"It's a pity, it's a pity that An Mansion is currently busy with big matters and really has no ti to entertain Divine Doctor Ding, otherwise, we would definitely keep Divine Doctor Ding to entertain him properly."
Listening to the An Family Head's lant, Ding Hui even felt that this old thing's expression didn't seem faked.
"What do you an, my lord? As long as you need it, as long as An Mansion needs it, I can return at any ti to pledge my services!"
Ding Hui was speaking pleasantries, and the An Family Head knew she was speaking pleasantries.
But what was incredible was that after her identity was revealed, the An Family Head actually wanted to let Ding Hui leave! Even not allowing her to stay overnight!
"Amitabha, let escort Master Ding for a journey."
"Then I'll trouble Master Quan Heng."
Ding Hui could leave, but Monk Quan Heng couldn't.
Before the ceremony was over, Quan Heng couldn't leave anywhere.
This seed to be the unanimous decision of An Mansion, and the An Family's Third Elder had ntioned this before.
Watching Ding Hui and Monk Quan Heng leave the room together, until their figures disappeared, the An Family Head then said faintly.
"She has already left."
Clad in a black robe, only half a figure appeared from the doorway.
"...I saw."
The An Family Head smiled slightly.
"Hui Yao, we've cooperated for many years, but it's the first ti I've seen you care so much for a woman."
The figure in the black robe glanced coldly at the person in the room. Even though there was a thick darkness obscuring the view, that icy gaze still made the An Family Head feel an unusual sensation imdiately.
The An Family Head restrained his smile.
Just a mont ago, when Hui Yao suddenly ca to the door, asking him to drive away the woman brought by Monk Quan Heng, the An Family Head was only feeling baffled.
Now, the An Family Head sowhat understood what Hui Yao was worried about.
But...
"That woman, is she really worth your apprehension? I rember when she left Thunder City back then, her dical skill was just so-so."
Hui Yao just shook his head.
"You don't understand. Ding Hui... Her strength was never in her dical skills."
The An Family Head frowned but didn't say more.
An ant that could easily be crushed wasn't worth wasting extra effort paying attention to.
"Even if she discovered sothing, it wouldn't change anything, your worry is unnecessary. Besides, if you really think that woman poses a threat, I'll have soone get rid of her."
"Just a Divine Doctor, there are plenty of Divine Doctors in Thunder City. Just within our An family, there are three Divine Doctors. The other Ten Major Families also each have at least one Divine Doctor in their residences."
The An Family Head really didn't think Ding Hui was that special.
But just as he finished speaking...
Swish!
Clearly, through the pitch-black robe, it was impossible to see Hui Yao's expression at this mont, but the An Family Head could just sense the icy, bone-chilling killing intent beneath the black robe from Hui Yao.
"Don't touch her! Just don't let her get near An Mansion."
"...As you wish. Just as the corpses in the mansion are now almost all in place, at such a critical mont, I don't want to cause extra trouble and ss things up, avoiding any changes in the plan."
"Finally... Alright, then, I'll lend you a hand at that ti."
"Hahaha! Lord Duan, what are you saying? Helping is helping yourself! It's just everyone helping each other!"
The atmosphere beca harmonious again, and at this mont, urgent footsteps echoed from the hallway outside.
"Master! Master! There's a situation!"
So rash!
The An Family Head's expression darkened, and when he looked at the door to see Hui Yao, he had already vanished when the voice rang out.
"..."
That guy's aura is becoming harder and harder to capture. Even for , before making a move, I can't be sure if this guy is strong or weak now.
The An Family Head pondered.
And at that mont, the butler who ca hastily to report, hurriedly arrived at the door.
"Master! There's news from our spies, soone is slaying demons in Thunder City!"
The An Family Head slowly frowned.
"Is that a little thing? Lao Xuan, you're not young anymore, you're too rash in your actions."
Thunder City is so large, it's normal for there to be so demons in the city.
Occasionally being discovered and having demons slain is the sa.
To really have peace under the heavens, what use is the Foolish Underworld then?
"If there's nothing else, retreat. I'll go have a look at the Soothing Spirit Pillar."
As the day approached, even the An Family Head could not help but feel a bit more apprehensive.
"Master! Not just one! The butler said anxiously.
"What?"
The An Family Head looked at the butler in confusion.
"Not just one, did soone slay multiple demons? That's impressive strength, investigate the background, if it's clean, try to recruit them."
"Master, starting from this morning, from when soone first witnessed it until now, nearly a dozen demons have been killed! One of our disguised demons was also killed! And that person is still killing demons and shows no signs of stopping! He's still at it!!"
Swish—
This ti, the An Family Head stood up from his seat.
"In broad daylight, don't talk nonsense!"
He initially rebuked the butler with a cold voice, then asked in a deep voice, "Who is causing trouble? Zhang Family's wild dog? Or Qin Family's wild dog? I just clarified the pros and cons with them, and now they're going crazy? Do they really expect us to have easy days left once Lan Yuhe defends Demon Capital? A bunch of shortsighted fools!"
The butler kept his head down, not daring to make a sound.
Concerning the other Ten Major Families, concerning the duel among various Clan Heads, he's not at a level where he's qualified to be involved.
"Speak! Have you found out who's ruining things yet?"
"No, the news only just reached us, and that guy kills a demon and then leaves imdiately, never lingering. It's as if he has detailed intelligence on the demons covertly in the city, acting decisively with astonishing efficiency! At this rate... Master, before sunset, within our area of influence, there might still be a few 'people' suffering!"
