The Return of the Greatest Sect Leader
Chapter 57 ~ Honesty Doesn't Make Sense

The wounds on his body were much worse than expected. Li Yao spent the entire night sitting cross-legged, recuperating himself.

The various sounds and disturbances from outside did not shake him at all. Currently Li Yao was completely focused and could not be bothered. Li Yao realized that his current self was extremely weak, which was why he had to recover as quickly as possible.

Li Yao wanted to train even harder.

It felt annoyed to be weak and unreliable, let alone to be a burden. As someone who had once reached the top, it was unacceptable to him.

Day passed, night came.

Time was running fast without Li Yao noticing. Li Yao's eyes slowly opened, suddenly his heart was crushed by an invisible hand that was extremely cold.

Right before him, Li Yao saw Tao Yuhan was observing him. The distance between Tao Yuhan's face and his face was very close, almost not far away. They could even feel each other's breath.

How long had Tao Yuhan been observing Li Yao like that? Since when did Tao Yuhan enter Li Yao's room? Li Yao was completely unaware of it. Although he was used to it, it could still make Li Yao stunned.

In the next instant, Li Yao managed to obtain his composure.

"What are you doing?" li Yao asked somewhat annoyed.

"I'm watching you," Tao Yuhan replied with a slickness.

"Do you know you've been in this position for almost 24 hours?"

"really?"

"Yes!"

"So does Big Brother need to observe my face from this close distance?" Li Yao spoke as he looked into Tao Yuhan's eyes.

"I'm just curious about your facial expression, it's not an expression that appears on a child's face."

After saying that, Tao Yuhan immediately distanced her face from Li Yao's face.

"Silver is not mirrored," Li Yao said as he rolled his eyes.

Longitudinal.

"When did you meet the Nameless King?" tao Yuhan asked coldly, repeating her question that night.

That time their conversation about the Nameless King had to be put off, as they had to chase after Huli. Li Yao did not anticipate Tao Yuhan would discuss the matter. Especially after Tao Yuhan forgot Huli? The little golden fox that he was responsible for.

Li Yao did not immediately reply, he noticed the change in the girl's face. It seemed that Tao Yuhan harbored a deep hatred towards the Nameless King.

"choose! Do you want an honest but unreasonable answer? Or, a reasonable lying answer?" Li Yao gave the choice to Tao Yuhan.

Originally Tao Yuhan was a bit confused hearing Li Yao's question. The question is, doesn't that sound strange?

"Honestly," pinta Tao Yuhan.

"I have nothing to do with the Nameless King, except he tried once to kill me but failed." Li Yao was telling the truth.

"The last time I saw him was 103 years ago. He's the best silent killer, isn't he? Not much information about him. Even the name, no one knows it."

"Are you kidding me?" dao Yuhan asked as she let out a killing intent, the girl was now really being serious.

"I told you." Li Yao reminded.

"It doesn't make sense, does it?"

"So who's your real identity?" search Tao Yuhan.

"Do you have a choice?"

Instantly Tao Yuhan's hand gripped Li Yao's neck very tightly. Li Yao did not dodge, he could only resignedly recall the current state of his body.

"You won't be able to get an answer from me this way. You know, right? Moreover, I am no ordinary child," Li Yao retorted as the girl tightened the chuckle around her neck.

Trying to obtain information from Li Yao in a violent manner was a waste. Like I said, he was no ordinary kid. Tao Yuhan immediately released a stranglehold of her hand from Li Yao's neck.

"You are indeed a cold and simple person," Li Yao said as she stroked her flushed neck.

Suddenly Tao Yuhan's fist landed lightly on Li Yao's head. Li Yao complained in pain then looked at the girl with a question mark in his eyes.

"Call me big brother," said Tao Yuhan, he then withdrew all killing intent issued by him.

Silence regained control of them.

"What about that little golden fox? Did you find him?" li Yao asked suddenly, shifting their extremely heavy topic of conversation.

The memory of yesterday's events repeated itself in Tao Yuhan's head. Tao Yuhan immediately told Li Yao about what he was doing after descending the mountain.

***

Overnight.

Thanks to the stealth gems given by the seven-tailed golden fox, Tao Yuhan did not have to spend much effort to look for Huli's whereabouts.

Where is Huli? The jewel could lead Tao Yuhan to discover Huli's whereabouts.

As soon as it reached Blue Cloud City, Tao Yuhan immediately rushed towards the direction that the jewels were pointing at. Tao Yuhan's steps stopped right in front of a small tavern, a tavern that was almost in the suburban area.

Without wasting any time, Tao Yuhan immediately entered it and met the tavern owner, Deng Xue. Tao Yuhan quickly ordered food, he remembered that he had not eaten dinner.

The order came, Huli was the one who delivered it. Instantly the food order in Huli's hands fell. Huli was very surprised to see Tao Yuhan in front of her.

On the other hand, Tao Yuhan did not care at all about the shock on Huli's face. He looked at his ordered food that had fallen to the floor, his facial expression worsening.

"What have you done?" tao Yuhan asked coldly, he was annoyed that his dinner had fallen to the floor.

"What are you doing here?" Huli asked back, her tone sounded filled with hatred.

Tao Yuhan suddenly recalled the reason for his arrival to this place. Forget about dinner, he should take Huli now with him.

"Holy, come with me!" take Tao Yuhan without further ado.

"I don't want to" Huli refused in an instant.

"I promised your mother I'd take care of you. Remember your mother's last words!" persuade Tao Yuhan.

"Shut up!" huli was angry. After what happened, there was no way Huli wanted to join Tao Yuhan.

Why is Tao Yuhan just looking for him now? Since then a month has passed. Suddenly Tao Yuhan grabbed Huli's hand and pulled it. Tao Yuhan wanted to take Huli by force.

"GET OFF!" huli snapped but Tao Yuhan ignored her.

"UNCLE! THERE'S A BAD GUY WHO WANTS TO KIDNAP ME!" huli shouted, she was trying to summon Deng Xue.

A burly man wearing a flower-patterned apron suddenly appeared. In the man's hand, there was a large knife that was usually used to cut meat.
