Chapter 2077: Mr. Xiao, Are You Going Into Seclusion?
"Mr. Xiao, are you going into seclusion again in the next three days?"
Long Qie asked.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zheng shook his head while putting away the four newly acquired Golden Bones and said, "I’m not planning on going into seclusion for now. In the next three days, I plan to return home. I’ve been out for a few days now, I need to go back and accompany Ruobing."
Hearing his words, Long Qie couldn’t help but laugh, "It’s still better to be single. You can go wherever you want, so much freedom."
"What you said is not quite right. There are two great joys in life: one is freedom in Jianghu, and the other is a beautiful companion. Both are indispensable." Xiao Zheng smiled slowly, "You just haven’t met the woman you like yet. When you do, you’ll feel the same as I do."
"I won’t marry in this lifetime." Long Qie shook his head and said, "Marriage is a man’s grave, and I don’t want to die."
Xiao Zheng was too lazy to argue with him on this matter. After chatting with him casually for a bit, he set off for home.
As for Yun Chuan, it was still entirely entrusted to Long Qie.
Anyway, Xiao Zheng would be back in three days, and nothing major was expected to happen in that time.
Since Xiao Zheng left, the entire Yunchuan Branch returned to calmness.
Everyone was diligently cultivating, while also waiting for the day of negotiations to arrive.
Compared to the calmness of Long Qie and others, the Ghost Raising Family was unable to find peace.
With each passing day, their unease grew increasingly intense.
Everyone’s mood was anxious, hoping for the day of negotiation to come, yet unwilling to lose face. It was very contradictory.
Yet, just one day before the negotiation, Wang Hui suddenly contacted Gu Ting and Feng Shanming again, inviting them to his house for a talk.
Though they didn’t know what had happened, they reached the Wang Family as fast as possible.
The Wang Family was just an ordinary home, looking no different from the surrounding residences. The arrival of Gu Ting and Feng Shanming didn’t attract anyone’s attention, appearing to outsiders as a warm and harmonious visit between friends and family.
However, once the door closed, the atmosphere suddenly became heavy.
Gu Ting was the first to break the silence, asking, "Brother Wang, why did you urgently call the two of us over? Did something happen? Could it be that Sky Net has gone back on its word?"
Feng Shanming felt a sudden pang of unease at his heart.
Upon hearing this, Wang Hui first shook his head, then a trace of excitement appeared in his eyes, "It’s not that Sky Net has reneged, but I have a piece of tremendous good news to tell you!"
Tremendous good news?
Gu Ting and Feng Shanming exchanged a glance, both filled with doubt and curiosity.
"Brother Wang, what exactly is the good news?" Feng Shanming asked.
Upon hearing his words, Wang Hui no longer kept them in suspense, and said with a touch of excitement, "Two years! After a whole two years! I’ve finally received a message from the Ghost King!"
What!
With those words from Wang Hui, Gu Ting and Feng Shanming’s minds instantly went blank!
It was as if they had suddenly become idiots and mutes, unable to utter a single word!
Wang Hui didn’t rush them but rather delightedly took a sip of tea.
About two or three minutes passed before Gu Ting and Feng Shanming gradually came back to their senses.
Upon regaining their composure, Gu Ting grasped Wang Hui’s arms excitedly and asked, "Brother Wang! Did you really mean what you just said? Did the Ghost King truly contact you?"
"Yeah, Brother Wang! This is such a big matter, you absolutely cannot deceive us!" Feng Shanming said, "The Ghost King has been missing for two whole years; is he really coming back?"
"Absolutely true, I wouldn’t joke about such a significant matter." Wang Hui directly took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to them, "See for yourselves, this is definitely the Ghost King’s handwriting!"
Upon hearing his words, they hurriedly grabbed the letter and opened it to read.
On the white paper, there were only eight large characters: "All is well, worry not, back in two days."
Gu Ting and Feng Shanming had met the Ghost King in person and were familiar with his handwriting. After comparing it to what they remembered, they confirmed it was indeed the Ghost King’s personal note!
The two men, with a combined age approaching one hundred and forty, couldn’t help but shed tears, filled with excitement!
"Two years! Two whole years! I never thought I’d be able to see the Ghost King again!" Feng Shanming clutched the letter, nearly too excited to speak.
Gu Ting, trembling with excitement, said, "Our opportunity has finally come! If the Ghost King can really come back in two days, we will never have to fear Sky Net again!"
"Exactly! Once the Ghost King returns, we won’t have to fear Sky Net anymore!" Wang Hui said, his eyes flashing with a hint of ruthlessness, "Not only will we not fear Sky Net, but we can also help Wu Duihai and the others to exact their revenge!"
Upon hearing this, a powerful killing intent emerged from Gu Ting and Feng Shanming.
After the letter was put away by Wang Hui, Feng Shanming asked, "Should we still attend tomorrow’s negotiations?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Ting did not hesitate to respond, "Of course, we won’t attend. The Ghost King will return the day after tomorrow, so why should we surrender to them? Furthermore, not only will we refuse to attend the negotiations, but we’ll seize this opportunity to directly attack Sky Net!"
"Attack Sky Net? Are you crazy? The Ghost King hasn’t returned yet!" Feng Shanming said with some shock.
Upon hearing this, Gu Ting first sneered, then said, "I’m not crazy. On the contrary, my mind is very clear. Just trust me; there is absolutely no mistake."
"Now is the perfect time to attack Sky Net. Think about it carefully, tomorrow is the day of negotiation. If we hit them tonight, they’ll have no defense at all."
"So making a move tonight is definitely our best counterattack opportunity!"
After listening to his analysis, Feng Shanming and Wang Hui fell into silence.
It was hard to tell how long had passed before Wang Hui finally said, "I think Brother Gu makes a lot of sense. Tonight is indeed the best chance to counterattack. Because the people of Sky Net couldn’t possibly imagine we would suddenly go back on our word, much less dare to take the initiative to attack, so I agree with Brother Gu’s decision."
After he finished speaking, the gaze of both men fell on Feng Shanming.
Feeling their stares, Feng Shanming thought of the Ghost King’s letter and gritted his teeth, finally making a decision, "Mad! Laozi has nothing to lose! Let’s attack Sky Net’s Yunchuan Branch tonight!"
Upon hearing his words, satisfied smiles appeared on the faces of Gu Ting and Wang Hui.
