Chapter 388: Brother Shou?
Fu Zhi was stunned.
He thought of many possibilities, how the boy in front of him would explain his actions.
But the only thing he couldn't think of was this sentence "well arranged".
Is he... encouraging me?
Fu Zhi was stunned.
After being the city lord for so many years, this was the first time a junior dared to speak to him in this tone.
However, it was also this sentence that forced him to abandon the old ideas and start to take this young man seriously.
At first, he thought that the person who could break the "Heavenly Secret Array" in the sea of flowers would be an old senior who had been immersed in the spirit array for many years and even had a lot of research in the "Heavenly Secret Technique".
But after seeing this guy, he hesitated.
He looks so young... It's impossible to practice spirit arrays and Heavenly Secret Techniques so fast since the womb!
But the other party's words made him pick up his previous point of view again.
Without strength, how could he break the "Heavenly Secret Array"?
Without strength, how dare he speak and say this encouraging word?
"Sir, who are you?" he asked in a solemn voice.
Xu Xiaoshou was relieved when he heard "Sir".
The change from "you" to "Sir" meant that Fu Zhi was stunned.
Of course, all of this was based on his evil "weaving technique".
It had nothing to do with anything else.
Xu Xiaoshou controlled his words, slowed down his speech, and paced: "It doesn't matter who I am, or if I tell you who I am, you probably won't know."
He looked at Fu Zhi with a smile on his face.
Fu Zhi was stunned, and then his face turned red with shame again.
Yes!
He was trapped in his own "Heavenly Secret Array" for four years, isolated from the world, and out of touch with the times.
Who knows how he lived these four years?
He was in poverty and sorrow.
But he was so stubborn that he had to suffer in life. He could still communicate with Fu Xing, but he refused to admit that he was trapped in the spiritual array.
As a result, after four years of thinking, he still couldn't get out, but got deeper and deeper.
At the beginning, Fu Zhi still had a chance to forcefully break through the spirit formation.
But later, as the direction of the research on the "Tianshu Jipan" gradually deviated, he could no longer even forcefully break through.
Under the layers of spirit formations, the mysterious power made him crazy and obsessed.
And lost...
"Four years..."
Fu Zhi murmured, he really had no idea what the outside world was like.
He couldn't get in touch with Fu Xing after he said "retreat" once.
This led to the people in the City Lord's Mansion thinking that he was in retreat and dared not disturb him.
And he was in the nested spirit formation, and he couldn't get out without external help.
Thinking of this, Fu Zhi sighed softly.
Even if the boy in front of him detonated the spirit formation, he was his savior.
This is why Fu Zhi didn't take action for a long time.
He felt bad!
Xu Xiaoshou watched his expression change unpredictably, and finally after a struggle, a message "Thank you" popped up in the message bar.
He was stunned.
"Thank you?"
He blew up his spiritual formation, and he was still grateful?
What's in this guy's mind?
No one can understand Fu Zhi's thoughts at this moment without being locked up in his own spiritual formation for a few years.
Xu Xiaoshou was no exception.
But this did not prevent him from going with the flow.
"Let it go?" His voice was calm, as if he mentioned it casually.
As for what to let go, to be honest, Xu Xiaoshou himself didn't know.
Fu Zhi heard this inexplicable word, but sighed, knowing that the man in front of him was not simple, and saw through everything.
This kind of guy, I think he is not as simple as he looks on the surface, maybe...
It's all disguise!
Including this face, age, strength...
It's all fake!
——But it doesn't matter!
Fu Zhi's face tightened, but after letting it go, he felt relieved instead. He clasped his fists and said, "Thank you for your help. Only in this way can I escape from this trap, but..."
He looked embarrassed, looked away, and tilted his head and said, "Can you please keep it a secret for me? Don't publicize this matter?"
Xu Xiaoshou almost couldn't help laughing out loud.
But he just nodded lightly.
"Yes."
After a word fell, there was silence for a long time, and the two of them fell into embarrassment at the same time.
Xu Xiaoshou naturally knew that his frugality would cause such a situation, but all this was still within his calculations.
As long as he didn't feel embarrassed, the embarrassment would be someone else's.
When Fu Zhi couldn't hold it back and chose to change the subject, everything would be over.
Sure enough, the air was quiet for less than a few seconds, and Fu Zhi had already noticed something was wrong.
However, he was the city lord after all. Although he had been in a dilemma for several years, his social skills were still alive.
"May I ask your name?"
Before Xu Xiaoshou could speak, he continued: "After all, you are my savior. If I don't know your name, it would be disrespectful to me."
Xu Xiaoshou looked at his sincere face and hesitated.
He thought of "Zhou Tianshen" at the first time and almost blurted it out.
But after thinking about it carefully, this tall man seemed to be one of the four great families in Tiansang City. Maybe Fu Zhi knew it!
After all, his name was not something shameful, so Xu Xiaoshou did not hide it.
Some things, after all, can't be faked.
"Xu Xiaoshou."
After saying this, Fu Zhi's eyes flashed with hidden disappointment.
This name...
Is it so perfunctory?
Even if you don't want me to know your real name, you can make up a better one!
Xiaoshou?
"Suspected, passive value, +1."
Xu Xiaoshou raised his eyebrows. This guy still doesn't believe it?
He opened his lips and wanted to say something, but he didn't know that this Fu City Lord really hid all his emotions very well.
As soon as "suspected" popped up, this guy seemed to have suddenly changed into a different person, and slapped him enthusiastically.
"It turned out to be Brother Shou!"
"I've heard of you for a long time!"
Xu Xiaoshou: ? ? ?
Brother Shou?
This...
I can't do that, uncle!
He staggered and almost lost his legs.
It's okay for Fu Xing to call me brother, but you are a big man, you can be my uncle, you call me "Brother Shou"?
I'm so ashamed of it!
"Your Excellency is too kind. We don't seem to be that close?"
"Hey!" Fu Zhi naturally knew what Xu Xiaoshou was thinking. He patted his shoulder with a happy expression:
"Learning has no end. The one who achieves is the first. Just based on the wave of 'Heavenly Secret Technique' that Brother Shou just showed, he can bear this title!"
Fu Zhi laughed heartily, and while he was secretly observing Xu Xiaoshou's reaction.
I don't know if this guy will accept the "Heavenly Secret Technique" that was deliberately revealed!
You know, this thing is a secret that is not passed on even in the Holy Temple.
I was able to comprehend it because I got the "Tianshu Jipan" from the White Cave, but what channel did this guy in front of me comprehend it through?
Xu Xiaoshou's focus was not on the "Heavenly Secret Technique" at all.
The channel in his mind had been adjusted to an address that he didn't even know at this moment.
Brother Shou?
God damn Brother Shou!
In your family, is even the recognition of brothers inherited by blood?
But can you distinguish the objects?
You call me Brother Shou, and Fu Xing calls me Brother Shou, so how the hell should I address you?
Uncle?
Brother?
Or... Uncle's brother?
Xu Xiaoshou felt a little desperate, if this thing was exposed...
Help!
Am I pretending too much?
