Realm of the Night God

Chapter 70: Fu Sect, Exorcist

As the man and the woman beside him appeared, their words proved a point—they both sensed the Yin Qi emanating from Yang Haoran.

For Yang Haoran, this wasn't surprising. After all, the Yin Qi on him couldn't be dispersed nor entirely absorbed into his body. Even an ordinary person could sense the Yin Qi on him, let alone someone with abilities.

Perhaps ordinary people didn't understand what Yin Qi was, but once they approached Yang Haoran, they would undoubtedly feel a chill from the depths of their soul.

Having Yin Qi on a living person didn't necessarily mean they belonged to the Yin Division, but anyone from the Yin Division definitely had Yin Qi.

Whether the man and the long-legged beauty beside him had realized he belonged to the Yin Division, Yang Haoran couldn't be certain for now. However, one thing was certain—they definitely sensed the Yin Qi on him.

As for the long-legged beauty beside him, Yang Haoran sensed a faint power fluctuation, a different kind from his own Yin spirit power. Yet, he couldn't determine what this power fluctuation was for now.

The man, on the other hand, seemed puzzling. He didn't sense anything extraordinary on the man; he appeared as ordinary as anyone could be, without any remarkable features.

However, Yang Haoran was clear in his mind that if he were just an ordinary person, Master Wu wouldn't have invited him here, let alone treat him warmly.

As Yang Haoran observed the long-legged beauty and the man, they were also observing him. They were quite curious about Yang Haoran.

Neither of them had confirmed Yang Haoran's identity yet, but both were certain he wasn't ordinary. They felt the dense Yin Qi on him.

If an ordinary person had such dense Yin Qi, they would be extremely weak, appearing as if they were at death's door. But Yang Haoran showed no signs of illness or impending death; instead, he seemed lively and spirited, indicating he had real abilities.

The atmosphere became somewhat subtle. Master Wu chuckled and then spoke, "Come, let me introduce you first. This young man is named Wang Yiming, from the Fu Sect."

A man and a woman—Master Wu introduced the man first. Wang Yiming, who seemed to be only in his early twenties, had an unremarkable name, but the sect he belonged to, Fu Sect, raised Yang Haoran's eyebrows slightly.

Just like the Yin Division, Fu Sect also worshipped its own deity—Yin Division revered the Death God, while Fu Sect worshipped the Fu ancestor. Yin Division had its responsibilities, and Fu Sect had its doctrines. Yin Division utilized Yin spirit power, while Fu Sect used talismans.

In the few books that Master Jiang lent Yang Haoran, there were some records about the Fu Sect. So, he knew a bit about this sect.

The long-legged beauty beside him didn't react much. Unlike Yang Haoran, she seemed to already know Wang Yiming's identity.

After introducing Wang Yiming, Master Wu looked towards the long-legged beauty, about to introduce her, but she preempted him. With a smile directed at Yang Haoran, she introduced herself, "Ma Ling, exorcist."

Ma Ling's self-introduction was straightforward, ignoring everyone else and focusing solely on introducing herself to Yang Haoran.

Wang Yiming seemed to already know Ma Ling, so he wasn't surprised by her identity as an exorcist. However, Yang Haoran was somewhat taken aback. He hadn't expected an exorcist to appear right after a Fu Sect talisman practitioner.

Yang Haoran knew about exorcists as well. They were a diverse group, unlike the organized structures of the Yin Division and Fu Sect. They had no specific deity to worship, no set of doctrines or responsibilities. Their abilities came from various sources—some were taught by masters, some inherited from family, and others self-taught through collecting various folk texts.

Apart from these, there were also those who left major sects or organizations, or were expelled, and became exorcists. Their abilities often stemmed from their previous affiliations.

Though Yang Haoran was somewhat surprised that Ma Ling became an exorcist at such a young age, he didn't show his surprise on his face. He simply smiled and nodded at Ma Ling.

Ma Ling seemed disappointed by Yang Haoran's calm reaction. She had hoped to glean something from his expression, but he maintained his smile, showing no change in expression, as if that was the only expression he had.

"Little brother, I apologize for what happened earlier. I hope you won't hold it against me."

At this moment, Master Wu shifted his gaze onto Yang Haoran. His first move was to apologize, as he wanted to extend as much goodwill as possible towards Yang Haoran.

"It's natural for Master Wu to be skeptical since he doesn't know me. You haven't done anything wrong. If I were in your shoes, I might have kicked the other person out already."

Yang Haoran said this with a smile, sounding natural, as if he genuinely would have done so if he were in Master Wu's position.

However, Master Wu was a shrewd individual. He sensed there was more to Yang Haoran's words, but he pretended not to understand, brushing it off with a hearty laugh.

Sometimes, it's enough to understand certain things. There's no need to pierce through the veil until necessary, as it might lead to awkwardness when both sides are exposed without their defenses.

"Young brother, I'm not sure how to address you. Although I'm getting old, I enjoy making friends with extraordinary individuals like yourselves. Wang Yiming and Ma Ling happen to be in the same profession as you. I believe they're eager to get to know you too."

Master Wu didn't dwell on the previous topic but instead shifted the conversation towards Yang Haoran's identity.

"I'm Yang Haoran, just someone who's picked up a few skills. Nothing too remarkable." Yang Haoran glanced at Wang Yiming and Ma Ling, smiling apologetically. "I didn't know Master Wu had invited you both. If I had known, I wouldn't have come to snatch this deal."

Naturally, Yang Haoran's words were insincere. Even if he knew others were coming to intervene, he would still seize the opportunity. Not to mention the reward Wu Family would offer afterward was enough to motivate him.

However, he couldn't express his true thoughts. Instead, he kept his demeanor low and expressed apologies to both.

At the same time, his words conveyed a message to Wu Family—that handling this matter required compensation.

Master Wu understood Yang Haoran's implied meaning. Rather than getting angry, he was pleased. Wu Family had plenty of money, so offering some to Yang Haoran in exchange for resolving their problem was inconsequential.

Upon hearing Yang Haoran's words, Wang Yiming and Ma Ling had different reactions.

Wang Yiming frowned, his thoughts unclear.

Ma Ling, on the other hand, smiled sweetly, her gaze towards Yang Haoran becoming even more curious.

"Are you also an exorcist like us? With such heavy Yin Qi on you, what skills have you learned?"

Yang Haoran hadn't revealed his background yet, which led Ma Ling to assume he was an exorcist like her. Hence, she was more curious and slightly favorable towards him.

Yang Haoran chuckled but didn't say much. This slightly annoyed Ma Ling. Her budding goodwill towards Yang Haoran disappeared in an instant.

"For a living person to have such heavy Yin Qi, regardless of your skills, your days are numbered. Since we're all exorcists here, let me advise you—deal with the Yin Qi on you as soon as possible. If it erupts after a long time, it'll be difficult to handle."

Ma Ling wasn't trying to scare Yang Haoran intentionally; she was simply reminding him based on her knowledge. Though her tone might have been uncomfortable, she genuinely meant well.

Yang Haoran thanked her with a smile but didn't say much. Wang Yiming, however, couldn't bear it and spoke up, "Since we're all here to help Master Wu with his family's troubles, I think our priority should be understanding the situation rather than discussing trivial matters."

Ma Ling looked displeased at Wang Yiming and then sniffed, as if demonstrating her defiance.

However, her attempt at intimidation was cute rather than imposing. Nevertheless, she didn't continue to disrupt the conversation but turned her gaze towards Master Wu.

"Alright, Old Master Wu, tell us about your family's situation. I'll find a solution tailored to your needs, and I won't settle for anything less. Whether they want to pay afterward is their business, but I won't accept anything less than what's due to me!"

Listening to Ma Ling, Yang Haoran understood a few things. Although Master Wu invited Wang Yiming and Ma Ling, they were unaware of what had happened in Wu Family. Additionally, Ma Ling's words revealed that Master Wu didn't invite them unconditionally to help with their family's troubles but rather required compensation, just like Yang Haoran.
