2974 How Did You Get In?


    The elderly man was chattering the whole way. Since he saw that the person in the spirit beast car was silent, he kept talking to himself while following them until he arrived at Feng Jiu’s manor. The gate opened, and the beast carriage entered, while the elderly man was locked outside.


    “Hey, is that it? I’ve been rmending myself for the job the whole time. Why are you so ruthless?” The elderly man yelled and talked to himself outside. After circling the manor, he crouched and rested in the front corner of the manor.


    “Master, who is the elderly man outside? He is squatting in front of our gate and does not appear to be willing to leave.” Leng Hua said. When the gate was shut, the man was still outside and not leaving.


    “He followed me halfway. I have no idea where he came from.” Feng Jiu said while feeding Hao’er. “Don’t pay attention to him; if he can’te in, he’ll leave.”


    Leng Hua stopped paying attention to the elderly man outside and continued to report. “Master, Qingcheng is leaving tonight. Tomorrow, Luo Yu and the others will go on their first mission, a second-tier escort mission.”


    “I see.” Feng Jiu replied. After feeding Little Hao’er, Feng Jiu passed him to Leng Shuang and then returned to the courtyard to prepare the medicine.


    The night fell. After bidding farewell to Feng Jiu, Bai Qingcheng used the cover of the night to make her way out via the back mountain and left Cardinal Point City that same night.


    As the night wore on, the elderly man squatting outside the manor noticed that it was drizzling due to the cold wind outside, so he slipped into the manor quickly and found a shelter from the wind and rain inside the manor’s gate to lie down and rest.


    Nobody in the manor even noticed his entry. Because a formation was set up that required people to pass through it in order to enter the manor, but the formation inside the manor had no warnings, no one was aware that the elderly man was now inside.


    Leng Hua was patrolling the mansion in the wee hours of the following day. When he arrived at the outer courtyard and saw the elderly man reclining at the gate, his eyes narrowed. He walked forward, approached the elderly man’s side, and looked at him, and the elderly man was still sound asleep as if he didn’t notice anyone was approaching.


    “How did you get in?”


    Leng Hua asked, his gaze fixed on the elderly man. He took a look around. The formation array was not disturbed, the gate was not broken, and the boundary that surrounded the entire house was not breached, so how did he enter quietly?


    The elderly man continued to snore as if he hadn’t heard him, and he neither spoke nor moved while he was sleeping.


    Leng Hua saw this and, with a motion of his hand, a wind de struck the elderly man. The elderly man woke up at this point, rolled over to avoid Leng Hua’s attack, rubbed his eyes, and shot a furious nce in Leng Hua’s direction. “Kid, how can you not know the rules? How could you attack me, an elderly man? If I get hurt, it’s your fault and I’m not going anywhere.”


    “How did you get in?”


    Leng Hua asked, staring at him. This elderly man was anything but ordinary. Since he was able to sneak into their house undetected, he couldn’t treat him like a regr old man.


    “I got in just like that! How else could one get in?”


    As he straightened his sleeve, the elderly man curled his lips. “Yesterday, I rmended myself to be a steward here. Would you believe that if you made me the steward here, not even a fly can get in?”
