Ye Jiushang did not know what they had in mind. He raised his vigilance and protected Xue Fanxin behind him.
The leader of the armored guards gestured for his men to stop, then walked towards Ye Jiushang and Xue Fanxin. He first cupped his hands and bowed to them briefly, using his actions to express that he had no ill will.
Ye Jiushang lowered his guard a little. However, he was still wary.
Ghost Street was not an ordinary place. If he really caused any trouble here, even he, the Lord of Nine Cloud Palace, would find it difficult. After all, the owner of Ghost Street was even more unfathomable than him.
Fortunately, the other party did not bore any ill will. Otherwise, if they fought with the Ghost Martial Guards of Ghost Street, even if they won, the trouble later would be difficult to resolve.
He did not want to face Ghost Street.
“This is the 200,000 ghost coins that belong to you. Please take it.” The leader of the Ghost Martial Guards handed over a banknote that looked like a netherworld coin.
Ye Jiushang took the 200,000 ghost coins without hesitation and revealed a mysterious smile. He said nothing, not even a word of gratitude, and handed the banknote to the person beside him without even looking at it.
Xue Fanxin, this money-grubber, was overjoyed. She smiled and took the 200,000 ghost coins. First, she confirmed the authenticity of the note. She already understood the purpose of Ye Jiushang’s last sentence at the counter. It turned out that he wanted the man to obediently spit out the 200,000 ghost coins back.
No one should cheat a certain lord. Otherwise, they would be cheated to death by him.
“Thank you, Big Brother. Thank you so much.” Xue Fanxin smiled especially brightly. The haze in her heart was swept away, and her words became sweeter.
However, the leader of the Ghost Martial Guards did not react. After doing his job, he turned around and left, looking cold and detached.
Xue Fanxin was in a good mood and could not be bothered with these trifles. After the Ghost Martial Guards left, she took out the ghost coin note and looked at it carefully. “Ah Jiu, do you think this note is fake?”
“No,” Ye Jiushang replied, his tone certain. His gaze was still on the departing Ghost Martial Guards, and his eyes were filled with deep thought.
When he was at the exchange counter previously, he was not sure if he could get back the 200,000 ghost coins. He casually said something to probe the depths of Ghost Street. The outcome was beyond his expectations.
He guessed that the higher-ups would return the 200,000 coins, but he had not expected them to be so efficient. They had finished everything in less than an hour.
To be able to do such a small thing so well, it was no wonder that Ghost Street could survive in the various regions.
“Ah Jiu, what are you thinking about? You’re so engrossed in your thoughts.” Xue Fanxin put away the money.
Ye Jiushang retracted his thoughts and smiled gently. “It’s nothing. You have 200,000 more ghost coins on you. Although you might not be able to buy anything good, you can eat quite a few good things. Let’s go, I’ll take you to try the delicious food here.”
“Sure, sure! Quickly take me there.”
“Look at how greedy you are.”
“I’m greedy. Bite me.” Xue Fanxin made a face at Ye Jiushang and urged, “Quickly take me to eat delicious food.”
She had always been a foodie. Even if she did not buy any treasures, she had to eat delicious food.
