The unknown male ghost that he’d never seen before was staring at Le Feishan with an angry expression. Le Yao connected the points to each other, and two conclusions floated in his mind: one was, he was Jiang Xinduo’s ex-husband and the other that he was the person Le Feishan had once killed.
At this ti, the ghost had made two laps around Le Feishan while showing a grim smile. Le Feishan stiffened in his spot before moving to stand beside Xu Yao. He grinded his teeth as he demanded, “Xu Yao! What do you an by this?”
Xu Yao smiled and showed a pleasant attitude. “What do I an? I just told you that I wanted you to do a favor.”
Le Feishan didn’t expect such a situation to occur, and for it to worsen. He asked, “What favor?”
Xu Yao turned to one side and said, “Please, let’s get on the hover car first.”
Le Feishan didn’t want to enter his hover car at all, but he discovered that ’he’ was looking and surrounding him. He felt a chill in his heart, as if tens of thousands of small snakes had drilled their way into his body and finally into his heart. It numbed his scalp and it seed that he had difficulty breathing.
Le Yao was curious about who the ’male ghost’ was, but Xu Yao didn’t say anything, so he didn’t interrupt their conversation. To be honest, he really didn’t have any sympathy for Le Feishan at all. A father who treated his children as objects, who kicked them away when they were useless and recovered them when they proved to be useful, was soone who made it really hard for people to feel good about him.
But, about the hospital gown wearing ’male ghost’, was he more likely to be Jiang Xinduo’s ex-husband? If he rembered correctly, Jiang Xinduo’s ex-husband had also died of illness, just like the original host’s mother.
“You want to expose Aldrich?” At this ti, Le Feishan asked Xu Yao doubtfully, “Why? What do you an?”
“Why, shouldn’t you know the reason for that better than I do?” Xu Yao poured a glass of juice. Le Feishan thought it was for him, but he gave it to Le Yao and said with a smile, “If I don’t pour it, you won’t drink it, will you? I don’t know if there is anyone who cares about you like I do?”
“Hehe, stop it.” Le Yao took the cup and kept looking at the strange Mr Ghost as if he didn’t hear the real aning in Xu Yao’s words.
However, Le Feishan heard it. It was obvious that Xu Yao was deliberately directing it to him.
“You’re not afraid of offending the Davis Family?” asked Le Feishan.
“If I was afraid, I would not have lived to this day.” Xu Yao continued, “Besides, he offended first. In fact, I think he had offended you as well, but you don’t seem to feel that way.”
Le Yao was Le Feishan’s son. When Aldrich said that he would wash away Le Yao’s mark in front of Le Feishan, wasn’t it a provocation? Xu Yao felt that if soone dared to say that he wanted to wash his son’s mark in front of him, it would be equivalent to telling him that he was superior to his son. Let alone think about it, he would imdiately beat this kind of person to near death on the spot.
Le Feishan’s expression indeed beca uglier. He glanced at Le Yao and then looked back at Xu Yao again before he said, “I can tell who you cherish and who you don’t. But do you believe that the Emperor will be on your side? The undead army is a great attraction, but after all, it’s an army that is in your hands. How can you prove that this army won’t be a threat to the Emperor?”
“A weapon always has a safe spot for people to hold it with and a dangerous position with which to attack. Is the army made up of the living absolutely safe?”
Le Feishan was silenced.
Xu Yao didn’t need to hurry in urging him to agree. He slowly peeled the skin of the fruit for Le Yao and didn’t conceal his love for his wife.
As for Le Yao, he basically regarded Le Feishan as air, and would keep eating and drinking as he liked. When he saw that Le Feishan had stopped talking, he took out an incense stick and burned it. Then he asked the Mr Ghost in the hospital gown to inhale it.
“Thank you,” Mr Ghost opened his mouth for the first ti after inhaling the fragrance.
Le Feishan looked at him in amazent. “You can speak?”
Mr Ghost humd and then laughed. “Why? General Le thought I was mute when I died. Would I also be mute after death?”
Le Yao turned his head to look at Le Feishan. Is he that cheap to even kill a mute person?!
Le Feishan’s face turned green and red, his blue veins were about to pop out of his forehead, and his eyes were full of hatred and killing intent for Xu Yao. He bellowed, “What do you want to do?”
Xu Yao replied without turning his head away from Le Yao, “Haven’t I said it already?”
Le Feishan said, “Alright, I promise you. But don’t say that I didn’t remind you. If sothing goes wrong with Aldrich, Old Davis and Grand Marshal Koncz won’t let it go.”
“You just need to do what I say,” said Xu Yao. “There’s no need to worry about anything else.”
After a while, he couldn’t stand it anymore. Le Feishan grinded his teeth and declared, “I must have lost my mind back then, when I let Le Yao go to Huaxia!”
Le Yao retorted, “No, I think it’s the most sensible decision you’ve ever made in your life. You’ve never been so wise.”
Le Feishan shouted, “Le Yao! You have the guts to fo against ? You, what good will you get by helping him! You didn’t return to use your ability to help the Le Family rise higher, and instead are helping others in improving their status? Your surna is Le, not Xu! Your father is in the 17th Army, not the 12th!”
“I know,” said Le Yao. “My surna is Le, not Xu. But my children’s surnas will be Xu. What’s wrong with giving them a better future? I’m not like you, who would regard a stepson as a treasure, and the real son as grass. Besides, Xu Yao is good to . I can tell who is really good to and who just wants to use .”
Le Feishan was incensed. “You!”
Xu Yao suddenly said, “We have almost arrived at the Royal Palace. I suggest you adjust your mood. Besides, it’s better to be gentle when you talk to Le Yao in the future. I feel sorry for his hair loss now. I don’t want to make him unhappy.”
Le Yao leaned on Xu Yao, and with a smile said, “I’m happy to have you.”
Le Feishan took a hard breath, exhaled heavily, and looked at his son as if he were a ghost. His son used to be a violent maniac, but he could now speak sweetly to Xu Yao!
He especially wanted to ask Xu Yao what kind of love potion he had given to Le Yao. However, it was normal for an Oga to have a strong sense of dependence on their Alpha after being marked.
Le Feishan really regretted it now. If he had known Le Yao would beco this powerful, he would not have married him off at the beginning, and kept him at ho. Then, what the Emperor valued today would have instead been his Le Family.
But it was too late to think about that now.
“General Le, General Xu, Madam Xu, this way, please.” The Chamberlain of the Royal Palace personally greeted them with a smile, without being surprised to see Le Feishan on Xu Yao’s hover car.
“This is Advisor Mi He, the most powerful man around the Emperor.” Xu Yao introduced the Chamberlain to Le Yao.
“Nice to et you, Advisor Mi He,” Le Yao smiled.
“As am I.” Advisor Mi He was a slightly fat, not very tall male beta. He spoke a little slowly, and his voice was very tranquil, which made people feel pleasant when they listened to him. “Please be careful with your steps. The Emperor and Empress specially requested to take good care of you.”
“Thank you. I’m causing you trouble,” said Le Yao.
“No problem. You are very kind.”
Le Yao looked left and right, and felt quite lively. The Royal Palace had European architectural style, but its exterior did not look as if it were made of stone, cent or any other similar material. It seed to be surrounded by a light golden tal. Nonetheless, after scrutinizing it more carefully, it turned out it wasn’t tal, rather, the material was a transparent crystal-like substance. It seed a bit like the Crystal Palace in fairy tales, the kind which could change its color.
Le Yao, holding Xu Yao’s arm, walked all the way to the legendary Hall of The Great Moon. When he got there, he saw that it was actually a super large and luxurious conference room. There was an oval-shaped AI conference table in the middle, with elliptical seat rows surrounding it, and was designed like an amphitheatre. The conference room was divided into three floors in total. The two seats at the head of the first floor were still empty. There were three Great Marshals seated on the second floor. Their uniforms were darker in tone than that of Le Feishan’s, they were basically black. There were also four other people in similar suits on that floor. They should be the civic officials.
As for the third floor, all the officers at the General and Commander level were seated on this floor, among whom Guan Xuefeng was present. There were also other people who were wearing similar suits.
Le Yao was led to his seat by Xu Yao. After sitting down not far from Commander Guan Xuefeng, he made a rough calculation in his mind. So far, there were about 120 people seated in the room.
After they were seated, more people ca in one after another, which included Old Davis and Aldrich.
Old Davis and Aldrich sat next to Le Feishan, who happened to be seated opposite Xu Yao and Guan Xuefeng.
Aldrich then said sothing to Le Feishan, and smiled at Le Yao. Le Yao rolled his eyes and looked at the first floor. At this ti, the Emperor and Empress entered together.
Everyone stood up from their seats. “Greeting the Emperor and Empress.”
Emperor Kunta sat down and motioned for everyone to sit down. He then asked Advisor Mi He, “Is everyone here?”
“Yes, they’re all here,” replied Advisor Mi He.
Emperor Kunta nodded, “General Xu Yao, bring your wife up here.”
Xu Yao had been holding onto Le Yao’s hand since they entered the Palace, never letting it go. He took Le Yao and following the guidance of Advisor Mihe, arrived on the second floor, right next to the seated Grand Marshals. He bowed slightly towards Emperor Kunta and the Empress as he said, “Xu Yao greets the Emperor and Empress.”
Le Yao was a bit surprised, and quickly followed Xu Yao’s actions. He bowed slightly and said, “Le Yao greets the Emperor and Empress.”
There was a faint smile on the ’Majestic National Character’ Emperor Kunta’s face as he ordered, “Sit down.”
The Empress also smiled and said, “Xiao Le Yao, take it easy. Don’t be nervous.”
Le Yao nodded his head and whispered a ’thank you’, but he was, inevitably, a little nervous. He and Xu Yao sat down on the temporarily added sofa on the second floor. At this ti, he heard the Emperor say, “In March this year, General Xu Yao delivered a special report to through Commander Guan Xuefeng, which said that he had found the undead army of the Flying Wolf Division in Huaxia. Today I have called everyone here to witness this with . If this is true, it will lead to new breakthroughs and developnts in the military strength of our Tarot Empire. General Xu Yao, please start.”
At this ti, Xu Yao stood up again, took Le Yao’s hand and the stack of Tianyan talismans he had drawn, and walked till he was in front of the Emperor. “Emperor, this is the talisman I ntioned in my report. Most of us can’t see the undead directly. We have to use this paper to open our sight.”
Emperor Kunta said, “Well, Commander Guan told that he would stick it on his forehead, right?”
Xu Yao replied, “That’s right.”
Emperor Kunta seed to trust him very much and he was curious about this thing. He closed his eyes and said, “Co, use it on .”
“Xu Yao has offended the Emperor,” Then he took out a single Tianyan talisman, put it on Emperor Kunta’s forehead and said, “Open ~”
Le Yao learnt this thod from Xu Yao, and then opened the Empress’s sight as well.
During this ti, there were no undead souls in the Hall of The Great Moon, and Mr Ghost wasn’t allowed to co in by Xu Yao, so Emperor Kunta and the Empress only found the color of their surroundings different. In addition to the room’s layout, there seed to be a layer of grayish blue in the air.
“General Xu, where are the undead?” asked Emperor Kunta.
“The undead army of the Flying Wolf Division cannot leave Planet Huaxia, so if you want to see the undead here, you can only summon one of the local undead. Emperor, Empress, do you want to see soone who has already passed away? Le Yao and I can try to summon them.”
Emperor Kunta and the Empress looked at each other. anwhile, Xu Yao had called for Le Yao and asked him to help open the sight of the other people with the remaining talismans.
It wasn’t a difficult task. Le Yao took the Tianyan talismans and looked at the four Great Marshals seated not far away. One of the marshals, who looked very similar to the Empress, got up and said to Le Yao, “I’ll co first.”
Le Yao responded with an “En”, and opened their sight one by one, starting from the man who had volunteered. At the sa ti, Emperor Kunta and the Empress had finally decided to summon the Empress’s mother.
Xu Yao said, “Because not all undead remain in the Underworld after their death, Le Yao can’t guarantee the Emperor and Empress on whether we can definitely invite the Grand Marshal’s wife to co here. We can only give it a try.”
The Empress replied, “It’s alright. It will be the best if we see her. But it’ll also have to be according to the Will of Heaven.”
Xu Yao nodded and said, “Le Yao, you can start.”
Le Yao voiced to himself in his heart: It’s different from what I had thought would happen! But at this ti, he could only ask for the Grand Marshal’s wife’s birthday. After asking, he pinched his fingers and calculated her eight characters. Due to the ti difference between Tarot and Huaxia, he also had to take into account the ti difference, and then calculate the eight characters again. Using his old thod, he squatted on the ground and drew a rune...
“Here, on this land, I call upon the most spiritual of the Gods, through the Heavens and the Earth, out of the Secluded and into the Underworld...” He muttered the chant in a low voice. The people near him had to put in so effort to hear what he said. After chanting, he got up and looked towards the position of the rune.
Everyone followed his gaze when suddenly, from under the white stone floor, a gorgeous middle-aged aunt slowly floated out.
Clang! The cup in the Empress’s hand fell on the table as he looked at the transparent shadow in shock. “M... Mo... Mom?”
The middle aged aunt was also surprised, “He Yu?”
In the Hall of the Great Moon, at this mont, even a slight noise of a needle falling to the ground could be heard. Everyone’s eyes fell on the Great Marshal’s wife, and their eyes were about to pop out from their sockets.
There! Is! Actually! An! Undead! Spirit!
Seeing the Empress’s excited appearance, Le Feishan severely beat his chest, and felt more and more regretful that he had married his ’golden phoenix’ to an outsider!
Just then, Aldrich asked him in a low voice, “Uncle Le? Have you considered what I had said yesterday?”
Le Feishan glanced at Xu Yao, who was discussing sothing with the four Grand Marshals. “Are you sure you want to wash away Le Yao’s mark?”
Aldrich, who regarded Le Feishan as one of his own people, said with a smile, “Of course. Otherwise, how can Le Yao serve in our 17th Army?”
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt sothing strangle his neck!
He looked up with great effort, and ca face to face with a pair of bloody scarlet eyes, full of killing intent!
Xu Yao, who had turned his head to look at this scene, said loudly with a sneer, “Aldrich, can you say that again?”
