Chapter 126: Tang Hao

Jun Wu Xiao heard Gu Zhou Jian’s confident declaration and laughed, saying:

"Ha ha, alright, I’ll wait. Good luck with that."

Seeing that continuing this topic wouldn’t give her any more strength to defeat him, she changed the subject:

"What’s up with your hair color? It looks more like platinum than silver. So you change your hair color, right?"

"Hmm? Change my hair color? Let’s see." Jun Wu Xiao said. He didn’t know if he could, but trying wouldn’t hurt.

Hair color is determined by the ratio of eumelanin (black or brown) and pheomelanin (red or yellow). Essentially, the human body has these two types of melanin. But Jun Wu Xiao’s body couldn’t be considered human, so he could produce any color.

He continuously changed his hair color: red, green, yellow, rainbow... Gu Zhou Jian looked at him, and he was like a multi-colored LED light. She laughed:

"Ha ha ha, you look like a light constantly changing colors."

Jun Wu Xiao heard this and then changed his hair back to platinum. He said:

"I still prefer platinum, so there’s no need to change."

Suddenly, he heard the sound of an engine approaching and said:

"It seems those kids are coming to find someone. See, that guy cares about you that much. Coming down here from up there isn’t easy."

She glared at him, startling him, and said:

"Are you saying you’re going to hand me over to them?"

"Ai ya, why are you so fierce? I was just joking, don’t get angry. You’re even easier to anger than Yue Guang." Jun Wu Xiao said.

Gu Zhou Jian laughed and said:

"Do you really think I was angry at you?"

"No, but pretending a little bit is more fun. I like to overdo things so there’s something to argue about. If we were all serious, we’d be as silent as water, just staring at each other without saying a word." Jun Wu Xiao said.

He wasn’t wrong. Although he was the most playful among them, he wasn’t really like that. The longer he cultivated, the calmer he became, but that calm attitude was boring, so he and his friends came up with things to entertain themselves.

You could say they had multiple personalities. One was playful to stave off boredom, and the other was extremely serious, which was the dominant one at the moment.

At this time, a group of people appeared in their sight. The number was small, likely because they had split up to travel different ways.

"Hey, what’s that kid’s name? He looks like he has a high status. Is he from a noble family?" Jun Wu Xiao asked.

"His name is Tang Hao. He’s the young master of the Tang family, one of the largest families in the capital. My family is slightly inferior to his, but after losing the battle, my family has nothing left." Gu Zhou Jian replied.

Jun Wu Xiao nodded. He truly hadn’t expected to meet someone of such high status just after deciding to go out.

Tang Hao got out of the motorbike, took off his helmet, and frowned as he saw the person he loved standing next to someone else. He thought:

"What? Why isn’t she injured at all? How could that be? This cliff must be several hundred meters high. It’s really unreasonable. Could that guy have helped her? Hmm, his attire is very old, like something my great-grandfather used to wear. Wait, great-grandfather? Could he be an elder from some cultivation family? But why does he look so young? That’s right, it must be makeup. Maybe this senior has a passion for youthfulness and uses makeup. Ha, I’m so smart. I must speak politely."

He no longer maintained the arrogant attitude of a powerful young master but instead bowed politely and said:

"I am Tang Hao, the current young master of the Tang family. I apologize for not bringing any gifts since our meeting was unexpected. Please forgive me, senior."

Jun Wu Xiao was taken aback, thinking:

"Damn, this kid’s quite something. I thought seeing me next to her would make him pull out his... what’s it called? Anyway, let’s just call it a toy. I thought he’d pull out his toy, point it at me, and say, ’You bastard, get away from her.’. This kid’s quite calm, but I wonder how long he can stay that way."

He now wanted to see how the kid in front of him planned to talk to him. He said:

"Oh, why do you call me senior? I clearly look very young and handsome."

Tang Hao thought:

"It seems this senior is quite narcissistic. That’s good, I need to flatter him. After all, having an ally is better than an enemy. Perhaps he is also backing some force on the eastern continent. Such an alliance would be very beneficial for my family."

"Senior, your heroic aura is extraordinary, your handsome presence dazzling like the sun illuminating the world. You are like the center of the universe. Such an aura is not something a mere youth could possess." Tang Hao said.

Jun Wu Xiao was stunned, eyes wide in surprise. He hadn’t expected that his casual boast would prompt the young man to praise him to the heavens. He thought:

"Damn, being flattered this much makes me a bit embarrassed. But this kid is quick to grasp the situation. Just now, I was showing off a little, and he’s already started flattering me. It’s intriguing to see someone with high status willing to humble himself to flatter others, especially since he’s young and not impulsive at all."

But having started playing the narcissist, he decided to continue the act. He laughed and said:

"Ha ha ha, good kid. You speak to my liking. That is indeed an accurate description of my handsomeness."

For the moment, Tang Hao focused more on Jun Wu Xiao than on Gu Zhou Jian. As a young master and future heir, he had the responsibility to develop his family. Although his feelings were important, they were a matter for one person, while the family consisted of thousands, tens of thousands of people. Naturally, he knew which was more important.

Another reason why he feels quite reassured right now is because the age gap between both of them is hundreds of years. Moreover, cultivators usually do not care about love affairs, so it is unreasonable for two people to have a love relationship.

"May I ask for your esteemed name, senior?" he asked.

"My name is Jun Wu Xiao." Jun Wu Xiao replied.

Upon hearing this, Tang Hao started thinking again:

"The surname Jun? Could he be from the Jun family? No, according to our family’s intelligence, the Jun family has no such person. But what if he’s someone they’ve hidden or perhaps he truly doesn’t belong to the Jun family?"

He pondered what to ask next. If things went well, he might gain a significant advantage this time.
