Chen Xuan thought to himself: "Of course, the treasure chest is with you, who else can I go with if I don't go with you?"

Xie Zhixing’s idea was to wait until Chen Xuan had a good rest and then leave immediately.

At this moment, Madam Hua didn't know that they were about to leave.

She had just opened the tightly closed wooden door on the fifth floor when a bone-chilling chill rushed out and condensed into frost on her body.

"Just tell me if you have something to say." An extremely cold voice came from inside the house.

Madam Hua just opened the door but didn't go in. She was even a little afraid and didn't dare to get close.

"Sir, two little ghosts broke into the Du'e Tower today."

"You come to me for such a small matter? Can't you just eat it?" The voice in the room was extremely impatient.

Lady Hua quickly explained: "There is a little ghost who only has one soul and no spirit. The three souls and seven spirits are not complete at all."

"Shua." It was the sound of cloth sliding across the floor. A tall figure walked out from the darkness, half of his body wrapped in a black robe, and asked, "No three souls and seven spirits?"

Lady Hua dodged slightly, allowing the light to enter the room, illuminating half of the man's face. The red lines spread all the way to his chest under the collar. She bowed her head and said respectfully, "Yes, because the master told us to pay more attention to this kind of people before, so I came to disturb you today."

The man called the adult sneered and said, "Do you know why I want you to pay attention to this kind of person?"

Madam Hua shook her head. They didn't need to know the reason, they just needed to follow orders.

"Because he might be an old acquaintance of mine, although we don't have a very good relationship." He laughed, and although his tone was cold, it was much lighter than before.

"Hua Niang, go and bring him up."

"Yes."

Madam Hua quickly stepped back, closed the door, and went downstairs without stopping.

Only when she could no longer feel the man's gaze did she lean against the wall, her breathing becoming more rapid.

"What do you mean?" Xuan Lingzi appeared silently.

Madam Hua stroked her chest and said, "It's so scary. His aura is so strong that I can hardly breathe."

Xuan Lingzi said calmly: "Just get used to it, so what did he say?"

Lady Hua exhaled and said, "Let me take that little devil to find him."

Xuan Lingzi frowned: "He wants to see it in person?"

Madam Hua hesitated and shook her head, "I don't know, maybe. He said it might be an old friend he knew."

...

Xie Zhixing felt uneasy and covered his chest. He changed his plan temporarily, woke Chen Xuan up from his sleep, and the two of them quickly jumped out of the window.

After leaving Du'e Tower, Chen Xuan asked him puzzledly: "Why is it so sudden? Is something going to happen?"

"I don't know, I just have a hunch." Xie Zhixing shook his head, looked around and said, "We shouldn't go back to the place we were before. We need to find another place to hide."

Chen Xuan still remembered what the scholar said about there being a formation here, so the ghost kings in Du'e Tower could easily find them. They really couldn't stay here.

"I have a way." Chen Xuan looked up at the sky and asked Xie Zhixing to follow him.

Chen Xuan found the most remote house near the city wall. Holding a red string in his hand, he circled the surrounding roads and houses. As long as there was a ghost approaching, he would know in advance, and they would have enough time to escape.

After temporarily ensuring safety, Chen Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "So why do you feel unsafe? You came here earlier than me, right?"

Xie Zhixing didn't know either. It was a premonition. He always felt that there were countless pairs of eyes looking at him in that building, making him feel very uncomfortable.

"I'm sorry, I got you into trouble."

"No, no, don't say that." Chen Xuan was a little flustered by what he said, and quickly waved his hand to explain: "Although we haven't known each other for a long time, we are at least friends who have lived together for a lifetime."

Xie Zhixing could not see any scheming or calculation on Chen Xuan's face, and even thought that this man was quite naive.

"Don't you suspect that I'm a bad person?" Xie Zhixing couldn't help but want to tease him.

Chen Xuan laughed and said, "I'll tell you the truth. I have a friend who looks a lot like you. As soon as I saw you, I knew you were definitely not a bad person."

Xie Zhixing smiled helplessly. This explanation was really simple and plain.

Chen Xuan was not lying. Xie Zhixing and Xie Fei were somewhat similar, and neither of them looked like vicious people.

After they secretly left Du'e Tower, the building fell into chaos.

Madam Hua's face turned pale. She never expected that one day she would fall into the trap of the two little devils and be deceived by them.

He was gone for just a while, and when he came back, he was gone. The windows of the room were wide open, and it was obvious that he had escaped from here. Yet no one in the entire Du'e Tower noticed anything.

"What a bunch of rubbish!" Madam Hua was furious. She waved her hand and smashed the table to pieces. "What are you still looking at? Go find him! The master specifically asked to see the little devil named Xie Zhixing. If we can't find him, no one will live."

When they heard that it was the little ghost that the adults wanted, the ghosts ran out on their knees and crawled to look for that person.

Even the other ghost kings were no longer calm.

The scholar asked hurriedly, "What's going on? Why did the two little ghosts disappear? What's going on with the adults?"

The adults don't see anyone once a month or two, so it's really strange that they are going to see a little ghost today.

"Why are you asking so many questions? Go find the person quickly." Madam Hua angrily slapped the scholar and told him to go find the person quickly.

Amon quickly dragged the scholar out and told him to stop asking questions. If he continued asking, Madam Hua would probably get angry.

They and the little ghosts split into several groups. The scholar opened the barrier and let Guisha take a few little ghosts to search outside alone, while he and Amon searched inside.

The barrier divides Egui City into the east and west of the city. The Du'e Tower is in the east of the city. He still has confidence in his own formation and thinks that Chen Xuan and the others must still be nearby, so he took Amon along the way to search and soon found the area where Chen Xuan and the others were hiding.

A red line blocked the road. The scholar had never seen this thing before, so he touched it without thinking. The next second, the piece of flesh that touched the red line felt like it was burned by fire.

"Hiss, this should be something that the Taoist boy arranged." Amon frowned and said, "This boy is a ghost, how can he use Taoist things?"

The scholar said in a deep voice: "Isn't it the same for Xuan Lingzi? This kid is not simple."

...

When the red line was triggered, Chen Xuan felt it and quickly moved his position with Xie Zhixing. In order not to be discovered, he did not retract the red line immediately.

They crossed several streets, and Xie Zhixing suddenly grabbed him and pointed to a taller house not far away. Although it was dilapidated, it had three floors after all.

"Go up, the view there is better."

Chen Xuan nodded, but he let Xie Zhixing go up first, then he teleported to a farther place, retracted the red line, and teleported to Xie Zhixing's side again.

Xie Zhixing was still very curious about his method of sudden appearance and disappearance.

Chen Xuan said casually: "It's almost the same as shrinking the earth into an inch."
