"Sect Leader, I've found the foreigner for you. What do you want to say … Can you come out and talk to him personally?"
Although Xia Liuqing could be said to be a senior in the Quan Xing Sect, she wasn't as unruly as the other members of the Quan Xing Sect. Instead, she was the person who valued Liu Xiaojiang's identity as the Sect Leader the most.
Therefore, regardless of what Liu Xiaojiang, the Sect Leader, was doing in the room, regardless of whether the gossip inside was the kind that he was interested in or not, in the end, he still did not dare to overstep his boundaries like Xia He and the others. It was impossible for him to act like a true friend and recklessly step into someone else's territory.
To put it bluntly …
There was no doubt that he didn't truly understand Liu Xiaojiang and couldn't understand Liu Xiaojiang's recent actions. The reason why he was willing to stay in the Quan Xing Sect to help Liu Xiaojiang, apart from his own motives … was because he was suspicious and afraid of the monster Liu Xiaojiang.
Wealth comes from danger …
These were probably the true thoughts of the actor Xia Liuqing at the moment …
Liu Xiaojiang was well aware of Xia Liuqing's nature. He wouldn't give up everything for an 'outsider'. On the contrary, he would be extremely selfish for himself and the so-called 'people on his side'.
He did not think that Xia Liuqing would treat all the other members, or even him, the Sect Leader, as one of her own. However, with Mei Jinfeng, who was not really a hostage, there was no need to worry about things like 'the actress is heartless'.
Unless …
The old man was able to completely erase the 'actor being heartless' principle. Otherwise … he could only respectfully call Liu Xiaojiang 'Sect Leader'.
"Actor being heartless …" Liu Xiaojiang heard the noise outside the door and gently patted Er Zhuang's wrist, indicating that he still had things to do. Then, he got up from the sofa and walked towards the door.
"But even if he's an actor, he's still a human …"
"Hmph …" Er Zhuang looked at Liu Xiaojiang's back and couldn't help but curl his lips. "I hope you can be like Elder Xia outside the door and learn what it means to be truly affectionate and righteous."
"… It's just love," Liu Xiaojiang stopped in front of the door and looked back at the woman who was still standing in the room.
"Although it does seem that he's more affectionate than me …"
"It's good that you know …" Er Zhuang saw the complicated expression on Liu Xiaojiang's face and shook his head helplessly.
"If you can treat a woman like me with one-tenth of what Elder Xia treats Granny Jin Feng in the future … I'll be thankful."
"…" Liu Xiaojiang.

In another room on the same floor.
"Sect leader, I've brought the person for you. If you have anything to say, you can talk among yourselves. This old man won't interfere here."
Xia Liuqing brought Liu Xiaojiang to Barron's room. Perhaps she knew very well why Liu Xiaojiang asked her to find the foreigner, so she wisely didn't want to ask too much about this matter. She only left a sentence and immediately turned around to leave the hotel room.
"Old Cunning …" Liu Xiaojiang watched Xia Liuqing leave and didn't stop her. However, after she kindly closed the door, he couldn't help but shake his head with a smile.
"This makes me seem like a monster who eats people without spitting out their bones …"
As he said that …
He sat on the sofa in the living room and looked at Barron Grylls, who he hadn't seen for a long time.
"Mr. Barron, long time no see …"
"I think you should have guessed the reason why I asked you to come here this time through Elder Xia's' guess', right?"
"It has indeed been a long time …" Barron still looked like the energetic burly man in his prime. As long as he didn't say … no one would be able to guess that this person was actually close to 60 years old.
"Think about the rumors I've heard recently …"
"Liu, seeing you now is still the same as before … That's great."
"Still the same as before …" Liu Xiaojiang looked at Barron, who was as enthusiastic as an old friend. He didn't feel alienated like he did with other foreigners. Instead, he also felt the joy of meeting an old friend after so long.
However, friends were friends, and joy was joy …
Even if he treated this special foreigner as a good friend because Barron handed over the Liuku Immortal Thief without hesitation, it didn't mean that this could completely cover up the problem of this friend.
After all, the Liuku Immortal Thief was also one of the Eight Strange Techniques. This Barron was undoubtedly the successor of the Eight Strange Techniques and one of the actual owners of this chaos technique.
Moreover..
"Mr. Barron …" Liu Xiaojiang shook his head as if he hadn't changed.
"I wonder if in the past few months, have you found … a more suitable successor to the Liuku Immortal Thief?"
Hearing this,
Barron seemed to understand something, but he didn't answer this question directly. Instead, he looked at Liu Xiaojiang with a smile and said,
"Liu, the person you once said that you wanted to use it to save should have succeeded after so long, right?"
"Ah …" Liu Xiaojiang didn't deny it. He nodded and said,
"This is also thanks to your generosity back then. Even if it was a request from a stranger like me, you still chose to give it to me …"
"No …" Barron directly denied this.
"In fact, I didn't give it to a strange person like you because of this."
As he said that..,
He smiled and stretched out three fingers at Liu Xiaojiang.
"It's mainly because of three aspects …"
"First of all, this thing originally belonged to Huaxia. I only obtained this inheritance by accident, which was why I was able to survive that dangerous situation back then."
"So …"
"To me personally, whether it's the thing itself, the person who taught it to me, or the China that gave birth to these two, I … actually have a good impression of everything."
"Secondly, when I obtained it back then, I took the initiative to ask the person who taught it to me if I could be considered a disciple by that person's side. In the end … I didn't get an answer to the questions of identity and inheritance. I thought that the expert might not want me to claim to be his disciple."
"Inheritance … I'm indeed not qualified, but it does belong to me. Therefore, even if I can't get recognition in my identity, I feel that I shouldn't let it disappear just like that. At least … I have to find a chance to return this inheritance to China."
"As for the third reason …"
"Liu, you're a very powerful young man, and you have the orthodox inheritance of China. Moreover, your identity at that time was still a company employee, and the purpose of asking for it was to save people … At that time, you were the most suitable candidate."
"The reason why I was willing to give it to you was not to save people, but to let this inheritance return to where it should be …"
