Seeing that the three had more or less reached an agreement, Ma Jing nodded. "Good. I shall report this to the Supreme Elder now. However, I cannot guarantee whether he will grant an audience, or when. The Supreme Elder has been in seclusion lately and does not wish to be disturbed."
"Grand Elder Ma, you need only report it. We can always wait," Pang Ruyuan said.
"Very well. Huang Xiao's arrangements remain undecided, so he shall stay here for now. Hall Master Wei, do you have any objections?" Ma Jing asked, looking at Wei Yidao.
"Then he shall stay for now!" Wei Yidao said.
Ma Jing nodded, then rose. "The three hall masters should stay here as well. Once there is news from the Supreme Elder, I shall notify you immediately."
Someone led Huang Xiao to a small courtyard. He saw that Lou Feishang and Pang Yi had received the same arrangements, with their three courtyards adjoining one another.
Clearly, even Pang Yi could not return to the God-Burying Hall at this point. That meant the three of them would still have to be received, especially himself.
Huang Xiao wondered whether Heavenly Demon Hall People or the hall master would summon him, but that did not happen.
After staying there for two days, the three of them were summoned back to the side hall from before.
By now, Huang Xiao had enjoyed a comfortable bath, changed his clothes, and returned to normal. Those superficial wounds were nothing at all.
"Huang Xiao!" Ma Jing called.
Huang Xiao hurried forward to await the final verdict.
"From this day onward, you are a member of the Heavenly Demon Hall. You will also replace Chao Jue and have the right to contend for the position of New Hall Master. Work hard!" Ma Jing said.
