"No problem, but my Natal Magic Treasure was destroyed. I'm afraid I won't be of much help to Fellow Daoist Shi. Otherwise, there'd be no need for you to act—I could capture that wisp of spirit flame by myself and hand it over to you."
Ghost Granny wasn't lying. With her Natal Magic Treasure destroyed, her cultivation had fallen by a realm, and her strength was far weaker than before. She truly couldn't help Shi Yue much.
"I have two magic treasures here. Take them and use them. They should be enough to protect you." Shi Yue took out two Fifth-Grade Magic Treasures and handed them to Ghost Granny.
Ghost Granny thanked him and put the treasures away.
Shi Yue continued, "What are your plans from here? Return to the Ziwei Star Domain? Take back your position as leader of the Heavenly Ghost Cult?"
Ghost Granny looked surprised and fell into thought.
What did Shi Yue mean by that? Given his status and standing, there was no need for him to show so much concern for her. And it was even less likely that he was doing it for her granddaughter. She had previously asked Liu Ruowei to serve Shi Yue as a maid, but he had refused.
If he didn't want Liu Ruowei, a beauty as lovely as a flower and as delicate as jade, then Ghost Granny had even less to offer him.
Ghost Granny suddenly recalled something. There were rumors that Shi Yue and his Senior Disciple Brother were at odds. Could Shi Yue be trying to recruit a group of high-ranking cultivators as subordinates? It was entirely possible.
"Alas, I can't return to the Heavenly Ghost Cult. I'm an old woman with no one to rely on. How could I be a match for that traitor?
