"Old Willow Grandpa, you've formed a contract with someone?"
Cao Yushan thought he had misheard.
As the old willow ghost nodded.
They were shocked.
That was the restraint of a Ghost King level being. Who had the ability to remove it? They had even invited the True Dragon Guards to help remove the old willow ghost's restraint, which showed how difficult it was to break.
Which powerful figure had found Old Willow Grandpa before them?
In an instant.
Cao Yushan and the others filtered through dozens of powerful ghost exorcisers they knew in the Fujian region.
At the same moment.
Cao Yushan cupped his hands and said:
"Old Willow Grandpa, have you really formed a contract with someone? Or is it just an excuse to refuse us?"
The old willow ghost smiled and shook his head:
"I have indeed formed a contract with someone. Isn't the fact that I can stand here and talk to you the best proof?"
They only realized it later.
They remembered that the old willow ghost was standing outside the terrifying house, and its restraint had clearly been removed.
Seeing this.
Cao Yushan and the others felt a headache coming on.
They had brought the True Dragon Guards with full confidence this time.
They never expected that they would come with high spirits, only to find that someone had "stolen their home" before they even arrived...
And what's more, a contract had been formed.
This instantly blocked all their possibilities.
Cao Yu was the most frustrated. He had originally hoped to use the True Dragon Guards, along with his previous efforts at the crossroads, to form a contract with the old willow ghost.
This wasn't just "stealing their home."
This was like driving them away from a battle.
"Since Old Willow Grandpa has formed a contract with someone, there's nothing we can do."
Cao Yushan sighed and cupped his hands:
"By the way, Old Willow Grandpa, can you tell us who it is that you've contracted with?"
"We don't mean anything else. You know, we are from the Wei Dao Division, and we are responsible for the safety of the public. We will keep records of all ghost exorcisers and ghosts."
"As a Ghost King, you have now formed a contract, so I naturally need to make a record. I hope you don't mind."
The old willow ghost was not angry.
Although it had stayed here for three hundred years, it was not ignorant of everything.
The Wei Dao Division, for the convenience of ghost exorcism and to guard against ghost exorcisers committing evil, kept records of both ghost exorcisers and ghosts. This was to facilitate the investigation of supernatural events, allowing them to identify the perpetrator's identity through their records.
This was similar to how police collect fingerprints, and by checking them against the fingerprint database, they could see if there was a match.
As a Ghost King, the Wei Dao Division would definitely keep a record.
Naturally.
If it was contracted, the Wei Dao Division would also try its best to find out who contracted it, in case the person who contracted the old willow ghost was an evildoer. This would allow them to make timely records and arrangements.
Regarding this.
The old willow ghost did not hide anything, as there was nothing to hide. It was not a big deal.
It said with a smile:
"I understand. The person who contracted with me is a young man named Zhang Wei."
"Speaking of which, Zhang Wei has some connection with your Wei Dao Division. He even went to support the Northeast for the Wei Dao Division not long ago."
His voice was not loud.
But Cao Yushan and the others heard it.
"Zhang Wei?! It's him!"
Cao Yu's eyes widened, and he immediately met Cao Yushan's gaze, seeing the shock in each other's eyes.
Not just Cao Yushan and his son.
Even Chief Sheng was stunned for a moment and hesitated:
"Zhang Wei from the Potential New Stars List?"
Cao Yushan quickly nodded: "It should be him. He was the one who supported the Northeast. And not long ago, I..."
Mid-sentence.
Cao Yushan's eyes widened, and he looked sharply at the old willow ghost:
"Old Willow Grandpa, was it you who asked Zhang Wei to exorcise the ghost at the crossroads?"
He recalled that when he met Zhang Wei before, Zhang Wei had said he was acting on a commission. Connecting the clues, the relationship between them, and the fact that this place and the crossroads were on the same route, he didn't believe Zhang Wei's ghost exorcism had nothing to do with the old willow ghost.
"It was I who invited Zhang Wei."
The old willow ghost nodded noncommittally and revealed the agreement to contract with Zhang Wei.
After he finished speaking.
Cao Yushan and his son were completely disheartened.
Especially Cao Yu, whose eyes had lost their luster, his face ashen.
The ghost at the crossroads... if it was exorcised, he could then contract with Old Willow Grandpa???
Good heavens!
What did I miss!!
Cao Yu was going crazy. He never expected that the ghost from the traffic accident he had missed out on before would have such a significant effect.
They had thought before that by exorcising that ghost, they might win the favor of the old willow ghost, and it turned out to be true! And it was the key to the contract!
At this moment.
Cao Yu wanted to cry.
If the True Dragon Guards weren't here, and out of consideration for appearances, he might have rushed into his father Cao Yushan's arms and wept bitterly.
The more he thought about it, the more frantic he became. Cao Yu muttered:
"If I had gotten my car blessed before Zhang Wei, my blessed BMW would have run faster than his, and I would have hit the ghost first."
"Then I would have been the one to contract with Old Willow Grandpa."
"Why didn't I know earlier to get my car blessed."
Regret.
Deep regret.
Even after they said goodbye to the old willow ghost and got back into the car, Cao Yu's face was still devoid of color, looking as if "life had lost its meaning."
It wasn't until a sentence came from the back seat.
Cao Yu snapped back to attention.
As soon as Cao Yushan and the others got back into the car and closed the doors.
Chief Sheng, who had been calm moments before, let out a long sigh:
"Fortunately, fortunately, that Old Willow Grandpa didn't look scary. I thought it would look as terrifying as other Ghost Kings."
"?????"
Hearing Chief Sheng's words echoing in his ears, Cao Yu was bewildered and looked at Chief Sheng through the rearview mirror.
Seeing Chief Sheng patting his chest as if he had narrowly escaped being frightened.
Cao Yu was dumbfounded.
The unbelievable thought from before resurfaced.
What the heck? Are you kidding me? Could it be that my guess is correct, and this True Dragon Guard is afraid of ghosts?!
Suddenly.
As if he had remembered something, Cao Yu's expression turned strange, and he muttered:
"The strongest and weakest True Dragon Guard in history..."
He remembered something.
It was this morning, before picking up Chief Sheng at the airport, his father Cao Yushan had told him:
"Ayu, you be careful and stay put later. Don't provoke this Chief Sheng."
At that time, Cao Yu had curiously asked why.
Cao Yushan replied:
"Because he is a True Dragon Guard, and he is the most powerful True Dragon Guard in my department."
Cao Yu was shocked to hear this: "The most powerful True Dragon Guard? Really? Dad, do you mean Chief Sheng is the strongest among the thirty-four True Dragon Guards?"
As a result.
When asked, Cao Yushan gave him a strange look:
"Well... the strongest, but also the weakest True Dragon Guard in history."
...
On the other side.
At a roadside barbecue stall at Luxia University.
"Class monitor, we're here."
Zhang Wei waved to Lu Lianxue, who was walking towards them.
A moment later.
After Lu Lianxue ordered the barbecue she wanted, she sat down:
"Zhang Wei, are you done with your business?"
Zhang Wei had asked her for information about the Chunhua Road car accident before, so she knew about his situation.
Zhang Wei nodded: "I'm done."
As he spoke,
He handed Lu Lianxue a bottle of cola: "By the way, Class Monitor, you are a disciple of Longhu Mountain and also a member of the Wei Dao Division. Do you know about the Senluo Division?"
