Immortality Cultivation Era

Chapter 124 Do You Believe in Ghost?

Suzhou is not near Song City. It takes three hours to reach Suzhou from Song City by high-speed train.

For Gao Ge, he will definitely prefer high-speed train to airplane as long as he is allowed to choose between them, especially for the journey at middle distance. After all, he must go to the airport for check-in in advance if he travels by plane, usually two or three hours ahead. In this way, the time he has to spend on the journey is more or less the same with taking a high-speed train.

Apart from that, there is one more reason.

Gao Ge always feels that high-speed train (the phrase is spelt in Chinese as Gaotie) seems to belong to the same family with him. Hence, he must look after his own family’s business.

After they arrive in Suzhou, Gao Ge and Xia Lu walk out of the train station to meet with Meng Jing and the others.

Apart from Meng Jing, Yue Xincheng and Su Hui, there are young men as well, who Gao Ge has never met in the Academy before. When they see Gao Ge, they just frown and take a dislike to him.

Instantly, Gao Ge can’t feel perplexed.

It seems that he hasn’t met the two guys. They appear so angry upon the sight of Gao Ge. Those who don’t know about them may think he has done something beyond words to them.

“Boss!” Yue Xincheng gives Gao Ge a big hug the moment they meet, “Here you come. We can go back soon!”

This is Yue Xincheng’s trust for Gao Ge.

Never has he doubted whether Gao Ge will also be unable to complete the task after arriving in Suzhou.

What he is thinking about is how long Gao Ge has to spend in completing the task.

Faced with Yue Xincheng’s trust, Gao Ge feels quite touched as well as confused.

How come this guy is so confident in him?

Even he is not that confident in himself...

“Okay. Let’s go back first.” One of the young men walks forward and says, “Don’t waste time here.”

“Okay.” Gao Ge nods his head. Although the man’s manner is not nice, Gao Ge is not that kind of person who gets above himself everywhere.

Moreover, there is nothing wrong with what the man said.

When they return to the hotel by taxi, Gao Ge finally understands why Shen Mo kept complaining about his parsimony. Unlike the team led by him, the members of this team live in a 5-star hotel.

“Sorry, our fund is limited so we can’t afford to provide a room for both of you.” The man who is speaking is Sun Lei, the leader of Yue Xincheng and Meng Jing for the task. He is also from Class Heaven and has stayed in the Cultivation Academy for three years. Like Shen Mo, he has executed tasks with the Dragon Court for a few times. He is kind of experienced. As such, he is made the leader for the task.

“It’s okay. We have money.” Gao Ge says smilingly.

“What a coincidence! All the rooms of the hotel are booked.” Sun Lei says with a smile.

“It’s okay too. I can live with my girlfriend.” Gao Ge says.

The man immediately pulls a long face, saying furiously, “Bullshit! You are still students now. How can you live together? If it leaks out, won’t it damage the reputation of the Cultivation Academy?”

He is a leader indeed, who is able to exaggerate a tiny thing with a few words. It looks like if Gao Ge dares to live with Meng Jing, they should be hanged.

Meng Jing also gazes at Gao Ge and says angrily, “Don’t talk nonsense.”

Gao Ge chuckles.

Sun Lei becomes even more annoyed, saying, “We are here to execute the task but not to date!”

“Okay. My boss and I live in one room while Xia Lu and Meng Jing live in another room. Is it okay?” Yue Xincheng says impatiently.

Sun Lei thinks for a second and then nods his head.

“I’ll leave you guys here. See you.” After saying that, Sun Lei is about to leave with the other man. Before he leaves, he suddenly pauses, saying to Meng Jing, “Meng Jing, now that you are still a student, you must cherish your good name.”

Meng Jing says angrily, “What do you mean? When do I not cherish my good name?”

Gao Ge is also a bit irritated.

“All in all, mind your behaviors.” After saying that, Sun Lei leaves.

Yue Xincheng walks to the front of Gao Ge, saying, “Boss, that guy takes a fancy to your girl!”

Meng Jing is so pissed off and then yells at Yue Xincheng, “Stop talking nonsense!”

Yue Xincheng appears so grieved, “Sister Jing, I wasn’t talking nonsense. Trust me. As a man, I know better than you about a man’s thinking. The first time he saw you, he looked so fascinated by you.”

Meng Jing wants to say more when Su Hui also speaks, “Meng Jing, although Yue Xincheng is quite annoying, I think he is right.”

Meng Jing cannot argue anymore.

Gao Ge doesn’t think so.

He pulls Meng Jing towards himself and holds her hand naturally, giving a proud look.

“The girl I like must be excellent! It is normal that other men will like her too.”

Meng Jing rolls her eyes and yet cannot hide her shyness. No girl will dislike hearing her boyfriend say that. Xia Lu, Yue Xincheng and Su Hui just can’t help rolling their eyes.

When they go into the room, they sit together, except that Sun Lei and the other teammate called Jia Hongyun don’t come along.

It can be seen that Sun Lei and Jia Hongyun are unhappy with the arrival of Gao Ge and Xia Lu.

In addition, it is not merely because Sun Lei likes Meng Jing.

Yue Xincheng laughs and says to Gao Ge, “Boss, in fact it is quite simple. Since you are here, even if the task is completed, the credit will go to you and has nothing to do with him. By then, he doesn’t have a chance to get the reward given by the Cultivation Academy and the Dragon Court.”

Gao Ge is a bit surprised, “Is that so?”

“Yeah. Even if he makes any contribution, the result will still not be expected by him.” Yue Xincheng says.

Gao Ge touches his chin and says, “If so, why did he go to pick us up? He may as well directly make us leave.”

Su Hui says aside, “Usually, Sun Lei may actually do that but now even if he wants to do so, he can’t anyway, because the task is quite weird indeed. We have been in Suzhou for some time but we haven’t got any progress. In this case, the task can’t be finished in the end. For Sun Lei, completing the task without any credit is better than being unable to complete it.”

Gao Ge takes a tumble.

To put it simply.

Under the present circumstance, Sun Lei just hopes that he can do nothing wrong rather than make any accomplishment.

Therefore, even though Sun Lei is so discontented, he cannot have any other choice when faced with the task he must complete.

“Okay. Talk about the task for you this time.” Gao Ge says.

Yue Xincheng thinks for a moment and suddenly says, “Boss, do you believe that there is ghost in the world?”

Gao Ge smirks.

Does he believe there are ghosts in the world?

He must be kidding!

Gao Ge has actually met one before. To be more specific, he met the ghost with Meng Jing on the bus. Yet, though the ghost succeeded in spirit cohesion, she was not capable at all so she was eliminated directly.

Funnily enough, the girl ghost should want to possess the body of Meng Jing.

She was just like trying to wake up a sleeping lion. Though Gao Ge didn’t like intervening in others’ business, he must fly into a rage when he encountered such a thing.
