The Herbal Scents of Farm Life

Chapter 3306 - 3307: Competing with Him Over Everything

"This is really troublesome."

Wanting to go into the Ghost Palace to investigate, yet unable to enter, how can we investigate then?

"Headache."

She lowered her head and gently rubbed her forehead with her hand.

Seeing this, Sui Zimo walked over and stood by her side.

"Don’t worry, there will always be a way."

...

Inside the Ghost Palace.

Master Ming had already come to the Ghost Emperor’s side and told him everything he had found out.

Even the matter of the missing book in the Ghost Book Pavilion concerning the mutated child-death flower was relayed to the Ghost Emperor.

"There are such things happening? Books missing from the Ghost Book Pavilion?" The Ghost Emperor feigned surprise, looking at Master Ming.

He then diverted the topic to the ghost guards, clearly not wanting to discuss the mutated child-death flower matter.

"What are those ghost guards doing? They’re all useless!"

"Ghost Emperor, this matter should have nothing to do with the ghost guards, they..."

Master Ming knew the Ghost Emperor’s temperament; to him, killing a few people was nothing, but were the lives of the ghost guards not lives?

So, he opened his mouth, wanting to plead for the ghost guards.

"Big brother, since the ghost guards were careless and lost the books from the Ghost Book Pavilion, they have failed in their duties. There is no use for them in the Ghost Palace!"

Of course, the Ghost Emperor wouldn’t give him the chance to persuade him, to plead on their behalf.

He also understood his brother’s kind heart, knowing that if he spoke of killing, his brother would certainly plead.

Even if he pleaded, those people would still die, and Gui Ming would feel sorrow for a time, losing the desire to discuss the mutated child-death flower matter further.

Bloodshed is often the best ’cloth’ to cover up other matters.

Sure enough, when the Ghost Emperor insisted on dealing with the guards of the Ghost Book Pavilion, Master Ming said nothing and left.

"Heh heh."

Watching Master Ming leave, the Ghost Emperor let out a couple of cold laughs.

How could he not understand his own brother? The lives of a few ghost guards are enough to make him mourn for a while, and once these days pass, he will no longer fear Gui Ming taking his place as Ghost Emperor.

He just didn’t know that when Gui Ming left the Ghost Palace, his eyes turned sharp.

"So, it really is him."

He sympathized with those ghost guards but that didn’t mean he was a fool.

If he couldn’t understand that the Ghost Emperor was diverting the topic, then he really would be a fool, wouldn’t he?

"For the sake of a deadly flower, capturing so many infants, what exactly does he want to do?"

Grinding his teeth, he murmured to himself.

Since childhood, he knew his brother valued the throne greatly, competing and fighting with him over everything.

But he truly didn’t want the throne; it meant nothing to him.

So when the late emperor wanted to give the throne to him, he refused and recommended his brother to indulge him in his craving for the high seat.

Yet even after giving up the throne to him, he didn’t ease his mind; instead, he intensified his efforts to deal with him.

Of course, he could only yield, as he never desired power.

He only wanted to see the people of the Ghost Clan living well, without worrying about their next meal or taxes.

But now...

Considering the many infants stolen away, he initially just thought the Ghost Emperor was neglectful, not imagining worse reasons.
