Chapter 122 Waiting
The two sisters, Gufeng and Guyue, were about to attack again, but when their eyes fell on the aura emanating from Shopkeeper Pan, it was no weaker than either of them, not to mention that there was also Sha Wuhen waiting behind them, ready to make a move.
The two sisters exchanged glances, a hint of helplessness in their eyes. They knew the situation was unfavorable. If they simply confronted Shopkeeper Pan, they would surely fight, but if Sha Wuhen were to join them, their chances of victory would be slim. After careful consideration, they gritted their teeth, clasped their fists, and bowed deeply to Shopkeeper Pan, admitting defeat.
Afterwards, Gu Feng and Gu Yue slowly turned around and walked towards their rooms. Their figures gradually moved further away, eventually disappearing at the end of the corridor.
"Why did you come back and keep hiding from me?" Shopkeeper Pan watched the two cats walk away, then slowly turned her head and fixed her gaze on Sha Wuhen. Her beautiful eyes were filled with endless grievances, like a clear lake rippled by the wind.
Sha Wuhen felt the burning and resentful gaze of Shopkeeper Pan, and his heart trembled. However, when he saw that face full of grievance, although he had a thousand words in his heart, he finally chose to close his eyes silently, not daring to look at him, let alone respond.
"You...you don't even have a word of greeting?" Seeing that Sha Wuhen remained silent, Shopkeeper Pan's voice involuntarily rose eight octaves, and the excitement in his tone was beyond words.
At this time, several other people in the room were quietly lying at the door, listening intently to the conversation between the two people outside.
"Oh my, they seem to know each other! Could they be mother and son? But they don't look much alike." Bai Tang listened with relish and expressed his opinion curiously.
"Hmm...their ages don't seem to match. Maybe they are brother and sister." Da Fei has always been simple-minded, and the first thing that came to his mind was this simple and direct kinship relationship.
At this moment, Wu Song's face suddenly turned red, and he stammered, "Listen... listen to this situation, could it be... could it be..."
Before Wu Song could finish his words, the impatient Bai Xinyu couldn't wait to take over the conversation and shouted, "A couple! Do you even need to guess?" As soon as she finished speaking, everyone was stunned, and then they showed an expression of sudden enlightenment.
"Say something!" Shopkeeper Pan's voice was trembling. She was getting more and more excited, and she seemed to be out of control. She stared at Sha Wuhen with her eyes wide open, filled with complex emotions, anger and resentment. There was even a barely perceptible trace of tears in the corner of her eyes, but she concealed this subtle trace so well that it would be hard to spot without careful observation.
Sha Wuhen stared expressionlessly at the woman before him, who was nearly emotionally broken, a bitter feeling welling up in his heart. He closed his eyes slightly, took a deep breath, and slowly opened them. As if he had made up his mind, he finally steeled himself and spoke again, "Have you forgotten everything I said when I left? No matter how long you're willing to wait, you're free to do so..." Sha Wuhen knew very well how deeply these words would hurt the woman, yet the responsibility he carried was like a heavy shackle, tightly binding his heart that wanted to get closer, making it impossible for him to break free.
Shopkeeper Pan stood there, stunned, for several seconds after hearing Sha Wuhen's words. Then, the corners of her mouth suddenly curled up slightly, and a strange sound escaped her throat, one unable to tell whether it was laughter or tears. Then, like a flood bursting through a dam, two lines of crystal tears could no longer be contained, rapidly sliding down her cheeks. The next moment, she abruptly turned and dashed towards her room, her frail figure disappearing at the doorway in an instant.
"Is this shopkeeper crying or laughing?" Bai Tang couldn't help but blurt out after hearing the strange voice. However, just as he finished speaking, a cold voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Have you heard enough?"
This sudden question made Bai Tang shudder. Before he could recover, the voice rang out again: "If you haven't heard enough, I might as well tell you more!" It was obvious that the speaker was Sha Wuhen. At this moment, his tone seemed to contain a hint of teasing and playfulness.
At this moment, the tightly closed door suddenly opened a crack without any warning. Then, a small, delicate hand slowly stretched out from the crack and gently waved towards Sha Wuhen outside. As the door gradually opened, the crack grew larger and larger.
Seeing this, Sha Wuhen looked around for a moment, then, instead of entering the room as everyone expected, he turned and walked out. Bai Tang, seeing this, quickly stuck her head out and saw Sha Wuhen striding towards the opposite direction.
"Uncle, you've gone the wrong way! You've gone the wrong way!" Bai Tang shouted loudly. However, Sha Wuhen seemed to have not heard him. He continued walking forward without turning back, muttering to himself, "It's not here."
Seeing Sha Wuhen walking further and further away, Bai Tang and the others looked at each other helplessly. In the end, they had no choice but to quickly catch up with Sha Wuhen and walk out of the inn together.
Elsewhere, the two sisters from the Zi clan didn't return to their rooms like the others. Instead, they quietly hid downstairs, their ears pressed against the wall, trying to eavesdrop on the noises inside. Time ticked by, and finally, when the footsteps faded away, Gu Yue turned around, his gaze fixed on Gu Feng beside him, and he lowered his voice and said, "Sister, they're about to leave. I think we should just take action!"
Gu Feng frowned slightly, shook her head after thinking for a moment, and replied: "No, the current situation is still unclear. Not to mention that the kittens who came in from the outer sect are all extraordinary, the big white cat alone is unpredictable, and her true strength has not been seen through until now. Therefore, we still have to try our best to avoid large-scale head-on conflicts with them." After that, her gaze slowly cast towards the figures of several cats that were gradually moving away in the distance, and her mind was thinking about countermeasures fiercely as if a storm had set off.
"But..." Gu Feng changed the subject, her eyes suddenly sharp. "There are ways to lure out Sha Wuhen," she continued. Before she finished speaking, she suddenly turned her gaze to where Shopkeeper Pan was standing not far away, having just returned to his room. A sly glint flashed in her eyes. Meanwhile, Gu Yue, standing nearby, seemed to understand. After exchanging a glance with Gu Feng, the two cats vanished from the spot like ghosts, as if they had never been there in the first place.
