Chapter 380

That attitude was as arrogant as it could possibly be.

It seemed like a single wrong word would spark a fight.

Yet now, he seemed like a completely different person.

The contrast between before and now was truly immense.

It nearly made him blurt out, "Let me recover—I still prefer your former defiant self!"

Of course.

It was just a passing thought.

To actually say it aloud.

He simply couldn't do it.

Among the reasons, it wasn't just because Ximen Wudi was still present.

More so,

was that his own reaction back then was no better than the other's.

Therefore,

he had no room for the thought of mocking someone who'd gone fifty steps when he'd gone a hundred.

"If that's the case, then for now, stay by the Seventh Dragon Chief's side."

"Let the Seventh Dragon Chief show you around the Qinglong Society."

Upon hearing this, Ximen Wudi

nodded slightly, satisfied, and gave his order.

His voice was soft.

Not even the slightest hint of authority.

It sounded utterly plain.

Yet for some reason,

it made people instinctively obey and act.

Sensing this,

the Water God Ancestor trembled all over.

A wave of shock and dread surged in his heart.

He silently drew in two sharp breaths.

He forcibly suppressed the violent turmoil deep within.

Together with Zhang Sanfeng,

he bowed respectfully and replied.

"Yes!"

"We take our leave!"

Saying this,

under Ximen Wudi's wave of dismissal,

the two bowed and walked away side by side.

As the two departed,

the hall fell silent once more.

Ximen Wudi calmly poured himself a cup of tea.

Before he could drink it,

he suddenly looked up toward the doorway.

A flicker of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Instantly,

he vanished from his seat without warning.

The next second,

he appeared at the entrance of Qinglong Peak.

Gazing at the kind old man with snow-white beard, whose age seemed immeasurable,

Ximen Wudi's lips curled into a wry smile.

"The Qinglong Society's Great Dragon Chief, Ximen Wudi?"

Xiao Sanxiao spoke with a smile.

Though phrased as a question,

he already knew the answer in his heart.

Even though they had never met before,

the moment he laid eyes on him,

he had confirmed his identity!

It was an intuition.

A sixth sense from a master's deep, instinctive awareness!!

"Zhengshixi."

"If my guess is correct,"

"you are the Twelve Terrifying Ones of Yunzhou, Xiao Sanxiao?"

Ximen Wudi nodded slightly.

Then he let out a soft chuckle.

His eyes full of mischief as he said.

"You... how do you know this old man's name?!"

Xiao Sanxiao, upon hearing this, was instantly shocked out of his wits.

A towering wave surged in his heart.

Amidst his shock.

His mind secretly tensed up.

He truly had not expected.

That with merely a single glance.

The other party seemed to have seen right through him!

Not only his nickname.

Even his real name could be called out.

This immediately made him feel somewhat horrified!

After all.

Compared to the other party's fame spreading throughout the Nine Provinces.

He himself had not shown himself for several hundred years!

Most importantly.

His own real name had long been abandoned and unused several thousand years ago.

Yet the other party still called out his name in one breath!

Just this one point alone.

It left him no choice but to be surprised!

In his heart, he even felt some inexplicable emotion.

A person's name is like a tree's shadow!

This saying is indeed not false in the slightest!

The number one expert of the Nine Provinces, worthy of being the number one expert of the Nine Provinces!!

"Chat?"

Taking in his reaction.

Ximen Wudi's brow slightly raised.
