Just walked in, Qi Yuan heard his little brother holding his hands and complaining.
"Brother, why didn't you make it clear that you left suddenly?"
Qi Yuan was stunned. He was searching with his mind reading ability. Could it be...
He looked at his little brother's big brain, with such a big head, he didn't think of anything at all?
"When did it happen?"
"Don't pretend anymore. You took us to a room and said someone would come to pick us up later."
Qi Ao said more and more softly. He felt Qi Yuan's gaze at him was not right.
From his brother's expression, Qi Yuan could see that the little brother was not lying. Then things went in a strange direction.
The only thing that could be determined was that the other party did not seem to have any malice.
Qi Yuan did not get entangled for too long. There were many people who did good deeds without leaving a name.
Compared to who the other party was, he was more concerned about whether his little brother seemed to have forgotten his own family ranking again.
"Before arriving at this gymnasium, I hadn't seen you before. Those kids can prove that I was with them."
Qi Ao shuddered and his smile became forced. "Brother, you want to fool me again."
"Don't you feel something is wrong?"
"..."
Qi Ao couldn't speak, and carefully thinking about it, the "brother" at the time did have many problems.
The little brother's mouth turned downwards, his teeth chattering, "Who was that?"
"This is Ghost Market. What do you think you will encounter?"
"Hahaha, you're fooling the kid again."
Qi Ao had been fooled many times before, and he was not a kid who believed everything he said. He had deeply learned from Lu Host that even if he believed it, he would pretend to be dead if it was not beneficial to him.
But when he recalled Qiao Fatty's brother in his mind, he was vigilant when looking at them when they first entered.
Are there really ghosts that can turn into other people?
Qi Yuan shook his head and looked at Qi Ao with a sympathetic gaze, striking a heavy blow to Qi Ao's heartstrings.
"Pay more attention next time, don't accidentally recognize the wrong person."
Qi Ao's face stiffened, his neck turned cold, and he thought back to his previous encounter with an unknown thing in a room, and got goosebumps all over his body.
He stiffly moved his limbs and approached Qiao Bai, whispering, "Does Qiao Fatty's brother have a monster that can turn into other people?"
Lv Cheng was his brother's friend, and he was afraid the other party would work with his brother to fool him, so he asked Qiao Bai for help.
Qiao Bai nodded, "There are many."
Qi Ao could no longer calm down, and ran towards his friends with a cry.
Lv Cheng deeply sympathized when seeing Qi Ao leave, and was even more convinced of his guess about the dark guard, otherwise Qi Yuan would not be able to joke so calmly.
"You guys are still here?"
Xue Shiyun arranged things and came back to look for Qi Yuan. She found that he was still at the entrance.
She pointed to Cheng Yizhou's position, "Let's go over there to chat. Lv Cheng and Qiao Bai should come together too."
A few people sat together, and there were several others Qi Yuan didn't know.
They were a little puzzled why students like Qiao Bai and Lv Cheng could participate in such a meeting, but out of respect for Miss Xue, they didn't say it out loud.
As for the other one?
One look was obviously a big shot, probably like Miss Xue.
Who would dare question?
Qiao Bai told the crowd the words on the Ghost Market stele.
After some thought, the crowd still had no results, and their hopeful eyes stayed on Lv Cheng.
Since Miss Xue took special care of these two, the other must know something too.
Seeing everyone's eyes gathered, Lv Cheng spread his hands, "The stele is engraved with the rules of Ghost Market, and there is a City God Temple in the school. Perhaps there is some connection between the two."
The crowd was disappointed, falsely expecting something.
Any Dragon Country person could guess the relationship between them. The previous proposal to go to the City God Temple and worship was also based on this reason.
Then they cast their eyes on Qi Yuan again.
With insufficient information, Qi Yuan couldn't give a complete account either. He could only say nonsense to get through it.
"Why don't we go take a look at the City God Temple?"
After a few seconds of silence, the crowd echoed in succession.
"Little classmate, well said."
"Yes, why don't we go to the City God Temple to take a look?"
"Woken up with a word."
It was awkward. Were they sure they weren't pretending to be black?
Qi Yuan felt a little sad.
Lv Cheng looked at this group of people in confusion as they walked away just by talking. There were tens of thousands of question marks in his heart.
Wasn't the City God Temple searched by the security team?
The information was still in hand. Why didn't they take a look?
What he and Brother Qi said was all nonsense. Why did the ending differ?
Eventually Lv Cheng followed the footsteps of others in confusion. They soon arrived at the City God Temple.
There was a pair of stone lions at the entrance of the City God Temple. The vermilion gate was open. The horizontal inscription board was still illuminated by flashlights, and it was still written in that unrecognizable text.
Stepping over the threshold and entering, it was the front courtyard of the City God Temple first.
The temple buildings of brick and wood structure were simple, elegant, magnificent, and majestic. In the center of the front courtyard, countless burnt bamboo cores were inserted into the large cauldron.
The hall was magnificent with golden splendor inside. A statue was enshrined inside.
The crowd came to the hall. Xue Shiyun pointed to the murals and said, "This is why we guessed it was the City God Temple."
The murals depicted the City God blessing one side, eliminating evil, and managing ghosts, according to his feats.
After she finished speaking, she asked Qiao Bai, "Bai Bai, is there any discrepancy between our understanding and the text?"
"Team Xue, how many times have I said, don't call me Bai Bai."
Qiao Bai ruffled his hair and protested softly before answering the question, "There is no discrepancy. The text I saw at the entrance is indeed City God Temple."
"Xiao Bai doesn't allow calling Bai Bai, and I have nothing left that I can call." Xue Shiyun shrugged, "Probably like this. Please supplement if there are any other findings."
Qiao Bai saw that the others were silent, "Where is the wall engraved with text? Let me take a look. There may be gains."
Xue Shiyun pointed in the direction, "It is in the corridor near the side hall."
The others circled around the main hall. Dragon Country people would rather believe in something. Anyway, worshiping casually, if it was efficacious then do it more times; if not, then stop worshiping.
Therefore, Dragon Country people often joked that there were no useless gods in Dragon Country.
If someone tried and found no effect, they would stand up and poke around everywhere, looking for clues.
Everywhere that needed to be searched was searched. Qi Yuan found himself unoccupied and saw incense on the table. He then lit five incense sticks and randomly inserted them into the incense burner on the offering table.
As for why it was five instead of three, it was because he was not sure exactly how many were appropriate, but thought of the saying "three long and two short" and did so.

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
