Hearing this, Feng Xingyun shook his head.
“Young Master said that the two Daoist masters are experts and need to be treated with utmost respect.”
The corners of the three women's mouths twitched.
The answer was glaringly obvious. The handsome young man before them clearly only took orders from that young master.
As long as that young master didn't say to accommodate them, he wouldn't let them in.
One of them whispered,
“How about we just forget it?”
To be honest, Feng Xingyun appearing behind them soundlessly just now had truly terrified them. Even if they couldn't go inside with the others, it seemed somewhat acceptable.
Perhaps staying outside the house was actually safer.
But another woman didn't think so.
“This place is a specter dungeon. Haven't you read those infinite flow and dungeon-clearing web novels? In a place like this, you must find a place to stay at night.
“If we stay outside, we're highly likely to encounter ghosts.
“When we entered this dungeon, we didn't bring a single one of our treasures. If we run into a ghost, we won't have any ability to resist.”
The other two nodded.
But soon, one of them asked in return, “And we have the ability to resist that old Daoist, the little acolyte, and this mysterious handsome guy?”
“It's still better than facing a ghost. Besides, those two Daoists might not necessarily attack us, but if we meet a ghost, it definitely will!”
The other two were quickly convinced.
“True. Let's try again.”
In the end, they steeled themselves and took a few steps closer.
The woman walking at the front maintained a somewhat bashful look, but her smile carried a hint of seductive charm.
“Handsome, it's pitch black in the middle of the night. Do you really have the heart to leave three weak women like us outside?”
She even discreetly winked at Feng Xingyun.
“Please, show some mercy...”
At this moment, the acolyte standing next to the old Daoist rolled his eyes as an idea suddenly struck him.
He suddenly raised his hand and pointed at the three women.
“Brother, you must not believe them!
“Don't be fooled by their good looks. They are actually all evil fiendesses. They practice wicked charm techniques specifically to seduce men with abundant blood aura.
“Through the arts of dual cultivation and lovemaking, they drain a man's yang energy, vital essence, and even his soul.
“My grandfather and I were chasing them, which is how we accidentally stumbled into this place.”
Feng Xingyun was somewhat surprised.
“I see. If that is indeed the case...”
He frowned slightly and turned to look at the three of them.
“Then I must ask you to leave this place immediately. Otherwise, for the sake of my young master's safety, I will stop at nothing.”
The woman who had spoken earlier fixed her gaze on the acolyte.
“Lin Xiaolei, I know you are Lord Wufang's grandson and the young sect master of the Wufang Sect, but that doesn't mean you can spout nonsense.”
Lin Xiaolei sneered. “I am not spouting nonsense.
“Whatever the case, we have never done the things you claim. As for those men, it was merely consensual lovemaking. How can you equate that to murder?”
“Exactly. You can't brand us as an unorthodox sect just because we enjoy the pleasures of the flesh, can you?”
Lin Xiaolei wanted to say more, but Daoist Wufang stopped him.
“That is enough, Xiaolei. This is not the place for a conflict. Ignore them for now.”
Though his face was still filled with defiance, Lin Xiaolei quieted down.
Daoist Wufang looked at Feng Xingyun.
“Young brother, it is very late now. Would it be possible to arrange a place for us to rest first?”
Feng Xingyun ignored the three women.
“I am Feng Xingyun. You may call me by my name, old Daoist master.
“As for a place to rest, we certainly have one. Currently, only the young master and I reside in this old residence, so there are plenty of empty rooms. Please follow me.”
Saying that, he looked at the three women again.
“I do not know which side is telling the truth, but for the sake of my young master's safety, I must ask the three of you to leave as soon as possible and stay away from the old residence.”
He knew Zuo Lin'an's rules.
Separating these players first would make it easier for the specter bodies to attack.
With that, Feng Xingyun led the two Daoists into the old residence, leaving the three beautiful women standing in the pitch-black night, staring blankly at each other.
“So we have to spend the night outside?”
“Look on the bright side. This way, we don't have to face that old Daoist priest.”
Hearing this, the other two immediately relaxed their brows.
“Then let's find a place to get through tonight. We mustn't separate later; if we run into a ghost, we can look out for each other.”
In their eyes, the old Daoist was far more terrifying than a ghost.
After all, if they encountered a ghost, they could still fight back or run away. But the old Daoist's Taoist spells completely countered them.
If they actually fought, they wouldn't even be able to escape.
The three of them randomly found a spot nearby and sat on the ground. They didn't light a campfire to avoid drawing Feng Xingyun's attention.
They stared at each other in silence.
In the end, the woman who had spoken the most and was the boldest spoke up.
“Judging by your attire and the charm techniques you practice, I assume you are also from the Limei Sect?
“How about... we introduce ourselves first?”
As she spoke, she smoothed down her cascading, straight black hair.
“I am Xia Zhaozhao.”
The woman sitting in the middle tossed her golden, wavy hair, which she had just gotten permed yesterday.
“Han Mingming.”
The last one hadn't permed her hair, but her eyes held a hint of purple, clearly showing she was of mixed heritage.
“Zhou Yunyun.”
After finishing their introductions, all three of them flashed fake smiles.
Others might not know, but as fellow members of the Limei Sect, they knew exactly what these three names meant.
The surnames were chosen at random.
The given names were their code names within the sect, which also served as their pseudonyms when they went out to entertain clients.
After all, since they trod the path of unorthodox sects, they were well aware of various other kinds of evil arts. Some powerful figures could even cast curses remotely using a person's real name!
Therefore, an alias was an absolute necessity.
“So, what should we do now?”
“What else can we do? Let's wait until dawn. It's best not to run around right now.”
Meanwhile, inside the old residence.
Feng Xingyun led the two of them to a wing room.
“Daoist masters, although there are many empty rooms in the old residence, only this one has been cleaned. I must ask you to trouble yourselves by sharing this room tonight.
“If needed, I will tidy up another room tomorrow.”
Daoist Wufang waved his hand.
“No need. Having a place to rest is more than enough. We are not picky people.”
Feng Xingyun bowed slightly to show his respect.
“Then please rest early. The old residence was renovated previously, and there is a bathroom inside the room, so you can wash up directly.”
“Alright.”
Soon, Feng Xingyun left, leaving the grandfather and grandson in the room.
Lin Xiaolei quickly huddled close to the old Daoist.
“Grandfather, tell me quickly, are there ghosts in this old residence?”
The old Daoist shook his head.
“There are none.”
