Chapter 813: Chapter 813: Turning a Deaf Ear to the Outside World

"You...you..." The old man blinked his eyes, still unable to grasp what was happening.

"I am here this time to accept Lady Lin’s commission to escort you away." Bai Junjun said as she took out a Jade Pendant from her pocket, a personal belonging of Lady Lin. She said that as long as it was produced, her master would recognize it.

Indeed, as soon as Bai Junjun took it out, the old man immediately sprung to life.

He put his index finger to his lips, making a gesture for silence.

The old man pointed at the wall and then at his ear, implying that walls have ears.

Bai Junjun understood the pantomime and nodded blankly.

Only then did the old man take out an incense stick from his bosom and silently lit it.

As he lit the incense, he gestured for Bai Junjun to cover her mouth and nose.

Then, taking the lead, he crawled under the table and waved for Bai Junjun to follow.

"..." Bai Junjun.

She never imagined that one day she would be crouching under a table having a conversation.

In the spacious room, where no one was visible, two people sat cross-legged under the narrow space of the table.

After a while, the old man asked in a low voice,

"Did my disciple send you to rescue me?"

"Just you alone?"

Before Bai Junjun could answer, the old man’s mouth gaped open. His disciple was becoming more and more unreliable, sending only a little girl to save him?

Witch Ancestor Mountain was so eerie; how could a little girl handle it?

Or did his disciple also sneak in?

Bai Junjun shook her head: "It’s just me. Strictly speaking, I have two companions who entered before me, but I can’t get in touch with them now."

The old man cradled his forehead with a headache: "Witch Ancestor Mountain is no trivial place, you are being too childish."

The old man already had little faith in this young girl, and now hearing that she had two companions who lost contact as soon as they entered, he was even more certain that these two were undoubtedly greenhorns.

"Where did you lose contact with these two companions? If it was near the foot of the mountain, there might still be hope to rescue them, but if they went to the Insect Forest, I fear the prospects are grim."

Bai Junjun scratched her head. Where Fox and the others had gone, she really did not know.

She was already worried enough about Fox’s disappearance, but what the old man said made her even more anxious.

But being anxious was useless; to resolve this situation, one must have a clear understanding of the enemy and oneself.

Bai Junjun had to suppress the urgency in her heart and began to learn about the current situation on Witch Ancestor Mountain.

"I heard that the Saintess competition has already started, what’s the situation now?"

"The competition for Saintess has been going on for over half a month, and it will end in ten days." The old man finally showed a hint of surprise: "Why do you ask about this?"

What did the competition for Saintess have to do with taking him away?

At such a critical juncture, this little girl was still concerned about these irrelevant matters, which made him feel even more that she was unreliable.

Bai Junjun, unaware of his thoughts, still spoke with solemnity: "Are all sixteen Saintesses still around?"

"Ah, I’m not quite sure. There must have been some losses, but I haven’t inquired."

"..." Bai Junjun’s head twitched.

This old man...

Was he really here planning to live out his years in comfort?

He didn’t care at all about what was happening outside, what to do...

She had hoped to get some useful information here, but it turned out he knew nothing.

Just as Bai Junjun was about to flip the table and rise, the old man made another gesture for silence: "Keep your voice down. The Calming Incense can only put the insects here to sleep. If we wake them up, it won’t work anymore."

Bai Junjun suddenly remembered the incense that the old man had lit before crawling under the table. She had thought it was for mosquito repelling, but it turned out to have this use. Could it be that being under the table was also to avoid waking those insects?
