After Gongsun Haoshu and the rest had completely disappeared, Wutian's brows finally relaxed. He turned to look at the wide-faced Golden Armored Guard and nodded slightly.
Seeing this, the two of them heaved a sigh of relief. The wide-faced Golden Armored Guard hurriedly turned around to carry out his duty and lead the way.
Walking into the Holy Master Mansion, Wutian's eyes suddenly lit up. He saw gardens, ponds, and pavilions everywhere. The intoxicating fragrance of flowers assailed his nostrils, and the sound of water droplets could be heard constantly.
Looking around, the corridors were heavily guarded, and there was a guard every three steps.
Wutian was secretly speechless. He really couldn't figure out why the Flood Dragon Emperor had so many guards when he was already so powerful.
But soon, he got the answer.
In one of the gardens, a little girl of about eleven or twelve years old was squatting unhappily on a pavilion, looking listlessly at a pond not far away. Her two white and tender arms were wrapped around her legs, and her thin body looked a little lonely and pitiful.
Beside the little girl were two maidservants who seemed to be saying something to the little girl, but because they were too far away, Wutian couldn't hear them.
But he knew the little girl. She was the Flood Dragon Emperor's daughter, Little Cai Xue.
And all the Golden Armored Guards were protecting her. This could be seen from the way they kept their eyes on Little Cai Xue and the way they looked around her.
Looking at Wutian, the wide-faced Golden Armored Guard said meaningfully, "Actually, Little Cai Xue used to be very lively, but after coming back from the second battle zone, she has been depressed and won't say more than ten words for the whole day."
In other words, it was all Wutian's fault that Little Cai Xue became like this.
Wutian acted as if he didn't hear and was deep in thought.
Counting carefully, it had been more than three years since Little Cai Xue left. Three years was naturally nothing to him, but to a child, it could change a lot of things.
Among them, growing taller was the biggest change.
But at this moment, seeing Little Cai Xue again, Wutian found that she hadn't changed at all. Whether it was her face or her height, it was exactly the same as when he first saw her.
This was obviously strange!
The broad-faced guard didn't walk towards Little Cai Xue. Instead, he walked straight in.
Wutian walked through many corridors with a head full of doubts. Finally, he saw a small wooden house not far away.
That's right, it was indeed a small wooden house!
Moreover, judging from the wide-faced guard's appearance, the destination of this trip was precisely that small wooden house.
Wutian was puzzled. Didn't they say they were going to the hall? Why did they come to such a place?
His gaze passed through the small wooden huts and looked into the depths. He was immediately in disbelief. The environment inside was just as beautiful as the places he had passed on his way here. However, they were all small wooden huts. In the depths, he even saw a thatched hut.
As if sensing Wutian's confusion, the wide-faced guard smiled and said, "Does Young Master feel that the Saint Mansion is a little different from what you imagined?"
Wutian nodded and did not deny it.
"In fact, it's not just Young Master. Anyone who comes to the Saint Mansion for the first time will have this feeling."
The wide-faced guard explained, "When the Saint Mansion was first built, the Lord did not agree to it. However, the four Great Saints insisted. In the end, the Lord had no choice but to accept it. However, in order not to be extravagant and wasteful, the Lord requested that only four walls be built. As for the environment and layout inside, they must be arranged according to his wishes."
Wutian suddenly realized that the Flood Dragon Emperor was not a person who liked luxury. No, he was a ferocious beast.
The wide-faced guard smiled and added, "Actually, this is not bad. From the outside, the Saint Mansion looks tall and imposing. However, the inside is beautiful and quiet. It has a different style."
Wutian nodded.
Then, the two of them walked through a shady path and appeared in front of the small wooden house. The wide-faced guard bowed and said, "Butler He, I have brought Young Master Wutian here."
"Let him in!" An old voice came from the wooden house.
The broad-faced guard stepped forward and gently pushed open the closed wooden door with a creak. He then retreated to the side and smiled at Wutian: "Young Master, please come in."
Wutian's eyes flickered as he took a step forward and appeared directly in the wooden house. The wide-faced guard saw this and reached out to close the wooden door and went back the way they came.
The interior of the wooden house was simple, but it was clean and dry.
An old man with white hair and a ruddy complexion was sitting on a wooden chair in front of the hall. His wrinkled hands were holding a teacup. While Wutian was looking around, the old man put down the teacup and stood up to point at the wooden chair beside him. He chuckled and said, "Young Master Wutian, please take a seat."
Wutian looked over and his pupils shrank slightly.
With just one glance, Wutian knew that this old man was a master not inferior to Kongbi Ming King!
Wutian shook his head and said, "This Wu still has important matters to attend to, so I won't be sitting. Old man, please tell me the purpose of calling this Wu here!"
Butler He was stunned for a moment, then he smiled and said, "Since Young Master is a straightforward person, this old man will not be long-winded. This time, I called Young Master here mainly because of Young Miss."
"Little Cai Xue?" Wutian frowned.
Butler He said, "Since returning from the second battle zone, Young Miss has been in a bad mood. Finally, under this old man's questioning, Yu Xiaohao told me what happened, saying that she might have been frightened by you."
"Frightened?"
Wutian was stunned and puzzled.
When he first met Little Cai Xue, the first impression she gave him was that she couldn't stand Wutian. How could a little witch who wished for the world to be in chaos be frightened by a mere massacre?
"Young master, there's something you don't know. Don't look at how the young miss is usually fearless. But no matter what, she's still a child. The methods you displayed back then were too cold-blooded and merciless. It's unavoidable that it'll leave an indelible shadow in her heart." Housekeeper He sighed.
Wutian shrugged, as if to say that this had nothing to do with him!
Butler He shook his head and said, "After that, this old man also thought of many ways, but none of them worked. In the end, this old man thought that whoever started the trouble should end it. However, due to your identity as a spy, I did not dare to look for you. But a few days ago, when this old man learned of your true identity from the Lord Saint, this old man finally saw hope, so I asked Saint Xuan to invite you to the Saint Mansion."
Wutian finally understood. After all this time, it turned out that this old man wanted him to counsel Little Cai Xue and help her return to normal.
After pondering for a while, Wutian said helplessly, "I'll try my best!"
To be honest, he was very unwilling, and he had no obligation to do so.
However, no matter what, the Flood Dragon Emperor's kindness to him could not be erased. He could not accept the name list, but if he had to decline such a small favor, it was really a little unreasonable.
Butler He was delighted and hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Young Master."
"Don't be in a hurry to thank me. I just said that I'll try my best. If there is still no result by tomorrow morning, then I can't accompany you."
"Of course, of course. This old man knows that Young Master is going to the Xuanhuang Battlefield, and I understand the importance of this matter. I dare not take up too much of Young Master's time."
Butler He nodded repeatedly and immediately led Wutian to where Little Cai Xue was.
"Actually, the Lord Saint did not agree with this old man, but every time I see Young Miss depressed, I can't help but feel worried, so I went against the Lord Saint's wishes and insisted on inviting Young Master here …"
On the way, Butler He seemed to be convinced that Wutian could do it. He was so happy that he did not stop talking since he left.
Not long after, the two of them came to the side of the pavilion. Butler He walked in with a smile and said kindly, "Young Miss, look who I brought to you."
"Who is it?" Little Cai Xue responded listlessly.
Butler He squatted beside Little Cai Xue and stretched out his hand to touch Wutian behind her. He smiled and said, "You'll know when you turn around."
Little Cai Xue sniffed and turned around weakly to look at Wutian. However, there was no reaction at all. She continued to stare at the water and said indifferently, "I don't know him."
Wutian was stunned and suddenly realized that when he was in the Second Battle Area, he was still in the form of a child. Now that he had returned to his original form, Little Cai Xue naturally could not recognize him.
Suddenly, a monstrous murderous aura rushed out of Wutian's body, and his eyes, which were still colorful before, became extremely cold in an instant.
This sudden scene not only made Little Cai Xue jump up like a frightened rabbit, but even Butler He also acted as if he was facing a great enemy. He protected Little Cai Xue behind him and looked at Wutian vigilantly.
Whoosh!!!
The Golden Armored Guards protecting Little Cai Xue were naturally alarmed. Accompanied by bursts of air-piercing sounds, they appeared around the pavilion one after another. The place was completely surrounded, and murderous aura filled the air!
Wutian ignored them and looked coldly at Little Cai Xue. He said coldly, "Do you recognize me now?"
"I recognize your eyes. You … are that … demon … Wutian …"
Little Cai Xue seemed to be extremely flustered and scared. She was slurring her words and avoiding Butler He's eyes. Her hands, which were grabbing Butler He's clothes, were trembling slightly.
"Demon?"
Wutian was taken aback and smiled bitterly in his heart. He didn't expect to have another nickname unknowingly, and this nickname was more than a little unpleasant!
Suddenly, a plan emerged in his mind. Wutian sneered. "Back in the second battle zone, weren't you fearless? Moreover, you followed behind me and ran across half the battlefield. Why don't you even dare to look at me now? Are you afraid? "
"I …"
Little Cai Xue hid behind Butler He and stuttered for a long time without saying a word.
Wutian sneered again and again, and unceremoniously attacked: "I thought you had a lot of guts, how much ability! It turns out that you're just an idiot. "
"I'm not an idiot." Little Cai Xue immediately retorted, but her little head was still hiding behind Butler He, seeking protection.
Wutian sighed secretly and couldn't bear it.
After hesitating for a while, he continued to mock, "Coward, just admit it! No one here will make fun of you, because they don't dare to. Who told you to have such a great father! In other words, if it weren't for your father, you'd be worse than an idiot. "
"Boohoo …"
Before Wutian finished speaking, Little Cai Xue began to cry.
"Only a coward will cry. Generally, a brave person will face the person who ridiculed them, but you only know how to cry to vent your helplessness and fear. Tell me, if you're not an idiot, what are you?"
After Wutian finished speaking, he noticed that Little Cai Xue's little head was slowly moving away.
Therefore, he began to add fuel to the fire and sighed. "I originally wanted to see how great the daughter of the Flood Dragon King is, but it turns out that she's just so-so. How disappointing! To think that the daughter of the East Region Saint doesn't even have the courage to look at others. How useless … "
Seeing that Wutian's words were getting more and more outrageous, Butler He's old eyes could not help but burn with rage. Just as he was about to reprimand him, an angry voice suddenly sounded.
"I'm not a coward or an idiot. You bastard, murderous demon, I won't stop until I beat you down today!"
The owner of the voice was none other than Little Cai Xue.
"The provocation worked." Seeing this, Wutian finally heaved a sigh of relief and a faint smile appeared on his face.
