Realm of the Night God

Chapter 657: Which Category Do You Belong To?

Earlier, Zhang Changchun was discussing important matters with Xu Meijing and a few others when they suddenly sensed a surge of power coming from the mountain below, and this power surge was Yin spirit power.

The Zhang family's mountain was not very large, and compared to a real mountain, the difference was quite significant. However, this mountain was within their range of perception, so they sensed Yang Haoran's arrival immediately.

At the time, everyone thought the visitor should be one of Xu Meijing's people, and maybe there was some important matter that required her attention. Even Xu Meijing herself thought so, so Zhang Changchun sent his third son to check the situation.

Third Brother brought the person into the barrier, which Zhang Changchun had no objection to, but when he brought them up to the second floor of the guest lounge, Zhang Changchun was a bit displeased, because in his eyes, not just anyone could come up here, even if they were Xu Meijing's people with a very important matter to discuss.

But what he never expected was that the visitor would be Yang Haoran, which not only dispelled his displeasure but also filled him with surprise and delight, especially after hearing Yang Haoran's words, his delight grew even stronger.

Yang Haoran had come to help him, and how could he not be happy about it? This was a helping hand sent from heaven, and he had no reason to be unhappy.

"Yang Divine Envoy has personally come to help us with the Zhang family's matters, and we're truly grateful. Right now, our Zhang family really needs a helping hand like Yang Divine Envoy's."

Zhang Changchun's excitement was visible to everyone in the room, and Yang Haoran was no exception. However, compared to Zhang Changchun's excitement, he was more concerned about Xu Meijing's furrowed brow.

"Hehe, Old Man Zhang, my abilities are limited, and I'm not sure if I can help you or not," Yang Haoran said with a smile.

"Yang Divine Envoy is too humble, you and Divine Envoy Xu are both true Underworld Envoys, and in dealing with ghosts, you're the real experts. The trouble our Zhang family is facing now is just a ghost."Zhang Changchun smiled and spoke, his happiness unaffected by Yang Haoran's words.

However, just then, Xu Meijing suddenly stood up slowly.

"Everyone, please excuse me for a moment. Yang Divine Envoy has important business to discuss with me, so I need to talk to him first."

Xu Meijing spoke calmly, then looked at Yang Haoran, although she didn't say anything, her meaning was clear, and Yang Haoran understood.

"I'm really sorry, but this matter involves some secrets of our Yin Division, and there's a ban from above, so... so it's not convenient to discuss it in front of everyone."

Yang Haoran apologized with a sheepish expression, explaining to the group, and compared to Xu Meijing, his attitude and tone were much more polite.

"Hahaha, we understand, we understand. Who doesn't have some secrets, right?"

Zhang Changchun laughed and spoke, including Ma Yuanjin, who also nodded in agreement, without showing any dissatisfaction.

They were all old hands, and they wouldn't make some low-level mistakes. Moreover, Yang Haoran's words made sense, as some matters involved secrets of the Yin Division that wouldn't be told to them, and even if they knew, it might not be a good thing.

Of course, Yang Haoran's business with Xu Meijing wasn't about any Yin Division secrets; he was just giving himself a noble excuse.

Xu Meijing didn't bother with such formalities and directly left her seat, heading downstairs.

"Hehe, I'm really sorry," Yang Haoran said with a sheepish expression, smiling at the group, then followed Xu Meijing downstairs.

When they reached the first floor, the Night Watch saw Xu Meijing come down and immediately stood up to pay their respects.

"Uncle, why did you come down so soon? Is the matter resolved? Why didn't I see my grandfather?" Ma Ling asked Yang Haoran.

"It should not be resolved yet, I have some important matters to discuss with Divine Envoy Xu, so I came down early," Yang Haoran explained with a smile.

Ma Ling lightly nodded and didn't ask further, Xu Meijing glanced at Ma Ling, her brow slightly furrowed, then looked at the Night Watch she had brought.

"Wait here for now," she said.

After saying a sentence, Xu Meijing headed towards the hotel's main gate, and Yang Haoran smiled at Ma Ling before turning his attention to Zhang Li.

"You wait here, and think carefully about what you need my help with during this time."

After finishing his sentence, Yang Haoran followed Xu Meijing out of the hotel. As they approached the barrier, the barrier's light screen appeared, and a gap opened up.

It was clear that someone was secretly controlling the barrier, but whether it was Zhang Changchun or his third son, or someone else, was unknown.

"Are you very familiar with Ma Yuanjin's granddaughter?" Xu Meijing asked Yang Haoran with a not-so-good expression as soon as they walked out of the barrier.

Sensing Xu Meijing's tone was off, Yang Haoran's face revealed a bitter smile.

"Ma Ling is my friend, and we've collaborated before," Yang Haoran explained.

"Heh heh, you have a lot of girlfriends, don't you?" Xu Meijing said with a cold laugh.

"It's not a girlfriend, but a female friend, and I don't have many female friends," Yang Haoran continued to explain.

"You don't have many female friends, so you should cherish them even more. Don't you think I'm right?"

Yang Haoran couldn't help but explain again in response to Xu Meijing's obvious sarcasm.

"I think you've misunderstood. Things aren't like you think they are. Although I may not have many advantages, being honest and reliable is definitely one of them. People who know me are aware of this."

Xu Meijing, who had been keeping a straight face, couldn't help but reveal a hint of a smile upon hearing Yang Haoran's words.

"Honest and reliable? You're not afraid of being struck by lightning from the sky. I didn't realize you were so glib-tongued. You've become more capable in just a few days," Xu Meijing said with a laugh.

"I'm not incapable of being glib-tongued, I just don't do it in front of women, especially those I... "

Yang Haoran's voice trailed off, and his face revealed an embarrassed expression.

"Ah, I'm getting old, and some cheesy lines are really hard for me to say," Yang Haoran said with some difficulty.

"Some lines you think are cheesy, but many girls love to hear them. Even corny romantic words can make some girls fall deeply in love," Xu Meijing said with a smile.

"You're right, many girls like to hear them, but that doesn't mean all girls do. There are always some who don't," Yang Haoran responded with a smile.

"Those who don't are in the minority, no wonder you're still single," Xu Meijing said with a laugh.

"Then, do you belong to the minority or the majority?" Yang Haoran asked after some thought.

"I should belong to the minority, I suppose," Xu Meijing said, but her tone was not very confident.

However, Yang Haoran directly ignored the uncertainty in her tone.

"Heh heh, you yourself said you belong to the minority, isn't that just right?" Yang Haoran said with a laugh.

Xu Meijing only smiled and didn't directly answer Yang Haoran's question. The two of them had already arrived at a pavilion.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. We should focus on the main issue," Yang Haoran said.

Xu Meijing nodded, and the two of them entered the pavilion, setting up a restriction barrier.

Yang Haoran didn't beat around the bush and directly told Xu Meijing the original purpose of his trip to Ancheng - he hoped to go to the underworld with Xu Meijing, preferably today.

Xu Meijing had thought Yang Haoran came to find her because of some big incident, but she didn't expect it to be for this reason. She didn't think much about it and directly agreed to Yang Haoran's request.

After getting Xu Meijing's agreement, Yang Haoran was very happy. This way, he could spend time alone with Xu Meijing again, even if it was just for a short time.

He had been worried that the current situation was too chaotic, and Xu Meijing might not be able to spare the time. Now, he didn't need to worry about that anymore.

"By the way, what's going on with the Zhang family? They not only invited you but also the Ma Family, and the other two people I don't know, but they must be very capable. What kind of ghost is it that requires such a big mobilization?" Yang Haoran asked.
