Chapter 1663 - 302: Appointment of the Ghost Commander

But this time, it was not to achieve a suppressive effect, just to serve as a background in the ritual process.

Lin Shuyou faced Li Zhiyuan and knelt on one knee.

His mind was a bit muddled now, like he was in a half-asleep state.

The young man spread his left hand, performing an invisible lift:

"Fengdu decree, now appoint Lin Shuyou as Fengdu Yinsi Ghost General."

Li Zhiyuan kept everything simple here, appointing people within his own team behind closed doors, there's no need to go to great lengths for grand displays.

Lin Shuyou muttered in a daze:

"Receive the decree!"

The ghost general mark that had already appeared on Lin Shuyou's forehead stopped flickering and rotating, becoming fixed.

In contrast, the True Monarch mark started unsettling, showing a trend of growing agitation.

"Fengdu decree, now appoint White Crane Child as Lin Shuyou's subordinate Ghost General!"

The child's voice conveyed:

"Receive the decree!"

The True Monarch mark stabilized.

The two marks not only no longer conflicted, but rather showed signs of mutual integration.

"Ah...…"

In an instant, Lin Shuyou felt a sense of full-body comfort; the power of the past not only returned but also increased significantly.

The poisonous candy given by the Great Emperor was peeled away, yet the candy itself was consumed.

"Ah~~~~"

Lin Shuyou stood up, the ghost general's patterns on his face faded, replaced by the former True Monarch's patterns, displaying the traditional and defiant image of the White Crane Child.

This was his decision in prioritizing positions; he still preferred being the White Crane True Monarch, as for the ghost general…just an accessory tag.

A formidable pressure, with Lin Shuyou as the center, spread throughout the Bai family town.

The True Monarch's vertical pupils were imbued with ghostly depth, bringing even more terrifying pressure.

Theoretically speaking, everyone in the Bai family town could be classified as evil.

This equates to all Bai family's ladies in the town being "swept" by the White Crane True Monarch just now, like a warden inspecting prisoners.

This was an unspoken form of deterrence.

If the Bai family town continues to be unruly, then Uncle Qin doesn't need to suppress his power into Jiang; a White Crane will dive into the river on its own.

"Whew..."

The aura retracts, and Lin Shuyou imitates Brother Bin, practicing restraint.

Yet, his pure youthful disposition, regaining stronger power, made him utter the same words as Tan Wenbin just now, but appearing more sincere and confident:

"Brother Xiao Yuan, after you help Run Sheng unblock the Qi Gate, I want a good fight with Run Sheng!" 𝘧𝓇ℯℴ𝓂

"You two can make arrangements yourselves."

Even just by sensing the aura, one can clearly discern the enormous changes in Tan Wenbin and Lin Shuyou, their change in strength cannot be simply described as doubled.

This wave from Fengdu, has its advantage of exceeding specifications, that is, resulting in remarkable gains.

But the prerequisite was Li Zhiyuan secretly replacing the lock.

If the lock on the Ghost Gate hadn't been successfully replaced, and Li Zhiyuan hadn't gained the Great Emperor's recognition for authority, then it wouldn't be marvelling at the evident increase in team strength right now, but that the team was about to explode.

Li Zhiyuan looked at Tan Wenbin: "Ready to go, Brother Binbin, go greet them."

"Understood."

Tan Wenbin walked along the town road towards the town center, when he reached the ancestral hall door, the door opened automatically.

That Bai family sister-in-law stood behind the door, welcoming.

Tan Wenbin nodded to her and walked with her into the center of the ancestral hall.

His gaze glanced at the red coffin placed there, feeling as if he had mistakenly entered Brother Liang's bridal chamber.

Clearing distractions, Tan Wenbin walked to the incense table.

Bai family's lady handed him an incense stick.

Tan Wenbin caught the incense with one hand, flicked it with his middle finger, breaking the lower half of the incense.

Leaving only the upper half, he inserted it into the incense burner.

He neither performed a ceremony before offering, nor had any extra actions after inserting incense, just simply nodding to the person beside him.

This signifies that he was not there to pay respects to the Bai family, the Bai family town didn't qualify for a tribute from the Dragon King family.

Coming for half an incense stick respected an individual's sake, also repaid the favor of borrowing the venue.

The Jianghu's rules are numerous, the higher you go, the heavier the rules, not to grasp those so-called rules to utilize your status, rather if not understood, unnecessary causality entanglement could occur.

For instance, truly foolishly replacing your own Brother Xiao Yuan to perform rites and offer incense, doesn't that mean directly acknowledging the nearly equal relationship between Bai family town and Dragon King family, letting them take advantage? Or you actively take on behalf of Bai family town?

Only Tan Wenbin, due to frequently accompanying the elder lady in chatting, the elder lady intending to help him to influence toward the Dragon King boat's bow direction, understood these rules.

When Tan Wenbin came out, he saw Brother Xiao Yuan and Ah You already waiting for him outside the archway, he gestured with his hand and returned the water pipe and fire stick to their original places.

The Bai family sister-in-law followed behind him, seeing this scene, deliberately covering her mouth to joke:

"Little Yu is young in age, if you're lacking a serving maid by your side, you can take her back, it would also be her fortune."

This manner and expression are very similar to the dialogue between the local fortress master and the garrison eunuch.

Also it slightly touches on the "sister-in-law" status, joking lightly with a little brother-in-law tone.

Being someone who has lived so long and can preside over this generation of Bai family, except for the impetuous passion in the matter of Xue Liangliang, she has been calm and knows her boundaries at other times.

"Young in age, born in which year?"

"Just past sixty years."

"Forget it, bringing her back, it's like bringing my granny back an old gal pal."

The woman did not continue to mention, she knew that the other party wouldn't take her.
