Chapter 4437: Long-term Seclusion Following the Ghost Lord

"Wei Zhongshan, tell me… why didn't I meet you sooner? Sigh…" Sha Mushi wore a grinning face as she slapped Xiao Fan's shoulder quite forcefully.

"Hehe… it's not too late to meet now." Xiao Fan smiled.

In reality, Sha Mushi just looked fierce on the surface. After spending some time together and getting familiar with each other, it turned out that she was actually quite easy to get along with, and she was a person of great loyalty.

"Haha… in the future, if you have any trouble in the Nether Ghost Mansion, just mention my name; nothing will be a problem!" Sha Mushi patted her chest, took a sip of fine wine, and laughed, "The Ghost Lord dotes on me the most; I can handle anything!"

"The Ghost Lord dotes on you? Have you been by the Ghost Lord's side the whole time?" Xiao Fan asked curiously.

"That's right! Besides me, the Ghost Gold Envoy, the Ghost Earth Envoy, and the Ghost Water Envoy are all there too." Sha Mushi nodded.

"Then what about the Ghost Wood Envoy?!" Xiao Fan was taken aback.

"Heh… aren't you the Ghost Wood Envoy?!" Sha Mushi retorted.

Xiao Fan: "…"

"I mean the previous Ghost Wood Envoy." Xiao Fan shook his head helplessly.

Hearing Sha Mushi's words, Xiao Fan could conclude that there must have been a previous Ghost Wood Envoy, and that person should have also been Cultivating by the Ghost Lord's side.

"That person? Dead…" Sha Mushi shook her head and sighed.

"Dead? How did they die?!" Xiao Fan was stunned.

"Something went wrong while Cultivating, and then they died." Sha Mushi spread her hands.

According to what Sha Mushi said, they were all Cultivating by the Ghost Lord's side. The previous Ghost Wood Envoy was also there, but due to an accident, the Ghost Wood Envoy perished unexpectedly.

It was also because of the Ghost Wood Envoy's death that Xiao Fan had the opportunity to become the new Ghost Wood Envoy.

"Hehe… Wei Zhongshan, you must work hard in the future and serve the Ghost Lord well. If you do well, you will have the chance to Cultivate by the Ghost Lord's side. That is a tremendous honor, you know?!"

"It can be like that?!" Xiao Fan was taken aback.

"That's right, letting you become the Ghost Wood Envoy was originally one of the assessments, you just didn't know it yourself." Sha Mushi laughed, "You must not leak this matter, you know?"

"Alright, you can rest assured." Xiao Fan nodded.

If it hadn't been for Sha Mushi's words, Xiao Fan truly wouldn't have known that he was actually undergoing a test.

And once he passed the test, he would have to go to the Ghost Lord's side to Cultivate…

From Sha Mushi's mouth, Xiao Fan learned more and more secrets…

According to Sha Mushi, the Ghost Lord was a person with an easygoing temperament, completely different from the rumors in the outside world.

This was something Xiao Fan never expected; the Ghost Lord, whom the outside world spoke of with fear, was actually a person with an easygoing personality…

Moreover, Sha Mushi admired the Ghost Lord immensely. It was no exaggeration to say that if the Ghost Lord told Sha Mushi to die, she wouldn't hesitate for a second.

"Sigh… I've forgotten how many years it's been since I left that place. Being able to come out this time is all thanks to good luck." Sha Mushi sighed.

"Luck? What kind of luck?!" Xiao Fan was taken aback.

"Because of you. I asked to come out to see you, and the Ghost Lord agreed."

"Just because of me?"

"That's right, what else? I've forgotten if it's been hundreds of thousands of years or a million years since I left that place…"

"…"

Hearing Sha Mushi's words, Xiao Fan was dumbfounded.

Good grief.

Hundreds of thousands, or even millions of years without leaving; no wonder there were no stories in the outside world about the five envoys by the Ghost Lord's side.

These guys had been in seclusion following the Ghost Lord for far too long.

But Xiao Fan was very curious, just because of him, the Ghost Lord agreed to let Sha Mushi come out?!

"Actually, I'm also puzzled. Normally, the Ghost Lord would not agree, but this time, he actually did." Sha Mushi gave a wry smile.

"Could it be…"

"Could it be what?!"

"No… it's nothing." Xiao Fan shook his head, having a guess in his heart.

The Ghost Lord sent Sha Mushi over to learn more about him, so that after Sha Mushi returned, she could report matters concerning him.

And in reality, that was indeed the Ghost Lord's intention.
