Ghost Catching System

Gongsun Ye scrambled to his feet and hid behind Su Yao, feeling profoundly humiliated.

However, he didn’t dare show even a hint of murderous intent towards Chu Hao; at least not now, as the other had genuinely intended to kill him earlier.

Gongsun Ye had only wanted to teach Chu Hao a lesson, but unexpectedly went too far.

Chu Hao withdrew the Knocking Demon Sword and walked forward. As he passed by Gongsun Ye, he patted the other’s shoulder, causing Gongsun Ye’s face to turn pale with fright.

Chu Hao revealed his white teeth and said, "Some people are beyond your provocation; remember, there won’t be a next time."

Gongsun Ye dared not speak; he was truly afraid of Chu Hao now.

Chu Hao departed, and Ma Dazhang and Zhao Geng hurried after him.

Su Yao exhaled, saying, "Let’s go."

After Chu Hao left, Gongsun Ye angrily said, "Damn it, I must seek revenge."

Su Yao, who wore a veil, sneered, aware that seeking revenge despite knowing they weren’t opponents was futile.

Su Yao reminded him, "Better save it; if he hears, you might have to crouch through Jiuhua."

Gongsun Ye asked, "Why?"

"Because he also seems to be from Jiuhua," she replied.

Gongsun Ye was taken aback, revealing deep apprehension.

He had originally thought his talent was impressive, not expecting to encounter Chu Hao, this young man about his age, who was also from Jiuhua.

Senior Sister Min exclaimed, "He’s also from Jiuhua?"

Su Yao nodded, "Let’s go! Heading to the next Ark."

Speaking, she flashed an entrancing smile with her violet eyes, "Perhaps on the next Ark, you’ll meet him again. If luck favors, he might just be next door to you."

Gongsun Ye’s heart trembled as he defiantly said, "Hmph, am I scared of him?"

Su Yao ignored him, even Senior Sister Min held disdain towards Gongsun Ye, wondering how she could have expectations from such a person, truly disappointed.

Parting ways with Bai Yuqiu and others.

On the next Ark, they again coincidentally ran into Su Yao and others; Gongsun Ye dared not meet Chu Hao’s eyes, retreating to a VIP cabin.

Su Yao was curious about Chu Hao; she knew of his strength, yet how was he so unknown within Jiuhua?

It seems Jiuhua indeed hides talents undetected, keeping a low profile regularly.

Su Yao speculated if she could defeat Chu Hao if they clashed.

Su Yao thought, "It won’t be easy, unless I use that move."

Finally.

They arrived at the Nine Hua Domain.

Jiuhua is a regional name, encompassing vast territory, famously known for Jiuhua Holy City.

At its center lies Jiuhua Glory Holy Land.

This city is extremely prosperous, with magnificent architecture, glazed tiles radiating grandeur.

In Shanhai Realm, its buildings are considered top-tier, with various distinct styles, a flourishing capital.

Ma Dazhang was overwhelmingly excited, exclaiming, "Jiuhua Holy City is beautiful."

Compared to Jiuhua Glory Holy Land, Baipo City seemed rural, with bustling crowds and vehicles, the hundred-meter wide avenues leading deep into the city, ending seemingly without horizon.

Chu Hao was also impressed by its splendor.

Zhao Geng didn’t seem affected, "Master, what shall we do next?"

Chu Hao replied, "Find somewhere to settle; I need to report to Jiuhua."

Zhao Geng nodded, eager to find a quiet place to learn healing spells, after being taught by Chu Hao along the way.

After settling down, Chu Hao headed into the depths of Jiuhua Holy City.

"Ice Lotus Fruit’s candied haws, ten yuan per batch, delicious and affordable."

"Freshly baked five-flower pork buns, welcome to try."

"Newest clothing, Yin Yang pendants, perfect for you, waiting for what, new member discount."

"Opening special, all rune materials 30% off, superior three-legged bird blood, superior hidden sheep skin refined for charms, enhancing charm power by 30%."

Jiuhua Holy City was bustling; Chu Hao also enjoyed its sights.

Eventually, he reached the branch area of Jiuhua Glory Holy Land.

Entering the grand hall, a female receptionist greeted him, and Chu Hao said, "Hello, I’m here to report."

The receptionist looked surprised and replied, "Report? There’s no enrollment this year."

Chu Hao handed over his recommendation letter; she glanced at it and said, "Oh, it’s a scholar’s worker introduction. I see, Qianqian, please come over."

A young girl walked up, "Senior sister, what’s up?"

The receptionist said, "He’s a newcomer scholar’s worker; take him to fill out the registration form, and don’t forget the fee."

"Alright, senior sister, follow me."

The young girl led Chu Hao to fill out the registration form, on which Chu Hao used the name Zhang Han, given his alias during admission.

After checking the form, the young girl smiled, "Five hundred thousand Shanhai Currency."

If not for Zhao Geng, there would have been no money for registration; Zhang Han’s entire funds only covered the fee, leaving Chu Hao puzzled about how he managed to arrive here.

After paying the registration fee, the young girl named Zhang Qianqian smiled, "My name is Zhang Qianqian, since you are also a Zhang, perhaps we were family in a past life."

Chu Hao smiled, "Senior Sister, what do scholar’s workers at Jiuhua Glory Holy Land do exactly?"

Zhang Qianqian blinked, replying, "Scholars workers aren’t official students, only students enjoy benefits at Jiuhua Glory Holy Land; we are like handymen, doing anything here. Be prepared, it can be very tough."

Chu Hao held no expectations for being a scholar’s worker, nodding slightly.

"Specifically, what should I do now?"

Zhang Qianqian replied, "Specific tasks depend on the arrangements above, come back tomorrow; it’ll be scheduled then."

"Thank you."

Chu Hao left.

At night, Zhang Qianqian handed in the registration forms, saying, "Teacher, this is the scholar’s worker list for this month."

The teacher was a middle-aged woman, frowning, "Why so many?"

Zhang Qianqian stuck out her tongue, saying, "Teacher, how should these scholars’ workers be arranged? The quantity this month is too high."

The middle-aged woman picked several forms, tossed them to Zhang Qianqian, "These ones, let them sweep the grounds at Beidou Institute."

"These ones, assign them to the kitchen."

"These ones, assign them to trim the nursery."

Only one form remained, which Zhang Qianqian noticed bore the name Zhang Han.

"We won’t need this one, have him return next year," the middle-aged woman instructed.

Zhang Qianqian sighed, countless people each year desperately try to enter Jiuhua Glory Holy Land as scholar’s workers, but sadly, Zhang Han seems unfortunate not to be needed.

Zhang Qianqian nodded, preparing to take Zhang Han’s form away.

The middle-aged woman suddenly said, "Wait a moment, assign this last person to guard the gate at Shuxiang Garden."

Zhang Qianqian remarked in surprise, "Is it appropriate for a man to do that?"

The middle-aged woman rubbed her forehead, "That woman constantly complains about not enough people; let him try, whether he manages is up to him, after all, he paid tuition."

Zhang Qianqian looked at Chu Hao’s form with sympathy, "Understood."
