The Hall-Guarding Immortal Lord of the Demon City's Moyue Mansion pinched the communication jade slip in his hand, the corners of his lips slowly curving upward. A flash of amusement crossed his peach-blossom eyes, and with a flip of his hand, he put the jade slip away, picked up the cup of wine on the table, and drained it in one gulp. Then he lazily leaned back against the soft couch and closed his eyes for a nap.
He decided not to return to the Sword Sect for the time being. Anyway, the affairs of the Sect-Guarding Hall were being handled by Tianjun anyway, so this was a good opportunity to loaf outside for a while.
If Tianjun knew that the news he had transmitted about Jianjian's return had instead caused the Hall-Guarding Immortal Lord—who had originally planned to return to the Northern Immortal Domain—to simply linger in Moyue Mansion and refuse to go back, he would probably start sticking pins in a voodoo doll of the Hall-Guarding Immortal Lord. The fellow was clearly just trying to shirk his duties and avoid returning to handle the affairs of the Sect-Guarding Hall.
