He lifts his foot to catch up. Zheng Jianhua suddenly appeared and held Zheng Haiying’s shoulder.

“What are you going to do?” Zheng Jianhua asked.

Zheng Haiying’s face was filled with unwilliness and a glimmer of hope: “Dad, I want to live.”

“Yuge has rejected the patriarch request.” Zheng Jianhua looked at him calmly, as if he had already prepared for this result.

“I know.” Zheng Haiying said urgently: “Because of that, I want to beg him. Dad, I don’t want to die. I am still young, I still have a great future.”

Zheng Jianhua sighed dejectedly: “Haiying, it is our Zheng family that wronged the Qu family. Now this is what our Zheng family deserves.”

“Dad!”

Before Bai Chen came, Zheng Jianhua still had a glimmer of hope but after Bai Chen refused, he quickly looked away. These days he has thought about it a lot. He even thought that with the virtue of their previous affection, Bai chen might save one their Zheng family life. Therefore, when Zheng Wenqin proposed to see Bai chen, even when teaching the luck formation to every Zheng family, he was silent.

His heart struggled. On one side is karma, and on the other is the Zheng family lineage. His reason told him that the Zheng family deserved it, but his feelings made him want to stand on the Zheng family side and seek benefit for the Zheng family.

Now that Bai Chen simply refuses, the big stone in his heart seems to have dropped.

For everything that happened behind him, Bai Chen didn’t know. Not long after he and Xiao Nie left, they met another familiar face.

It is Zheng Yanyan.

Compared with the bright and energetic person when they first met, Zheng Yanyan at this time has seemed to change to a completely different person. The vigor and vitality in her body seem to erode with only an empty space left. Her bright eyes inside were dim. She was wearing a white dress, accompanied with that haggard and pale face, she seemed like a willow branch trembling in the wind¹describes a woman with a weak and soft action beauty. But because of those eyes and her aura, she looks like an empty shell.

“Little big brother.” Zheng Yanyan raised the corner of her mouth with difficulty.

Different from his attitude of ignoring Zheng Haiying just now, Bai Chen stopped.

“I’m sorry.” Zheng Yanyan’s eyes reflected Bai Chen. She had a look of guilt on her face, bowing 90 degree angles to Bai Chen. “I’m sorry.”

“Little big brother, don’t agree with uncle’s request.” Zheng Yanyan straightened her waist, the mist in her eyes from the past has dissipated, in its place was determination: “Patriarch has passed the method of borrowing luck to every Zheng family member. As long as someone from the Zheng family can survive, then this formation will be used again.”

Bai Chen was stunned, saying to her strangely: “Don’t you want to live?”

Zheng Yanyan smiled and shook her head. Although her smile is no longer as bright as before, it still doesn’t look as bad as before. It’s a different kind of beauty, “This is the sin of the Zheng family. As a Zheng family member, I should also accept it.”

Recently, it can be said that Zheng Yanyan has grown a lot overnight. She is no longer the simple and optimistic girl she used to be.

“The Zheng family shouldn’t have existed hundreds of years ago.” She said softly.

These days Zheng Yanyan also knew a lot, knowing that every descendant of the Zheng family was exchanged for every corpse of the Qu family.

Bai Chen glanced at Zheng Yanyan. He couldn’t tell what he was feeling at the moment. He cares little about others, but at this moment, Zheng Yanyan seems to be different in his eyes.

He said: “I didn’t promise him.”

Zheng Yanyan showed a relieved smile. She bowed to Bai Chen again: “Thank you, little big brother.”

After that, Zheng Yanyan raised her head and took a deep look at Bai Chen and Xiao Nie, who had always been holding hands, and smiled: “I wish my little big brother a happy life.”

She turned and ran away, leaving Bai Chen’s sight.

Bai Chen stood quietly for a while until he could no longer see Zheng Yanyan’s figure, only then did he leave with Xiao Nie.

Coming out of the Zheng family, he saw someone from the long-awaited exorcist office.

“How was it?” As soon as the person in charge saw Bai Chen come out, he couldn’t help but ask.

Bai Chen answered: “I already met him.”

“And then?”

Bai Chen was puzzled. Isn’t it only just a meeting?

The person in charge saw Bai Chen’s confused expression and his heart became more urgent: “What about the evil art manual?”

Bai Chen blinked, replying honestly: “Don’t know.” From the condition, he was only responsible for meeting the person.

The person in charge was stunned, he didn’t expect to hear this answer. In his thought, the association agrees to his condition, and then Bai Chen will take the evil art secret manual from Zheng Wenqin as a matter of course.

In the end, Xiao Nie, who was on the side, said: “Under Zheng Wenqin’s pillow.”

After the secret manual was destroyed, the Zheng family gradually lost their presence in the exorcist circle. Occasionally when someone mentions it, they will just sighed. Not long after, the Zheng family’s house was empty, then it was taken over by the association. They auction it and give it all to charity. As for Qingmang Mountain, where the Zheng family ancestral tomb is located, the association didn’t move it. It’s just that there are more than a hundred tombs on the mountain too.

A few years later, Bai Chen was successfully promoted to senior exorcist at the age a little over 20 years old. In the exorcist world, he created a reputation for himself. Coupled with the Zheng family affair at that time and many difficult tasks that he has completed over the years, Bai Chen’s reputation in the exorcist world is getting bigger and bigger. He wasn’t inferior to those old people in the exorcist world at all.

Bai Chen felt that the time was almost up. Taking advantage of the original promise from the exorcist association, he told them to help him find some children with good talent. He also asked them to help him with advertising and promotion for accepting apprentices.

Over the years, Bai Chen has done a lot of tasks so he has a lot of money in his hand. Coupled with Xiao Nie, a plug-in, Bai Chen brought a piece of land directly and established a huge Qu’s exorcism residence.

An exorcism residence is similar to an exorcism academy, it is just that Bai Chen set it with the Qu family surname and no tuition fees. Once one enters the residence, they will be a disciple of the Qu family for life. Regardless of whether their surname is Qu or not. There is no betrayal and every word and deed are to abide by the Qu family rules.

At the same time, Bai Chen also adopted some qualified orphans and named them Qu directly. In a sense, they can be regarded as the Qu family descendant.

Gradually, the surname Qu is getting louder and louder in the exorcist world. This kind of fame is not the kind that existed in gossip or sigh before, but the current strength of the Qu.

Bai Chen only spent more than ten years and the strength of the Qu family has already caught up with the original status of the Zheng family. When people in the exorcist world mentioned Bai Chen, they could not help but admire.

None of them thought, just one Bai Chen can possibly develop the fallen Qu family into its scale today.

Some people saw that there was no woman beside Bai Chen so they wanted to talk with Bai Chen about marriage and let their daughter marry Bai Chen.

Only then did Bai Chen remember, he and Xiao Nie lacked a grand wedding in this world.

So those who proposed to marry their daughters or nieces to Bai Chen returned home not only with a horrible nightmare, but a few days later, they received a wedding invitation from Bai Chen.

Bai Chen’s wedding was very grand. It would take a lot of time to prepare but he couldn’t stand it. The other groom of this wedding is the ghost king who rules all ghosts for a while. So on the eve of the wedding, there are many exorcists who have found that the Qu family’s residence is full of ghosts. The Qu family’s disciples lived in harmony with many ghosts for many days with a confused expression. Until the wedding preparations are perfectly finished, these people still don’t understand. Why do they get along so well with these ghosts, and some even have a very strong ghost qi.

After that, these disciples respected Bai Chen and Xiao Nie even more.

The wedding of the century, almost everyone in the exorcist world was invited by Bai Chen to witness the union between him and Xiao Nie. Not only that, the exorcists also discovered that at the wedding scene, many ghosts, who have cultivated for thousands of years, also came to congratulate. What shocked them even more was that they also saw ghosts who had cultivated for ten thousand years.

The face of the exorcist present turned pale. They did not expect that in this present day there are still so many ghosts with such strong powers.

When they first saw a ghost, their condition reflex was to control the ghost but they were stopped by the Qu family’s disciples, who had already prepared, and explained that these ghosts came with no ill intention.

At first they didn’t believe it, but then more and more ghosts with strength higher than the others appear. They congratulated and were quite kind and polite, it was completely different from the ghosts they had seen before. Only then did they slowly believe the words of the Qu family’s disciples.

After the wedding, all people in the exorcist world put an unfathomable label on Bai Chen and Xiao Nie. In the past, some people who were jealous and questioned about the development speed of the Qu family also kept their mouths shut and never dare to talk again.

With the wedding, Bai Chen, Xiao Nie, and the Qu family’s names became even louder. There is a faint feeling that they were becoming the boss of the exorcist world.

Didn’t wait for those people to react, after the wedding, Bai Chen quickly passed on the position of the patriarch of the Qu family and disappeared together with Xiao Nie. Even if the Qu family disciples looked for them, they couldn’t find any news about them.

Fortunately, Bai Chen trained all these people very well. Even without him, the Qu was still flourishing.

In the abyss in the corner of the sky and the sea.

A luxurious palace surrounded by ghosts was located in its depths.

The night pearls emitting white light are dotted around the palace. The palace that was originally dark is decorated with bright lights.

Bai Chen curled up in Xiao Nie’s arms. Compared to the delicate, beautiful, and young person when he first came to this world, now his face was covered with fine wrinkles. On the other hand, Xiao Nie that was holding him was still as young and handsome as ever.

Bai Chen raised his hand weakly and stroked Xiao Nie’s face: “I’m leaving.”

Xiao Nie held Bai Chen’s old palm, his handsome face was still calm and unwavering, but his dark eyes were full of sadness and reluctance. He nodded: “Baby, I will accompany you.”

As the ghost kind, he won’t die. All he can do is to accompany Bai Chen to sleep in this palace forever.

Bai Chen felt the constant loss of vitality in his body. With the last ounce of strength, he turned his head, a soft kiss fell on Xiao Nie’s chest.

He said: “Mo Yuan, in the next world, you have to find me quickly.”

At the moment when Bai Chen lost his breath, Xiao Nie’s eyes radiated a strong golden light.
