Thud thud~
As the footsteps approached incessantly, a vast and mighty pressure like the sea surged into the hall from the door, pressing the two Golden Core members of the Luo Family into a slight change of color.
The expression of the Sneaky Old Man became grave as he looked outside the door.
A figure flickered, and Zhao Shengâs tall and sturdy body appeared at the doorway, almost blocking all light, instantly creating an illusion as if the sky itself was obscured by this person.
The Sneaky Old Manâs pupils shrank as he slowly stood up.
"Judging by your looks, you must be Master Luo An! I wonder why you have come to my manor?" Zhao Sheng gazed at the Sneaky Old Man, casually stepping into the hall as he spoke.
"How dare you, mere junior from the Chen Family, to directly call my great ancestor by name!" Luo Shuangquan slammed the table and shouted angrily.
A cold gleam flashed in Zhao Shengâs eyes as he looked at the middle-aged man who spoke.
Luo Shuangquanâs face changed drastically, his skin turned crimson, ready to drip blood, and he dropped back into his chair, unable to speak, his head throbbing fiercely.
"Haha, Shuangquan spoke rashly, making Master Chen Xi laugh." Sneaky Old Man said with a smile, unknowingly blocking in front of Luo Shuangquan.
Zhao Sheng strode with dragon-like majesty to sit at the most prominent seat, speaking calmly: "I have never met you, neither have we any acquaintance. You two suddenly barged in with such aggressive demeanor, it seems youâre not here with good intentions!"
"Haha, Master Chen Xi has misunderstood. It is indeed somewhat presumptuous of the three of us to come today. Yet, the matter concerns human life, thus I had to pay a visit. Shuangquan, apologize quickly!" The Sneaky Old Man first smiled faintly then sank his face, yelling at Luo Shuangquan.
"Master Chen, earlier I spoke offensively, please do not take it personally," Luo Shuangquan stood up, expressionless, cupping his hands as he spoke.
Zhao Sheng frowned, but it wouldnât be right to pursue further, lest appearing petty.
"Since youâve admitted wrongdoing, letâs leave it be," Zhao Sheng waved his hand, saying.
As Luo Shuangquan heard this, his body stiffened, slowly sitting back down.
"Daoist Luo, what are you here for today? Speak directly, I have a furnace of Spirit Pill ready to refine, time is limited."
"Haha, itâs nothing major. Just want to inquire a few things from your daughter, Chen Zhi. Please invite her out for a meeting." The Sneaky Old Man laughed.
Zhao Shengâs eyes slightly flickered, quite surprised at Luo Anâs straightforwardness.
"Very unfortunate! Days ago, Zhiâer secretly ran away from home. I too wish to know where she went. If Master Luo knows her whereabouts, please inform me soon. I shall greatly reward you." Zhao Sheng shook his head, expressing regret.
Upon hearing this, the Sneaky Old Manâs eye twitched slightly.
"I merely wish to inquire a few things, nothing more. Could it be that this small request, Mr. Chen, you wonât agree to?" The Sneaky Old Manâs expression was eerily calm, his gaze heavy upon Zhao Sheng.
"Iâve already said, Zhiâer is not here now. Youâve come to the wrong place." Zhao Sheng said indifferently, not even lifting his eyelids.
Sneaky Old Manâs face suddenly sank, his pupils contracted, and two glaring silver lights shot towards Zhao Sheng.
Zhao Shengâs face showed no alarm, his eyes radiating Divine Light, also shooting out two tangible golden lights, colliding with the two silver rays.
Bang! A loud explosion!
The golden light easily shattered the silver rays, lightning penetrating Sneaky Old Manâs eyes.
