Chapter 141 Tit for tat
A young man held a folding fan in his hand with his chin raised to the sky.
The malice on the corner of his mouth was not concealed at all, telling everyone clearly that he invited Yu Zhouwan with bad intentions.
"Master Situ, the three of them currently do not have the ability to accept missions, and Jishidiang will not give them mission cards."
Ma Chi smiled with a forced smile, being polite yet respectful.
"It's okay. Give them the task cards. They will be fine as long as I'm here." Master Situ kept staring at Xiao Zhen Mo, as if Xiao Zhen Mo was some treasure.
Yu Zhouwan glanced behind Master Situ and saw someone hiding, so she narrowed her eyes.
It was her first time going out in Nanfeng City. Apart from the scarred man Sun Long, with whom she had just had a conflict, she had not had any conflict with anyone else. This man was probably someone sent by the scarred man.
"Master Situ, this is the rule of Jishidiang. No one can be an exception." The smile on Ma Chi's lips disappeared. His square face became serious and earnest, and the pressure of a strong man in the fusion stage began to emerge.
Situ Hu was not afraid at all. He took a step forward and said, "Deputy Hall Master Ma, my uncle said that as long as there are three people with cultivation above the Nascent Soul stage in the team, the team can accommodate three people with cultivation below the Golden Core stage."
The pressure around Ma Chi became even greater, and he stared at Situ Hu expressionlessly.
It seems that what Situ Hu said was right, otherwise Ma Chi's pressure would not have suddenly become heavier.
"What are you doing, Deputy Hall Master Ma? Why are you staring at my nephew like that? Did he offend you? I apologize to you on his behalf."
Before the people arrive, the sound arrives first.
Yu Zhouwan was still wondering who this was, but he saw that everyone around him was quiet for a moment and then became noisy again.
But Yu Zhouwan still saw from the corner of his eye that many people were staring at them.
Yu Zhouwan saw a tall, thin, long-faced middle-aged man coming in from the door.
"Uncle!" Yu Zhouwan saw Situ Hu's fawning face, and he humbled himself and reached out to help the middle-aged man over.
"Deputy Hall Master Situ, long time no see." Ma Chi quickly raised the corners of his mouth and then lowered them.
"Deputy Hall Master Ma, I was only away for half a year, how come when I came back, I found that some of you couldn't remember the rules of Jishidi Hall? Is it because you are too old to remember them?"
He covered his mouth after saying all the bad things, "I deserve to be beaten. My mouth can't speak. Deputy Hall Master Ma, please don't blame me."
That being said, it would be more realistic if Situ Shiben could hide his smug smile.
Ma Chi was not to be outdone, "No, I've worked with you for many years, I've always known that you have such a foul mouth, I'm used to it."
"Pfft!"
Yu Zhenyan couldn't help but laughed out loud.
"Puff!" Xiao Zhen Mo immediately covered his mouth, fearing that he would make any more noise.
Suddenly a cold gaze fell on him, and the pressure of the fusion stage came towards him. Yu Zhouwan stood in front of his younger brother and sister.
Ma Chi stood in front of Yu Zhouwan and the others, releasing his pressure and resisting the pressure from Situ Shiben.
Yu Zhouwan noticed that Ma Chi was having a hard time dealing with the situation. It seemed that Situ Shiben's cultivation was higher than Ma Chi's.
"Deputy Hall Master Situ, what's the matter? It's just a joke between friends. You can't take a joke!" Ma Chi said with a smile despite the pressure.
The people around discussed in low voices.
"It seems that the two masters of Jishitang are really at odds with each other, just like the rumors from the outside world!"
"Looks like it."
"Didn't I hear that the head of Jishitang doesn't like his subordinates to scheme against each other?"
"This isn't intrigue, this is just sitting on someone's face and shitting!"
The more Situ Shiben listened, the darker his face became. No matter how he and Ma Chi disagreed in private, they had never revealed it to the public.
This would be because he was impulsive. He had just been promoted and was one level higher than Ma Chi, so he couldn't help himself.
If this gets to the ears of the hall master, no matter whether it is him or Ma Chi, no one knows who will be brought down.
Situ Shiben retracted his pressure and said with a smile, "It's mainly because I've been away for half a year. I haven't seen Deputy Hall Master Ma for a long time. I was excited when we just met."
Ma Chi smiled wryly, "Thank you, Hall Master Situ Fu, for your concern."
Situ Shiben smiled but said nothing. The air around them gradually became stagnant. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that there was a lot of tension between the two deputy hall masters.
But they were so polite in their words that it was hard to find fault with them.
Situ Hu broke the deadlock, "Uncle, I want this girl to go on the mission with me."
Ma Chi glanced at Situ Hu coldly. Situ Shiben saw that Ma Chi wanted to protect the three siblings.
"Young people always need to gain experience. Deputy Hall Master Ma has been protecting the children under his wings, which will hinder their progress."
"Master Situ Fu, don't worry about this. I'm in good health and can protect them for another two to three hundred years." Ma Chi said confidently.
"Hmph." Situ Shiben snorted barely audibly.
He turned to his eldest nephew and said, "Let's leave it at that. You can go now."
After saying this, he left the Jishidiang hall without waiting for Situ Hu to answer.
"Uncle, uncle!" Situ Hu called his dear uncle unwillingly, but the uncle didn't even turn his head.
Situ Hu's face was gloomy and he looked around guiltily, as if everyone was laughing at him.
"Let's go." He reluctantly took his people away and glared at Yu Zhouwan and the others before leaving.
Yu Zhouwan looked at the last person in Situ Hu's team, and it was the scarred man Sun Long.
Yu Zhouwan stared coldly at Sun Long's back: Just wait, she will settle the score with him sooner or later.
Yu Zhouwan turned around and thanked Ma Chi.
"Thank you, Deputy Hall Master Ma, for your help!" If Ma Chi had not resisted Situ Shiben's pressure just now, Yu Zhouwan would have been seriously injured by the pressure.
"It's okay. He and I are enemies. Even without you, we will still get into trouble." Ma Chi waved his hand.
"Where is your home? I'll take you back. After what happened, it might not be safe for you to go back."
Yu Zhouwan shook his head. "No, it's okay. We have a way to avoid them. Thank you for your kindness, Deputy Hall Master."
Yu Zhouwan said goodbye to Ma Chi and left Jishidiang under his worried look.
Not long after leaving Jishiditang, Yu Zhouwan and the others turned into a corner and released their spiritual sense. There was no one around.
"Sister, when the bad guys left just now, I let the clothes-sticking bees follow them. We'll be able to find them by following the clothes-seeking bees later." Xiao Zhenyan looked excited and seemed to be impatient to beat Situ Hu up.
"Okay, then you give me the Kunshan Jade Jie Zi first, so that if there is any danger, you can hide in it in time."
Yu Zhouwan stretched out her hand, and Xiao Zhenyan put the Kunshan jade beads into her sister's palm.
"Let's go, let's go. I want to see how those people look when they are poisoned. It must look very beautiful." Yu Zhenyan jumped up and down. As long as Yu Zhouwan said a word, she would run away.
"it is good."
Yu Zhenyan immediately followed the clothes-seeking bee and ran in front.
