Xin Gugu stopped in his movement.
The Red Coat Night Guardian looked back with interest.
Fu Xing turned around in surprise. “Big Brother Shou? Why are you here?”
Xu Xiaoshou had come alone.
Using his Weaving Technique to deploy a spiritual array was a task that he could complete quickly, and it did not take much time.
After that, he led Mu Zixi back to the banquet room.
Only then did he realize that the main event of the banquet dinner had not even started. After asking around, he found out that Fu Xing left temporarily and went to the entrance of the City Lord Mansion to pick up someone.
He discovered the figure of the old man in red robes along his way.
Obviously, Fu Xing was waiting for him.
He had never expected that the last guy to attend the banquet would be a Red Coat.
With his flowing red robes and terrifying murderous aura—plus his words, “I just came from the White Cave”—Xu Xiaoshou instantly knew that Xin Gugu was in danger.
When they set out, Xin Gugu refused to come because he was afraid of meeting the Red Coat.
Xu Xiaoshou also vowed to him that the Red Coat would not be there. In the end, he had to eat his words.
Did the dignified Red Coat come to attend the banquet?
Fu Xing and his family were definitely no ordinary folks.
Although anxious, Xu Xiaoshou did not act on impulse. Instead, he slowed down his footsteps and watched the events.
Sure enough, things had escalated quickly toward the worst direction.
The one named Night Guardian discovered the existence of Xin Gugu and seemed to have sniffed something out.
Xu Xiaoshou had to stand up.
He could not witness Xin Gugu die like that. It was simply ridiculous.
Inferring from the words and deeds of the old man as soon as he appeared, he was a guy with a temper and a direct, no-frills character.
This kind of person was unlikely to be someone who would beat around the bush.
Since he found Xin Gugu but did not make the first move, he must have had some doubts.
It was the first lifeline he had to cling onto.
Xu Xiaoshou kept silent and smiled as he walked forward and stopped by Fu Xing’s side.
“You are waiting for your guest. Similarly, I am here to pick up my friend.”
Fu Xing froze for a moment. He glanced at Xin Gugu. “Is he your friend?”
“That’s right.”
Xu Xiaoshou smiled and nodded.
The Night Guardian suddenly laughed. On this trip tonight, had he landed on two big preys?
The one before him was still okay, as he could not smell anything.
After slaughtering so many ghost beasts, his instinct told him that this Golden Staff was not ordinary.
However, this kid who had just arrived…
The stench on his body was even fouler than that of the sewer and was totally unconcealed.
That was a massive lead.
This person had definitely been in contact with ghost beasts, and not just one.
Perhaps he was already developing a ghost beast host body.
Was this guy courting death?
Did he dare to appear in front of him?
“You kid, who are you?” the Night Guardian asked from the corner of his mouth.
“I am Xu Xiaoshou. Are you the legendary Red Coat?”
Xu Xiaoshou showed a trace of reverence in his eyes.
His knowledge of the Red Coat was all from hearsay.
The words of Elder Qiao and Elder Sang gave him the impression that the Red Coat was one of the most influential organizations in the world.
It was an existence that wandered in extradimensional spaces all year and maintained world peace. The admiration Xu Xiaoshou had in his mind did indeed exist that little bit.
The Night Guardian did not hide the disgust in his eyes.
“Xu Xiaoshou…”
“You are too smelly.”
