Chapter 138 Barefoot Uncle (2/2)

“If uncle likes it, I’ll give it to you.” Zhou Yuan chuckled.

The middle-aged man’s eyes immediately brightened as he excitedly responded, “Then I’ll give you my thanks youngin.”

He took another mouthful before picking up his pipe again and drawing in a deep breath. Green smoke rolled out, its acrid flavor causing the surrounding geniuses to frown.

The unkempt middle-aged man enjoyed a puff of smoke as he remarked, “Youngin, there’s something amiss about the way the others look at you.”

Zhou Yuan shot a glance at his surroundings. The various geniuses were looking at him as if they were looking at a dead person. He knew that it was because news of the grudge between him and Wu Huang had already begun to spread.

From their point of view, he was only a Qi Nourishing stage practitioner, and yet he had an enemy like Wu Huang. This was undoubtedly akin to having half a foot in the grave.

Zhou Yuan smiled and said, “I have a life or death enemy called Wu Huang, and they likely believe that I’m screwed.”

“Wu Huang?” The middle-aged uncle seemed to have heard of this name. His gaze immediately filled with pity as he looked at Zhou Yuan and said, “Then you are indeed rather pitiful…”

Zhou Yuan laughed, unoffended. He was already used to such a response.

However, the middle-aged uncle quickly crowded over and said in a low voice, “Moreover, I’ve heard that the envoy from Sacred Palace has already met Wu Huang and is very satisfied with him. As long as Wu Huang is able to distinguish himself in the Saint Remains Domain, he will be accepted into Sacred Palace and become their disciple.”

“Sacred Palace?”

Zhou Yuan’s heart shook a little. By this current point in time, he had already gained some knowledge with regards to the six sacred sects. It was said that Sacred Palace was the strongest amongst the six sects.

He never imagined that the envoy from Sacred Palace had already met with Wu Huang…

Zhou Yuan’s eyes flickered, before eventually returning to calmness. He stared at the sloppy looking uncle and asked, “Does uncle work at the city lord residence?”

Outsiders would not be privy to such information. Only those in the city lord residence might catch some scraps.

The slovenly uncle chuckled and continued to drink his wine. He sucked on his pipe and breathed out swirling green smoke as he shot a sideways glance at Zhou Yuan. “Youngin, if you wish to take your revenge, the Saint Remains Domain will be your final chance.”

Zhou Yuan nodded, not saying anything else.

“I’ll be taking this wine, don’t drink too much.” The uncle grinned as he kept the bottle into his sleeves. He breathed out a puff a smoke as he looked towards Zhou Yuan. “Youngin, the Saint Remains Domain will open tomorrow. There’s someone who has great expectations of you, so you better put in some effort. If your performance ends up terrible, it will really be a little embarrassing.”

Zhou Yuan was taken aback, somewhat confused. There seemed to be a deeper meaning within the uncle’s words. Plus, how did he know when the Saint Remains Domain was opening?

Zhou Yuan frowned and asked, “Who are you?”

The slovenly uncle did not reply, merely waving his hand as he puffed out another ring of green smoke. His bare feet walking on the ground as he unhurriedly made his exit.

Zhou Yuan’s eyes were filled with confusion. This barefoot uncle was not as simple as he had thought.

However, he did not dwell too much on this event, spending a little more time sitting alone, before rising and returning to the room.

Not long after he returned, news that shook the entire Saint Remains City began to spread.

The Saint Remains Domain was opening tomorrow!

In the room, Zhou Yuan was dazed by this news. The unkempt uncle had been right… just who exactly was he?
