Chapter 2253: Chapter 2253: All Sent Out

…

Outside the Demon Heart Hall, the little baby was being held by his own father, craning his neck to peer inside, but he couldn’t see a thing.

“Daddy, there’s no one. It’s empty.”

The little baby, seeing no one around, turned to his dad and said.

Qian Jiyun found it odd too. They had decided to enter the Demon Heart Hall first, skipping Jun Lin Hall. Even outside Jun Lin Hall, there was no one guarding it—it felt completely deserted.

“What’s going on?”

An Jiuyue blinked and looked at Qian Jiyun.

Even if the Demon Heart Hall was newly built, it shouldn’t feel this empty and desolate, right?

“Let’s go inside and take a look.”

Qian Jiyun had no idea either; they needed to find someone to ask in order to figure out what was happening.

Perhaps it had something to do with the Evil Spirit Universe again.

Just as they were about to take a step inside, someone came out to greet them. It was Bai Ze, someone they were familiar with. However, at the moment, Bai Ze appeared somewhat disheveled, like he hadn’t slept in ages, with dark shadows under his eyes.

“Bai Ze.”

Hearing the familiar voice, Bai Ze froze for a moment before reacting. His face lit up with surprise and joy. “Big Brother, Sister-in-law, you’re back?”

“What’s going on with you? Hit a bottleneck in your cultivation?” An Jiuyue asked, looking at him.

Otherwise, why did he look so drained and deflated, so much so that she almost didn’t recognize him?

“Ah, don’t even mention it.”

At the question, he heaved a deep sigh.

What bottleneck? That wasn’t even the case. It’s just that too many things had happened recently on Wulong Mountain, forcing him into this state.

“Big Brother, Sister-in-law, let’s head inside first. I’ll instruct someone to prepare…”

He wanted to say he’d instruct someone to make some food, assuming they must have been rushing along the way and hadn’t eaten properly, but halfway through his sentence, he trailed off.

How many people were even left in the Demon Heart Hall now?

“Big Brother, Sister-in-law, if you don’t mind, how about I make you a bowl of noodles?” he asked tentatively.

Although he couldn’t prepare anything fancy, he could at least manage a bowl of noodles. Lately, he’d been making his own meals anyway.

“You? What about everyone else?” An Jiuyue raised an eyebrow and asked.

Not just in the Demon Heart Hall, even in Jun Lin Hall, could it really be the case that no one was around to cook? Impossible, wasn’t it? She didn’t believe that could be the case.

“They’ve all been sent out.”

Bai Ze propped his hand on his hip, explaining helplessly.

Over the past year, too many things had happened on Wulong Mountain. People were dying left and right, with many corpses left unattended. He had no choice but to send out the people from the Demon Heart Hall and Jun Lin Hall to investigate.

But despite investigating for so long, they had found no clear answers. It seemed like those people had all died inexplicably.

“Let’s go in first. Sister-in-law, is this Little Nuonuo? I’m your uncle!” He looked at the little baby in Qian Jiyun’s arms and introduced himself.

“Do you still remember? We’ve met before, you know.”

He had met the little baby before and had watched him grow to this point.

Hearing this, Yuu Rong, who was standing nearby, felt indignant. What was he talking about? He was the little baby’s real uncle, wasn’t he?

How could someone else pop up and claim the title of uncle without asking for his permission first?

However, he didn’t say anything. He didn’t know much about Wulong Mountain, and Big Brother and Sister-in-law hadn’t introduced him to the man in front of him yet. For now, he decided to let it go and not argue about it.

“Hello, Uncle.”

The little baby peeked out of his dad’s arms and looked toward Bai Ze.
