CHAPTER 1065: CHAPTER 1065: TRANSFERRED TO THE EAST SEA

"It’s really boring with the Boss not around." The Demoness looked at the empty table. Ghost’s order to everyone was to stay on standby at the base. A few days ago, there was a big push to "make something happen," but it had now turned into a lazy "waiting to die" state. However... the good news is, Boss Xing’s research base has been located.

The bad news is, it’s not in Yanjing.

Furthermore, Ye Shikai has been "reclusive," leaving all the leaders at the Netherworld Palace puzzled. Perhaps only Ghost would understand that Ye Shikai didn’t avoid coming out by choice, but because it wasn’t convenient for him.

However, Luo Shiqi suggested using her influence to investigate first, which conveniently gave Ye Shikai and the Netherworld Palace a "vacuum period" where no action was needed, just waiting. Ghost also inquired whether this was a good time to rebuild a new base, but both Ye Shikai and Ji Qian rejected the idea. From the recent events, it seemed unnecessary for the two temples to split up.

In fact, the reason Luo Shiqi proposed to take action before the Netherworld Palace was also out of consideration for Ye Shikai. With just over a week to his wedding with Chen Yuxin, although Luo Shiqi didn’t like Chen Yuxin either... the deal was done. Luo Shiqi still chose to help Ye Shikai. During this time, he could focus on preparing the wedding while Luo Shiqi was willing to help share other burdens.

"Ghost, don’t you feel wronged?" The Demoness lazily asked Ghost, who was writing beside her. As soon as the words were out, his pen halted.

"Why should I feel wronged?" Ghost turned his head and said.

"The security for this wedding is all managed by Jeddon." The Demoness looked around; everyone else had gone out for lunch. Seeing that there were only the two of them in the room, only then did the Demoness bring it up.

"So what? Doesn’t matter." Ghost gave a bitter smile. From whose order Jeddon was in charge wasn’t hard to guess. Ghost had always been diligent and loyal, highly respected in Yanjing. Almost everyone spoke out for him when the orders came down. In the end, it was Ghost who reassured everyone. He was devoted to Ye Shikai and even more so to the Netherworld Palace, without thinking much else.

"That woman from the Chen family doesn’t seem like a good person at all, very scheming." The Demoness complained, looking quite dissatisfied with Chen Yuxin.

"Don’t talk nonsense, she’s about to become the Netherworld Empress. Speaking like this violates the rules of the Netherworld Palace." Ghost quickly told the Demoness to hush.

"What are you talking about?" At this time, a cold voice resounded, and Ji Qian walked in from outside.

"Your Highness, the Moon God."

"Sit down, all of you."

"Moon God, tell me, isn’t what Chen Yuxin is doing too much, treating Ghost like this?" The Demoness, always outspoken, directly complained to Ji Qian, familiar as they were.

"I’ve already talked to him about it." Ji Qian said lightly. With Ye Shikai about to marry, Ji Qian was not suited to show herself. Back in foreign lands, their love had been witnessed by all. Not only them, but even other people in the underworld thought Ji Qian would become the Netherworld Empress. However... things often take unexpected turns.

"I don’t mind." Ghost shook his head, not wanting others to worry about him.

"Lord Moon God, is there something you came here for this time?" Ghost quickly shifted the topic.

"I plan to send a group of people to infiltrate Donghai City first. The Moon Guards are enough, but we need a leader. Selena can’t leave my side, so I wanted to choose one of you as the leader." Ji Qian laid out the situation. In fact, last night she had discussed this in person with Luo Shiqi. Luo Shiqi is the queen of the underworld in Yanjing; the low-level thugs, though insignificant in status, are like ants, everywhere. But after all, they are ordinary people. To investigate Boss Xing’s research base, they need cultivators. Ji Qian has returned to the Ji Family, with a justified status as the distinguished lady of the Ji Family in Huaxia. Under her command, the Moon Guards take on an additional identity, the "private guards of Lady Ji," saving a lot of trouble, especially with the National Security Bureau.

"I’ll go." Ghost took a deep breath and volunteered.

"Alright, I’ll discuss it with him." Ji Qian hesitated for a moment but respected Ghost’s decision. The Demoness felt a twinge of sadness; it seemed more like Ji Qian was giving Ghost an out, sending him to Donghai City to avoid the "underutilized" awkwardness here.

"Wait, I want to go too."

"No, the rest of you need to stay here to ensure the Boss’s wedding goes off without a hitch." Ghost immediately said, recalling the time Su Qingyu was attacked at the wedding venue. He had always blamed himself for that. Perhaps... Chen Yuxin having Jeddon in charge was due to this lingering issue.

Ghost could only console himself this way.

....................................

"Lord Netherworld King, Lady Netherworld Empress, that’s the situation." Meanwhile, at the Chen family residence, Jeddon was reporting to them.

"Kai, it seems our wedding is guaranteed to be perfect." Chen Yuxin flashed a satisfied smile. "I wouldn’t want anything unexpected at the wedding, just like..."

"Xin, stop saying that." Ye Shikai said, somewhat displeased, and gestured for Jeddon to leave.

"Where is Ghost?" Ye Shikai rubbed his temples and asked.

"He has other arrangements. As for this wedding, I’ve already given Jeddon responsibility. Kai, you told me to handle it fully, so naturally, I choose who’s in charge."

"Fine, whatever you say." Ye Shikai suddenly felt a bit irritable.

"Kai, why do you seem a bit unhappy? Did I do something wrong?" Chen Yuxin tilted her head, having noticed Ye Shikai’s mood was off.

"It’s not you; I just feel a bit uncomfortable." Ye Shikai stood up and headed to the balcony. "I’m going to have a smoke. You should get some rest; you’re not feeling well."

"Okay, I’ll be going then." Chen Yuxin left the living room, Jeddon waiting at the door.

"Come with me."

"Yes, Lady Netherworld Empress." Chen Yuxin entered the secret chamber, with Jeddon following.

"How are things progressing?" Chen Yuxin asked coldly.

"Everything is ready." Jeddon nodded.

"Don’t let me down in this operation." Chen Yuxin commanded.

"Rest assured, Empress, I’ll lead my trusted aides personally this time."

"Hmm, the key to this operation lies with the Moon God. You’re quite familiar with her, but she’s always cunning." At this point, a trace of resentment flashed in Chen Yuxin’s eyes. "Be very careful."
