Hu Yihui remained silent, clearly furious as well, but his thoughts were not on Xu Hongbo. Through careful observation, he knew well that Ancestor Fengyi, Ming Jingxi, was someone who responded to softness rather than harshness. Bringing Xu Ruoping into such danger during this trip to the Underworld was the last thing he wanted to see. Now trapped in some inexplicable parallel universe, he had no desire to blindly fight a life-and-death battle with Ancestor Fengyi. Distracting the other party was an urgent priority at the moment.
With a light cough, he turned, bowed deeply and politely toward the vague and indistinct void, and spoke with respectful courtesy yet neither servile nor overbearing: "Please pardon my presumption, but while the Ancestor is hardly one to seek undeserved fame, surely you would not willingly trap yourself in this place for hundreds of years. Is there some unspeakable hardship you might share with us? Though we lack great talent, within our modest capabilities, we certainly will not stand by and ignore it."
*I've been waiting for you to say that!*
