Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World by Ming Yu
chapter-2179

Three days passed in a blink of an eye. On the morning of the third day, Zhao Hai arrived in front of the Ghost Child Gang’s gate. This was the meeting place for the caravan escort.

When Zhao Hai arrived, there was already someone there. It was a fat person with a round face and a wide smile. He didn’t look like a hardworking person, but he came earlier than Zhao Hai.

Zhao Hai bowed to the fatty and said, “I have seen Senior Brother. Is Senior Brother also here for the escort mission?”

The fatty looked at Zhao Hai and quickly replied, “Junior Brother is too polite. I’m indeed here for the escort mission. How about Junior Brother? Are you here for the escort mission as well?”

Zhao Hai smiled and said, “This Junior Brother is here for the escort mission. I didn’t expect Senior Brother to be so early. I still don’t know when we will leave.”

The fatty nodded, “It’s still early. I didn’t have anything else to do, so I went out for a stroll. By the way, do you know who else will go with us this time?”

Zhao Hai shook his head and said, “I don’t know. I just joined the Ghost Child Gang. I don’t understand much about the members of the Ghost Child Gang. I apologize to Senior Brother.”

When the fatty heard Zhao Hai, he couldn’t help but stare. Then his eyes shone as he looked at Zhao Hai, “So Junior Brother is the famous Mission King. I was impolite.”

Zhao Hai smiled bitterly and said, “Senior Brother over praises me. This Junior Brother doesn’t deserve that title. I just needed to stimulate my cultivation at that time, so I took on a lot of missions. I’m not addicted to taking missions.”

The fatty laughed when he heard this, “So Junior Brother actually dislikes this title. I apologize for offending you.”

Zhao Hai shook his head, “Please don’t. But I really am not addicted to missions.”

The fatty laughed once more. At this time, eight people arrived together. These eight wore long black robes and their faces were covered. What’s strange about them was that their robes were painted with the character for ‘horse’.

When the fatty saw the group of eight, his complexion couldn’t help but change. He muttered, “The Eight Steeds? How is that possible? What mission are we taking?”

Zhao Hai looked at the fatty and asked, “Senior Brother, do you know them?”

The fatty looked at Zhao Hai and smiled bitterly, “Those eight are very famous in the Ghost Child Gang. They’re called the Eight Steeds. They always act together. Moreover, they have a ferocious combination attack. They’re aces of the gang. Normally, they won’t take missions.”

Zhao Hai stared, then his complexion changed, “Isn’t this just a normal escort mission? Is the information given by the sect lacking?”

The fatty shook his head and said, “Stop talking. We can only call it our bad luck. Something will happen this time. I’m sure of it.”

Zhao Hai no longer made a noise. At this time, the group of eight arrived in front of the two. The group didn’t make any noise and just stood there. They evoked a suffocating feeling in the surroundings.

While Zhao Hai was staying quiet, a huge carriage arrived at the Ghost Child Gang’s gate. The carriage carried a lot of goods. It looked heavy at first glance.

Sitting in the driver’s position was an ordinary-looking person. Although he had qi, he wasn’t strong. He was like an ordinary cultivator. However, Zhao Hai knows that this person’s strength wasn’t simple. This was because Zhao Hai’s instincts were warning him about this person.

The driver looked at Zhao Hai and the others and said, “Everyone, follow me.” After he said that, he urged the carriage to move forward.

Although Zhao Hai doesn’t know this person’s status, he noticed that the Eight Steeds didn’t have any opinions. Therefore, he just followed behind them without saying anything.

Zhao Hai wanted to ask the fatty about the status of the driver. But after looking at the fatty’s worried look, Zhao Hai didn’t continue.

Ghost Child City wasn’t very big. Before long, Zhao Hai and the others left the city. After arriving outside the city, Zhao Hai immediately felt that the driver and the Eight Steeds were becoming anxious. Zhao Hai couldn’t help but be curious. He became aware that the mission wasn’t as simple as he thought.

At this time, the fatty arrived beside Zhao Hai and said, “It looks like the mission isn’t going to be easy. Even Ling Feng moved. Did you see the carriage being loaded with a lot of things?”

Zhao Hai looked at the fatty and said, “Senior Brother, that is what I don’t understand. Don’t we have spatial equipment? Why use a carriage to deliver goods?”

The fatty smiled and said, “You don’t know, this is the famous Soulseeker Carriage of our Ghost Child Gang. The space inside the carriage is much larger than what it seems outside. Moreover, the carriage has a soulseeker function. If it was stolen, the gang would know its position and trace it immediately. Most importantly, although the carriage is a spatial equipment, it has additional functions. If one doesn’t use a special method to open the door, the carriage will explode. The gang spent a lot of resources to create it.”

Zhao Hai nodded. Those with wealth would spot wealth at a glance. Although the carriage looked very ordinary, the refining technique used to make it couldn’t be hidden. If it was truly like the fatty said, the underground world’s refining technique was very powerful.

The fatty looked at Zhao Hai and said, “Junior Brother, there’s no need to feel strange. Although the Ghost Child Gang isn’t a great sect, don’t forget that behind us is a great sect. Only by standing beside a sect can our Ghost Child Gang continue to be stronger than other gangs.”

Zhao Hai nodded, then he opened his mouth and said, “Senior Brother, I can see that you respect the Senior Brother driving the carriage. Do you know him?”

The fatty smiled and said, “I forgot that Junior Brother just entered the gang. The person driving the carriage is Ling Feng. Several years ago, he’s a genius who rose into prominence a few years ago. He’s known as a god of slaughter. Nobody can count how many cultivators fell into his hands. Not a lot of people outside know about Senior Brother Feng. This time, the Gang Leader actually sent Senior Brother Feng out. It seems like the goods are very important.” Speaking of this, a hint of greed flashed across the fatty’s eyes. However, it disappeared in an instant. Nevertheless, it was noticed by Zhao Hai.

Zhao Hai has seen all kinds of people. If it was really what the fatty said, Ling Feng’s status in the gang shouldn’t be low. But when the fatty talked about Ling Feng, he didn’t have any respect in his tone. Moreover, there was greed in his eyes as he looked at the carriage. This caused Zhao Hai to be suspicious.

Although Ghost Cultivators didn’t have any sentiment towards each other, they should at least understand that their background was their pillar. If their sect or gang was destroyed, they were also finished. Therefore, they would have to cherish their backing.

The Ghost Child Gang might not be a great sect, gangs and sects were practically the same. The people of the Ghost Child Gang were protective of the Gang’s prestige.

The fatty’s response was very unusual. Zhao Hai didn’t show his suspicion on his face. He continued to chat with the fatty.

The morning passed uneventfully. At noon, the group had lunch at a shop they frequented. Then they went on their way. Like in the morning, nothing happened in the afternoon, everything seemed to be normal.

When evening came, the group rested in an inn. During dinner, Zhao Hai began to socialize with the Eight Steeds as well as Ling Feng. With their status, if Zhao Hai could get close to them, it would be good for his development in the Ghost Child Gang.

The fatty looked at Zhao Hai pouring wine and toasting the Eight Steeds and Ling Feng. He couldn’t help but laugh deep inside. The Eight Steeds and Ling Feng held high statuses in the gang. With Zhao Hai’s identity, even if he had the qualification to flatter them, he shouldn’t be as obvious as he is now.

Ling Feng and the others were also frowning at Zhao Hai’s actions. Ling Feng didn’t know much about Zhao Hai. He was thinking about what kind of person Zhao Hai was for Zhong Busan to value him. But he didn’t expect to see Zhao Hai being such a flatterer. He couldn’t help but be disappointed.

Because of his mood, Ling Feng only drank one cup of wine before returning to his room.

The Eight Steeds weren’t social people either. So, after eating, they immediately stood up and returned to their rooms. Zhao Hai’s face showed a disappointed expression when they left. The fatty looked at Zhao Hai and laughed, “Brother, don’t be disappointed. They’re people we couldn’t get in contact with. Come, let’s eat something and then go back and rest.”

Zhao Hai didn’t know which food to eat, so he ate a little bit of something. Then he turned to the fatty and said, “Senior Brother, I’ll go to Senior Brother Ling to ask for advice. I’m sorry.”

The fatty looked at Zhao Hai and couldn’t help but smile, “Alright, go. But don’t be hopeful. Senior Brother Ling’s status in the gang isn’t low. We don’t normally see him.”

Zhao Hai nodded and then stood up. He cupped his fist towards the fatty and then walked away. As he looked at Zhao Hai, the fatty’s eyes flashed a disdained expression. In his opinion, people like Zhao Hai who focus on socializing with others wouldn’t go far.

The matter of Zhao Hai joining the Ghost Child Gang has spread throughout Ghost Child City. This caused the fatty to be interested in Zhao Hai. But when he saw Zhao Hai’s appearance today, he was disappointed. He continued eating his food. But at the same time, other things were going through his head.
