Gu and Jiang Anbo had just exchanged a few words when they happened to notice a rather eye-catching young master who had just entered on the third floor. It seemed he was looking for a place with a window to sit, as there were no private rooms on the third floor of Sky's End Tower. Everyone was mingling together, the aroma of food mixing with various scents of alcohol, and those on the third floor generally preferred to find a breezy spot to stroll around.
"Is that the one I pointed out earlier? Do I know him?"
Gu Xiao smiled, gently stroking Yoyo, the little fox cradled in Yi Dong's arms. Others found it curious that such a big man was holding such a small and delicate fox; they couldn't help but wonder if something was amiss.
Bu Luo knew from his hidden informants that the little fox Gu was holding was quite special, rumored to be a Pure Fox. Jiang Anbo recalled that during those two months of escape, Gu had once lain on the back of a massive Fox Spirit. He estimated that if that Fox Spirit had opened its enormous mouth, it could have easily bitten off his head. Thus, Jiang Anbo began to suspect that the little fox in Gu's arms might indeed be the legendary Pure Fox.
The disciples of Xu Zhu Courtyard and Tai Xu Dao Men were not as overbearing as those from Jade Void Sect, but their strength was certainly not to be underestimated when compared to Jade Void Sect.
It seemed I was mistaken about how well-informed they were.
Someone was secretly investigating behind the scenes. The Two Lists—had they given me any information? I should take a closer look.
Oh, is that person from the Two Lists?
No way! Zhu Lan, ranked thirty-fourth on the Earth Ranking, with Golden Core Mid-Stage cultivation, plus wielding a magical artifact from Xu Zhu Di—he could kill without leaving a trace.
Who would be stronger between him and me?
Of course, it would be him.
Puhahaha!
I couldn't help but laugh as Jiang Anbo's words were completely drowned out by Bei Qin's laughter, which echoed so clearly that even Lou Dong could probably hear it.
It was a violation of decorum, hmph.
Nearby, someone was secretly mocking Gu for his lack of manners, and some even boasted about wanting to drive him out of the building. As representatives of the righteous sect, the disciples of Xu Zhu Courtyard naturally sought to punish the wicked and promote virtue, and it would conveniently free up a spot.
What could that Brother be laughing about so heartily?
I said, "Ah, him! Haha!" Gu held a wine bottle, one leg draped over Zhu Lan's shoulder, taking a big swig of wine. He continued, "He told me that his brother thinks I don't deny his mistakes. He doesn't believe it and wants to challenge me, haha!"
"Oh? Does Brother know who he is to boast so boldly?"
Gu patted Zhu Lan on the shoulder. "Isn't he ranked thirty-fourth in Earth Ranking? Zhu Lan, am I wrong? Although his brother isn't on any Heavenly or Earth Ranking, don't underestimate him. His swordsmanship is extraordinary. He just laughs at him for being overconfident and insists on competing with him. I wonder if it's funny, haha."
Speaking of which, a whole jug of Bei Qin wine had been consumed. It was clear that those seated around were not frequent drinkers. At this moment, Gu was holding a rare Qionghua wine; any cultivator would be thrilled to have a taste. Who could drink like Gu Na, downing an entire jug? For a moment, no one knew whether to speak up or remain silent.
"Oh, since that Brother is so confident, why not head to the Grand Arena outside Universe Hall and test your skills?"
Go on! I refuse to back down; I'm no coward! Hahaha!
Jiang Anbo's mouth twitched uncontrollably. Others thought he must be drunk, but Jiang Anbo knew that Yan Dong and the others were definitely putting on an act, deliberately engaging with Zhu Lan to gauge Yi Dong's Earth Ranking High Leg strength.
So pretentious! Can't they tone it down a bit?
Tone it down? Don't you know that the most dangerous places are often the safest? Ru Ming suddenly appeared in everyone's sight. The higher the profile, the more attention he attracted, making him safer. After all, no one would associate him with Gu—two individuals with completely opposite Spiritual Energy attributes—would they?
One wore a bitter smile while the other feigned drunkenness but secretly transmitted messages to Mistake, quietly discussing how to safely navigate the remaining time after the Sky East Tournament arrived.
"Hey, what kind of place is the Grand Arena?"
Gu Yi's face was flushed, and with his rosy cheeks and the smell of alcohol surrounding him, he looked like a true brother as he slung his arm around Zhu Lan's shoulders. Anyone who didn’t know them would think they were actual siblings.
They thought they were some big shots, but here they were, acting like country bumpkins. Did they really not know how formidable the Two Lists cultivators were?
If the Money Tower revised the Two Lists and made a mistake, it wouldn’t be something that could be solved with money. Bu Luo was quick; soon enough, they'd see how those two bumpkins would fare.
Just wait and see; Zhu Lan would definitely teach them a harsh lesson.
Listening to those words, Gu became even more reckless, pointing at Jiang Anbo and cursing, "Did you see that? Everyone thinks I'm just asking for trouble. If you don’t think you’re in the wrong, then hurry up and admit defeat. You might as well get ready to change Yi Dong's diapers! Did you hear that? Ha ha!"
Jiang Anbo knew Gu was deliberately trying to provoke him. It puzzled him; where had that calm and composed Gu gone? If he wanted to show off, he shouldn’t drag him into it. After all, Light Path Classic had something to gain from Gu, and if he wanted The Book of Radiant Path from Gu’s leg, Jiang Anbo would have long since made a move. Even if he knew it would annoy Bu Luo, he still found it disgusting.
"Who has a brother like me?" Hmph.
Jiang Anbo pointed at Gu but could only utter that one line. He had been raised well and couldn’t even muster a proper retort.
"Are we really good brothers?"
