The trick that Master Ren taught Chen Zhou worked. Everyone present changed their expressions and no longer had the interrogative tone they used before.
"Xi Xiangchen!"
Qianwei, who was usually not very talkative, was the first to speak out of the three, because he was the most shocked.
All three of them knew very well who Ji Ren Xi Xiang Chen was. He was the savior of the three Wolong sects, who not only saved the three sects but also helped them get to where they are today.
Chen Zhou stared blankly at the three men's drastically changed expressions. He had never heard of this name before, and naturally had no idea what it meant to them.
So Chen Zhou could only awkwardly ask Elder Ren, "What's wrong with them? Why are they all looking at me like that? They're not even asking me any questions."
The old man said shrewdly, "I would be puzzled if they didn't react this way upon hearing this name."
Hearing what Elder Ren said, Chen Zhou became even more curious. Who exactly was this person nicknamed Extreme Blade, named Xi Xiangchen? Could it be that this person was Elder Ren's previous host? That is, the previous owner of the Heavy Edge Sword? No! Before he used it, the Heavy Edge Sword was a divine sword called Six Ren Extreme Blade!
That's why Xi Xiangchen has the nickname "Extreme Blade," and Chen Zhou suddenly understood.
"Was Xi Xiangchen your previous master?" Chen Zhou asked Ren Lao immediately after thinking about it, trying to get more information about Xi Xiangchen from Ren Lao.
Upon hearing Chen Zhou's question, Elder Ren did not answer directly but remained silent, showing no intention of explaining further to Chen Zhou. This attitude only confirmed Chen Zhou's suspicions.
"Are you really Lord Xi Xiangchen's disciple?" Su Feng asked slowly.
Su Feng was the first to recover from his shock and asked a question. This question immediately calmed Qian Wei and Wo Yuan down, and they looked at Chen Zhou again.
"Indeed, to be honest. My master gave me a mission: to come to the Wolong Mountain area and check on the current situation of the three Wolong sects. My master taught me the dragon pattern because my main cultivation technique is a dragon-attribute technique, which is why my master had me learn the dragon pattern," Chen Zhou said slowly.
"What?! Lord Xi Xiangchen is still alive?!" Qian Wei immediately became excited, his expression extremely agitated. He placed his hands on Chen Zhou's shoulders and looked at Chen Zhou excitedly as he spoke.
Chen Zhou had just told a lie on the spot, never expecting things to develop this way. Just who exactly is Xi Xiangchen? Why are the three of them so agitated?
“Of course your master is alive and well. Why are you saying such unlucky things?” Chen Zhou immediately said, ready to get to the bottom of things. Since he had already spoken so eloquently, he couldn’t reveal his true intentions now.
"I'm sorry! I misspoke! May I ask where Lord Xi Xiangchen is now? I want to see him right now! Please take me there!" Qian Wei said quickly, unable to contain his excitement.
Chen Zhou was speechless for a moment.
Immediately afterwards, Su Feng and Wo Yuan also clasped their fists at Chen Zhou and said in unison, "We also request that you take us to see Lord Xi Xiangchen!"
Chen Zhou was completely dumbfounded.
What's going on?
The three men's attitudes suddenly reversed completely. How could he know where he was? So Chen Zhou couldn't possibly give an exact location. Chen Zhou had already mentally prepared his answer.
“My master has long been in seclusion and has not seen anyone. I received his order, but it was only a verbal command; I did not actually meet him in person. Therefore, it is impossible for me to take you to see them,” Chen Zhou said, feigning profundity.
This was undoubtedly like a bucket of cold water poured over the heads of the three of them.
"Was that great battle truly too damaging to you, sir? You are still unwilling to return to the mainland. It seems that we, the three factions of Wolong, underestimated your injuries. We feel truly guilty! It was wrong of us to doubt your disciple so much today!"
Su Feng murmured, saying that although he had never met Lord Xi Xiangchen, his parents had taught him about his deeds since childhood. Almost everyone in the three sects of Wolong knew about Lord Xi Xiangchen.
Although the Wolong Sect and the Sulong Sect have always been at odds, their cultures are extremely similar. For example, in spreading the story of Xi Xiangchen, the two sects are on the same side.
“My master has been seriously injured and has never seen anyone. His guidance to me was always written on slips of paper and passed to me. So I rarely see him. Not to mention you all,” Chen Zhou said slowly, his face full of regret.
All three of them were deceived by Chen Zhou.
It can only be said that none of the three had ever met Lord Xi Xiangchen, so they were not very clear about some aspects of him. If someone who had met and knew Xi Xiangchen were standing in front of Chen Zhou, Chen Zhou would probably be exposed very quickly.
Chen Zhou couldn't answer any of the questions asked about Xi Xiangchen.
Fortunately, the three of them didn't know much about Xi Xiangchen. All they knew about him were stories of his heroic deeds told to them by others, so they didn't really know Xi Xiangchen as a person, only his deeds.
"I see. Then please come into our Hidden Dragon Sect. I apologize for what happened earlier." Qianwei suddenly bowed and said in a very amiable tone.
Chen Zhou nodded casually, saying nothing more, and followed Su Feng and Wo Yuan inside. It wasn't that Chen Zhou didn't want to respond, but rather that he now had a new identity that absolutely couldn't be revealed. If it were, he certainly wouldn't have the trust of the three of them anymore. His repeated deceptions would undoubtedly incur the wrath of Su Feng and Wo Yuan.
