Chapter 10

Qian Qiu just mumbled his complains, knowing he would get scolded again if he said something and that was not what he can afford right now, especially since his ears have been chewed off by the scolding he received before.

Hua Cheng flashed an arrogant smile and said, "What are you saying? That's not a problem at all."

'You looked mad before though.' many thought but kept silent, seeing the relieved smile of Xie Lian.

"The things that he has destroyed ..." Xie Lian began to say that and immediately Hua Cheng laughed, "For the sake of gege I will delete his account and forget it. He can do whatever he wants as long as he doesn't show his face in front of me."

"No need, I can pa-ugh!" Qing Xuan hit him with his fan, preventing Qian Qiu from completing his sentence.

"Don't complete that sentence, you idiot!" she hissed at him.

"Yes, ma'am!" Qian Qiu shouted while bowing a full ninety degree bow, not realizing what he was doing until Yi Zhen asked him.

'How scary.' Qian Qiu thought as he warily looked at the huffing wind master.

'That's my sibling/friend.' thought both Wu Du and He Xuan respectively although the latter shivered when he realized what he just thought.

Xie Lian now looked so curious, and asked, "You don't care if there are heavenly officials playing around about your territory?" Could it be that Hua Cheng really had no fear at all?

"Only one." Hua Cheng easily admitted with a smile.

'Losing you.' he thought.

"Oh~" Xie Lian said in curiosity and awe but didn't pry, wondering what could make Hua Cheng scared. It was definitely not dying or angering anyone.

Hua Cheng smiled, "Of course you might not know about this, but gege, the three realms have stated that the Ghost City is a place filled with great corruption, demonic chaos, but in reality, everyone wants to come to this place. So much heavenly officials who pretend to not care and speak ill of this place, but behind everyone, they often come in disguise and do business that can't be said, I've seen too many events like that, if they don't cause trouble then I don't care, and if they do, it's even better, because they're the first to disturb and create chaos. "

"Looks like heaven needs a clean up." Jun Wu said with a calm voice, a clear contrast to Ling Wen who silently groaned while rubbing her forehead, thinking about the extra jobs she would receive once they return.

'Can I retire?' she thought. 'I'm sure they would be fine on their own.'

"His Holiness Tai Hua is basically like that, so when he sees such a round of betting, he must stop it and cannot resist the urge to get involved and cause trouble," Xie Lian explained.

"That's because he has so little experience," Hua Cheng said clearly. "To choose between letting yourself live longer for ten years and cutting your enemy's life shorter for ten years and then choosing the latter, that is the basis of human hatred." He snorted and crossed his arms, "Even an idiot like Lang Qian Qiu can ascend, heaven is truly blind."

"What do you mean by that!" demanded said idiot but no one answered him, much less looked at him except for one.

"It's self explanatory." Qing Xuan said bluntly. 

"..."

Xie Lian rubbed her forehead with a slightly guilty feeling, thinking, 'You can't say it like that, after all, someone who collects rubbish like me can also go up ..'
