Chapter 1205 Fang Suming: This is a test from the senior!
The three people upstairs ignored the discussion below.
Inside the private room, the original food and drinks had been removed and replaced with a more lavish spread. Sui Xing was eating heartily with chopsticks, occasionally taking a sip of wine. Judging from his appearance alone, he didn't look like a noble young master at all.
More like... a starving ghost who has never eaten anything good.
Yet this very starving ghost made the dignified Fang Suming stand cautiously to the side, bowing respectfully. He no longer resembled the young master of Yunxiang City at all; anyone who didn't know better would have thought he was just a servant who poured tea and water.
I secretly looked up.
Fang Suming glanced furtively at Gu Xiu, who was sitting opposite Sui Xing.
This minor character, whom he hadn't taken seriously from the beginning, was now looking wary and somewhat uneasy, seemingly under a lot of pressure.
This makes sense.
Because this person was so important and had such a powerful aura, the atmosphere in the entire private room seemed to stagnate. Not to mention this local native of Tianshiyuan, even he, the dignified heir of Yunxiang City, felt a little breathless at this moment.
By the way, this important figure specifically summoned this Gu Xiu. Could it be that he values this kid? Will he still accept Yunxiang City's surrender? Or will he look down on us at all?
No, I can't appear worse than this country bumpkin!
I need to appear confident and prepared!
I want to earn the respect of my senior!
Thinking of this, Fang Suming suppressed his inner panic and tried his best to appear calm.
only……
While Fang Suming was racking his brains, he was unaware that the other two were already having a frantic discussion in their minds.
"Sui Xing, think carefully. Do you really have no recollection of Sui Xu Chu?"
"I have no recollection of this name; this is the first time I've heard of it."
"What about the unity of mind and body, and the harmony of the three realms?"
"Who knows what it is? I have absolutely no idea."
Do you still remember your former owner?
"My memories are mostly unclear, I've been in a daze. Gu boy, are you saying that the person named Sui Xuchu might be my former master, or even waiting for me to come back and be resurrected?"
"That's possible, but other possibilities cannot be ruled out."
"That's not right. Didn't you say they were discussing the Heart of Time, not Shattered Stars? Could it be that they accidentally got it wrong?"
"Hard to say."
"So what do we do now? I feel like the atmosphere has gotten tense."
"Relax, just keep eating. Aren't the three of you planning to switch control and eat? Eat your fill, eat until you're full, don't be shy about it since you're being treated by such a generous person."
"Hehehe, the boss is still the most reliable!"
"Eat as you go, and I'll tell you what to do next..."
The next half hour was definitely the most agonizing half hour for Fang Suming, because the atmosphere in the room was so oppressive that he couldn't help but start to have all sorts of wild thoughts.
One moment he's worried that Senior Sui might look down on him and actually destroy Yunxiang City, what if? The next moment he's worried that this country bumpkin is performing better and will be more favored, what if? And then he's worried that his outburst today has displeased Senior Sui?
A series of thoughts swirled in his mind, making him feel as if each day was an eternity.
Fortunately.
Just when Fang Suming felt like his head was about to explode, Senior Sui, who had been stuffing himself with food and even had to order more dishes three times in a row, finally put down his chopsticks with a satisfied look on his face.
and.
He didn't look at Gu Xiu, but looked at himself: "You do have a good eye. Tell me, how did you recognize me?"
"Senior, your divine power is awe-inspiring, this junior..."
"Speak the key."
"Senior Sui, your physical body has already surpassed the limit of unlocking your own primordial treasure. No one in the world but you can do that. Moreover, you call yourself Lord Sui, a title no one dares to use in the Three Enclosures of Sinful Sea. Therefore... therefore, I dare to make this judgment..."
Fang Suming's voice grew softer and softer, sounding somewhat unsure of himself, because he noticed that Sui Xing was watching him with great interest, making it impossible to fathom what she was thinking.
Sure enough, what was supposed to come came.
"Since you recognized me, you shouldn't have left sneakily. Instead, you showed it off openly. You're very brave."
Upon hearing this, Fang Suming's face turned completely pale. He knelt down with a thud and hurriedly said, "Senior, please calm down. I spoke without thinking. I was concerned about the family oath, which is why I lost my composure immediately after recognizing your identity. Moreover, it was indeed my oversight. I thought that your return was to have the cities fulfill their oaths and completely unify the Sea of Calamity, but I didn't expect so much..."
Fang Suming rattled off a bunch of things, which made Gu Xiu and Sui Xing exchange glances, both somewhat taken aback. They hadn't expected that getting information out of him would be easier than anticipated.
"A vow?" After the other party finished speaking, Sui Xing grinned: "You're just a junior, yet you still remember this vow. Tell me, what is your vow?"
This was actually a test, and Shattered Star was even prepared to withdraw the topic immediately if it aroused suspicion.
The result was unexpected.
"Our predecessors were deeply indebted to the four Holy Kings and to the Twelve Cities. Although the four Holy Kings broke their promises, we of Yunxiang City will forever remember that oath, generation after generation, and never dare to forget it!"
"Once our predecessors return, we will do everything in our power to support them and fulfill the mission of achieving harmony among the three realms!"
Sui Xing raised an eyebrow, a half-smile on her face: "So many years have passed, can you really do it?"
"Others may not know, but I, Yunxiang City, swear to support you to the death, Senior!" Fang Suming's reaction was quite intense; he said without hesitation:
"Without my father even speaking, I can give a clear answer. With just one word from you, senior, Yunxiang City is willing to be your vanguard. Even if you want the lives of everyone in Yunxiang City, we will not flinch!"
These words were spoken with such certainty that even Gu Xiu, who had been watching him, was somewhat surprised.
He had been probing Fang Suming with his soul, and found that what this arrogant young master said was actually true, and that he spoke entirely from the heart.
"good good good good!"
Sui Xing nodded in admiration: "I never expected that after so many years, there would still be such a loyal and righteous person. I am very gratified."
Receiving praise from Sui Xing felt like an unparalleled honor to Fang Suming; his face flushed red with excitement. This reaction caused Sui Xing to exchange another glance with Gu Xiu.
Sui Xing quickly sorted out her thoughts: "Since I'm the first one to meet you, I might as well test you."
考？
Is this a test?
Fang Suming quickly and sincerely replied, "Please enlighten me, senior!"
"You've run into me here and recognized me. Why don't you guess what my purpose is?" Sui Xing asked with a smile.
"This..." Fang Suming did not answer directly, but subconsciously glanced at Gu Xiu.
Gu Xiu had already guessed what this conversation would entail, so Sui Xing didn't hesitate at all: "It's alright. I have high hopes for this young man and I'm already planning to recruit him. Perhaps you two will become friends who fight side by side."
what?
Fang Suming was surprised, and even looked at Gu Xiu with a hint of envy. However, he reacted quickly and immediately said:
"Senior's return must be for the sake of the Great Harmony of the Three Realms. And this first appearance, arriving in Wuwei City so quietly, makes me dare to guess that Senior intends to bring Wuwei City under his control first?"
He spoke cautiously, his eyes constantly observing Sui Xing's reaction, but unfortunately, Sui Xing was no ordinary person; how could he possibly see through her so easily?
Sui Xing didn't comment on his guess, but instead asked, "Then, according to your idea, how should I act?"
How to proceed?
Fang Suming was somewhat confused.
