Chapter 2257: Chapter 2257: There Are People Here
"Alright, I got it."
Bai Ze also felt that the last part needed to be explicitly mentioned.
If it wasnāt brought up, when Mo Aotian returned, heād probably drag Gu Chi back too. Gu Chi staying outside was saving them quite a bit of effort. Not like Mo Aotian, who did nothing all day but find ways to mess things up.
"Bai Ze, go inform Master Mo and ask the Family Heads of the other clans to come to the Demon Heart Hall for a meeting. You can decide the specific time."
An Jiuyue thought for a moment and instructed.
When dealing with the Evil Spirit Universe, they couldnāt rely on just the few of them. Whoever they could call on for help, they had to call.
...
During the next few days, everyone played their part and focused on their tasks.
Qian Jiyun immersed himself in closed-door cultivation within the space. As for An Jiuyue, she remained in the space as well, her actions a mystery to everyone.
One day, Mo Aotian returned, looking dejected. When he saw the empty Demon Heart Hall, a profound sense of bitterness arose within him.
Why was he the only one summoned back?
And he wasnāt even allowed to drag Gu Chi back with him! Returning alone felt so miserable.
He really wanted to go back, but it wasnāt an option. Both the Hall Master and the High Priest had commanded his return, and if he dared to defy their orders, theyād surely make him suffer the consequences.
"Where is everyone? Why is there no one here?"
He knew the people from the two halls were busy, so it was normal for there to be no one around. But still, having not a single soul in sight was a little too much.
Whereās Bai Ze? Wasnāt he supposed to be guarding the Demon Heart Hall? Did he leave too?
"Thereās someone here."
Suddenly, a soft, sweet voice rang out.
Mo Aotian looked in the direction of the voice and saw a small head poking out from under a table. Then, a tiny body carefully crawled out from underneath.
"Thereās someone, thereās someone. Iām here, arenāt I? Who are you looking for? Tell me, and Iāll take you to them." The little baby raised his chubby hand high and said cheerfully.
Mo Aotian: "!!!"
When did Demon Heart Hall stoop so low as to rely on a little baby to guard it?
What was Bai Ze even doing? Did he forget what kind of place Demon Heart Hall was? Even if he had to leave, he shouldāve arranged for someone reliable to watch over it!
"Iām looking for the High Priest Demon Heart and Lord Qian."
Though he was grumbling internally, Mo Aotian couldnāt resist teasing the little baby.
"The High Priest Demon Heart, I know them."
The little baby nodded, signaling that he knew. That was his mommy, after all.
"But this āLord Qianā... who could that be? The one with the surname Qian... Oh, I know, itās my fake dad! No, wait, real dad." He muttered to himself for a moment, then looked up at Mo Aotian.
"Uncle, are you looking for my daddy and mommy? Theyāre both in closed-door training and canāt come out. But my little uncle is hereāI can take you to meet him."
"Your daddy and mommy?"
Mo Aotian was shocked, but soon, he figured out who the little baby was.
Bai Ze had mentioned before that Jiyun and the High Priest had a talkative son who would blurt out whatever came to mind. Clearly, that had to be this little one.
So, the "little uncle" he spoke of must be Bai Ze, right?
"Bai Ze, huh? Is he in the hall? Iāll go find him myself." With that, he started stepping closer to pick up the little baby.
However, as soon as the little baby saw him approaching, he backed away several steps. "Stay right there! Donāt come any closer. If you take one more step, Iāll call someone to come beat you up!"
Wei Na had warned him to always be cautious of others. Heād been kidnapped before, and even though this was Demon Heart Hall, it didnāt guarantee that everyone who entered was trustworthy.
