Chapter 525: Lin Zhiqing (2/2)
Xue Wei raised an eyebrow in surprise. To think that she was the leader of such an important region. It seemed that she had not been wasting the time she had stayed within the Ghost Realm.
”It is also because of her identity that I will need to contact her before I can make any decisions on her behalf.” The branch leader was aware that it was not suitable for him to make any decisions on her behalf, but he did feel that no ghost would decline a chance to leave this desolate and glum realm.
”How long will it take to contact her?” Xue Wei was also rather pleasantly surprised by the fact that they could find her so easily, and he genuinely hoped that she would join them sooner, rather than later, as they would be able to cut their journey short.
He was very interested in the Ghost Realm, and it was a heaven for those who cultivated Qi, but he was not enjoying his stay here. It was very gloomy, and it affected his mood. The depressing darkness, the lack of life, the whole atmosphere, which was full of death, it was truly uncomfortable.
However, he had to check whether or not he would be capable of locating his old friend, Tie Haolong, and he also wished to find his father. While his father would be unaware of what had happened when he had been alive, Xue Wei still wished to see how he was faring in this Ghost Realm.
Also, since Lan had a way to bring Lin Zhiqing back to the world of the living, then he might be able to bring a few as well. His father had died to atone for his sins, so if he were returned to the world of the living, then Xue Wei would not blame him anymore. He would even intercede for him when facing his uncle.
However, Xue Wei had no intention of looking for Tie Haolong and his father before finding Lin Zhiqing. Although this ghost knew her, they still had to actually meet up with her.
The branch leader also noticed that this woman was the most important, so he put the two other portraits away and began focusing on her.
”I will contact her as soon as possible. It will take two days, at most to receive an answer. Why don't you stay at my manor until we receive the reply? I can promise you that we do not harvest any of our guests, and as long as you are within my manor, you will be completely safe and protected, even the little female ghost which is following you around.”
Xue Wei could feel the politeness of the ghost, and he nodded his head. The branch leader had some ulterior motives for getting close to them, and after considering it for some time, Xue Wei realized that this ghost most likely wished to leave the Ghost Realm alongside them.
While Xue Wei was not sure whether or not it would be possible, he was not against forging a good relationship with the branch leader, so he quickly accepted the offer.
