Chapter 52: The Great Master Ghost Wolf

  Ye Feng was stunned. If he wasn't driving, he really wanted to find a quiet place immediately and enter the Nine Stars space to ask about the rules.

  Why did I suddenly gain 800 points of merit value? Where does this merit value come from and what is it for?

  Ye Feng was now really confused, and he drove Wu Xianghua back to his residential area in a daze. He parked the car in the garage downstairs and handed the keys back to Wu Xianghua, saying: "Xianghua sister, although it's almost dawn, I still suggest you go back and rest for a while."

  Wu Xianghua looked around her room, then at Ye Feng, and in her heart she really wanted to invite him over for a home-cooked breakfast to thank him for his great help and support today. However, the defensive and resistant feelings she had developed towards men over the years finally made her say something completely opposite after opening her mouth: "Okay, I will, Ye Feng, you should also go back and rest early, take a good rest today, don't have to go to work, I'll tell finance to record it as task completion for you, and at the end of the month, I'll give you a bonus, well, this is just my personal token of appreciation."

  Yefeng shook his head and smiled: "It's nothing, I'm not tired, no need to rest. Besides, Xinghua sister, you don't have to give me a bonus, even if you do, I won't use it, because I didn't treat you as an outsider. Alright, let's drop this matter, I'll leave."

  Looking at Ye Feng's departing back, Wu Xianghua stomped her feet hard, clenched her teeth and pursed her red lips, thinking to herself: "Wu Xianghua, ah Wu Xianghua, how could you still think of yourself as a heroic figure, with a heart as high as the sky, braver than Xiang Yu, and bolder than Zhang Fei? Why do you become so helpless when facing him? If you want to invite him for breakfast, just say it outright! If you want to thank him, just give him cash directly! Why find such a stupid excuse of a prize money? Wu Xianghua, what's wrong with you?"

  The sun rises, and the sunlight shines on Wu Xiang's beautiful face, which is slightly pale. Her delicate eyebrows are lightly furrowed, as if she has a lot on her mind. Her eyes are uncertain, as if last night's wine had only now truly intoxicated her heart.

  Ye Feng, who sent Wu Xianghua back home, also gave up the idea of going to Qin Yan's law firm. With more than two hours left before work, he might as well go to the seaside square. Excluding the time spent on the round trip, he could still spare over an hour, which was enough for him to collect all the souls by the sea.

  Taking the early bus back to the seaside square took about twenty minutes. On the bus, Ye Feng finally figured out some clues about suddenly gaining 800 points of merit value earlier. He recalled everything he did yesterday and remembered the little girl he saved.

  800 points of merit value, should be obtained from this matter, the result is obvious, and also makes Ye Feng feel relieved, the little girl should have escaped danger, only to know that this huge gratitude comes from the little girl herself or her somewhat arrogant beautiful aunt.

  Arriving at the seaside, smelling the morning air by the sea, feeling the refreshing comfort of the sea breeze, Ye Feng concentrated his mind and seized the time to start collecting soul energy.

  An hour later, he stopped collecting. This time, perhaps due to missing the golden time period of midnight, he collected 510 points of soul value, which was 50 points less than last time.

  Ye Feng took stock, up to now, excluding the four values used for exchange, his current four-value situation is: Soul value 1020 points, Merit value accumulated 909 points, Evil value has been used up, 0, Charm value 0.

  According to the rules, a one-time repair can be upgraded to the middle stage of Lianqi Condensing Spirit by accumulating 9,000 points of soul value or 900 points of other three values.

  The soul value is currently far from enough for Yefeng, but the merit value among the other three values has already been sufficient.

  This means that Ye Feng can now raise his cultivation to the mid-term perfection of the second-order alchemy at any time and place, and it also means that he will get new, higher-grade heavenly materials and treasures, as well as techniques and spells.

  Yefeng was extremely excited to realize this, and he couldn't wait to upgrade his cultivation immediately. However, he finally endured it, as the location and time were not suitable now. It's better to wait until after work, return to Qin Yan's law firm, and upgrade at night.

  A sleepless night had no effect on Ye Feng now, suppressing his excitement, he took the bus to Miao Yuan Water Industry again and started a new day of work.

  On the other hand, Hao Jian and Zhao Chunnan returned to their hotel and regained consciousness. They realized that something was wrong, although they had no memory of what happened during the time Ye Feng used his soul-capturing technique. However, Hao Jian's previous actions of beating people were still vivid in their minds. After listening to the explanations and accounts from their bodyguards, lawyers, and secretaries, Hao Jian and Zhao Chunnan, who had already become enemies, became even more entangled because they both realized that everything that happened last night was highly suspicious.

  Especially Hao Jian, his loss is the greatest. Not only did all his previous designs and efforts go down the drain, but he also unknowingly signed a divorce agreement with Wu Xianghua.

  He absolutely couldn't swallow this tone, but thinking of the strangeness and evilness of the whole thing, Hao Jian decided that he had to pay a price to ask for someone's help.

  "Zhao, I'm telling you, what happened last night wasn't my fault. I was out of control at the time, so I suspect Wu Xianghua must have hired a master of secret arts, maybe that Ye Feng guy who's always by her side. Think back, after he left the card room, it wasn't long before...and then when I could control myself again, he came back, and we had that long period of confusion. I think he used some kind of secret art on us. Don't think I'm talking nonsense, Zhao, because I know a master who understands these things. I've met him once, and I saw with my own eyes how he brought a dead person back to life. The world is full of mysteries, and if we want to get to the bottom of this, we need to find that person's help."

  Zhao Chunnan's face was shocked, and he asked in a trembling voice: "Is there really such a strange and bizarre thing in this world? It's simply unbelievable! Brother, you said you know a master, who is he? What kind of skills does he have? Will he lend a hand to help us with this matter?"

  Hao Jian's eyes narrowed, and his face took on a look of worshipful infatuation as he said: "He is absolutely a true master. Although this person looks a bit strange, I have indeed seen him display that kind of magical skill. Originally, I had sworn an oath in front of him to never speak of his affairs with others, but you and I were played by Wu Xianghua that bitch. For the sake of this grudge, we must work together. This master's name I don't know, I only know he has a nickname called 'Ghostly Wolf'. Being able to meet him was still because of someone's introduction. This person is truly divine and extraordinary, able to sit in mid-air, take things from afar, and even bring the dead back to life, making them serve him. This kind of heavenly skill, not to mention I had never heard of it before, even after seeing it with my own eyes, I still somewhat didn't dare believe it."

  Zhao Chunnan took a deep breath and said, "It's too unbelievable. If it weren't for what happened between us last night, I really wouldn't dare to believe it. Brother, how confident are you that he'll help us?"

  Hao Jian furrowed his brow and said: "I want to invite him directly, but I don't have the qualifications yet. I must go through someone else before it's possible for me to ask for his help."

  "Then who will you ask to invite him?"

  "You also know this person, he is Liu Tiandong."

  "Ah, Liu Tiandong, are you referring to the Vice Mayor of Mingzhu City, Liu Tiandong?"

  "It's okay, it was Mayor Liu, I got to know this master because of Mayor Liu. Now, the only way to see this master again is through him, and he must first get Mayor Liu's approval before asking the master for help."

  Zhao Chunnan was stunned, he knew Liu Tiandong, although their relationship was general, but since ancient times, officials and businessmen have been connected, on some interests, they still had some dealings, of course, Zhao Chunnan also knew that Hao Jian's relationship with Liu Tiandong was much closer. Hao Jian started from real estate development, after his group company grew bigger, he shifted the focus to Mingzhu City, developing and building the largest wholesale market for grains, oils, vegetables and fruits in Mingzhu Xiapu District, and the person in charge of development affairs among the leaders of Mingzhu City was none other than Vice Mayor Liu Tiandong.

  However, Zhao Chunnan also heard that Liu Tiandong had recently been investigated by the organization because his son, Liu Yong, a police officer, was imprisoned for murder, and he himself was in trouble. So could Liu Tiandong really help with this matter involving Hao Jian?
