Chapter 13: The Unlucky City Lord
The hallway of the manson was grand, the marble floors gleamed under chandeliers’ light, casting a warm glow.
As Tang Jingxue and Xiao Chen entered the main hall, butler stepped outside quietly.
Soon, a tall, elderly man with white hair and a muscular build entered the hall. He had an air of authority around him.
He was unmistakably Wu Laoqiang, the City Lord of Silver Sword City!
Wu Laoqiang was one of the most esteemed members of the Peerless Sword Sect and he was the uncle of the current sect leader.
Xiao chen used the villain’s eye on Wu Laoqiang after sensing the powerful aura surrounding him.
[Name: Wu Laoqiang
Status: City lord of the SilverSword city
Cultivation: Etheral core middle stage
Physique: Iron body physique [Eternal]
Destiny: 346]
The first thing He had checked was the realm.
’His cultivation is the same as in the plot’ He thought, looking down at the physique and destiny value. ’Oh, Interesting....’
Finally, He saw something that sparked a internet in him.
This was the first time he had encountered a person whose destiny value exceeded hundred and this old man has a eternal level physique!
In the world of cultivation, the talent and cultivation are commonly decided by the level of physique.
Iron Body Physique Wu Laoqiang has is an eternal level that gives him the potential to reach the dao comprehension realm.
As he thought of physiques, he remembered his innate demonic and divine immortal physique.
’What does even unknown mean?’ Xiao chen couldn’t mind around it no matter how hard he tried to think.
’The only thing I know is that my talent, my comprehension, my potential and all of my secs skyrocketed to another level after I fused with the physique’
As he was lost in his thoughts, Wu Laoqiang glanced at the two of them. As early as they entered the city, He had already gotten the report that the saintess of the sect.
Suddenly, he knelt on the ground and greeted them. "I greet Young Lady and Young Master."
"Get up," Observing his actions,Tang Jingxue replied with a cold face, nodding in satisfaction.
Wu Laoqiang got up immediately and led them to their seats.
Seeing all of this, Xiao Chen just smiled, shaking his head.
He glanced at Wu Laoqiang with an amusing face. ’This Old fox sure is cunning’
In the plot, only the sect leader was supposed to know about Tang Jingxue’s background and yet, this old man seemed to have noticed something.
"Young lady, may I know why you have come to visit this old man?" Wu Laoqiang asked with a polite smile after two of them sat on the thrones.
"It’s nothing much." Tang jingxue glanced down at him with her cold eyes. "I came here to allow the sect that nothing has happened to me"
"And there any updates about upcoming the Annual Sect Competition?"
"I have already passed on the information to the sect and..... about the annual sect competition" Wu Laoqiang paused, looking up at her with a suprised face.
In the past, Tang Jingxue had never paid any attention to the sect affairs, let alone annual sect competition.
’Is it because of him...?’ He glanced at Xiao chen from the corner of his eyes.
To tell the truth, he has already done a background check on Xiao chen.
He was dumbfounded when he discovered that Xiao chen was just an inner disciple of the sect.
Wu Laoqiang assumed that he was a pretty face who attracted Tang jingxue but after seeing him in person, his thoughts changed.
Because he couldn’t see what realm Xiao chen is in!
"What are you waiting for?" Taking in his actions,Tang Jingxue still had a calm face and urged him to speak.
"Young lady, Annual Sect Competition is scheduled to begin in two weeks" Wu Laoqiang wiped the sweat on his forehead and began to speak.
"Is that all? What about the guests?" Xiao Chen asked with a cold face, knowing Xing hao would visit soon.
As Tang Jingxue heard his words, she had a bad premonition.
Wu Laoqiang was taken aback by his sudden question but he responded nonetheless.
"Young master, Xing Hao, the Crown Prince of the Imperial Star Dynasty, will visit our sect as a guest during annual sect competition."
"He will arrive at our sect in ten days."
As he uttered these words, the atmosphere in the hall instantly changed, a chilly aura filled the surroundings.
Wu Laoqiang was horrified after finding out the cause. ’When did she becomes so strong!?’
What shocked him more was that Xiao chen was right beside Tang Jingxue, didn’t even flinch once.
"Xu’uer....." Xiao chen placed his hand on hers, telling her to calm down.
"Okay.....Brother Chen, " Tang Jingxue answered with a blush, keeping her head down.
"You are bothered by that nuisance, we can just reduce the four major forces of the continent to three," Xiao Chen placed his hand on her head, fondling her silky smooth hair.
"One more thing, I’ll be heading to the location marked on the treasure map that we bought yesterday."
"Can you go back to the sect and wait for my return?" He looked at her eyes and asked with a smile.
’We have to separate?’ She thought, her eyes dimming at his words.
However, recalling the imperial star dynasty and Xing hao, her eyes became clear.
"Brother Chen, I’ll be waiting for you back at the sect," Tang Jingxue replied, clutching his hand tightly. "Be careful on your journey"
Xiao Chen was stunned to see her agree so easily but as he thought of something, he smiled helplessly. ’This silly girl....’
He got up from his seat, kissed her on the forehead, and immediately left the hall.
Tang Jingxue was dumbfounded by his actions.
A few moments later, She came back to her eyes and her expression returned to normal.
Suddenly, she turned her cold gaze to Wu Laoqiang, who was attempting to slip away.
"City Lord Wu," she called out in a cold tone.
"Young lady!" He quickly knelt before Tang Jingxue after getting caught by her.
"Young Lady, my hearing has been deteriorating lately" He said with his back drenched in sweat. "I couldn’t hear anything for a while now"
"Very well, you may leave." Tang Jingxue said with a smile. " When Xing Hao arrives, you have to get him to stay here instead of the Peerless Sword Heaven Sect.
"And if the word of what happened here spreads....." She paused as there was no need to speak further.
"O-okay, Young lady" Wu Laoqiang struggled to speak, his face seemed to have aged a lot.
