Chapter 1 Chen Xiao's Decision

After Chen Xiao retracted his divine sense, Yin San'er immediately felt a lot lighter.

It wasn't just his body that felt lighter, but his nerves as well.

Because he knew that his life had finally been spared.

"Thank you, Master, for sparing this old one's life."

Yin San'er cupped his hands in thanks.

To ensure his survival, he blurted out everything he knew like pouring beans from a bamboo tube, "Master Chen, the zouyin (underworld traveling) person I know is named Wu Guide. Those familiar with him call him Old Wu. He lives in Luokou Town, Jiang City, and usually makes a living by farming and doing odd jobs. Occasionally, he takes on private jobs, but not often, as they are too dangerous. If he gets caught, he'll lose his life."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiao was slightly taken aback, "Private jobs, what does that mean?"

"Huh? Master, weren't you looking for him to do private jobs?"

Yin San'er looked blank, then slapped his forehead and said in frustration, "Master is so powerful, with magic that reaches the heavens. Why would you need him to do private jobs? Master is looking for him for something else!"

"Why are you talking so much nonsense? I'll ask you and you answer!"

Chen Xiao said coldly.

Yin San'er's glib tongue didn't work at all on him.

"Hehe, Master Chen, taking on private jobs means colluding with the ghost officers to buy life. Usually, one million can buy one year of lifespan, but ten million can't buy ten years because the more lifespan you buy, the more expensive it gets,"

Yin San'er explained.

Qi Tianhu was dumbfounded, "There's such a thing?"

"What's so strange about that?"

Yin San'er curled his lips and said, "Money makes the world go round, what's buying a few years of lifespan!"

"Then how do they collude? You can't take the money from this world to spend in the underworld, can you?"

Qi Tianhu asked doubtfully.

"I don't know about that. I'm not a zouyin person. Everyone has their own path. Knowing too much is not good for me, don't you think?"

Yin San'er shook his head and said.

Chen Xiao wasn't interested in this, so he interrupted, "I want to find him now, can you take me there?"

"That's no problem, but Master Chen, I'll say it again, I can take you to see him, but I really can't guarantee whether he will help you. I hope you won't blame this old man."

It was obvious that Yin San'er was really afraid of dying.

"As long as you do as I say, I naturally won't kill you."

Chen Xiao said indifferently, then glanced at his bare feet, "Put your shoes on, we're leaving now."

"Okay, Master Chen, wait a moment."

Yin San'er put on his shoes, told the young man to watch the house, and left with Chen Xiao and Qi Tianhu.

Luokou Town is located northwest of Jiang City, forty-eight kilometers away, and is a relatively backward and poor town.

The car drove for more than half an hour and entered Luokou Town. Passersby turned their heads one after another, their eyes flashing with envy.

Qi Tianhu was driving a G-Wagon today, which could only be considered a very inconspicuous car among all his luxury cars.

He himself didn't drive it often, and most of the time it was left in the garage to gather dust.

However, in the eyes of these passersby, this was already a top-notch luxury car, the ultimate goal of many young people in the town.

Under the guidance of Yin San'er, the G-Wagon finally stopped at the gate of a courtyard.

The courtyard was dilapidated, and the houses were small and low-lying.

Even compared to the neighbors on the left and right, it didn't look like it was from the same era, and weeds even grew on the roof.

As soon as the three of them got out of the car, they saw a woman walking out of the house in a hurry, carrying two suitcases, one in each hand.

The woman was past her prime, with heavy makeup on her face, and a strong aura of the demimonde.

"Are you sure this is Wu Guide's house?"

Chen Xiao glanced at the woman and squinted at Yin San'er.

With just one glance, Yin San'er's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and he raised his hand and swore, "Master Chen, I swear to God, this is definitely Old Wu's house... unless he moved!"

Just then, the woman dragging two suitcases also came out. Her eyes first swept over the G-Wagon, and then she looked at the three of them suspiciously.

"Who are you looking for?"

She stopped and asked.

"Hello, is this Old Wu's house?"

Yin San'er asked politely.

"Yes."

The woman answered readily.

"Then who are you?"

"Can't you tell? I'm living with that bastard."

The woman said bitterly.

"Then what are you doing now?"

Yin San'er looked at the suitcases in the woman's hand again.

"I can't live like this anymore, I'm not serving him anymore!"

The woman rolled her eyes and said unhappily, "I was cheated by this bastard in the first place. I thought I could live a good life with him, but who knew this bastard was just mooching off me, just wanted to find a free nanny, not only wasting my time, but also making me take care of his vegetative daughter."

"It seems that Old Wu hasn't been doing very well these years."

Yin San'er smiled awkwardly and asked, "Sister-in-law, is Old Wu at home? Please help me tell him that Brother Yin is looking for him."

"Didn't you see that I'm not living with him anymore? Why would I tell him anything... Besides, he's not at home."

"Then where did he go?"

"Where else can he go in broad daylight? He went out to work and make money!"

The woman said impatiently.

"Sister-in-law, what's your name? I have something important to ask Brother Wu. Could you please give him a call and ask him to come back? Of course, I certainly won't let you do it for nothing."

As he said that, Chen Xiao winked at Qi Tianhu, "Old Qi!"

Qi Tianhu immediately took out a stack of money, "A small gift, no respect."

The woman's eyes lit up when she saw the money, and she took the money without hesitation, and a bright smile immediately appeared on her face.

"This young man is really generous, you can tell he's doing big things. My name is Xu Meifeng, you can call me Sister Feng if you don't mind."

It has to be said that money is really a good thing.

It can not only make ghosts work, but also make Sister Feng put away her impatience.

After receiving Chen Xiao's money, Chen Xiao was the boss, and she had to serve him well.

That way, the boss can come and play next time!

Of course, even if Chen Xiao wasn't picky, he wouldn't be interested in this Sister Feng.

All his interest was now on Wu Guide, and he just wanted to see this legendary zouyin person as soon as possible.

The woman casually put the suitcases in the yard, locked the door, and led the three of them to the town's grain station.

At this time, at the gate of the grain station, a man in his forties was being beaten by a group of people.

The man was beaten until his skin was torn and bleeding, and his head was broken.

But he was like a block of elm wood, beaten like this, he didn't say a word...
