If there were an accident outside, it would be a big deal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was because the City Guarding Array would be turned on tonight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blue light curtain rose from and enveloped the entire city. When the void was closed, all those who raised their eyes and looked at the sky were impressed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The City Guarding Array was launched. The City Lord Mansion banquet dinner...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is it about to start?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We have arrived!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Xiaoshou was stunned when he walked to his destination following the map on the invitation. He used his spiritual senses to view it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind him, Mu Zixi also adopted a similar dazed expression. She stared straight ahead with her huge eyes and unconsciously swallowed her saliva.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is this... Is this the City Lord Mansion?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sight before her was a magnificent palace that glittered blindingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The brilliant golden external wall went on for miles. Even if Xu Xiaoshou stood a few feet away, he could not see the ends of either side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How big is this place?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention the wall, just the gate at the doorway was several feet high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were two rows of door sentinels standing beside the gate. He counted 36 people in total.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The door sentinels were clad in silver armor. They had solemn expressions on their faces and were armed with spears and swords. It was a sight to behold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why is it called the City Lord Mansion? It might as well change its name to The Forbidden City instead!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Xiaoshou stopped in his steps. He gazed at the imperial palace in front of him and only felt that the Small Manor he recently bought dulled in comparison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was crushed by such competition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No wonder...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Xiaoshou murmured to himself. No wonder Fu Xing had such a weird expression when he asked Fu Xing how big his house was and whether it could accommodate hundreds of people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few hundred people would only occupy the area of a toilet for a house of this size.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s go.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Xiaoshou calmly spoke, pulling Mu Zixi to move forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘I cannot reveal to others that I am country bumpkin!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘I have seen the world!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Perhaps not before, but now I have!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He suddenly dragged Mu Zixi from her shock. She looked startled. She lowered her head to try to pull her hands out of his grip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a while, she blushed suddenly and stopped her actions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘He, he held my hand?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her heart thumped...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And thumped...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watched, Passive Points +1.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sudden popup notification cast Xu Xiaoshou in shock, and he stopped in his thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paused, and his hand moved in a forceful reflex.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Zixi immediately let out a strange cry. Her face turned green.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xu Xiaoshou! What are you doing?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Xiaoshou hurriedly released the hand of his junior sister and forced himself to calm down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was someone staring at him again?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who was it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought of the arrest warrant issued by Zhang Taiying...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘No way. Can that guy be staring at me at this time?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Should he not take care of himself instead?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Xin Gugu should be sauntering in front of his house at this time!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without thinking further, Xu Xiaoshou turned his head and pulled his junior sister’s hand with a sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze wandered, carefully searching the surroundings with Perception. However, he discovered nothing except a few wealthy people who wanted to enter the City Lord Mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Who could it be?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xu Xiaoshou!” Mu Zixi glared at her senior brother, who was blowing wildly on her now-bloodied hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cough, don’t be afraid. I’m here!” Xu Xiaoshou looked a little flustered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Zixi was furious. Did he ask her not to be afraid?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What she feared most now was his sudden tenderness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cursed, Passive Points +1.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Go, keep going!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a while, they had already gone around 13 times. Xu Xiaoshou realized that if he stayed in place, someone might see him. He immediately let out a vitality breath, pulling the little girl with him and leaving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uh~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a groan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cursed, Passive Points +1, +1, +1, +1...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Stop right there!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The silver-armored door sentinel shot his spear and stopped Xu Xiaoshou in his tracks. His hands stretched out as he barked, “Invitation card!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Xiaoshou handed over the gold gilded invitation card that he had prepared. At this crucial moment, there should be no trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The door sentinel examined it before closing it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You may enter.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Xiaoshou pointed at the girl behind him. “We are together. Can she enter?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes.” The door sentinel nodded. “Your invitation entitles you to bring three guests.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Xiaoshou nodded and took a step toward the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right before he stepped in, the notification popped out again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watched, Passive Point +1.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Xiaoshou felt his heart hammering in his chest, and he halted in his step again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind him, Mu Zixi could not stop in time and hit her head against him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ouch.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, her previous experiences had finally taught her a lesson to always keep her spiritual source protection on. So, she was not affected and sent flying back from the force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little girl covered her forehead and shot him a resentful look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘He stopped again!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cursed, Passive Points +1.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Xiaoshou turned around. His sixth sense compelled him to look behind. He was not disappointed and saw a figure rushing out of the woods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a scruffy-looking lad with stains and smears on his face. He looked to be about 15 or 16 years old.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had a long braid. The hair on his scalp was as oily as rapeseed. It was unbearable to look at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he saw Xu Xiaoshou, the boy yelled and rushed over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Big Brother!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I finally waited for you! Why have you only come now? They pushed me earlier!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man’s voice had a nasal tone as if he was about to cry. His eyes were whirling with tears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coupled with the muddy body above, he was like a weak teenager bullied by the door sentinel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The door sentinel knew him too. When he watched the lad jump, a spear blocked his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Stop!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I have already told you, no invitation, no entry!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Xu Xiaoshou heard that, he quickly understood what had happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That lad wanted to enter the City Lord Mansion, but he did not have an invitation. He could only wait for a kindhearted person to bring him in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed that the Watched just now came from that guy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he had been scanning for so long. Why had he not spotted that person?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was it all so simple?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Xiaoshou felt his heart stop. He wanted to turn around cautiously, but when he looked at the aggrieved eyes of the young man, he suddenly stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Do I look like a fool?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘I must look like a nice person. Does he think that I will I bring him in for no reason?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Xiaoshou hesitated for a while as if recalling his memories before he spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Little Brother?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the young man heard his words, his tear-filled eyes glittered with hope. “Big Brother, it is me. Do you still remember me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I can’t recall who you are.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boy choked before he could say anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cursed, Passive Point +1.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He burst into tears, squeezing his fists. He shook his head and struggled with his words. “This is impossible. How can you forget me? We were...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What were we...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boy saw that Xu Xiaoshou did not catch on and widened his eyes incredulously. “Have you really forgotten me? Can’t you even remember my name?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Xiaoshou lowered his head and hesitated for a while. Suddenly, his face lit up in recognition. “Oh, is it you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boy’s eyes glittered in excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Big Brother, you have recalled! My name is...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your name is...” Xu Xiaoshou tilted his head with eyes squinting as if he were trying to recall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Well, my name is...” There was encouragement in the boy’s eyes. He seemed to expect his big brother to recognize him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Xiaoshou thought for some time. Suddenly, his eyes widened, and he pointed at the other party.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I remember! It’s you... Xu Xiaoji, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“???”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suspected, Passive Points +1.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>#\u003C\u002Fp>",1488,"2026-05-30T05:06:34.678Z","2026-06-01T04:30:22.290Z",1,"novelbin.me","29697af5b3668e15c32835c63a0b9717df3e2dad2c71f5a0a1b080abc4f4a0ac","i-am-loaded-with-passive-skills-chapter-377","i-am-loaded-with-passive-skills-chapter-304",1050,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-am-loaded-with-passive-skills-cover.jpg"]
