NOVPUBChapter 1972: Chapter 1972: The Atmosphere Suddenly Turned Cold
His gaze revealed a trace of surprise, sweeping from Leng Nichen to the other two, who clearly didn’t resemble any servants by his son’s side.
“The Great Elder has returned. You must be Nichen, right?”
After his gaze made a round from Qian Jiyun and the other person back to Leng Nichen.
“Sect Master, I have carried out your expectations and brought the Young Sect Master back. Young Sect Master, this man is your father, our Sect Master of the Eternal Night Sect.”
The Great Elder nodded to the Sect Master then turned to introduce Leng Nichen.
Over these days, he had noticed Leng Nichen’s initial eagerness to see his father gradually turn into a hint of disgust in the depths of his eyes.
He had developed a disgust for the Eternal Night Sect.
Heuld understand why, if he had been the one facing the attempts on his life, he wouldn’t have a good impression of the Eternal Night Sect either.
But heuldn’t really say much; they stood on different grounds. They wanted to kill Leng Nichen for Leng Yiyu, while he protected Leng Nichen for his mission and even more for the future of the Eternal Night Sect.
Leng Nichen looked up, his glanceldly turning toward Sect Master Leng.
There was no tearful father-son rgnition scene, and the atmosphere turned so awkward it was unbearable. Leng Nichen didn’t even call him father.
Don’t blame him; thinking of the Eternal Night Sect disciples who died before his eyes these past days, he simplyuldn’t bring himself to call out the word father, feeling that Sect Master Leng didn’t deserve it.
The two stood silent, face to face, as the atmosphere suddenly grew chilly.
“Great Elder, who are these two?”
After a long while, Sect Master Leng, also aware of what was bothering Nichen,uld only change the subject, turning his attention to the other two individuals.
With outsiders present, heuldn’t discuss the private affairs of the Eternal Night Sect and had to hold back.
“Sect Master, these are Young Master Qian and Madam Qian. They saved me and the Young Sect Master when we were forced to the outskirts of the Eternal Night Time.”
The Great Elder introduced the two to Sect Master Leng.
“So they are Nichen’s benefactors. I must repay them for their lifesaving grace.”
Sect Master Leng clasped his fists in thanks to them, smiling, while inwardly he murmured that these two must be quite capable to have rescued the Great Elder and Leng Nichen during the Eternal Night Time.
“No need to repay us.”
An Jiuyue turned her head, cast a glance at her husband, then turned back, smiling at Sect Master Leng.
“Elder Baili’s introduction was not entirely accurate, let me introduce myself properly. Sect Master Leng, my surname is Bai, and my name is Liuyue, the current manager of the Wulong Mountain, Demon Heart Hall.”
“Ah!”
The moment he heard these words, Sect Master Leng shot up from his seat.
“You… You… You are… the… High Priest… High Priest Demon Heart?”
His eyes widened, staring at An Jiuyue, and it took him a good while tome back to his senses, hastily moving in front of An Jiuyue and kneeling down respectfully.
“I, the current Sect Master Leng Ye of the Eternal Night Sect, am honored to meet the High Priest Demon Heart and weme the High Priest to the Eternal Night Sect.”
Great Elder and Snd Elder,ming back to their senses as well, also hurriedly knelt before An Jiuyue, with the Great Elder pulling Leng Nichen down to kneel along with them.
No matter whether this person was the High Priest Demon Heart or not, they had to show respect just in case.
And besides, surely no one was foolish enough to impersonate the High Priest Demon Heart, right? Such deceptionuld lead to death, so this person before them must indeed be the High Priest Demon Heart without a doubt.
“All of you, rise. There’s no need for such formalities,” An Jiuyue said indifferently, prompting them to stand.
