Jiang Shi pondered again in his heart and said, "Is it really just ten days?"
"Yes."
Shopkeeper Linghu responded.
"Alright, we’ll take this task. Where’s the person?"
Jiang Shi asked.
Shopkeeper Linghu imdiately breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head to the side, and shouted, "Bring the Twelfth Master over."
In no ti.
Two burly elders, with serious faces, protected a boy of about seven or eight years old, swiftly coming over from the backyard.
"Shopkeeper Linghu, are they trustworthy?"
One of the sturdy elders asked.
He looked extrely strange, with a head full of golden hair, a flat nose, thick lips, and bright eyes like a divine lantern.
At first glance, he seed like a lion-headed person.
The other elder beside him was tall and thin, with a dark complexion, skin glowing with a bronze hue, and vigorous blood circulation indicating physical strength.
"Mr. Shi, rest assured, I’ve had several transactions with them and they should be trustworthy."
Shopkeeper Linghu responded.
"Hmph, what’s with the ’should be’?"
The dark-skinned elder next to him snorted coldly, like a booming bell, resonating in the heart, and said, "The safety of the Twelfth Master is of utmost importance, and we must not let him fall into the hands of so scourge. If we entrust him wrongly, Shopkeeper Linghu, neither you nor I will escape death."
"This... there are no better thods now, we can only do this."
Shopkeeper Linghu’s face changed.
Jiang Shi remained indifferent, motionless, as he looked at the two elders.
A Holy Spirit at the sixth return!
A Holy Spirit at the seventh return!
They seed powerful, but in fact, they could be taken care of with one palm.
"Shopkeeper Linghu, it seems you haven’t made up your mind yet. Contact when you’ve thought it through. So people might co to my place and be sarcastic otherwise."
His voice was calm and slowly echoed.
Chen Long, Zi Shu, and Chou Niu beside him all sneered relentlessly.
What does it matter if they are from the royal family?
Do they really think they are above others?
In front of their master, no one cares about your status.
"Mr. Shi, Mr. Tong, follow them. Shopkeeper Linghu has been exposed here, don’t make any more demands."
Suddenly, the seven or eight-year-old boy spoke.
A pair of dark big eyes actively glanced towards Jiang Shi.
Mr. Shi and Mr. Tong initially wanted to say more, but their expressions changed, and they bowed in response.
"Mr. Yin Hu, please fulfill your promise to protect us. After the matter is done, the Holy Spirit Pill will definitely be handed to you."
The boy said.
"Hmm, let’s go."
Jiang Shi’s tone was calm as he directly turned and walked outside.
The boy and the two elders beside him didn’t say a word and imdiately followed along.
Ti passed quickly.
Jiang Shi directly brought the three of them to his residence, speaking smoothly, "From today on, you will live here. Do not disturb unless necessary."
"Live here?"
The lion-headed man’s brows furrowed as he looked at the small courtyard and said, "Isn’t this too simple?"
"Mr. Shi, say no more, I can live here."
The boy spoke.
"Young Master, I’m just afraid you’ll be bullied by scoundrels."
The lion-headed man’s expression fluctuated as he glanced at Jiang Shi.
"Don’t worry, I believe Mr. Yin Hu wouldn’t do that."
The boy said.
"Yes, Young Master."
The lion-headed man responded respectfully.
Jiang Shi didn’t continue to pay attention to them. After leading them into the courtyard, he directly moved towards the room, continuing, "Also, rember one thing: my room is off-limits to you. Don’t bla for not warning you beforehand. If you dare to enter, don’t fault for being unsympathetic."
"You!"
The expressions of the lion-headed man and Mr. Tong changed slightly, quickly emitting a displeased snort, and they fiercely flung their sleeves.
However, under the boy’s comfort, they couldn’t lose their tempers, and quickly found another room to settle the boy.
Inside the room.
Jiang Shi carried several boxes of materials into it, casually waving his hand to dismiss Chen Long and Chou Niu, then rubbed his ring with his fingers.
"Daoist Master Xuan, how is your recovery coming along?"
Shh!
A white glow shimred on the ring, emitting a thick soul power.
"It’s nearly complete, thanks to your Nine Dragons Heart Transformation Grass. Otherwise, I would really be in danger this ti!"
Daoist Master Xuan’s old voice slowly erged.
"Hmm, in that case, are you able to construct the array platform?"
Jiang Shi asked.
"Yes."
Daoist Master Xuan nodded, "But it will take ti and must not be disturbed."
"Rest assured, with guarding, no one will disturb you."
Jiang Shi responded.
"That’s good."
Daoist Master Xuan’s voice sounded, and he erged entirely from the ring. A white glow surrounded him, ethereal and more solid than before.
He looked at the materials in the boxes and said, "We still lack so foundation stones for the grand array. You can randomly transport so from outside."
"No problem."
Jiang Shi nodded.
He summoned the Eight Great Zodiac Gods again, started instructing them to transport stones.
They didn’t say a word and imdiately started to act swiftly.
···
Ti passed.
The following ti was uneventful.
Except for the nightly disturbances in the city, nothing unexpected happened with Jiang Shi and the others.
On the day Chen Long and the others brought back the foundation stones, Daoist Master Xuan began secretly constructing the grand array in the room.
Just like that, in the blink of an eye, seven or eight days passed.
But what was ant to happen eventually did.
On the ninth night.
Mr. Shi and Mr. Tong, who had been hiding in the room, suddenly opened their eyes with a vigilant expression. Then Mr. Shi, without thinking, instantly soared, smashed through the roof, and landed outside.
"Who?"
Mr. Shi shouted loudly.
"Hehehe."
Raspy and sinister laughter echoed from all around, accompanied by thick black mist, dark and obscure, as if it could devour light.
"Shi Yuanye, Tong Wushuang, you both are really good at running, making us search until now."
The raspy sinister voice repeated, carrying an intangible killing intent.
The old locust in the courtyard trembled and shook.
Leaves swiftly withered and fell uncontrollably.
