Through a special passage, Lu Qian returned to the reception desk even a little earlier than Ma Hongjun.
Soon, Ma Hongjun approached from another direction. Although no one from Spirit Hall was following him, he walked very quickly, his expression grave.
At the sight, the smile on Lu Qian's face stiffened slightly. Had this guy discovered something?
Then Ma Hongjun spotted Lu Qian waiting for him. He shot Lu Qian a meaningful look and headed straight out.
Lu Qian frowned. Just what medicine was this guy hiding in his gourd?
Quickly catching up to Ma Hongjun, Lu Qian asked quietly:
"What's wrong?"
"Come with me first. Let's get out of here."
Ma Hongjun gave no reason, but his tone was so solemn that Lu Qian was utterly bewildered.
Has this damn fatty really discovered my connection to Spirit Hall?
Is he capable of that?
Torn with uncertainty, Lu Qian followed close behind Ma Hongjun as they hurried out of the Spirit Hall Main Hall.
Only after they had gone several hundred meters from the Spirit Hall Main Hall did Lu Qian finally lose patience. He grabbed Ma Hongjun and snapped:
"Damn it! What the hell happened?"
Then, just as Lu Qian's heart was full of apprehension and unease, Ma Hongjun suddenly broke into an exceptionally sleazy grin and whispered to him:
"Hahahaha! Those idiots at Spirit Hall miscalculated! I actually already collected my Soul Master subsidy this month, but they gave me another one!"
Looking at Ma Hongjun's pathetic display, Lu Qian truly did not know whether to give him a scolding or what.
Still, the outcome was good. For Lu Qian, Ma Hongjun had not discovered his secret connection to Spirit Hall, and that was good enough.
For Ma Hongjun, getting an extra month's Soul Master subsidy for nothing
