"Song Tingye?"
His gaze shifted slightly, and Qi Xiu summoned the image of that County Magistrate in his mind: elegant, refined, and cultured, yet his eyes always held a hint of cunning, revealing a man whose schemes ran deep.
Back when he was in Baoho County, he had quite a few interactions with this County Magistrate. Later, an incident involving several carts of grain had led to a life-and-death struggle between him and some demons.
In the blink of an eye, over ten years had passed since they last saw each other.
When he left Baoho County, he was but a mere Common Realm Loose Cultivator. Without Cultivation Techniques, backing, or support, he was a "three-no's" person through and through.
But now, he was the personal disciple of the Shenxiao Sect, a top-tier traditional institution. He had a Sect Master at the Primordial Spirit level, a master who was a Dao Expert, and a group of martial brothers in the Blood-Stained Realm.
