Chapter 201 - A Family Gathering (1/2)
”Who are you? Where is Hong Bao?” Liu Cheng frowned and looked around the room as if he could materialize her that way.
The Grandmaster slightly lifted a brow. Hong Bao? It seemed this man had somehow been under the impression that his sister-in-law would be in this room. Mn … It should have to do with the message he had left in the pouch. Most likely, the pouch had somehow ended up with this man and since Hong Bao's name was embroidered onto it, he must have thought it was a message she had sent him.
He narrowed his eyes at the man. This wasn't good. If this man confessed to his sister-in-law, she might not come back with him. ”You're from the Chun Feng Sect?”
”Indeed. So who are you? Why are you here?”
”I came here to wait for Hong Bao. It seems my message ended up with you. Please be so kind as to go back and tell her that I'm waiting for her.” He would have liked to do it himself but he couldn't enter the Chun Feng Sect without alarming its Elders. He could only rely on somebody else now.
”Who are you? What do you want from her?” Liu Cheng frowned. He certainly wouldn't tell his Junior Martial Sister that some man was waiting for her in an inn if he didn't know what this was about! Hong Bao was too gullible. She might be tricked into something she would regret later.
”You don't need to know. In fact, it suffices to give the original message back to her.”
”Hmph, you won't even identify yourself but want me to pass on a message? I don't think so.”
The Grandmaster frowned, too. When was the last time he had had to argue with someone? Especially someone this young? He couldn't do anything about it, though. ”Alright. Then don't pass on my message. You may go now.” He waved toward the door and poured himself another cup of tea, ignoring Liu Cheng completely.
The demon hunter also wasn't used to being dismissed like that. But he, too, couldn't do anything about it. In the end, he turned around and strode out of the room. He closed the door and continued to stand there for a while, before hurrying down to the reception.
”Boss!”
The owner of the inn looked up and instantly smiled. This was the man who had visited that important guest! He had to be especially courteous. ”What may I do for you?”
”The person in that room … May I ask if you know his name?”
The boss was a little taken aback. Why would such a person give a name to a small owner like him if he didn't even tell his guest? ”That … I'm afraid I don't know.”
”Mn.” Liu Cheng frowned once more. ”Then do you know where he came from?”
The boss shook his head while his confusion grew. Why was that man's guest asking him such questions now? Shouldn't he himself know that?
