Ch. 992 - Playing The Role of A Playboy Young Master

“I don’t have any plans for now, maybe wait until the Heaven's Will forms, or perhaps go take a look at the Immortal Extinction Sacred Ground,” Xu Zimo said with a smile.

“They won’t hand over the Holy Son,” Xu Qingshan thought for a moment and said. “This is not just about the Holy Son, it’s also tied to their lineage’s pride.”

“But I can’t go back on my word either,” Xu Zimo said with a smile.

After chatting briefly with Xu Qingshan, Xu Zimo left.

The sect was now trying hard to get him to return to the Vice-Lord’s position, and even Sacred Lord Xiao seemed to have some intention of retiring.

When that time came, who would take over would naturally be obvious.

However, Xu Qingshan had worked tirelessly for the sect for so long. Now that he had finally put down the burden, he was naturally unwilling to take it up again.

He also planned to rest for a while before considering anything.

At least until Xu Zimo bore the Heaven's Will.

……

“Brother Zimo, where are we going now?” Lin Ruhu asked from the side.

“Let’s go take a stroll down the mountain,” Xu Zimo said with a smile. “It’s been a long time since I wandered around quietly.”

“Senior brother wants to taste the smoke and fire of the mortal world,” Little Gui laughed from the side. “I heard that many strong cultivators, after reaching the peak, often fall into the mortal world, lingering in worldly life, claiming they are experiencing the lives of the common people.”

“That’s not it,” Xu Zimo smiled. “It’s just that I suddenly remembered an old dream a few days ago and felt I should realize it.”

“What was senior brother’s old dream?” Little Gui asked curiously.

“I know,” Lin Ruhu laughed. “He always wanted to become the number one playboy in the world.”

“Then what did senior brother experience to change so much?” Little Gui asked in surprise.

Xu Zimo shook his head with a smile, secretly thinking to himself, “If you lived life over again, naturally things would be different.”

Then he smiled and said, “What, senior brother isn’t a playboy now? Then let’s go down the mountain and I’ll let you experience a day in the life of a playboy.”

The three chatted and laughed as they walked down the mountain.

Around the True Martial Sacred Ground were mostly towns, with few actual cities.

The nearest city was Flourishing Sun City to the east.

Flourishing Sun City was named after the rising sun, as it was said the first ray of sunlight each morning always shone upon this city first.

Today Flourishing Sun City seemed to be holding some kind of gathering, and it was particularly lively.

People bustled back and forth, vendors on the streets shouting their wares, and the smell of food wafted for several streets.

The incident in Baili City had already stirred up a huge storm, spreading across the entire world.

Many great powers had begun warning their disciples to stay put during this period, forbidding them to go out and cause trouble again.

Even though people could already sense a looming storm in the air.

But those were matters for the great powers.

As for ordinary commoners and small vendors, they couldn’t care less.

All they cared about was whether they had enough to eat each day, what the weather was like, and how much they sold today.

Those were the real concerns of ordinary people.

As for the world’s destruction? Sorry, I still need to earn money.

If the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up.

………

“What do you think a playboy young master should look like?” Xu Zimo asked with a smile. “Dressed in fine white robes of silk? Holding a folding fan?”

Little Gui chuckled, “His face should be sickly pale, like someone with kidney deficiency.”

“And he must have a few vicious servants,” Lin Ruhu nodded. “Walk with his nose in the air, head raised, strutting about.”

“Ruhu, you sure know a lot,” Xu Zimo said with a smile. “Then today, let’s be a playboy young master again.”

The three of them arrived at a fairly decent-sized tavern. Looking up, they saw three large characters written above: “Bright Moon Tower.”

On both sides were plaques with couplets.

“When will the bright moon appear, I raise my cup and ask the heavens.”

Entering the tavern, they found its decorations rather elegant, with a hint of antique style.

Within the antique style was also a bit of unique charm.

The first floor was filled with diners, most of them people of noble status.

Even when they conversed, their voices were low.

As the three walked in, Lin Ruhu, tall and burly, swaggered over and sat heavily at a table, loudly shouting, “Innkeeper, bring wine!”

That shout drew nearly everyone’s attention.

The tavern’s attendants weren’t men, but rather beautiful women.

They all wore matching revealing uniforms, each with curvy figures.

“Honored guests, what do you need?” one woman asked as she swayed her slender waist, walking over.

“Bring all your best dishes and wine here for our young master,” Lin Ruhu said with a cold snort.

Xu Zimo sat at the head seat, while Little Gui stood at his side, dutifully massaging his back.

“Our tavern has many dishes, but I fear the table won’t fit them all, nor could you finish everything,” the woman said with a polite smile. “Why don’t I bring the menu for you to choose from?”

“What nonsense,” Lin Ruhu slapped the table hard.

Bang, bang, bang!

“Are you afraid we can’t afford it? When I tell you to bring it, you bring it.”

“Very well,” the woman nodded helplessly and withdrew.

Xu Zimo noticed that people around them were quietly surrounding their table, probably to prevent trouble.

“Senior brother, how was that performance?” Lin Ruhu turned his head and whispered with a grin.

“Not bad,” Xu Zimo nodded with a smile.

Once they settled in, the Bright Moon Tower’s efficiency was impressive. In less than half an hour, waitresses began bringing dishes one after another.

As Little Gui ate, he asked, “Senior brother, what do you plan to do about the Immortal Extinction Sacred Ground?”

“Didn’t I say before?” Xu Zimo replied. “I want Lu Changhen’s head as an apology.”

“If they refuse, do you really plan to attack their sect?” Little Gui asked.

“So what?” Xu Zimo replied.

“I’m not afraid of them. But right now, with the Heaven's Will about to form, everything should take that as priority,” Little Gui explained.

“Once you bear the Heaven’s Will, then you can do whatever you want.”

“Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing,” Xu Zimo nodded. “After you return this time, will you still go out to train?”

“No, I won’t,” Little Gui shook his head. “Once everything settles, I’ll go into seclusion to cultivate.”

“And you, Ruhu?” Xu Zimo asked.

“I think I still need training. Once you bear the Heaven’s Will, I want to go take a look at the Outer Heavens,” Lin Ruhu said.

As they were talking, another group of people entered from outside.

Leading them was a graceful young man surrounded like stars around the moon.

The group had over a dozen people, all around Xu Zimo’s age.

“Innkeeper,” someone called out.

A woman walked over.

“Are you here to dine or stay?”

“You won’t do, call your innkeeper out,” the elegant young man in front waved his hand casually.
