Lin Jin deduced from the perspective of spells. His guess wasn't entirely out of his league, but it was only possible if he had thoroughly studied this barrier technique.
Lin Jin didn't want to think too much about it now. He had expended too much energy and his body was stiff from the old dragon's frosty winds. He needed time to recover. Not only him, but White Ape was also heavily injured. He was now lying on the side, panting heavily.
Xiao Huo fared better as he stayed by Lin Jin's side.
Under such circumstances, Lin Jin couldn't go to the Visitation Hall. He could only recover first while performing acupuncture to stimulate his blood circulation and expel the frost.
Simultaneously, all six visitors had arrived in the Visitation Hall. He Qing looked anxious as she stared at the steel door on the second floor, waiting for the curator. She was no longer her usual lively self.
This piqued the others' curiosity.
"Sis, what's wrong? Did you run into some trouble? Tell me about it. " Madam Ghost Child stepped forward with a smile. Thanks to the Curator's treatment, her condition had been improving day by day. She was no longer as frightening as before. No matter how one looked at her, she looked like a gentle young married woman, like a ripe peach.
There were only two women in the Visitation Hall. Although there was a huge age gap between them, they were very close to each other.
He Qing clutched the corner of her shirt, looking rather haggard. She said, "Sister Ghost Child, I'm in trouble but you might not be able to help me."
If someone else had said this, Ghost Child might have gotten angry. But she knew He Qing's personality so she didn't flare up. Instead, she approached her and asked softly.
The two women were having a private conversation so no one else could eavesdrop.
On the other side, Black Crow chuckled and pulled Ye Yuzhou to Jiang Ziqi's side.
"Old Jiang, the berries you brought last time were delicious and full of spiritual energy. Did you bring some this time?" Black Crow was a bloodthirsty killer and even more delicious. Seeing that the curator wasn't here yet, he couldn't hold it in anymore and came over to ask for some food.
At the same time, he handed Jiang Ziqi a bottle of aged wine.
Jiang Ziqi smiled and pointed to a pouch beside him. Black Crow understood and immediately picked it up. Sure enough, it was filled with berries of various colors.
Old Tian shamelessly came over and the four of them started chatting.
They could talk about anything under the sky.
There was no need to mention Black Crow. Jiang Ziqi used to be a bandit in his early years, so the things he had seen and heard were unimaginable to most people. The only weak one was Old Tian. However, ever since Old Tian changed his attitude, he had at least adjusted his attitude. If he didn't understand something, he would listen more and speak less. He was already very satisfied with the occasional interjection. After all, being able to interject meant that he could integrate into the group, which was a good thing.
As they chatted, they started talking about Snake Country. Black Crow whispered, "Old Ye, you mentioned that Curator has a disciple in the Jade Dragon Kingdom."
Ye Yuzhou nodded. "It's true. I've even met the curator outside."
"Really?"
All of a sudden, not only Hei Ya, but even Jiang Ziqi looked over curiously, waiting for Ye Yuzhou to explain.
Ye Yuzhou laughed heartily. "Back then, Curator was wearing a strange tree bark mask. He stood on the hill and with a wave of his hand, he suppressed all the beasts. That kind of pressure was indeed unique to Curator."
"Yeah. With Curator's cultivation, he's invincible even without his pet beast," Jiang Ziqi added.
Black Crow looked up at the second floor and muttered, "Curator isn't here yet."
Everyone was stunned.
That's right. Something wasn't right this time. Under normal circumstances, the Visitation Hall had been open for more than two hours so Curator should be here by now.
"Did something happen?" Old Tian interrupted at this moment.
But clearly, no one took his speculation seriously.
"Curator is invincible. What could possibly happen?" Black Crow asked.
He recalled the first time he visited the Visitation Hall. Back then, he wanted to fight Curator but his pet beast was defeated in an instant.
He still couldn't forget the pressure back then.
"It's fine. We still have plenty of time so it's fine to wait a little longer." Ye Yuzhou seemed to have thought of something.
He knew that Lin Jin was going to the royal capital with Lu Bin but he didn't know what Lin Jin was up to. However, if Lin Jin's disciple had gone to the royal capital, Curator might have gone as well.
Ye Yuzhou was deep in thought when He Qing walked over.
"Senior Ye!" He Qing bowed, hesitant to speak. Ye Yuzhou could tell that she had something to say so he walked to the side to talk to her alone.
"You must be Senior Ye Yuzhou of Maple City's Friar Association?" He Qing went straight to the point.
Ye Yuzhou was startled.
However, he had a hunch about He Qing's identity.
He nodded before saying, "I heard you say that your surname is He and it's the surname of Jade Dragon Kingdom's royalty. You must be a member of the royal family, right?"
He Qing nodded. "Princess He Qing."
"Oh, it's you, Seventh Princess." Ye Yuzhou saluted.
What a coincidence. To think there was a member of the Jade Dragon Kingdom's royal family in the Visitation Hall. And by the looks of it, she was the first visitor here.
He Qing suddenly said, "I've met Curator's disciple."
Ye Yuzhou's heart skipped a beat. He knew that He Qing was talking about Lin Jin.
He Qing told him about what happened after Lin Jin entered the royal capital. Ghost Child came over and stood beside her, but she didn't say a word. "I met Appraiser Lin the other day.
"After I met Appraiser Lin the other day, I was locked up in my yard and I couldn't go out anymore. There were many people guarding outside so I knew something must have happened outside. However, they didn't know that I could visit the living room. When Curator arrives later, I'll have to inform him and have him inform Appraiser Lin to be careful. I suspect that someone is trying to harm him," He Qing said anxiously. "Appraiser Lin, you're not going to let me in.
Someone like Ye Yuzhou had heard about the curse of Jade Dragon Kingdom's royal family. He didn't expect Lin Jin to be dealing with this matter this time.
Ye Yuzhou knew how deep the royal capital's waters were. Several of the royal family's princesses had died prematurely because of this curse. If it was easy to solve, how could the Jade Dragon Kingdom's power not have allowed it to drag on until now?
Either the enemy was too strong for them to handle, or they were entangled with deep-rooted interests. At the very least, they were forced to do so. Regardless of the reason, the royal family's curse wasn't something that could be easily solved.
Could it be that Curator was late today because of this?
Ye Yuzhou guessed.
If that was the case, this would be troublesome. If Curator spoke up, should Ye Yuzhou get involved?
For a moment, Ye Yuzhou fell into deep thought.
Just then, the steel door to the second floor was finally pushed open.
