Patriarch Xie looked at Patriarch Shi with a smile. “I didn’t expect the medicine to be so helpful when they went out this time.”
While the people here were conversing, Qiao Yinuo arrived in the courtyard with the items his family had prepared for Guan Xilin. He moved forward when he noticed they were drinking tea.
“Brother Guan, Miss Ye, I prepared some dry food for you on the way.” He placed the items on the table.
Guan Xilin smiled. “Thank you, then.”
“You’re very welcome. These are small things.”
Guan Xilin motioned to Ye Jing to put things away before standing up and saying, “We must depart early. You don’t need to send us off.”
“My father is in the front hall with the patriarchs. He is unable to leave temporarily. I’ll send you on your way!” Qiao Yinuo said. “It is impolite if the host does not send off his guests.” He made an inviting gesture.
Guan Xilin gave Ye Jing a sidelong glance. They exchanged glances before relenting and allowing him to take them outside.
‘When Qiao Yinuo returned home after seeing them off, he noticed his father sending a group of patriarchs.
“Eh? Are those the two who rescued you?” Patriarch Shi inquired. His gaze was drawn to the two figures who had departed. When he saw the man turn slightly to talk to the woman beside him, he had a vague feeling that the man was familiar.
“That’s right, it’s them.” Qiao Yinuo spoke up. “They are in a hurry, so they don’t stay in the mansion for long.”
Several other patriarchs nodded, cupped their fists in salute, and exited, while Patriarch Shi had been meditating for quite some time when he suddenly patted his head. “I remember.”
He turned to face Patriarch Qiao. “Do you recognize the figure of that young master? Is his surname Guan? A year ago, I was in Hundred Rivers City and happened to see him from a distance. Isn’t this man Ghost Doctor’s brother, Guan Xilin?”
‘When the Qiao father and son heard this, they looked at each other, slightly surprised. “Did you recognize him?” Patriarch Qiao inquired.
“There are seven or eight points that are similar.” He said this thoughtfully as he looked at Qiao’s father and son. “Are you sure you don’t know who he is?”
Qiao Yinuo was silent, while Patriarch Qiao smiled and said, “Isn’t he gone now? Whether you know it or not, it’s now meaningless.”
Patriarch Shi was moved and laughed as he heard the words. “That’s right, it doesn’t make sense to say this right now.” With that, he cupped his fists, “Then I’m leaving now. Goodbye.”
Patriarch Qiao returned the salute and stood there watching him walk away.
“Go in! Prepare yourself and leave tomorrow.” Patriarch Qiao said to his son.
“Yes.” Qiao Yinuo replied, and walked into the mansion with him.
Feng Jiu and Xuanyuan Mo Ze, on the other hand, were discussing the demon clan with the sect master and peak masters of the Nebula Immortal Sect. They stood up once they completed talking about the overall picture.
“Let’s follow through on what we just talked about! We might just stay for a few more days and then leave.” Feng Jiu said, looking at the sect master and others.
‘They stood up as well. “Alright, please be at ease. I believe the demon clan’s vitality has been sapped this time. They will not come out in a hasty manner again.”
“Let’s go!” Xuanyuan Mo Ze took Feng Jiu’s hand and walked out without even looking at the people behind him.
The sect master flicked his hand as he watched them leave.. “Let us disperse!”
