Chapter 417: Old Buddies From the City Lord's Mansion

"Mr. Feng, is this what you said Xu Xiaoshou is missing?"

Fu Yinhong looked at Xu Xiaoshou, who was not far away facing the corner with his hands tied and shaking for a long time, and a hint of blush flashed across his pretty face.

The first time Mr. Feng lost his tracking target, he returned to Fu Xing.

But Fu Xing couldn't escape at all at this moment. The only thing he could do was to ask his sister to ask the master to follow him.

After all, there were not many people present who knew Xu Xiaoshou thoroughly, and there were only two people who knew his true destructive power!

To be honest, Fu Yinhong was extremely reluctant to come over and face Xu Xiaoshou again.

But she was also afraid that if this guy really disappeared, he would do something outrageous.

So, when I rushed here in a hurry, I found that Xu Xiaoshou, who was missing from Feng Lao's mouth, was actually in the corner...

pee?

"Under suspicion, passive value, +2."

Feng Ma also didn't expect that Xu Xiaoshou disappeared in the blink of an eye and then came back again.

"Dazzled?"

Without rubbing his presbyopia, Xu Xiaoshou came to his senses after trembling.

He turned around while fetching water from the Yuanfu Lingchi to purify his hands.

Then, as if he suddenly found someone behind him, his eyes widened and he was a little surprised.

"Ah, niece Xiaohong, why are you here?"

Fu Yinhong's beautiful eyes tightened, and her teeth clenched instantly.

This is the reason why he refused to come over.

Xu Xiaoshou continued: "Who is that? Where is the beautiful Queen who has been following you all this time? Also, didn't you go search for the blaster together?"

"Have you found it?"

Fu Yinhong said in her heart, I think not only you are the one responsible for the explosion, but also the thief is related to you!

But the sixth sense was obviously useless against the "uncle" in front of her. She gritted her molars and said, "Guardian Liu is still looking for me. I'm tired."

"Oh, it's okay if you're tired. Take a rest when you're tired. You can't force yourself. It doesn't matter if you can't find it. Your body is important."

Xu Xiaoshou shook off the water stains on his hands, wiped them with his sleeves and robes, and stepped forward.

"Who is this?"

He looked at the old man.

"Mr. Feng, my father's good friend, is a guest of the city lord's palace." Fu Yinhong explained.

Feng Ma's eyes darted back and forth between the two of them strangely. He didn't know why Xu Xiaoshou used "Xiao Hong's niece" when he called his peer, the little princess of the city lord's palace.

Is this a term of endearment among young people?

After all, I am getting old...

"Feng Ma."

He shook his head, sighed, and added.

After understanding the relationship between the two, Feng Ma looked at Xu Xiaoshou carefully.

I have just seen this boy fight. Apart from his arrogance and arrogance, to be honest, he has an extraordinary appearance and a superb temperament, so he is indeed a good match.

The more Feng Ma looked at it, the more satisfied he became. Fu Zhi would be very pleased to have such a son-in-law when he comes out of seclusion!

Unexpectedly, when Xu Xiaoshou heard that Feng Ma was Fu Zhi's good friend, he immediately laughed heartily, and then slapped Feng Ma on the shoulder.

"It turns out it's Brother Feng. I've admired him for a long time. Brother Fu and I have also been friends in the past years. Brother's brother is my brother!"

Feng Ma:? ? ?

Feeling the terrible force on his shoulders, he looked down in shock.

Did this kid really put his hand on me?

Come on, this young man is crazy. Where did he get the courage to call himself a brother?

Do you really think that the people standing in front of him are still those talented people who only know the three-legged cat kung fu?

Fu Yinhong closed her eyes deeply.

really.

The worst thing expected happened.

Even though he has said very few words, why can Xu Xiaoshou still grasp him so deeply?

The introduction I just gave should only have one name!

Feng Ma looked at Fu Yinhong holding his forehead, feeling an ominous premonition in his heart.

"You...the Brother Fu you just mentioned, have you been friends for many years?"

"Which one do you mean?" he asked.

"Who else could it be?"

Xu Xiaoshou stopped and laughed: "Of course it's Fu Xing...His father, Fu Zhi!"

Feng Ma immediately staggered.

Pay stop?

Hearing the previous words, he was still a little shocked and angry. After all, if it was Fu Xing, Xu Xiaoshou's casual chat would be too disrespectful.

But as soon as the name Fu Zhi came out, compared with the previous Fu Xing, Xu Xiaoshou could not have made a slip of the tongue.

"Do you know City Master Fu?"

Feng Ma didn't believe it at all.

As a missing person, Fu Zhi has not been seen for several years.

How could Xu Xiaoshou know someone who has never even met his own children?

If they knew each other before they disappeared, then it’s impossible for him, Feng Ma, not to know!

Xu Xiaoshou raised an eyebrow and looked at Fu Yinhong with some surprise.

"Little niece, your dad... no one knows about that yet?"

What he was referring to was the fact that Fu Zhi had already escaped from seclusion.

Fu Yinhong rolled her eyes and said she was too lazy to argue with Xu Xiaoshou about the title. Anyway, this guy was destined to be impossible to let go.

"No."

"Fu Xing doesn't know either?" Xu Xiaoshou asked.

"I don't know, too lazy to tell."

"It's no wonder..."

Xu Xiaoshou murmured, speaking of it, he did not see Fu Zhi again in the banquet hall.

Could it be that this guy hasn't been around for so long that he doesn't dare to come out and meet the world?

No, he seemed to want to take a shower.

Xu Xiaoshou was stunned.

Washing up...takes so long?

Feng Ma watched the two people's conversation without making any sense, and suddenly realized something, and his eyes flashed with joy.

"Could it be..."

"Let's go back first!"

Xu Xiaoshou was not a talkative person. Perhaps Fu Zhi, a middle-aged man, was a little romantic and wanted to create some surprises.

He led the way, and the two behind him did not dare to hesitate and could only follow closely.

Xu Xiaoshou sighed: "Why do I feel like I'm guarding against thieves? I didn't do anything. I just couldn't hold it in and happened to find no toilet."

He looked back at Fu Yinhong and said with emotion: "Your house is so big."

Fu Yinhong snorted and didn't dare to answer.

I don't believe you.

If you come out a little later, this wall will be melted by you.

Xu Xiaoshou saw that his niece was sulking alone, but he didn't get angry. He turned to Feng Ma and said: "By the way, Brother Feng, how is your relationship with Brother Fu?"

Feng Ma's mouth twitched. He didn't know whether Xu Xiaoshou arranged the relationship for him, or whether it was true or false.

But if Fu Yinhong didn't refute, what if this guy really knew Fu Zhi?

Let's give him some face!

"We have a good relationship, we have been fighting since childhood."

When he said this, he felt something was wrong.

As a transparent person beside the young city lord Fu in the city lord's mansion, he actually called a boy he had never met a brother today?

What's wrong with this world?

Xu Xiaoshou exclaimed, "We have been fighting since childhood, so we must have a very good relationship."

"Speaking of which, with your status, you are actually a guest official in the city lord's mansion?"

"Fu Zhi, that kid, is too casual, I will tell you in the future, brothers can't be used like this." Xu Xiaoshou's face was full of indignation.

"Fu Zhi, that kid..."

Fu Yinhong selectively blocked her hearing.

She was afraid that if she listened any more, she might not be able to help but take action.

The way back is still long, hold it back!

Feng Ma was stunned, and he took a long time to relax before reluctantly bringing Xu Xiaoshou's position to the same height.

After a chat, Feng Ma said, even though he felt a little out of place, "It's not like a servant... guest official, not really, but half a free man."

He glanced in the direction of Fu Yinhong, asking for help, but Fu Yinhong ignored him, quickened his pace, and passed the two of them in a flash.

Damn...

Xu Xiaoshou showed a look of all his thoughts.

"It's good like this, I know Brother Fu is a conscientious man."

He chatted casually, and Feng Ma was obviously not a talkative person. He was basically the one asking questions along the way, and Feng Ma answered concisely.

Finally, Xu Xiaoshou, who felt that he had completely established a friendship with Brother Feng, casually revealed his fox tail.

"So, how many guests like you, who are brothers, are there in the City Lord's Mansion?"

"After all, besides you, I only know one brother, Yuan. It's better to get to know more."

Fu Yinhong, who blocked her hearing, didn't expect Xu Xiaoshou to have led the topic off track. If she could still hear, she would have figured out Xu Xiaoshou's intention to find out the strength of the City Lord's Mansion.

But Feng Ma is different.

He was numb from all the chatter along the way. Suddenly, he heard a familiar "Brother Yuan" and his expression was dazed.

"Old Yuan?"

"Do you know Senior Yuan Sandao?"

Senior?

Xu Xiaoshou's heart skipped a beat. This old man has such a great background?

Even Feng Ma has to call him Senior?

Wasn't he making the wrong connection?

After all, I only know one person by name...

Xu Xiaoshou didn't panic, and said calmly: "It's not that I know him. Brother Fu introduced me to him. We are just friends."

He immediately changed the subject, "So, who are the other brothers in the City Lord's Mansion?"

Feng Ma didn't expect Xu Xiaoshou to know Yuan Sandao. Old Yuan has been famous for much longer than him.

He was numb in the beginning, and after this shock, he no longer had any doubts.

"There aren't many people in the City Lord's Mansion who can be considered your elder brothers."

Feng Ma smiled and said, "With your relationship, although the two guardians also call Fu Zhi the boss, the actual relationship is still at the level of subordinates."

"You can ignore these two. The main thing is those old guys."

A few...

Xu Xiaoshou tutted in his heart and said silently: "Who are they?"

"Qi Lao Er, Dongfang brother, Shu Gu Shu Lao Yao, and a pair of purple seal old mandarin ducks..."

Feng Ma's eyes were filled with memories: "They are all people from the old Saint Palace. These guys, let alone you, even I haven't seen them for a long time. Tsk tsk, thinking back to the past..."

He seemed to be opened up and began to talk nonstop.

Xu Xiaoshou didn't hear anything about the rest of the content.

Wow.

These names have never been heard, but they can be read out by Feng Ma in this tone. They must be the throne.

If even he hasn't seen them for a long time, could some of them have broken through to the way of killing?

Xu Xiaoshou felt cold in his heart.

He counted carefully, there were five just now, plus Feng Ma, it was six, plus the two guardians and Fu Zhi himself.

The nine thrones started, there was no upper limit!

Oh my gosh!

This City Lord's Mansion is almost as good as Tiansang Ling Palace!

Xu Xiaoshou suddenly lost some confidence in his secret plan.

He took advantage of Feng Ma's words and guided him in the direction, asking: "Are these old men really not coming out? Even more exaggerated than Fu Zhi's years of seclusion?"

"Heh."

"Coming out?"

Feng Ma sneered: "Based on their nature, I'm afraid they may not come out even if Tiansang County is blown up. When the White Cave is opened, if there is a mess, you may have a chance to see these old men."

"Only I am more worldly-wise and willing to come out and walk around."

Xu Xiaoshou felt relieved.

I am relieved.

Since it is a dreamer who cannot be awakened, it doesn't matter whether he exists or not.

Now we need to guard against the old man in front of us, the two guardians, and Fu Zhi himself.

If there is any accident, maybe keeping watch will be one of them...

Xu Xiaoshou was thinking in his heart, and he had unknowingly walked to the door of the banquet hall.

Fu Yinhong reopened her spiritual sense and reminded him unhappily: "Fu Xing said that if you want to leave the banquet hall later, you must take me with you!"

"Oh?"

Xu Xiaoshou's eyes lit up at the right time, "This is a good thing. I'll drink more wine later and call you when I go to the toilet!"

"Let's go to the toilet together when we have time."

Fu Yinhong: "..."

"Cursed, passive value, +1."

She turned her head and left directly, unwilling to say a word.

Feng Ma looked at her with a smile.

The picture of the young couple arguing is quite nice.

Suddenly, he realized that something was wrong.

If Fu Zhi has already recognized Xu Xiaoshou as a brother, then how can he be a son-in-law?

Wouldn't this mess up the generations?

He was stunned for a moment, and Xu Xiaoshou leaned over to his ear and whispered a thunderbolt.

"Brother, I won't hide it from you. Actually, Fu Zhi has come out of confinement. You should know where he is now."

"Go see him. He also said that he hasn't seen him for a long time and misses him very much."

After that, Xu Xiaoshou walked away.

Feng Ma was stunned behind him. Even though he had been aware of it before, he was still a little surprised when he was told the news.

Fu Zhi, really came out?

Looking at the threshold in front of him, Feng Ma didn't know whether to step in or leave.

He watched Xu Xiaoshou sit back in his seat obediently, and then looked at Fu Xing and Fu Yinhong on the high platform. Suddenly, he felt that the dust should have settled.

"Fu Zhi...this kid, he actually said 'long time no see, miss you very much'?"

Feng Ma suddenly laughed.

To be honest, in the end, he was indeed moved by this sentence.

"It shouldn't be a problem to leave for a while."

He retracted his half-step foot, turned around and disappeared.

...

"Hey, you're back?"

Mu Zixi said with a pursed mouth.

Xu Xiaoshou's "perception" attention was withdrawn from the direction where Feng Ma disappeared at the door, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He looked at the girl in front of him and said with some amusement: "What's wrong? No one dares to come and chat with me now? Are you blaming me again?"

Mu Zixi: "..."

"Cursed, passive value, +1."

Xu Xiaoshou looked at the platform.

At this time, the battle has entered a white-hot stage. Obviously, everyone is fighting for the remaining white cave quota.

And below, there are already several exhausted, bleeding, but excited young men and women standing.

"This should be the guy who got the white cave quota, right?"

Xu Xiaoshou murmured.

"Yes, they are all very powerful, and some of them have broken through to the Grandmaster level."

Mu Zixi watched the battle and said: "But no one came out to challenge you before, it's really strange."

Xu Xiaoshou thought to himself that it would be strange if they were willing to come out.

Not everyone is as "full of vitality" as he is, and most of the moves are either passive skills that do not consume spiritual energy, or pure sword moves.

After ten rounds of round-robin battles, those who can hold on are all truly great people!

I was not able to participate, but I think these guys should be among the best in their respective counties.

Xu Xiaoshou took a glance and saw that five of the eight winners were in the Tianxiang realm.

At such an age, being able to enter the Grandmaster realm is already extremely terrifying.

And the remaining ones who do not have the Grandmaster cultivation but can still get a place...

These should be the real ruthless people.

Watching the battle, Xu Xiaoshou's heart itched again. He suddenly stood up and was about to walk towards the platform.

"Xu Xiaoshou, what are you doing?" Mu Zixi was shocked.

"What?"

Xu Xiaoshou smiled and said, "Others dare not challenge me, but the rules don't say that I can't challenge others."

As soon as these words came out, several old men around him looked at them alertly.

That makes sense!

This guy, is he still planning to go on stage?

"Suspected, passive value, +23."

Just then, a guard in white armor came quickly from a distance, as if he was afraid that if he walked a step slower, he would not be able to catch up with Xu Xiaoshou's speed.

"Stop."

The guard came over with a piece of paper, "Xu Xiaoshou, right?"

"It's me, what?" Xu Xiaoshou was stunned.

"Sorry, you probably can't go on stage to challenge."

The guard said apologetically, and then shook the paper in his hand.

"This is a new rule. To be honest, it's all aimed at you."

"Among the fourth and fifth items, young people who have obtained the "Unstoppable" badge cannot challenge in the same competition."

Xu Xiaoshou was completely stunned, and Mu Zixi had a look of eating melons on his face, and almost laughed out loud.

The old people on the side looked at each other with playful eyes.

This operation is very coquettish.

There are actually rules made for one person?

"Who made it?" Xu Xiaoshou's face darkened.

"Xiao Fu City Lord, that is, Fu Xing."

The guard lowered his head: "Xiao Fu City Lord said that if you have any objections, just go to him, and he will turn a blind eye to everything."

Xu Xiaoshou: "..."

Cursed...

Good guy, who did you learn this bad idea from?

I found out, I must break his legs!

When we met before, why didn't I see that Fu Xing was such a black-bellied guy!

He took the paper with a headache. It was a full page, and it was also densely covered with array patterns to prevent violent destruction.

If he really wanted to talk, Xu Xiaoshou would naturally not be stumped by this thing.

But...

Forget it.

"What about the 'Unstoppable' badge? I didn't get mine?"

Xu Xiaoshou stretched out his hand with a gloomy face.

The guard took out a purple jade-carved spiritual jade badge and put it on Xu Xiaoshou's open hand.

"Xiao Fu City Lord said that this was specially made for you in a hurry. The protective spiritual array inside is also very powerful. I hope you like it."

Xu Xiaoshou: "..."

Good guy, good Fu Xing!

You have grown up, your wings are hard, and you have learned to cheat your uncle, right!

You wait for me...

"Okay."

"I understand."

Xu Xiaoshou sat down again with a painful face, and the guard immediately clasped his fists and said goodbye.

"Restricted again?"

Mu Zixi said jokingly: "This time, you are framed from head to toe, the kind that can't move at all."

Bang!

Xu Xiaoshou buckled a knuckle on the little girl's head, knocking her ponytail straight.

"Shut up, little girl."

"If you dare to go to the ring, take five places, and your brother will let you mock me."

Mu Zixi wrinkled her nose and immediately covered her forehead with her hands.

"Cursed, passive value, +1, +1, +1, +1..."

...

The competition of the Refining Spirit Dao came to an end soon.

After Xu Xiaoshou took five places alone, the remaining twenty places were not enough.

Some county cities even fought hard, and the children of several major families went up, but they were still killed in the last few critical rounds.

And in big cities like Tiansang City, even if the four giants and the City Lord's Mansion did not fight, the rest of the forces added up to get as many as six places.

The gap between the cities can be seen.

What attracted Xu Xiaoshou's attention the most was an acquaintance.

Qu Qing'er.

This girl should be the proud daughter of heaven from Duojin Business.

She looked younger than herself, and her development was indeed amazing. In the previous battle, she had already shown the peak of the celestial realm.

Just relying on cultivation, he crushed all the young geniuses present.

"Awesome!"

Xu Xiaoshou didn't know if this kind of person had a big background in secret.

But if it was just a wealthy business, many geniuses present had similar backgrounds.

In the end, he could cultivate to this level at such a young age and still have real combat power.

There is no other way except to work hard!

"I admire you."

Xu Xiaoshou felt that if he were to do it, he would definitely not be able to do it.

He was too lazy. He even had to rely on passive breathing to cultivate. The only time he could really cultivate without distraction every day was estimated to be when he went to bed at night.

...

"The Refining Spirit Dao Contest is over."

Fu Xing presided over the process on the high platform. He looked at the sword cultivators who were eager to try and felt the atmosphere was not cold but hot. Without hesitation, he announced immediately.

"The sword Dao Contest starts now. The rules are the same as before!"

Everyone was in an uproar.

The sword cultivators present were not just geniuses from Tiansang County.

It can be said that those who really come from afar for the White Cave must be swordsmen with some sword intent.

And those who can come and dare to come here are all confident.

These people may disdain the battles of soul refiners, or only focus on the competition between sword cultivators, or desire the sparks of pure sword intent...

In short, in the Sword God Heaven of the East Region, there is only one thing that makes people yearn for more than the colorful soul refining battles.

That is swordsmanship!

"Here we come!"

During the banquet, as Fu Xing said, many unfamiliar faces stood up.

These people are old or young, but obviously they have not reached the point where they cannot participate in the battle due to middle age.

And those who can sit in the banquet, not go to the high platform to watch, are obviously only from other places, and are guests with great backgrounds behind them and valued by the City Lord's Mansion.

"Let's start, let's start, Senior Brother, Second Brother, if you think it's Junior Brother, I'll go up and take five places, and then you guys can go up."

"Or should we take them together?"

"There are three platforms anyway."

Gu Qingsan, the swordsman without swords, asked with burning eyes.

He had been envious of Xu Xiaoshou's demeanor for a long time.

After the sparring in the inn that day, it seems that the three of them knew that they were deceived by this guy.

Even the sword thought was basically correct, it was Xu Xiaoshou's!

It was a pity that he was really blind at that time and couldn't see it...

But now is not the time to think about these things, let's go back to the sword competition.

Before the battle started, Gu Qingsan had already decided the 20 white cave places for this fight.

Xu Xiaoshou took five, the eldest brother and the second brother each took five, and he took five.

Perfect!

"Eldest brother, what do you think?" Gu Qinger also looked at the boss.

Even though the swordsman Gu Qingyi was sitting, the gray sword in his arms still did not leave his chest.

He glanced at the other sword cultivators present, and sure enough, none of them was up to standard.

"Is the white cave place important?"

Focusing his eyes on Xu Xiaoshou's already rising body, Gu Qingyi chuckled and said: "Real sword competition is the way that sword cultivators like us should yearn for!"

"No matter what order he is in, as long as Xu Xiaoshou dares to go up, you all take turns to challenge him!"

"If you can cut him off the high platform, I will teach you 'Big Buddha Slash'!"
