"You know how to repay kindness. You're a good ghost," Hua Yunfei said. Ying Chuan truly was loyal and grateful. At their level, such qualities were already precious rarities.
"A good ghost?"
Ying Chuan shook his head with a laugh. "That depends on who I'm dealing with. To everyone else, I'm a vengeful ghost. You could also call me a bandit!"
"Now that you've joined the Dark Hall, you've stopped pretending altogether?" Hua Yunfei asked.
"In the past, whenever I robbed someone, I had to find ways to conceal my real identity, terrified I might be exposed. Now it's different. I can do it openly. The Dark Hall's name really comes in handy," Ying Chuan said.
"But enough about me. Aren't you the same? You seem no less practiced at this than I am. Where did you work before?"
"Me?" Hua Yunfei chuckled and waved a hand. "I can't compare to you. I'm just copying you, playing the fox who borrows the tiger's might."
"No." Ying Chuan shook his head and said with absolute certainty, "There's definitely more to you. My instincts tell me you're bandit material—a born bandit!"
"We should head back to the Divine Turtle Star Pass," Hua Yunfei said.
"No rush. We both need resources to cultivate. Since we're already here, shouldn't we make a few more rounds?" Ying Chuan asked, the corners of his lips curling upward.
"We've already visited all three major powers in the Divine Turtle Heavens. Where else do you plan to collect resources?" Hua Yunfei asked.
"There's a saying: little by little, a mountain grows. Even if we're done with the major powers, aren't there still the minor ones? I've had enough of being poor. I'll take a little less from those smaller powers, but I won't let a single one off."
