Chapter 516 - 331 Steadfast Friendship
...
As Yan Xiaobao entered the room, the man who was seated lifted his head. When his eyes landed on the alert young man, his face bloomed into a radiant smile.
The man in the room, much like Deng Wu, was also young—twenty years old, maybe. His face was strikingly handsome. His long black hair was bound by intricately crafted white jade ornaments, his skin was as pure as fresh snow, and his eyes reminded one of a beautiful Phoenix—black like the midnight sky without moonlight.
This handsome man was smiling as he conversed with Deng Wu and Xu Biao, but as Yan Xiaobao walked through the doorway, his smile gradually widened.
"Hello!" he called out. "My name is Zhong Hui. I apologize for interrupting you and your companions, but I was alone, and noticing someone next door, how could I resist paying a visit?"
It was the same friendliness he always showed. Although he appeared sincere, the more Zhong Hui spoke, the more an unsettling feeling crept into Yan Xiaobao’s heart.
Yan Xiaobao kept smiling as he walked further into the room, yet every step he took was measured. Inside, every fiber of his being screamed that something was off.
The man seemed like a young master from a distinguished family. His attire and jewelry were of the finest quality, his face looked innocent, yet it was evident that he was accustomed to things always going his way.
Yan Xiaobao couldn’t fathom why this man had entered their home, but he was certain it wasn’t just out of neighborly curiosity.
What concerned Yan Xiaobao was that this young man might have come specifically to keep an eye on him. It was obvious he suspected Yan Xiaobao of possibly killing two high-ranking experts. This was the only plausible assumption, as nothing had happened after their deaths—except for the appearance of this young man.
Everything suggested he was no ordinary individual. The white-haired young man casually sat down beside Deng Wu. He smiled politely at the newcomer and nodded, thinking his best course of action was to cultivate. If he convinced the Dragon Army that he was a Master-level expert, the theory that he was the attacker would inevitably collapse.
