Chapter 236: Shen Liang
Looking at the Ghost Wielder who had just joined Headquarters not long ago beside him, Guo Fan’s face was ugly, just like his family had died. He really didn’t want to invite trouble because of this newcomer’s words.
Being eroded by a Fierce Ghost leading to abnormal mental state is very normal for a Ghost Wielder,
but one must know their place.
Sometimes,
to satisfy one’s cheap mouth, the price to pay might be one’s life.
Because Guo Fan knew Jiang Shan’s personality and terror, he didn’t give a good look to the newcomer beside him who had just joined Headquarters and didn’t even understand Supernatural matters much.
Next,
Guo Fan scolded and cursed at the two Ghost Wielders beside him.
One must know that even as Captain, Headquarters would at most send a few staff to be in charge of receiving, but now, Headquarters had sent a total of three Ghost Wielders and seven related personnel to welcome Jiang Shan, which was enough to show Headquarters’ level of importance toward him.
In this situation, they still dared to talk nonsense?
Truly lighting a lamp in the toilet—seeking death.
As the airplane slowly landed, the plane door opened.
Jiang Shan prepared to take his suitcase off the plane.
At the same time, near the cabin, several vehicles quickly approached. There were Headquarters staff, police personnel in charge of order, and Ghost Wielders specifically in charge of receiving Jiang Shan.
There didn’t seem to be many people at the airport, but it was loose on the outside and tight on the inside, because the domestic top batch of Ghost Wielders had already gathered here in secret.
Having packed his things, Jiang Shan now carried his suitcase and walked out from first class.
As soon as Jiang Shan got off the plane, he saw several people coming up nearby. He didn’t recognize the man walking in the lead position, but among the three Ghost Wielders following behind the man, there was indeed one familiar person.
Guo Fan who had been clamoring back in Dachang City.
Because Jiang Shan found this type of person quite nauseating, during the Starving Ghost Incident, he had made Guo Fan suffer quite a bit, helping him correct his cheap mouth habit.
“Hello Minister Jiang, I am Shen Liang, here specifically to welcome you. You can hand the suitcase to our staff, and I will arrange the rest of the itinerary for you.”
Shen Liang walked over with an extremely enthusiastic face, bowing and reaching out.
“Shen Liang?”
Glancing at the man with a full face of smiles in front of him, Jiang Shan didn’t speak, but saw his hand reaching out to take the suitcase, so he slowly opened his mouth:
“There are five ghosts in this box. If there’s a problem, are you sure you few people can detain them?”
“If there’s something, just say it directly. I don’t need anyone to pick me up. You might as well do some meaningful work with this time. If there’s nothing, go back. I don’t like so many people staying by my side.”
As the words fell,
The smile on Shen Liang’s face stiffened. Having seen Jiang Shan’s file, he knew Jiang Shan’s personality was cold, even cold to the point of being impersonal.
But this operation of slapping a smiling face was still so unexpected that he was at a loss for a moment.
“Minister Jiang.”
Shen Liang, who quickly adjusted, had just opened his mouth when he was interrupted by a sudden voice:
“Captain Shen, do we really need to pick up this kind of person? He’s really too pretentious. I don’t know what makes you all afraid of him. I’m also a Ghost Wielder, why didn’t I see Headquarters come pick me up?”
“Giving him face but he doesn’t want it. I think it’s because we’ve smiled too much at him. Five ghosts? Heh, really daring to brag. I still don’t understand why Headquarters wants me to come pick up this kind of person. What a waste of time. Forget it, I’m heading back first.” The one speaking was the Ghost Wielder who had just been scolded by Guo Fan.
He was called Li Shang, a student who hadn’t even graduated from vocational college.
Because half a month ago, a Supernatural Event broke out in the university cafeteria, he had accidentally become a Ghost Wielder.
Having been scolded repeatedly by Guo Fan, and already very unhappy about coming to pick up another Ghost Wielder, after hearing Jiang Shan’s words, he couldn’t help but speak up.
It wasn’t that Li Shang’s sore spot was poked by Jiang Shan’s words.
Rather, for this Jiang Shan who was even younger than him and looked no different from those ordinary people he could casually kill, Headquarters actually valued him so much, even making himself a foil to him.
Why?
Precisely because of this reason, plus Li Shang had become a Ghost Wielder less than a month ago and hadn’t fully integrated into the Supernatural Circle yet, this led him to boldly retort without any scruples.
“?”
“Damn, what a cheap mouth, damn thing!”
Hearing Li Shang’s words, Shen Liang and Guo Fan’s faces instantly darkened.
Only to see the two exchanging a grave look with serious eyes, their minds had already thought of what Jiang Shan might do next.
Immediately looking at Li Shang who had turned to leave, Guo Fan unhesitatingly kicked him.
Normally, offending one Ghost Wielder for another is very stupid behavior.
After all, risking one’s life for a bit of face is completely unrealistic for “cherishing life” Ghost Wielders, such idiot behavior.
This World is not a Cultivation World.
The price they pay to control power is their own lives.
Pretending to be cool and slapping faces?
Standing up for others?
One must have life left to do that.
But the reason Guo Fan kicked Li Shang was completely to show his stance to Jiang Shan.
He knew seven or eight parts about the Circle of Friends being wiped out overnight back then:
The Circle of Friends that had dominated Dajing City for years and called the wind and rain, whether the Ghost Wielders inside or the high-level officials, they along with their families were nearly “exterminated” by Jiang Shan!
Knowing all this, Guo Fan was really afraid of being implicated by Li Shang. Rather than being killed along with him by Jiang Shan, better to act quickly himself and confirm his stance.
In his eyes,
Jiang Shan was more terrifying than ghosts.
“Li Shang, what are you saying? Hurry over and apologize to the Minister!”
At the same time,
Shen Liang observed Jiang Shan’s expression. Seeing no emotion at all, he looked at Jiang Shan and explained:
“Minister Jiang, this person in charge just finished training and joined Headquarters. He doesn’t know many things yet. I hope you can be magnanimous. I apologize to you on his behalf first.”
Looking at the young man pinned to the ground by Guo Fan, yelling loudly, and Shen Liang in front of him with a face full of apology and tension.
“What a hassle. Once there are too many people, there are always some blind ones seeking a sense of presence.”
Jiang Shan sighed inwardly. What he found most nauseating was this type of people who stirred up trouble for nothing.
Even though he was indeed in a high position now, what he said and did was completely from the heart, without any idea of bullying others with power.
The words he said to Shen Liang earlier were also completely his straightforward usual style.
How did it become pretentious in others’ mouths?
Jiang Shan didn’t quite understand and didn’t want to. Looking at the absurd scene in front of him, he spoke in a calm tone:
“Don’t come to me if there’s nothing in the future. I don’t need any special treatment. The airport still needs to operate. I have things to do. Everyone leave, don’t embarrass yourselves here.”
