After Xiaotao cleaned up, Samuel, Wang Simin, and Qin Qingfeng were already waiting in the living room on the first floor. Although it was only in the morning, the business in the inn was very good. It was almost the same as when the four of them came last afternoon. There were few empty tables in the store.
"What a strange place. There were so many people early in the morning, but no one came at night." Wang Simin looked at the bustling life around her and said with some dissatisfaction.
Qin Qingfeng smiled and said, "Let's go to the village chief. Maybe he knows something about Xiaotao."
When they came out of the inn, the streets were as noisy as yesterday afternoon, and the shouting and selling voices were endless. The group of people went all the way to the innermost part of the village.
Qin Qingfeng had already asked the waiter for information. The big house in the innermost part of Wuyou Village was the ancestral hall. As the chief of a village, Village Chief lived in the ancestral hall all year round.
Soon after, the four of them arrived at a large rooftop.
Although the house was a little old, it was decorated with red bricks and black tiles. The two strange stone beasts at the door opened their mouths, looking serious and dignified.
"Let's go in." Looking at the plaque with the words "Ancestral Temple" hanging above his head, Qin Qingfeng walked in first.
As soon as they entered the ancestral hall, a fragrant smell came into their nostrils. When they walked further in, they saw an incomparably huge Deity's Seat, which was filled with all kinds of spirit tablets.
As soon as the four of them entered the hall, an old man with a white beard slowly walked out from the side door of the hall and said with a smile, "It's really a happy thing to have friends coming from the countryside."
Behind the old man was a young man about 25 or 26 years old. He had a square face and straight eyebrows. He was quite handsome, but there was a trace of killing intent in his eyes that was hard for outsiders to detect.
Qin Qingfeng smiled. "You must be the village chief? I'm the Seventh Elder of the Void Sect, Qin Qingfeng. This is my disciple, Samuel, and this is Miss Wang Simin, the daughter of the Wang family in Tianhu City."
Samuel gave Qin Qingfeng a strange look. "This guy is really bold. He directly told them his real name. Others didn't care, but Qin Qingfeng came here three years ago and killed many villagers in Wuyou Village."
Qin Qingfeng seemed to have seen through Samuel's doubts and whispered in his ear, "At that time, we came here with a mask. We came at night just to grab something. So, I don't know them, and they don't know me either."
Samuel nodded knowingly. No wonder Qin Qingfeng was so bold.
Although the white-bearded old man smiled, his eyes were full of vigilance. "It turns out that the master has arrived. However, this village has always been isolated from the world. Why would Elder Qin come here? What is the reason?"
