Realm of the Night God

Yang Haoran did not want to say much, and Boss Huo did not ask further, he just smiled kindly at Yang Haoran, then turned his gaze to Xu Meijing again.

"From your looks, it seems you two are about to leave? The Underworld Envoy's gambling match has not even started yet, won't it be a pity to leave now?" Boss Huo asked with a smile.

"We have no interest in the gambling match, and we are not planning to participate, so what's there to be a pity about?" Xu Meijing asked indifferently.

Boss Huo shook his head with a smile, not agreeing with Xu Meijing's statement.

"Every year, the gambling match between the Underworld Envoys will have someone shine brightly, once unknown, but after a gambling match, they become famous, isn't that a good thing?" Boss Huo asked with a smile.

"What's so good about that?" Xu Meijing countered.

"Hehe, with your own reputation, you can more easily build your own network, which is not a small benefit for your future development." Boss Huo explained with a smile.

Xu Meijing smiled faintly, then asked, "Boss Huo, do you have any plans for this year, planning to find someone to gamble with?"

Upon hearing this, Boss Huo shook his head, revealing a wry smile on his face, saying helplessly, "I would like to, but unfortunately my strength is limited, I'm afraid I'll make a fool of myself."

"Boss Huo is joking, you are an experienced Burial Master, if you don't have the confidence, we two newcomers wouldn't dare to try." Xu Meijing replied with a faint smile.

Boss Huo laughed heartily, saying, "Newcomers don't necessarily have to be weak in strength, I can tell that both of you are capable people, in a gambling match with other Underworld Envoys, you might not necessarily lose. Why not give it a try, I'll provide you both with some reference, if you win, it's yours, if you lose, I'll share half the burden for you."

Hearing this, the smile on Xu Meijing's face became even more pronounced.

Yang Haoran remained expressionless, still wearing a smiling expression, but in his heart, he had some suspicions.

There's no such thing as a free lunch, and treasures don't just fall from the sky, abnormal benefits often have a certain purposefulness, especially in the case of the opposite sex.

In Yang Haoran's view, Boss Huo's purpose in saying these words at this time may be to gain Xu Meijing's favor, or to determine his and Xu Meijing's strength through the gambling match, or perhaps some other intentions.

He couldn't be sure exactly what the other party was up to, but based on his years of experience, the other party's actions definitely had other purposes, and it was definitely not just for their benefit.

Although he was thinking this way, Yang Haoran didn't show any vigilance or disgust on his face, he didn't even have the intention to remind Xu Meijing, because he wanted to see what decision Xu Meijing would make in this situation.

If Xu Meijing agreed to Boss Huo's proposal, he would definitely intervene to stop Xu Meijing, otherwise, if Xu Meijing was not interested in it, that would be the best, he wouldn't even need to speak up.

However, in Yang Haoran's view, Xu Meijing is not the kind of person without a brain, he believes Xu Meijing should be able to see the problem, and if Xu Meijing sees the problem but still agrees to the other party's proposal, then he might have to re-examine the relationship between Xu Meijing and Boss Huo.

The worst scenario that Yang Haoran was worried about did not happen, in the face of Boss Huo's proposal at this time, Xu Meijing smiled and shook her head in refusal.

"I appreciate Boss Huo's kindness, but we two are indeed not interested in this kind of gambling, so we don't want to waste any time on it."

Boss Huo's expression remained unchanged, the smile on his face still remained, and he did not show the slightest disappointment.

"If you don't participate in the gambling match, you can also stay and watch the gambling between other Underworld Envoys, you might even learn some experience from it."

"No, we still have some matters to attend to, so we won't linger in the underworld, we'll take our leave first."

Upon hearing this, a disappointed look appeared on Boss Huo's face, but he immediately smiled and said, "Since that's the case, I won't detain you two, if you have time in the future, I'll come visit in person."

Yang Haoran did not speak, just smiling and nodding to Boss Huo.

Xu Meijing also smiled faintly and responded, "You're always welcome."

With that, Xu Meijing gave Yang Haoran a look, and the two then turned and left.

Watching the backs of the two leaving, the expression on Boss Huo's face remained unchanged, that smiling look, it was impossible to tell what he was really thinking in his heart.

After leaving the square, the two entered a street, and at this point the two had completely disappeared from Boss Huo's sight, just as they could no longer sense Boss Huo's presence.

"This Boss Huo is not a simple character, is he?" Yang Haoran glanced at Xu Meijing and said with a smile.

Xu Meijing smiled faintly, stepping forward as she spoke.

"Indeed not a simple character, just like you, he is also a Smiling Tiger with hidden blades."

Hearing Xu Meijing say this, Yang Haoran felt a bit embarrassed, but he also felt relieved in his heart.

The embarrassment was because of Xu Meijing's description, and the relief was because Xu Meijing understood it clearly.

"He's your soulmate, how was it, do you feel like you've met someone long-lost?" Xu Meijing asked with a smile.

Yang Haoran's mouth twitched slightly, then replied with a wry smile, "No, I don't feel like I've met someone long-lost, in fact, I think it's better not to see him."

Xu Meijing smiled and then said indifferently, "The first time I met this Boss Huo, I could already tell that he is a Smiling Tiger, but since he has helped me before, I don't have any strong feelings towards him, neither liking nor disliking him."

Hearing this, Yang Haoran smiled and said, "Although I have great confidence in your ability, I still can't help but want to remind you, if possible, try to have as little contact with him as possible."

Yang Haoran's reminder made Xu Meijing's smile even more pronounced.

"What are you worried about?" Xu Meijing asked with a smile.

"This Boss Huo is prudent in his comings and goings, I'm afraid that if you have too much contact with him, he will gradually seep into you, and then I'm afraid you'll be sold out and even help count the money." Yang Haoran said.

"Isn't this considered talking behind his back?" Xu Meijing asked with a smile.

For this question from Xu Meijing, Yang Haoran didn't even think about it and just responded.

"If you want to understand it that way, that's fine, but if he really treats you as prey, I wouldn't mind killing him behind his back."

As he said this, the smile on Yang Haoran's face was as amiable as ever, and there was no sense of killing intent at all, it seemed like he was just making a little joke.

But Xu Meijing knew that Yang Haoran was not joking, after all, the two of them were no longer the ones who just met, they had a deep understanding of each other.

"You Smiling Tigers are really too dangerous, to be companions with people like you, it's like courting death, I can't even tell which of your words are true and which are false, who knows, maybe one day I'll be schemed against by you and don't even know it."

Yang Haoran laughed awkwardly and quickly explained, "Not you, don't lump me in with them, he is him and I am me, I don't know if he has any ill intentions towards you, but I definitely don't."

Xu Meijing seemed to be intrigued by Yang Haoran's words, she thought for a moment, then asked with a smile, "How can you prove it?"

Yang Haoran's smile faltered, Xu Meijing's question really stumped him.

How to prove it?

He couldn't think of a way to prove it for a moment.

If he uses the existence of the soul-refinement cauldron to prove the relationship between them, this can only prove that Xu Meijing has no intention of killing him, because if Xu Meijing wanted to kill him, she could have solved him in the cave and not let him walk out alive.

But the existence of the soul-refinement cauldron does not prove that he has no ill intentions towards Xu Meijing.

The existence of the soul-refinement cauldron, a thing that cannot be seen, the more people know about it, the more detrimental it is to himself. Except for himself, who can guarantee that Yang Haoran will not commit murder and cover it up because of the soul-refinement cauldron?

Yang Haoran knows he absolutely will not do this, but what if Xu Meijing has some thoughts about it?

After all, in his view, a person like him can hardly be considered an upright person in Xu Meijing's eyes.

To make Xu Meijing not misunderstand him, he must find a way to prove that he has no intention of harming Xu Meijing, but he couldn't find a good way to do that.

After thinking about it, Yang Haoran still just smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"I can't find a good way to prove myself, if you don't trust me, you can plant some secret techniques or something inside me, then you'll know if I'm lying to you or not."

Seeing Yang Haoran's bitter expression, Xu Meijing laughed heartily, amused by Yang Haoran's expression.

"Haha, don't worry, if I didn't trust you, I wouldn't have come this close to you. Whether you have any ill intentions towards me, I can certainly feel it, after all, we're not just meeting for the first time. As for that Boss Huo, I know what's going on, you don't need to worry."

At this point, Xu Meijing paused briefly, then looked at Yang Haoran and continued with a smile, "If one day I really get schemed against by you, I, Xu Meijing, will accept it, I won't blame anyone, I'll only blame myself for being short-sighted and trusting the wrong person."
