Chapter 23. This question is too difficult.
Master Ji sensed something was amiss.
Hu Zhaici had clearly said that the construction of the altar to perform Demon Extermination would begin tonight, but as the night grew deeper, there was no sign of Hu Zhaici reappearing.
Master Ji quietly sent out a little daoist apprentice to gather information and check if the Hu Family was building an altar, but the brat vanished after running out and didn't come back.
This made Master Ji doubtful and even secretly worried, fearing that Hu Zhaici had learned about the events at the Wang Family and labeled her a fraudster.
Should she run away before anything else happened?
Master Ji was very conflicted. She had spent a substantial amount of money on the Strong Fox Killing Medicine and couldn't bear to not make a profit to compensate for the loss.
Just as Master Ji was having difficulty making up her mind, the steward made an appearance: "Master Ji, the lord of the house invites you to the main hall for an urgent discussion."
Master Ji had no choice but to calm her troubled thoughts and followed the steward to the main hall.
As they arrived at the entrance of the main hall, the steward didn't continue to follow but instead gestured for her to go in.
Unease gripped Master Ji as she proceeded alone, and upon entering the main hall, she immediately spotted Hu Zhaici seated in the place of honor and Ling Xiaoyue beside him.
The moment she saw Ling Xiaoyue, Master Ji's heart sank and only one thought was in her mind.
