"Dad, what's wrong?"
Gao Zisheng heard the change in his father's voice, and his heart skipped a beat for no reason.
He asked, puzzled, "What's wrong with the name Xu? None of Longdu's Eight Great Clans are named Xu, are they?"
Jun, Zhao, Zhong...
He could count them on his fingers. Not one of them was named Xu!
What kind of powerful backing could a family have if it was not even one of the great clans?
The other end of the line fell deathly silent.
Second Master Jun did not answer.
Only one thought spun wildly through his mind—
Impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
It has to be a coincidence!
There were plenty of people named Xu. A man living to a hundred was rare, but not unheard of.
How could it be that old gentleman?
Elder Xu was supposed to be at Jade Spring Mountain today, receiving dignitaries from across the world!
His elder brother, now the head of the Jun Family, had bathed and changed before dawn, then taken their most valuable gift to queue respectfully at Jade Spring Mountain.
After more than three hours in line, his brother had not even managed to squeeze through the old gentleman's front gate!
And a "good-for-nothing" like Second Master Jun, who did nothing but live off the family, did not even qualify to join the queue!
How could such a godlike figure appear at a little dock in Modu?
Second Master Jun might have been a useless wastrel, but he had at least that much common sense.
He simply had not heard that Elder Xu had "run away from home."
So he could not connect this "old geezer" in front of Gao Zisheng with that living legend.
That's right!
*This old fraud must have heard Elder Xu's name somewhere and decided
