"Huo Lian?" Hearing the shout from ahead, Ren Dongju could not help looking over.
He saw Huo Lian, but the one who had spoken was the old man beside him, whom Ren Dongju did not know.
What shocked him was that he could not gauge the other man's strength at all.
Since he had called him a junior, he must be one of the Old Fools.
There were few Old Fools in the Jianghu whom he did not know. He had never expected to encounter one now.
"This has nothing to do with Huo Lian. He's been with this old man all these years and has been doing quite well. You needn't worry. It's my fault for not having him send you word." The old man chuckled. "Ren Dongju, how about handing Huang Xiao over to this old man?"
"Senior, I don't know whether you've used a disguise or are someone I don't recognize, but are you provoking our Wood Demon Sect by doing this?" Ren Dongju asked gravely.
"The Wood Demon Sect? This old man doesn't much care." The old man smiled. "Since your Wood Demon Sect once took good care of Huo Lian, this old man won't make things difficult for you. Let Huang Xiao come with me, and you may leave."
Ren Dongju said nothing, merely staring at the old man before him.
Huang Xiao had not expected to see the Patriarch and this old man here. He had thought the two had left long ago.
Moreover, the old man had appeared here for him.
Was this at the Patriarch's request? Huang Xiao wondered.
The Patriarch must have seen him with Senior Immortal Alchemist earlier.
Something's not right. The Patriarch must have recognized Senior Immortal Alchemist. I shouldn't have been in any danger there, Huang Xiao thought
