Seeing Xu Taiping agree, Ninth Madam said in satisfaction:
"Since you're being so forthright, I'll make sure to invite this person for you!"
While they spoke, Heavenly Lord Xuanbei and Daoist Fengzhu finished verifying the token's authenticity and walked over with extremely grave expressions.

Ghost King Qin Ming said somewhat helplessly:
