I Am Your Natural Enemy

Chapter 471: Chapter 193: My Name, I Let You Laugh (5k)_2

”It’s fine, even if it’s a fake, doesn’t matter. I’m just going to do something I was already planning to do anyway, just going to check on a little girl I met before.”

”As long as you’re clear about it.”

The Seventh Great-Uncle Master nodded.

”We’re just here to check on you, it’s nothing important really.

The Grand Uncle Master was just worried and insisted we take a look at you.

If you have something to do, go ahead and take care of it first.”

Wen Yan nodded, took out the Scorching Sun Department’s phone, and checked it using his access privileges.

He easily found Chen Qimo’s information.

A small city in Central Plains County.

He pondered for a moment, carefully checked the map—this small town was quite far from the river, the important tributaries were far away too, just some little streams on the edges, which by the looks of the photos wouldn’t even count as rivers in Nanwu County.

Now Wen Yan was completely reassured: it’s far from the Yellow River, also very far from the Huai River, so there’s nothing to worry about.

He picked up his phone, planning to call Feng Yao, but after checking the time, he grinned and dialed Cai Qidong instead.

After two rings, the call was picked up.

”Back already?”

”Yeah, I’m back. Thrilling but no real danger, details later.

Just talked to Lord Zhu, he asked me to pass a message to the Central Plains Scorching Sun Department.

The risks lurking over there are getting higher and higher, and it looks like there may be someone among the ghosts with professional-level abilities—extremely dangerous.

I’ve got something to take care of now, need to go to Central Plains County for a bit, so I’ll leave the message passing to you.

Oh, by the way, your relationship with the minister of Central Plains Scorching Sun Department... that’s not bad too, is it?”

”...”

Cai Qidong was silent.

He couldn’t help it and hung up the phone.

Any time he’d been talking to Wen Yan for less than three sentences, he suddenly started to miss the days Wen Yan was stuck in the Netherworld.

He took a deep breath and called Wen Yan back, asking with a serious tone,

”Anything else?”

”Nothing else, just letting you know that I’m heading over there, giving everyone a heads-up to avoid any misunderstandings later.”

”If that’s all, I’m hanging up...”

Beep... beep...

Cai Qidong listened to the sound on the line with a black face.

Alright, this is definitely Wen Yan, one hundred percent not an impersonator.

No matter how bold a fake, no way they’d be able to annoy him like Wen Yan does.

Wen Yan hung up, scrolled through his contacts on his phone.

Having had Cai Heizi hang up on him, then calling back and getting through, he felt much better.

Just a pity, after all these years, Cai Heizi can still hold back from swearing and losing his temper, only hangs up—Wen Yan was a bit disappointed.

The folks at Nanwu County Scorching Sun Department have probably used the old ringtone for far too long, dying for some new material to come up.

Wen Yan called Grave Walker, asking if he was free, as he needed some urgent help.

Grave Walker agreed readily, since this was the time when ghosts were the most active.

Grave Walker was back, and actually didn’t have much to do—Lord Zhu lately hasn’t gone anywhere, busy with rebuilding the manor.

Grave Walker said he’d be there soon; since it was urgent, he’d take the main road, which would be quicker.

Wen Yan chatted with the Seventh Great-Uncle Master for a bit.

Originally, the Grand Uncle Master, Third, and Fourth Great-Uncle Masters all wanted to come.

But lately Binhai County has been showing signs of unrest; the Third Great-Uncle Master definitely has to be stationed at Fuyu Mountain and can’t leave.

The Grand Uncle Master is getting old, not like the younger ones who can stay up late.

Nothing major at the moment, so Wen Yan let the Seventh Great-Uncle Master know that the Big Fire Basin from the Sacred Fire Sect had been brought back by him and is being transported to Fuyu Mountain—he should be ready to receive it.

After chatting for a while, Wen Yan waited outside Old Zhao’s house for Grave Walker to show up.

Pei Tugou didn’t show up today either—according to Gauss, lately he’s been too bored and decided to skip coming out at night.

Wen Yan glanced to the side; Pei Tugou was probably already asleep, everything was quiet, and the ”silly boy” wasn’t making any noise.

Originally he planned to check on the ”silly boy” tomorrow, but now, forget it, better go to Central Plains County first.

He didn’t have to wait long before Grave Walker came out from Old Zhao’s house, and upon seeing Wen Yan, walked over with a smile and held out a hand.

Wen Yan was a bit confused, but reached out and shook his hand.

Grave Walker looked very serious, as if performing some kind of solemn ritual.

”My name is Feng Wei, screen name Grave Walker, profession: coachman. Of course, you can call me whatever you like.”

Wen Yan thought about it—this was probably the first time Grave Walker had ever introduced himself, never done that before.

He also realized he’d never actually asked Grave Walker his real name, had just been calling him whatever all along.

Didn’t quite get why, but had a sense this meant a lot to Grave Walker.

With that, Wen Yan smiled and replied,

”Alright, Feng Wei, have to trouble you again this time.”

”No problem, happy to help.” Grave Walker grinned, obviously just being called by his name had made him beam with joy.

Together they entered Old Zhao’s villa.

Only then did Wen Yan remember to ask,

”You didn’t run into any danger on your way here, did you?”

”No, I heard that now all the ghosts avoid this intersection—it’s super safe.”

Wen Yan followed Grave Walker, taking the side paths all the way to Netherworld Avenue, and sure enough, though there were a ton of unconscious ghosts here, when they got to the intersection, they all kept far away.

Looks like it’s going to be really hard to run into anything around here now.
