Chapter 219 - 207: Seeking Affection; Ghost King Fakes Displeasure
"..."
Although Hua Cheng only swept a look, but Xie Lian wholeheartedly trust that he wouldn't have counted wrong.
He said it in a hushed voice, and no one else heard besides Xie Lian. Xie Lian also swiftly scanned the circle once.
Everyone here was holding hands, so just when did an extra person joined?
Could it be that Shi Qing Xuan counted wrong? Xie Lian asked, "Are you sure that you've got the right numbers? You didn't miss anyone?"
Shi Qing Xuan swore, "Nope! Didn't you say the head count is important? So I've been keeping count repeatedly, and the ones who left halfway through were also taken off the count. It's one hundred and forty-eight of us. What is it? Is something wrong?"
It wasn't the right time to explain at the moment, and doing so recklessly would only start unnecessary panic, and Xie Lian couldn't have people point out those they didn't recognize either because there were too many on sight, and most people didn't know each other in the first place. Thus Xie Lian replied, "No, I'm just verifying."
It was even less possible for the spell users side to have miscounted, since everyone reported the number of their own household heads to Heaven's Eye before he added them all together. There was no way they didn't know how many from their schools had come.
Xie Lian whispered back, "When did the extra one get mixed in? What is that person planning?"
"They either came right from the start or they've mixed in when the spell users joined. But, they're human for sure."
At least it wasn't a ghost for sure. In order to form this circle everyone had to be human, otherwise they wouldn't be able to keep those resentful spirits in.
