Several people "happily" agreed, of course.
However, as they walked further in, Qi Tian and Lin Xiao walked shoulder to shoulder, and he sent a telepathic message to Lin Xiao.
"Lin Xiao, as a partner, it's not very good of you to trap me like this," Qi Tian's tone was already tinged with anger.
The situation he least wanted to see had already happened to him.
"How did I trap you? I originally thought you weren't around here. I didn't expect you to suddenly appear. I admire you for carrying this world in your heart." Lin Xiao feigned ignorance and innocence. "I just spoke too quickly just now. After I said it, I realized I was rambling. I apologize for that."
"It's not just a simple apology, is it?" Qi Tian sent a telepathic message, neither warm nor cold. This time, he had made a deep impression on both sides, and this was not the development path he wanted.
"Don't worry, I'm familiar with the contemporary Nether Doctors of the Ning family. They won't think much of you, and I promise that I won't poison the food during dinner later," Lin Xiao continued his telepathic message.
"..."
Qi Tian no longer wanted to chat with Lin Xiao. This guy had no sincerity at all, and he could only suffer in silence.
He would find an opportunity to punish Lin Xiao properly later.
Since he had already entered the Divine Realm, he had the ability to act against Lin Xiao. Although Lin Xiao was in the Half-Step Divine Realm before, he was still half a step short. He was merely an ordinary person. Now that he had entered the Divine Realm, he should let him get a good taste of what a Divine Realm expert was.
When they arrived at the dinner table, Fang Qing sat there, clearly restless.
Lai Wuwei and Lu Qingfeng's expressions remained grim, whether they were looking at Ning Yu or occasionally glancing at Qi Tian and Lin Xiao.
"I believe the three of you are well aware that the reason we've kept you is not because my Ning family has too much food to finish, but merely to get a statement from the Misty Immortal Palace," Ning Yu said, tapping lightly on the table before the dishes were served.
The Undying Bone had already been put away, and its massive body was hidden somewhere.
"What statement is there to make? You heretics!" Lai Wuwei snorted coldly, but was immediately glared at by Fang Qing.
"Pedantic."
The Nether Doctor said indignantly, "What is a heretic? Doing harmful deeds is heresy. My Ning family has never done anything harmful in all these years. My Ning family's heritage is vast, encompassing not only the art of healing and saving lives but also extensive writings on flora, fauna, and birds. Your Misty Immortal Palace, on the other hand, has remained secluded, and now that you've appeared, you think yourselves righteous crusaders. Times have changed, you know?"
"Youngster, do you have a place to speak here?" Lu Qingfeng immediately rebuked when he heard the Nether Doctor speak.
"What, do you find my words to be reasonable, and you don't know how to reply, so you resort to relying on your age to suppress me? You're not my elder nor my superior, so what right do you have to scold me? Moreover... you are the fish and I am the knife, Elder Lu."
The Nether Doctor was naturally relentless. He was not some pure novice who had cultivated in the mountains for many years and had just emerged, ignorant of the world. He had also ventured out with Lin Xiao for many years.
"Ning Yu, you, the current Nether Doctor, are quite eloquent."
