Hearing this, Zhou You smiled.
He knew the jig was up.
That Sun Ling had glanced over here before; Zhao Qian didn't recognize him, but he definitely recognized Zhao Qian.
This was the advantage of concealing one's identity with a mask.
Old Dog was experienced; when he conducted his investigation, he had already figured most of it out.
"Young Master."
Old Dog whispered, "We need to retreat. That guy with the knife is extremely formidable."
How could the person who cleaved an eighth-grade Wolf King with one strike not be formidable?
Who the hell would dare provoke him!
He, a mere Zhen Xuan Realm Cultivator, probably didn't even deserve to be cleaved by the opponent.
Zhou You smiled as he looked at the Golden-Striped Dragon Fish in front of him. "Such an expensive dish, are you willing to not eat it? You can leave if you want, but I need to eat my fill first."
Immediately, he picked up his chopsticks. "Don't just stand there, let's eat."
With a piece of fish in his mouth, Zhou You's eyes instantly lit up.
It was…
Delicious!
He couldn't fully describe the feeling; the freshness was simply unparalleled.
Compared to this, Lu Renjia's barbecue was not worth eating.
With various thoughts in their minds, everyone picked up their chopsticks.
At first, they all thought it was expensive, but now, after one bite, they were silent.
They even felt that being able to eat such a high-grade dish in this life meant they hadn't lived in vain.
The subsequent dishes were served one after another; it didn't matter if they recognized them or not, as long as they were delicious.
"Damn it, this is too delicious, isn't it?"
Old Dog couldn't help but curse. "Are you sure there's no drug in this?"
Zhou You smiled and said, "Eat your food, why so much nonsense."
On the third floor opposite Zhou You, the woman from the Moon Emperor Sect looked over, her gaze falling on the Zhu Xie Sword at Zhou You's waist.
Due to a lack of basic maintenance, the scabbard of this sword appeared very old.
Even the most powerful perception couldn't sense the specific power contained within this sword. In short, it was a very ordinary sword.
"Evil Extermination."
The Moon Emperor Sect woman's vermilion lips parted slightly. She was focused on the ancient character on the sword's hilt.
This character had great significance, as it represented someone's personal sword.
Town Guardian Envoy Niu Dali's personal sword—the Zhu Xie Sword.
Town Guardian Envoy Niu Dali was the strongest Loose Cultivator in three thousand years.
Please note, the strongest Loose Cultivator.
This person owned nothing, came from a humble background, and only the 'Zhu Xie Sword' became his symbol of identity.
No one had seen the specific appearance of the Zhu Xie Sword, because those who had seen it had all died.
Over time, no one wanted to see it anymore.
But for some major powers, they still remembered the basic characteristics of this sword.
However, many things happened later. Niu Dali was the first person to lead the world's common people to Cultivate, and because of this, many people imitated the Zhu Xie Sword.
"Fan Blood Realm."
The Moon Emperor Sect woman furrowed her beautiful brows slightly.
Could it be…
Wrong again?
During this time, she had already eliminated hundreds of people.
According to her Master, finding Niu Dali's last Disciple was crucial for the future status of the Moon Emperor Sect.
To think of Niu Dali, nicknamed the Bloody Sword Butcher, who had killed countless people and Yao Beasts, how could his last Disciple be in the Fan Blood Realm!
What's more, this last Disciple had accompanied Niu Dali for a full hundred years, being the longest-staying of Niu Dali's five Disciples.
It was obvious that Niu Dali's last Disciple must possess extraordinary talent and extremely high cultivation.
The Moon Emperor Sect woman retracted her gaze, sighing faintly in her heart.
She felt that her current actions were akin to searching for a needle in a haystack.
The most frustrating thing was that when searching for a needle in a haystack, you at least knew there was indeed a needle that fell into the sea.
But Niu Dali's last Disciple, his name and appearance were unclear.
According to her Master, people with insufficient strength could not clearly see Niu Dali's Disciple when they were near him, and thus could not describe him.
The only thing that could be confirmed was—he was a male.
This information was indeed very important; at least it could rule out half the people.
… … … …
After the meal, Old Dog no longer spoke of waste.
He only felt that if he could eat this every day, that would be the greatest joy in life.
Old Dog looked at Zhou You again, feeling that this guy's Heart-Nature was truly terrifying.
Even though he knew he was exposed, he didn't panic at all.
Zhou You was outwardly calm, but inwardly, he was pondering many things. Before he made a move, the first essential element was perception.
This perception was…
I know I'm weak, but if my perception tells me you're even weaker, then it's certainly okay to make a move.
Ultimately, he was currently just in the Fan Blood Realm.
Therefore, he tried not to act if possible, but if he had to, he had to strike first.
Zhou You stretched lazily and walked out without a word.
Seeing this, the others followed suit.
They had grown accustomed to Zhou You's way: leaving whenever he wanted, stopping whenever he wanted.
Many times, he wouldn't waste time with unnecessary chatter.
Old Dog secretly glanced opposite, noticing that Sun Ling subtly looked over. So he also pretended not to look in that direction and looked upwards instead.
"Young Master."
Old Dog leaned in again. "That Moon Emperor Sect woman is also here."
Zhou You was indifferent to this. "Her legs are her own; isn't it normal for her to go anywhere?"
Old Dog whispered, "I was wondering, is there really a Treasure Trove?"
Zhou You said, "You can go check it out."
Old Dog's eyes darted around, remaining silent.
After leaving the door, Xiao Jing pulled Old Dog aside and quietly asked, "What were you so secretive about with Young Master Zhou? Let me tell you now, you're not allowed to do anything messy. And anyone who dares to eat at Supreme Purity Restaurant, which one of them is easy to deal with? If they make a move on you, I'm afraid you won't even have a chance to be buried."
Old Dog said seriously, "Look at what you're saying. Am I that kind of person?"
Xiao Jing glared. "I'm very sure you are."
Old Dog pouted. "Just relax, I haven't lived enough yet; I wouldn't go looking for death for no reason."
Xiao Jing took a deep breath. "Anyway, once we find a clue about Lu Renjia, we have to leave. Some things are just not for us to get involved in. You've traveled the world for so many years; you understand this principle better than I do."
Hearing this, Old Dog fell silent.
He did understand the principle, and he was the one who taught it to Xiao Jing.
But the problem was…
This big fat sheep beside him was simply too fat.
He could get rich just by picking up scraps; if he were a woman, he would have already thrown himself at him.
"Old Dog!"
Xiao Jing reprimanded in a low voice, his eyes filled with worry.
He was increasingly feeling that something was wrong. There were too many mysteries surrounding this Young Master Zhou, so many that he was starting to feel scared.
He even wondered, if this person had always been pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger, and there was no so-called Dao Protector at all.
Then, had he seen through Old Dog's little schemes long ago?
Was he just waiting to toy with them in the end by not exposing him sooner?
