78 : Opportunity

Chapter 78

Opportunity

You XiaoMo is still asleep when *peng* the door is kicked open.

By the time he climbs out of the quilt in fright, in a daze, he sees a strong and swarthy middle aged man with a black beard stride into the room like a meteor cutting through no man's land.

"May I ask who you ....... "

"Are you that You XiaoMo?"

Before You XiaoMo could finish his question, the middle aged man reaches out and grips the collar on his chest, pulling him up, saying in a coarse voice like dull thunder in winter, somewhat grating to listen to.

Just waking up, his mind still in a daze, You XiaoMo's reaction is off by half a beat, simply nodding his head.

Elder Xiao sees his weak reaction and knows that he is no threat. He laughs coldly, "Let me ask you, yesterday from the Xu period to the Hai period, who were you with and what were you doing?"

"You ....... I can't breathe."

You XiaoMo's face is bright red. This person's strength is too much. He almost can no longer breathe before Elder Xiao snorts and lets him go.

Speaking of Elder Xiao, his full name is Xiao Shan, someone that is quite deserving of mention in TianXin sect.

Xiao Shan's has a very short fuse. His 'regards everyone beneath him' attitude is even worse than Lei Ju. When he speaks, he often carelessly offends people. The reason why he can carry on merrily until now is because he has a good master. His master is the junior brother of Tang Fan's master. The seniors are not people that even Tang Fan dares to offend.

The presence of this important backer is also why Lei Ju dares to oppose Ling Xiao. Now that Ling Xiao is listed as one of the suspects, Xiao Shan of course will not let go of this opportunity.

You XiaoMo coughs drily a few times and hears the person next to him repeat his question impatiently. Only then does he remember that he just asked him a question. Actually, when Ling Xiao was called away earlier, he vaguely remembers that it seemed to be related to the matter with Elder Jiang. But they concealed tightly what they did yesterday so if Ling Xiao doesn't reveal it to them, these people should not know that he has something to do to with Elder Jiang's situation.

Ling Xiao just left for over half an hour and already this person is here looking for him. So it's very likely that Ling Xiao told them about him.

Although he and Ling Xiao did not discuss this beforehand, You XiaoMo is still not that stupid to reveal any weak points to him. Thinking of what they usually do, he simply says, "I was with Elder brother Ling yesterday. I was refining magic pills. He was meditating."

This was what they did the night before. He guesses that Ling Xiao must have said the same thing.

Xiao Shan's expression is unreadable as he looks at him with a piercing look, as if trying to see if he is lying. In the end, he fails to detect it and sneers coldly, turning around, "Come with me."

You XiaoMo heaves a sigh of relief when he turns around. He quickly takes a set of clothes from the wardrobe and puts it on while walking. By the time they reach the Great Hall, he is properly dressed.

He gingerly follows Xiao Shan inside. You XiaoMo steals a look around and sees Ling Xiao as is expected. He carefully observes his expression. It is still the usual slightly smiling mask. Looks like he still hasn't been found out.

"Grand Master, I have brought You XiaoMo."

After saying this, Xiao Shan returns to his seat.

You XiaoMo then notices that Jiang Liu is also in the Great Hall. It's just that his head is looking downwards so his expression is unclear. He seems to have also just arrived but he doesn't know why he was called here.
