airport. Zhang Wei, be sensible and come greet your Chao Ge quickly, don't be ungrateful, hahaha."
"Amitabha, Zhang Chao, you've been promoted to Qilin Guard, your strength has increased, and so has your arrogance. You should guard against pride and complacency."
Following that.
With Zhang Chao's explanation, Zhang Wei understood. It turned out that after Zhang Chao came out of seclusion, he immediately found Wunian and wanted to go to Zhang Wei to show off. However, he was told that Zhang Wei had achieved Half-step True Dragon Guard and had gone to the 'Stealing Country' as an exchange student.
In response.
Zhang Chao didn't hesitate. After spending a day and a night with Stephanie, he discussed with Wunian about going to the 'Stealing Country' to find Zhang Wei. The reason was that he had become a Ghost King level Qilin Guard and had to show off to Zhang Wei.
Hearing this.
Zhang Wei felt touched. He wasn't stupid; he knew that Zhang Chao and the others were likely worried about his safety. With Zhang Chao and Wunian's intelligence, they couldn't possibly not know about the recent events in the 'Stealing Country'. Given their looks, they were easily targeted.
Without hesitation.
Zhang Wei teased:
"I say, Zhang Chao, aren't you afraid of being attacked in the 'Stealing Country'? The disappearances in the 'Stealing Country' have become frequent again. Although you're not as handsome as me, you're strong, so you're also an easy target. Not to mention Wunian, who is both handsome and strong; he's a prime target for these incidents."
"Haha, no worries, of course I know about the stuff in the 'Stealing Country'. Do you think I'm stupid? We came to the 'Stealing Country' to find you, do you think we don't have backup? I've also called your four Ghost King subordinates over to be our bodyguards. With six Ghost Kings, plus you, a Half-step True Dragon Guard, do you think the mastermind behind the 'Stealing Country' incidents would dare to touch us?"
Zhang Chao, waiting at the airport, said this and handed the phone to the werewolf king Ward and the others beside him:
"Say hello to your master."
Then.
Werewolf Ward and the others took the phone and greeted Zhang Wei respectively:
"Master, I apologize for coming to the 'Stealing Country' without your knowledge. We were also worried about your safety, and Mr. Zhang Chao said he would keep it a secret before coming to give you a surprise."
After returning from the United States, Zhang Wei had asked Werewolf Ward and the other four to go to the Guard Department to help with ghost exorcism missions and earn him some benefits. The werewolves were assigned to Zhang Chao's Guard Department and Wunian's Sanjin City Guard Department.
Meanwhile.
At the 'Stealing Country' International Airport.
A ghost exorcist stationed at the airport was looking at Zhang Chao, Wunian, and the others in horror. Unaware of the truth, he frantically called the 'Stealing Country' Ghost Exorcist Organization:
"Holy crap, Captain! Two people have brought four Ghost Kings to our 'Stealing Country'! Holy crap, those two people are so strong! They're also... Ghost King level! Oh my god, one of them has reached Intermediate Ghost King!"
"What did you say? Six Ghost Kings?"
The ghost exorcist on the other end was shocked. Six Ghost Kings! If something happened at the airport, it would surely cause heavy losses and great humiliation to the 'Stealing Country'.
After all, the recent disappearances in the 'Stealing Country' had already made them lose face in the ghost exorcism community. If anything else happened, they would definitely become a joke among international ghost exorcists.
"Do you really think the 'Stealing Country' is easy to bully? Any Ghost King dares to invade? This is a good opportunity to re-establish our prestige. Go and find out who these two people are, see if they are friend or foe. Also, inform Mr. Jin Zhenghe and ask him to go to the international airport."
