"Old man, is there perhaps some misunderstanding, a mistake?"
I felt the elder's hostility towards Yu Longting and was somewhat baffled, so I tried to break the ice.
Out of the corner of my eye, I sized up the room, which was no more than forty square meters.
With two single beds, everything was very simple.
But there were seven or eight young men and women, crowding around the elder who sat in a chair.
The old man turned around, his gaze clear but weak, "Although I am old, I am not blind. That's a snake demon by your side, isn't it?"
"He is the Snake Lord," I explained to the elder.
The elder sneered, "The Snake Lord is still a snake demon."
"Lin Huan, have you gone senile in your old age?"
Yu Longting recognized the elder and called out his name, "What are you? Bringing a rabble and daring to cause trouble on my turf, you really take yourself too seriously."
He flicked his sleeves, and several Black Snakes flew out of them.
The Black Snakes, fast as lightning, coiled around the necks of the eight young people beside Lin Huan.
The eight youths, each armed with a Money Sword, suddenly drew their swords in an attempt to kill the Black Snakes around their necks.
Blood-red snakes swiftly slithered out of Yu Longting's sleeves, entangling all the limbs of these people in the blink of an eye.
Even smaller Silk Snakes burrowed into their eyes, ears, mouths, and noses.
They screamed in agony, unable to move their bodies an inch.
"Yu Longting! Do not push people too far, or else, don't blame me for being impolite!" Lin Huan burst out in anger, suddenly standing up.
His dry and old hands pulled a stack of talisman paper from his chest.
Yu Longting, considerably taller than the short-statured Lin Huan, looked down at him with scornful eyes, "Old man, don't act recklessly. Each move you make will cost a disciple's life."
"A deceitful one, always using sneaky tactics, afraid to face me in a fair fight," Lin Huan was particularly angry, glaring at Yu Longting while anxiously watching the eight youths.
The faces of the youths turned ashen, with the venomous snakes coiled around them, mouths agape, revealing their fangs, waiting for Yu Longting's order to strike a deadly blow.
"The Lin Family's Exorcism Technique is formidable, and even though I could defeat it, I'd rather not learn it the hard way! Your place is filthy and stinks; my wife and I don't wish to stay any longer."
Yu Longting bent over, patted Lin Huan's face with his palm, and said arrogantly, "Hurry up and remove the curse from that useless servant of mine. Be smarter in the future, and don't provoke those you can't afford to; understand?" Thɪs chapter is updated by NovelHub(.)net
"Who provoked whom first? Snakes truly excel at biting back!" Lin Huan trembled with rage, puffing his cheeks and glaring.
Yu Longting looked at Lin Huan as if he were an idiot, "Of course it was you who provoked me. Cut out the damned sarcasm. With just the minor power of your Exorcist Lin Family, what makes you think you are even worth a second glance from me?"
"Then I ask you, who is she?" Lin Huan's gaze shifted to me.
"My wife, of course," Yu Longting replied.
"Are you called Su Wan?" Lin Huan asked me.
I nodded, "Old man, do you know me?"
"You are my granddaughter!" Lin Huan said emphatically, "The bloodline of my Lin Family."
It was as if a loud explosion went off next to my ears.
I felt as though I had been struck by five rolls of Heavenly Thunder, seared on the outside and tender on the inside, this old man...
He couldn't be teasing me, could he?
I struggled to speak, "Are you... joking with me? I don't even know you, how could you possibly be my... grandfather?"
"Wanwan, grandpa will explain this matter to you later!"
After speaking to me, Lin Huan glared at Yu Longting, "Monster! You forcibly took my granddaughter, that's a fact, right?"
"I admit, my wife was taken by me, but to say she is your granddaughter is laughable. Old man, with your short stature and pumpkin-like face, could you really have such a beautiful granddaughter? Aren't you afraid that boasting too much might twist your tongue?"
Yu Longting mockingly sized up Lin Huan from head to toe, a wicked smirk on his face that could infuriate the dead.
