Chapter 419: Chapter 419 This Matter Isn’t Simple_1

Zhang Xian, seeing Nangong Wu still distrusting him, was too lazy to further argue. His gaze shifted to the villa.

The old Taoist and the young man were still wandering around the villa, unable to locate the ghost and obliviously missing the fact that the ghost was right above their heads, eyeing them warily.

These two must be frauds.

They claimed they were here to expel the ghost, but they were wandering around while the ghost was right above them, how ridiculous is that. Yet, they still have the Ghost Nightmare under their belt!

"Cough cough..."

Zhang Xian suddenly coughed, asking, "Master, how’s it going?"

"What’s the rush? Can’t you see I’m still looking?"

The Master seemed irritated. "Can this kind of thing be rushed? Do you think that ghosts can be found and dealt with that easily? If that’s the case, what use am I here?"

"Oh, the boiled duck is still quacking," Zhang Xian said with a smirk.

Li Peichi rolled her eyes at Zhang Xian, "Can’t you stop criticizing others? Aren’t you the same?"

"How can I be the same to him?"

Zhang Xian said, "Actually, I noticed where the ghost was a long time ago, I just haven’t mentioned it."

Li Peichi looked at Zhang Xian with contempt, gesturing with her hand and saying, "Please continue bragging, I want to see if you can actually blow a hole in the sky today."

"Um..."

Zhang Xian pointed out, "The ghost is right above the Taoist. You guys can’t see it, but I can. Of course, I know you won’t believe me. However, the ghost is about to attack."

Li Peichi and Nangong Wu both rolled their eyes at Zhang Xian, clearly not believing him. He was all talk.

But then, the ghost suddenly launched an attack, furiously rushing downward.

"Ahh..."

The old Taoist, without any idea about about what’s happening, only felt a cold wind rushing from the top. Then he was lifted up and banged against the wall.

The young man was also the same. He flew in the opposite direction to the Taoist and landed on the coffee table.

"Damn..."

The Taoist’s forehead was bleeding but he didn’t have time to care for it. He straightened his hat and swung his Peach Wood Sword wildly.

"Uh..."

Nangong Wu and Li Peichi, their eyes wide, looked incredulously at Zhang Xian.

Could this guy really see ghosts? Otherwise, how did he know the ghost was going to attack? Now, it seemed like the old Taoist was staring up, it wasn’t hard to figure out where the ghost was.

"Don’t be surprised, I told you I can see it."

Zhang Xian chuckled. "I told you before that I am capable of dealing with this, you just didn’t believe me."

"Fine... fine!"

Li Peichi gathered herself up, "Then you go inside and destroy the ghost. Sister Wu has had a tough time with it recently."

"Heh..." Zhang Xian grinned, didn’t reply, but suddenly turned his head towards the back.

There, a young man wearing a black windcheater and sunglasses was rushing towards them with an exceptional speed, covering several meters at a stride.

"That guy..."

Li Peichi asked with curiosity, "Why is he still wearing a windcheater in this hot weather? Is he trying too hard to be cool?"

"He’s so fast. He’s definitely a cultivator."

Nangong Wu’s first noticed man’s speed, not his outfit. Being a cultivator herself, her focus naturally differed from Li Peichi’s.

She could already tell he was extraordinary.

"Move aside..."

The young man rushed in front of Zhang Xian and the others, glanced at Nangong Wu, and coldly ordered them to move.

"Slap..."

Zhang Xian raised his hand and slapped the young man across the face.

"Uh..."

The young man was taken aback and hastily retreated.

Obviously, he didn’t expect the man in front of him to be more arrogant than himself, slapping him straightaway without a word. What surprised him more was Zhang Xian’s unbelievably quick speed.

"Trying to dodge?"

Zhang Xian suddenly accelerated, his raised palm landing hard on the young man’s face.

"Slap..."

The young man had no time to dodge and was slapped to the ground.

"Oh..."

Li Peichi’s eyes widened, speechless for a long time. After not seeing him for a while, this guy was still ruthless as ever!

Nangong Wu also stared wide-eyed with her hand over her mouth, disbelief written all over her face. Is he even human? Could he be any faster?

"You..."

The young man bounced up from the ground, covering his face and glared at Zhang Xian, murderous intent in his eyes.

Just then, the ghost which was inside the villa lunged out, bringing with it a chill to the bone, and charged violently towards the back of Zhang Xian’s head.

Although the ghost was intangible, it had significant attack power when it focused. Flinging weights of hundred of pounds was as easy and delightful to the ghost as playing house was for a child.

If this blow had landed on an ordinary person, there’s no doubt they’d have been shattered by the immense force and ended up as a puddle of mush.

"Not to be rude, but you’re seriously overestimating this thing."

Zhang Xian stretched out his hand without even looking back, sending a stream of spiritual energy that enveloped the ghost, then squeezed it abruptly.

Just a small fry daring to show off in front of a cultivator of the Tier Six Celestial Body Refinement Realm, it’s clear that it was seeking its own death. Even in the Cultivation World, such beings hardly counted as spirit cultivators.

"Ahh..."

An ear-piercing, agonized scream suddenly rang out.

Li Peichi and Nangong Wu, caught off guard, were quite startled by the sudden shriek. Ordinary people couldn’t see ghosts, but they could hear them, and the voices sounded very real.

That earlier scream, it felt like it could break through endless barriers right into their souls, leaving them briefly stunned.

"You... why would you do that?"

The young man suddenly spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, staring at Zhang Xian in disbelief.

His ghost was just... killed in an instant? How was that possible? No matter how powerful the person in front of him was, he couldn’t possibly be that powerful, not even an innate master could do that.

Without time to think further, he suddenly turned and bolted at a breakneck speed, simultaneously exuding an oppressing cold energy aiming straight for Nangong Wu.

"Damn..."

Zhang Xian stepped in front of Nangong Wu, his hand extended. As the spiritual energy simmered, he enveloped the cold energy, then refined and dissolved it into nothing.

But due to this delay, the young man had already covered quite some distance.

"Damn..."

At this time, the old Taoist came running out, asking in disbelief, "What just happened? Who screamed?"

"Well..."

Zhang Xian turned his head to look at the old Taoist and chuckled, "Master, I was right, wasn’t I?"

"Right about what?" the old Taoist asked.

Zhang Xian laughed, "I told you that you’d be facing a bloody disaster, you didn’t believe me. What about now? You’ve got blood on your forehead, haven’t you? As they say, ignoring advice often leads to trouble."

You..." the old Taoist touched the blood on his forehead, falling silent. Damn it, he really did experience a bloody disaster!

Zhang Xian said, "Alright, I’ve taken care of the ghost in your mansion. You can leave now. As for the payment, somehow I believe you’ll be too embarrassed to ask, at least before I lose my temper."

"You..." The old man’s lips twitched unnaturally a few times, then finally gritted his teeth and walked away.

Seeing his master leave, the young man cast a respectful glance at Zhang Xian and hurriedly followed. At this point, he realized they were nothing but jesters in front of Zhang Xian.

"Zhang... Zhang Xian, is the problem solved?" Li Peichi asked Zhang Xian.

Zhang Xian said, "The problems in the mansion are solved, but the issue with your beautiful sister... that’s still a long way off! The guy even managed to escape."

"Ah..."

Li Peichi asked, "Why didn’t you catch him just now?"

Zhang Xian said, "I would love to, but then what about your beautiful sister? That guy suddenly attacked your beautiful sister as he was fleeing. If I hadn’t blocked it, your beautiful sister would have suffered."

"Is that so?"

Li Peichi frowned, asking, "What should we do now? Will that guy come back to harm Sister Wu?"

"If you’re asking me, who am I supposed to ask?"

Zhang Xian said, "You asked me for help, and I have helped. As for what happens next, it’s none of my business."

"What do you mean ’it’s none of your business’?" Li Peichi retorted. "There’s a saying that goes, ’If you’re going to help someone, help them all the way, and see it through.’ How can you just quit halfway?"

Zhang Xian pointed to himself, looking at Li Peichi and asking, "Little Sister Peici, do you think I’m a saint? When have I ever appeared so virtuous in your eyes? Please stop putting the saint’s standards on me, okay? Let me be frank with you! I’m just an ordinary person, all I see are the immediate gains, nothing else matters."

"You..."

Li Peichi stomped her foot, retorting, "You’re shameless."

Nangong Wu also glared at Zhang Xian with a furrowed brow, her internal struggle quite obvious. However, she didn’t ask Zhang Xian for help, even though she wanted to.

The happenings of today had been too strange for her, causing her great difficulty in handling the situation, let alone facing it.

"Hehe..."

Zhang Xian chuckled, saying, "Little Sister Peici, don’t worry, as long as I’m here, your Sister Wu will be safe. Anyone who dares to pick a fight, I’ll make ’em cry a rhythm."

"You... stop being annoying..."

Seeing that Zhang Xian was playing pranks earlier, Li Peichi lightly kicked his leg.

Nangong Wu also rolled her eyes at Zhang Xian. However, she was quite pleased that Zhang Xian had agreed to help her, thereby improving her opinion of him significantly.

This guy, he’s not entirely useless, at the very least he’s much stronger than she had initially thought, several times over.

"Sister Wu, now that the problem with your house is solved, don’t you think..." Li Peichi suddenly turned to look at Nangong Wu, a hint of reluctance in her eyes.

She had always lived alone and had gotten used to it, feeling indifferent about it. But having an extra-person around all of a sudden had made her life much more fulfilling. She didn’t want Nangong Wu to move out now.

"Don’t worry..."

Nangong Wu smiled and said, "I won’t move back in, I’m counting on Zhang Xian to protect me! You saw what happened earlier. Ordinary people can’t handle fellas like that."

"Great! Then, Sister Wu, you may continue living at my place." Li Peichi cheerfully said.

Zhang Xian also nodded repeatedly, "Hmm, you definitely need to live together! This way, it’ll be easier for me to protect the beautiful sister, won’t it?"

Li Peichi suddenly turned around, "Why are you so happy about it? Do you have ulterior motives?"
