”I trust you,” said Xiang Shaoyun. He had unconditional trust on Devouring Ghost.

Devouring Ghost said, ”I heard from Green Ghost that you have taken over the territories of two small gangs?”

Xiang Shaoyun nodded. ”Yes, I am still in the process of considering how I should develop the gang.”

”Young master, if you trust me, let me handle it. You don't have to waste any effort on this,” said Devouring Ghost.

”Sure. But I'm curious as to how you're going to handle it?” Xiang Shaoyun asked.

”When it comes to subordinates, quality is better than quant.i.ty. Most of the members in those small gangs are useless. But it is still possible to find some acceptable talents among them,” said Devouring Ghost with disdain.

Xiang Shaoyun smiled helplessly. ”Even trash can be useful. Just make use of them however you can.”

”Don't worry, young master. I know what to do,” said Devouring Ghost with a nod.

The feast ended shortly after. Xiang Shaoyun had Devouring Ghost remain in the Ghostface Sect while he himself returned to the Skeleton Gang alone. Green Ghost wanted to send Lady Shura with him, as he believed that Xiang Shaoyun would want her by his side tonight.

But Xiang Shaoyun rejected and told Lady Shura to remain in the Ghostface Sect. They could depart together when it was time to head to the Dragon Phoenix Academy. He believed that since Lady Shura had been staying at the Ghostface Sect for so many years, she would have deep sentiment for it.

In any case, he was going to leave for the Dragon Phoenix Academy with her soon. They had plenty of time together. This little additional time they could spend together did not matter to him. He was giving her the time to wrap things up at the sect before leaving.

Green Ghost had not expected that Xiang Shaoyun would make such a choice. A complicated look appeared in his eyes. He felt that he could no longer see clearly just what kind of person the youngster was. As for Lady Shura, she was moved by Xiang Shaoyun's gesture. Women were creatures of emotion, and the consideration Xiang Shaoyun showed made it even harder for her to reject him.

Green Ghost thus sent someone to escort Xiang Shaoyun back, and that was not rejected. Soon, Xiang Shaoyun arrived back at the Skeleton Gang, then went straight to the main hall. As he walked, he thought, I will spend a day or two wrapping up the affairs here before paying Uncle Tang a visit. Then, I will start heading toward the Dragon Phoenix Academy with Big Brother Tang.

While thinking, he arrived at the main hall.

”You're finally getting your a.s.s back here?” a lazy voice rang out.

Pulled from his thoughts, Xiang Shaoyun s.h.i.+vered. He lifted his head and found Ugly Gambler sitting at the throne in the main hall and gazing at him with a look of mockery.

Xiang Shaoyun's face fell as he quickly said, ”Greetings, Lord Gambler.”

Ever since he had returned from the Devil Domain, he hadn't cared much for Ugly Gambler. It was not that he had forgotten about Ugly Gambler, but he was no longer worried about the control Ugly Gambler had over him, as he had been cured of the poison.

Furthermore, he now had the nether prison devil puppet, and he believed that he no longer needed to fear Ugly Gambler. But he had never imagined that Ugly Gambler would instead come to him.

”From the look on your face, you don't seem too happy seeing me?” Ugly Gambler asked.

”How is that possible? My life is still under your control. By the way, the period of one year has pa.s.sed. Can I get my antidote now, lord?” Xiang Shaoyun asked.

”There is no rush. Let's have a nice chat first,” said Ugly Gambler with a smile that was uglier than the face of someone crying.

”Sure. I have some nice liquor here. Let's drink to our hearts' content!” said Xiang Shaoyun as two bottles of liquor appeared in his hand. He tossed one of them over.
