Chapter 1607 (Raw 1589): Overly Sensitive

The moment Xiao Chen left the western side of the city, his sharp Spiritual Sense immediately picked up dozens of gazes focused on him from the shadows.

As for the gazes out in the open, those were even more numerous.

“Look! Xiao Chen is out!”

“White Robed Xiao Chen came out from the Pirate Alliance!”

“He is the one who killed the Ice-Snow Sword Luo Feng and caused the Burning Moon Sect’s Yan Xin to lose all dignity two days ago. Now, Yan Xin is nowhere to be found!”

“He is really bold. I thought that he already left Purple Sun City long ago. To think that he dared to remain here after offending two powerful sects!”

“I heard that some small groups outside the city are targeting him as well.”

“Haha! That is natural. He made so many large transactions in the Purple Cloud Pavilion. Who would not be envious? Purple Sun City has never lacked desperate criminals.”

“However, he is someone that can even kill the Ice-Snow Sword. If anyone wants to target him, they will have to think about it carefully!”

The many voices entered Xiao Chen’s ears. Even he felt somewhat surprised.

The storm from killing a dancing clown was greater than he had imagined. In a mere two days, he actually became famous in Purple Sun City.

However, Xiao Chen was not in the least regretful.

If one did not court disaster, one would not die.

Xiao Chen did not feel any guilt, nor had he killed the innocent. He had given the other party many chances. The Ice-Snow Sword, Luo Feng, sought all this out himself.

Since Xiao Chen already killed Luo Feng, that was it. There was no need to dwell on it.

“Big Brother, there sure are a lot of eyes on us, both covert and overt.” Xiao Suo looked around, appearing extremely cautious.

Xiao Chen said calmly, “Are you afraid?”

“Afraid? Naturally, I’m afraid. Who would not be after inciting such a huge storm? However, I will not surrender if we really have to fight!”

Xiao Suo did indeed feel somewhat afraid. After all, no one did not fear death. However, he also felt somewhat excited.

He felt his blood surging, his body constantly tense. He never had that feeling even when he plundered the sects or large factions.

Xiao Chen smiled faintly. This Xiao Suo was speaking quite honestly. If Xiao Chen did not have so many trump cards, he would be afraid as well.

“Don’t overthink. Things are not as bad as you imagine.”

Xiao Chen had seen many grand scenes before, and his heart was as still as an ancient well, not fluctuating at all.

Soon, he and his group arrived at Idle Cloud Restaurant.

Xiao Chen did not hesitate to step in and order some food while waiting for Senior Liu to turn up.

Just at this moment, someone in the restaurant said in a low voice, “Did you hear, the last of the three new talents of the Purple Sun Region, the Wind Chasing Sect’s Feng Buyu appeared.”

Many people looked over with expressions of curiosity.

Of the three new talents, one died, and one lost all dignity and was missing, leaving only one. The remaining Feng Buyu was a person who could stir up a conversation.

“Feng Buyu appeared two days ago. However, he was outside the city. I wonder, what was he doing? This is very mysterious.”

“I heard that he showed up once at the Purple Cloud Pavilion yesterday. When he came out, he looked angry.”

“I wonder if he will go and seek trouble for that White Robed Xiao Chen. If he does, it will be very interesting.”

The moment this was said, this topic immediately came to an end, as someone discovered Xiao Chen’s presence.

No one dared to pursue this topic.

Naturally, Xiao Chen and his group did not care. They merely ate and drank. Fei`er felt somewhat nervous. Soon, her senior brother could be saved. She hoped that there would not be any surprises.

“Xiao Chen!”

Just at this moment, a melodious voice rang out from outside Idle Cloud Restaurant. Xiao Chen looked around and saw Lan Luo walking in, wearing a long, red dress.

“Big Brother, Beauty Lan Luo is back!” When Xiao Suo saw this, he immediately smiled and said, “Your charm is really extraordinarily great.”

When Lan Luo walked over and heard that, she felt somewhat angry. However, the situation was urgent, and she could not be bothered to address that.

Xiao Chen had a pretty good impression of this woman. Previously, there were just some misunderstandings.

“Miss Lan Luo, are you looking for me?”

Lan Luo nodded and said seriously, “Yes, hand that tattered pirate banner to me and quickly leave Purple Sun City. Otherwise, your life will be in danger.”

Xiao Chen’s expression immediately changed. He looked at the other party and asked, “Are you threatening me?”

The matter of the other party leaving in anger could be explained as a misunderstanding. This time, Xiao Chen could not help being somewhat offended.

Lan Luo actually dared to make a special trip to look for me for the sake of the Scarlet Blood War Banner. Since Xiao Chen knew the origins of the Scarlet Blood War Banner, he naturally would not hand it over.

Lan Luo’s heart sank. Why is this person like this? I’m trying to save his life, but he turned angry.

“Think what you want. If you hand me the pirate banner, I will return all the Spirit Jades to you in their original condition. After that, I’ll send people to escort you away. Purple Sun Region is about to turn chaotic. You cannot afford to play the games that will take place later.”

Lan Luo calmed herself and explained the pros and cons, hoping that Xiao Chen would listen to her.

She did not want to see someone whom she was grateful to and looked up to die in Purple Sun City.

Xiao Chen said indifferently, “Thank you, but I have something to do and cannot leave.”

“Why are you not listening to me? What can be so important that it is even more important than your life!” Lan Luo exclaimed loudly. Then, she added, “Do you think that you are incredible for killing the Ice-Snow Sword and can really sweep your way through Purple Sun City?”

When Fei`er heard that, she paled slightly. Then, she said with her head lowered, “Big Brother Xiao Chen, should we...”

Lan Luo’s words struck Fei`er’s soft spot, making her feel helpless and flustered. That was right. What could be more important than Xiao Chen’s life?

“Bang!”

Fei`er’s expression made Xiao Chen truly angry. He slammed the wine cup on the table and said coldly, “Enough!”

“Am I wrong?! Tell me! What can be more important than your life, preventing you from leaving Purple Sun City?” Lan Luo immediately felt wronged. She came here to save the other party out of kindness, but Xiao Chen actually repaid her with a fit of temper.

Since Lan Luo was young, she had been the apple of the eyes of all her family and friends.

When had she suffered such grievances and faced another person’s anger like this before? This made her feel like crying.

“Lan Luo, I said enough. I told you to stop. Let me tell you this: there are many things in the world that are more important than one’s life. It is just that you, Lan Luo, do not understand.”

Xiao Chen looked icily at the other party. “I know you are of nobility and have an extraordinary background. However, you are nothing special in my eyes. Don’t think that you are so incredible, that after performing some charity, I should be deeply grateful and be at your beck and call.

“You look down on me, Xiao Chen. Regardless of whether you are sincere in saving me or covet my pirate banner, get out of my sight. Now!”

Tears welled up in Lan Luo’s eyes and slowly spilled out. Her voice sounded somewhat hoarse as she asked, “Are you going to attack me if I still don’t leave? Fine! I don’t understand! I’ll leave! Xiao Chen, whether you are dead or alive, it has nothing to do with this lady.

“Soon, the three Sect Masters of the Temple Ghost Sect from outside the city will seek you out to demand you hand over the Dazzling Sunlight True Flame!”

Although Lan Luo said that she did not care about Xiao Chen, she still told him about the trouble from the Temple Ghost Sect before leaving in a huff.

Fei`er whispered, “Big Brother Xiao Chen...”

Xiao Chen consoled, “It’s fine. Don’t overthink. No matter what, I will wait for Luo Nan’s injuries to be healed first before leaving.”

“Sorry, I caused you to have a misunderstanding with Miss Lan Luo.”

“Misunderstanding? There’s no misunderstanding. I know the purpose of her visit. However...never mind. She has not experienced it before. Hence, she cannot understand a promise made to a friend who would go through thick and thin together, sharing life and death.”

Xiao Chen took a sip of wine and stopped discussing Lan Luo.

There would always be people who clung to the belief that if one put in their one hundred percent sincerity, the other party had to reciprocate one hundred percent.

No matter what it was, one had to listen to her; otherwise, one was wrong and trying to anger her. This was simply unreasonable; no amount of explanation would work—all the more so if such a person was of extraordinary birth and noble position.

Xiao Chen did not wish to explain too much. One day, when the other party truly grew up, they would naturally understand who was right and wrong.

She would also come to know that there were many things in the world that were more important than one’s life!
