Guan Ya shook his head nervously and said tremblingly, "Hall Master, I, I am also a friend of Senior Ling Feng, so..."
"Oh, if that's the case, then you can stay too! Later, when Ling Feng comes out, you two can go together to investigate the matter of the蛊毒祸民 (gu du huo min - plague of poisonous insects harming the people)!"
Upon hearing this, Guan Ya immediately showed a look of surprise: "Yes! This junior accepts the order!"
Ling Feng was still in the hall?
When the mysterious girl heard this, she immediately turned around and asked playfully, "Hall Master, I am also Ling Feng's friend, can I stay too?"
"Heh heh, you are also Ling Feng's friend? You're not here to freeload a meal at my Witch God Hall, are you?"
Wu Jiutian no longer had his previous seriousness and even made a joke.
Ji Yunyue frowned slightly at this.
Normally, her master was always solemn and never smiled, but today...
She became even more curious about the identity of the mysterious girl.
"Hee hee, I just think it's safer to go investigate the蛊毒 (gu du - poisonous insects) matter with two witch doctors. If I go alone, I might not come back!"
The mysterious girl smiled playfully, shrewd yet not lacking in cuteness.
"Haha, alright, you stay too. However, Ling Feng might need three days to come out, so you'll have to wait!"
Upon hearing this, the mysterious girl and Guan Ya were slightly stunned!
Judging by Wu Jiutian's attitude, Ling Feng's safety was definitely not an issue.
But what exactly was Ling Feng doing that required three days to come out?
While the two were curious, the Great Elder entered with Su Xingyan and the others.
"Hey, little brother!" Lin Shuainan greeted Guan Ya as soon as he entered, completely ignoring Wu Jiutian above.
Guan Ya gasped and quickly went to cover Lin Shuainan's mouth, fearing that his words would shock the world and offend the Hall Master of the Witch God Hall.
"Big Brother, you can't be so rude. That's the Hall Master up there!"
Guan Ya quickly whispered a reminder.
The people around them were also extremely nervous.
Lin Shuainan was truly fearless. He had said earlier that he wanted to see the Hall Master of the Witch God Hall, yet he dared to speak so carelessly.
Wu Jiutian's gaze lingered on Lin Shuainan for a moment, then his pupils suddenly contracted, and the corners of his mouth curved into an imperceptible arc. He nodded slightly at Lin Shuainan.
Lin Shuainan sensed Wu Jiutian's gaze and the worry in Guan Ya's voice, and quickly put on a serious demeanor.
"Greetings, Hall Master!"
Lin Shuainan gave Wu Jiutian a military salute...
"This idiot!"
Xiuxiu was almost crying, but in such a solemn occasion, she dared not step forward. She could only cover her face and avert her eyes.
Su Xingyan and his grandson Su Shanhe's hearts skipped a beat, and they looked helpless.
What a joke! This was the Hall Master of the Witch God Hall.
Even if Lin Shuainan's head was hard and he wasn't afraid of death, he couldn't drag them down like this, could he?
If they angered Wu Jiutian, they would all die without a burial place.
But to everyone's surprise, Wu Jiutian not only didn't get angry at Lin Shuainan's salute but instead laughed heartily: "Haha, hello! Be seated!"
Everyone was dizzy.
Was the Hall Master of the Witch God Hall so approachable? His temper was too good!
A series of question marks popped into their minds.
However, no matter what, their lives were saved and they weren't dragged to death by Lin Shuainan...
"Entrusted by Ling Feng, for the next three days, you all must stay within the Witch God Hall. Someone will be responsible for your daily life here!"
Wu Jiutian gave a brief instruction and waved his hand at the Great Elder.
"Yes!"
The Great Elder responded and led the confused Su Xingyan and others through winding paths to their residences!
This place was on the mountaintop, with elegant detached houses all around. Looking into the distance, the view was vast and exhilarating!
"Great Elder, please tell me, where is Ling Feng now..."
Su Xingyan asked cautiously.
"This old man doesn't know Ling Feng's situation either. However, since the Hall Master is keeping him in the inner hall for three days, it must be that Ling Feng has encountered some opportunity! So, please wait patiently! If you need anything, just tell the servants."
The Great Elder left after a brief explanation.
"Grandpa Su, will Ling Feng be alright?" Hua Yuxiao bit her lower lip, looking worried.
Su Xingyan also shook his head blankly.
Being able to enter the Witch God Hall and meet the Hall Master of the Witch God Hall was something Su Xingyan had never dreamed of.
However, now, not only did he not feel any honor, but he felt like a bird in a cage, unable to struggle and only able to be controlled by others!
Su Shanhe's heart also grew heavy seeing Su Xingyan's preoccupied look.
Only Lin Shuainan patted Guan Ya's shoulder and asked belatedly, "Little brother, didn't you come in with my big brother? Where is my big brother?"
"Lin Shuainan! Are you an idiot?"
Before Guan Ya could answer, Xiuxiu rushed forward and grabbed Lin Shuainan's ear, clearly still angry about his earlier offense to Wu Jiutian in the hall.
This person always lacked common sense, acting and speaking recklessly without regard for the occasion.
Lin Shuainan could only beg for mercy repeatedly.
Guan Ya looked at the chaotic scene and couldn't help but laugh and cry.
The mysterious girl blinked her beautiful eyes, sizing up Hua Yuxiao, and said with a smile.
"You seem very worried about Ling Feng."
Hua Yuxiao's pretty face flushed slightly upon hearing this, and then she nodded to the mysterious girl.
"Are you his girlfriend?"
"No... no." Hua Yuxiao was anxious to explain something, but thinking of her relationship with Ling Feng, she could only awkwardly utter two words.
Seeing Hua Yuxiao's hesitant look, the mysterious girl shrugged and continued, "We did come in together before, but then Ling Feng was very bold and said he wanted to speak to the Hall Master privately."
"Then the Hall Master took Ling Feng to the inner hall. About half an hour later, the Hall Master came out himself and said that Ling Feng might have to stay here for three days."
After hearing the truth, Hua Yuxiao's anxiety did not decrease but rather increased.
"Wh, why do they have to stay here for three days?"
Hua Yuxiao murmured to herself.
Xiuxiu also let go of Lin Shuainan's ear and was about to come up to comfort her.
However, Lin Shuainan, covering his sore ear, cried out, "Ow! I know! It must be that Saintess Ji Yunyue! I think that Hall Master uncle is quite capable. Perhaps he fancies my big brother's looks and wants to keep my big brother here to marry that Ji Yunyue!"
As soon as Lin Shuainan said this, the people around them thought about it more and more, and couldn't help but nod in agreement.
This matter was indeed possible.
Hua Yuxiao, on the other hand, shook her head with a bitter smile.
If that were the case, there wouldn't be much to worry about. At least Ling Feng would be safe now.
"Yes, that's right, it must be like this. Besides me, only my big brother can catch the eye of that Hall Master. I already have a family, so Hall Master uncle can only set his sights on my big brother!"
Lin Shuainan began to indulge in narcissistic fantasies again.
This time, even Hua Yuxiao couldn't help but want to roll her eyes at him.
Guan Ya and the mysterious girl exchanged glances, feeling that Lin Shuainan's words had some truth to them.
Before, even towards Ji Yunyue, the Hall Master's attitude towards them was very stern, even every word carried an overwhelming aura!
On the contrary, Ling Feng, even without kneeling and bowing, the Hall Master did not get angry.
His attitude towards Lin Shuainan was even more bizarre. After Lin Shuainan entered and acted like a lunatic, the Hall Master not only didn't get angry but even laughed. This was clearly preferential treatment!
"Hmm, it seems this man must have some peculiar qualities!"
The mysterious girl looked Lin Shuainan up and down and nodded repeatedly.
As they were all guessing aimlessly, Guan Ya and the mysterious girl also joined in, and soon revealed the matter of the蛊毒 (gu du - poisonous insects).
Upon hearing the details, Su Xingyan, who had been listless, suddenly's eyes lit up.
"So, the Hall Master keeping Ling Feng here is likely related to this matter. Ling Feng has extremely high witch doctor talent, and the Hall Master must know this! Perhaps only Ling Feng can solve this蛊毒 (gu du - poisonous insects)!"
The more Su Xingyan spoke, the more excited he became, even speculating that Ling Feng might be studying some secret scriptures bestowed by the Hall Master in the Witch God Hall!
In fact, Ling Feng was not studying secret scriptures!
Instead, he had turned the entire Divine Art Pavilion of the Witch God Hall upside down!
