Qin Shaofeng turned a deaf ear to Ziyun Shu's question.
His gaze remained fixed on the courtyard ahead, as though he had been waiting all along for someone who could not possibly be there to speak with him.
Ziyun Shu had already inspected the surrounding bamboo huts.
If some senior truly were present, he did not believe he could have failed to notice.
The more this was the case,
the more worried and frightened he became by Qin Shaofeng's current behavior.
He had observed Qin Shaofeng for quite some time. In his eyes, Qin Shaofeng was an extraordinarily unusual person.
Qin Shaofeng's way of thinking and discernment were beyond comparison with those of ordinary seasoned veterans.
Though countless thoughts churned within him when faced with such a scene,
after seeing that Qin Shaofeng ignored him completely, he no longer dared ask.
The surroundings remained silent.

The silence stretched on for a long, long time.
Ziyun Shu waited in astonishment for a long while, but still saw no movement. Unable to bear it any longer, he asked, "Shaofeng, are you sure some senior truly exists here?"

It would have been one thing if no star beasts, insect beasts, mosquitoes, or similar creatures existed.
But they could not even see a single Ghost Corpse
