"Yu Changchun!?"
Wang Ba's heart jolted.
The bustle of the past few days and the Immortal Ascension Society's absence had almost made him forget this man existed.
Yet Old Hou's sudden reminder instantly stirred a sense of danger in Wang Ba's heart.
What did he mean, don't wander around over the next few days?
Could it really be as Senior Brother Zhao Feng said-would some great upheaval occur the day the Sect Master and the others left the sect?
At this thought, he hurriedly called Old Hou back, then returned to the Mountain Manor, picked up a small bucket of Spirit Chicken eggs, and pattered back down to put it on Old Hou's cart.
To Wang Ba's slight surprise, however, Old Hou merely raised his eyebrows at the eggs on the donkey cart, offering no response.
Was it not enough?
Wang Ba thought to himself. Though somewhat displeased, he still smiled and said, "Wait another moment. I couldn't carry everything just now. There's more I haven't brought down."
With that, he hurried back, pinned two Spirit Chickens' wings behind them, brought them down, and stuffed them into Old Hou's donkey cart.
He lacked everything at present except Spirit Chickens, of which he had plenty.
With only North Pine Market remaining of the four great markets outside the sect, selling Spirit Chickens had become less convenient. For safety's sake, Wang Ba had reduced both the frequency and quantity of his sales, preferring to let these Spirit Chickens die of old age in the manor.
Only upon seeing the two Spirit Chickens on the cart did Old Hou reveal a slight smile, though his tone changed from before:
"One shouldn't accept rewards without merit. Is there something you need my help with, Brother Wang?"
At that tone, Wang Ba's heart instantly tightened!
