Mortal, I have an immortality lottery panel.

After Hongfen tidied up the messy room, Dai Mei frowned and her expression turned quite unpleasant. She then got up and pushed open the door to leave.

Then, at the entrance to the courtyard, two uninvited guests, a man and a woman, came into view.

The woman, dressed in red, with a beautiful face and still retaining her charm, was none other than Hong Fu.

The man was an old man. His face was sallow, his small eyes were dull and lifeless, and he was extremely ugly.

"This junior, a member of the Hehuan Sect, pays respects to Senior Linghu. May I ask what brings you here?"

Facing a Nascent Soul cultivator, Hongfen was naturally extremely nervous, and at the same time, she hoped that Lin Yue would not return to avoid trouble.

Lin Yue's cultivation level could not be hidden from a Nascent Soul cultivator; she had staked her entire fortune, including herself, on Lin Yue.

If something goes wrong, it will be too late for her to regret it.

"Fellow Daoist Hongfen, is that fellow Daoist still alive?"

Linghu Laoguai's cloudy eyes flickered with a sharp light, and his aged voice blurted out the question.

He naturally wanted to search the soul of the red powder to find out whether the demonic invasion was real or not, but he was also unwilling to offend Lin Yue, this mysterious Nascent Soul cultivator.

If it weren't for his interrogation and threats, Hong Fu would never have told Linghu Laoguai that Lin Yue and Hong Fen might still be in Tianxing Sect Market.

Therefore, even when facing rosy-cheeked women, Hong Fu no longer displayed the coldness and sternness she had before; instead, she felt a little apologetic and guilty.

After all, she had already betrayed "Lin Yue," her savior.

At this moment, the three people in the courtyard, including Linghu Laoguai, a Nascent Soul cultivator, were unaware that Lin Yue was watching them.

Although Lin Yue was dissatisfied with Hong Fu's "betrayal," he was genuinely surprised and delighted that the snake talisman's invisibility could deceive Linghu Laoguai, this Nascent Soul cultivator.

While it's possible that the woman in the red dress was faking it, it's absolutely impossible for Linghu Chong and Hong Fu to be a couple.

Meanwhile, in response to Linghu Laoguai's question, Hongfen glared at Hongfu, who looked apologetic, and answered with a charming laugh.

"Master, I went out on some business and I don't know when I will be back. If you and Fellow Daoist Hong Fu are willing to wait here, I would not mind."

"However, it seems that you, Fellow Daoist Hongfu, have broken your promise to your master."

The woman's smile faded, and her tone became slightly unfriendly.

"This matter has nothing to do with my junior sister Hong Fu; it was I who forced her to say it. If that fellow Daoist wants to blame me, I am willing to take the blame for my junior sister Hong Fu. This is the material that my junior sister Hong Fu promised to help collect, so consider it compensation. I hope you will give it to that fellow Daoist."

Before Hong Fu could answer, Linghu Laoguai spoke first in response to Hong Fen's question.

After saying that, Hong Fu tossed a storage bag to Hong Fen and said softly.

"I will apologize to you for this matter, Senior. Whatever you ask for, I will agree to. Please do not worry."

"Great idea! I've heard that Sister Hongfu has a descendant. How about letting her serve the master alongside her younger sister?"

Suddenly, Hongfen, who had just taken the storage bag, smiled and proposed a compensation plan that surprised Linghu Laoguai, Hongfu, and even Lin Yue.

"Witch, don't even think about it. How could a senior possibly make such a request?"

Upon hearing this, Hong Fu's cheeks flushed red, and she said angrily.

She naturally couldn't agree to such a thing, and from Hongfen's words, she also learned that Hongfen had been serving Lin Yue, this mysterious Nascent Soul cultivator, for the past few days.

"This matter is not urgent for now."

Linghu Laoguai said in a calm tone.

This directly stopped the two women from arguing further. What he wanted to know now was whether Lin Yue was a Nascent Soul cultivator and whether the six demonic sects of Tianluo Kingdom would invade Yue Kingdom.

Of course, the simplest and most direct method is to use the Soul-Searching Red Powder.

However, facing Lin Yue, a mysterious Nascent Soul cultivator who could arrive at any moment, who had saved Hong Fu's life and informed her of the demonic invasion, Linghu Laoguai really couldn't take direct action.

After all, Hongfen is now Lin Yue's concubine, and if he were to search her soul, he would inevitably offend a Nascent Soul cultivator who had done Huangfeng Valley a great favor.

Linghu Laoguai was even less willing to make such a formidable enemy.

"Since that fellow Daoist is not here, then Hongfu and I will not disturb you any longer. If that fellow Daoist returns, please ask Fellow Daoist Hongfen to inform him to come to my cave or Hongfu's cave. I have something important to ask him."

Since he couldn't search the soul, Linghu Laoguai had no choice but to settle for second best.

"Senior Linghu, rest assured, I will tell my master everything that happened today. Of course, I will also tell him anything else you instructed me to do."

Upon hearing this, Hongfen breathed a sigh of relief, curtsied, and smiled without fading, completely unaware that she had already been to the Ghost Gate.

"Very well, then I'll leave in your time, fellow Daoist. I'll take my leave now."

Seeing this, Linghu Laoguai didn't say anything more. Hong Fu glanced at Hong Fen with a complicated expression before leaving with Linghu Laoguai.

For her, telling Linghu Laoguai that Lin Yue might be in the Tianxing Sect Market was already "betraying" her benefactor, Lin Yue.

Although sufficient compensation was given, I really don't know how to face Lin Yue next time.

Hongfen breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Linghu Laoguai and Hongfu leave.

……

"Uncle-Master, may I return and wait for your return?"

Just as they were about to leave Tianxing Sect Market, Hong Fu, with a complex expression, suddenly stopped.

"Does my junior disciple wish to return and apologize to that fellow Daoist?"

Upon hearing this, Old Monster Linghu also stopped and asked.

"Yes! Uncle, you are wise. I have informed you that I have broken my vow against my inner demon in the market. Although you used the method of divine sense transmission to shatter the inner demon, I still cannot forgive myself and feel a rift in my heart. Therefore, I would like to go and apologize to you. No matter how you punish me, I will have no complaints. I hope you will forgive me."

Hong Fu curtsied and spoke resolutely.

Clearly, he still couldn't overcome the mental hurdle.

"Alright, go ahead. And while you're at it, apologize to that fellow Daoist on my behalf."

After listening to Hong Fu's words, Linghu Laoguai remained silent for a moment, then nodded, sighed, and agreed.

After all, he knew Hong Fu's personality too well. If he didn't agree, her inner demons would inevitably resurface in the future. He could help her once, but not many times.

This matter can only be handled by Hong Fu and Lin Yue; it is difficult for others to get involved.

"Thank you, Martial Uncle. This disciple takes his leave. I believe you would not deceive me about the invasion of the Six Demonic Sects, so I hope you will make preparations as soon as possible to avoid any unforeseen circumstances."

Hong Fu bowed again and reminded her.

"I naturally believe that, but I want to know who that fellow Daoist is? I can't find a single fellow Daoist who resembles him."

Linghu Laoguai nodded and explained.
