A few flickering oil lamps were burning in a dark hall. At that moment, a ray of light was shining into the hall as the wooden door of the hall was opened!
The ray of light landed on an old man with disheveled hair. Borrowing the ray of light, one could see that the old man's silver hair was scattered everywhere. His clothes were also very tattered.
His eyes were hidden beneath his silver hair, so it was impossible to see his face clearly. At this moment, his eyes were slightly closed as he sat cross-legged on the ground facing the door.
After being illuminated by the light, the old man slowly opened his turbid eyes. When he clearly saw the person who entered the door, he closed his eyes and asked in a slightly hoarse voice, ”Is there any news?”
”My lord, there is still no news from those two sisters!” When the person heard the old man's question, he quickly bowed and respectfully replied!
”Mm, this old man knows. There is no need to wait any longer. The two of them are probably already dead!” The old man's eyes were closed, and when he said these words he didn't have any hint of emotion. It was as if he were someone from another world!
”My lord, should we tell this to Jiang Ye?” After the person heard the elder's words, he hesitated for a moment before asking again.
”Don't tell him about this first. He's on the verge of a breakthrough. If you tell him about this, it'll mess him up. Go ahead, call Pear Blossom over!” The old man opened his eyes and slowly exhaled a mouthful of foul air. He then gave the order to the person who had arrived!
”Here!” ”My lord, I will go and find Pear Blossom right now!” The person bowed and left, closing the door behind him!
Before long, the door was pushed open again, and this time, a young lady dressed in purple silk entered. She had a slim figure, beautiful eyes, and a seductive aura around her. After she entered, she bowed to the old man and said, ”Pear Blossom greets Martial Granduncle! I hope Martial Granduncle can master this technique soon! ”
When the old man saw the girl, his haggard face turned slightly, and he said to Pear Blossom, ”You're in charge of the pavilion now, and you have the most information. Martial Uncle is asking you, do you know the whereabouts of the Jiang sisters?”
When Riko Flower heard the old man's words, she asked instead of answering, ”Martial Uncle, do you want to hear the truth or a lie?”
The elder looked affectionately at the woman named Pear Blossom, and then reproached her: ”You child, you're still walking in circles with me! Hurry up and tell the truth! ”
”Oh ~ Martial Uncle, don't tell me that you don't feel bored when you go into closed door cultivation all day?” I just wanted to give you some fun! Since you are so anxious to refuse to even joke, I will tell you the truth. Those two sisters died last night! The corpse is currently lying in the coroner's office in Central Guizhou! ” When Riko saw the elder urging her so urgently, she could only tell him the whereabouts of the two sisters!
”He's really dead!” It seems like what I found last night is true! ” After the old man received Pear Blossom's reply, he nodded and said in an indifferent manner!
”Martial Uncle, you already know the result of cultivating this sacred art, why are you still asking me?” Are you here to test me? ” Upon hearing the elder's words, Pear Blossom said to the elder in displeasure.
