"That's only natural. Why would I lie to Miss Lu?"
"Moreover, such a lie would be exposed as soon as it reached Mr. Huang, wouldn't it?"
"I don't look like someone so foolish, do I?"
Upon hearing Lü Linglong's threat, Zhou Xuan showed no signs of anger.
Instead, he continued to look at Lü Linglong with a smile.
He knew that his sudden appearance would naturally arouse suspicion!
And what he had just said was the truth.
Naturally, he wasn't afraid of Lü Linglong causing trouble over this matter later!
"Since that's the case, then you can come with us!"
"It just so happens that I'll bring my unpromising brother back to meet Master."
Seeing Zhou Xuan's assurance, Lü Linglong didn't say anything more.
She grabbed Lü Qixuan, who was watching the show, and pushed through the crowd.
She headed towards the interior of the commercial center.
Zhou Xuan chuckled upon seeing this.
Then he immediately quickened his pace and followed the two ahead.
Left behind at the scene was a bewildered host.
And a crowd of onlookers who had no idea what was happening.
"Hey, young man!"
"Is your Master really acquainted with my Master?"
"I've been following my Master for about two years!"
"How come I've never heard him mention having any friends?"
"Oh, and let me tell you!"
"My Master has a strange temper!"
"Every day, he either delves into his star-gazing techniques or finds fault with me and my sister!"
"Since you spoke up to help me out just now, I'll give you a piece of advice!"
"If you were lying to us just now, you should run now!"
"Otherwise, when you get in front of my Master, and he finds out about this!"
"His temper is even worse than my sister's!"
"Ouch!"
"Sis, why are you hitting me!"
"I'm just speaking the truth!"
Looking at Lü Qixuan, who had deliberately slowed down and walked to his side,
Now rubbing his forehead and wailing after receiving a light knock from Lü Linglong.
Zhou Xuan found it somewhat amusing.
These two siblings, seemingly with innocent personas.
But Zhou Xuan understood that neither of them was to be trifled with!
Lü Qixuan, while appearing to be concerned for him, was actually,
Just like his sister, harboring doubts about his identity and testing him.
However, Zhou Xuan had already said what he needed to say.
Since they still didn't believe him, Zhou Xuan didn't want to waste any more words explaining.
Everything would become clear once he met the real person.
Therefore, facing Lü Qixuan's seemingly well-intentioned reminder, Zhou Xuan merely smiled at him and didn't reply.
Thus, the three weaved through the crowded commercial center.
After about five or six minutes, Lü Linglong ahead slowly stopped.
Zhou Xuan turned his head and saw, on his left, an old-looking small building.
A plaque was prominently hung, and on the plaque were the three golden characters: Tian Wen Ge!
"Here, we've arrived!"
"Master is probably in the shop now, telling fortunes."
"You can come with me."
Looking at the somewhat run-down shop, Lü Linglong reminded Zhou Xuan.
Then, she strode in with her long legs, leading the way into Tian Wen Ge.
Zhou Xuan quickly followed.
Only Lü Qixuan, who was brought back by his sister.
Seemed somewhat hesitant when facing the three characters of Tian Wen Ge.
He didn't know how he should face his Master later.
But seeing that Zhou Xuan and Lü Linglong had already entered the shop.
He could only grit his teeth and follow.
The three entered the main gate of Tian Wen Ge.
What greeted them was a rather desolate small courtyard.
The reason it was desolate was that within the entire courtyard.
Besides a pavilion and a pond filled with lotus flowers.
Zhou Xuan saw nothing else.
Oh, no!
It wasn't quite accurate to say that.
Because in the pavilion, Zhou Xuan saw an old man with white hair and beard.
He was lying on a rocking chair, seemingly resting.
"Master, I'm back!"
"I brought Qixuan back too!"
"It was this kid's immaturity that offended you!"
"Now I've brought him back to apologize to you!"
"Qixuan, hurry up and come apologize to Master!"
Looking at the old man lying on the rocking chair, eyes closed,
Lü Linglong, who had just entered, immediately turned her head and shouted at Lü Qixuan, who was hiding behind her and afraid to speak.
Upon hearing his sister's words, Lü Qixuan, who had been lowering his head,
Wondering about something, shivered slightly.
Then, with difficult steps, he walked in front of the old man on the rocking chair.
And knelt on the ground with a thud.
"Disciple Lü Qixuan is unfilial!"
"I offended Master before!"
"Now, with a changed heart, I've returned to apologize to Master!"
"I beg Master for punishment!"
"Disciple will study diligently and be filial to Master in the future!"
"I will never make such a mistake again!"
As he spoke, Lü Qixuan repeatedly kowtowed to the old man on the rocking chair.
He had finally understood that what Zhou Xuan had said before was correct.
No matter what, the person in front of him was his Master.
Even if he truly wanted to prove himself, he shouldn't compete with him in this manner.
However, as Lü Qixuan's head was about to bleed from kowtowing.
The old man on the rocking chair still showed no reaction.
It was as if he had truly fallen asleep and hadn't heard the words of the Lü siblings.
Seeing this, Lü Linglong became a little anxious.
Just as she was about to speak and beg the Master for mercy for her brother.
The old man on the rocking chair finally opened his eyes.
However, the first thing the old man did upon opening his eyes was not to look at the Lü siblings.
Instead, he turned his head and stared at Zhou Xuan, who had been silent since entering.
"You're called Zhou Xuan, aren't you!"
"Are you that old fellow Tian Hua's disciple?"
"Not bad!"
"At such a young age, you've reached the mid-stage of the Creation Realm."
"And you possess a special physique."
"No wonder that arrogant old fellow took you as a disciple!"
"But why didn't your scoundrel of a Master come with you this time?"
"Is he afraid I'll eat him?"
Listening to the old man's words, Zhou Xuan's heart suddenly jolted.
This old man could accurately state his name upon their first meeting.
And without him releasing his true qi, he accurately stated his cultivation level and his possession of the Innate Dao Body.
If these weren't told to him by his Master.
Then Zhou Xuan would have reason to suspect if this person had already become a god!
After all, no matter how good someone was at calculating, it shouldn't be this outrageous, right?
Thinking of this, Zhou Xuan dared not be negligent.
He quickly cupped his hands and bowed, performing a junior's greeting.
"I am indeed Zhou Xuan!"
"My Master, due to the house arrest order issued by the state."
"Is temporarily unable to leave the mountain."
"When Master sent me out to train this time, he specifically instructed me."
"To pay a visit to you, Uncle, if I had the chance to reach Shang Jing."
"Master used to say that Uncle was a celestial being descended to earth."
"And could divine all worldly matters."
"I was somewhat skeptical at first."
"But now, I am completely convinced!"
"Uncle is truly a divine being!"
"Please accept a bow from this junior!"
