Here.
Not long after Xin Shi left, he encountered Li Suo, who was rushing towards him.
"Hurry up, Lord Zhong Kui is waiting for you."
Li Suo blinked his eyes and inquired, "Brother Xin, why is Lord Zhong Kui looking for me?"
Is it good news or bad news?
Xin Shi chuckled, "Do you think I'll tell you? Acting cute won't work."
However, Li Suo seemed to suddenly understand and said with a smile,
"Thank you, Brother Xin!"
Judging by Xin Shi's relaxed tone, it shouldn't be anything bad.
Otherwise, the atmosphere would have already become heavy.
Brother Xin shook his head helplessly, "You clever ghost."
Li Suo chuckled, "Thank you for the compliment, hehe~"
...
Soon, the two ghosts arrived at the entrance of the hall.
They both paused, straightened their expressions, and walked in one after the other.
As soon as he entered, Li Suo felt something was amiss.
The atmosphere felt a little off...
The surrounding Yin energy was not active, as if suppressed by something.
"Lord Zhong Kui, Li Suo has arrived."
Xin Shi announced. Upon receiving a response, he retreated to the side, ready to follow orders.
Li Suo, who had been quite relaxed, began to feel inexplicably nervous as he walked closer.
He secretly glanced at Lord Zhong Kui in front of him. Lord Zhong Kui was sitting at his desk, holding a document in one hand, his expression very serious.
"Lord Zhong Kui."
Li Suo cupped his hands respectfully, his mind racing to recall if he had done anything wrong in the past two days.
In front,
Zhong Kui put down the document and looked at Li Suo unhurriedly.
His opening words made Li Suo's nerves tighten.
"You and Dang Ran destroyed six houses the other day. How much have you repaid?"
Li Suo rubbed the corner of his clothes, embarrassed, "I only repaid a tenth today..."
Zhong Kui said nothing, just gave a "hmm."
Li Suo: "...?"
What does "hmm" mean?
Does it mean it's too slow or too slow?
Just as Li Suo was feeling anxious, thinking he was about to be pressured for payment, he saw Zhong Kui's lips suddenly curve.
As if thinking of something good, he couldn't help but smile.
However, paired with Zhong Kui's face, it was not friendly at all, but rather gave off the feeling of a living Yama.
"I have a job for you to earn money, do you want it?"
"We will definitely repay it as soon as possible... Huh? Earn money? Of course, I want it!"
Li Suo only reacted half a beat later.
Upon hearing that he wasn't being chased for debt, but was even being offered a job.
He immediately became excited, his face beaming.
After agreeing immediately, he remembered to ask about the job's content.
"Lord Zhong Kui, what kind of job is this?"
Zhong Kui couldn't help but curl his lips again, smiling with an inscrutable expression.
He slowly uttered two words: "Earn money."
Li Suo: "...?" Huh?
...
While Li Suo was going to see Zhong Kui, Jiang Lin also returned to Building No. 2.
However, before going back, he went to take a look at the training room.
As expected, all the spots were already taken.
Jiang Lin refreshed his understanding of the South Hall in his mind.
In the South Hall, all cultivation resources were in high demand.
He had actually realized this before, but...
The common sense and habits formed in the East Hall made him subconsciously overlook it.
Isn't entering a training room just a matter of having a card?
...
Dong—
Dong—
Dong—
Three bell tolls sounded from afar.
Just past midnight, the door to Jiang Lin's room was knocked.
Opening the door, he saw two figures standing outside.
Qin Zhouzhou, holding a grill, and...
A Si, a member of the Ghost Artifact Workshop who lived upstairs and had made a hole in his ceiling.
"Good evening..."
A Si greeted with a smile, his expression a little embarrassed.
Yes, he was here to freeload again.
However, this time he wasn't running over on his own; Qin Zhouzhou had called him.
Qin Zhouzhou still had that serious look, "Let's eat together, it'll be lively. We'll be meal buddies from now on."
If they didn't know what Qin Zhouzhou was talking about, just looking at her expression, everyone would think they were discussing a serious topic.
"Come in."
Jiang Lin moved aside, letting them enter.
Having one more ghost to eat with was not a big deal for him.
Since Qin Zhouzhou had invited him, it meant that A Si was also privy to the news she had to share.
"We're having barbecue tonight!"
After Qin Zhouzhou entered with the grill, she skillfully began to release Da Yi and Xiao Er, take out bowls and chopsticks, and ingredients...
A Si sat beside them, freeloading with great earnestness.
Jiang Lin closed the door, looking at the two figures inside, his expression momentarily dazed.
In his career as a ghost messenger, such scenes were rarely seen.
Everything seemed to happen naturally.
