Volume 2: Entering the Ghost Feast Verse 78: Partner

"Hello?" Pu Zitong's soft voice came from the phone.

"That, I'm Zhang, I'm here to admit my mistake to you, the death of Luxengo before had a big impact on me, so I haven't come out of that sadness and self-blame and fear for a while, I ignore your feelings, I know, my snubbing of you will cause you a lot of trouble, I hope you can forgive me." Zhang Su couldn't tell if Pu Zitong was still with Pu Linggong, and apologized sincerely.

"Hmph, I won't forgive you, you bastard, you dare to ignore me for months, I'm angry!" Pu Zitong pretended to be willful.

Zhang Su knew that Pu Zitong's willfulness meant that Pu Linggong was still near Pu Zitong, and he might even be listening to the conversation between Zhang Su and Pu Zitong, Zhang Su immediately reacted, Pu Zitong's current situation is very delicate.

"My dear, I sincerely say sorry to you once again, and ask you to send me deliverance and grace like a gentle goddess, and if possible, I am willing to kneel before you at this moment, kiss your slender hand, warm your lonely heart, and soothe your soul ravaged by love and longing, so as to make up for the sins I have committed, can you give me another chance?" Zhang Su's eyes rolled, changed his previous depression, and suddenly learned to speak to Pu Zitong in a Shakespearean tone, ostensibly to ask for Pu Zitong's forgiveness, but in fact, he sang to Pu Linggong behind him.

Just when Pu Zitong hadn't spoken, Pu Linggong's chirp came from the other end of the phone: "Are you young people so numb now?" Oops, I can't stand it, toothache, you talk, I'll go to see the teeth first. ”

"Dad, what's wrong with your teeth? Is it serious? On the other end of the phone, there was the sound of Pu Linggong's footsteps leaving, and on the other hand, Pu Zitong's concerned inquiry sounded.

"I was ashamed of your young people, you can solve your own affairs, there is still a car at this point, I am going to catch the high-speed train home now, you also remember to go home often, your mother is at home all day long and you don't go home after graduation, and she sprinkles her anger on me every day, half of the matter I came to you is also instructed by your mother......" On the other end of the phone, Pu Linggong continued to speak, his voice getting farther and farther away, more and more blurred.

A moment later, a distant sound of the door closing, Pu Zitong returned to the phone again, and said to Zhang Su: "The alarm is lifted." ”

Zhang Su smiled and replied: "You are really, even your own father can deceive, I think your father loves you very much." ”

"Hmph, if you don't lie to him, I can't hide from the martial arts competition, he really loves me, in his eyes, the family interests come first, my mother and I are second, and everything else is the third, so even if he loves me so much, he still put me in a shackle of martial arts recruitment." Pu Zitong complained.

"Okay, okay, I can't take care of your family's affairs, I'm your employee now, take money to do things, and you haven't seen you for the past few months, but you paid my card on time, not bad, not bad." Zhang Su said with a smile.

"Hmph, it's embarrassing to say that you haven't worked for four months, but this time is quite calm, a few challengers who are not strong have been sent by me, and some people have gone to Gu Yueming to challenge, you are just a second child, who rarely asks you to challenge." Pu Zitong replied.

"It seems that I have a level of admitting defeat." Zhang Su teased himself.

"Say you're fat and you're still panting, how did you come up with that set of meaty rhetoric that you just apologized for? I remember when I first met you, you were the kind of withdrawn and indifferent but serious person, but now I didn't expect you to have a poetic commotion in your bones, which is not like you. Pu Zitong asked with a smile.

"What is poetic commotion? People will always grow, not to mention that I have tried my best to help you out, and a little trick can't be used to see through my whole personality. Zhang Su rolled his eyes and replied.

"Good guy, you have been promoted to the level of personality, and your realm is getting higher and higher." Pu Zitong pretended to exclaim.

"Don't talk nonsense, what I heard Hu Xi convey meant that you are going to partner with me to hunt souls, right? Aren't you going to retreat into penance? How are you going to come out now? Zhang Su asked.

"It's a long story, my strength has advanced more than one level in the past six months since I was a newcomer, and now it is an intermediate soul king level, although there are many factors in this, including the reason why the higher the level of soul power, the slower the increase, and the other is that there is no soul dust auxiliary gathering in the soul building room to help, but I thought about it and found that these are not the most important, the main problem is that I am stuck on the bottleneck of the intermediate soul king, although I can break through to the advanced soul king in one step, but I have never been able to do it, This state has been going on for two or three months, so I want to try the path of soul hunting, maybe I can make a breakthrough in practice. Pu Zitong told his thoughts.

"There is some truth, I still have a way to recommend to you, of course, it can be done at the same time as the soul hunt." Zhang Ji thought for a while and said.

"What way?" Pu Zitong asked.

"Go and visit the masters, this is also what Hu Xige suggested to me, I want to find some hidden masters to visit after a period of soul hunting, so as to improve my strength." Zhang Su replied.

Pu Zitong was silent for a while, and then replied: "Yes, although our Pu family's soul master background is already strong, but the thousands of knots need to be solved by thousands of families, and it is indeed a good way to find a more effective way to break through the shackles and improve yourself." ”

"Since you agree, then let's hunt souls together, we are a fake couple, trading relationships, knowing each other's roots, and having soul contract constraints between each other, so that there will be no credit crisis, I think it's a good combination." Zhang Su suggested.

"I haven't figured this out yet, let's make an appointment tomorrow, and we'll meet again to discuss." Pu Zitong replied.

"It's okay, it's not clear on the phone, you set a time and place, and we'll meet tomorrow." Zhang said.

"Tomorrow at noon, at twelve o'clock at noon, meet at the Taiko Cafe opposite Fenghuang KTV on North Liaobei Road, when the time comes, I will first find a couple's room, and then send you the room number in advance, you remember to buy two cups of coffee at the front desk and then enter the room to find me, what do you drink, just buy me a cup of cappuccino, ask for a heart-shaped latte art, sprinkle some more cinnamon powder on it." Pu Zitong immediately finalized it.

"Huh? Do you want anything else to eat? Zhang Su's eyelids jumped and asked.

"Whatever you want, if you want to eat it, add me a strawberry jam filled puff cake, that one is low in calories." Pu Zitong thought about it and said seriously.

"I'll go, you're really embarrassed to open your mouth, I feel that you let me invite a guest to dinner, I think it's a small matter to discuss things, and it's a big thing to kill me." Zhang Su complained.

"You're my boyfriend, shouldn't you have a dinner?" Pu Zitong smiled mischievously.

"Don't, auntie, I'm not your boyfriend, do you understand temporarily? We're a deal, don't kill me under this guise. Zhang Wei snorted coldly.

"Hey, I was affectionate just now, but now I don't admit it when I put on my pants." Pu Zitong mocked Zhang Weidao.

"The more you talk about this, the more unsound it becomes, forget it, I can't please it, then make an appointment to meet at the Taiko Cafe at twelve o'clock at noon tomorrow, and I'll wait for you to send me the room number." Zhang Su scratched his head and replied.

After that, Pu Zitong chatted with Zhang Su about some things about the competition and recruiting relatives, mainly that Pu Zitong told Zhang Su who was involved in it, so that Zhang Zhen was psychologically prepared, there was still a little more than a year before the official martial arts competition, Pu Zitong didn't want any more episodes in this year, so that she could change the result of the competition and recruit relatives according to her own plan, so that she could return to her free body.

Zhang Su listened, he didn't say anything, he was a shield, he was an employee hired by Pu Zitong with money, and he didn't have the right to interfere, he just had to do his part according to the agreement, so after listening to Pu Zitong's further fake couple plan, Zhang Su agreed and hung up the phone.

At the train station, a middle-aged man and an elderly man walked into the ticket gate, passed the security check and came to the designated waiting area, standing and talking in a corner.

"Hey, I'm just too spoiled by her, I didn't expect her to even dare to lie to me." The middle-aged man spoke, angry and helpless, and finally had to sigh, this middle-aged man is Pu Zitong's father, the current head of the Pu family, Pu Linggong.

"Miss just doesn't want to marry casually, it's understandable to come up with that way, now that the head of the family already knows, what are the plans for next." The old man asked, if Zhang Su was at the station at this time, he would obviously be able to recognize the old man who spoke as Pu Mu, the great elder of the Pu family who had met in the Heavenly Soul Castle.

"She thinks too simply, if she doesn't marry, then this competition is a farce, those people in the soul master realm are not stupid, they don't care about the process, they are waiting to see the results of this competition, if the competition becomes a farce, then my Pu family will really be a laughing stock." Pu Linggong continued.

"That's no way, since she can come up with a plan to escape, then she is determined not to accept the result of the competition, aren't you afraid of forcing her to death?" Pu Mu asked with a sad face.

"Isn't it because the previous head of the family and your elders were able to elect me because I put the interests of the family more seriously than myself? I am just this one daughter, of course, I don't want her to be hurt in any way, but compared to the rise and fall of the family, what is a person's sacrifice? I don't want my family to be ruined in my hands, so let's follow her plan and plan at the last minute, and she will not be able to refuse at that time. Pu Linggong thought for a while with a sad face and replied.

"Is that really good? I grew up watching Zitong, just like his grandfather, I know Zitong's temperament, even if she is forced to marry the decisive Wu Zhuangyuan in the end, she will turn against us in the future, and I really can't tell what the Pu family will become like when the time comes. Pu Mu shook his head.

"Don't be kind to women, if there is a shortcut, that is, Pu Zitong really dominates the martial arts competition, in that case, the competition will not only not become a farce, but the second elder and others will also agree with Pu Zitong's family status, which is easy to do." Pu Linggong replied helplessly.

"The second elders, the older they get, the more pedantic they become, and the older they get, the more powerful they become, they actually dare to force you to make this agreement to recruit relatives in martial arts, they are only focused on their own interests, and there is nothing good." Pu Mu scolded angrily.

"The Great Elder is angry, the Second Elder is not so bad, but the Second Elder's family has a once-in-a-century soul master wizard, that is, his grandson, he naturally wants to fight for his grandson for the position of the head of the family, not to mention that Pu Zitong is a daughter, in the eyes of their old traditions, it is difficult for a woman to be a heavy responsibility, people, it is normal to be a little selfish." Pu Linggong understands very well.

"I admit that his grandson is indeed a genius, but to become the head of the family, he must not only have a strong soul master strength, but also have a benevolent heart, just like the head of the family, if his grandson becomes the head of the family, that kind of selfish energy can make our Pu family decay." Pu Mu was still very angry.

"That's why I just thought about picking a good family for Zitong, after the competition to recruit relatives, I still have to test the virtue of the person who was chosen, and those who are not virtuous don't want to sneak into the door of our Pu family, it's a big deal to find a reason to send it away, and those big families, they still want to take the opportunity to annex my Pu family, is it a fool to be my Pu Linggong? Hum! Pu Linggong explained.

"What kind of person does the head of the family want to choose to inherit the Pu family?" Pu Mu was puzzled.

"I have both ability and political integrity, and after the inheritance, Zitong is also in charge of the Pu family, and the chosen person is just a bridge to our Pu family's inheritance soul skills, and will not let him know other secrets of our Pu family, I have already considered this, once I have a grandson who can be the head of the Pu family in my lifetime, then Zitong's generation will be regarded as a benign transition." Pu Linggong explained.

"It's still the head of the family who has thought it through, but now there is that kid named Zhang Su, and the matter of him and Zitong's fake couple ......," Pu Mu asked.

"Don't get in the way, if Zitong really needs Zhang Su as a shield to complete a higher level of strength, then the hope of winning when recruiting relatives will increase, if Zitong wins the final victory, then the second elder will also shut up, of course, if Zhang Su kid has the strength to win the championship, and finally fake the show, maybe Pu Zitong will be better accepted, this can be regarded as a solution." Pu Linggong replied.

"Aren't you afraid of that suspicion? Aren't you afraid that he is someone sent by the Nanguo family? Pu Mu questioned.

"I've already investigated him, a little soul master who became a monk halfway, more than ten months ago looking for a job to find a soul hunting company, and met Zitong during the newcomer training period, Zitong should have concluded a soul contract with him at that time, and the two sides also became a fake couple at that time, his foundation is very clean, there is no shadow of all forces, so Zitong will choose him, this kind of person with a clean foundation is also what I expect, once he breeds evil thoughts, then I will abolish him with my own hands." Pu Linggong continued to explain.

"I see, haha, now that kid and little girl still think we don't know." Pu Mu understood what Pu Linggong meant, and said with a smile.

Pu Linggong took out his mobile phone from his arms and opened several recordings in the mobile phone, and the recordings rang, and a conversation between the two people sounded inside.

The man said: "Okay, okay, I can't take care of your family's affairs, I'm your employee, take the money to do things, and you haven't seen you for the past few months, but you have paid my card on time, yes, yes." ”

The woman said: "Hmph, it's embarrassing to say that you haven't worked for four months, but this time is quite calm, there are a few challengers who are not strong and have been sent by me, and some people are going to Gu Yueming to challenge, you are just a second child, who rarely asks you to challenge." ”

The man said: "Since you agree, then let's hunt souls together, we are originally a fake couple, trading relationships, knowing each other's roots, and having a soul contract with each other, so that there will be no credit crisis, I think it's a good combination." ”

Obviously, this is a fragment of the conversation between Zhang Su and Pu Zitong after Pu Linggong left Pu Zitong's rental house, that is to say, Pu Zitong's mobile phone has been installed with a bugging device by his father, and all voice communication made by Pu Zitong through his mobile phone will be received by Pu Linggong, and Zhang Su and Pu Zitong don't know about this at all.

Pu Mu listened to the conversation between Zhang Su and Pu Zitong in the recording, and scolded with a smile: "These two little rabbit cubs! ”

Of course, Zhang Su didn't know that he and Pu Zitong's fake couple plan had already been seen through by Pu Linggong and Pu Mu, he hung up Pu Zitong's phone and ran the Yuan Tianqi Soul Gong in the room to replenish the soul power, and it took a long time to replenish the soul power in the soul again, and when the soul power was replenished, Zhang Su first replaced the dried sheets and quilt covers with new ones, and then put on his own cleaned clothes, changed the sportswear borrowed from Qu Zhiru's house, and hung them on the drying rack after washing them by the way.

After doing this, Zhang Su fed some of his soul power to the Wraith Seed and the Tudun Furnace Horcrux, so that it could grow quickly as a backup means.

After doing everything that should be done, Zhang Su sat back on his bed again, his soul was out of his body, while controlling the soul with his spiritual sense to perform the Yuan Tian Snake Man Soul Technique, while comparing it with the information about the Yuan Tian Snake Man Soul Technique in the spiritual sense, I wanted to see what flaws I still had, after a full day of soul hunting practice, Zhang Su did find a lot of problems with soul changes, and some forms could not be changed as they wanted, such as the Water Moon Spirit Hidden Snake, it would take a long time for Zhang Su to change, caused Zhang Su to almost be bitten off by the bird dragon ghost; Some of the forms are not perfect, such as the Qinglang Jun Snake, which cannot exert its agility after the change, causing Zhang Su's soul to be caught and injured.

Zhang Su kept recalling his changed form, and always felt that his changes were different from those introduced by the Yuantian Snake Man Soul Technique, a bit like a lost taste, and he couldn't get the essentials, so Zhang Su took out the Yuantian Soul Jade and used his spiritual sense to transmit the voice to the Yuantian Soul Jade: "Is Master Nuwa here?" ”

"All the time." Nuwa's remnant soul replied, and then the remnant soul phantom floated out of the soul jade, wearing clothes like green smoke and tulle, revealing a slender figure on the wall opposite Zhang Su's bed.

"Master, I have a feeling that after I cultivated according to the content of the Source Heaven Snake Man Soul Technique, the soul transformation is always in vain, and the strength is only six or seven percent of it, I don't know what I did wrong, is it because my soul power is not strong enough?" Zhang Su asked.

"Even if you are a junior soul master, you can cultivate to ten percent in terms of soul skill transformation alone, and the strength of soul power is only reflected in the power of soul skills, so the transformation part is not directly related to soul power." Nuwa's remnant soul explained.

"Then why am I always deformed?" Zhang was puzzled.

"You, you're in love." Nuwa's remnant soul prompted.
