As the mist dissipated, a kind-looking old man appeared before Ye Bai, sitting cross-legged in front of him.
With white hair and eyebrows, the old man looked to be over a hundred years old, his face full of wrinkles that, from a distance, resembled cracks on ceramic.
"sit."
Huo Tianwang pointed to the opposite side, gesturing for Ye Bai to sit down.
Ye Bai also sat down obediently with his legs crossed.
"I am not able to stay awake for long each day."
As Huo Tianwang spoke, an antique wooden tea table appeared between the two of them, with two teacups and a pot of tea placed on it.
Huo Tianwang explained,
“When you came yesterday, I wasn’t quite sober and was afraid I might accidentally kill you, so I didn’t show myself.”
Ye Bai didn't know whether to laugh or cry for a moment, and said self-deprecatingly,
"Thank you for your trouble."
Are the strongest seed really so lacking in prestige?
Oh, it's Huo Tianwang from level 995! That's alright then!
King Huo spoke again.
"I have fought for a hundred years, slaying countless demons. I have never been inferior to anyone in my life, and I have no regrets."
If there's any regret, it's that I didn't get to see Xue Meng settle down and start a family; I fear I've failed his father's trust.
Huo Tianwang's words made Ye Bai's expression turn serious.
Generally speaking, such a dangerous statement indicates that Huo Tianwang is already prepared to die.
Ye Bai knew that Xue Meng's biological father had a close relationship with Huo Tianwang.
In Xue Meng's words, Huo Tianwang is not a godfather, but he is better than a godfather.
Upon careful consideration, his biological father is a supreme war god, his two adoptive fathers are both extremely powerful, he has a top-tier supreme war god protecting him, and there's a third father waiting to be claimed...
Xue Meng has truly stacked the second-generation buff to its maximum.
When it comes to sons, Ye Bai would call him the strongest!
"I have long since lost the obsession with fighting against the strongest seed."
"A man over a hundred years old, would he bully a child like you?"
When he was sober, Huo Tianwang was surprisingly reasonable and even refined and easy-going!
He continued,
"But there are two other things I can't let go of."
Ye Bai nodded in agreement.
"If you can't put it down, then don't. Please hold onto it for a while longer."
Huo Tianwang: ......
How could Ye Bai not understand the hidden meaning in Huo Tianwang's words?
This man is already determined to die and is on the verge of exploding.
If he could let go of these two things, then King Huo would truly be free of all attachments and could unleash a killing spree.
Huo Tianwang ignored Ye Bai's statement and continued speaking.
"The first thing is Xiao Jiu. He has been with me for so many years and has suffered a lot of grievances."
Having Xiao Jiu stay by Ying Jiu's side is not a long-term solution.
Please continue to support me in the future.
With that, King Huo bowed respectfully.
As Ye Bai returned the greeting, he tentatively asked,
"If I don't take care of it, will you wait a little longer?"
No, it won't.
Huo Tianwang shook his head.
“You wouldn’t do something like this to someone who is treated like a grandson by Ying Jiu.”
Or perhaps you're all all bark and no bite, just stubborn as mules.
Huo Tianwang saw things very clearly.
The relationship between Ying Jiu and Xiao Yao can be summed up in the simple words "master and disciple".
A disciple need not be inferior to his teacher.
Although Ying Jiu isn't very good at interpersonal relationships,
Xiaoyao is even more pathetic than Yingjiu, completely detached from worldly affairs.
With Ying Jiu leading the way, Xiaoyao is at least somewhat more down-to-earth.
The relationship between Shadow Nine and Shura is that of grandfather and grandson.
To put it nicely, they're birds of a feather; to put it bluntly, they're influenced by their surroundings.
However, it's hard to say who is truly more corrupt.
If Shura had even a fraction of Huo Tianwang's ruthlessness, Huo Tianwang wouldn't have allowed Shura to take care of Xiao Jiu.
After finishing the first matter, King Huo spoke again.
"The second thing that I can't let go of."
Throughout my life, I have been proficient in all eighteen weapons, including swords, spears, clubs, and knives, and my martial arts skills are unparalleled.
However, there is no true successor, which is somewhat regrettable.
Ye Bai raised an eyebrow slightly. Was this the prelude to forcibly take him as a disciple?
Huo Tianwang, no spice!
Ye Bai had already figured out how to resist.
Huo Tianwang's next words shattered Ye Bai's illusions.
"Your talent is mediocre, not worthy of me taking you as a disciple."
Ye Bai was silent for a few seconds before asking, "Then shall I leave?"
This is outrageous!
Huo Tianwang muttered to himself,
"Xue Meng is quite good. I originally planned to pass on all my martial arts skills to him."
Unfortunately, he initially learned to use a knife, but later abandoned the knife and learned to use a sword.
Of all the weapons and martial arts in the world, he had a better teacher for these two.
Ninth Master's knife, the sword that leaves no trace.
Huo Tianwang is convinced.
In terms of swords alone, Huo Tianwang is inferior to Lao Jiu.
That's why Huo Tianwang abandoned his sword and carved out a new world for himself with his fists.
Ye Bai never expected that Xue Meng would abandon the saber and learn the sword!
Is that why Da Mengzi is often chased and slashed by Master Jiu with a knife?
Given Ninth Master's magnanimity... this possibility cannot be ruled out!
Huo Tianwang changed the subject.
"Your talent must be related to your eyes, otherwise you wouldn't have been able to see Xiao Lan's talent awakening."
Ye Bai readily admitted it, nodding as he spoke.
"Indeed, you can see some strange things, but it's not very useful in normal times."
[Wait until the 95th floor, then you'll have your revenge!]
After the second awakening, the most disdainful eye wrote a prompt that was tough.
They even dared to threaten Ye Bai.
What is there to be afraid of about Ye Bai?
Huo Tianwang frankly stated,
"I would like to ask you for help to 'take a good look' at my kung fu skills."
