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.

grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)

invincible power, Gu Changge transmigrates into a fantasy world, bound to a sign-in system that grants him cultivation rewards and various peerless treasures daily. While others struggle desperately to break through their cultivation realms, he has long since reached the pinnacle of the Great Dao, becoming a reclusive Emperor whose true strength even he himself cannot fathom. Originally planning to lie low and retire peacefully on Purple Bamboo Peak, the system suddenly issues a new task — take on disciples. With no other choice, Gu Changge casually picks up a few disciples: The eldest disciple, born with a War God Constitution, is thrown a copy of "War God Stratagems" by him, and ends up conquering the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, becoming a peerless War God who sweeps across the cosmos. The second disciple, possessing a Chaos Sword Body, can break all techniques with a single sword, his swordsmanship unmatched throughout history. He points his sword at the heavens: "My master said, the sword and the man stand together. If the sword perishes... my master will give me another one." The third disciple, a reborn Empress who returns to her throne, her elegance and grace overshadowing all beings. And without anyone noticing, his own sect, the Qingxuan Sect, has become the number one sect on the continent. Looking at these unbelievably formidable disciples, Gu Changge, holding the "Primordial Purple Qi" he just signed in for, falls into deep thought: — Wasn't this supposed to be a peaceful retirement? How did I become the ultimate master?!

Cheng's father told him he was getting remarried—to a wealthy woman. Cao Cheng realized his time had finally come: he was about to become a second-generation rich kid.
