"He is supposed to be at the Furnace Hall now," the primary chief senior responded and dashed off without a trace. And the other two had long vanished on Lin Xiao bidding them to work, as they couldn't wait but to try the pellets Lin Xiao just offered them.
Hardly had Lin Xiao attempted to extend his gratitude when he went bewildered by the prompt disappearance of the chief seniors, who left him all alone in a vast yard with immediate effect.
Nevertheless, he soon left them behind and made his way to the Furnace Hall straightforward.
He bumped into an acquaintance the moment he arrived at the Furnace Hall — Wang Manyun sat right in front of the closed gate of the Furnace Hall, pouting her mouth. It seemed that someone just offended her.
Nevertheless, as soon as she heard the footsteps, she lifted her head and recognized Lin Xiao right away, beaming radiantly. Then she stood up and called him.
Since Lin Xiao didn't have that many connections, he was quite pleased on seeing her and asked, "Well, who made you blue? Tell me, I'm gonna sort out the bastard for you."
"Brother Lin, I've already..." Wang Manyun caught herself in mid-sentence. She looked at Lin Xiao apologetically, stretching her cute tongue out.
Lin Xiao smiled on seeing that. Though his martial cultivation only reached the second level of the Refining Divine Realm, his spiritual conception had pirouetted to a great extent since his practice of The Doctrines of Limbo. He had long sensed the great increase in Wang Manyun's martial capacity.
Undoubtedly, her martial cultivation had scaled new heights.
Successfully picking up on her intention, Lin Xiao was not irritated at all. Instead, he felt pretty happy for her progress.
Having a look at the closed gate, Lin Xiao stepped up the stairs but soon got stopped by Wang Manyun.
"Brother Lin, don't go in there. Wu Gui is in," Wang Manyun said in agitation.
"He will not bite you," Lin Xiao said with bewilderment.
"Brother Lin, for your information, my brother had been messing with Wu Gui recently as if he had been possessed by Devil. And he even told me off upon my attempted entrance just now. He said the Furnace Hall is of great significance to the Taixuan Sect. How come he is allowed to go in there but I can't!" Wang Manyun complained.
Then Lin Xiao finally figured it out — Wang Manyun was utterly in the dark about what had been going on these days. No wonder it grieved her to get warded off.
"That's pretty outrageous. I'll take care of that," Lin Xiao responded with a feinted fury, pulling a long face.
Wang Manyun soon shook her head on hearing that, as she thought Lin Xiao didn't have what it took to confront Wu Gui, who was a direct disciple of the patriarch.
However, Lin Xiao went up straightforward regardless of Wang Manyun's rejection and knocked on the gate.
"Manyun, don't make trouble here," Wang Responded inside the hall after a short while.
"It's me," Lin Xiao said briefly.
Wang Manyun not only failed to stop Lin Xiao from knocking but also failed to stop her brother from answering.
What happened next struck her dumb right away.
