1614: Not An Old Man?

Not An Old Man?

"Chen Dao, have you seen anything yet?" She asked him jokingly seeing that he was in good spirits. It seemed that Chen Dao's confidence had recovered since he regained function of his legs. 2

"I thought that Hell's Palace's Master was an old man, or at the very most a middle aged man. I never expected him to be so young, even younger than me." Chen Dao stroked his moustache as he spoke. 

When she heard this, the corners of Feng Jiu's mouth twitched. Even Xuanyuan Mo Ze who was drinking tea choked on his tea after hearing what he said. He coughed lightly then raised his eyes and glanced at him.

Feng Jiu looked at him speechlessly and then asked: "Why an old man? You know that I am not twenty years old yet, so how can a young and beauty like me fall in love with an old man?"

"That's why I said it's unexpected! I just didn't imagine him to be so young." His eyes swept towards Xuanyuan Mo Ze once again and saw his aura, not angry but mighty, and he couldn't help but thought: I'm afraid this man is not only Hell's Palace's Hell's Lord? He probably has some other identity that no one knows about. 

Luo Heng was a bit restrained because everyone's cultivation was stronger than him, especially Feng Jiu and that man in black robes sitting in the main seat. The powerful pressure and aura of the superiors made him afraid to breathe.

When he heard Chen Dao's fearless words in front of this man in black robes, he couldn't help but move to his side and tugged on his sleeves. Who would have guessed that Chen Dao would ask impatiently: "Why are you pulling my sleeves?"

When everyone in the hall saw this, smiles appeared on their faces. These two men were very funny. 

"Stop talking, do you want to die?" Luo Heng glared at him. He said to Feng Jiu and Xuanyuan Mo Ze with embarrassment: "This is what he is like. Feng Jiu knows that he has no ill intentions or malice."

"Enough, stop being so restrained. Leng Shuang has just ordered the servants to prepare food and wine, why don't you join us for a drink?" She looked at the two of them and said. 

Chen Dao replied immediately: "Sure! We've not slept or ate well this whole journey searching for you. Now that we're here, we shall take full advantage of your hospitality."

After Feng Jiu had given Leng Shuang instructions about food and wine, the group moved to the side hall. After more than a dozen or so dishes had been placed on the table, Xuanyuan Mo Ze, Feng Jiu, Guan Xilin, Chen Dao and Luo Heng took their seats at the table. Other than Leng Shuang who stayed behind to pour the wine, everyone else left. 

After they had drunk a round of wine, Feng Jiu asked: "You said earlier that you have been searching for me? Why are you looking for me? Is there a problem?"

Luo Heng and Chen Dao glanced at each other, then after a pause, Chen Dao said: "Actually, there's probably not much point mentioning this now."

"Oh? What is it?" She raised her eyebrows.

"We were ordered by Duan Mubai to leave the mountain to look for you…." Chen Dao told her everything and how they came to be here and the latest news about the Sect. 

Upon hearing this, Feng Jiu was silent for a while. She hadn't expected Duan Mubai to send them to warn her. 

"You are too late, she met with an ambush one month ago. There were four Celestial Strong Exponents with a dozen more people sent to assassinate her. Fortunately she was lucky, otherwise, hmph!"

Guan Xilin snorted coldly. In all honesty, he didn't have a good impression of the Pill Sun Sect, especially when they wanted to take his younger sister's life.
