Capítulo 939: Chapter 52: Old News and Plans
Um, could you watch your words a bit, ma’am?
You’re making suspect you co from so twisted world called the Kyoto Collapse…
Xu Shu muttered a few words to himself in secret, while quickly pondering in his mind.
What could be a true identity of mine that’s shady, and also known to Zhong Xiaoya?
After thinking it over, Xu Shu could only imagine one possibility.
“Did the fact that I did good deeds and left my na get spread around by the directors behind Xinglong Manor and Yinli Town? So shaless, they don’t dare hold accountable but go out of their way to tarnish my reputation—and even Jiang Chengzi knows about this!
“Luckily, I was a step ahead and anticipated this, leaving Archbishop’s na instead, haha!”
Xu Shu gave a sinister smile, utterly fearless.
Since he dared to openly leave his na after a kill, he certainly wasn’t afraid of them knowing.
It was “Yu Mingluan” who killed your subordinates—what does that have to do with , “Xu Longxiang”?
As for Zhong Xiaoya, she seems to be the only one who knows Xu Shu = Yu Mingluan… Um, we have a decent “sibling” relationship, and she has a special connection with the “real Yu Mingluan”, so she probably wouldn’t rat out, right?
After hesitating for a mont, Xu Shu carefully worded a ssage and sent it: “Senior, have you heard any rumors recently? I swear, it wasn’t who exterminated those cri syndicates of child-eating snake demons, flower demons, or demons! Of course, I’m sure you wouldn’t want the secret between you and your old classmate to be left unguarded, right?”
“? Well, well, well, threatening , are you? Turning against the Tengu, huh! In that case, things are hard to say!” — Eating a peach.
“Sorry, Jiang Chengzi’s sister, I was just kidding!” Xu Shu quickly corrected himself.
“Oh, you little hero, your skin’s quite itchy, isn’t it?”
“Haha, don’t bla , sister. So… Yu Mingluan’s notorious deeds have really leaked out?” Xu Shu asked seriously.
Zhong Xiaoya finally replied: “Ha, I underestimated you. You guessed it in one go; I thought you wouldn’t catch on. Seems you’re a bit smarter than I thought.”
“Uh…”
Xu Shu was montarily speechless, recalling that this big shot once thought he didn’t even know a “Mid-frequency Sequence Band” was required to advance to the Third Realm and generously gifted him one. He couldn’t help but feel suspicious.
Could she really have pegged as so “illiterate idiot but a descendant of an old friend” character?
This stereotype is a bit excessive.
Stop underestimating people!
Xu Shu clenched his fists heavily and politely asked, “Jiang Chengzi’s sister, any guidance?”
“Not much, just a friendly reminder that the people from Endless Flowers have set their sights on you, so be careful.
“That flashy Butterfly Lovers ranked lowest in the Twelve Towers and also near the bottom of the Human List, but a Human List expert is still an expert, not so easy target. If she personally cos after you, you might not escape.
“Of course, if you deliberately declared war on them, then forget I said anything.”
Zhong Xiaoya slowly typed, paragraph by paragraph, clearly organized.
Xu Shu was stunned for a mont when he saw the string of texts from the other side.
What is this?
Endless Flowers? This doesn’t sound legitimate, more like a scent-stealing group composed of lecherous old n?
As for “Butterfly Lovers,” Xu Shu did know about that.
This is one of the three departnts closest to the safety zone on the Wasteland, like ‘Attacker Village,’ ‘Ganlu Valley,’ and the Insect Breeding Clan territories. He’d spent a whole day hunting there before and had vivid mories of it.
No choice—the Insect Queens were so well-bred, they’re hard to forget.
“It’s said that Bai Yujing’s top experts include the Five City Lords and the Twelve Tower Heads. Seems like being at the bottom of the Twelve Towers still earns a place on the Human List, no wonder they’re extraordinary forces,” Xu Shu pondered, courteously replying, “Got it, I’ll be careful. Thanks for the reminder, Jiang Chengzi’s sister! By the way, hope you don’t mind asking, what rank are you in the Twelve Towers?”
Zhong Xiaoya replied, “That’s a bit too bold of a question, and obviously, I’m not an insider at Bai Yujing, just a token association.”
“Oh? Ah, I see~” Xu Shu initially looked puzzled, then suddenly understood.
True, she’s part of the Judgent Departnt, belonging to the ‘Astronomy Association,’ a human leadership organization with so ranking. Collaborating with local superpowers is understandable…
He thought for a bit and replied, “Anything else? If not, I’m headed to work.”
“???”
Zhong Xiaoya sent a slew of question marks, quickly typing, “Such a heartless person, is this how you treat a sister?”
Xu Shu: “…”
Spit it out already!
He rolled his eyes but, considering that she had given him a million-dollar Mid-frequency Sequence Band, responded more politely, “Please go ahead.”
Zhong Xiaoya was montarily stunned: “First, congrats on advancing to the Third Realm, little hero brother, and also let schedule a ti with you. Whenever you’re free, lend a hand to explore the Sea of Death; there’s an intriguing ruin that needs you.”
What a coincidence, you’re heading to the Sea of Death too? Is it for the “Night Parade of Hundred Demons”?
Xu Shu stroked his chin, “You want to be a at shield?”
“What else? I did lend you a helpful hand; as they say, ‘A drop of kindness should be repaid with a flood.’ Surely a little hero brother wouldn’t turn down a poor little sister, right?” Zhong Xiaoya said, justifiably.
