Hou Sihai snatched the sea chart from Su Shi'er's hand and said in a deep voice, "Rest assured. This old man's heart-knot has mostly been untied. These minor injuries are nothing."
"As for that girl Leng Yan, this old man owes her far too much. Just give this old man a chance to do something for him."
The moment his words fell, his entire bearing visibly soared.
His situation truly differed from Su Shi'er's. His injuries were far lighter than Su Shi'er's, and he was also a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.
The reason he had appeared in such grave condition was chiefly because his inner demons plagued him, leaving his emotions unstable and preventing him from steadying the true essence within his body.
Sensing the subtle change in Hou Sihai's aura, Su Shi'er nodded slightly and said no more.
"Very well. I shall leave this matter to you, Senior."
"However... Vengeful spirits and ghosts are causing trouble outside, and there is even a Nascent Soul cultivator standing guard. How do you intend to deal with them, Senior?"
Su Shi'er changed the subject and immediately continued his questioning.
Although Wan Jianyi was merely at the early Nascent Soul Stage, he was, like Hou Sihai, one of the gifted few.
