Chapter 418 Imperial Conferment of the Ten Masters of the Second Hall of Yama

20xx. 08 . 24
Around one o'clock in the morning, the boys and I went into the bedroom, leaving Shaw alone in the study to work, again waiting for an announcement before he could go to bed.

Around four o'clock in the morning, I was woken up by the sound of tick-tock on the rain eaves, and I was very upset.I lay quietly for a while, my brain gradually came to my senses, and I felt that the ritual of Xiao being made the second hall master did not seem to be going very smoothly.

Xiao still didn't receive any calls until after ten o'clock in the morning. He felt very sleepy and tired, but he didn't dare to sleep.I saw it in my eyes and was anxious in my heart.

The failure of the edict seal should be related to his current lack of merit, but I can't say it clearly, because Xiao has never known where his merit has been used.

"Let Zhu'er go down and inquire about the reason for the delay. Logically speaking, it shouldn't take so long." Xiao said.

I didn't expect Xiao to think of sending Zhu'er to inquire about the news this time, because people always like to send Hei Xuan there, after all, he is the fastest.

"Okay then, Zhu'er, you just have to work hard." I said.

Zhuer went away for a long time and did not return, which made Xiao and I even more restless.

After four o'clock in the afternoon, Zhu'er still hadn't returned. I finally couldn't sit still and asked Xiao to contact the Taoist temple in person.

"The Taoist temple didn't explain the reason, it just said that the sacrifices were not enough, and additional fees would be charged." Xiao said.

The additional fee was not too much, but it was added twice, which made me feel more anxious.

"The Taoist priest said it will end soon." Xiao said.

"Oh, that's fine, as long as it's over," I said.

Zhu'er also came back, still in a state of drunkenness from last night.

"Let you inquire about some news. You have only come back since you left in the morning. What's the situation?" I looked at Zhu'er very dissatisfied.

"I've been staying there, they said it will end soon, so I just came back." Zhu'er said.

I didn't speak, but I felt very uncomfortable. Is this how Zhu'er does things?After all, I didn't see him bring back any definite news, and I still can't find out what caused the ritual ceremony to fail to end smoothly.

At around ten o'clock in the night, Xiao hadn't slept for more than thirty-six hours, and he looked sluggish. I even suspected that he would die suddenly.

"It's been five hours since I said it was going to be finished at five o'clock in the afternoon. Is the closing time too long? Are you trying to make me angry?" I looked angrily.

"Honey, Taoist people work very hard." Xiao whispered.

"Did I say they didn't work hard? Which one didn't work hard? But, what is the reason why the ritual can't be completed until now, and you can't figure it out. Especially Zhu'er, who walked for a long time and didn't see him take the Give me an accurate message." I was even more angry.

"After Zhu'er saw that you were angry, it will go down again. Don't get angry, or the city of FL will be destroyed again." Xiao said.

"If you destroy it, rebuild it, there is no shortage of money! What is Zhuer going to do? Are you trying to put me off? Did I send him to guard the Taoist temple?" I squinted my eyes.

Zhu'er returned soon, saying that it was because Xiao's merits were insufficient, and he needed to replenish his merits, which was enough just now.

"Where are all the merits of Papa Xiao going, don't you know?" I said angrily.

The study was quiet, no one answered my words, I left the study angrily and didn't bother to look at them.

At eleven fifty, Xiao finally received a call.

"I'm going down immediately to be appointed as the Second Hall Master. It will take at least two hours. Go to bed first." Xiao looked very excited.

"Well, let's go." I said without expression.

I walked into the bedroom in a low mood, planning to sleep, maybe I was too tired.
