It was too quiet, eerily quiet.
No one expected that when Old Master Qingyi overturned the gambling table, ready to engage in a real fight with the Red Lantern Lady, such a mysterious carriage would appear.
Even more unexpected was that upon seeing this carriage, the furious Red Lantern Lady and Old Master Qingyi, two of Mingzhou Prefecture's top-ranking evil spirits, would become so docile.
Outsiders didn't know what had happened in the town. Only a few people closer to the scene saw the carriage enter. The Red Lantern Lady and Old Master Qingyi both appeared, kneeling respectfully before the carriage. People vaguely saw the carriage curtain lift, and the person inside chatted amiably with both of them.
But no one knew for sure what was said, and no one dared to listen.
They only knelt after the carriage entered the town, waiting anxiously outside for news.
Neither side was sure if the news would be favorable to them, only knowing they must accept it.
