At that moment, the Lan Yue Tower, which had previously been bustling with geniuses from all walks of life, suddenly became desolate.

Only the host, Elder Lan Yue, Huang Xiaolong, Duanmu Wei, and some of the Lan Yue Tower’s servants and maidservants remained.

The atmosphere was indeed bleak.

“Ah~” Huang Xiaolong laughed awkwardly with a touch of embarrassment and scratched his head as he said to Elder Lan Yue, “Elder Lan Yue, I’m not actually afraid of offending those geniuses.”

“Hahaha~~ Young man, you really are amusing. Those geniuses, each more formidable than the last, with strong backers, and you’ve managed to offend all of them, making yourself a public enemy, are you truly not afraid?” Elder Lan Yue showed no sign of disappointment, seemingly indifferent to the departure of all the geniuses, because his interest in Huang Xiaolong had grown even stronger!

To put it simply, his interest in Huang Xiaolong had surpassed the total of all the geniuses that had just left!

This seemingly harmless young man, who did not show off or reveal much, and even whose Mana fluctuations were indiscernible, could with a single move disable a genius ranked within the top thirty of the Hidden Dragon List, using rare Ghost Cultivator techniques. Or perhaps, he possessed an exceptional ghost artifact that could summon endless ghost kings!

“Well~ It’s like the saying goes, ‘Too many fleas, none of them bite; too many debts, one stops worrying,’ These geniuses, each with a petty and narrow mind not allowing others to surpass them, offending one is offending, offending ten is still offending. So I might as well offend a few more,” Huang Xiaolong confessed candidly.

“Hahaha~~ Excellent, excellent, young man, you’re interesting, you have quite the vision!” Elder Lan Yue laughed heartily. “It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a youngster as unique as you, with a spine to match. Come! Take a seat, and let’s have a few drinks!”

Elder Lan Yue’s attitude towards Huang Xiaolong was extraordinarily friendly.

At once, a servant came in to rearrange the tableware, and Elder Lan Yue, keen to please, replaced the tea with wine.

Huang Xiaolong took his seat next to Duanmu Wei again.

“Little Brother, you’ve hidden it so well, it’s torturous!” Duanmu Wei looked at Huang Xiaolong with a touch of reproach. “I thought you were weak and frail, and I was planning to look out for you… But unexpectedly, you disabled Pu Gonglin in one move, something I could never do~~ Little Brother, your Cultivation Technique feels eerily ghostly, and there’s hardly any Mana fluctuation overflow when you attack… What exactly are you cultivating?”

“Big Sister Duanmu, it’s just a minor trick, not worth mentioning, hardly suitable for the grandeur of a proper stage,” Huang Xiaolong replied modestly.

“Pretend! Keep pretending!” Duanmu Wei said irritably. “I think you’re like a pig not afraid of boiling water, offending so many geniuses and even crippling a core disciple from Zhongnan Mountain…”

“No worries, as they say, ‘when the soldiers come, a general will block, and when the water rises, the soil will cover,'” Huang Xiaolong said with a disturbing calmness.

“Young man, I presume that you’ll also be participating in this year’s Hidden Dragon List competition?” Elder Lan Yue asked with a smile.

Huang Xiaolong nodded.

“Then entering the top thirty is without question. You might even have a shot at the top twenty,” Duanmu Wei stated emphatically.

“Big Sister Duanmu, I’ll take that as a lucky charm,” Huang Xiaolong responded with a smile.

Shooting for the top twenty? Heh, my goal is to seize the first place and dominate the Hidden Dragon List!

“Young man~~ come, let’s drink,” Elder Lan Yue said with a smile, raising his glass.

Huang Xiaolong and Duanmu Wei also lifted their glasses in unison.

The three of them drank together.

After setting down the glass, Elder Lan Yue smiled faintly. “Young man, the path of Ghost Cultivation is indeed mysterious, but there are many Cultivation Techniques that can counter it; you must be aware of this. Moreover, although the young talents just now are ranked quite high on the Hidden Dragon List, they are still–”

“`

After a pause, the elder Lan Yue finally spoke. “Only those who rank among the top five are the true geniuses, unmatched and extraordinary. Therefore, you must remember not to take anything lightly.”

Huang Xiaolong understood. Elder Lan Yue was reminding him that the truly formidable figures on the Hidden Dragon List were those exalted within the top five! They were the elites of their generation!

“I wonder how strong the greatest geniuses of this age in the foreign lands are–how exhilarating!” Huang Xiaolong wasn’t intimidated; instead, an indistinct fighting spirit surged within him. He resolved to make a big splash in the battle of geniuses on the Hidden Dragon List!

He continued drinking.

After the third round of drinks, Elder Lan Yue spoke again. “Young man, now that you have crippled Pu Gonglin, the lineage of Zhongnan Mountain has probably received the news. They will not let this go easily.”

“This… This…” Duanmu Wei faltered but her gaze remained resolute. “Little brother, I will ask my father and mother to negotiate with the lineage of Zhongnan Mountain. I promised to take care of you, and I will keep that promise!”

The parents of Duanmu Wei were none other than the Sect Master of the Wanderer’s Sect and his wife, both towering figures with some influence in the world of cultivators overseas.

“Big Sister Duanmu, I thank you in advance,” Huang Xiaolong said with gratitude. “But this is a trouble I caused; I will deal with it myself. I don’t want to cause you any trouble.”

“Little brother! Why are you being polite with me?” Duanmu Wei was somewhat angry. “No need for further words; I’ve got this! If the lineage of Zhongnan Mountain wants to trouble you, they’ll have to do so over… over… my dead body!”

Her life had been saved by Huang Xiaolong; therefore, even if she had to shatter her body to pieces, she would repay the debt. Furthermore, the unique aura that Huang Xiaolong was increasingly displaying was invisibly attracting Duanmu Wei.

Elder Lan Yue glanced at Huang Xiaolong and Duanmu Wei’s attitudes, a trace of ambiguity flashing in his eyes, thinking to himself. ‘Duanmu lass has always been as cold as an iceberg. I didn’t expect her to fall for this young man… Heh. However, the power of the Wanderer’s Sect is at best on par with that of Zhongnan Mountain. This matter, for Duanmu lass, might be too much to handle. If it were only a matter of injuring that Pu Gonglin, it wouldn’t lead to a complete fallout between Zhongnan Mountain and the Wanderer’s Sect, but now, they’ve directly crippled one of their most outstanding young disciples…’

“Young man…” Elder Lan Yue’s expression became solemn as well.

“Ah, senior, please speak,” Huang Xiaolong said humbly.

“This is no trivial matter,” Elder Lan Yue said with a heavy tone. “If you leave Lan Yue Tower on your own, you might face relentless assassination attempts… So, young man, why don’t you stay in Lan Yue Tower for the time being?”

“Ah! Elder Lan Yue, are you offering to protect me?” Duanmu Wei exclaimed with joy.

Elder Lan Yue let out an exasperated chuckle, shaking his head. “I can’t protect you. I’m a lone individual, and my influence pales in comparison to that of Zhongnan Mountain. Moreover, their top experts are of a higher realm than mine, and their treasures are superior to mine.”

After a pause, Elder Lan Yue continued. “What I mean is, young man, you should stay in Lan Yue Tower for now. When the battle of geniuses on the Hidden Dragon List begins, I will personally take you there. In other words, I will keep you safe during this time. I still have that much clout. But after that… I won’t be able to protect you.”

“Ah? That would be too embarrassing,” Huang Xiaolong said, feeling awkward.

He didn’t need anyone’s protection!

To him, an overseas sect was insignificant. Not to mention Zhongnan Mountain, he had even killed the son of the Shushan Sect’s Sect Master without fear.

“Senior, I won’t trouble you with this…” Huang Xiaolong declined.

“Little brother! Don’t be stubborn! It’s settled then!” Duanmu Wei hurriedly made the decision for Huang Xiaolong, looking at him with earnest and pleading eyes.

Huang Xiaolong’s heart softened, and he nodded. “Then I thank Elder Lan Yue in advance.”
