Chapter 496 Vest Exposed
"Did you see which direction he went?" Guan Bi asked, frowning.
"East of Hundred Flowers City!"
Goddess Peak is located to the west of Hundred Flowers City. No matter where Bailu and Guanbi go to look for him, they should not be affected.
"East? Miss, where do you think he'll go?"
Bai Lu shook her head. "I still think that Shen Xu will definitely appear at the Hundred Flowers Festival. We don't need to look for him at all."
"Alright!" Guan Bi nodded.
Shen Xu was quite surprised; when did Bai Lu become so clever?
Is it really that magical that becoming an astrologer can increase one's IQ?
He couldn't help but feel a little worried. His words today didn't stand up to scrutiny, and they would find out sooner or later, and then he would definitely be discovered.
He finally found such a good opportunity to run away.
It seems he'll have to change his identity again after today.
What a pity! He actually quite liked the pseudonym Shen Hansan.
At this moment, Song Han and his companion walked up to the group.
"Are you sure you want to help Ji Ling Shuang?" Song Han asked, frowning.
"Take money and do things for people!"
Song Han was overjoyed and immediately asked, "How much money do you need? As long as you're willing to ignore this matter, I can give you any amount you want."
"Young Master Song is insulting my professional ethics."
Song Han took a deep breath. "Why are you picking on the Song family? They don't seem to have done anything to offend you!"
"I already said I was asked to do this, don't you understand?"
Song Han clenched his fist. "Then can you tell me who commissioned you?"
"I made a deal with Senior Guo when he was still alive."
"You mean, protecting Ling Shuang was entirely your personal act?" A glint of light flashed in Song Han's eyes.
"How could I possibly offend Young Master Song on my own?" Shen Xu said with a smile.
Song Han's heart sank, even though he couldn't be sure of the relationship between the young man in front of him and Aoki.
But if he really is that person, things get complicated.
Song Han looked at Bai Lu and Guan Bi, who probably didn't know that the person they were looking for was right in front of them.
Why did he come to Hundred Flowers City conceal his identity? And why did he protect Ji Ling Shuang? What did Senior Guo trade with him? What does he know? And what is Qing Mu's attitude towards all of this?
Although he was extremely unwilling, he had to admit that the young man in front of him was not someone he could suppress.
If we want him to compromise, we must get the Grand Elder to intervene!
As if by telepathy, a middle-aged man came out from the inner hall and walked to their side, saying, "Young Master Song, Ling Shuang, the esteemed officials wish to see you."
Ji Ling Shuang immediately looked at Shen Xu in a flustered manner.
"Please inform the esteemed lords that since I promised Senior Guo to protect her, I will not let her out of my sight today. Otherwise, please step over my dead body."
"Nonsense! Who are you and what right do you have to interfere in the affairs of the Ji family!"
"Ling Shuang, didn't you promise me this before? What do you mean by bringing someone like this here now?"
Ji Ling Shuang's gaze dimmed instantly.
The old lady had only been gone for a short time, and they couldn't wait to sell her to the Song family.
Even her own father wanted to sell her; the instructions from her ancestors were worthless in their eyes.
"Let's talk this out. First of all, I wasn't sent by Miss Ji. I came to Baihua City at the request of Miss Ji's grandmother."
Unless you don't consider Senior Guo a member of the Ji family, as part of the deal, I think I should have the right to manage this matter.
"Words are no proof; who knows if you're in cahoots with this girl!"
"Believe it or not, I'm only responsible for the content of the transaction," Shen Xu replied nonchalantly.
The onlookers were stunned. Who was this person? How dare he offend the judging panel? Did he really have the ability and background, or was he just a hothead?
"Seeing that Young Master Song and Ling Shuang's decision was made by the judging panel, how dare you, a mere brat, defy the panel's decision? You'd better stay away from me if you're looking for death!" the middle-aged man said coldly.
"Senior, please don't misunderstand. I have never disobeyed the jury's decision. I only asked to go with Miss Ji to meet the officials in case anyone tries to harm her."
If you are unable to make a decision, please inform them.
"How dare you! The judging panel isn't for just any nobody. Get out of my way! Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."
Shen Xu had a headache. With Guan Bi and Bai Lu by his side, he couldn't use many of his methods. If the middle-aged man really attacked him, he would have a hard time dealing with the situation.
Moreover, he didn't believe that with such a commotion outside, the people inside hadn't noticed anything; they probably all wanted to use the middle-aged man to give him a hard time.
"Wow! It's so lively! I love lively places."
At that moment, a cheerful voice rang in everyone's ears.
"Brother, is there anything I can help you with? I think you're quite pleasing to the eye!" Yuan Wuwei came to Shen Xu's side and put his arm around his shoulder.
Xie Yue's expression changed drastically. "That bastard! I told him not to cause trouble, and now he's about to get into such big trouble."
However, she could not abandon Yuan Wuwei to remain aloof; this person was even more important to her than the Chiyuan Sect.
"and who are you?"
The middle-aged man's eyes were full of surprise and doubt. He did not expect that someone would come to help this young man at this time. Could it be that this young man's identity is not simple?
Shen Xu was also a little puzzled as to how this guy had recognized him.
"It seems none of you know me! Let me introduce myself, my name is Yuan Wuwei." After saying this, Yuan Wuwei waited expectantly for the surprised looks on everyone's faces.
But apart from a few people, most of them were still puzzled; they had never heard of this person before.
“Yuan Wuwei is someone I brought with me, and he is also one of the greatest contributors to helping Lord Qingmu obtain his title,” Xie Yue explained on his behalf.
Upon hearing this, everyone seemed to wake from a dream and looked at Yuan Wuwei with awe.
Yuan Wuwei clearly enjoyed being the center of attention, frequently nodding to everyone.
"Brother, tell me what you need, and if I can do it, I'll definitely help you!" Yuan Wuwei patted Shen Xu's shoulder heavily.
After he arrived at the Sword Alliance, he went to look for Shen Xu several times, but he always came up empty-handed. This guy is really a busy man.
Since Zuo Chen told him to cooperate unconditionally with Shen Xu's actions, he would help him do whatever he wanted.
But why is this guy hiding his identity?
Given his status and position, while he couldn't be said to be unstoppable in Hundred Flowers City, he was certainly untouchable.
Bai Lu and Guan Bi looked at Shen Xu with suspicion. One coincidence is one thing, but so many coincidences happening to one person at the same time makes it hard not to be suspicious.
Moreover, they all knew that Shen Xu's illusion skills were not weak. In Baiyu City, he almost used illusions to deceive a Yuan Dan realm cultivator. Now, it would be too easy for him to hide his appearance with illusions.
Thinking this, the two exchanged a glance.
