The travel-worn youth was naturally Shi Xiaobai, who had left the Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower in the evening.
Shi Xiaobai shook off the surrounding crowd and found an opportunity to 'grab' a red-dressed woman who was passing by. He asked her 'where does Speechless Li live', but he never expected that not only did the red-dressed woman not answer him, she had even recognized his identity and started asking him all sorts of questions.
Only then did Shi Xiaobai realize that he had become famous. He had become a celebrity known throughout the country.
There were even skilled artists who had drawn his portrait based on the descriptions of rookies who had seen him. The portrait was 99% similar, and the red-dressed woman was clearly paying attention to this matter. She recognized Shi Xiaobai at a glance and like a fan who had seen a superstar, she pestered Shi Xiaobai with a bunch of questions.
These questions were, in fact, what the Chinese citizens were most concerned about.
For example, how did Shi Xiaobai defeat the eight Level Lords? Did he possess the strength to defeat someone at the late-stages of the Psionic Might Realm at the Psionic Mortal Realm?
For example, what sort of trial was the eighth level? Why did Overlord Ji Feng and company say that it was impossible for humans to clear the eighth level, but Shi Xiaobai was able to do so?
For example, did the ninth level hide some astounding treasure or ancient heritage? The final clearance of any trial was accompanied by generous rewards. What sort of opportunity did Shi Xiaobai obtain in the ninth level of the Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower?
Shi Xiaobai was not shocked that he had become a national celebrity. Instead, he found it to be a matter of course. He did not find it annoying to be pestered by fans, and instead, he was very patient.
However, the red-dressed woman's questions left Shi Xiaobai with a headache. He was completely unsure of how to answer.
Other than the Thousand Eye Demon Sovereign, which he had used the Master Conquest Ball to clear, the other seven Level Lords were killed when he was' enraged 'and lost his mind. He did not know how he did it, so how was he to answer?
The eighth level involved the history of the Transcendental World described by the Infernal Queen. It was a story of humans invading and chasing the Transcendents out of the Transcendental World. Following that, they renamed the Transcendental World to the human world. In this story, humans were the 'evil' side. Which Chinese citizen would believe it if he said it? It would be pretty good if they did not view him as a 'traitor'.
As for the 'opportunity' in the ninth level? It was impossible for Shi Xiaobai to tell others that he had been forcefully inherited by the bloodline of another race in the ninth level. He might look human on the surface, but half his bloodline was that of a green-skinned dwarf, right?
In short, Shi Xiaobai could not give a direct answer.
Thankfully, Shi Xiaobai was also very good at fabricating stories. Through his "King's Point of View", he rearranged the story. Not only did he hide the secrets that could not be revealed, he also made the story exciting and full of ups and downs. Upon hearing this, the red-dressed woman made a fuss as her face flushed red. Her tiny mouth gaped slightly as her eyes sparkled like they were about to drip water.
Shi Xiaobai noticed that there was something amiss in the red-dressed woman's eyes, so he hurriedly ended the story. He asked for Speechless' address once again. The red-dressed woman was reluctant to part with him, but she did not pester him any further. After requesting a photo with Shi Xiaobai, she told him the answer.
Speechless and the Li family were rather famous in China, and they were a household name in Shanghai.
Shi Xiaobai hurriedly rushed to the address given by the red-dressed woman, but when he arrived, he realized that he had made a huge mistake.
The address given by the red-dressed woman was the location of the Li family's residence. And according to the Li family's old steward, Speechless' 'corpse' was currently in the 'crown prince's residence'.
The crown prince's residence and the Li family residence were located in the southeastern suburbs of Shanghai, while the other was in the northwestern suburbs. The two were separated by the entire Shanghai region.
Helpless, Shi Xiaobai could only rush to the crown prince's residence without stopping. However, by the time he reached the residential area in the southeastern suburbs, it was already half past nine in the morning. The night was dark and the lights were bright. The houses were densely packed like a sea of flowers. Shi Xiaobai was momentarily lost. He only knew that the crown prince's residence was in the residential area, but he did not know where it was.
Shi Xiaobai had no choice but to continue using his' Grand Technique of Asking Directions'. However, there were no pedestrians in the middle of the night. When he finally encountered a girl who was carefully walking at night, he went forward to grab her. However, he was immediately treated as a pervert who was tailing her. She shouted 'molestation' and screamed 'help'. She even used her 'Nine Yin White Bone Claws' to scratch Shi Xiaobai.
After a while, when the girl realized that she had not been 'violated', she finally calmed down. With the help of the lights, she saw Shi Xiaobai's looks and immediately recognized him as the young genius who had just topped the trending searches. Immediately, her eyes lit up as she went forward to pester him. Instead, she began 'molesting' Shi Xiaobai.
Shi Xiaobai felt his scalp tingle as he felt immense pressure. It was not easy for him to obtain the location of the crown prince's residence from the girl's mouth. After sending the girl, who had to take the risk of walking at night because of an accident, back home, he suddenly felt that being too famous was not a good thing.
However, his face was indeed useful. The old steward of the Li family residence recognized him as Shi Xiaobai, so he told him Speechless' true location. The guards in front of the crown prince's residence recognized him as Shi Xiaobai, so they very accommodated and let him in. Furthermore, they brought him to Speechless' mourning hall.
Everyone in China knew that Shi Xiaobai and Speechless had entered the Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower together. One succeeded, while the other died. The number one youth in China was replaced in a day.
However, only six people knew that Speechless' death was an unintentional mistake on Shi Xiaobai's part.
Shi Xiaobai took a deep breath in front of the mourning hall. He wanted to confirm the cause of Speechless' death and how he could apologize to Speechless' family after clarifying the situation.
He did not have the intention to kill Speechless, but the completion of the Absolute Choice proved that Speechless had indeed died under his hands.
He would not avoid the responsibility he had to bear.
Shi Xiaobai was mentally prepared as he pushed the door open and entered.
…
"Sorry for disturbing you. This King is looking for Speechless."
Shi Xiaobai had mixed feelings as he looked at the seven uniformed soldiers blocking the door and said those words.
The seven soldiers looked at each other. They naturally recognized the youth that was the hot topic of discussion. His looks and most obvious characteristic — calling himself This King — matched the information that was spreading like wildfire on the internet!
Tyger Li also recognized Shi Xiaobai. As a premier of a country, he was busy with government affairs. He obviously did not have the leisure to care about astounding geniuses or internet celebrities that would suddenly appear every once in a while. However, nearly every report regarding Speechless' death would mention Shi Xiaobai in passing. It was basically the argument of 'China's number one youth has changed'. It was difficult for Tyger Li not to know about it.
He did not have a good impression of Shi Xiaobai because of the reports, so now that he saw Shi Xiaobai, he hated him even more.
Shi Xiaobai had come at a bad time!
Tyger Li placed the truth serum back into his chest and said in a deep voice, "It's getting late. Come back tomorrow."
Shi Xiaobai turned his head to look at Tyger Li. As Mu Lengxi was squatting on the ground and she happened to be right behind the seven soldiers, Shi Xiaobai could not see her from his point of view.
Mu Lengxi could not see Shi Xiaobai either, but when she heard his voice, she could not help but tear up. However, she did not let out a single cry, nor did she stand up. Instead, she hugged her unconscious mother and sat there quietly and sadly.
Wasn't everything she was doing to protect Shi Xiaobai? How could she implicate him?
This was a battle she was fighting alone.
Go back, Brother Xiaobai.
Mu Lengxi prayed gently in her heart.
"Go back. You are not welcome here."
Tyger Li's expression was cold as he attempted to chase Shi Xiaobai away.
Shi Xiaobai fell silent as he looked Tyger Li in the eye with a calm expression. Suddenly, he took a step to the left and moved to the right like a phantom. Instantly, he came to the right side of the hall. The seven soldiers were slightly alarmed, but they could not stop him in time.
From that angle, they could no longer block Shi Xiaobai's vision.
Shi Xiaobai's pupils constricted slightly. He saw the silver-haired girl squatting on the ground, as well as the silver-haired woman she was hugging.
