When I ran over and helped Zhou Jiantao up, Fu Xueman came up behind him and the old bastard also appeared at the entrance of the corridor!
"Xi Feng, save me, save me." Zhou Jiantao realized it was me, grabbed my arms tightly with both hands, and screamed in fear.
I nodded at him, collected the copper coin array, and then looked at the old bastard and said, "I didn't mean to do it. He is my friend, and I have to get him out of the garden."
The old bastard clapped his hands and sneered, "I didn't expect that you could hide the copper money from my eyes. That's amazing."
I thought to myself, it’s nothing, I just used the simplest method, it’s just that you didn’t expect me to be so bold.
Fu Xueman probably didn't want me to die, so she spoke up for me and said, "For my sake, please forgive him this time. I'll pay more for the room later."
The old bastard snorted coldly and said, "Who do you think you are? Do you want me to give you face? It's just that someone introduced you to me, and I let you put on a good show here for that person's sake. Now you dare to kill ghosts in my garden, that's a slap in my face, no one can get out alive!" From the sound of this, even Fu Xueman will not be let go.
Fu Xueman's face turned pale and she begged, "Master, please be magnanimous and forgive us this time. I will agree to any conditions."
The old bastard snorted again, looked at me coldly and said, "It all depends on whether he agrees or not."
I cursed in my heart, "Second uncle, you want me to promise to tell you the whereabouts of the sky lantern Zhaoxin. Now this secret has fallen on me, I have no choice but to admit it. I smiled and said, "When I came here, I made the worst plan. At worst, I will die, and the three taboos will never appear again in the world."
"Ah! How do you know the three major taboos?" the old bastard asked in a lost voice, with a look of surprise on his face.
"Seventh Master and Eighth Master told me."
"Hmph, don't use those two brothers to pressure me. In the past hundred years, they have tried to catch me many times but failed. They are just two pieces of trash." The old bastard said disdainfully.
Damn, he actually said that the Black and White Impermanence were two pieces of trash. It was really unprecedented and unparalleled. But it seemed that what he said was not nonsense. The Seventh Master and the Eighth Master probably couldn't do anything to him.
"Well, then, do it. When I die and go to the underworld, you'll know the consequences!" I tossed coins jingling in my hands, acting as if I didn't care.
The old bastard's face was uncertain, as if he couldn't make up his mind whether to kill me or not. After a while, he nodded and said, "Okay, I promise to let your friend go, and you and your bride will stay in the garden."
"Thank you, Master." Fu Xueman said quickly.
"I will feel at ease only after I personally send my friend out." I said without showing any weakness.
A sneer of contempt flashed across the old bastard's face as he said, "You can send him out." Looking at his expression, he was not afraid at all that I could escape from his clutches.
I pulled Zhou Jiantao out of the corridor, walked around the old bastard, and headed for the main door. Fu Xueman actually followed me, and I said to her angrily, "Why, are you worried about me?"
"No, I'm scared being here alone." The bitch said fearfully.
Fuck him, are you a human? You are a ghost. She might be afraid that if I really run away, the old bastard will take it out on her. Now the situation has completely reversed. She has gone from being the protagonist to a supporting role, and she has to act like a ghost depending on my mood.
