Wang Xiao crashed headfirst into that wall, feeling like he'd hit a block of tofu. A cool sensation washed over him, and he passed through with ease.
Then, his eyes lit up as he found himself in a room resembling a tea house's private chamber.
Inside the room was a table, and seated before it was a man dressed in black, with long hair cascading over his shoulders, sharp eyebrows, and bright eyes. His face was somewhat stern.
This guy definitely doesn't look like a good person!
Because he's too handsome!
Wang Xiao thought: This person's looks are second only to mine!
But why does this guy look so familiar?
System prompt: "Ding! Discovered key figure 'Night Emperor' Luo Xiao. Please move away as soon as possible..."
Holy crap!
My Eldest Brother!
No wonder he looks so familiar!
Wang Xiao had never met Luo Xiao, but every city had wanted posters of him. It would be hard not to recognize him.
The key point is, this is Sky City, one of the ten major cities of the orthodox Gu Masters. How could Luo Xiao, a high-ranking member of the Black Gu Master Alliance, appear here?
Most importantly, why did I plunge headfirst into his room? Is there such a coincidence in the world?
Wang Xiao's mind raced with thoughts. He quickly said, "Sorry, I came to the wrong room!"
After speaking, he turned around and headed for the wall he had come through: "Thud!"
Wang Xiao cried out, "Ouch!" as he bumped into the wall!
A faint voice came from behind him: "Wang Xiao, why don't you greet your Senior Brother when you see him!"
Wang Xiao's heart instantly turned cold. Crap, he actually recognizes me!
He really did come for me. Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that I was directly teleported in front of him!
Wang Xiao forcibly calmed himself. By the time he turned around, his face was already full of pleasant surprise: "Ah! Eldest Brother, I've finally met you! I've always heard that I have a wise and martial, handsome and compelling, suave and debonair, and supremely skilled Eldest Brother. This little brother has always yearned to meet you!
Seeing you today, Senior Brother, I find that the rumors don't even capture one ten-thousandth of your real magnificence!
The moment I saw you, Senior Brother, the admiration in my heart surged like the endless Yangtze River, and poured down like the Milky Way..."
The man in black was stunned. He seemed to be a bit dazed by the flattery!
Immediately afterward, his face turned cold: "Flattery is useless! Wang Xiao, although this is the first time I've met you, my people have collected your information! You're not a good person. You greet people with a smile on your face but stab them in the back. You've done that kind of thing a lot, haven't you?"
Wang Xiao immediately pointed to the lamp in the room and swore: "Eldest Brother, I am definitely not that kind of person!"
Luo Xiao chuckled coldly: "I don't care what kind of person you are. I have two questions to ask you. Answer them honestly, and you can suffer less!"
"Please ask, Eldest Brother. This little brother will definitely answer everything he knows and say everything he can!"
"Well, first question: When you became a disciple, did the old man tell you to kill me in the future and clean up the house for him?"
Wang Xiao shook his head without hesitation: "How is that possible! What am I worth? Could Master not see that? Based on me, even if I cultivated for ten thousand years, I wouldn't be a match for you, Eldest Brother!"
Luo Xiao's eyes were like lightning, staring at Wang Xiao's heart, making it thump wildly. He then said, "Second thing, the old man has been living in seclusion in Gold Bell City for the past thirty years. What is his purpose?"
Wang Xiao had indeed asked his master this question. Sun Hong said that he was waiting for someone, but he didn't say who.
He didn't know if this matter could be considered a secret, but Wang Xiao couldn't tell Luo Xiao the truth.
He replied, "Eldest Brother, Master's reason for living in seclusion in Gold Bell City is related to you!"
Luo Xiao raised his eyebrows: "Continue!"
Wang Xiao nodded: "Eldest Brother, think about it! There are only a few masters like our master in the whole world! Master is also a person who loves face. He cultivated such an excellent disciple like you. This is his lifelong pride!
But... later, you left Master, Eldest Brother. This greatly impacted Master, and he became disheartened, withdrew from the world, and lived in seclusion in Gold Bell City, not wanting to come out!"
Luo Xiao was silent after Wang Xiao finished speaking!
After a long while, Luo Xiao shook his head: "No, based on my understanding of the old man, he is not someone who gives up so easily. Even if he wants to live in seclusion, he will kill me first before doing so! He must have another purpose in Gold Bell City!"
Wang Xiao shook his head: "Eldest Brother, I don't know about that! To be honest, Master didn't really want to take me as a disciple. My talent is poor, and I'm also stupid. He looks down on me! I pestered him to death until he was annoyed, and he reluctantly took me as a disciple! He usually doesn't pay much attention to me. How would he tell me his purpose in Gold Bell City!"
Seeming to agree with what Wang Xiao said, Luo Xiao stopped talking.
Wang Xiao tentatively asked, "Eldest Brother, did you come to see this little brother specifically? That would really be my honor!"
Luo Xiao said indifferently: "I'm not that free. You're not qualified enough for me to come and find you specifically! I came to Sky City to find something, and this thing is likely to appear at today's auction! When you entered the black market before, I happened to come in with you. Since I've met you, I have to see what's different about you that makes you worthy of the old man taking you as a disciple..."
Wang Xiao laughed dryly: "Ah haha, I really have a fate with Eldest Brother!"
In his heart, he was truly on the verge of tears. I'm so unlucky. Even just visiting a black market, I can run into Luo Xiao. I would have rather been beaten to death than come!
(Note: The previous text referred to Luo Xiao's nickname as "Black Emperor," which was related to the natal spirit Gu he used. But now that I think about it, using "Night Emperor" is more appropriate. I can't change the previous text, but in the future, when writing about Luo Xiao, I will use "Night Emperor" as his nickname!)
