Chapter 78

Opportunity.

You XiaoMo is still asleep when*peng*the door is kicked open.

By the time he climbs out of the quilt in fright, in a daze, he sees a strong and swarthy middle aged man with a black beard stride into the room like a meteor cutting through no man’s land.

“May I ask who you ……. ”

“Are you that You XiaoMo?”

Before You XiaoMo could finish his question, the middle aged man reaches out and grips the collar on his chest, pulling him up, saying in a coarse voice like dull thunder in winter, somewhat grating to listen to.

Just waking up, his mind still in a daze, You XiaoMo’s reaction is off by half a beat, simply nodding his head.

Elder Xiao sees his weak reaction and knows that he is no threat. He laughs coldly, “Let me ask you, yesterday from the Xu period to the Hai period, who were you with and what were you doing?”

“You ……. I can’t breathe.”

You XiaoMo’s face is bright red. This person’s strength is too much. He almost can no longer breathe before Elder Xiao snorts and lets him go.

Speaking of Elder Xiao, his full name is Xiao Shan, someone that is quite deserving of mention in TianXin sect.

Xiao Shan’s has a very short fuse. His ‘regards everyone beneath him’ attitude is even worse than Lei Ju. When he speaks, he often carelessly offends people. The reason why he can carry on merrily until now is because he has a good master. His master is the junior brother of Tang Fan’s master. The seniors are not people that even Tang Fan dares to offend.

The presence of this important backer is also why Lei Ju dares to oppose Ling Xiao. Now that Ling Xiao is listed as one of the suspects, Xiao Shan of course will not let go of this opportunity.

You XiaoMo coughs drily a few times and hears the person next to him repeat his question impatiently. Only then does he remember that he just asked him a question. Actually, when Ling Xiao was called away earlier, he vaguely remembers that it seemed to be related to the matter with Elder Jiang. But they concealed tightly what they did yesterday so if Ling Xiao doesn’t reveal it to them, these people should not know that he has something to do to with Elder Jiang’s situation.

Ling Xiao just left for over half an hour and already this person is here looking for him. So it’s very likely that Ling Xiao told them about him.

Although he and Ling Xiao did not discuss this beforehand, You XiaoMo is still not that stupid to reveal any weak points to him. Thinking of what they usually do, he simply says, “I was with Elder brother Ling yesterday. I was refining magic pills. He was meditating.”

This was what they did the night before. He guesses that Ling Xiao must have said the same thing.

Xiao Shan’s expression is unreadable as he looks at him with a piercing look, as if trying to see if he is lying. In the end, he fails to detect it and sneers coldly, turning around, “Come with me.”

You XiaoMo heaves a sigh of relief when he turns around. He quickly takes a set of clothes from the wardrobe and puts it on while walking. By the time they reach the Great Hall, he is properly dressed.

He gingerly follows Xiao Shan inside. You XiaoMo steals a look around and sees Ling Xiao as is expected. He carefully observes his expression. It is still the usual slightly smiling mask. Looks like he still hasn’t been found out.

“Grand Master, I have brought You XiaoMo.”

After saying this, Xiao Shan returns to his seat.

You XiaoMo then notices that Jiang Liu is also in the Great Hall. It’s just that his head is looking downwards so his expression is unclear. He seems to have also just arrived but he doesn’t know why he was called here.

“You XiaoMo, your Elder brother Lin said that you were with him the whole of last night. Is this the case?”

Seeing that everyone has arrived, Tang Fan at the head seat starts with the questions. His voice seems remote and indifferent but still maintains its majesty. He is clearly speaking in a measured tone but to You XiaoMo’s ears, it feels like it could shock the deaf.

You XiaoMo immediately cups his hands and says, “Replying to Grand Master, I was indeed with Elder brother Lin last night.”

“Oh, what were the both of you doing last night?”

Tang Fan’s voice is flat, not revealing any of his thoughts.

“Replying to Grand Master, yesterday your disciple was refining magic pills. Elder brother Lin was meditating.”

You XiaoMo repeats what he said to Xiao Shan. This time he speaks with more confidence because if something is wrong, Ling Xiao would have certainly found a way to let him know.

“All the way here and you’re still working so hard. No wonder Junior brother Kong took you as a disciple. Not bad. What magic pills did you refine yesterday, bring them out and let me see.”

Tang Fan’s serious expression abruptly reveals a light smile as if he is an amiable elderly fellow.

“Yes, Grand Master!”

You XiaoMo’s heart suddenly gets cold but he doesn’t dare to show it. Then he somewhat nervously takes out a white bottle from his magic bag and respectfully brings it forward and hands it to him.

Tang Fan takes the bottle, opens the stopper and pours out a magic pill. The medicinal fragrance is not very strong. It’s an ordinary level one Fasting magic pill. Definitely nothing special about it. After a rough glance, he puts it back, “Not bad, keep working hard. Strive to be an outstanding mage so you can be of service to TianXin sect. Step down
