Chapter 526: Dog-Legged Branch Leader (2/2)

He was a ghost who never put on a pleasant expression, even the ones working at the Whispering Oak Inn had never seen him smile, but now he was acting so amicable.

Xue Wei's lips twitched when he saw the disbelief in the other ghosts' faces, and he instantly understood why. He was aware that this branch leader could kill him easily. The strength that he commanded was not to be belittled, so he understood their disbelief. He was, after all, relatively weak himself.

The branch leader completely ignored everyone else. He knew that his actions were rather extreme when compared to his usual self, but he was not bothered. Even if he were to behave like a dog, would these experts be able to say a thing about it? He was the illustrious branch leader of the Whispering Oak Inn, and no one could force him to do something he did not wish to do.

The only reason he was this dog-legged towards Xue Wei was due to the burning hope in his chest. The hope of seeing the real world, leaving this glum and depressing place, and stepping onto a much larger stage.

Even if the chance were small, he would give it his all so that he did not have regrets in the future.

The four of them exited the Whispering Oak Inn, and the branch leader began walking through the regional capital with Xue Wei by his side.

He explained many things about how the Ghost Realm worked and how one would be able to travel from one end to the other through teleportation arrays. He explained the time needed to travel through these arrays, and how it was faster to send messages than to send a person through.

The time within the Teleportation array depended on the group of people who were sent.

The larger the group, the longer it would take. When they sent a letter, it would arrive within an hour, from here to the next regional capital; however, if they sent a person, it would take a day.

If the group consisted of more than one person, it would take even longer, and it could take up to a month to arrive at their destination. While a month sounded like a long time, it was honestly nothing compared to the distance they had to travel on land.

If they were to travel with their carriage, it would take them years to cross the same distance, so everyone who had the funds would use a teleportation array.

While they were talking, they continued to walk, and while many recognized the branch leader, not many knew who Xue Wei and Lan were. The female ghost was entirely forgotten by the side.

It did not take long before the rumors began spreading in the regional capital. The Whispering Oak Inn branch leader had been seen treating a young man with respect, and everyone started guessing the identity of this young man.
