Feng Jiu was tempted to leave at this point because the elderly man's strength was unfathomable. But, she wasn't sure what to do when she thought about the elderly man's facial expression and the casual way he talked.
What kind of person was he, though? One thing was certain: the elderly man was the alchemist in this place. This alchemist was clearly witnessing everything that was going on, but he said nothing and instead dragged her away to drink wine.
She was a little baffled by this; exactly what did the other party want?
She returned after catching two Phoenix-tailed spirit chickens. It wasn't that she didn't want to leave; she just knew the elderly man wouldn't let her go and would follow her as soon as she slipped away. Because the other party had an unfathomable strength, it's possible that she wouldn't notice that he was right behind her.
