Realm of the Night God

Chapter 653: Why Help Me

~9~8~7~6~5~4~3~2~1~The youth's response hit Yang Haoran directly in the chest, but Yang Haoran had experienced many storms and naturally wouldn't be at a loss for words just because the youth pushed back a bit.

On the contrary, he showed no change in expression, his smile on his face remained as natural as before, as if he hadn't sensed the sarcasm and dissatisfaction in the youth's words at all.

Of course, Yang Haoran did sense the sarcasm and dissatisfaction in the youth's words, but besides that, he also sensed something else.

The youth was here to plead guilty, and naturally, the object of his guilt was the Zhang family. It seemed that the relationship between this youth and the Zhang family was quite unusual.

Suddenly, he remembered that this youth was also an exorcist. Being an exorcist himself and kneeling outside the Zhang family's barrier, this became quite intriguing.

With this in mind, Yang Haoran made some speculations, but he didn't jump to conclusions.

"Plead guilty? Heh, can you tell me about it? Maybe I can help you," Yang Haoran said with a smile, showing his goodwill.

However, the youth didn't even glance at Yang Haoran. His gaze remained fixed on the slope where the Zhang family was.

Although he didn't look at Yang Haoran, he still responded.

"You can't help me, so let's just forget it," the youth shook his head and spoke."Heh, you're denying me without even saying anything. That's too hasty. How do you know for sure that I can't help you?" Yang Haoran said with a smile.

The youth furrowed his brows. He didn't agree with Yang Haoran's words, but he didn't deny them either.

"I know you're from the Yin Division, but you don't seem to be from our Ancheng Yin Division. Can you tell me your true identity?" the youth asked.

"Heh, my identity isn't a secret. There's no harm in telling you. Yes, I'm indeed not from your Ancheng Yin Division. I'm Yang Haoran, the Burial Master of Lecheng."

Upon hearing this, the youth's face, which had been solemn all along, finally showed a hint of change. He didn't ignore Yang Haoran as before but turned his head and looked at Yang Haoran again, with something different in his gaze.

That something... seemed like hope.

"Are you really the Burial Master of Lecheng?" the youth asked, somewhat incredulously, seeking confirmation from Yang Haoran again.

Yang Haoran nodded with a smile, not saying much. This time, he was telling the truth to the youth. Whether the youth believed him or not was up to him; Yang Haoran couldn't do much about it.

With Yang Haoran's affirmative reply, the youth's eyes clearly showed joy.

"Perhaps you can really help me. I just don't know if you're willing to help me sincerely," the youth said, sounding somewhat hesitant.

"Heh, that depends on what it is. If it's something trivial in my eyes, I don't mind helping you out. But if it's troublesome, then I'm afraid I can't help. Like, if you want the moon from the sky, I can't fly up there to get it for you, can I?" Yang Haoran chuckled.

"Regardless of whether it's trivial or significant to you, I must thank you for your words. However, we're not related, so why are you willing to help me?" The youth wasn't carried away by his joy, so he voiced his doubts about Yang Haoran's willingness to help.

"Why am I willing to help you? Heh, well..."

Yang Haoran looked at the youth, pondered for a moment, then continued with a smile.

"Because you have a sense of justice in you. I once wanted to live like you, but in the end, I bowed my head, took the wrong path, and became someone both I and others despise."

The youth furrowed his brows again. There was no confusion on his face, just a pensive expression.

"Okay, everyone's really busy with the current situation, so let's not waste each other's time anymore. If there's anything you need help with, just say it quickly. But, as I said before, I can help with small things, but I can't help with big ones. I'm not fond of trouble, so don't get your hopes up too much."

Yang Haoran's urging brought the young man back to his senses. He was about to speak when suddenly, not far in front of them, a light screen appeared.

This light screen was part of the restriction barrier. Two figures emerged from it.

These two individuals were a middle-aged man and a young man.

Their sudden appearance immediately caught the attention of Yang Haoran and the young man. However, they focused their gazes solely on Yang Haoran, completely ignoring the young man kneeling on the ground.

"Are you here to see your Divine Envoy Xu?" the middle-aged man asked, his gaze fixed on Yang Haoran. Although not overly respectful, his tone was polite.

Yang Haoran had only recently arrived here, and these two had come out of the barrier to greet him. They must have sensed the Yin spirit power and Qi emanating from him; otherwise, they wouldn't have found him so accurately.

However, from the middle-aged man's words, it seemed that he mistook Yang Haoran for Xu Meijing's subordinate, indicating that Xu Meijing was indeed here.

Although misunderstood by the other party, Yang Haoran didn't mind. He still wore a faint smile on his face.

"Hehe, that's right, I'm indeed here to see Divine Envoy Xu," Yang Haoran replied with a smile.

"Divine Envoy Xu is currently discussing important matters with my father. Did something significant happen in the Yin Division for a friend to suddenly arrive?" the middle-aged man continued to inquire.

"Well..." Yang Haoran looked somewhat embarrassed.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man understood Yang Haoran's meaning and didn't press further. Instead, he clasped his fists in a gesture of respect towards Yang Haoran.

"I may have been presumptuous. If you don't mind, friend, you can enter the barrier and report to our divine envoy in person."

With that, the middle-aged man stepped aside slightly and gestured for Yang Haoran to follow. The young man standing beside him also made way respectfully.

"Hehe, that was actually my intention. Thank you both for showing the way. But..." Yang Haoran hesitated and then glanced at the young man still kneeling beside him.

The young man, who had just been about to ask Yang Haoran for help, had now closed his mouth due to the sudden appearance of the two strangers. During Yang Haoran's conversation with the middle-aged man, he remained motionless like a statue, head slightly bowed, without speaking or moving.

Seeing Yang Haoran's hesitation and his glance towards the young man, both the middle-aged man and the young man furrowed their brows slightly.

Although Yang Haoran hadn't said anything, it seemed like they both guessed what was on his mind.

The young man was well aware of the rules. He observed everything and made some guesses in his mind, but he didn't speak. Instead, he respectfully stood by the middle-aged man's side.

"Is there anything else, friend?" the middle-aged man asked.

"This is my friend. Can I bring him in with me?" Yang Haoran asked with a smile.

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the middle-aged man and the young man changed. Even the young man kneeling on the ground showed a significant change in his expression.

None of them had expected Yang Haoran to suddenly make this request.
