Chapter 1335 Gathering People
Passing by the iron chain bridge, Lin Hao chuckled upon hearing this:
"Actually, Si Teng isn't as bad as you think. Once you get to know her, you'll find that she's really not a bad person!"

"She really has something to say and wants to see those Suspense Masters. Don't worry, everything will be alright!"

"Hey, bro!" Yan Furui stopped Lin Hao and took out his phone, saying:
"Let's exchange phone numbers. Let me know if there's any news. Maybe there's someone capable in Changming Mountain who can help us uproot this problem from the inside!"

Lin Hao said irritably, "What are you thinking? Si Teng is the wife I've reserved. You actually want to team up with me to kill her? Are you crazy?"

Yan Furui panicked: "He's a member of the Kai tribe, and you're human! How can you two be together?! Brother, don't let lust cloud your judgment!"

Lin Hao waved his hand and said, "It's none of your business. Let lust cloud my judgment, that's what I want!"

Despite saying that, Lin Hao still exchanged phone numbers with Yan Furui.

Seeing that Lin Hao couldn't persuade him no matter what he did, Yan Furui had no choice but to give up. After asking Lin Hao to take good care of Wafang, he reluctantly said goodbye to Wafang and left.

Leading the tiled house back to Xingyun Pavilion, Lin Hao found Si Teng sitting elegantly on a bamboo chair in the courtyard.

"Come here, Wafang, call her Auntie!" Lin Hao gestured to Wafang.

Wafang pouted and said reluctantly, "She's not an auntie, she's an alien!"

Lin Hao gently patted Wafang's head and said with a smile, "Don't talk nonsense!"

Si Teng smiled knowingly and said, "Don't worry, I won't eat him for now. Go find me a place to stay right now!"

"I know you're just trying to scare him, but now you're getting used to using me, aren't you? How are you going to talk to your future husband like that?"

Lin Hao didn't really care about Si Teng's commanding tone, but with his extensive experience in picking up girls, he absolutely couldn't encourage her attitude.

So he flashed to Si Teng's side, pulled her up, and slapped her hard a few times.

"Lin Hao, you~~~!!" Si Teng was furious, her face flushed red, and she glared fiercely at Lin Hao.

No one has ever treated her like this in all these years!
Even back then, Qiu Shan would only whip her with a rattan cane or lock her in a cage, depriving her of food and water.

"Alright, I'm off!" Lin Hao chuckled, lightly touched the ground with his toes, and stepped over the wall of the Nebula Pavilion, heading towards the vicinity.

······
On the other side, after Yan Furui and Wang Qiankun came down the mountain, Wang Qiankun took Yan Furui to the hospital.

The sole purpose was to check whether Si Teng had actually put something inside his body.

After a while, Wang Qiankun walked happily over to Yan Furui, who was sitting in the rest area, and handed him the film.

"What is this?" Yan Furui asked curiously after taking it.

“A chest X-ray!” Wang Qiankun replied.
"My lungs are my lungs, my heart is my heart, my ribs are my ribs, my bronchi are my bronchi, there's nothing that shouldn't be there, my body is perfectly healthy!"

Yan Furui sighed, feeling a headache coming on.

"Kun'er, I don't want to waste any more time with you. We're in big trouble! We've messed with Si Teng. You'd better tell your master right away."

Wang Qiankun said calmly, "After careful consideration, I still believe that all of this can be explained by science. She is not the real Si Teng!"

"If she's not Si Teng, then what is she?" Yan Furui almost laughed in anger. Even after all this, the person in front of him still didn't believe him.

Wang Qiankun said seriously, "Hypnosis, I've told you about it before!"

"What the hell?" Yan Furui frowned.

Wang Qiankun sat up straight and began to analyze seriously:

"If what Si Teng says is true, and I have thousands upon thousands of vines on my body, then a chest X-ray should be able to detect the presence of this substance!"

"Now that nothing has been detected, it means there is nothing at all. So all the pain I suffered before was caused by the anesthetic!"

In contrast to Wang Qiankun, who always invokes science, Yan Furui is more inclined to believe in the real-life Si Teng, and then said speechlessly:
"What about the fact that she covered your mouth with a rattan cane?"

Wang Qiankun affirmed, "That's also hypnosis!"

"And this one?" Yan Furui said, rolling up the sleeve at Wang Qiankun's wrist.

There was a green vine mark on it.

After taking a look, Wang Qiankun said confidently:

"Yan Furui, you're something else! You drew this thing for me when I wasn't looking, trying to scare me, huh? But it's actually quite pretty!"

At this point, Wang Qiankun stood up from the chair in the rest area and walked towards the hospital entrance.

Yan Furui shook his head helplessly, got up and chased after Wang Qiankun, putting his arm around Wang's shoulder and complaining:
"They say knowledge changes destiny, but this little bit of knowledge of yours has ruined you for life!"

Wang Qiankun said optimistically, "Just wait and see, I'm sure nothing will happen to me."

Yan Furui asked, "Are you going back now?"

Wang Qiankun replied, "Go back. Go back and as soon as you open and close your eyes, just pretend nothing happened."

"Walk"

"Hmm!" Wang Qiankun hummed in response, then collapsed to the ground, motionless.

Upon seeing this, Yan Furui quickly picked him up and ran towards Changming Academy.

Then, he met the owner of Changming Academy, President Canghong.

The old president, whose Taoist name was Canghong, was over seventy years old, with white hair and beard, and had a very venerable and otherworldly air about him.

When Yan Furui met him, Chairman Cang Hong was practicing calligraphy. His characters were as strong as pine trees, penetrating the paper. The inscription read: "The highest good is like water, gentle and unassuming."

The young master, who was leading the way, gestured for Yan Furui to be quiet, saying that it wouldn't be too late to get to the point after the old chairman finished signing.

But Yan Furui couldn't wait any longer and rushed into the guild hall, shouting, "Old Chairman, something terrible has happened! That Kazuya named Si Teng has returned!"

However, the master who was leading the way blocked Yan Furui's way, while inwardly complaining that the other party was being tactless.

I thought Yan Furui wanted to meet the chairman, and I thought it was about Wang Qiankun's illness. I didn't expect it to be about the Yi ethnic group. Do you think this is a TV show?
Just as he was about to stamp and sign his work, upon hearing Yan Furui's words, the seal in his hand fell onto the calligraphy with a snap.

Suddenly, with a loud bang, the square seal flipped over several times on the ground and landed diagonally on the Xuan paper, with the side bearing the red seal script facing up. The four characters, written in bold, iron strokes, read: "Seal of Gang Hong".

Cang Hong sat blankly in the chair, muttering to himself, "More than seventy years have passed, and she has really returned!"

"Cough cough cough!" Then Cang Hong began to cough uncontrollably.

Near Cangcheng Mountain, Lin Hao rented an old-fashioned courtyard house according to Si Teng's preferences. The front of the porch was full of flowers and plants, and the back of the house was covered with bamboo groves.

Wind chimes hung from the eaves, and there was a gourd-shaped pond in the yard, planted with green ivy and hyacinths. A few orange-red koi fish lingered among the green stems, making it a very pleasing sight.

Lin Hao led Si Teng and Wa Fang to the rented courtyard: "How is it? Quiet amidst the hustle and bustle, not bad, right?"

Si Teng said indifferently, "Just make do with it!"

Lin Hao chuckled and said, "Good heavens, why don't you just fly to the moon? This is passable? What, you want to live in the Forbidden City?"

"Hmph!" Si Teng rolled his eyes at Lin Hao. "Uncle, I'm hungry!" Suddenly, Wa Fang grabbed Lin Hao's hand and said.

Lin Hao looked down at the tiled house: "What do you want to eat?"

Wafang pouted and said, "I want to eat the skewers that Master makes."

Lin Hao nodded solemnly and said, "Your master's skewers, but he's not here right now!"

"How about this?" Lin Hao said after thinking for a moment.

"I saw some for sale near the entrance. It might not taste as good as your master's, but just eat some, okay?"

Upon hearing that Lin Hao was leaving, Wafang immediately protested, grabbing Lin Hao's trouser leg and shouting loudly with a fearful expression:
"Uncle, you can't leave! She'll eat me!"

Upon hearing this, Si Teng glanced at the tiled house, then pretended to be fierce and said, "Children's skin and flesh are the most delicious, I can eat them one by one!"

Upon hearing this, Wafang cried out, his voice trembling with fear and a hint of malice, "My master, my master will defeat you!"

"How childish you are!" Lin Hao was speechless at Si Teng's childishness.

Si Teng rolled her eyes at Lin Hao, then said to the tile-roofed house, "Who wants to eat you? You look disgusting!"

Si Teng continued walking inside, and once she was out of sight, Wa Fang pulled Lin Hao aside and said:

"Uncle Lin, aren't you afraid of her?"

"Why should I be afraid of her!" Lin Hao smiled, then squatted down and said:
"In a tiled house, sometimes you can't judge a book by its cover when it comes to how people get along, you know?"

“That’s right!” Wafang said seriously, “Although she’s so beautiful, she’s an alien!”

"But Uncle Lin, don't be afraid. My master will definitely be able to find a capable person to eliminate this alien!"

Lin Hao patted Wafang's head and said, "What Uncle Lin means is that she's not actually that bad. Even when people are together, they may not know the truth!"

"But to judge good and evil without people interacting with each other is really a bit hasty!"

The tile-roofed house was too small, and the child didn't understand the complicated explanation, so he said in a daze, "Uncle Lin, what are you saying? I don't understand!"

"You'll understand when you grow up!" Lin Hao shook his head and said.

"Hmm!" Wafang nodded, then pointed at Si Teng and said:
"Will she eat it or not? If she doesn't like it, will she throw a tantrum?"

Lin Hao smiled and said, "She won't eat, and she won't get angry!"

······
On the other side, Changming Mountain!
President Cang Hong started making phone calls, trying to find former members of the Suspended Gate.

Unfortunately, the Suspended Sect has long been in decline. Since this stuff can't be eaten, many people have given up their identity as Suspended Masters and no longer cultivate it.

After all, the most important thing for a person to live is to fill their own stomach, and there is no salary for being a stuntman.

Fortunately, it wasn't without its gains; those masters whose lineage hadn't been severed were still willing to make the trip.

They then continued to contact as many people from the Suspended Gate as possible.

Although President Cang Hong had called many descendants of the Suspended Gate, he indicated that only five could come.

Bai Jin of the Bai family in Wuyi Lane, Jiudao Street; Shen Yindeng of Xuanjian Cave; Ma Qiuyang, the antique dealer; Pan Qinian, the real estate agent; and Ding Dacheng, the car rental driver.

······
At Cangcheng Mountain, Lin Hao accompanied Wafang to eat some skewers, and then took out the juice and drinks he had specially bought and handed them to Si Teng.

Although Sito doesn't like to eat food, she does like to drink water and sugar.

Si Teng stared intently at him: "Lin Hao, can you help me buy a bolt of the finest satin?"

"Of course!"

Lin Hao nodded, then asked, "Are you going to do it yourself?"

After a soft "hmm," Si Teng said, "The clothes sold in the store are all too rough, so I'm going to make them myself!"

Lin Hao put on a smile: "How about making a few for me too?"

Upon hearing this, Si Teng lowered his head and pondered for a moment before replying, "Okay!"

"Okay, I'll go right away!" Seeing that Si Teng did not refuse, Lin Hao's joy was evident.

The fact that Si Teng was willing to make clothes for him already says a lot.

At the very least, she should have some goodwill towards him, and that is already a significant improvement.

While Lin Hao went to buy satin, Si Teng sat alone at the tea table in the courtyard, brewing tea cup by cup and sipping it slowly.

Children are forgetful. Seeing Si Teng eating with relish, Wa Fang sneaked over, pouting and staring intently at the snacks on the tea table.

"Would you like some tea?" Si Teng asked.

Wafang shook his head, and Si Teng smiled sweetly at him: "Want some snacks?"

Wafang whispered, "Yes!"

Si Teng poured the tea and said with a smile, "If you want to eat, hurry up and wash your face. You're always so snotty and tearful, it hurts my eyes to see you like that!"

Seeing that Si Teng agreed, Wa Fang lowered his head and quickly ran to the pond in the yard where he kept ornamental fish to wash his face haphazardly.

······
Meanwhile, at Changming Academy, the members of the Xuanmen sect, invited by the old president of Cangcheng, arrived.

In the reception room of the guild hall, everyone sat around the table.

Guild Master Cang Hong looked at everyone gratefully and said, "We are deeply grateful to everyone for coming from afar to save my disciple!"

At this point, President Cang Hong pointed to Yan Furui and introduced him: "This is a disciple of Master Qiu Shan from the Xingyun Pavilion of Cangcheng Mountain!"

"He was also the first to discover the signs of the resurrected Si Teng of the Kagyu tribe, and he and my disciple Wang Qiankun personally witnessed the resurrected Si Teng!"

"Yes!" Yan Furui nodded, and stood up at the opportune moment to say:
"You are all members of the Suspended Gate, so I won't lie. Si Teng said that the Vine Killer, which is the thing planted in Wang Qiankun's body, has a ten-day limit. On the tenth day, it will take effect and attack the heart!"

"Therefore, the guild leader gathered everyone together to save his life. If the vine killing cannot be lifted by the ninth day, then we should all go to Cangcheng Mountain to beg him."

"What? We have to beg her?" Taxi driver Ding Dacheng immediately became furious upon hearing this and shouted angrily.

After all, how could Ding Dacheng tolerate being asked to beg by a mere member of the Bai tribe, a true member of the Xuanmen sect?

Yan Furui then said, "Well, she begged us!"

Ding Dacheng shouted, "What could she possibly want from us?"

“That’s right, that’s right!” Yan Furui echoed, then added:
"Si Teng means that if we don't go, she will kill Wang Qiankun first, and then she will come to greet each and every household!"
