Wang Tai and Hao Ren also told Xiao Lingyu about Fang Yu's visit to the Imperial Beast Hall. Xiao Lingyu just smiled and reminded them to be careful.
They didn't expect that less than three days after Xiao Lingyu reminded them, Fang Yu would come to the Imperial Beast Hall again. Moreover, he brought a middle-aged woman with him.
When the old steward saw them, he called Xiao Lingyu and the other three who were in charge of feeding the young beasts.
Seeing that Fang Yu and the old steward were very polite and respectful to the woman, Xiao Lingyu guessed that this woman should be an expert of the East Pole Demon Sect. After sweeping her with her mind, she found that the woman had the cultivation of the late stage of the Demon King realm.
"I haven't been here for some time. Zhang De, your Imperial Beast Hall is still as orderly as before. The head of the Imperial Beast Hall didn't make a mistake in letting you take care of it," the woman said in a praising tone while walking casually in the valley.
"Zhang De is just doing his duty. The Imperial Beast Hall can be so orderly because of the sect's good control," the hunchbacked old man calmly replied.
"I've heard that a lot of things have happened in the Imperial Beast Hall in recent days. Not only have young and adult magical beasts rioted and caused losses, but some disciples have also died. There are so many things happening in such a big Imperial Beast Hall. You've suffered a lot," the woman said.
"Master Liu, Zhang De is honored to be able to serve the sect. I don't feel tired." Zhang De replied naturally. It was as if he had said these words countless times or had kept them in his heart for many years.
"Some time ago, the Imperial Beast Hall reported to the sect that they were short of manpower. Are they still short of manpower now?" the woman nodded and asked.
"Master Liu, they are not short of manpower now," the hunchbacked old man replied.
The woman stopped and looked at Xiao Lingyu, Miao Yan, Wang Tai, and Hao Ren. She said, "The Imperial Beast Hall usually only has four people. Three are responsible for feeding young beasts and one is responsible for looking after the adult beasts. You have five people now. You really shouldn't be short of manpower."
"Martial Uncle Liu, you may not know this, but in recent years, the sect has been constantly sending in new young magical beasts, and new adult magical beasts into the cages. However, the sect's experts' demand for magical beasts has decreased, so there are too many magical beasts left in the Imperial Beast Hall. The number of people needed to look after them is no longer the same as before," the old steward said reasonably.
The old steward was very shrewd. He could guess that Master Liu came here under Fang Yu's persuasion. She said that the Imperial Beast Hall didn't lack of manpower. she meant that she wanted to take someone away.
Master Liu didn't think too much. She probably wanted to take away Xiao Lingyu. Xiao Lingyu. and Wang Tai and Wang had just came had just recently arrived. and didn't mind's's's's had. didn't think she wanted wanted wanted to take away Lingyu was's. she wanted wanted wanted to take away.
So, the old steward said that the Imperial Beast Hall didn't have enough manpower.
"Yes, most of the disciples in the sect have received beasts. Moreover, it's very difficult to cultivate one. So, they don't want to come and take more. So, the number of beasts in your Imperial Beast Hall is increasing. After all, we don't dare to recklessly absorb the magical power of these beasts. But, we also don't sell them cheaply."
The woman nodded in agreement. Then, she said in a seemingly kind manner, "How about this? I'll leave Fang Yu here. He'll be your assistant. How about it?"
The old steward's complexion changed. He immediately said, "You can't do that!"
"Oh? Why not? "The woman's complexion didn't change. Instead, she asked in a strange manner.
"Junior Brother Fang is a Heavenly Demon Stage disciple. He's also the leader of the younger generation of the sect. It's a waste of his talent to let him stay in the Imperial Beast Hall. Moreover, this transfer of personnel needs the consent of the Sect Master, "the hunchbacked old man explained.
"Fang Yu, are you willing to stay in the Imperial Beast Hall for a while?" the woman asked Fang Yu.
"Master, this disciple is willing! And I'll do my best to cooperate with Senior Brother Zhang to take care of these beasts. I'll listen to Senior Brother Zhang's arrangements, "Fang Yu replied without thinking.
"As for the Sect Master, I can talk to him. I believe he'll definitely agree," the woman added.
"As long as Junior Brother Fang and the Sect Master have no objections, Zhang De is naturally willing to work with Junior Brother Fang." Zhang De had no choice but to agree. Although he was a hall steward, his cultivation wasn't at the Demon King Stage. There were many things he couldn't say. Even if he had the Sect Master's support, he still had to be careful.
"However …"
The woman's tone suddenly changed. "Fang Yu has always been taking care of things on my side. If I send him to the Imperial Beast Hall to help, I'll have one less disciple who can take care of trivial matters. Zhang De, you won't have any objections if I choose someone from your Imperial Beast Hall, right?"
Zhang De knew he had been forced into a trap. Although Martial Aunt Liu was very polite, she was actually bullying him. Although he was extremely dissatisfied, he could only say, "If Martial Aunt Liu takes a fancy to someone, that's their fortune. How could Zhang De have any objections?"
"Hehe, there's no hurry to choose now. This matter still needs to be decided by the Sect Master. Let's go take a look elsewhere."
After saying this, the woman wandered around the Imperial Beast Hall for a while, then left with Fang Yu.
After the woman left, the old steward's face immediately darkened. He couldn't help but curse in his heart, "Bitch, you've gone too far!"
After sending Fang Yu and Fang Yu off, the old steward's expression returned to normal. With a wave of his sleeve, he returned to his room.
Xiao Lingyu and the other three also dispersed. However, before entering the room, Miao Yan smiled sinisterly at Xiao Lingyu's back and said in a low voice, "Let's see how long you can be proud of yourself!"
Xiao Lingyu was not a fool. Even if he didn't use his feet to think, he could tell that the woman was most likely going to take him away. Then, she would definitely make things difficult for him in every possible way. She might even want to play him to death.
However, Xiao Lingyu was not afraid at all. If the woman really wanted to scheme against him, it would definitely be the stupidest choice she had made in countless years.
The next day, Xiao Lingyu was called to the old steward's room alone.
"You should know why I called you here today, right?" The old steward still looked gloomy.
"I can guess a little," Xiao Lingyu said calmly.
"If Martial Aunt Liu wants to take you away, what do you think?" The old steward asked straightforwardly.
"I hope she can treat me like how you treat me," Xiao Lingyu said sincerely.
"Haha, your hope is a little extravagant. My Martial Aunt Liu doesn't have many other abilities, but she's best at confusing people and torturing disciples. Originally, there were five disciples under her. However, at present, only Fang Yu remains. If it wasn't for the fact that Fang Yu was handsome and knew how to please her, I reckon that he would have already been toyed to death by her. "The old manager said with a bitter smile.
Xiao Lingyu was silent, but his brows were slightly furrowed. It was clear that he was a little displeased.
"Sigh, her method of exchanging people is very clever. I reckon that the sect leader will most likely agree to her request. You have to prepare early. If there's a chance, I will chase Fang Yu away and exchange you back," the old steward said with a sigh.
"Thank you for your care, Sir," Xiao Lingyu said noncommittally.
"I know you have some ability, but I still have to advise you to endure more. As long as the green hills last, there's hope. Not only does my Martial Aunt Liu have a Devil King Late Stage cultivation base, but the reason why she is so presumptuous in the sect and played many disciples to death is because she has a very deep background. Even the Sect Master won't easily touch her, and he hasn't even reprimanded her. "The old steward kindly reminded.
"Kid, remember." Xiao Lingyu nodded, but in his heart, he was doubtful. "Even the sect leader of the East Pole Devil Sect doesn't dare to ask. Could it be that the Spirit Demon expert is her backer?"
Sure enough, a few days later, the woman surnamed Liu and Fang Yu came to the Imperial Beast Hall.
Before they came, the old steward had already received news from the sect's higher-ups, so he wasn't surprised at all.
After a hypocritical exchange of pleasantries, Fang Yu stayed in the Imperial Beast Hall, while Xiao Lingyu was taken away by the woman with a smile.
Fang Yu and the old steward addressed each other as martial brothers. Although he was nominally an assistant to the old steward, the old steward didn't really treat him as a servant. Naturally, Fang Yu's status was much higher than Miao Yan's group.
With Fang Yu's arrival, Miao Yan's life would naturally become a lot better. However, Wang Tai and Hao Ren would be in a difficult situation. Xiao Lingyu had previously reminded them to tightly hug the old steward's big tree.
Xiao Lingyu didn't want to follow the woman surnamed Liu, but this was the will of the East Pole Devil Sect's higher-ups, so he had to comply. Of course, he also wanted to see what kind of tricks this woman, a late Devil King, had.
The biggest reason why Xiao Lingyu followed her was because he wasn't afraid at all.
In fact, Xiao Lingyu just wanted to watch a good show.
The woman surnamed Liu took Xiao Lingyu away, which meant that Xiao Lingyu had truly become a disciple of the East Pole Devil Sect and could call those Heavenly Demon cultivators brothers. If this happened to Wang Tai and Hao Ren, they would definitely think that they had hit the jackpot.
The woman surnamed Liu's cultivation place was behind a water curtain in the east of the East Pole Devil Sect's encampment.
The water curtain was actually a waterfall, but its scale wasn't very big, only a few hundred meters wide and sixty meters high.
Behind the water curtain was an immortal's cave, where the woman surnamed Liu cultivated. It was said to be one of the best cultivation places in the East Pole Devil Sect.
After being taken to the immortal's cave, Xiao Lingyu felt that the demonic spiritual power here was ten times richer than the Imperial Beast Hall's valley. He secretly thought that this woman really knew how to pick a place.
The immortal's cave was not small, and there were dozens of secret rooms and storage rooms connected by several winding passages.
The woman surnamed Liu took Xiao Lingyu to the end of a passage and pointed to several secret rooms in front of them, saying, "You can cultivate here from now on. I'm tired today, so you can familiarize yourself with the surrounding environment."
After saying that, the woman surnamed Liu twisted her waist and yawned as she left.
Xiao Lingyu didn't wander around. He casually pushed open the door of a secret room and went inside to meditate.
