His previous repeated concessions were nothing more than following the task that his Master had entrusted to. But, who would have known that this person actually planned to take Doll away from him. How could he tolerate it?
"You…" When Ling Gang heard Song Dao say those words, his face turned livid. If he called this person senior apprentice like he always did, the most he would receive was simply ignorance. Who knew that he would unexpectedly not give him any face today. This Song Dao, who did he think he was? He was just an orphan that his father had adopted. If it were not for his father, this bastard would have already died in some random corner. Right now, he just wanted that ghost of his, yet what was with his reaction? No matter how much he played with the ghost, it wouldn't die. Furthermore, its strength was also comparable to those who lacked the strength to truss a chicken.
Shao Qian looked left and right. He was aware that this two people didn't get along and even their conflicts weren't shallow. As his body was that of a ghost currently, he could naturally see the demonic energy winding around Ling Gang's body. This demonic energy was not the kind that gathered after the death of somebody, but instead, the kind where the person was corrupted due to the frequent contact with ghosts. However, it was really strange that the body of arrogant Taoism school's direct descendant exuded demonic energy.
"Let's go." These words were spoken from Song Dao to Shao Qian. He simply had take a glance around before he understood the current situation. Within the three people, excluding the two of them, that were in the morgue, one of them was the S city's deputy mayor. Whenever they came across this kind of situations in the past, he would concern himself.
Song Dao felt that the situation was quite big this time, therefore he wanted to bring Doll away hastily. Who could have known that he would run into this unlucky thing. Recalling Ling Gang's prying gaze, he felt that it was difficult to keep the evil tendencies down within his heart. It didn't even check to see what kind of thing it was, and yet still dared to think about his darling. He would bide his time and wait until it was ripe before getting people to get rid of it. That would save him the worry of the possible future where he may harm his Doll.
"Who was that?" When the two of them walked out, Song Dao opened a parasol and blocked the sunlight from reaching Shao Qian. He ignored the strange looks he got from the people on the street when they saw an adult man holding up a large parasol. So long as his darling was comfortable and happy, don't mention holding up a parasol, he would even wear women's clothes in public and dance in a circle.
"He's my Master's only son." Song Dao explained as he walked. "That person with evil intentions walks on the road of dishonest practices. When Master originally disciplined him, he didn't learn. On contrary, he began studying more about those heretical sects that borrows other's luck, pilfers dead bodies and trains spirits."
Song Dao knitted his brows and hesitated for a moment before he continued, "Doll, if you ever see him, quickly leave. That person… That person likes to dally with youths, especially those innocent and simple-minded youths between the ages of fifteen to eighteen. When Master was still alive, that person had ruined a life. In the end, although Master had used money to bury the incident, he was still incapable of changing the fact that the youth had died from abuse."
Recalling the state of the youth when he died, Song Dao's eyes instantly became frosty. "When the youth died from the abuse, not only did Ling Gang not feel remorseful, he even complained that the youth was too weak and that he still had many techniques he had yet to put to good use. At that moment, towards that father and son duo, those two people, I had felt disappointed. Therefore, I settled down in S city. Before Master died, he recalled me and said that he wanted me to redeem Ling Gang. How could I have accepted? After Master died, I immediately evicted myself from my Master's home, not willing to associate him. I didn't know he had started to dally with ghosts and spirits. Was he really not scared of the consequences?"
"Everyone says that ghosts are afraid of evil too." Shao Qian laughed bitterly. "Since he dared to actually raise a hand against the ghosts, he should naturally have some sort of a backing. Otherwise, simply by the demonic energy surrounding him, he would already be beyond saving.
"Doll is right." Song Dao nodded, smiling. "I also noticed the strong demonic energy on him just now. If it wasn't for his Gang qi protecting his body, then I'm afraid he would have already been corrupted by the demonic energy around his body and changed into half-human, half-ghost.
"…I have a question I keep wanting to ask you. Doll is calling me?" Towards this word 'Doll', he had already heard it quite a few times, but simply couldn't find a chance to ask about it previously. He had to make it clear right now.
"Doll?" Song Dao eyes turned and caught sight of the car in the distant. "Haha, we reached the car. I'll help you open the door."
After that, with a fawning expression on his face, this person opened the door of the front passenger seat. And after Shao Qian went in, he shut the door and closed the parasol before climbing into the driver's seat. At one side, a man looked at Song Dao as if he were looking at someone crazy. Did this person have some kind of mental illness?
If not, then why would a adult man hold up a parasol and even open the door of the front passenger seat? Or did he really open the door for something? Thinking of this possibility, the man instantly didn't feel warm anymore. It was to the extent where cold and chilly Yin qi blew out from the side.
Just as Shao Qian fastened his seat belt, he saw a car driving in the opposite direction whiz past them, before it crashed into a telephone pole in the near distance with a loud 'bang!'. He was instantly at a loss. "That person just crashed by themselves."
"You just think too much." Song Dao rubbed Shao Qian's head and smiled. "In fact, he could be counted as lucky. If he didn't have this crash, he would have driven that car into the city's moat and perished in the afternoon. Right now, he had only broken a single limb."
"Oh." Upon seeing aw that there were already people reporting to the police and calling the ambulance, Shao Qian stopped paying attention to it. He turned around and looked at their current direction, his brows creasing. "Where are we going now? I feel like that ghost is still going to take action."
"I placed a tracking talisman on Ling Gang. Right now, we can go to the place where the incident originally happened and take a look." Song Dao laughed evilly as he spoke, "When I was younger, I was fond of playing and learnt how to draw bad luck talismans."
"You also placed those on him?" Shao Qian never expected that Song Dao would actually secretly harm others. However, this made him feel a sense of familiarity instead. It was as if in the past, there would inevitably always be a person that would make him laugh, but who was it?
"Just letting him be unfortunate for a day can already be counted as showing mercy." Song Dao curled his lips. If Ling Gang didn't have his uses, he wouldn't have let his dirty thoughts towards Doll off so lightly.
"They are about to leave." In the distance, Shao Qian saw that Ling Gang, along with the deputy mayor, was getting into the car to leave. "Is Ling Gang able to contend with that female ghost?"
"He won't die. Ling Gang is a person terrified of death. He would naturally have something prepared." After seeing how those few people had died, he still dared to lend hand. Therefore, it's clear that Ling Gang has a large handful of trump cards.
Ling Gang brought that deputy mayor and left. After waiting until ten minutes had passed, Song Dao started up the car and drove, only in the opposite direction that Ling Gang and the others had went.
"Exorcist Ling, you are fellow apprentices with Exorcist Song?" The deputy mayor driving the car, Qin Hong probed. "In the past, I had a few dealings with Exorcist Song. However, I felt that he was rather arrogant."
"Tsk, what kind of thing is he." Ling Gang spoke in disdain. "He's only a bastard that my father picked up. If it wasn't for my father teaching and nurturing him, he would have starved to death a long time ago. Now that my father is no longer here, he actually started putting on airs in front of me, not even taking a look at how big his own face is."
"It is Exorcist Song that is able to contend with Exorcist Ling's prominent talent." Qin Hong smiled as he flattered. "That kind of ungrateful person really does not deserve Exorcist Ling's attention."
"Mm." Ling Gang was very used to this kind of words. Ever since he was young, he had always looked down on Song Dao as if that person owed him thousands of debts. From small to big, don't even talk about them putting on amicable faces, these two people that lived under the same roof didn't even talk to each other that often.
But…
He thought of the ghost with a cute and lovable appearance by Song Dao's side. It had just happened that he was fed up with the few ghosts within his underground office and needed to switch to a new one. Wait until he got his hands on that ghost. He would definitely play with him carefully.
It was fortunate that Song Dao didn't know what Ling Gang was thinking at the moment. If not, he would definitely make a U-turn and throw a lightning talisman at that person immediately to make his soul scatter. The person that he didn't even dare to disturb recklessly, you think you can have him as your domestic pet?
The place where the incident had originally taken place had already been sealed off. However, as Shao Qian couldn't be seen by ordinary people, he was naturally able to walk straight in. Song Dao pasted a concealment talisman onto himself before following behind the other person. This place was the back alley of a bar. On ordinary days, there would be some people that gave out special services. When the person had died, the body had been found by those people.
