"¿Dónde está el erudito?"Xuliang an pensó un momento: "Por favor, pásalos a la sala adyacente mientras espero que lleguen."Suspiró al pensar que Goxiangyang probablemente era alguien de alto rango en el clan Goxia o incluso el propio señor del Goxia.Según las reglas, si un erudito logrado como este estaba visitando localmente, el Goxia enviaría a un dignatario famoso.
No enviarían a una persona joven o insignificante.Al menos necesitarían al heredero Gaoxiong.En cuanto a Dragón-Diós, Xuliang an no había escuchado hablar de él;pero dado que venía con el Goxia, debía ser importante."¿Debo esconderme detrás del cortina?" la princesa Wang preguntó al levantar la mirada."No hace falta, abre el cerrojo."La princesa pestañeó y se movió para atraer la atención de los hombres que entraban.
Luego abrió el cerrojo.En poco tiempo, se escucharon pasos en el exterior antes de que una voz ronca y respetuosa dijera:"Señor, soy el señor del Goxia, Goxiangyang."Xuliang an asintió suavemente.
"La puerta no estaba cerrada."La puerta se abrió para dejar pasar a un hombre de mediana edad que llevaba ropa de seda, sonriente y con arrugas en los ojos causadas por años de sonreír.Al lado había un anciano corpulento, con una gran hoja de cuchillo a la espalda.
Era calvo y tenía una presencia firme y intimidante."El gobernante del castillo de Dragón-Diós, Dragón-Diós."El anciano levantó la mano en un saludo, su voz sonaba grave.Xuliang an asintió suavemente y señaló: "Siéntense."En ese momento, su mirada era amable, sus ojos reflejando el aguante que había acumulado con los años.
Su attitude fue tranquila, pero no sin una firmeza natural.Lamentablemente, le faltaban dos mechones de cabello blanco en la sien.Qianlong Palace: Unafraid, Young Public Son swept his gaze over the room, locking eyes on the First Beauty of Great Fèng.
With a dignified and cautious demeanor, he took a seat.Rayzheng appeared much more casual.
His gaze scrutinized Xu Qī'ān with an air of examination.He had already visited the underground palace but only circled around the outer perimeter;he never ventured into the main tomb due to risk.
Therefore, his belief in Young Public Son’s words was half-hearted at best."Thank you, senior for saving my daughter's life.
The Public Son family has no way to repay your kindness, but we will surely protect South Mountain from anyone entering the tomb."Young Public Son was meeting a high-ranking individual for the first time.
His curiosity did not outweigh Rayzheng’s.
He subtly observed Xu Qī'ān and saw nothing peculiar about him.However, his respect grew even more because of it.Rayzheng probed, "Senior, what is that ancient corpse in the underground palace?"Xu Qī'ān responded gently, "A minor figure."Minor figure?In his eyes, a third-grade evil spirit would still be a minor figure...
Young Public Son felt a shock.
Before he could respond, he suddenly felt dizzy and stood up abruptly."Th-there's poison..."Rayzheng also rose, backing away several steps, both their gazes fixed on the black pill on the table.What is this?The mere scent alone was unbearable...
Young Public Son realized with horror.At fifth-grade refinement level, most poisons could be expelled through powerful liver functions.
These pills before him were lethal even to a fifth-grade;just one would likely poison them.Xu Qī'ān spoke softly and apologetically, "I just made some toxic pills as snacks, so I'll put them away now."He picked up the pill, placed it in his mouth, and chewed slowly.Eating...
he ate it down...
Young Public Son was stunned to silence.
His face froze, and his spine chilled.Rayzheng's pupils contracted violently;his entire body bristled with fear.
The emotion threatened an explosion of panic.Both fifth-grade experts stared intently at Xu Qī'ān, focusing on his mouth and throat.
Seeing the Adam’s apple move indicated that the pill had been swallowed.Why eat toxic pills as snacks?No, this wasn't the main point;he was indeed a terrifying figure, a top-notch master hiding in obscurity...
Young Public Son straightened up resolutely.Young Public Son did not deceive me...
Rayzheng was deeply shocked.
He quickly reviewed his behavior, feeling concern and regret for his earlier disrespect, fearing that it might displease the seemingly mild expert."Alright!"Xu Qī'ān tucked away the jade bottle.In terms of combat strength, he couldn’t defeat a fifth-grade;unless he could inject poison directly into their stomachs.Apart from poison, he lacked effective means to break through thick skin and bones.Of course, martial artists also couldn't defeat him as his seven-sealed insect technique was too unpredictable with many ways to ensure victory.Once I digest all these pills, I should be able to defeat a fifth-grade...
Xu Qī'ān thought.
His exterior remained calm:"Perfect.
Even if you don’t come, I will still visit."Young Public Son and Rayzheng exchanged glances.
The former immediately asked respectfully, "What can your junior do for senior?"Xu Qī'ān looked at them with gentle eyes."I would like to request your assistance in hosting the Yongzhou Martial Arts Conference one and a half months from now."This was his recent idea;En lugar de buscar ansiuosamente anfitriones para el Qi Dragón, pensó que era mejor reunirlos todos mediante una conferencia.
