Chapter 45.1 - Lu Xinwen
In the s.p.a.cious room, there was a warm furnace rich with firewood inside, causing the temperature of the room compared to that of the outside to be simply as if two different worlds.
However, at this moment, Fan Shui felt a bone-chilling cold.
In his room, unbeknownst to anybody, there was suddenly one more individual.
This man’s hair at the temples was faintly white but eyes were clear and somewhat strict. His face, which carried a faint purple-brown color, temples, cheeks, rim of the eyes, and earlobes exuded an abnormally full feeling, as if filled with a strange vitality and liveliness. His pointed, rectangular face starkly highlighted his thin lips, and the corners of his mouth were obstinately concentrated downwards and pursed to the inside.
His eyes coldly watched Fan Shui, as if this tenth layer expert didn’t have the slightest difference compared to a beggar at the roadside and was completely incapable of moving him.
It was these cold eyes that caused Fan Shui’s heart to be filled with astonishment and an indescribable dread.
As the clan leader of the Fan family, he was obviously a knowledgeable and experienced person. Moreover, being able to become a peak Houtian, tenth layer expert before the age of sixty, his talent and efforts were far beyond an ordinary person’s imagination.
At the same time, in order to build up Fan family, he’d gained friends.h.i.+p of many highly skilled figures. For instance, Xiao brothers were his friends whom he’d spared no efforts to rope in.
However, for all the friends he’d made, he’d never encountered an individual with such unfathomable depths. He didn’t even know when this person entered his room.
After pulling his son, Fan Vastsun, behind his body, he opened his legs, a.s.suming a stance that would allow him to advance if he wished to attack or defend if he wished to retreat and calmly asked, “Who are you, Sir? What brings you to Fan residence?”
Fan Vastsun sneakingly glanced from behind his father’s back. The astonishment in his heart was no less than that of his father. This was actually the first time he’d seen such a fear-stricken expression on his father’s face.
He’d always believed that his father was a man who could support the heavens and earth- Zheng Tong county’s uncontested tenth layer expert who wouldn’t falter even if Mount Tai collapsed before him. Therefore, when his father revealed a terrified expression, his heart was also filled with billowing waves of astonishment.
The strange man with somewhat white hair but exceptional vitality neither replied nor continued to look at them, but turned around and went to the center of the room, and sat down on the big chair there.
His movements were not quick at all, but still made the father and son feel heavy in their hearts.
“The words you just said….are correct.”
He slowly spoke. His voice was not loud, but contained a power that could make one feel fear.
Fan Shui blankly stared. These words were as relevant compared to what he’d asked as a horse’s jaws with a bull’s head.
Cautiously and solemnly, he respectfully asked, “Sir, you mean….”
“Old man’s two disciples will indeed not abandon a comrade in the face of a battle.”
Fan Shui sucked in a breath of cold air as he suddenly realized, “You…you are the master of Xiao brothers?”
The man coldly said, “What, those two little guys didn’t tell you?”
Fan Shui hesitated a bit, drew his two legs closer again, and respectfully said, “Senior, those two never mentioned of senior before this junior. They said that only after their Inter
nal Energy attains the tenth layer will they have the qualifications to proclaim their master’s reputation under the heavens.”
These words although seemed somewhat strange, he was telling raw truth.
