Chapter 387 - Green Bamboo Identity

Old Man Green Bamboo spoke leisurely, but he clearly displayed his respect for Ling Xiao, causing Wang Yuanba, who was at the side, to feel very uncomfortable.

They were both guests, but why was there such a huge difference in treatment?

Just as Wang Yuanba was feeling uneasy, Hu Chong walked to his side.

Wang Yuanba raised his head, his face was filled with suspicions, he did not understand what was going on, but he heard Hu Chong's cold voice.

"Clan Head Wang, please move." This caused Hu Chong to make a gesture of 'please'. Even though it was very polite, it was obvious that he was sending off the guests with these words.

This was the living quarters of the Old Man Green Bamboo. If Wang Yuanba were to move here, where could he move to?

Needless to say, he just wanted Wang Yuanba to leave.

Seeing Hu Chong's serious expression, Wang Yuanba knew that this was not a joke and it was most likely the intention of the Old Man Green Bamboo. After being stunned for a while, he could only sigh heavily, get up, and walk to the door.

If it wasn't for the fact that it wasn't the first time that Wang Yuanba had bumped into a wall, and it was already a habit, with his temper, he would have stirred up a ruckus after such a thing happened.

But now, he had to leave with his tail between his legs. Before leaving, Wang Yuanba turned to look at Ling Xiao, although he did not say anything, he had placed his hopes on Ling Xiao. If Ling Xiao could win him over to the Old Man Green Bamboo, then the position of the Wang Family would naturally rise.

When Wang Yuanba left the room, the atmosphere in the room seemed to have become a lot more gentle all of a sudden.

Old Man Green Bamboo put down the book in his hands, raised the teacup and took a sip, then laughed: "I was just saying to disciple, I wanted to see what Sect Leader Ling looked like, I didn't expect to see it so soon."

Hearing that, Ling Xiao also smiled slightly, he looked at Linghu Chong and then looked at Old Man Green Bamboo, "It looks like it was your elder's summons that brought me to this Luoyang City."

When Old Man Green Bamboo heard this, he could not help but laugh out loud and said, "Sect Leader Ling is really as the rumors say, very interesting."

"Sorry." Ling Xiao replied very modestly.

Since Old Man Green Bamboo was already old, he deserved Ling Xiao's respect. The most important thing was that he gave Ling Xiao a very good impression.

After drinking another mouthful of tea, the Old Man Green Bamboo opened his mouth and said: "Sect Leader Ling, I wonder what kind of crime Hu Chong committed in Huashan Mountain that caused him to be injured so badly. This brat's background is not bad, his perception is also very high.

Hearing this, Ling Xiao could not help but raise his eyebrows slightly, "Old Mr, I naturally know of Hu Chong's ability, but if something like this happened, of course there would be a reason, it was just that I was curious, did he not personally tell you?"

The Old Man Green Bamboo wanted to test Ling Xiao, but Ling Xiao was not so easily fooled.

Although he did not understand why the Old Man Green Bamboo wanted to seek justice for Linghu Chong, Ling Xiao did not commit any heinous acts. Even if he was respectful to the Old Man Green Bamboo, he definitely would not act in a humble manner.

Seeing that Ling Xiao was still indifferent, the Old Man Green Bamboo slightly nodded, then looked at Linghu Chong and said indifferently: "Did you see that? Do you know why the new Sect Leader of the Huashan Mountain is not you, but the Sect Leader Ling?

When Linghu Chong heard this, he immediately bowed respectfully and said, "Disciple will remember."

After that, Old Man Green Bamboo once again focused his gaze on Ling Xiao, carefully sizing him up, as if he was trying to find something.

Facing the Old Man Green Bamboo's scrutiny, Ling Xiao did not budge an inch.

Seeing such a calm Ling Xiao, Old Man Green Bamboo squinted his eyes, "Even though you are still young, you are much stronger than that old thief Yue Buqun. If Huashan Mountain gives you this, your future will be limitless."

Hu Chong was startled by these words. As a disciple of the Old Man Green Bamboo, he naturally knew the abilities of the Old Man Green Bamboo and what it meant to hear him say such words.

Could it be that Ling Xiao was really that strong, Hu Chong was unwilling to admit it. He even wanted to find an opportunity to defeat Ling Xiao.

But after hearing his own Master's evaluation of Ling Xiao, Hu Chong's state of mind wavered.

"Old Mr is too kind, I just did something that I should have done." Ling Xiao said indifferently.

Hearing this, Old Man Green Bamboo's expression became serious, as if he was not satisfied with Ling Xiao's answer.

"Alright, this old man won't keep you guessing anymore. Since you're so patient, you can continue to be courteous. Let this old man be direct." Old Man Green Bamboo said in a serious tone.

Ling Xiao nodded, and said: "Old Mr, please."

Seeing this scene, Hu Chong's impression of Ling Xiao changed yet again. From the moment he had seen the Old Man Green Bamboo until now, this was the first time he had ever seen the Old Man Green Bamboo lose his composure like this. However, Ling Xiao didn't say anything.

"What are you doing in Luoyang?" Old Man Green Bamboo leaned forward slightly and looked into Ling Xiao's eyes.

Facing the Old Man Green Bamboo's gaze, Ling Xiao said indifferently: "Come look for someone."

"You aren't here to look for Wang Family." The Old Man Green Bamboo said.

Ling Xiao nodded.

"The man you're looking for, you know he's here." The Old Man Green Bamboo continued.

Ling Xiao nodded again.

"How do you know?" The Old Man Green Bamboo continued to ask.

This time, Ling Xiao shook his head.

Old Man Green Bamboo frowned, feeling increasingly agitated.

At the side, Linghu Chong listened attentively to the conversation between the two. He was completely confused. One of them was talking while the other was performing some kind of action. It was as if they were trying to solve a riddle; the others simply couldn't understand what they were trying to say.

"Ling Xiao, oh Ling Xiao, just who are you?" Old Man Green Bamboo spoke again, still asking questions.

Ling Xiao smiled, "Huashan Mountain, Ling Xiao."

Hearing this answer, Old Man Green Bamboo became dissatisfied, he swayed his body, then pointed at himself and asked: "Do you know who this old man is?"

Ling Xiao didn't immediately answer, but raised his head to look at Linghu Chong. The latter was at a loss and didn't know what to do when he saw Ling Xiao's gaze, and didn't know what kind of response to give.

After waiting for a while, Ling Xiao slowly spoke: "Old Mr is from Sun Moon Divine Hall."

This was synonymous with a cult villain. When the people of Jianghu who believed themselves to be righteous heard these words, they immediately became furious, wanted to teach him a lesson, or perhaps flee out of fear.

One could imagine how hateful Sun Moon Divine Hall's position was in the Jianghu, and Hu Chong would never have thought that the Old Man Green Bamboo would actually come from the Sun Moon Divine Hall.

With just a few words, Hu Chong's inner world had collapsed. The Master who saved him was actually a member of the Sun Moon Divine Hall, this was something Hu Chong found hard to accept.
