The staff at the Spirit Hall in Wind Salt City seem a bit unprofessional...
Instead of executing orders immediately, they waste time talking nonsense.
As a nobleman of the Heaven Dou Empire, Wang Xiaoming must be secretly laughing at him.
This made her feel a little embarrassed.
At this moment, Wang Xiaoming, who was whispering to Wang Dong'er, finally came to his senses.
"Ah, it's okay. Everyone has some grievances when they're at work, it's understandable."
Upon hearing this, Hu Liena gave a dry laugh.
He's resentful... or rather, he's unprofessional.
Hu Liena led Wang Xiaoming and the others to the reception room of the Spirit Hall.
They had only been sitting down for a short while.
Two figures, one in red and one in silver, pushed open the door and hurriedly walked in from outside.
" Nana, what happened? I heard you captured Fallen Soul Master... How are you? Are you hurt?"
The silver figure rushed straight towards Hu Liena, grabbed her arm, and began to examine her from head to toe.
Wang Xiaoming and the others watched Hu Liena with interest.
This kind of scene is quite rare.
Being cared for in public or something.
The silver one must be Xie Yue, and the big, red one behind him must be Yan.
However, this Xie Yue looks somewhat different from the one in the original story.
In the original work, wasn't this guy supposed to be a ruthless person who didn't talk much?
Why does he look like a talkative, sister-obsessed guy now?
Hu Liena felt inexplicably shy being manipulated like this by Xie Yue in front of outsiders.
She quickly pressed down on Xie Yue's hands.
"Hey, brother, there are outsiders here. I'm fine... I didn't catch him."
Upon hearing this, Xie Yue was taken aback.
"Not you?"
Hu Liena nodded and pointed to Wang Xiaoming.
"These are the few Fallen Soul Master I encountered. I just happened to run into them while I was taking a walk, so I just grabbed them on a whim."
Upon hearing this, Xie Yue finally dropped her worried expression.
He walked towards Wang Xiaoming and extended his right hand.
"Hello, my name is Xie Yue, and I'm Nana's older brother."
Wang Xiaoming.
Wang Xiaoming reached out and shook hands with Xie Yue.
Only then did he take a good look at the man in front of him.
He wore a silver Spirit Hall uniform, had short black hair, and his eyes exuded a sharp aura.
As Wang Xiaoming sized up Xie Yue, Xie Yue's eyes were also sizing Wang Xiaoming up, seemingly assessing his Wang Xiaoming danger.
However, the moment their hands touched, Xie Yue was somewhat surprised.
The boy in front of me is only twelve years old?
What kind of feed did it eat...? It grew as tall as Yan by the age of twelve.
Just then, a cry of sudden realization rang out.
"Ah, it's you!"
Yan looked at the people in front of him, and after glancing at Wang Dong'er's face, he suddenly remembered that he had seen these people during the day.
Seeing this, Hu Liena quickly gave Yan a death stare.
Noticing Hu Liena's dangerous gaze, Yan quickly covered his mouth with his hand.
Hu Liena noticed the puzzled looks on their faces and quickly stepped forward.
"This guy's name is Yan. We ran into him on the street during the day. He's not very bright, so he probably just remembered something and was a bit startled. Did he scare you?"
Wang Dong'er pursed her lips.
What do you mean "encountered"? You guys were the ones who came up to chat me up...
Wang Xiaoming shook his head.
"It's alright, this gentleman seems like a very honest person, and we're not that timid."
Upon hearing this, Yan looked at Wang Xiaoming with some gratitude.
but...
Saying a few nice words doesn't mean he'll just give Nana away!
In the end, Xie Yue took over the conversation.
"Thank you all for your help. To be honest, we are currently in dire need of intelligence," Xie Yue said to Wang Xiaoming with a serious expression.
Then, he looked at Hu Liena.
"We inquired about the Fallen Soul Master who appeared in Wind Salt City at the banquet; in previous operations, not a single one was left alive..."
If we can extract information from him tonight, it will be very helpful in clearing out their stronghold.
"Oh?" Upon hearing this, Wang Xiaoming became somewhat interested.
"From what you're saying, it seems there are quite a few Fallen Soul Master?"
They even have an old base.
Upon hearing this, Wang Dong'er gripped Wang Xiaoming's hand tightly, her brows furrowing slightly.
She would never forget the Fallen Soul Master.
Hu Liena chimed in, "Not just a lot... We came here specifically for this."
The mere mention of those Fallen Soul Master gave Hu Liena a headache, and she rubbed her temples.
"You must have just arrived here and haven't heard any news yet... But like you, the information we've been able to find here is very limited."
Otherwise, we wouldn't have gone through all this trouble.
"Alright, we'll discuss the specifics as we walk, and while we're at it... let's see what information that Fallen Soul Master can glean."
Xie Yue turned around and pushed open the door.
Wang Xiaoming and the others exchanged glances and then followed.
The group arrived at the Spirit Hall's dungeon.
As soon as they entered, a prison guard from the Spirit Hall came to greet them, clearly having been waiting for some time.
"Holy Maiden, we've sealed this guy's Soul Power and can begin interrogation. However... this guy seems mentally unstable, so please be careful."
"Mental instability?"
Hu Liena and the others turned their heads and looked at the Fallen Soul Master who was firmly tied to a chair in the distance.
At this moment, the cloak on that guy's body had been removed by the Spirit Hall's jailers, revealing his appearance underneath.
He was wearing a tattered shirt and shorts that were barely better than what a beggar would wear.
His skin was as white as putty on a wall, covered with unevenly distributed scabs of varying sizes.
At this moment, he was wearing a maniacal smile, chuckling to himself.
The Spirit Hall jailer reached out and knocked in front of him, making a banging sound.
He warned him with a stern expression.
"My Holy Maiden from the Spirit Hall is here. You'd better behave yourself and answer whatever she asks."
Otherwise... you wouldn't want to know the consequences.
The Fallen Soul Master looked at the jailer nonchalantly, grinning to reveal a mouthful of sharp teeth.
"Hehehe... Holy Maiden, I'm not interested... I only want to answer that person's question..."
"You!"
The jailer was about to lose his temper.
This Fallen Soul Master is far too arrogant.
How dare he humiliate himself like that in front of the Holy Maiden!
At this moment, Hu Liena and the others also arrived near this Fallen Soul Master.
However, a magic array blocked the view in front, so those inside couldn't see out.
The Fallen Soul Master hadn't noticed that Wang Xiaoming and his group had already arrived.
"This guy actually dares to disregard us!"
Yan, with his fiery temper, rolled up his sleeves and was about to rush in and beat him up.
" Nana, I'll go in and interrogate him. I'm sure I can get him to talk!"
