Chapter 682: Fits His Aesthetic

~8 min read 1,417 words

He was somewhat helpless, but there was nothing he could do.

After saying goodbye to the Xiang family, Xu Tian got into the sedan according to Zhong Ling's arrangement. After getting on the car, he realized that Zhong Ling was sitting beside him, with the intention of monitoring and watching him.

"Haven't seen you for so long, have you grown so big?"

On the way back, Xu Tian tried to talk to Zhong Ling.

But this little girl had a cold face and didn't speak at all.

Xu Tian saw that she didn't speak, and didn't want to ask for trouble.

Plus, he was also worried about saying more and making more mistakes, so he simply leaned on the back of the chair and closed his eyes to rest.

Regarding his identity, Zhong Ling probably didn't even have one-third of trust.

Otherwise, she couldn't be so indifferent and cold to her long-lost brother.

Going to the Azure Wolf Hall headquarters this time, although he didn't know what would happen, Xu Tian always had an uneasy premonition in his heart.

However, things had come to this, and any worry was superfluous.

He could only take one step at a time for now and act according to the situation.

But the most critical thing was that he didn't know at all whether this little girl named Zhong Ling and the Wolf King were biological siblings, so he couldn't grasp what attitude he should use to treat her.

His understanding of the Wolf King was one-sided and might even carry some exaggerated components. Therefore, Xu Tian kept reminding himself in his heart that after arriving at the Azure Wolf Hall headquarters, he must think twice before speaking and acting, be cautious and more cautious, and absolutely must not reveal any flaws.

Having to be restrained in words and deeds, just thinking about it was enough to give him a headache.

The sedan drove all the way south along the main road, gradually leaving the town where Xu Tian was located.

The road in the suburbs was wide but somewhat bumpy. Xu Tian was drowsy, and when he opened his eyes again, he found that the sky outside the window was just dawning. After opening the car window, the morning dew rushed toward his face.

This car had actually been driving for a whole night.

At this moment, their car had already driven into the city.

This city was much more prosperous than the city he was in before. Plus, Xu Tian had heard the Xiang family's narration before, so he inferred that this should be the central city on Wuji Island: Kun Cheng.

The main residences and major forces of the three great families and the richest family, the Lu family, were all here. Of course, the headquarters of the Wuji Martial Arts Association was also established in Kun Cheng.

As the largest metropolis on Wuji Island, it was full of buildings, and its prosperity was no less than the capitals of other countries in the world.

"Really nostalgic..."

Xu Tian sighed very insincerely.

Of course, these were all performed for the little girl beside him, hoping that the other party would develop some trust in him because of this.

However, Xu Tian was wrong again this time.

Zhong Ling beside him closed her eyes and ignored his pretentious sigh, not even moving her eyelids.

But Xu Tian knew that she wasn't asleep and was even paying attention to his every move. As long as he had any action to escape, this girl would notice it at the first time.

After about another half an hour, the black sedan stopped at the entrance of a building with dozens of floors.

It was estimated that this was the headquarters of the Azure Wolf Hall.

Unlike the dark force strongholds in Xu Tian's impression, the headquarters of the Azure Wolf Hall was quite modern.

The building in front of him was built magnificently and carried the cold texture unique to developed cities.

Before he could think too much, the driver who was driving in front had already gotten out of the car and skillfully opened the car door for him.

"Big Brother, get out of the car."

Zhong Ling opened her eyes. She saw Xu Tian still sitting in the car without moving, so she said coldly.

"Hmm."

Xu Tian nodded and got out of the car, biting the bullet.

"Sir, all the members of our Azure Wolf Hall have been looking forward to the stars and the moon, and finally, we have waited for you to return! They will be very happy to know this news!"

The elderly man who was sitting in the car in front had already gotten out of the car and waited for a long time. He very flatteringly blocked the car roof for Xu Tian, waiting for him to get out of the car with a full face of smiles.

Happy?

Anyway, he was quite unhappy.

Xu Tian silently complained in his heart, trying his best to exert his exquisite acting skills, trying his best to make himself look like he was revisiting an old place.

He must have been dizzy before, otherwise, how could he dare to impersonate a big demon like the Wolf King who kills without blinking?

But in the situation before, if he didn't follow the trend and impersonate the Wolf King, he was afraid that he would have died with the Xiang family in the hands of Zhong Ling and the others.

Death was death anyway, so it was better to gamble.

"Go in." Xu Tian's peripheral vision fell on Zhong Ling. Seeing that the other party didn't have any extra expressions, he walked into the building under the expectant gaze of the elderly man.

The environment inside the Azure Wolf Hall looked no different from the office buildings of major groups in Huaxia at first glance.

It didn't look like an ordinary dark force stronghold, where smoke was everywhere, members gathered in twos and threes to play cards and smoke, and it was foul and chaotic.

Everything here was orderly, clean, and tidy, even in Xu Tian's eyes, it was already considered overly tidy.

Xu Tian looked at the surrounding environment while thinking that this Wolf King's taste was not bad, different from those uncultured rough people, fitting his aesthetic.

If other factors were not considered, staying here could be considered a good choice.

However, Xu Tian knew that a fake was a fake. Even if he acted like it again, he couldn't become the real Wolf King.

Even if he didn't have memories about his identity, he knew that he had nothing to do with the Wolf King.

He had lived in Huaxia since he was a child, his parents had long since passed away, and apart from a grandfather whose whereabouts were unknown, he had no other relatives.

Therefore, he absolutely couldn't be the Wolf King whose parents and family were all sound.

Most importantly, the Wolf King's style of conduct was very ruthless. Xu Tian didn't agree with his cruel style, and he believed that he wouldn't be such a cold-blooded demon.

"Sister Zhong Ling!"

"Sir Zhong Ling!"

The busy Azure Wolf Hall members coming and going inside the building saw Zhong Ling and stopped their work one after another, respectfully greeting her.

Don't look at Zhong Ling as just a little girl under twenty, but her reputation within the Azure Wolf Hall was not low.

Perhaps this was inseparable from her heaven-defying strength.

Although Xu Tian hadn't probed Zhong Ling's bottom and didn't know how powerful her true strength was, judging from the aura she revealed on the surface, she was definitely the strongest bounty hunter he had seen so far.

Zhong Ling was as cold as ever toward other Azure Wolf Hall members. Except for occasional nods, she didn't say a word along the way.

Others seemed to have long been accustomed to it and were not surprised by Zhong Ling's reaction.

Xu Tian followed the elderly man and Zhong Ling into the elevator. The elevator stopped on the 18th floor. After he stepped out of the elevator, he passed through a long corridor and arrived in front of an inconspicuous room at the end.

After Xu Tian pushed the door and entered, he discovered that this seemingly ordinary room had a different world inside.

The area of the room was very large, and the space occupied almost an entire floor. ===== CHAPTER 683 =====
