"He—"
"Alas."
Seeing Ji Yuan ask about this matter again, Ghost Envoy could no longer keep it hidden. But the moment he opened his mouth, he let out a long sigh—

"I don't know whether to call him lucky or unlucky."

Ji Yuan remained silent.
"But fortunately, I possess a kind heart."
Ghost Envoy smiled. "I am kind-hearted. I cannot bear to see good people suffer forever, so I rescued Qiu Qianhai."
"Where is he now?"
Ji Yuan stepped forward,
