The official quickly overtook Ning Qi and the middle-aged man with a group of constables.
After they left, the middle-aged strong man smiled at Ning Qi and said, "These guys from the Six Fans Super Arrester Sect always say things after the fact. Some time ago, the grandson of a famous senior in our Sishui Commandery was killed by the little devil. If the Six Fans Super Arrester Sect had the intention, they should have caught the little devil earlier. They always wait for the person to die before taking action."
As he spoke, the middle-aged man shook his head. There was a hint of disdain in his eyes.
"Uncle Hu, who's the senior you're talking about?"
Ning Qi smiled.
"Huh? You don't know about this? Ning Qi, don't tell me you're from another prefecture?"
Hu Yuan was a little surprised.
"Yes, I've walked all the way from Changshan Prefecture."
Ning Qi nodded with a smile.
"I see."
Hu Yuan understood, then shook his head with a smile. "You're so young, yet you've come all the way here from so far away. Didn't you encounter any demonic beasts or bandits along the way?"
"I'm lucky I didn't encounter any. Otherwise, I'd really like to see what demonic beasts look like."
Ning Qi was slightly disappointed.
Hu Yuan's smile widened. "If you really encountered a demonic beast, you'd be crying. But you're extremely lucky. You didn't encounter any of these things on such a long journey."
He paused. "The senior I just mentioned is the master of Ancient Pool Manor. He's ranked first among the top ten experts of Sishui Prefecture, Lunar Hand Gu Tianya.
Senior Gu is already over eighty years old, but he's still strong. With his Lunar Hand, he once fought against three people of the same cultivation level without losing. He's regarded as the number one in Sishui Prefecture, the existence closest to Foundation Establishment.
Unfortunately, around two months ago, Senior Gu's most beloved grandson went out to travel and encountered the Little She-Devil. Along with a group of thirty-eight guards, all of them were killed by the Little She-Devil. Not a single one survived. "
Ancient Pool Manor.
Ning Qi memorized the name.
Several hours later, the sun had almost set in the west. The sky darkened slightly. Ning Qi and Hu Yuan finally arrived at a town before the sky darkened.
This town was about the same size as Black Ox Town. In fact, it was much more prosperous.
"We're finally home."
Hu Yuan sighed.
"Uncle's home is here?"
Ning Qi laughed.
"Yes, Tongtai Town is the ancestral land of the Hu Family. We have lived here for generations and are quite famous. It's getting late now. Ning Qi, why don't you come back to my house with me for a night and continue the journey the next day?"
Hu Yuan sent out an invitation.
Ning Qi smiled and nodded, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Uncle Hu."
"Not at all. I see that you have the courage to go out and explore at such a young age.
I have a lot of rooms in my mansion. Let's go. "
Hu Yuan chuckled.
Not long after, Ning Qi followed Hu Yuan to the front of a house. This house had a vermilion gate, and there were eight golden rivets nailed on both sides of the gate. There was also a stone lion that was as tall as a person sitting on the left and right sides of the gate. It looked very imposing. Hu Yuan said that his family had been operating in Tong Tai Town for generations, and he was indeed not lying.
Creak.
The door slowly opened and a white-haired old man walked out. When he saw Hu Yuan, he immediately went forward and bowed. "Master, you're back."
"Yes, I brought a little brother back. You can arrange a meal for him later. Don't neglect the guest."
Hu Yuan smiled.
"Yes, Master."
The white-haired old man glanced at Ning Qi, a kind smile on his face, and nodded slightly.
Seeing this, Ning Qi also nodded.
After entering the Hu Family, a maid immediately came to arrange for Ning Qi to change and take a bath. After taking a bath and putting on his clothes, Ning Qi was led by the maid to the hall of the Hu Family.
Along the way, the maid who led the way secretly glanced at Ning Qi from time to time, her eyes full of curiosity.
"Miss, is there something dirty on my face?"
Ning Qi smiled.
The maid was like a frightened kitten, and her face turned red. "Young Master, I know I was wrong."
"What did you do wrong?
It's just that you kept peeking at me, and I thought there was something dirty on my face. "
Ning Qi smiled.
"It's just that Master has never invited a guest as young as you, so I'm a little curious. Please don't tell Master about this, or I'll definitely be locked in the cellar."
The maid said with a little fear. Ning Qi noticed that when she mentioned the cellar, her emotions fluctuated the most.
Not long after, Ning Qi came to the hall, and Hu Yuan was already sitting at the head of the table. Seeing Ning Qi's arrival, Hu Yuan's face was instantly filled with a smile. "Ning Qi, come, come. See if these dishes are to your liking. If not, I'll ask the chef to make them again."
"Uncle Hu, you're too polite. There's no need to be so particular when we're outside."
Ning Qi smiled, and sat opposite Hu Yuan.
At this time, a middle-aged beauty walked into the hall with a girl around fourteen or fifteen years old. Seeing this, Hu Yuan introduced them to Ning Qi. "Ning Qi, this is my wife, and this is my daughter. You two should get to know each other."
The beautiful middle-aged woman and the little girl both looked at Ning Qi, sizing him up a few times. Then, a shy smile suddenly appeared on the little girl's face, and she nodded at Hu Yuan imperceptibly. The beautiful middle-aged woman chuckled and said, "Ning Qi is so fair and clean, he's so handsome."
Ning Qi smiled, and did not say anything.
"You two take your time."
The middle-aged beauty smiled, and turned to leave with the girl.
"Come, Ning Qi, eat. Treat this as your own home, don't stand on ceremony with me."
Hu Yuan said enthusiastically.
Ning Qi glanced at the dishes on the table. They really looked, smelled, and looked delicious, and it was very appetizing. However, Ning Qi only poured a glass of wine, and after drinking it with Hu Yuan, he quietly changed the topic and talked about other things.
Hu Yuan, on the other hand, smacked his lips, as if he was reminiscing about the wine just now. Then, he laughed and ate the dishes on the table, and told Ning Qi some of the stories and stories of Tong Tai Town.
This meal lasted for half an hour, and Ning Qi's eyes became more and more lifeless. In the end, Hu Yuan laughed out loud. "Ning Qi, a good name. But it's a pity that you're wandering the Jianghu alone at such a young age, and you're not even a martial artist. Isn't this a big fat sheep?"
"Master, recently, the demoness from the Heaven Chord Sect has been wandering around this area. Her purpose is very likely to be to find the disciples from the Heaven Chord Sect that you put in the cellar some time ago. This guy looks extraordinary, and he's not an ordinary disciple. I think it's best not to cause any trouble during this period of time."
The butler walked to Hu Yuan's side, bowed, and suggested.
"Hmph, the demoness from the Heaven Chord Sect is nothing. Although she's talented, she killed Gu Tianya's most beloved grandson. She can't even protect herself now. I, Hu Yuan, have already reached the eighth layer of Qi Refining Realm. Even if she comes, I'm not afraid. Go and search him, and see if there's anything good on him."
Hu Yuan laughed domineeringly. From his words, there was no fear towards the demoness at all. The fear he showed earlier was obviously to mislead others.
