Chapter 316: Molten Metal Cave
Xiao Xian waited anxiously in the hall, unable to calm his nerves. He fidgeted with the jade cup on the table, constantly changing his posture.
After a long while, a clamor of footsteps echoed from outside the courtyard. Xiao Xian, who had been slumping in his seat, immediately straightened up, his anxiety increasing even more. He heard a flattering voice from outside.
"Young Master Guitu, my master is currently on the mountain discussing important matters with his clan brothers... Please, wait a moment..."
"No problem."
The voice was mature and steady, but it struck Xiao Xian like a bolt of lightning. His mind went blank, with only one thought reverberating in his mind.
Xiao Guitu... what is he doing here?
In just an instant, a young man entered the courtyard. He had broad shoulders and a robust build, exuding a majestic aura. The intricate runes on his armor glowed with mana light, indicating his status as an important figure in the immortal clan.
Xiao Xian dared not be negligent. He quickly adjusted his robes and bowed deeply, greeting respectfully, "Xiao Xian of Mount Yu branch greets the young master!"
This man was indeed Xiao Guitu, now at the third heavenly layer of the Qi Cultivation Realm, the elder brother of Xiao Guiluan and the most outstanding figure of his generation in the Xiao Family. As the head of the main branch of the Xiao Family, Xiao Guitu's presence commanded great respect. Xiao Xian did not dare to be negligent and immediately showed the proper deference.
