After being forced into marriage, the metaphysical master became the darling of the richest family.

Chapter 198

An Jiuxi stared sharply at the figure that gradually appeared in front of her, and was clearly surprised after seeing his face clearly.

Old Duan keenly noticed the expression on her face and couldn't help but sneer, "What, do you think I shouldn't be here, or do you think I don't have the ability to orchestrate such a scene on the cliff?"

Thinking of what happened on the cliff, An Jiuxi glanced at him a few more times, then realized something, and the sharpness in her eyes disappeared. "I was quite puzzled at first, but now that you've suddenly admitted it, I don't think it's you anymore."

Although the white-bearded old Taoist priest in front of us has some abilities.

But not to the point of being able to control paper figures.

Clearly, there's someone else behind him!

Being looked down upon like that would make anyone uncomfortable.

"I, Old Duan, possess extraordinary abilities. If it weren't for a little brat like you, I wouldn't be starving right now! I'm not here for anything else. You'd better return my ancestral compass immediately, or you can just wait to die in this cave!"

The threatening words were spoken.

An Jiuxi showed no sign of panic, her gaze fixed on Jin Yize. "Why hasn't he woken up yet?"

Old Duan frowned and glanced at the man who seemed a bit off.

He couldn't help but mutter to himself, "How should I know..."

Although the voice was soft, An Jiuxi still heard it clearly!

She smiled at Lao Duan, a hint of mockery in her eyes, "Since you say you have such great abilities, why hasn't the person woken up yet?"

"Or are you saying that you didn't handle this matter?"

An Jiuxi's words were like a warning bell striking Lao Duan's heart!

His eyes instantly filled with a hint of panic. "Stop talking nonsense! I... how could I not know what's wrong with him? Let me see..."

Old Duan was feeling a bit guilty, and when he leaned forward to take a look, he didn't notice the noise coming from behind him.

An Jiuxi leaned against the wall, seemingly unchanged from before.

However, her gaze was directed towards the air behind Lao Duan, where the peach wood sword that should have been at her waist was now quietly floating on Lao Duan's back.

An Jiuxi's eyebrows curved slightly. "Jiang Wan, stop making a scene."

Old Duan suddenly stopped what he was doing, his suspicious gaze falling on the woman.

"What Jiang Wan?"

Is there a fourth person in this cave?

An Jiuxi feigned curiosity, "What, can't you see there's another lady in a cheongsam standing over there?"

Old Duan shuddered as a gust of cold wind blew in from the cave entrance, causing the fire to flicker.

It sent a chill down one's spine.

"What...what, a lady in a cheongsam!"

The man's terrified screams echoed inside the cave.

An Jiuxi raised an eyebrow and flicked a small amount of spiritual energy towards the peach wood sword.

"what!"

Old Duan felt a pressing sensation on one of his shoulders and was so frightened that he almost jumped three feet high!

"Get the hell out here right now, or I'll get rough!"

Seeing the man's reaction, An Jiuxi lowered her head to hide the smile that was playing on her lips.

She sighed, putting on a convincing performance, "Fellow Daoist Duan, you can't see it? That shouldn't be the case. Isn't this basic for people like us in the Xuanmen sect?"

Old Duan's guilty conscience became increasingly obvious.

"I... I just lost my compass. Please, give me back my compass right now!"

Old Duan spoke haltingly, and the occasional chill that ran down his back made his scalp tingle.

All I want now is to get what I want as soon as possible and leave this weird place!

"Sorry, I don't have the compass with me."

An Jiuxi sighed helplessly, revealing a regretful expression.

Fingers move slightly.

The peach wood sword struck the man's back again, then disappeared into the crevice!

"get out!"

Old Duan swallowed hard in fear, clutching a handful of talismans he had collected from who-knows-where.

Throw it around.

It seemed that this would eliminate the fear in his heart.
