nThe roof of Plenty Gold Company…

nXu Xiaoshou sat in this high location with his legs dangling. Watching from a distance, one might suspect that he wanted to commit suicide.

n

n

nHowever, the Plenty Gold Company building was too high, so ordinary people couldn’t see him from the ground. On the other hand, the spiritual cultivators, who were able to see him, had no time or energy to pay attention to such a matter or a person who was idle enough to come to the roof.

nAs such, it was certain that no one would come there to intervene.

nOf course, Xu Xiaoshou was not desperate as to commit suicide.

nHe just couldn’t figure things out.

n

n

nIn the midst of a strong wind, Xu Xiaoshou ate the beef with his hands. He had almost finished eating one meal. He witnessed the scene on the ground from the beginning to the end.

nHe saw Mu Zixi being confined the first time and then being trapped again.

nAs for why he didn’t get down to save his junior sister…

n“Hey, why did things end up like this? I just killed one person, so why have so many powerful swordsmen come?” Xu Xiaoshou thought with a worried expression on his face.

n

n

nHe fixed his gaze on the swordsman holding the sword, who was the leader of the three swordsmen. To be precise, he gazed at the gray-green ancient sword in his hands.

nThere was an inexplicable pulsation in his heart.

nThe pulsation seemed to be a call from ancient times, or a tremor from the depths of the soul, which was mysterious, complicated, and inexplicable.

nXu Xiaoshou had experienced this feeling.

nHe had felt it when he encountered Su Qianqian’s Epitaph of City Snow and Lei Shuanxing’s Whipping God Staff.

n“Is it another famous sword?”

n

n

nThe young man covered his head with his hands in pain, thinking that it was another famous sword. It meant that there was at least a swordsman as powerful as Xiao Qixiu backing the sword.

nWorst of all, more terrifying characters, such as the masked man, might show up as well.

n“I shouldn’t get involved in such trouble!”

nMoreover, there were more things Xu Xiaoshou couldn’t figure out.

nHe moved his line of sight away and focused on the swordsman with nine swords standing behind the swordsman holding the sword.

n“There are nine swords…”

n“Cough, cough!” Xu Xiaoshou choked on the beef in his mouth and couldn’t stop coughing.

nAll the nine swords couldn’t be famous, but the red one in the center attracted Xu Xiaoshou’s attention, causing a pulsation in his soul.

n

n

n“Damn, what the hell is the background of these guys? Two famous swords among three of them?”

n“Does their family forge famous swords or specialize in selling famous swords?”

n“Are they from a famous sword specialty store?”

nXu Xiaoshou felt envious. “It’s true that one can become very angry when comparing oneself with the others. I don’t even have one famous sword, but these three swordsmen have two.”

nHe took a deep breath and tried to forget the distracting thoughts in his mind.

nYet, the possessions and actions of the three swordsmen were no longer important because they seemed intent on leaving.

nThe other two powerful swordsmen were the problem.

n“Tangtang and Gugu?”

nXu Xiaoshou fell silent.

nSeeing the purple chain and golden Zen staff, he recalled seeing the small copper stove Mo Mo always held.

nThe power sealed on them was the same as Mo Mo’s.

n“So, are there two grey mist figures?”

n“Damn it!”

n

n

n“My junior sister, have you done something that angered heaven and people?”

n“Your senior brother only left for just a little while, but you have made such a big mess.”

n“Who can clean up the mess?”

nAlthough he was extremely reluctant and had millions of reasons to refuse, Xu Xiaoshou couldn’t keep on sitting on the roof after he heard the heart-wrenching cry from his junior sister.

nHe threw the cooked beef aside.

nHe stood up.

n“I shouldn’t get hit from such a long distance, and the cause and effect won’t be my problem either.”

nXu Xiaoshou had chosen to believe in mystics. That belief was reinforced by the array wheel.

nSeeing the vicious Jiao Tangtang approaching Mu Zixi, he cupped his mouth with his hands and roared, “Halt feet!”

n…

nAmong the crowd below…

n“Halt feet!”

n“Feet!”

n“!”

nThe loud roar echoed in the sky. Everyone was startled and lifted their heads.

nStared at, passive points, 342.

nSuspected, passive points, 333.

nXu Xiaoshou was surprised to find that he seemed to have attracted more attention by doing so.

n“Ahem, that wasn’t my original intention…”

nIt always seemed to happen when he had no interest in earning the passive points. Still, the outcome seemed to always be unexpected.

nThe crowd looked around, but the majority of them had no idea what was going on.

n“Who is talking? Come out. Don’t pretend to be a ghost!”

n“Ha-ha, you can’t see it. He is on the roof.”

n“Can you see him?”

n“I can’t but look at the spiritual cultivators. They are all looking up at the roof of the building. He must be on the roof!”

n“Huh…”

nMu Zixi was delighted. She swept the high altitude with her spiritual senses.

nXu Xiaoshou?

nShe was on the verge of becoming starry-eyed.

nThe senior brother she dreamed of should have been someone who would caress her head and say, “It’s okay,” when she did something wrong, or someone who would arrive from nowhere and say, “I’m here,” when she was in trouble and helpless.

nXu Xiaoshou hadn’t done any of those things before, so would he arrive by stepping on the colorful auspicious clouds this time?

nAs expected, the girl who liked to dream usually had good fortune.

nMu Zixi was expectant excitedly. Her twin ponytails stuck up in the air.

nHowever, she saw Xu Xiaoshou on the roof of the high-rise building dilly-dallying. He didn’t come down. Instead, he continued cupping his mouth with his hands.

n“Junior Sister! If you did something wrong, you apologize first, and your senior brother will come to pick you up later!”

nMu Zixi was confused.

nA shocked expression showed in her eyes, which was similar to the one she had when she witnessed Jiao Tangtang kick the Master Stage swordsman and send him flying.

n“This…”

nAt this moment, she was so angry that her head hurt. Her twin ponytails were about to split.

n“What kind of a senior brother is he?”

n“Actually, I shouldn’t have expected anything from him!”

nThe beam in the little girl’s eyes dimmed.

nJiao Tangtang looked upward with a smirk. For a spiritual cultivator, the distance between the roof of the building and the ground was nothing.

n“Is that your senior brother?”

nShe suddenly paused. The mocking expression was frozen on her face.

nGreedy the Cat Spirit…

nHow could Greedy the Cat Spirit be there behind this lad?

nAlso, what was that thing in its mouth?

n“Meat!”

nXin Gugu shouted incredulously by her side, his voice filled with panic.

n“Are you kidding me?” Jiao Tantang was furious.

nShe instantly left Mu Zixi behind, flew up, and landed on the roof of the Plenty Gold Company building.

nWhoosh!

nGreedy the Cat Spirit was even faster. With the stolen cooked beef in its mouth, it leaped boldly onto Xu Xiaoshou, whose body the beast cat had been craving for a while.

n“Meow.”

nWhat happened next was unexpected.

nThe cat was totally enthralled. It had weak knees and fell on Xu Xiaoshou’s conical hat. It dropped the cooked beef and greedily inhaled the surging life force.

n“Wow.”

nAfter inhaling once, the cat had spasms all over its body as if it had sucked on sour candy. It completely lost consciousness. It twitched nonstop and spewed out white foam.

n“What are you, a poisonous person?” Jiao Tangtang was baffled because it was the first time that she had seen Greedy the Cat Spirit act like that.

nWas this lad really poisonous?

nShe didn’t believe that there was something special about the lad and gave it a try. Once she tried it, the surging life force inside Xu Xiaoshou’s body was so strong that she was dumbfounded.

nShe thought it was lucky to have Mu Zixi, who had a great deal of life force, but the young man…

nIn comparison to the young man, the little girl below was nothing.

nThe two of them were like the difference between a lake and a sea. No, it was the difference between a stream and an ocean.

nOne was much stronger than the other.

nBefore she could calm down, Jiao Tangtang saw the young man reach his hand to the top of his head with a bewildered expression on his face.

n“What the heck is this?”

nXu Xiaoshou brought down the cat beast. When he found out that it was the cat, he threw it away without a second thought.

nJiao Tangtang couldn’t believe it.

nHer face turned pale when she saw the cat beast had been thrown away in such a casual manner. She felt that her faith had been insulted.

n“You, how dare you threw away Greedy the Cat Spirit!”

n“Well, something is not right.”

n“Can you see it?” The woman displayed an alarmed expression on her face.

n
