Chapter 109 . 3 : The Mysterious Old Man
Qing Yu raised an eyebrow, a little surprised at his answer and her eyes then sparkled with a mischievous glint . “From your words, the meaning I gathered is that the reason all you people in Cloud Heaven have a lifespan of a few hundred or even several thousand years is because all of you are so vicious hearted and utterly unscrupulous up there?”
Lou Jun Yao was taken aback by those words a moment before he gave a soft helpless laugh . “That line of thinking, works as well . ”
Qing Yu immediately twisted her face up in disdain and walked a distance further away from him before saying softly . “How frightening . Looks like I had better keep my distance from now onwards, or I might unknowingly fall into one of your schemes one of these days . ”
“… . . ” [This little fox sometimes really just knows how to get on one's nerves . ]
As the two of them bantered, a loud sound suddenly rang out up in front . A rather elderly sounding voice then reached them from afar: “All of you have come a long way and I regret the tardiness in welcoming you . But as this place is where the ghost race reside, it is not suited for the living to remain in here too long . ”
“Cease this ghostly and mystifying farce and show yourself . ” The grey robed man snorted with cold derision . He swept his eyes quickly around, and was surprised that he could not find any signs of the person who spoke .
Bai Zhi Yan looked questioningly at him, and the grey robed man shook his head with a surprised look on his face .
“This old man had guarded this place for more than forty years and I it is my first time seeing such a entity in here . Pardon my lack of manners . ” That voice rang out speaking slowly, and an old man wearing old and tattered clothes gradually showed himself .
It was a very short dwarf, only about half a grown man's height . If not for his white beard and hair, one would have thought he was a child if one did not look carefully . A faint black mist swirled around him, the black shroud giving off a sinister and frightening feeling .
“You are the Master Exorcist guarding this place?” Bai Zhi Yan arched up an eyebrow and asked in surprise . “Why did you capture our people?” Although the dwarf was short and did not look extraordinary, but he possessed a very powerful aura which made him seem to be an exceptional exorcist .
Hearing that, the old man's face did not change but his gaze passed fleetingly over Qing Yu briefly . “Capture? That isn't true . This old man was trying to save these two little dolls . ”
He had actually seen through their disguises with just one glance and knew they were women dressed up as men . His eyes were quite astoundingly perceptive .
“Everytime night fell, a great number of ghostly ghouls would climb out from underground and engage in mindless slaughter . I think that you would have witnessed that when you came here and if this old man did not take them away from there, I fear they would have met with misfortune . ”
“Then why would you want to save us?” Qing Yu asked with crafty suspicion .
[There were so many people in the Afterlife Loft, so why did he only save the two of them? That was a rather suspicious point . ]
The old man then showed a highly benevolent smile . “Because in that place, those other people are all already dead . ”
[It was all dead people in there… . . ?]
Those words said in a light fleeting tone shocked the group of people them .
[What did he say?]
[That the people in the Afterlife Loft were all dead? How is that even possible! ?]
