Chapter 556: Leaving The City

Lan did not seem to care about being exposed at all. He just snorted proudly and raised his chin.
"To chase your wife, you have to display the ability to coax her. For me, women are a nuisance. Only my true love can make me put down my pride and arrogance to accommodate unconditionally."
Xue Wei smiled wryly and had to agree. For Wang Xiaoyun, he was also willing to do almost anything to see her happy. He was not one who would feel soft for other females; only she was special to him.
Lan understood Xue Wei's thoughts as soon as he saw the softness in his eyes and shook his head a bit helplessly. It seemed that the two of them were both caught in the trap called love.
Both of them were extremely talented, and they also both had an illustrious identity. While Xue Wei was still not as strong as him, he had the bloodline of the Holy Maiden. He was also a Rulebreaker, and he had unlimited potential to reach the ranks of a deity at a young age.
He was the kind of person that would be able to attract countless women, and could easily build a harem, but it was clear that he did not wish to be with any other woman than Wang Xiaoyun.
Lan was the same. His godfather, Hui Yue, had more than one wife, and while they were happy, he could not live such a life himself.
He was not one to judge others and their way of living, but he understood that for him, there was only space for one wife in his heart, and Mo Lian had taken all the space. It was also due to this desperation that he could do anything to meet her again.
Both Lan and Xue Wei were deep in thought for a short while, but they quickly accepted their lot in life. So what if they were willing to give up almost anything for the one they loved? It was their choice, and others' thoughts did not matter to them.
They slowly settled again, and while Xue Wei continued to cultivate, Lan examined the remaining part of the seal, trying to find a way to unravel it faster.
Time flowed like water while the two were immersed in their cultivation. The branch leader and Mo Lian were both busy preparing for the trip to that special area, but no one interrupted the two living creatures in their courtyard.
It was not before a few days later that they got summoned and asked to prepare. It was clear that everything was now ready, and it was about time for them to depart.
After finishing up the preparations, it was decided that the branch leader would take the task of showing the way towards the area. Mo Lian was busy getting other things ready, and she had to rush from one area of the Ghost Realm to another.
Many of the strongest ghosts had long since realized that something was happening with the branch leader and Mo Lian, but both of them kept their mouths shut, and refused to go into details of the situation.
As such, many felt more and more curious, but their questions got no real answer, and they decided to change their strategy.
Many experts tried various methods to get news, and this was what Mo Lian had left to intercept.
She released many fake news. At the same time, she also added many interesting details, making it so that those who received the word were unaware of what was true and what was fake.
Under the veil of rumors and confusion, an ordinary carriage left the city. The carriage was just one among many that were going in and out every day, and no one paid it any attention.
Within the carriage were Xue Wei and Lan, who were focused on their cultivation once more, while the branch leader was casually looking at the screen that showed the crowd outside the carriage.
He could not help but feel a little disillusioned when he saw how simple it was for them to escape the city with no one paying them any attention.
He and Mo Lian had spent many hours trying to find the most inconspicuous way to escape so that those who were aiming for their secrets would not find them, but none of them had thought of this method.
When Xue Wei casually suggested it, they both felt as if a whole new world had opened up to them, and they felt rather surprised.
The branch leader had never before considered just pretending to be an ordinary merchant. It was not that he looked down upon these ghosts, but he had never considered pretending to be someone he was not.
When he looked at Xue Wei and Lan, who both acted as if this was a commonplace experience, he could not help but feel that he had a lot to learn about the world of the living.
The Ghost Realm was very violent, but not many were that scheming. Most preferred to fight with strength, so while a few schemed against others, it was not something that the branch leader was very familiar with.
As the carriage left the city behind, his wound-up nerves slowly relaxed, and he too began to cultivate.
What he was cultivating was not Qi, but instead soul energy. He was consuming soul crystals slowly, and while the advance in strength was minimal, he still felt that it was better to try and get at least a bit stronger than to waste the time spent in the carriage on the way to the haunted area.
