Thankfully, before Zhao Huan could make a move, the old man finally recovered from choking on a mouthful of tea. He hurriedly sat back down and slapped the other person's back a couple of times to help him.

Zhao Huan was part of the new generation of divination masters in the spiritual realm, so naturally, he wasn't part of the important expedition that had gone into the Ghost City. Therefore, he didn't know who the pale and beautiful ghost who'd appeared wearing a dark robe was to actually cause such a huge reaction from his teacher.

Luckily, he hadn't drunk the water, otherwise, he probably wouldn't have been any better off. Grandmaster Luo silently set his cup of tea back onto the table. Although he appeared calm, the slight tremble of his hands throughout the entire process couldn't be ignored.

That was too close. He was already at such an age, yet he still had to experience such a fright... God knows how much he wanted to slap a heart-stabilising talisman onto himself to ensure that what he was seeing wasn't a hallucination.

"Xiao Gu, does your contracted spirit have a shape-shifting ability? Why don't you get it to change into a different appearance? This face is truly quite difficult for us old people to look at, because... you know..." Grandmaster Luo touched his chest, where he could feel his racing heart. Of all forms this spirit could have taken, why did it have to choose the Ghost King's appearance? Was this a spirit that relied on scaring others away using its appearance?

Till now, Luo Qun didn't think that the ghost in front of them was the same one they'd seen back in Ghost City. The ghost hailed as 'Lord Xie Lan' was an absolutely terrifying existence, these divination masters could write an entire novel on how scary he was.

The things that the other party had done in the last millennium, especially how they had established something like an 'order' millennia ago; seriously speaking, it could pretty much fill up an entire novel.

As the saying goes, know yourself, know your enemy, and you'll survive through a hundred battles unscathed. Facing the thorniest enemy of the human realm, the spirit organization never neglected any word it said. After all, its weakness might lie hidden within them.

This kind of existence had remained at the top for several thousands of years and had the power to experience the thrill of ending lives. How could something like that be willing to suffer under the hands of a human, let alone so willingly call out the word 'Master'——

But just as he finished speaking, Grandmaster Luo suddenly felt his left eyelid twitch. Left represented fortune, right was misfortune. If there was something about to happen, it indicated that the events should be good, but his heart didn't carry a shred of hope.

The ghost who had been resting his chin on the dark-haired youth's shoulder squinted his eyes and sat upright, beginning to monitor the reaction of the youth beside him.

Can't look at him? Was there something wrong with his face?

It had nothing to do with being human or ghost, Xie Lan usually had no sense of aesthetics on anything apart from the youth, including himself. He thought that the dark-haired youth before his eyes was very good looking, but when he heard the other person say those words, he wasn't able to judge the quality of his own looks.

This face...

The dark-coloured cloak contrasted against Xie Lan's fingers, causing them to seem even more pale and clear as it touched his porcelain yet still abnormally handsome face. When they moved to touch the corner of his lips, Xie Lan removed his hand from his face. Instead, he picked up the hand of the youth beside him and, lowering his head, he gently rubbed his cheek against his palm.
