The racket Li Huowang caused instantly startled Granny Cui back to her senses.
"Aiyo, what's going on? Weren't you just communicating with spirits? Why are you getting all riled up?" Her voice was flustered, as if she truly didn't know what had just happened.
Li Huowang, who had been ready to strike, paused and looked at the astonished Granny Cui, his expression shifting unpredictably. I can't tell if she's pretending or really clueless. Logically, if they were truly interested in my Xinsu, they shouldn't be acting like this.
"Are you going to ask or not? If not, I'm leaving." With that, Granny Cui hefted her basket, ready to go.
Seeing this, Li Huowang unexpectedly didn't want her to leave. He dragged a wooden stool over and sat down commandingly with his sword in hand. "I'm still asking. Call that so-called Heavenly Venerable back."
Granny Cui hesitated for a few moments, then finally set her basket back down and relit the incense.
