“What’s that sound?” Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming, who were talking to Film Emperor Ruan and the others, heard the commotion, and were a bit startled.

Ruan Shenglin, Yang Kun and Xu Tong also heard a strange roar. It was especially unpleasant and a little creepy, and didn’t sound like a human or an animal. They were a bit stumped, but compared with Ruan Shenglin and Yang Kun’s nervousness, Xu Tong didn’t think much of it. She just echoed, “What did you hear? What was that?”

Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming didn’t reply. They were inexplicably worried about Master Chi. As soon as they got up, they saw Director Feng push the door open and come in. His face didn’t look good. Their hearts jumped and they hurriedly called out, “Director Feng!” After a pause, they were about to probe weakly if something had happened to Master Chi.

Soon, there was a knock on the door and the voices of a few villagers, who were looking for them and wanted them to open the door.

Yang Kun and Ruan Shenglin still hadn’t recovered from the fright with Pan Jiang, and had always kept the door firmly shut in the evening since then. If someone came knocking, they didn’t open it, not even for acquaintances.

But there were many people around them at that moment, so Yang Kun and Ruan Shenglin were still relatively calm. When they saw that Brother Wu and Brother Xiao were about to open the door, however, the two of them still hurriedly stopped them nervously. “Wait, Brother Wu, Brother Xiao, don’t open the door. Didn’t Master Chi say that the villagers here are normal during the day, but they’re probably… possessed at night? It’s best not to open the door, right?”

The stupefied Xu Tong and Feng Yuanlin didn’t get it.

In the end, Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming remembered that incident, and whispered a few words in Director Feng’s ear. As for the pregnant Xu Tong, everyone deliberately kept it from her, for fear of scaring her.

Seeing that there was no movement inside for a long time, Village Chief Pan of Dashan Village personally stepped forward and knocked on the door. When he knocked, he let them know that he was the village chief and had something to discuss with them.

Since it was the village chief who had knocked, they had to open the door even if they didn’t want to.

Yang Kun and Ruan Shenglin were still a little scared when they thought of Pan Jiang, especially Yang Kun. He had treated Pan Jiang like a normal person at first, and had wanted to give him a gift. Who would have thought that the simple villager would suddenly turn around and want to kill him? In any case, after that incident, he had less and less guts.

Feng Yuanlin wasn’t as timid as Yang Kun. The other party sounded very normal, and wasn’t likely to be some other ‘thing.’ He went over to open the door.

“Wait, Brother Feng!” Yang Kun hurriedly called out, his eyes filled with alarm and fear. Although Ruan Shenglin was nervous, he relaxed slightly in the company of so many people. Besides, if the village chief was looking for them, they really had no choice but to open the door. There were so many people around, so the situation shouldn’t be as bad as last time. Besides, they still had the talismans from Master Chi. Thinking this, Ruan Shenglin got over his fear. He pulled at Brother Kun, who was about to call out to Director Feng, and whispered in his ear. After Yang Kun settled down, Ruan Shenglin said to Feng Yuanlin, “Brother Feng, open the door. Maybe the village chief really has something to tell us!”

Feng Yuanlin’s eyes had some admiration as he looked at Ruan Shenglin. Film Emperor Ruan wasn’t a coward, and was also rational and knew how to prioritize matters. Feng Yuanlin already had a good impression of Film Emperor Ruan’s acting, and now found him even more pleasing to the eye.

He pulled the door open.

Sure enough!

The person at the door was Village Chief Pan, whom they had seen a few times before, and he had been followed by a few villagers. Although their faces were a bit pale under the light of their torches, their expressions were still normal and they didn’t look like what Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming had described. Feng Yuanlin relaxed.

Shuyan wasn’t here. If he really ran into that kind of thing, he probably wouldn’t be able to do anything.

Feng Yuanlin squeezed out a smile and said, “Village Chief Pan, you’re here? May I know what’s so urgent at this late hour?”

‘Pan Dalei’ raised his eyes and was about to speak, when his eyes fell on the face of the man who had opened the door. His gaze was a bit deep, strange and dark. He looked at the person’s face a few more times strangely, and the smile on his face disappeared. After a while, he smiled kindly again, looked inside, and teased, “Why is it so lively?”

Feng Yuanlin had always been very sharp. He took in the man’s subtle expressions and took a closer look. There was a kind smile on the man’s face, but in fact, there wasn’t much of a smile in his eyes, especially when his gaze fell on Feng Yuanlin’s face earlier; his eyes had clearly flashed with some doubt.

Feng Yuanlin narrowed his eyes and felt that the other party seemed very surprised to see him here.

He didn’t have time to think about it at that moment. He didn’t let down his guard, and very naturally found a reasonable excuse.

“Pan Dalei” nodded and didn’t say that he didn’t believe him. His eyes wandered to his face again and he said, “I see!”

Soon, he changed the subject and said, “That’s good. Everyone is here, so it saves me the trouble of visiting all of you to let you know: I’m here this time to inform you that tonight is a good time to invite in the True Buddha. Because it’s the True Buddha’s birthday tomorrow morning, everyone in our village is very busy. I’m afraid we don’t have time to show you how to do the ritual at the temple. Why don’t we go tonight? It’s also convenient for us tonight!”

After a pause, as if afraid that they would refuse, ‘Pan Dalei’ directly said again, “I see that you’re free now! It’ll only take a while to go to the temple to invite in the True Buddha. It shouldn’t take up too much of your time, and won’t take long!”

Feng Yuanlin could tell that Village Chief Pan had made up his mind to make them invite in the True Buddha Lord or whatever tonight, and wouldn’t take no for an answer. He didn’t panic and nodded at ‘Pan Dalei.’ “Okay, I’ll let them know!”

Feng Yuanlin was about to tell the village chief in front of him to leave first, but who would have thought that the other party would beat him to it and say with a smile, “Okay, I’ll wait here for your answer!”
