Chapter 519: Chapter 332: Frozen Brigade_2
Today is the last day before the giant rescue begins, and Yan Xiaobao decides to go shopping in the gigantic Dragon Core. He asks his friends to join him, but Sha Yun and Wang Julong both refuse because they are training as hard as they can. They both feel they are far behind in their cultivation.
Honestly, compared to Yan Xiaobao and Deng Wu, they are not too far behind, as they both possess the souls of Divine Beasts.
Remarkably, Yan Xiaobao does nothing to persuade them to join him. He truly admires their dedication to training. With a smile, he heads out with Deng Wu, Xu Biao, and Xie Lan, only to notice their strange neighbor waiting for them.
Seeing this man, Yan Xiaobao stares at the young man, recalling the previous night, his eyes narrowing. He wonders if this young man has been standing there, waiting for the group to leave together.
Although Xu Yue quietly thinks about the encounter the previous night, Xu Hui and Zhong Hui have already started chatting, and Yan Xiaobao is in contemplation. Before he can decline, the two King Ranking Experts have already invited Zhong Hui to join their shopping spree.
Looking at Zhong Hui, Yan Xiaobao doesn’t know why he makes him so uncomfortable. From the start, he noticed that Zhong Hui was not merely a simple Master-level cultivator; he seemed like a pampered young master who does nothing himself.
Even after asking Lan Feng, the Phoenix knew nothing about him. If anyone asked him, this young stranger had nothing to worry about.
Zhong Hui chatted with Xu Biao for a while, then moved beside Yan Xiaobao, starting to talk about the interesting things they both saw the previous night.
Yan Xiaobao said nothing, as the man beside him kept discussing the weather, the Dragon Core, and his family, but whatever he said, Yan Xiaobao didn’t react. As they left the headquarters and traversed the city, he constantly looked around, moving towards one of the nearest markets.
Zhong Hui sighed deeply, a flash of annoyance in his eyes quickly replaced by amusement.
"You know," he suddenly whispered, though Yan Xiaobao didn’t want to listen to the young man, he couldn’t ignore his words, "do you know I’m actually not from this cave?" he asked, his eyes growing lighter, the smile on his face widening.
"The truth is, I actually come from above this world!" he said, and as he spoke, as he looked at the young man beside him, Yan Xiaobao squinted. Yan Xiaobao had completely ignored him before, however, now Zhong Hui completely ignored Yan Xiaobao.
Yan Xiaobao felt a shiver down his spine, a feeling of fear beginning to surface within him. Because this seemingly carefree young man frightened him by choosing those words, but Yan Xiaobao felt it was to mock him. If he was right then, the young man knew they came from this world, and he had done a lot to stay hidden.
"I’m from this world, I used to live in a city called Liluo City," he continued, and the more he spoke, the larger Yan Xiaobao’s heart became.
Yan Xiaobao previously thought he was merely mocking him, but the man in front of him was trying to get Yan Xiaobao’s attention, it was no longer subtle. For him to have such knowledge, it was clear he wasn’t an ordinary young master from some renowned family, not even from a family above ground; his understanding of Yan Xiaobao was too accurate.
When he heard these words, Deng Wu stood by his side as if struck by lightning, even Xu Biao and Xie Lan were shocked to hear him say he was from above the world so casually.
"Who are you?" Yan Xiaobao asked in a low voice, his eyes narrowing. His breathing was again controlled, as his heart beat rapidly. He was currently waiting for Lan Feng’s response, both human and phoenix were shocked by what this young man had said.
If he simply said he was from above the world, it could easily be dismissed, however, claiming to be from Liluo City, Yan Xiaobao immediately understood that this person knew who Yan Xiaobao was well, which made him very anxious.
"Me? I’ve already told you, I am Zhong Hui." he replied, "You don’t know how amazing Zhong Hui is, that’s not my fault." he joked, but beneath the playful words, a serious tone was floating, creeping into Yan Xiaobao’s consciousness.
Yan Xiaobao finally realized that by not reading experts worldwide, he made a significant mistake. Thinking that young-looking man was a supreme expert made him uncomfortable.
Knowing the man beside him could conceal his cultivation base meant he was even superior to Lan Feng, which made Yan Xiaobao very uneasy. Not only Yan Xiaobao, but also Lan Feng was overwhelmed by a sense of crisis and danger, as they all became very alert when they looked at the young man in front of them.
Seeing their discomfort, Zhong Hui finally felt somewhat satisfied after being ignored for so long, a hint of a smile appearing on his face, "As long as you don’t cause too much chaos with laws of energy, I can guarantee your safety." he said with a smile, "I can even take you out of this wretched place."
Looking at this young man, Yan Xiaobao wished he could disappear without a trace, and upon hearing his words, his eyes filled with vigilance.
