Chapter 282: The Lord of Fate and the Young Fate Giver

If this plan is really implemented, just preventing living beings from approaching is certainly not enough.

Chu Jiang read the internal information and found that there were some special Ghost Masters in the institute. They can artificially create a sealed zone, trapping the opponent within it even if the ghost has the ability to teleport.

Of course, this doesn’t work for all ghosts. It mainly depends on the specific abilities of the Ghost Masters and the level of terror the lingering ghost possesses.

After temporarily ending the call with the operator, Chu Jiang dialed Zhou Hongyu’s number.

However, there was no answer from the other side, only a short message, "They have moved to the other side of Green Cloud Mountain, not far away. I’ll continue to keep an eye on them."

Seeing this, Chu Jiang put down his phone and observed the direction of Green Cloud Mountain. The ghostly mist was still present, but there were no sounds coming from it.

Those ghosts seemed to have calmed down for the time being, showing no signs of immediately breaking out.

So Chu Jiang looked at the woman Ghost Master who had been silently standing next to him since they came out.

"Hello, I’m Chu Jiang, what should I call you?"

"Jing Ruoxue, you can call me Jing Ruoxue." Jing Ruoxue said, taking off her hat.

Chu Jiang thought she was about to reveal her true face, but to his surprise, she was wearing a white mask under the hat…

Hold on, something wasn’t right. Upon closer inspection, Chu Jiang realized that the mask seemed to be growing from her face, giving it an eerie look.

Chu Jiang didn’t ask too much about it, thinking it must be caused by the ghost inhabiting her body.

He simply asked, "Are you a friend of Xu Shengtian’s? What did he mean by ‘marriage snatch’?"

Normally, in that situation, Xu Shengtian should be described as a ‘rescuer’ rather than using words with special meanings.

Just as he finished speaking, his phone suddenly rang. Chu Jiang checked and saw it was Chen Keai calling. What time was it? Why was she calling so late?

Due to the ongoing supernatural events, Chu Jiang was going to ignore the call.

However, he hesitated for a moment before picking it up, saying, "Hello?"

"Hello, boss, after much hesitation, I have decided to say a few words to you before you leave," Chen Keai’s voice sounded a bit timid.

"I don’t know if your fiancée is with you, but you should make sure she doesn’t misunderstand; I’m just worried that I won’t have a chance to say these things in the future."

Chu Jiang frowned, "What are you saying? I might be away for a few days, but why are you making it sound like I won’t be coming back?"

"And I don’t have a fiancée, who are you talking about?"

"Huh?" Chen Keai was confused. After being conflicted for so long, why was her boss talking differently from Xu Shengtian and the supposed fiancée?

"Boss, aren’t you… going back to inherit a billion-dollar fortune? Xu Shengtian also said that after you get married, you might never come back."

"I’ll deal with that guy later. Right now, I have things to attend to, so if you have something to say to me, let’s discuss it tomorrow at work. Go to sleep."

As Chen Keai was still saying "Huh? Huh?", Chu Jiang hung up the phone.

Then he looked at Jing Ruoxue across, "What’s going on?"

Jing Ruoxue apologized to Chu Jiang first, "I’m sorry, I lied to your company people earlier, saying that I’m your fiancée."

"Mainly, I didn’t want to tell them about the Chu heritage and anything related to the Great Executioner and the Young Fate Giver."

"Of course, if you are willing, it’s also possible. There has always been a tradition of marriage alliance between our families, but it depends on the willingness of the current heir."

Chu Jiang’s expression became stern, "Are you the Young Fate Giver of this generation?"

Jing Ruoxue nodded.

"Then the Great Fate Giver you mentioned…"

"It’s you, Chu’s Jiang of this generation," Jing Ruoxue said with certainty.

Chu Jiang took a deep breath, he didn’t expect to meet someone related to the Young Fate Giver so soon.

He had originally planned to find a time to visit the Ghost Master family in the Chu Kingdom.

"First of all, I don’t really know about my own background. I was abandoned by my biological parents when I was young and grew up in an ordinary family."

Upon hearing Chu Jiang’s words, Jing Ruoxue was a bit shocked, "Why would it be like this… Although the Chu family cut off contact with us more than a hundred years ago, but it’s not like they would give the current heir to someone else to raise, right?"

"I also really want to know the answer to this question," Chu Jiang said, looking at the Green Cloud Mountain.

"We can discuss the details later when we go back. Right now, I just want to ask, are you here to find me? What is your purpose? Do you truly want to marry me?"

Jing Ruoxue nodded and shook her head, "I am the representative of the Young Fate Giver inheritance."

"After you released the video showcasing the power of Chu’s Jiang to the whole world, our Jing family paid great attention to it and eagerly hoped to reconnect with the current Chu family."

"However, due to more than a hundred years of no communication, the current head of our Jing family and the current head of your Chu family are complete strangers."

"In addition, since you have not actively contacted us and only sent a video with a vague message, we have decided that the current heir should personally visit you in order to show more sincerity."

When Jing Ruoxue spoke up to this point, she paused for a moment. "But because I was not determined, it was only a few days ago that I successfully integrated the ancestral ghost into my own body, which is why it took me until today to come find you."

"As for the marriage alliance, it is just a means, not the goal."

"Chu Jiang and the Jing family have a long history of cooperation. The purpose of my visit is to hope that the Young Fate Giver and the Great Death can revive this relationship. Our two families can unite again to deal with the increasingly serious global supernatural resurgence."

Chu Jiang nodded thoughtfully, "Understood."

"Then how did you know I was here? Did you follow Xu Shengtian?"

"No, the [Chu’s Jiang] inside you and the [Chu Mei] inside me are connected. While you control fortune and misfortune, I control life and death. One is fate, the other is destiny."

"When you utilize the power of Chu’s Jiang, as long as we are not too far apart, I can sense your whereabouts."

"In turn, when I use the power of Chu Mei, you can also perceive my location."

Chu Jiang nodded again. When Jing Ruoxue attacked the Ghost Bride earlier, the ghost inside him did indeed react.

As for Chu Mei, this creature, it should not mean the same as the words "charm" and such that were derived in later times; instead, it means its original meaning, the charm of evil spirits like grotesque creatures and ghostly apparitions, and also the meaning of a beautiful ghost.
