Sikong Jing's heart gave a violent jolt, but the killing intent immediately vanished again like flowing water.
The gazes throughout the tavern remained fixed on the three of them.
When they saw the scales covering Sikong Jing's body, they naturally dismissed him with barely a thought. Their eyes fell on Feng Shixian and Master Xie instead. Though Feng Shixian gave off no aura, he appeared to be an ordinary human, which still drew attention.
As for Master Xie... Bang!
Someone quickly rose to his feet and cried in delight, "Isn't this Master Xie? You've returned to Cloud Burial City too?"
At his words, everyone in the tavern revealed surprised expressions.
They soon stopped caring about Feng Shixian's appearance as an ordinary human. With Master Xie present, anything was possible.
It was hardly strange for an ordinary human to enter Cloud Burial City under Master Xie's hand.
Then...
Quite a few more people rose and went to greet Master Xie, all clamoring to treat him to drinks. Master Xie naturally looked toward Sikong Jing. After the latter gave a slight nod, he burst into laughter and went to meet them.
Before long, Master Xie was chatting with several people in the tavern.
Naturally, he introduced Sikong Jing and Feng Shixian as being from Revival Hall.
No one paid them any further mind.
The tavern became lively again as Master Xie began chatting freely with everyone.
Someone asked Master Xie whether he had not been inside the Xiao Luo Divine Sect. Master Xie answered that he had secretly slipped out.
"By the way, everyone, is that rumor true?" Master Xie suddenly asked.
The crowd immediately began discussing it heatedly again...
"No one knows where the rumor came from. Some say it was spread by Purple Dust Pavilion, but it's hard to say."
