“Missing? What do you mean? ” Her gaze turned thoughtful and her voice was a bit cold.
“At noon, he said he would go out to buy something and then come back, but nobody’s seen him until now. I’ve been searching everywhere and he’s still not been found. I asked around and got no news.”
Du Fan spoke with a slight frown. “I also asked at the gate. But, the gatekeeper told me that there were too many people going in and out of this place and had no impression of him.”
Feng Jiu walked out and went downstairs. When she reached the outer part of the inn, she looked at the sky to gauge the time of day and her eyes jolted.
“Young Master, do you think he was caught by the Centenarian Mountain’s people?” Xiang Hua asked.
She looked at him and asked, “Who else besides them?” They had been here for only a few days and hadn’t made enemies with anyone. What’s more, Little Bai was the guy they caught. Who else could do this besides the Centenarian Mountain’s people?
“It seems they were afraid that I wouldn’t go, so they caught Little White. What’s their purpose to insist on me going there?” That day, when she and Little White entered the array, the black-robed man asked them to leave. But today, when she didn’t go, they came to their door instead?
“It’s getting dark now, Master. Shall we go?” Du Fan asked, his gaze fell on her.
“We’re going, how can we not go? Since they even used kidnapping to coerce me into going, will they give up if I’m not going? ” She said in a slightly chilly voice to the two of them. “You two stay here!”
“Master, we’re going with you.” Du Fan asserted.
“Me too.”
Xiang Hua also spoke out. He looked at her. “There’s no reason for Young Master to go yet we’re staying here. Besides, I also want to see if they are dead or still alive.”
Seeing this, she shot them a glance. “Let’s go!” She took them to the Centenarian Mountain.
When they came to the Centenary Mountain, the sky was completely dark. Up in the mountain, Du Fan lit a fire to illuminate the road. The atmosphere was still eerie. A gust of chilly wind blew in from time to time, making people shiver.
Feng Jiu, walking at the front, didn’t look unusual. It’s nothing more than a ghost. She hasn’t encountered any ghosts, but this place gave her such a weird and dangerous feeling that she didn’t want to set foot in it. Unexpectedly, even though she didn’t want to come, the people here wanted her to come.
In that case, she would take a look at what horrible place this is!
“Ugh…”
A sound drifted in accompanied by the gust of wind like a ghost howling in the ears of those three and echoed faintly. Before the sound died down, a rustling sound was heard from the surrounding trees and underbrush. It was as if someone was walking, but no figure was seen.
“Thud…thud…thud…”
Some footsteps that didn’t belong to them were heard behind. The sounds were chaotic and distinct. Xiang Hua walked to the rear, glared with eyes like a tiger and swept across with his sharp sword.
“Deliberately deceiving people!”
“Ah…”
With the fierce attack of the sword, there seemed to be a panic sound. A swishing airflow was heard in the night and the sound of footsteps behind disappeared as if they had never existed.
“Hehe…”
However, when the footsteps’ sound disappeared, there was a strange laugh in the air. The laughter seemed to come from far away and came closer until it stopped near them.
Suddenly, a white ghost floated in front of Feng Jiu. His face was deathly pale and black hair covered half of his face. A pair of eyes emitting strange and horrifying green light was peering at Feng Jiu…
