"Junior sister, how did you sleep last night?" Wu Lin said to Yan Ying while chewing a steamed bun.
"I slept well."
"Second Brother, it snowed last night, so it must be harder to catch the monsters." Yan Ying looked at the silver-white scene outside the door with a headache.
"Master and the others went out early in the morning. I saw you were asleep, so I didn't call you." Wu Lin choked on a steamed bun and took a sip of tea.
Yan Ying pouted and looked at Wu Lin. "Second Brother, it's not like you haven't practiced fasting before, why are you eating this steamed bun?"
"The people in the inn don't know we are monks, so we can't just deny our identity without eating or drinking."
"Junior sister, after we left last night, I asked Senior Brother, and he said they didn't see any monsters either."
"It's not just the two of us who didn't find it, no one else did. Even our master couldn't find any trace of the monster."
"And there was the masked man yesterday. The enemy is in the dark and I am in the light, so we can't reveal our identities now. I always feel that something is strange." Wu Lin whispered.
Yan Ying also picked up a steamed bun and started to eat it. Listening to what the second brother said, she also felt that something was wrong... "Then are we still going out to find the monster?"
"No need to go."
Yan Ying and Wu Lin turned around when they heard the voices behind them. Bai Huanzhi and He Qing, with a chill all over their bodies, sat down next to them.
"Big Brother, what happened?" Wu Lin asked impatiently.
"Still no, Master asked us to come back first."
"Master has instructed us not to leave this inn without his permission. A group of people came to Fuzhou this morning, and we still don't know their identities." Bai Huanzhi sighed.
If they are from a sect that came to Fuzhou to capture monsters, they would probably take action today. Their origins are still unclear, so we must be careful.
"People are coming... Are they here to catch monsters as well? Could the monsters have already been tamed by someone?" Yan Ying asked in a low voice.
"The monster has not been sent back to the Demon Locking Tower. If it was subdued, it could only be done by someone from the Demon Realm." Bai Huanzhi also felt that the monster had been subdued. Otherwise, it would be impossible for them not to have encountered a single monster.
If someone from a sect had subdued the monster, they would definitely get the news and know which sect did it. Furthermore, if someone from a sect had captured the monster, they would definitely send it back to the Monster Locking Tower.
The spiritual power of these monsters is not something that ordinary monster hunters can subdue. Only people from the Demon Realm will capture the monsters in order to absorb their spiritual elixirs.
In the darkness, Cen Ji stood with his hands behind his back, listening to everything they said with an indifferent expression.
The one who captured the monster was not from the Demon Realm. He would not accept this dirty laundry. He was afraid that there might be a traitor in the Immortal Sect.
Feng Xu appeared next to Cen Ji. Cen Ji glanced at the direction where the few people were sitting, then turned and left.
Yan Ying tilted her head subtly and caught a glimpse of a purple figure out of the corner of her eye.
Isn't it quiet? Is she overthinking it...
In the guest room, a man with a face as pale as paper was lying on the bed with his eyes closed.
The man's face was blue, his lips were purple, and his expression was cold.
"He just woke up once, but fell asleep again due to exhaustion." Feng Xu said, looking at the person on the bed.
Lying on the bed was the thousand-year-old python.
Cen Ji stood beside the bed and raised his hand to transfer spiritual power into the spiritual python's body.
"I saw a bottle of elixir in your room. Why don't you give it to him..." Feng Xu asked with a raised eyebrow.
This morning he saw a medicine bottle placed next to Cen Ji's pillow, which contained a magical medicine for treating external injuries.
Cen Ji frowned slightly. The elixir was given to him by the little ghost, and he was reluctant to use it, so how could he give it to others?
"That medicine can't cure his injury." Cen Ji said coldly.
Feng Xu chuckled, afraid that he was reluctant to give it to him.
"By the way, my men are still being held captive by you?" Feng Xu went back to Yejiang last night to take care of everything, and this morning he hurried to Fuzhou to help Cen Ji treat the spiritual python. Only then did he remember that his men were still in Cen Ji's hands.
It’s really unbelievable that yesterday he thought he was going to die, but today he is getting along well with Cen Ji.
"That man instigated you to escape from the Demon Realm and tried to threaten me by kidnapping people. Do you really think he is loyal to you?" Cen Ji had already killed the man in black.
Since he dared to touch his people, he should bear the consequences. He said that he would not let the little ghost be frightened in vain.
Feng Xu lowered his eyes and said nothing. Although that subordinate had been with him for a long time, his behavior had indeed been erratic recently. It would be good if Cen Ji could handle it for him...
"My Lord, are you really fond of that girl?" Feng Xu whispered behind Cen Ji.
Cen Ji remembered what Gui Ren had said, that he could not have any weaknesses, and that his relationship with the little ghost could not be known by too many people, but he did not want to deny it.
"Not answering means you agree."
"I didn't expect that the master is so mature at such a young age, and even has his ideal partner." Feng Xu said with a smile.
"Who are you calling young?" Cen Ji turned around and glared at Feng Xu coldly.
Feng Xu closed his mouth, lowered his eyes and stopped talking.
After spending the day together, he found that although Cen Ji was cruel, he was just a teenager after all, a boy half a head shorter than him, and he had a bad temper.
The spirit python coughed lightly and slowly woke up. He opened his eyes and saw two people standing beside the bed.
He recognized Cen Ji and remembered that it was he who saved him and brought him out of the cave.
"Benefactor..." The spiritual python was about to stand up while speaking.
"What's your name?" Cen Ji asked the person on the bed.
"My name is Qi Jiang. Thank you for saving me." Qi Jiang leaned against the bed with a pale face.
"Who hurt you?"
