Xu Shu couldn’t help but rub his head as he watched.
Being famous sure brings a lot of trouble.
But this is good too, at least the top brass at Bai Yujing will notice now.
Even if they’re not browsing the forum themselves, ’Jian Qi Jin’ and ’Butterfly Lovers’ are important figures at Bai Yujing, and they will report the situation.
Later on, when their demigod cos to find , I’ll reveal the location of the ’Remnant Flower Puppet’ to them, and then find an excuse to clear myself.
Hmm, this ’Chen Huang’ has quite the imagination; this is exactly what I was thinking originally, I just didn’t have a good argunt. He’s filled in so logical gaps for , which I can use as my reason.
Haha, am I, a mysterious being who’s supposedly been in seclusion for hundreds of years and just erged, not allowed to be unaware of many new things in this world?
It’s reasonable, clearly understandable!
Oh, speaking of Butterfly Lovers, isn’t she the leader of the "Endless Flowers," the organization Xiao Ya ntioned that’s ordered my assassination?
Interesting, from her words, it sounds like she wants to take this chance to rope ’Tai Chu’ into their Living Cultivator faction?
These bastards, trying to kill , Conquest King Yu Mingluan, on one hand, and on the other hand, wanting to leech off my influence, they’ve got so nerve!
Should I go ahead and expose her little sche, and while I’m at it, say sothing unfavorable to them to make her plan backfire and put her in the crosshairs of everyone?
But being a Heavenly List Great Power, responding directly to such ’juniors’ might make lose face...
After all, my persona is a mysterious identity, an old monster who’s gone through the world. Being ’ignorant’ occasionally is no big deal; they’ll fill in the gaps for , but I must maintain my identity.
Unlike the ’Lord of Calamity,’ who established his persona as an outspoken ruffian early on, no one is surprised by anything that cos out of his mouth...
Ah, that’s the burden. As they say, success and failure are both due to one’s persona!
Xu Shu grumbled internally, shaking his head and sighing.
Before long, he noticed several red-dot ssages popping up in his private chat channel.
"More or less, a demigod or even a Heavenly List Great Power is coming to ask for details, right?" Xu Shu mused.
He opened the ssages to check and, sure enough.
The first ssage was from an old partner, the representative from the Astronomy Association, lanie, the ’Dongxuan True Monarch.’
She got straight to the point: "Senior, you didn’t do it accidentally again this ti, did you? Why deliberately leave that guy at Penglai’s gate? Are you...trying to test that person’s situation?"
Xu Shu: ???
What the heck?
What cryptic ga are you playing, little True Monarch?
Does lanie seem to know the identity of this Remnant Flower Puppet?
Wait, I sll conspiracy here!
Hiss... could it be that there’s a big inside story here!
So it wasn’t a coincidence, but soone wanted to test ’that person,’ and intentionally left it here, just for to bump into?
Who did it? Who is ’that person’?
Xu Shu inhaled sharply, feeling quite surprised, and didn’t reply right away.
"So my remarks this ti were full of loopholes in the eyes of the perceptive!
"Thankfully, I set up my persona well before, so no one doubts I’m fake. After all, the Fourth Rank Plastic Surgery Monster and Fifth-tier Aphelios were real news. Now, they only think I might be acting on purpose."
"Haha, okay, your secrets are deep, but now this secret has been guessed by !"
Faced with such special circumstances, Xu Shu, as usual, was sharp, rapidly recalling in his mind, so information about Bai Yujing’s high ranks quickly converged in his mind, surfacing automatically.
First, for lanie, the top of the Earthly List, to refer to soone as ’that person’ instead of addressing them by na shows considerable apprehension. This person has ties to Penglai, making their identity clear—the Bai Yujing Daoist, leader of a superpower.
Xu Shu once learned about the Bai Yujing Daoist from that ’big mouth faker,’ Lord of Calamity Mu Xifeng.
At the ti, it involved discussions spurred by a ’Aphelios’ nursing wounds secretly outside the border.
Mu Xifeng ntioned that the Bai Yujing’s leading figure had not responded for a long ti, leading many to assu they have perished.
He also spoke of other superpower leaders’ hidden questionable situations, which once sparked a heated debate across the Ascension Network, ultimately subdued by Astronomy Association mbers enforcing silence. (Note 1)
Only after this did Xu Shu realize that ’the big mouth with no filter’ was just a persona Mu Xifeng intentionally created.
In fact, the ’Lord of Calamity’ is a genuine old scher, leaking information about major powers under the guise.
Additionally, Xu Shu recalled sothing else.
After the hot topic sparked by Mu Xifeng, soone with the pen na ’Shui Longyin’ from Bai Yujing, mistakenly believed he was the Lord Bai Yujing, repeatedly asking "Master, is it you?"
The Shui Longyin is a Fourth Rank Earth List Expert, holding a significant role in Bai Yujing. Whether she is one of the ’Five Cities,’ questioning like this signifies the established fact of the Lord Bai Yujing’s disappearance!
Then the question arises.
Since this Remnant Flower Puppet was intentionally placed by soone, will this ’soone intentional’ co to my place to test ?
Judging by the situation exhibited on the Ascension Network, those daring to test the Fifth Realm can only be mbers of the Fifth Realm.
