Xu Qing found it unbelievable, but he nodded.
"She looks exactly the same as Nether Fairy who hated you to the core after you robbed her house."
After saying that, Xu Qing added.
"Captain, do you still have her clothes?"
The captain's expression was a little strange. It was sometimes sinister and sometimes inconceivable. Xu Qing understood all of his changes.
"The man beside her…" Xu Qing hesitated.
The captain let out a long and bitter sigh.
"That person might be… my previous life body."
Even though Wu Jianwu and Ning Yan didn't know Nether Fairy, they more or less had a guess when they heard Xu Qing's words. Hence, they each took a deep breath.
"Congratulations on your wedding!" Ning Yan hesitated and spoke softly.
"In this situation, my heart is in turmoil,
I'm baffled like a bull, my mind is in a whirl,
Yesterday, you and I argued and fought,
But today, we want to grow old together, our love sought!"
Wu Jianwu was moved, and in his mind, many stories about fate emerged. He couldn't help but be inspired to make a poem.
Xu Qing remained silent and so did the captain.
"Then if they have a child, Senior Brother Erniu, what will the child call you?" Ning Yan, unwilling to miss this opportunity, asked in a low voice.
Veins bulged on the captain's forehead.
Hearing this, Wu Jianwu temporarily put down his disgust for Ning Yan. After pondering at the side, he looked at the captain meaningfully.
"My son's dad isn't his dad, but my son's mom is his mom; you ask what my child should call me, whether it's ex-father, step father, or just father!"
Just as Wu Jianwu finished speaking, the captain punched out. Amidst the rumbling, Wu Jianwu wailed and his body landed a thousand feet away.
Ning Yan was about to escape, but the captain kicked him over. After sending him to accompany Wu Jianwu, the captain's eyes were bloodshot as he looked at the sky.
Xu Qing's gaze revealed sympathy. He knew that the captain's emotions must be extremely complicated at this moment. Hence, he patted his shoulder.
A long time later, the captain let out a mournful cry.
"What the hell is going on?!"
"Why did that Nether Fairy value my previous life body!" The captain's expression was complicated and it was difficult to describe with words.
"Eldest Senior Brother, you don't have to be sad. Actually, if Nether Fairy knew the truth, she would feel even more complicated." Xu Qing knew how to comfort people and persuaded from the side.
This sentence was indeed effective. When the captain heard this, he was stunned for a moment. After that, he recovered and gritted his teeth.
"It's fine. With that glance just now, I'm already certain that my previous life body was possessed by an artifact spirit produced among my burial items back then."
"As for which burial item it is, I'm not sure yet."
"However, it doesn't stop me from snatching it back as long as I touch it!" Madness appeared in the captain's eyes as he pulled Xu Qing along to discuss.
However, it was quite difficult to do this. Firstly, the aura emitted by Nether Fairy was clearly at the perfected Spirit Repository Realm.
This was in line with the battle report Xu Qing had read about the disappearance of Nether Fairy who was heavily injured on the battlefield.
"Her escape was deliberately made possible by the Great Elder of the Yinghuang Province to restrain the Seventh Prince. I originally thought that she was secretly restrained by the Great Elder, but from the looks of it, he really let her go."
"However, the Great Elder must have made other arrangements."
"It's a pity that this place is too far from Fenghai County. Otherwise, I could have asked him."
Xu Qing pondered and spoke.
The captain narrowed his eyes and slowly spoke.
"As for my previous life body, his body is filled with the aura of death and there are no spell fluctuations at all. This is in line with my judgment. After all, he has been dead for so long. The spirit that possessed him only occupied a shell."
"However, the physical strength of my previous life body was comparable to the perfected Spirit Repository."
The captain frowned. He was already unable to deal with his previous life body. Now, there was also Nether Fairy. This way, it was basically impossible for him to come into contact with his previous life body.
"Judging from the intimacy between Nether Fairy and Eldest Senior Brother's previous life body, your previous life body's current identity should be the number one expert of the Unending Mountain Range, Xuan Mingzi."
"I'm just a little puzzled. Why is Nether Fairy here? Why did she fall in love at first sight to such an extent?"
Xu Qing still felt that something was amiss. Hence, he looked at the captain.
"We need information about this Xuan Mingzi."
"I have information about him. Although I didn't pay attention to these small fries previously, I also gathered some along the way." As the captain spoke, he opened his storage bag and rummaged through it. Very soon, he found a jade slip that contained some information about Xuan Mingzi.
The other party had established a sect in the Unending Mountain Range called the Mystic Life[1] Sect.
This person was in closed-door cultivation in the Mystic Life Sect all year round and rarely went out. One could imagine that the place of closed-door cultivation must be heavily guarded. The risk of infiltrating was too great.
Moreover, there was only one chance. Once the other party discovered them, Xu Qing and the others' situation would be extremely dangerous.
Hence, after Xu Qing discussed with the captain, they decided that they had to use some tricks.
"Eldest Senior Brother, your previous life body and Nether Fairy's wedding…" Xu Qing fell into deep thought as a plan inexplicably appeared in his mind.
When the captain heard this, he had a bad feeling.
"Eldest Senior Brother, isn't Nether Fairy going to the Yin Yang Flower Sect's spirit pool for a month of purification? If that's the case, how about we think of a way to trap her and prevent her from getting married?"
"After that, Eldest Senior Brother, you will disguise yourself as Nether Fairy."
Just as Xu Qing said this, the captain's eyes widened. Wu Jianwu and Ning Yan had already come back. After hearing these words, they both showed expressions of excitement, especially Ning Yan, who couldn't help but grin with happiness but was also worried about getting beaten up, so he forcefully restrained himself.
