Chapter 1165 - 1160: Xiao Xuxu
The Jade Stone Daoist was furious, yet retained his composure.
His original intention was to have the guards detain the person
and then gradually resort to harsh interrogation.
If the individual had a notable background,
then torturing them before releasing them was acceptable,
because the opponent had first injured his disciple; even in negotiations, he was not afraid.
After all, he had the moral high ground.
If the opponent lacked background,
then apologies aside,
the Jade Stone Daoist was already considering which torture methods to use on Qin Hao.
In the midst of his thoughts,
two hundred guards shouted together in a deafening roar.
"Kill!"
Suddenly, an overwhelming murderous intent swept towards Qin Hao.
Qin Hao felt a malicious wind stirring in front of him.
It chilled his face, turned his lips purple, and made it difficult to open his eyes.
Under this oppressive wind, an ordinary person would likely have already fallen to their knees, unable to endure.
But Qin Hao did not; his chest was filled with untold valor.
He only felt that the trace of Spiritual Qi within him was becoming restless.
With battle intent cohering throughout his body,
he prepared to deploy his Spirit Skills.
In that instant,
another wave of murderous intent struck.
Surprisingly, this murderous intent was no less powerful than the two hundred guards’.
What was even more astonishing was that
the target of this murderous intent was not Qin Hao, but the Jade Stone Daoist’s guards.
Boom!
The two waves of murderous intent collided in the air.
Although there was no actual sound, people’s hearts seemed to hear a thunderous explosion.
Many clutched their chests in unbearable pain.
Qin Hao, in the center of the murderous intent, faced the greatest pressure.
He felt his blood and energy surging throughout his body, as if he had been jolted and was now somewhat dispersed.
In this condition, through the crowd, he could barely sense that the murderous intent originated from afar.
Qin Hao couldn’t see the actual situation over there,
but felt that a group of people was approaching.
This group also exuded an aura of imposing murderous intent.
They similarly advanced with heavy steps.
As the group approached, the murderous struggle between the heavens and earth was coming to a close.
Seeing the impending resolution, the Jade Stone Daoist shouted in anger, "Stop all of you!"
With the sound echoing, the two vast murderous intents began to dissipate in midair.
The world returned to peace, with only a few leaves floating down.
Everything suggested that the recent battle of murderous intent seemed merely illusionary.
Yet the onlookers surrounding the scene were covered in cold sweat, panting heavily as if they had undergone a demanding ordeal.
Their eyes were fixed on a not-so-distant spot.
There, stood a troop of guards.
Unlike the Jade Stone Sect guards in white uniforms,
this troop’s attire was blue.
In front of the guards stood a young noble, as radiant as jade, with a face handsome as a demon. He had appeared unnoticed, as if stepping out from a painting, his long hair flowing like a gleaming river from the heavens.
The young noble held a folding fan, standing there with an elegant demeanor, a slight smile teasing the corners of his lips.
As the young noble appeared, the guards under the Jade Stone Daoist’s command automatically made way.
The young noble gestured the guards to remain where they were, and he gradually walked over.
As he approached, the Jade Stone Daoist expressed anger: "Young Master Xu, what is the meaning of this?"
The young noble smiled faintly: "Brother Jade Stone has quite the temper today."
The Jade Stone Daoist began to restrain his anger.
Although Young Master Xu was a junior, his standing was considerably high within the circle of Ancient Martial Families.
His prowess had reached a level comparable to his own.
He was further hailed as the future successor of the Xu Family.
An individual of such caliber, the Jade Stone Daoist could dislike but must not underestimate, nor lightly offend.
"Young Master Xu, today my Jade Stone Sect was insulted by a rogue, that’s why I’m somewhat irritable, hope you might forgive me." The Jade Stone Daoist said awkwardly.
"Oh. Who is this bold scoundrel that dares provoke the Jade Stone Sect?" Young Master Xu displayed a curious expression.
"It’s him! It’s this scum!" Before the Jade Stone Daoist could speak, Li Yu, full of resentment, pointed at Qin Hao.
"Ah, so it’s him."
Young Master Xu turned his head, observing Qin Hao’s face for a moment before leisurely walking over.
The crowd was puzzled.
What was Young Master Xu planning?
Could he be about to stand up for the Jade Stone Sect?
"Young Master Xu, not bad indeed."
Seeing this scene, Li Yu revealed a joyous smile.
The Jade Stone Daoist was initially puzzled.
But influenced by the crowd, they all concluded this possibility.
It seemed the rumor was true. Young Master Xu was preparing to take over the Xu Family, reaching out to external allies.
If he helped me capture this wild rogue,
what should I do?
Should I agree to support him, or continue observing?
The Jade Stone Daoist was joyfully contemplating,
but Young Master Xu’s next move wiped away his joy completely.
Young Master Xu extended his fair hand with an elegant smile: "Brother Qin, it’s been a while!"
Qin Hao’s tense face changed as a grin appeared: "Xiao Xuxu, it’s been a while!"
The pair clasped hands tightly, revealing the mutual appreciation between them.
This scene was undoubtedly unexpected, yet it left the onlookers stunned.
This...
How could this be!
Young Master Xu actually knows this rogue?
What on earth is happening in this story!
On the other side.
Li Yu’s smile froze, her mouth agape, eyes filled with disbelief.
How could this happen?
How could this scum possibly know Young Master Xu!
In that moment.
Li Yu’s heart shattered.
She had originally admired Young Master Xu greatly.
Yet now, her idol and her enemy shared a deep bond.
What was she to do?
While the Jade Stone Daoist’s face didn’t stiffen, it was completely dark.
Utterly like the darkest soil.
He was gritting his teeth fiercely to prevent the eruption of anger.
What did this Xu think he was doing!
Why did he suddenly become friends with this rogue!
Didn’t he know that it would offend me!
"Xiao Xuxu, I didn’t expect you to be the boss here!" Qin Hao said, surprised.
Truthfully, he hadn’t anticipated that the "Young Master Xu" mentioned by everyone was Xiao Xuxu. After all, such a young person should logically still be competing among juniors.
"Oh, I just happened to get lucky. Made a great achievement by accident and was promoted by the Elder," Young Master Xu said modestly. "But it’s you, Brother Qin, after so long, you’ve become even more handsome."
Qin Hao’s expression tightened inexplicably, he chuckled bitterly: "Xiao Xuxu, stop teasing, I’m quite ugly!"
He hadn’t forgotten about Xiao Xuxu’s preferences.
"Hahaha!" Young Master Xu laughed animatedly, clutching his belly to restrain his laughter: "Brother Qin, you’re really endearing. I’m just joking, you’re my sworn brother, how could I go for you..."
"..." Qin Hao’s face was covered in black lines, as a cloud drifted over his head.
Why did Xiao Xuxu become a bit cheeky?
Why am I always surrounded by cheeky people?
