"Indeed." Li Xiao nodded in agreement. This was not the first time he had witnessed Painter's power.
Bai Ye asked, "By the way, why didn't you stay at Night Owl headquarters? Why did you come all the way to the Southern Border?"
"Because of Shadow Hand." A trace of pride flashed across Li Xiao's face. "He knew how powerful I was, so he had been deliberately targeting me."
Bai Ye took it as bullshit and ignored him.
Li Xiao continued, "He had False History latch onto me. If I stayed at Night Owl headquarters, I would definitely implicate others, so I came to the Southern Border to establish a branch."
"Besides, that lonely old man had a strange temperament and refused to submit to anyone. Staying at headquarters would have made him an unstable factor, so I left."
Bai Ye thought, That's the real reason, isn't it? After all, you couldn't make any decisions there, and your daily recreation time was pitifully short.
Li Xiao added, "When Shadow Hand saw that I had come to the Southern Border, he followed me here as well."
"Heh, although his methods were despicable, I had to admit that he had sharp judgment. At a glance, he saw that I was their greatest threat."
"He chased me across thousands of miles just to target me."
Bai Ye frowned slightly. He had chased Li Xiao to the Southern Border?
"Did you fight Shadow Hand?"
"Fight?" Li Xiao sneered. "That would require him to dare show up. Aside from using some despicable tricks, he simply didn't dare face me directly."
This only made Bai Ye more confused. Qin Mingshen had personally admitted that, in his current state, he could not defeat the first four Hands, including Shadow Hand. Li Xiao was even less worth mentioning.
