Chapter 166 - 157: Mountains High and Roads Unending; Narrow Paths Blocked 3
Upon hearing that address, Xie Lian blinked, and only then did he realize that youth's voice was a little familiar, and he should've heard it a few times before, and the next moment, his eyes moved downwards to look at that youth's wrist. Although his wrist was covered by sleeves, but Xie Lian was sure that under it hid a ring of black cursed shackle.
Pei Ming also rose to his feet to double check that black clad youth's identity, "His Highness Yin Yu? Well I'll be. I didn't think we'd run into you here. What are you..."
Yin Yu scratched the tip of his nose with his finger and returned the greeting, "Ling Wen Zhen Jun, General Pei, General Pei Junior."
Suddenly, a voice humphed, "Yin Yu? You're that Yin Yu who was thoroughly and miserably defeated by his own shidi?"
The faces of the heavenly officials all stiffened, and that voice continued, "I gotta say, aren't you a little too pathetic? Banishment aside, I can't believe you'd turn your back just like that and went to become a ghost errand boy. Compared to that Quan Yi Zhen, you really got on badly, and to think you're his shixiong..."
That voice came from Rong Guang who was shut inside the pot. Pei Su instantly stuck a talisman on to shut him up.
Even though, whether if it was under Jun Wu or Hua Chengzhu, Yin Yu was an errand boy and there was no difference, still, to be in the same room as the heavenly colleagues of many years now that he had become a ghost officer was like an arresting officer turned thief who was exposed by old comrades, and the air was filled with awkwardness. No one knew what to say, so Yin Yu could only turn around silently, and continued digging the hole with the Earth Master shovel.
The group continued onwards as the path was dug. Pei Ming still had the brother of his friend on mind and asked, "Since Hua Chengzhu managed to get the Earth Master shovel, does this mean the two lords communicate with each other? I recall when I asked His Highness at the time, His Highness excused My Lord and said My Lord wasn't close with that Black Water Demon Xuan, and for sure didn't know his whereabouts. If it's possible, will you give that Demon Xuan a shout and ask him to please release Qing Xuan if he hasn't killed him yet?"
However, Hua Cheng replied, "You're mistaken. It's true I don't know Black Water's whereabouts."
"Then where did the shovel come from?"
"I found it on the ground." Hua Cheng said.
