Huang Xuan looked at Hua Yunfei, completely bewildered. He didn't think he knew him.

"Senior, you..." Huang Xuan tentatively began.

However, before he could finish, the old man in the gray robe suddenly let out a low hum and said, "Huang Xuan has already agreed to join my Qiankun Grotto-Heaven. It's not right for you to interfere like this, is it?"

If he couldn't see through Hua Yunfei's strength, he wouldn't have bothered with so many words.

"It's indeed not right."

Hua Yunfei nodded and said, "But, so what?"

"You!"

The old man in the gray robe's face turned cold. This person was being rather unappreciative!

"How about this, let's make it fair. We'll let Huang Xuan choose for himself. If he chooses Qiankun Grotto-Heaven, I'll leave immediately, and I won't go back on my word."

Hua Yunfei wasn't being overly forceful.

"Good!"

The old man in the gray robe's expression softened. Since the other party was being reasonable, it would be easier to handle.

He looked at Huang Xuan and said, "Young friend, you've already nodded just now, so you've agreed to return to Qiankun Grotto-Heaven with this old man, right?"

"Here, I can guarantee that as long as you agree, after you join the sect, I will definitely prioritize resources towards you and cultivate you vigorously!"

Hearing this, Huang Xuan was tempted.

What he lacked most right now were cultivation resources. With resources, he could rise quickly.

He could also gain the strength to search for the Profound Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum faster!

At this moment, Hua Yunfei transmitted a message to Huang Xuan, saying only four words!

Instantly, Huang Xuan's eyes widened, and then he looked sharply at Hua Yunfei!

After a long silence, Huang Xuan looked at the old man in the gray robe and said, "I'm sorry, senior, but I am willing to leave with this senior. I am deeply grateful for Qiankun Grotto-Heaven's sincerity."

"Why? Didn't you just..."

The old man in the gray robe didn't believe him and wanted to ask further, but Hua Yunfei interrupted him, saying, "Now that Huang Xuan has made his choice, don't waste any more words. Hurry back and report to your superiors!"

"You!"

The old man in the gray robe's chest heaved, and he was so angry he almost attacked!

Damn it, the duck that was about to enter his mouth was gone just like that!

Who was this guy who suddenly appeared, and what method did he use for Huang Xuan to choose him without hesitation?

"This infuriates me!"

The old man in the gray robe flicked his sleeve, his face looking grim as he charged into the distance, leaving in anger.

If he stayed any longer, he was afraid he wouldn't be able to resist attacking.

Suddenly, the corner of Hua Yunfei's mouth curled up. He stared directly at the retreating back of the old man in the gray robe, his pupils turning golden, with a deep purple glow in his eyes.

"Ah!"

The old man in the gray robe suddenly clutched his head and cried out in pain, his face contorted in agony. He felt a powerful soul force surge into his sea of consciousness!

That soul force was forcibly altering his memories!

The old man in the gray robe wanted to resist, but he was shocked to find that with his Celestial Realm cultivation, he was completely helpless against this sudden soul force!

In less than the time it takes for a cup of tea to steep, the old man in the gray robe stood there with a confused expression, muttering to himself:

"Huang Xuan disappeared without a trace. This kid is too fast. He truly is a top-tier heavenly talent, quite skilled!"

"I should go back and report to the Grotto-Master. They shouldn't blame me for not finding him, right?"

His figure faded and disappeared from the spot.

Meanwhile, Hua Yunfei had already taken Huang Xuan and rushed into the higher layers of clouds, entering the flying ship hidden there.

"The environment is quite good!"

As expected of an Emperor's reincarnation, Huang Xuan had seen the world. This luxurious flying ship, which even a Sage Remnant Soul would covet, he only described as "quite good."

Seeing the two return, Lin Yang and the other four immediately stepped forward.

None of them had met Huang Xuan before, and they looked at him with curiosity. Who was this person that Hua Yunfei personally went to pick up?

Huang Xuan was not in the mood to pay attention to them. The four words Hua Yunfei had transmitted to him earlier still made his heart pound uncontrollably.

"Profound Yellow Great Emperor!"

That's what Hua Yunfei had called out to him, and his tone was very certain, as if he knew Profound Yellow Great Emperor was him, hence the address!

Huang Xuan didn't understand. He and Hua Yunfei had never met before; why did he know his identity?

Could it be...

This guy not only possessed an Ultimate Emperor Armament but was also a Great Sage-level expert?!

To see through his identity, the lowest cultivation required would have to be a Great Sage, or a Sage holding an Ultimate Emperor Armament!

Others must enter his body with their divine sense at close range and examine it carefully from all directions to have any chance of discovering it.

But looking at Hua Yunfei, he wasn't holding an Ultimate Emperor Armament, nor did his cultivation seem to be at the Great Sage Realm.

Where was the problem?

Chapter 31: Master Above, Please Accept Huang Xuan's Bow

Even though Huang Xuan was a Human Emperor in his previous life and had extremely high standards, he could never have imagined that a cheat like a system had seen through him.

Hua Yunfei naturally wouldn't admit it. Seeing Huang Xuan staring at him, he chuckled and turned to Lin Yang and the others, saying:

"You all go cultivate first. Feel free to use any resources on the flying boat. This seat has something to discuss with him."

Lin Yang and the others nodded and left sensibly.

When they were far away, the Sage Remnant Soul pulled Lin Yang, secretly sticking out its head and perking up its ears, wanting to eavesdrop.

Lin Yang was speechless. "After interacting for several months, do you think this senior is quite nice, and your courage has grown?"

It had been over three months since they departed from Qingyang Town.

After this period of interaction, Lin Yang and the others had come to understand Hua Yunfei's temperament.

They discovered that not only was his personality good, but he was also very approachable. Under normal circumstances, he had no airs of a master, always winning people over with virtue and being very reasonable.

Therefore, their fear stemming from Hua Yunfei's terrifying strength gradually disappeared.

Especially this Sage Remnant Soul, its courage grew bolder by the day!

"Hehe, it's fine to listen a little!" the Sage Remnant Soul chuckled lewdly.

"If you dare to eavesdrop again, with this palm strike from me, you might die."

How could Hua Yunfei's senses be fooled by the two of them? He turned and looked over, saying calmly.

"Exactly! Lin Yang, how could you do this?"

The Sage Remnant Soul put on a stern face and pointed at Lin Yang, scolding, "I am deeply ashamed of your despicable act of eavesdropping, and most importantly, you dragged me into it. It's simply detestable!"

With that, the Sage Remnant Soul floated far away, leaving Lin Yang dumbfounded.

"I..."

Given his personality, he was almost angered to the point of cursing.

"Senior, what did you mean by what you said earlier?"

Huang Xuan remained very calm. Although his memory was incomplete, he was a Human Emperor in his previous life, so his composure was definitely very high.

He wasn't sure if Hua Yunfei had truly discovered his identity and intended to test him.

Upon hearing this, Hua Yunfei smiled slightly and said, "What you think in your heart is what this seat thinks. Do you understand now?"

Boom!

Waves surged in Huang Xuan's heart. Had he really been seen through?

But why?

He still refused to believe it, thinking Hua Yunfei was bluffing.

Hua Yunfei saw his thoughts and said, "No need to doubt, nor to count on luck. This seat has its own methods, but rest assured, this seat will not harm you."

Huang Xuan was half-believing, half-doubting. "Then why did you bring me onto this flying boat, Senior?"

He didn't believe Hua Yunfei wouldn't be tempted by a body reborn with a trace of Emperor's blood and a trace of an Emperor's soul!

Emperor's blood and Emperor's soul – these were things countless people dreamed of!

Even a trace of them, if a Quasi-Emperor got wind of it, they would rush to snatch it, even across the starry cosmos!
