Huo Lian had a rough idea of what was going on. Whatever it was, Pang Ji would not be able to do as he pleased in this contest for the Hall Master's Seat.
This was also an important reason why he had stayed outside and felt at ease letting Huang Xiao go in with Shi Hen.
"Lord Shi." Seeing Shi Hen and Huang Xiao enter, Chu Fanyin stepped forward to greet them.
They were now in a guest room in the Main Hall.
Huang Xiao and the other two Hall Master Candidates would meet here before the Hall Master Contest.
"Elder Chu," Huang Xiao greeted him.
He knew that Chu Fanyin had long since stepped down as Ten Thousand Demons Hall Master and was now an Inner Hall Elder.
Yang Tun stood beside Chu Fanyin. He bowed to Shi Hen, then stared at Huang Xiao, deeply shocked.
"Chu Fanyin, you once said you wanted to join the Hidden Demon Guard. I never thought you would end up in the Inner Hall," Shi Hen said, shaking his head with a sigh.
"Lord Liu summoned me. I dared not refuse. Please forgive me, Lord Shi," Chu Fanyin said hurriedly.
"Haha, Liu Tengfan, eh? True enough. You are both of the Ten Thousand Demons Hall Lineage. Joining the Inner Hall is fine too," Shi Hen said with a hearty laugh.
He did not truly blame Chu Fanyin.
If the Inner Hall Grand Elder had not been Liu Tengfan, but was still Pang Tiangang or another Pang Family member, Chu Fanyin would very likely have joined the Hidden Demon Guard.
Now that Liu Tengfan was the Inner Hall Grand Elder, Chu Fanyin would naturally serve under him.
After all, they both belonged to the Ten Thousand Demons Hall Lineage. There was nothing to hesitate
