Hua Yunfei nodded slightly at that. So Dao Wushuang really had left for the time being, which explained why he hadn't appeared in so long.
After Xia Yun had fought in his place last time, it turned out that Dao Wushuang had deliberately tested him before leaving. It had also satisfied his curiosity.
The battle had seemed to end in Dao Wushuang's defeat, but Hua Yunfei didn't believe he had truly been unable to fight on. He hadn't been injured, and he'd spoken with such ease. It was obvious he was still holding back.
The reason Hua Yunfei had always considered Dao Wushuang his strongest rival was that he couldn't see through the man's true strength.
Dao Wushuang was always so carefree and easygoing. He seemed to care about everything, yet also as if he cared about nothing. Though he'd clearly guessed they might become mortal enemies, he was still willing to befriend Hua Yunfei and share fine wine with him.
He really was an unusual person.
"Have you met Dao Wushuang, fellow cultivator?" Zhou Yan asked Hua Yunfei.
"I was fortunate enough to meet him once." Hua Yunfei nodded.
"Then you must not be an ordinary person either." Zhou Yan grinned as he looked Hua Yunfei up and down. "Could you be a powerhouse like Fellow Daoist Nether Son?"
"How could that be?" Hua Yunfei laughed.
"Speaking of Dao Wushuang, since he's left, what about his followers? Did any of them come this time?" Nether Son looked at Zhou Yan.
"Quite a few people have come from the Tianluo Great World. Only some chose to stay in Luoxue Ancient City; most are hiding elsewhere. I can't confirm exactly who's arrived."
Zhou Yan continued, "But according to the heavenly secrets I divined, someone close to Dao Wushuang should be coming!"
