Chapter 2291 - Changing Their Tune Faster Than They Flip the Pages of a Book
The hall’s doors were tightly shut, but bronze lamps hung from the walls, so the room was thoroughly illuminated.
“Seniors, Xiao Jian has arrived.” Liang Lingxu stepped forth and bowed in greeting.
One of the five old-timers, a white-haired old man, nodded. His name was Fu Yuncheng, and he was an Eight-Tribulation Master God!
His position was comparable to Second High Elder Bai Liyin. It was just that he’d ceased taking on responsibilities within the sect a long, long time ago.
He had the highest cultivation among the five old-timers seated here.
“Aren’t you going to greet your seniors, Xiao Jian?” Liang Lingxu asked with imposing majesty.
Su Yi looked around the room before responding. “I’m uncertain of what’s going on, and I don’t know if what happens next will be good or bad. Forgive me, but I cannot bow in greeting.”
The crowd was stunned. Their expressions shifted.
“It doesn’t matter whether you bow or not,” Fu Yuncheng said with a smile. “Xiao Jian, you just achieved an act of enormous merit. This should be cause for celebration, and we ought to reward you. However... there’s something we need to ask you first!”
Fu Yuncheng’s smile vanished, and his gaze was suddenly cold and intense. “Who... exactly are you?”
Su Yi laughed. “Just as I thought. You called all these people here to interrogate me.”
The crowd’s gazes shifted slightly.
