NOVEL NEXT Chapter 311: Exposed 1
"That tone and this style of doing things…" Xiao Weimin muttered and subconsciously frowned.
[What's wrong?] Zhu Huang transmitted.
[That old man reminds me of Shen Xu.]
Zhu Huang burst into laughter when he heard this.
After all, Shen Xu had a petite frame, fiery aura, and most importantly, was extremely beautiful.
Hearing that an old man reminded Xiao Weimin of Shen Xu was simultaneously incredible and hilarious.
However, after having a good laugh, he tilted his head in curiosity.
[Why?] He asked.
[Do you remember the first competition after Shen Xu joined the Divine Rainbow Academy?] Xiao Weimin asked.
[I remember, but why…] Zhu Huang starte,d but suddenly stopped.
A moment later, he turned to the old man and narrowed his eyes.
[The way the old man is challenging senior Cai is the same way Shen Xu treated Dongfang Jing. That reckless attitude is a bit…]
[Exactly.] Xiao Weimin said and quickly continued.
[Although his hood is down and we can see his face, there is no guarantee that is his real face.]
[Let me check.] Zhu Huang said and prompted the system.
Ten breaths later, his eyes widened and his hands clenched into fists.
[It's Shen Xu.] He said in a bitter voice.
His cannon-fodder counterattack system had undergone five upgrades in the past several hundred years.
As a result, Zhu Huang could access more information and benefits, but some things were still beyond his reach.
After investigating the old man, the system uncovered his real identity.
Unfortunately, the accompanying information was as pitiful as the first time Zhu Huang used the system to investigate Shen Xu and Zhen Yuan.
Name: Shen Xu
Age: 774
Mother: Bai Xue
Brother: Bai Guo
'This again!' He cursed and asked the system to investigate the people around Shen Xu.
Name: Yang Shi
Age: 758
Name: Feng Xue
Age: 876,606
Name: Li Wenqiang
Age: 532
Zhu Huang almost spat blood when he saw the investigation reports.
'Why is it like this?' He wondered.
He thought Shen Xu was strange, but the new three were even more so and didn't even have parents or siblings.
'Why has Li Wenqiang become like this? Didn't he use to be an ordinary cultivator?' He wondered and subconsciously frowned.
[System, what's going on with Li Wenqiang?] He asked.
[I am not sure but…]
[But?]
[He may be a ghost cultivator.]
Zhu Huang narrowed his eyes when he heard this.
There were no ghost cultivators in the cultivation world, but Zhu Huang knew about them from the system.
Hearing that Li Wenqiang may have become a ghost cultivator, Zhu Huang couldn't help but wonder if he had encountered an opportunity from the immortal realm.
However, he soon suppressed his thoughts and shifted his attention to the disguised Zhen Yuan.
As before, the system had nothing on Zhen Yuan.
No name, no age, no family lineage, no spiritual root information, no cultivation realm information…
As far as the system was concerned, the man didn't exist or existed in a form that it couldn't detect.
Thinking of this, Zhu Huang sighed and shook his head.
[System, his revealed cultivation is the mid-stage of the fusion realm. Do you think it's real?] He asked.
[It's easy to suppress the cultivation realm, but difficult to raise it above the true level. His revealed cultivation realm should be real, but we won't know for sure unless he fights.]
[Fusion realm…., how is that possible?] Zhu Huang couldn't help but frown.
After all, even with a system, it took all he had to advance to the void refining realm at his age.
Thinking of age, Zhu Huang suddenly frowned.
Shen Xu was younger than him, but his revealed cultivation was the peak stage of the void refining realm.
'Do they have a secret, or did they encounter a heaven-defying opportunity?' He wondered, but soon turned to Feng Xue.
From the system report, Feng Xue was more than eight hundred thousand years old.
However, Mahayana realm cultivators only had a lifespan of five hundred thousand years.
'Could she be a tribulation transcending realm cultivator?' Zhu Huang wondered with a solemn expression.
'Why is a tribulation transcending realm cultivator in the Tianqi continent, and what is her connection to Shen Xu and Zhen Yuan?'
At a loss, Zhu Huang turned to Bai Guo.
It had been more than seven hundred years since he learned that Shen Xu and Bai Guo were brothers.
However, Zhu Huang never revealed this information to anyone, including Xiao Weimin.
Looking at Bai Guo, Zhu Huang wondered if he should say something.
After all, he had always been looking for an opportunity to get close to Zhen Yuan.
Wouldn't revealing the truth about Shen Xu and Bai Guo be such an opportunity?
Thinking of this, Zhu Huang narrowed his eyes with a thoughtful expression.
[What are you thinking?] Xiao Weimin asked.
Hearing the question, Zhu Huang turned to Xiao Weimin and raised an eyebrow.
[Weimin, are you still thinking of Shen Xu?] He asked, and Xiao Weimin subconsciously clenched his hands into fists.
Shen Xu was always a touchy subject.
In his previous life, Shen Xu was always with him and didn't die until right before Xiao Weimin was reborn.
Considering this, Xiao Weimin always felt his rebirth had something to do with Shen Xu's death.
Also, although he had never liked Shen Xu in his previous life, he considered the double as his and couldn't tolerate him being with another man.
Most importantly, since his rebirth, his feelings for Shen Xu had slowly changed.
At first, he only felt possessive and wanted to bring the double to his side.
Later, possessiveness turned to hatred, and he even wanted to kill Shen Xu for choosing another man, but now, hatred had given way to longing.
Although he was loath to admit it, Xiao Weimin longed for Shen Xu and frequently thought of him.
At this time, he looked at Shen Xu, disguised as an old man, and his eyes softened.
[I want him.] He said.
[In that case….] Zhu Huang smiled and began telling a tale of two brothers.
