"Lord Shing Wong invited me to a banquet?"
Ye Yuan's heart skipped a beat. His first reaction was disbelief.
How much weight does my surname Ye have?
How could a righteous god of the underworld specially treat me to a meal?
He almost blurted out the words " Are you a liar?"
However, he still took back the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
He didn't know if the Shing Wong had invited him to the banquet, but the person before him seemed to be Judge Wen of the Shing Wong Manor.
He was dressed in a black official robe, dignified and solemn. His body emitted a cold aura, but it was harmless to people. Instead, it faintly revealed a deep sense of virtue.
This was normal. After death, which of those who could be recruited to become a god did not have some virtue?
As for impersonation?
It was unlikely.
Which wandering soul dared to impersonate a judge in broad daylight? Did they really think that the Shing Wong Manor was useless?
Moreover, who would use this kind of impersonation to deceive Ye Yuan?
Thinking of this, Ye Yuan also believed 70 - 80% of the identity of the dark soul in front of him and asked in confusion.
"I'm just a commoner. Why did Lord Shing Wong invite me?”
A commoner?
Judge Wen felt as if his intelligence had been insulted. The corners of his mouth twitched, but he still replied respectfully.
"Sir, you must be joking. I know that you've returned to your original state and are playing around in the world. I shouldn't have disturbed you, but you've given my City God's Manor a new lease of life, so I have no choice but to repay you…That's why Lord City God sent a little god to invite you.”
In the blink of an eye, so many days had passed. The reason why Xiao Ning County's Shing Wong did not contact Ye Yuan was not only because he had a headache and did not know what gift to prepare, but also because he wanted to observe Ye Yuan.
This person was really too mysterious. To deal with him, one had to at least have some understanding of him.
Even if this kind of understanding was limited to the surface, it was still better than not knowing anything.
However, he did not dare to openly send people to follow Ye Yuan. This was not repaying his kindness, but asking for a beating.
They could only send Yakshas at night to inquire about Ye Yuan from others.
These few days, Ye Yuan went out frequently and met and interacted with many people.
He had been influenced by modern society. Whether it was the peddlers or the servants, or the dignitaries, he treated everyone equally, was kind to others, and was polite and easy-going.
Therefore, everyone's evaluation of him was relatively positive.
The bad impression left behind by Ye Yuan living in the haunted house a few days ago had also gradually disappeared.
After learning of this, Shing Wong heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that this senior was not someone who was too difficult to deal with. Thus, he no longer had any worries and sent out his subordinates to invite him.
Repay?
Ye Yuan could be said to be confused. What did I do to actually make the righteous god of the underworld owe me a favor?
Could it be the Fiendish Ghost?
Ye Yuan's heart moved. It was most likely this matter.
"Could it be that I got rid of the Fiendish Ghost by chance and resolved a matter of concern for the City God, so I want to repay his kindness?”
Just as this thought appeared, Ye Yuan was almost certain.
Other than this, he shouldn't have anything to do with the Shing Wong.
"Then I'll have to trouble you to lead the way."
Ye Yuan nodded and agreed.
The invitation from the Shing Wong was a great honor. He had no reason to reject it. Furthermore, this was a grate-giving banquet.
God's gratitude…
If there were benefits, it would be a waste not to take them.
"Sir is too polite."
Judge Wen's attitude was very humble.
This made Ye Yuan click his tongue in wonder. He originally thought that in front of a god, he would naturally have some dignity. He did not expect him to be so humble.
In his previous life, he had studied ancient myths and had read countless legends of gods. In this life, he finally saw a living one. Ye Yuan felt a lot of curiosity and found a topic to ask.
"When we met earlier, the god said that you are the new Judge Wen? I wonder why."
When Judge Wen heard this, he couldn't help but sigh. His eyes revealed a look of regret.
"To be honest, not long ago, I was just a small inspector. The reason why I was promoted was because the previous civil judge met with a disaster and the position was vacated.”
Ye Yuan was stunned.
"How could this be?"
Judge Wen sighed again.
"At the same time, Judge Wu, many assistant officials, messengers of death, and even Lord Shing Wong were injured. Even the Shing Wong Seal was taken away.”
Ye Yuan's heart shook. Little Ning County's City God Manor almost collapsed? What kind of calamity was so dangerous? And the most amazing thing was that this should be considered a secret, especially when it involved Lord Shing Wong. Why did the new Judge Wen say it without a word?
Therefore, Ye Yuan did not know how to do it for a while.
What should I say?
His short silence caused Judge Wen to misunderstand and he continued.
" Since Little God mentioned all this, I believe that with your wisdom, you should already know the cause and effect. That's right, the one who caused the Shing Wong Manor to fall into such a predicament is the Fiendish Ghost that you casually eliminated…"
"That's why Little God said that Mister's kindness to Little Ning County's Shing Wong Manor is the same as rebuilding.”
"Lord Shing Wong has been racking his brains these past few days to repay such kindness.”
When Ye Yuan heard this, he only felt that it was unbelievable.
It turned out that the real name of the fierce ghost that the commoners were talking about was Fiendish Ghost…
He had originally thought that the ghost that had been casually sucked dry by the bronze cauldron was just a small character.
He didn't expect such a thing to happen!
Did I have too high expectations for the Yin Si orthodox god?
Or was that Fiendish Ghost so powerful that it was beyond imagination?
At this moment, Ye Yuan finally realized something. The records of his previous life were still his previous life. The gods of this life and the gods of his previous life did not seem to be the same.
He could find out the difference later.
However, he only thought about these thoughts in his heart and did not show them on his face. He only acted modestly.
"You're welcome, you're welcome."
The two talked as they moved forward.
Not long after, they arrived at a place.
Ye Yuan did not even need to look up to know that this place was definitely the City God Temple.
The reason was very simple. Even from afar, one could smell a dense incense scent.
In the entire Ning County, only the City God Temple had such incense.
He raised his head and saw that it was indeed the case.
There was an endless stream of good men and women.
When Ye Yuan saw this, he could not help but sigh.
"The Shing Wong Temple is so popular. It can be seen that Lord Shing Wong has won the hearts of the people.”
These words were half truth and half flattery.
After all, the person in front of him was a subordinate of Shing Wong. It was not a problem for him to say something nice.
However, he did not expect it.
As soon as he finished speaking, an old voice sounded.
"What Mr. Ye said really makes me ashamed.”
An old man with a long beard walked out, his eyes filled with shame.
"Little God was broken into by that fiendish ghost and his seal was taken away. He was like a stray dog and put the people of Little Ning County in danger.”
"If Mister didn't take action, I'm afraid the consequences would be unpredictable.”
"But the people don't know that you are a righteous person and only think that killing the Fiendish Ghost is my work, so they offered incense…But this incense is very hot for me!”
Seeing the old man in front of him, Ye Yuan immediately understood.
This was the legendary god of the underworld, the City God of Xiao Ning County!
