In an instant, the atmosphere was deadly silent.
The old ghost hunter's bone-carving motion abruptly halted.
It took a full minute before he picked up a relatively fresh human bone and resumed carving.
"You... have seen her?"
The old ghost hunter's voice was hoarse, and the tone alone made it impossible to discern joy or sorrow.
"I have,"
Yi Lin replied succinctly, without going into detail.
The encounter... was not at all pleasant.
"You actually survived?"
The old ghost hunter looked up, his murky eyes flashing with a sharp light.
Yi Lin met the old ghost hunter's gaze...
Of course, Yi Lin wasn't bored enough to go through "Calamity Entwining" again.
It was simply a mutual glance.
"You should leave,"
The old ghost hunter did not ask for details about Yi Lin's encounter with Nie Hongxie.
"Since you've survived, leave this mountain, or else, in the end... you will die. That ghost... is not something you rookies can handle."
