A heavy sound reverberated through the dark and quiet Great Hall. Mei Siren, Xiao Kongtong and Mu Zixi turned their heads in surprise.
âAre you alright?â The little girl ran over quickly. Her subconscious action was not to help, but to take out the image recording bead, but she resisted the urge.
This was too funny.
Xu Xiaoshou actually fell in?
Even she could walk out of the spatial passageway steadily. Had Xu Xiaoshouâs spatial comprehension gone to the dogs?
âIâm fineâŚâ
Xu Xiaoshou stood up with his hand placed on his forehead and seemed to be in a daze.
The first question he asked after he came back to his senses was addressed to Master Siren who was not the type to make a joke. âTeacher, how long have you been here?â
âI just entered.â Mei Sirenâs expression changed slightly. âOn your body, not only were there traces of you having passed through space, but also the smell of time. What did you encounter?â
Time?
Xiao Kongtong felt slightly dazed. He sensed carefully and found that what Master Siren said was true.
It was as if Xu Xaoshou had entered a space-time tunnel instead of a spatial passageway like everyone else.
Those who had practiced the Fantasy Sword Technique and the Nine Swords Technique would definitely understand the two major elements of time and space.
The marks on Xu Xiaoshouâs body were not very obvious, but if one paid close attention, they could see some traces of it.
âSmell?â
On the other side, Mu Zixi was also stunned. She wrinkled her nose and sniffed a few times, and a suspicious look appeared on her face.
Did time really have a taste?
What kind of noses did they haveâŚ
âI just entered. This means that the time I fell was when I was together with the Teachers. There had been no time lapse in between.â
âAnd I clearly stayed for quite some time in the All Time Forgotten Sorrow Pavilion.â.
âThe timeâŚâ
Xu Xiaoshou shook his head to clear the fog in his brain. He felt that everything that had happened just now was so unreal.
It was like waking up from a dream in grandeur, and in the eyes of outsiders, nothing had changed?
âWhat is that?â
Suddenly, Mu Zixi pointed at the staff in Xu Xiaoshouâs hand and asked.
Perhaps in the eyes of Mei Siren and Xiao Kongtong, it was normal for Xu Xiaoshou to have a treasure to protect himself after he entered an unfamiliar place.
However, Mu Zixi was sure that Xu Xiaoshou did not have this staff before.
Even in the Yuan Mansion, she had never seen this staff nor any trace of its unique aura.
It was a very powerful aura!
When they heard her question, Mei Siren and Xiao Kongtong looked over. In the next second, they both realized that the âtime auraâ on Xu Xaoshouâs body was from this staff.
âA Time Attribute treasure?â Xiao Kongtong was a little surprised. After all, this was a rare sight.
âHave you all heard of the Time Ancestor Shadow Staff?â Xu Xiaoshou didnât attempt to hide anything. He held up the staff and told them frankly. These people with him were his own people, so he did not have to be vague about it.
As soon as he finished his narration, both Mei Siren and Xiao Kongtongâs pupils contracted.
âIâve heard of it.â Mu Zixi also nodded vehemently.
âYouâve heard of it?â Xu Xiaoshou was surprised. It was normal for Teacher and the Eldest Senior Brother to know about it, but even little Junior Sister knew about it.
âWhat have you heard about it?â Xu Xiaoshou asked.
âThe name.â Mu Zixi blinked. âThe Time Ancestor Shadow Staff. You just mentioned it just now.â
Xu Xiaoshou was stunned for a long while before he realized that his Little Junior Sister was playing tricks on him. This silly girl clearly didnât know anything!
âYouâŚâ
He ruthlessly struck out at his Junior Sisterâs head, but the latter dodged his blow with a giggle.
Fooled you, Xu Xiaoshou!
I learned this from you!
â+(Played, Passive Points)+1.â
âLet me take a look.â Mei Siren stretched out his hand.
Xu Xiaoshou handed it over without any second thoughts.
Unexpectedly, the staff was a real object in his hand. However, when he was about to pass it to Master Siren, it turned into an illusion and passed through the old Sword Deityâs hand.
As if the time and space had been messed up, the staff that should have fallen to the ground returned to Xu Xiaoshouâs hands, just like how Xu Xiaoshou had held the staff when he had first fallen.
This scene shocked Xu Xiaoshou, as if he was being targeted by some kind of curse. At the same time, Mei Siren and Xiao Kongtongâs expressions turned grave.
âWhat happened to you?â
âYouâve met Kong Yuhen?â
There were two questions thrown at him at the same time. The first one was from Xiao Kongtong and the second one was from Mei Siren.
Xu Xiaoshou seemed to have met his savior. Both he and Xiao Kongtong looked at Master Siren in surprise.
âKong Yuhen?â Xiao Kongtong was in a state of disbelief.
âTeacher, you know him?â Xu Xiaoshou grabbed the Time Ancestor Shadow staff and only realized now what it meant to have an âold manâ at home; it was like he had a treasure.
âWho is heâŚyou mean, Kong Yuhen from the Ten High Nobles?â Mu Zixi couldnât react for a moment, but her eyes lit up after she thought about it.
Mei Sirenâs eyes left the illusory staff in his studentâs arms and swept over the three curious friends. He then said solemnly.
âThis Time Ancestor Shadow Staff has been lost for a long time. The last time it appeared was during the War of the Ten High Nobles and it was brought by Kong Yuhen.â
âBut after that battle, everything about him seemed to have been erased. Many people had forgotten about him.â
âI remember, because there were many geniuses among this generationâs Ten High Nobles.â
âI have been paying close attention to Bazhunâan and that is why I know a little about the Ten High Nobles, including Kui Leihan and the mysterious Kong Yuhen.â
âThe reason why I guessed that youâve met Kong Yuhen was also because of this deduction. Thereâs no way anyone in the world can snatch the Time Ancestor Shadow Staff from Kong Yuhenâs hands. The only possibility is that youâve met him and heâŚ
