Chapter 389 - Green Bamboo Lady

With Wang Yuanba's orders, Ling Xiao's room was quickly filled with servants. They poured tea, changed clothes, washed up, and even served food, basically arranging everything that Ling Xiao needed to do.

was caught off guard by the sudden turn of events. He was not used to it, but since he was already here, he might as well enjoy it.

After finishing breakfast, Ling Xiao went to the meeting hall leisurely.

Upon entering the hall, Ling Xiao felt two pairs of eyes focusing on him.

One of them was Wang Yuanba, the impatience on his face was obvious. When he saw Ling Xiao, his eyes lit up as if he was looking at a treasure.

"Sect Leader Ling, quickly sit." Wang Yuanba seemed to be unable to sit still as he directly got up and walked to Ling Xiao's side, urged him to sit down, and poured a cup of water.

Ling Xiao was very clear why King Chu Yuanba was so anxious, because he thought that Hu Chong would come to the Prince Mansion this time to represent the Old Man Green Bamboo. From his point of view, the reason the Old Man Green Bamboo had sent Hu Chong to visit him was because he decided to get closer to the Wang Family.

However, that was not the case. The reason Hu Chong came to Prince Mansion was purely because Ling Xiao was temporarily staying there. It was because Hu Chong came to look for Ling Xiao.

Returning back to his seat, Wang Yuanba said: "Sect Leader Ling, perhaps Mr. Hu Chong doesn't like this old man. After all, he had disturbed you a few times and you didn't seem to be having a good time.

It seemed that when Ling Xiao was not around, Hu Chong would make sure to keep a cold face for Wang Yuanba to see.

After Ling Xiao heard this, he felt it was funny and said: "Oh really, then Clan Head Wang should have some self-awareness. Since you don't like others and still insist on staying here, then aren't you deliberately trying to spoil other people's mood?"

Hearing Ling Xiao's somewhat mocking words, Wang Yuanba immediately became awkward, and helplessly laughed twice.

This was, after all, Wang Yuanba's residence. Ling Xiao would naturally not order his master to leave, but a few words of ridicule would still be fine.

However, Linghu Chong seriously listened to Ling Xiao's jokes, and after nodding his head, he said to Wang Yuanba: "Clan Head Wang, I do indeed have some private matters that I need to tell you, could you excuse me?"

"This …" Wang Yuanba's face became even more unsightly. Originally, Ling Xiao had mocked and ridiculed him, but why did Hu Chong say so too?

If it was a normal person, Wang Yuanba would definitely be angry, but right now, Wang Yuanba did not want to give up halfway, in his opinion, it was a very good news that Linghu Chong was able to come to the Prince Mansion, it was related to the attitude of the Old Man Green Bamboo, thus Wang Yuanba forcefully suppressed the anger in his heart and gave up the hall to Ling Xiao and Linghu Chong.

"Without this old man's order, no one will come to disturb us. Please do not worry and discuss in detail. If you have anything to ask, ask them clearly. Do not leave anything out." When Wang Yuanba walked to the door, he turned around to look at Ling Xiao, and as he emphasized the last sentence, it was as if it was said on purpose for Ling Xiao to hear.

Ling Xiao merely smiled and ignored his.

After Wang Yuanba left, Linghu Chong frowned slightly and said, "Sect Leader Ling, did you and Wang Yuanba fail to make a deal? Why does he value my appearance so much?"

"Hehe, you sure have become smarter. If you were this smart in the Huashan Mountain back then, you wouldn't have been reduced to such a state." Ling Xiao smiled and said, he did not deny it.

When Hu Chong heard this, he coldly snorted and did not continue asking. Instead, he became silent.

"Tsk tsk, good tea. Big families are indeed different. The food that is given to guests is indeed good." Ling Xiao did not continue speaking, but instead started sipping his tea, and from time to time, some words of praise popped out. He did not even care that there was another person present.

The more time passed, the more Hu Chong felt uncomfortable. On the contrary, Ling Xiao was still as indifferent as before, not showing any signs of being unwell.

Just when Hu Chong felt extremely embarrassed and was about to get up to take a breath of fresh air, he heard the sound of a teacup being placed down.

"Whap." Ling Xiao put down the teacup and sat himself upright, then looked at Hu Chong.

Facing Ling Xiao's gaze, Hu Chong no longer had any thoughts of leaving.

"Actually, you didn't want to come, right?" Ling Xiao smiled.

It made Hu Chong feel very uncomfortable looking at Ling Xiao's smile, as if all of his actions and thoughts would be completely seen through by Ling Xiao.

"These wounds of mine were caused by you." Hu Chong didn't want to admit it, but it was the truth.

"Everyone has their own stand. You have yours, so naturally, I have mine. Besides, I have never been a person who likes to cause trouble. What do you think?" Ling Xiao leaned on the chair, and said indifferently.

Linghu Chong did not reply. After a while, he said, "I can't win against you. This isn't my forte."

"That doesn't matter. Since you've come, it means that your heart wants to be cured. I will naturally keep my promise. As for what you think of me, I don't care." Ling Xiao said in a slightly serious tone.

Seeing Ling Xiao's serious expression, Hu Chong knew that this was not a joke and clenched his fists tightly. He thought to himself that he was still looked down upon by Ling Xiao like this.

With regards to Hu Chong's feelings, they were also under Ling Xiao's control. Although Hu Chong hated Ling Xiao to the core, Ling Xiao had a way to make Hu Chong feel even more grateful to him.

Humans were like this. Once help was greater than hatred, they would not be able to hate it and would instead be in debt.

"According to Old Man Green Bamboo, you have found a way to help you recover and raise your cultivation, but because of the limitations of your abilities, it was not possible to implement it." Ling Xiao said.

Hearing this, Hu Chong took a deep breath and temporarily let go of the hatred in his heart, trying his best to restore his emotions to normal.

Then he nodded and replied, "Yes, it's a book on music, but I can't read it."

"Where is the book?" Ling Xiao asked.

"It doesn't belong to me. It belongs to someone else." Linghu Chong replied.

Ling Xiao smiled faintly and said: "Aunt of Green Bamboo, right?"

Hu Chong was once again astonished and was unable to speak. After a long time, he finally reacted and said in disbelief, "How do you know this person? She is hidden deep in the mountains and forests, deeper than my Master. "

"Hehe, the reason an otherworldly expert is called otherworldly is because they don't involve the secular world. But what the hell do you know is that since he lives in this world, he naturally has connections with the secular world. No matter how mysterious he is, people will have their own rumors and stories about him. Ling Xiao said with a smile.
