A sharp cry pierced the night sky, and it seemed that in an instant, the blurred voices of people in the distance became clear.Soon, both Chu Quan and Song Shuangfei realized that the noise had exceeded the normal range.

Chu Quan and Song Shuangfei opened the door at the same time, looked at each other, and said in unison: "What happened?"

Song Shuangfei looked into the distance, and said in a deep voice, "It must be those restless spirits messing around again."

Chu Quan listened carefully for a while, "The sound mainly came from the south and north. Brother Song, let's split up." Chu Quan put on a worried look, "I hope it won't affect the castellan's rest."

Song Shuangfei couldn't care less, "Okay."

Chu Quan nodded, turned and ran to the north.

The voice became louder and louder, and when Chu Quan finally ran to the source of the voice, the first thing he saw was Li Meiniang's smiling face.Behind Li Meiniang, a group of vicious ghosts are divided into two factions, and a fierce ghost war is going on.These wraiths have no weapons, they can only be entangled together, using hands, feet, and even teeth to cause as much damage as possible to the enemy.Since they have no physical body, no matter how fierce the fight is, they will not bleed and sweat. This scene seems a bit funny to Chu Quan.

Li Meiniang put her finger to her lips, "Shh, don't be loud, follow me."

Chu Quan followed behind Li Meiniang without saying a word, and the two gradually moved away from the wraiths in the fierce battle.Li Meiniang blinked at Chu Quan, "How is it? I'm doing well, Mr. Chu?"

Chu Quan couldn't help but look back at the evil spirits who were still in the melee, "How did you do it?"

Li Meiniang shrugged, "Those resentful spirits have a bad temper, so they started fighting with a little trick to provoke them."

"What about the south?"

"Master Chu, don't worry, the fight in the south will only be more intense than here." Li Meiniang said confidently.

Chu Quan nodded, "Thank you this time."

"You don't need to thank me." Li Meiniang smiled, "This is how I repay you for saving my child."

It seems that these resentful spirits do not only have resentment in their hearts.Although he didn't have a good impression of Li Meiniang, this woman is still very affectionate, and she knows how to repay her kindness, but she is still human.

"However, Meiniang is very curious. As the spirit master of Anling City, you should take it as your duty to control the resentful spirits. Why are you inciting us to make trouble?"

Chu Quan smiled faintly, "Want to know?"

Li Meiniang saw Chu Quan smiling for the first time, and she was a little lost. She smiled after a while and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't want to say it."

"Okay, it's none of your business here."

"Okay, Mr. Chu. Next time if you need my help, just say so." Li Meiniang winked at Chu Quan again, twisted her waist and floated away.

Chu Quan headed north all the way, looked at the brightly lit palace in front of him, took a deep breath, and walked in gently.

The noise of the wraith in the distance gradually became smaller, and when Chu Quan came to the main hall, he did not see the wraith.He approached the crystal coffin, and couldn't help touching Yan Xichao's pale face with his hand, it was very slippery and cold.Chu Quan really wanted to know what it would feel like to touch if this body was still alive.

How restless you are when everyone is dead, Chu Quan pinched Yan Xichao's nose like venting hatred—let me see what kind of tricks you are playing.

Chu Quan walked towards the study, and sure enough, he saw a figure through the window.You must know that wraiths do not have shadows, and you can know who this shadow is even if you think about it with your toes.Holding his breath, Chu Quan approached the window lightly, and heard Zhuang Sui's voice as expected.

"My lord, what Jiang Anrong said is not wrong. There are usually only two or three spirit masters in Anling City. I'm afraid I can't get in..."

After a moment of silence, Yan Xichao said, "Since there can only be three people, just get rid of one."

Yan Xichao's tone was very calm, but Chu Quan's heart sank suddenly.

"What does the lord mean...to kill them?" Zhuang Sui's voice was full of hesitation.

"If you want to achieve great things, you can kill your closest relatives. What's more, the owner of a ghost town?"

Zhuang Sui was taken aback, "Wang Ye means to get rid of Jiang Anrong?"

"Is there something wrong? This king remembers that he has been seriously ill for a long time. As long as he dies, Song Shuangfei can be the lord of Anling City."

"My lord, every Anling City Lord is a high-level spirit control master, and most of their spiritual power is inherited from the previous City Lord. If the City Lord dies unexpectedly, the spiritual power cannot be passed on to the Deputy City Lord. Chaos and grievances are overflowing, this kind of chaotic situation is obviously not beneficial to us. Now that Jiang Anrong is seriously ill, he also knows that his life is not long, and he must be planning to adopt his spiritual power to Brother Song. It is completely wrong to attack him at this time no need."

"Then what do you mean?"

"It's better to start with Chu Quan. If he dies, there will be one less person in Anling City, and Jiang Anrong will not be able to refuse if I take the initiative to ask to join."

"..."

"What's more, the subordinate has already expressed his favor to Chu Quan, and he doesn't seem to have any intention of cooperating with us. Keeping this kind of person will do us harm instead of benefit."

Chu Quan clenched his fists and waited quietly for Yan Xichao's answer.

"In that case, let's do as you say." Yan Xichao said.

"Yes!"

Chu Quan couldn't see Yan Xichao, he would never know what Yan Xichao's expression was when he was determined to kill him.If possible, he really wanted to see it.

Chu Quan left quietly.After leaving the palace, he ran all the way and returned to the mansion at the fastest speed.He didn't hear much, but enough for him to be sure of three things.

First, Yan Xichao is planning something secretly, and judging from this situation, he has planned it for a long time.

Second, Song Shuangfei has reached a cooperative relationship with Yan Xichao.

Third, never try to befriend a wraith.

Chu Quan felt a little tight in his chest. He thought he treated Yan Xichao pretty well. Although he didn't pamper him like he did with his little boyfriend, he sacrificed a lot of precious sleep time to be with him anyway!As a result, when people wanted his life, they didn't hesitate at all.

Even though he was very reluctant, Chu Quan still had to admit that he felt very frustrated now.He gritted his teeth and made up his mind that after this matter was settled, he would never spend so much time on a dead person—even if that person looked very to his liking.

Song Shuangfei hasn't come back yet, it seems that there is really serious trouble in the south of the city.Chu Quan came to Jiang Anrong's room, and only this old man in Anling City could rely on him.

Jiang Anrong spent a lot of energy during the day, and now even in his sleep, his complexion is still quite ugly.Looking at the old man's wrinkled face, Chu Quan felt that the future was bleak.Jiang Anrong has been ill for so long, and Song Shuangfei handles almost all the affairs of Anling City, and he has only been in contact with some minor matters. It can be said that Anling City has been controlled by Song Shuangfei.The only thing Chu Quan could do was to tell City Lord Jiang the truth, and tell him not to adopt his spiritual power to Song Shuangfei, that man with a human face and a beast heart.

Chu Quan sat down beside the bed and called softly, "City Lord."

Jiang Anrong didn't respond.

Chu Quan yelled a few more words, but Jiang Anrong was still asleep.Chu Quan was in a bad mood, and leaned over to touch Jiang Anrong's forehead. It was scalding, it seemed that his illness had worsened.

"Chu Quan." Song Shuangfei strode in, "Why are you here?"

Chu Quan closed his eyes and put away all his emotions. "The riots in the north of the city have almost been suppressed by me. I came back to see how the city lord is doing, but..." Chu Quan said anxiously, "The city lord's illness seems to have worsened."

Song Shuangfei walked over immediately, seeing Jiang Anrong's appearance, heaved a heavy sigh, showing an expression of impatience.

"The city lord's spirits are quite good during the day."

"The city lord's illness has always been good and bad. Chu Quan, you have been busy all night, go back and rest."

"I'm fine, but Brother Song, you must be tired, why don't you let me take care of the city lord." Chu Quan wanted to stay by Jiang Anrong's side and tell him the truth of the matter as soon as possible.

But Song Shuangfei didn't make him happy. "I've been taking care of the city lord all these years, and I'm used to it. You go back first, I'm here, so you don't have to worry."

No matter how much Chu Quan insisted, Song Shuangfei might become suspicious. He had no choice but to say, "Okay."

Jiang Anrong was in a coma for a day and a night before waking up. He was very weak. Song Shuangfei stayed by his side all the time. The mayor talks alone.

In the past, Chu Quan thought that Song Shuangfei was not so kind to the city lord. There was no filial son in front of the sick bed for a long time, and even his own flesh and blood could not be like Song Shuangfei. Him, or to control him?Maybe, even City Lord Jiang's illness is caused by him...

Chu Quan was terrified, Yan Xichao had already decided to kill him, he worried every day whether he would see the sun the next day.

Three days later, although Chu Quan was still alive with sound limbs, he had already been tortured to the point of debilitating weakness.

"Chu Quan, if you keep pouring water, the vegetables will die."

Chu Quan came back to his senses, raised the kettle, and forced a smile, "Brother Song."

"What are you thinking about?"

"It's nothing."

Seeing Chu Quan's eyes dodge, Song Shuangfei joked, "You must be thinking about women, right?"

"what?"

Song Shuangfei patted Chu Quan's shoulder, with a sympathetic expression, "It's hard for you, I've been here for so long, and I haven't seen a single woman."

"..."

"Exactly, I have something here, and I need you to go out of town."

Chu Quan's first reaction was that Song Shuangfei was going to attack him. He forced himself to calm down, "Oh? What's the matter?"

"The city lord's condition has worsened in the past few days, and he has used a lot of medicines. Some of the herbs are running out. I would like to ask you to go to the nearby Shaohua City to buy some herbs." Noticing that Chu Quan's face was a little strange, Song Shuangfei asked: "Any questions?"

"……No."

"Okay, I'll give you a medicine list, pack up and leave the city tomorrow morning."
