"That's right. It didn't disappear. That enormous amount of inner Qi actually doesn't know why it merged with Jiang Zai's body and became a part of him." Liu Huai Qu dropped the chess piece. "Jiang Zisheng doesn't have a dantian. That internal energy has fused with Jiang Zisheng's internal organs, turning him into a complete monster."

"But because of Jiang Zi's experiences as a child, he isn't that normal." Liu Huai Qu didn't know how to describe Jiang Zisheng, but after some thought, he finally came up with a suitable adjective: "Probably, someone who feels that life is as boring as death."

Because he had never seen light, nor had he been loved, he had always treated people like toys and had wantonly teased them. He was a person who did not even care about his own life.

Proud to the bone, and humble to the heart of the poor in the dust.

"It sounds like it's not a good thing for Rou to interact too much with him." Tang Ming thought for a moment before opening his mouth.

"If I could, I don't want them to be in contact. I believe that's what Ru Yue thought as well." Liu Huai Qu looked at Tang Ming. Tang Ming nodded his head and then casually said, "I won."

Liu Huai Qu was startled as he looked at the already lost game on the chessboard with some astonishment. He didn't care about the win or loss, only that Liu Huai Qu's low mutter made Tang Ming care.

"I thought I could beat you at last."

Tang Ming's finger moved slightly. If he did not remember wrongly, he and Liu Huai Qu had only played this game before.

However, Tang Ming did not investigate further. Instead, he held his tea, as if he had entered into the old man's life beforehand: "Let's not talk about these random matters. Alliance Head Liu, why have you called me here?"

Liu Huai Qu paused for a second, and then fell silent. "At the beginning, I really couldn't have guessed it at all."

"The Silver Moon Gu, or the annihilation of the Tang Family's castle?" Tang Ming originally had no threat as he looked at Liu Huai Qu. His entire demeanor changed as he became sharp, "Alliance Head Liu, you know too much. Who exactly are you? Or rather, where did you come from, a lone soul?"

Liu Huai Qu was not surprised by Tang Ming's attitude towards her. He had revealed a lot in front of Tang Ming, or perhaps he had never thought of hiding anything from Tang Ming.

However, Liu Huai Qu didn't think that Tang Ming would be able to guess that it would be a lone soul that was extremely close to his own identity.

Unfortunately, she had guessed wrongly. Liu HuaiQu calmly drank his tea and was not affected by Tang Ming's mood at all. "How did you guess that it was a lone soul?"

Alliance Head Liu must have forgotten something important. You once said, "All these years, I have been thinking, if a person has another person's memory, thoughts, or even emotions, will that person become another person?" Tang Ming looked at Liu Huai Qu as if he wanted to see through her skin and see through her essence: "Chief Liu does not look like a person who has walked step by step to his current status."

He looked more like someone who had been in a high position for a long time.

"So that's how it is." Liu Huai Qu smiled, within his smile, there was a hint of helplessness: "I am indeed a dead person, but I never thought that I would be able to live again. Would I be able to invite a Taoist at the beginning?"

"Is a Taoist useful to you?" Tang Ming raised his brows, "What's more, you didn't harm anyone. You managed Wu Lin well, so why should I meddle in your business?"

"It seems like we have a temporary consensus." Liu Huai Qu laughed, an inexplicable emotion could be seen in his eyes, "It's always like this in the beginning. The way you move about with your back and forth is sometimes quite a headache for others."

"Sure enough, you and I are very familiar. We used to know each other before. Or perhaps, before you possessed, no, before you died, you were very familiar with me." Tang Ming thought about it for a moment, but he still did not reveal Liu Huai Qu's identity. There were only a few people who were familiar with him and had played chess together, and they were all still alive and well.

"Why don't you want to be a lonely ghost?" Liu Huai Qu said jokingly, but Tang Ming was looking at him with a serious expression, clearly telling Liu Huai Qu that the person in front of him was completely believing his nonsense.

Liu Huai Qu: "…"

He actually believed it?

"If it's a ghost, then there's nothing strange about having this ability." Tang Ming watched as Liu Huai Qu tidied up the board and didn't have any intention of helping out.

"But, you must not be afraid at first, right?" Liu Huai Qu kept Hei Zi well before continuing to collect the white pendant. "You have to know, I am a real ghost. Which type of person would want their life?"

"What's there to be afraid of?" Tang Ming opened his mouth without a care. "Sometimes, the human heart is much scarier than ghosts."

Liu Huai Qu raised his head and thoughtfully nodded his head.

"Speaking of which, when Alliance Head Liu died, how old was he?" Tang Ming and Liu Huai Qu didn't really want to continue this heavy topic, so the two of them fell silent. But since it was Tang Ming's first time encountering a 'ghost', they couldn't help but say a few more words.

Although Liu Huai Qu felt that it was indeed strange to talk about how he didn't die, he still answered Tang Ming's question: "45."

"I think Alliance Head Liu has already had his fill of children." Tang Ming was not too surprised by Liu Huai Qu's age. After all, Liu Huai Qu had a weather-beaten look in his eyes. Tang Ming thought that the other party would be a bit older.

"No …" "I'm not married."

"Do you not want to take it, or …" Tang Ming hesitated for a moment as he looked at Liu Huai Qu. He wanted to say something, but he hesitated.

"There's nothing you can't say." Her eyes were full of holes: "The person I love has long since left, and the person who loves me is also at the ends of the world, no longer meeting each other. Even if I was to cry out in agreement and revered by tens of thousands of people, my bright and beautiful life has already been riddled with thousands of holes."

His senior brother's departure was an eternal pain for his sect.

"For a long time, I couldn't even fall asleep. I sat by the window all night long, recalling the past. Master woke me up, but I was still living like a zombie." Liu Huai Qu drank a mouthful of tea and finally felt warm. "In the end, I have become the person I hate the most."

After losing his senior brother's protection.

He had also become the appearance of his senior brother, and everyone had said that he was more and more like the person who had passed away long ago … Yes, no one dared to mention his name.

That young man in the dark, but with a bright life, was forever twenty-nine years old.

"Sorry." Tang Ming did not expect that it would cause Liu Huai Qu to feel sad.

"Nothing." Liu Huai Qu laughed in a relaxed manner. He only felt that his vision had become hazy and he repeated in a low voice, "It's nothing. It's all in the past now."
