Chapter 364 - The Mysterious Man (3)
"President Lan, are you sure you can afford our remuneration?" Leng Ruoxue suddenly looked at Lan Ming doubtfully. She really couldn't imagine that Lan Ming could be rich after seeing the inhumane treatment he was receiving!
"Damn girl, the one thing I have the most of is money," Lan Ming growled angrily. He admitted that he had always been suppressed by Wu Gong, but the assets of the Mystic Association Headquarters were beyond Wu Gong's control. Even his master couldn't control the wealth of the headquarters because the headquarters' assets and the headquarters were managed separately. Moreover, the manager of the headquarters' assets had always been a mystery in the headquarters!
"Oh! Then I'm relieved." Leng Ruoxue looked relieved.
"Hurry up and work!" Lan Ming stared at Leng Ruoxue and urged.
"Okay, go and do your work quickly! I want to tour this place first," Leng Ruoxue said with a light smile.
"Tour after we finish," Lan Ming said irritably. Damn girl, will she feel uncomfortable if she doesn't anger me?
"I don't want to! Freak, let's go look around." Leng Ruoxue pulled Freak's arm.
"Okay." Freak wouldn't refuse any of Leng Ruoxue's requests.
The two of them ignored Lan Ming, whose face was flushed with anger, and walked toward the rooms arm in arm.
"Freak, do you feel that something seems amiss here?" Leng Ruoxue whispered doubtfully after entering the main room.
"Don't worry. There are no ghosts here." Freak hugged Xue'er tightly and comforted her.
"Two ignorant kids, of course there are no ghosts here!" Suddenly, a deep voice sounded in their ears.
"Who is it? Come out!" Leng Ruoxue said coldly and looked around vigilantly.
"I'm out." A white shadow floated in front of Leng Ruoxue and Freak.
The white shadow was actually a young man in his early twenties. He was as handsome as an immortal, and his temperament was noble and extraordinary like a king descending upon the world. His blue eyes, which were as deep as the sea, were currently looking at Leng Ruoxue and Freak with slight teasing.
"Eh? How did this happen?" Leng Ruoxue looked at the strange white shadow and stretched out her hand curiously. But it went through the young man's body…
"Xue'er, he should be considered an energy body," Freak explained as he looked at Leng Ruoxue, whose face was full of question marks.
"Energy body?" Leng Ruoxue pondered doubtfully. Is there any difference between an energy body and the divine sense left behind by Master? She only knew that at her master's level, divine sense could materialize with energy. She had never heard of an energy body.
"Brat, you're quite knowledgeable. I am indeed an energy body," the young man praised, but his blue eyes had a hint of sadness.
"Lass, you will naturally know what an energy body is when your cultivation reaches a certain level," the young man explained with a smile in his eyes as he looked at Leng Ruoxue.
"Who are you? Why are you here?" Leng Ruoxue asked directly, no longer thinking about energy bodies.
"This is my residence. It's natural for me to be here!" The young man smiled.
"This is obviously the territory of the Mystic Association Headquarters. Moreover, this place has been abandoned for a long time," Leng Ruoxue said with a face full of disbelief.
"Yes, you're right. No one knows that I'm staying here now except for you," the young man said good-naturedly.
"You still haven't said who you are?" Leng Ruoxue said with an expression that said, 'Don't even think about getting away with it.'
"You can call me Empty. You will naturally know my identity in the future," the young man said after some thought.
"Pretending to be mysterious is a crime!" Leng Ruoxue said with displeasure. This man was really too cunning and had no sincerity at all.
"…" The young man was speechless. Why is this little girl so unreasonable!
"Freak, let's ignore him and look elsewhere!" Leng Ruoxue pulled Freak away…
"Don't tell anyone that you've seen me here!" the young man quickly said before Leng Ruoxue and Freak stepped out of the room.
"Don't worry. We won't tell anyone. No one would believe us anyway! They might even treat us as mentally ill," Leng Ruoxue answered coldly without even turning her head.
"Freak, how do you know about energy bodies?" Leng Ruoxue whispered curiously after walking out of the room.
"I saw it in a book," Freak answered.
"What book? Let me see it too," Leng Ruoxue asked with her hand stretched out in front of Freak.
"That book is long gone." Freak sighed helplessly.
"Freak, will that person hurt us?" Leng Ruoxue knew that Freak was hiding a secret from her. But she wouldn't force him to talk, so she changed the topic directly.
"Probably not," Freak said with certainty. Even though that person… It would still be easy for him to hurt us with his current strength.
"Oh! That's good." Leng Ruoxue was relieved. In fact, she didn't care who that man was at all. She was mainly afraid that he would have designs on them. After all, the safety of her loved ones was the most important to her.
Leng Ruoxue and Freak walked around the rooms and returned to the courtyard.
"You two lazy fellows, you're back only after we finished." Lan Ming was furious when he saw the two carefree people.
"Done so quickly? But it seems like there are still a lot of messy rooms!" Leng Ruoxue said in surprise.
Lan Ming rolled his eyes at Leng Ruoxue and said irritably, "We can't stay in so many rooms. Why should we clean them up?"
"Oh! Freak, let's go choose a room since they're done cleaning!" Leng Ruoxue smiled lightly and turned to Freak.
"Damn girl, you didn't do anything and still want to choose your room first?" Lan Ming glared and deliberately growled with displeasure.
"Can't I?" Leng Ruoxue looked at everyone aggrievedly.
