I Just Want To Slack off In Cultivation - Chapter 1071
1071 The faceless great immortal
The Vermilion railings were lined up, and the green tiles were uneven.
A cluster of red banana trees extended from the outside of the cantaloupe into the corridor, graceful and elegant as the wind blew.
PEI Ling followed behind the guard.
!!
The two of them had just walked out of a Moon Cave when he suddenly said, ” “What did old master want to see me for?”
“Young master, the master didn’t say anything. I’m not very clear about it,” the guard replied.
Hearing this, PEI Ling nodded his head slightly. The guard did not know. It could be that he was unwilling to say, or it could be something more important. Old master did not reveal a single word, so the other party really did not know.
He then asked, ” “Other than me, is there anyone else who wants to go over?”
“And young master ni and young lady Xiang ‘e,” the guard said.
Miss Xiang ‘e?
Didn’t she go missing last night?
As for that ‘young master LAN’, PEI Ling did not have any clues and could not determine the other party’s identity at all.
However, apart from himself, there were also The Pink Bride, Yu, and the greedy slave who had entered the place of creation. If miss Xiang ‘e was The Pink Bride, then was the remaining young master Yi Yu or the greedy slave?
Or could it be that the other two young masters and young mistresses in this house were not “Yu,” the greedy slave, and The Pink Bride?
Thinking of this, PEI Ling continued to ask, ” “Did anything unusual happen in the family recently?”
“No, young master.” The guard shook his head and replied. Everything is normal at home.”
As the two of them spoke, they passed through a few courtyards.
Along the way, the grass and trees were sparse, the houses were neat, the colorful decorations were numerous, and the gold was inlaid with treasures, making it look extremely luxurious and exquisite.
However, he did not meet anyone along the way.
The entire house was silent, and the sound of footsteps echoed in the empty courtyard.
A moment later, a spacious and magnificent building appeared before him. Judging from its design, it was the main hall.
“Young master, the old master is inside.” The guard said, but he had no intention of going in. Instead, he walked to the corridor and stood there.
PEI Ling glanced at the door that was left ajar and walked forward alone, pushing the door to enter.
In front of him was a grass-patterned marble screen with eight folds, Four Seasons Flowers, and characters embedded with mica pearls. The screen was complex and gorgeous, with an area of more than ten feet wide and wide, blocking most of the sunlight.
After turning around the screen, the light quickly dimmed, and he only felt darkness in his eyes. A sense of oppression hit him in the face.
The Scarlet carpet with twisted branches and Lotus patterns was an inch thick. When he stepped on it, he felt as if he was stepping on soft clouds.
At the head of the table was a Hall carved in ivory, with melons, fruits, and flowers placed on the offering table.
A middle-aged man in his forties or fifties was sitting on a red sandalwood armchair. His beard was long and reached his chest. His face was square and he looked dignified without being angry.
In the entire main hall, there was no one else.
It was obvious that this person was the “master” that the guard had mentioned.
Thus, PEI Ling immediately stepped forward and bowed. “Your son greets you, father.”
The old master nodded slightly and played with a pair of iron balls in his hand. He said, ” “Take a seat first.”
PEI Ling sat down at the lower seat. After sitting down, he saw that old master did not say much and knew that he was most likely waiting for “young master Jie” and “miss Xiang ‘e” to arrive.
He maintained a respectful posture and thought to himself,”if I’m not mistaken, what happened last night should be the most basic test of the” curse.””
If he couldn’t even survive this night, he wouldn’t be qualified to inherit the other’s fortune!
Now that he had come to see this master, it was probably the real beginning of the show.
Just as he was thinking, the old master suddenly opened his mouth and asked, ” “Chen ‘er, did you sleep well last night?”
“I’ve made you worry, father. I slept well,” PEI Ling said cautiously.
The old master’s expression did not change when he heard this. He only nodded his head slightly and immediately shut his mouth.
Following the silence of the two, the main hall gradually became so quiet that one could hear a needle.
The oppressive feeling that had been brought about by the dim light became even heavier.
Soon, footsteps could be heard from outside. Then, a slender and delicate figure turned around the screen and entered the main hall.
After The Pink Bride entered, her gaze immediately landed on PEI Ling and the old master, silently observing the two of them.
When PEI Ling saw an unfamiliar young lady with an egg-shaped face and beautiful eyes, he immediately knew that this should be the “miss Xiang ‘e” that the guard had mentioned earlier. Furthermore, from her reaction, she was most likely a pink bride!
After all, if it was Xiang ‘er herself, she would definitely be very familiar with the family members and would not look at him and the old master with such a cautious and guarded gaze.
At the thought of this, PEI Ling’s expression did not change at all. He only casually glanced at The Pink Bride and began to close his eyes to rest, as if he was just an ordinary patient who was unable to take care of his family.
At this moment, the old master said, ” “Sit down,” he said.
When The Pink Bride heard this, she walked to a seat not far away and sat down.
The three of them didn’t say anything else, and the main hall fell silent again.
After a while, a man in luxurious clothes walked in with steady steps. After ” Yu ” entered, he saw the three people who had arrived first. They were similar to The Pink Bride from before. Even when the old master asked him to sit down, he did not say anything.
Seeing this scene, PEI Ling gradually had an idea of what to do.
This “young master Yi” was most likely one of “Yu” or the greedy slave.
However, he wasn’t sure who it was yet.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, the old master didn’t want to waste any more time and immediately said, ” “My Xiao clan’s ancestor was originally just a commoner who did nothing but farm in the countryside.”
the reason why we can become so rich and enjoy unimaginable wealth is because our ancestors worshipped the faceless immortal.
“Great immortal, you have great magical powers. Be merciful and prosper our clan.”
“All these years, the Xiao clan has always been successful in everything we do.”
all those who dared to stop my family were separated from their families. Their families were destroyed, and even their corpses were not left!
the members of the Xiao clan will remember the great deity’s grace. We can not forget it.
Old master paused and continued, ” I called the three of you here so that you can prepare the next sacrifice.
the requirements for the sacrifice are the same as before.
only by continuing to offer sacrifices like this can our Xiao family continue to prosper and even advance!
“If the sacrifice isn’t prepared, the consequences will be unimaginable!”
the three of you can’t be careless and neglect the great immortal. Do you understand?!
The faceless immortal?
Sacrifice?
PEI Ling frowned and secretly glanced at “miss Xiang ‘e” and “young master Jie.”
“Miss Xiang ‘e” was similar to him, her eyes were filled with confusion, clearly not knowing what the faceless great immortal was.
However,”young master Yi” did not seem to be surprised at all. His expression revealed a sense of depression that could not be removed, as if there was nothing in the world that was worth being happy about. From the beginning to the end, he was depressed.
This young master Jie’s demeanor was not like a greedy slave, but more like depression!
