Chen Xiaoli looked at the empty courtyard, somewhat confused.
Hua Xiangyun walked towards a corner of the courtyard once again, wandering around and occasionally throwing out a flag. The Hongzheng Gate, which had disappeared, reappeared.
But he seemed oblivious to everything in the courtyard, groping around aimlessly.
Even when the little master walked past him several times, he didn't give him a second glance, as if the other person was invisible.
Chen Xiaoli felt even more awe. She had only known that the Goddess Wu was very powerful, but the threshold for her to befriend her was high, so people in the surrounding area generally did not dare to ask for help.
I never expected this little girl to be so amazing. Who is that Wu Shenpo?
But she was still afraid, so she whispered to Xiao Bao, "You should go hide for a while. I wonder if this young master can subdue that Taoist priest?"
I thought they had been chased away, but I didn't expect them to still be in this yard.
Xiao Bao shook his head. Although he was young, he understood everything he needed to know. "So what if I run away? If the other party is determined, they can still catch me."
"And this older sister is very capable; Xiao Bao believes she can definitely catch the bad guy."
Seeing her son's innocent look, Chen Xiaoli had no choice but to keep a closer eye on him. But then she felt unsafe, so she ran into the room and grabbed a knife. She thought that if the Taoist priest came out again, she would fight him to the death, and she didn't want her son to suffer anymore.
Hua Xiangyun had set up a formation within a formation, and she still had to keep a watchful eye on Hong Zhengmen.
He was also thinking about how to get the gun out of the other party's hands.
Just because the other party didn't hesitate to kill him, this enmity has already been formed.
She could trap someone in this formation, but she had to consider whether the other party also had a sect.
If the other party has a special way of contacting her and manages to find her again, then she will be facing a tough battle.
Unexpectedly, Hong Zhengmen, who was trapped in the formation, shouted loudly, "Young friend outside, it was all a misunderstanding. I am Hong Zhengmen, the second disciple of the Nan'an Sect. May I ask who your master is?"
Hong Zhengmen stood inside the formation, still cautiously exploring. He knew that the person who set up the formation was watching him, but he was helpless.
He has studied the crafting of magical artifacts, but he only has a superficial understanding of formations.
“Young friend, we are both members of the Xuanmen sect,” Hong Zhengmen continued when the person outside did not respond for a long time. “We should help each other. I created the little ghost because he lingered in the human world. When my Hundred Ghost Banner is completed, he will not be an unknown little ghost.”
Chen Xiaoli heard everything and couldn't stand it anymore. "You're talking nonsense! My Xiaobao didn't do anything bad, nor did he provoke you. Why are you treating him like this?"
If they truly cared for him, they wouldn't have let those ghosts bully him and cause him so much suffering.
Hong Zhengmen's face lit up with joy. This meant that the people outside could hear and perhaps even see what was happening inside. He stopped in the direction of the sound.
"Young lady, you've misunderstood. I'm doing this for your own good. It's not good for your health and lifespan if a living person is constantly with their soul."
Moreover, you can't trust lies the most; who knows if he's just deceiving you to drain your life force?
Xiao Bao excitedly tried to rush over, but the mother said, "You're talking nonsense. I just want to be with my mom."
After saying that, she looked at Chen Xiaoli nervously, her voice full of grievance, "Mom, I really didn't..."
"Of course Mom believes you, and it's all my selfishness as a mother that made me beg you to stay with me." Chen Xiaoli held Xiaobao tightly in her arms. Although she couldn't feel him, she was happy at that moment.
Hong Zhengmen: "Kid, not everything your mother said is true. Do you know why she met you?"
It's because she has a natural ability to see spirits; only when she's with you souls can her eyes see more.
"Don't believe me? Ask your mother. Although her health has deteriorated, hasn't her eye condition gotten worse?"
Seeing that the other party was still trying to sow discord at this time, Hua Xiangyun laughed and said, "So what? The mother and son are willing to hit and the son is willing to be hit."
Besides, did they come to your door to bully or deceive you? Or did someone else get involved because of them?
I don't think you're the type to enjoy helping others, so why do you always like to meddle in other people's business?
Hong Zhengmen quickly picked up on the direction Hua Xiangyun was speaking from, "Young friend, I see you have a deep understanding of formations. May I ask if you are a disciple of the Tianzheng Sect?"
However, Tianzhen Sect moved overseas decades ago. Could it be that they have returned?
Hong Zhengmen had this suspicion, so naturally he wanted to find out more. After all, resources were limited, and if Tianzhenmen came back to compete for them, it wouldn't be a good thing for any of the factions.
Hua Xiangyun: "I am not a member of the Tianzheng Sect, but just a rogue cultivator."
She wasn't wrong to say that, because her master had previously explained that although the Heavenly Array Sect was founded by Wu Chenxi's grandfather, she and the current sect leader had separated, so naturally, she, as the little disciple, had no connection with the Heavenly Array Sect.
"Rogue cultivators," Hong Zhengmen thought to himself. Rogue cultivators were a real problem, as they were not bound by any sect and acted with even more impunity.
Moreover, these people lack cultivation resources and basically rely on robbing others from outside.
The other person has so much equipment; it might not have been passed down from a master, but rather something they've been smearing on someone else.
The thought sent chills down Hong Zhengmen's spine. Could he be the little girl's next target for robbery?
At this moment, he dared not maintain his composure any longer and pleaded, "Young friend, the previous misunderstanding was all my fault. I was the one who started it. I apologize to you here."
I'm not taking this brat anymore. Just let me out first, and then we'll be even.
Hua Xiangyun didn't believe the other party's show of weakness. He was asking for a favor, so he naturally lowered his stance. But if the other party showed up, he didn't know how to retaliate.
“But your attack just now was very ruthless, every move was meant to kill me,” Hua Xiangyun pretended to ponder, then continued, “Although I have never heard of the Nan’an Sect, I am just a rogue cultivator and I do not want to make enemies.”
"Letting you out is fine, but what guarantee do you have that you won't try to harm me again after you get out?"
Hong Zhengmen didn't expect that the other party was still wary of her at this point, but from another perspective, what she did didn't seem wrong.
If he weren't unfamiliar with formations, he wouldn't be humbling himself here today. He didn't expect that even after introducing himself, the other party would still be acting all high and mighty.
“I can swear,” Hong Zhengmen had to put aside some of his previous thoughts, otherwise he was really afraid that the other party would have murderous intentions towards him.
The victor is king, the loser is villain; that's just how it is. If their situations were reversed, he would have already dealt with her and made her one of his ghost slaves.
Hua Xiangyun remained unmoved, instead staring at the storage pouch at his waist. "That depends on your sincerity..."
Hong Zhengmen understood; this person wanted something in return.
He couldn't help but look down on the other person a bit; as expected, he was just a rogue cultivator, too easily impressed...
