After more than a hundred years apart, Xiao Moshan's hair had turned gray, his body had become stooped, and his face was covered in wrinkles.
Only the faint remnant of sharpness between his brows vaguely recalled the bearing of the Shadowless Blade from years past.
"Boss, Senior Jing, you are... Lao Ben?"
Bentley shook his head speechlessly. "How fucking old are you? You're decades younger than me, aren't you? How did you end up like this?"
"Ah, don't mention it." Xiao Moshan sighed and shook his head helplessly. "Xiao Qin is gone!"
Back then, he had remained in the Empire because he wanted to accompany Xiao Qin through her final days.
Xiao Qin had come from Garbage Star, but in Central City, her status had been quite high, second only to Canyon and the base.
Bentley and Xiao Qin had once been imprisoned together. It would have been a lie to say they were unfamiliar with each other.
When the team headed into the void, Xiao Qin was already rather old. Her chances of breaking through to Above Supreme had been minuscule.
But Xiao Moshan had insisted on staying with her while also helping the team watch over Black Colt Tower. No one could persuade him otherwise.
One had to know that when they had left Garbage Star back then, Xiao Moshan had stubbornly insisted on leaving the team and returning to the military. He was a man with an Obsession.
At the time, Bentley had nearly killed him to eliminate future trouble, but in the end, he had still given him an escape pod.
Those were all matters of the past and needed no further mention. Now it seemed clear that Xiao Qin had failed in her attempt to reach the Golden Core Realm and died of old age.
