Chapter 173 Identity Disclosure
"Could you tell me more about the Red Earth Continent you mentioned?" Guan Bi asked from the road.
Shen Xu slowly replied, "A desolate wasteland, devoid of life, and fraught with danger."
"What exactly are these crises?" Guan Bi continued to press.
"Except for some specific areas, there are very few living creatures there. But the creatures that survive there have all developed a set of tricky skills, and if you are too careless, you can easily suffer a great loss."
Moreover, that land is extremely arid, which is one of the reasons I told you, the Heavenly River Society, about the Kunyuan Palace. You are the people who have the greatest understanding of the essence of water, and only you have the strength to conquer the Kunyuan Palace.
"Thank you, the information you provided is very useful to us."
"Since you were able to emerge from that place, it means you are also someone who has comprehended the meaning of water. Why didn't you choose to join the Heavenly River Society back then?" Wen Han asked curiously.
Shen Xu knew that his true identity couldn't be hidden at all. Not to mention that the Four Directions Sword Alliance must know his identity, the red light on his body alone would make it very easy to find him, since there are only ten people marked by the red light.
“I’m not a seeded swordsman, and I’m not very strong, so you won’t accept me.”
"You're not a Sword Selection Seed? I thought everyone in the Aoki Club was a powerful Sword Selection Seed!" a girl in the group said with some surprise.
"You're kidding me, you devil. With the kind of power you had in suppressing Captain Chen, practically no one in the entire Tianhe Society could do that." Wen Han looked at him as if he were talking to a child.
Shen Xu smiled but didn't say anything.
A few days later, Shen Xu re-entered the Tianhe Society's headquarters.
"The head of the association is quite busy right now, so please wait here for a while," Guan Bi said apologetically.
Shen Xu smiled and said, "As the head of the association, it is completely understandable that Bai is busy with affairs. Please ask Miss Guan to tell Bai that I am not in a hurry and she can summon me whenever she wants."
He wasn't in a hurry. It would take time for news from the Fire Flame Society and the Five Mountains Sect to reach them. Not only did the Golden Rainbow Society need pressure from other alliances, but the Heavenly River Society did as well.
"Jialin, you'll stay with this distinguished guest for the time being and try your best to meet his needs," Guanbi said to the girl in the blue dress beside him.
Looking at the girl in front of him, Shen Xu couldn't help but marvel at the wonder of fate. He had never met a girl before, yet her name had repeatedly reached his ears, and he had even met her a second time.
However, Guan Bi's words are easy to misunderstand!
The girl in the blue dress seemed a little scared when she saw him, and Shen Xu naturally noticed it as well. "Miss Guan, I can manage on my own. I won't go out rashly."
"Jialin, our guest may look scary with his mask, but he's a very nice person." After spending so many days together, Guanbi had a good impression of the man wearing the demon mask. She could tell that he was actually a very gentle person.
"Okay! Senior Sister Guan, I will take good care of our distinguished guest." The girl clearly made a great decision when she said this.
"Then I'll leave our distinguished guest to you, Junior Sister," Guan Bi said with a mischievous grin.
After Guan Bi left, Jia Lin huddled in a corner of the tent, too nervous to look at Shen Xu. The tent fell into a long silence.
"Could you pour me a cup of tea?" Shen Xu broke the silence. He saw that the girl was sitting there looking rather miserable, so he thought he might as well give her something to do.
"Okay!" Jialin immediately stood up and walked out of the tent in a somewhat flustered manner.
"I'm just making a normal expression right now, and the demon mask should be in a normal state too. It shouldn't be that scary, right?" Shen Xu couldn't help but touch the mask.
At this moment, Shen Xu suddenly realized a problem: how could he drink tea while wearing a mask? But he was the one who asked the girl to pour the tea, so it wouldn't be right for her not to drink it. He could only ask her to do some more work.
"Your tea!" After a while, the girl nervously brought a cup of tea to Shen Xu's table.
“Actually, if you don’t want to stay inside the tent, you can go to the tent entrance. You can hear me perfectly well, and you won’t have to face me,” Shen Xu suggested.
“That would be disrespectful to our honored guest,” the young woman said earnestly, holding the tea tray.
Seeing the girl's serious yet frightened expression, Shen Xu felt that with such a fun and beautiful girl by his side, he wouldn't be bored.
"Are you one of the disciples selected by the Heavenly River Sword Sect?" Shen Xu suddenly asked.
"How did you know, esteemed guest? Do you know me?" Jialin asked, somewhat shocked.
"Actually, I was the one who guided you. Come to think of it, I should have been a member of the Tianhe Society." Shen Xu tried his best to keep his expression calm, afraid of scaring the girl in front of him.
"I actually received distinguished guests? Shen Xu! You are Shen Xu, aren't you?" Jia Lin said in disbelief.
"Damn! How did this girl figure that out? Is this a woman's sixth sense?" Shen Xu was immediately shocked.
After the initial shock, Shen Xu slowly said, "I'm sorry, I am not Shen Xu."
“I recognize your sword! And you said I guided you, you must be Shen Xu!” Jia Lin said with some surprise.
Shen Xu looked down at the sword ornament on the hilt of his sword and couldn't help but feel a headache coming on. "I was really careless this time!"
Thinking about it this way, considering his swordsmanship and the sword he carried at the time, Lu Qingshan must have already suspected him, since Lu Qingshan had seen both of his swords.
But then he thought that it wouldn't matter if Tianhe Society knew his true identity. Since Su Jing hadn't asked the various alliances to target him, he had no reason to hide his identity.
Moreover, given the power and influence of the Aoki Society, no one would be foolish enough to covet his double points bonus.
Even Su Jing probably didn't expect things to turn out this way! He could already imagine Su Jing's furious expression when he got out.
However, even after the sword selection, Su Jing remained a major problem. The more Su Jing couldn't get rid of him, the more he would want to get rid of him. Moreover, given Su Jing's background and strength, it would be effortless for him to deal with him within the Four Directions Sword Alliance, and he didn't want to implicate Zuo Chen and the others.
Thinking of this, Shen Xu frowned, and the demon mask gradually became more and more terrifying.
Jialin, who was initially pleasantly surprised, turned deathly pale upon seeing the change on Shen Xu's mask. Her legs went weak and she collapsed to the ground, dropping the tea tray she was holding.
When Shen Xu saw Jia Lin suddenly collapse to the ground, he immediately covered his face with mist and then quickly went over to help Jia Lin to a chair inside the tent.
Looking at Jialin, who seemed to have fainted from fright, Shen Xu was filled with deep doubt. No matter how scary his mask was, it was unlikely to frighten a Qi Cultivation Ninth Level cultivator like this. Was it Jialin's problem, the mask's problem, or both?
It seems Xiao Ruohuang was right; this mask really shouldn't be worn too often.
When Guan Bi came to tell him to go see Bai Lu, his expression changed instantly upon seeing Jia Lin's condition. Shen Xu had to use a lot of persuasion to convince Guan Bi to believe his story.
