After a moment passed, the old man Foo Yen finally calmed down. He tried to make his facial expression as calm as possible.
Right now, he did not care about Wang Cheng Yong. He only cared about Bai Chen.
The thoughts in his head raced around quickly. He thought about how he should start the conversation without triggering a fight.
It was obvious that he did not want to fight with Bai Chen, whom he thought was a fellow sky-soaring realm cultivator.
He did not want to risk his life just to take revenge for Wang Cheng Yong.
Wang Cheng Yong was already dead anyway. If he had to avenge a dead man, he might as well not do anything, because it did not benefit him in any way.
Bai Chen put a serious face on, which was in direct contrast to the old man’s.
He had been suppressing his emotions since he knew that the old man was a sky-soaring realm cultivator.
‘What do I do?’
Bai Chen’s heart pounded fast. He knew that he would not be able to fight a cultivator at the sky-soaring realm level.
The reason why he had been able to beat Tai Yang the Strange, a sky-soaring realm cultivator before this was all because of his four-star formation.
Without it, he would not have been able to kill Tai Yang the Strange.
And now he had to encounter another sky-soaring realm cultivator, the old man Foo Yen!
It was a critical situation for Bai Chen. He felt a heaviness inside.
He could not help but think that it would be good if he was a sky-soaring realm cultivator. He would be able to fight equally with the old man Foo Yen.
“Fellow Taoist, what is your name?”
While Bai Chen was taking his time considering the situation, the old man Foo Yen spoke and greeted him with his hands clasped together in the manner that cultivators greeted each other. He sounded polite and friendly.
Bai Chen was confused. He had truly thought that the old man would fight him because he’d killed Wang Cheng Yong.
This was because when he’d shot the first bullet, a curtain of green spirit qi had appeared to protect Wang Cheng Yong. Thus, he thought that this bald old man must have been on Wang Cheng Yong’s side.
Now that he had killed Wang Cheng Yong, it would only be natural for the old man to kill him right on the spot. Instead, he greeted Bai Chen very politely.
A moment later, Bai Chen realised that he was also walking on thin air, a little above the floor.
Maybe the old man Foo Yen misunderstood that he was also a fellow sky-soaring realm cultivator.
Just like what Xu Xue Ning had thought when they’d first met.
Realising this, Bai Chen’s eyes could not help but sparkle. His facial expression grew calm again. He put his hands together in greeting.
“My name is Hu Yuan.”
Bai Chen was clever enough not to say his real name. He lied that he was ‘Hu Yuan’.
“Ah, it is you my fellow Taoist, Hu Yuan.”
The old man Foo Yen gave a friendly reply.
Nevertheless, he was mentally searching for the sky-soaring realm cultivator named ‘Hu Yuan’.
No matter how much he searched, there were no sky-soaring realm cultivators named ‘Hu Yuan’ in his memory at all.
However, the old man Foo Yen did not think too much about it. In the world of cultivators, there were always dark horses.
It was only normal for him to meet fellow sky-soaring realm cultivators he did not know of before.
“My fellow Taoist, what is your name?” Bai Chen asked with a calm voice.
He asked this because he wanted to find a reason to walk out of there safely.
“My name is Foo Yen,” the old man said happily.
Hearing Bai Chen’s tone of voice, he knew that Bai Chen did not want to start a fight. That was why he was so happy.
“What are you doing here?” Bai Chen asked again.
Bai Chen felt great pressure. If the old man realised that he was not a sky-soaring realm cultivator, he would be killed for sure!
“Nothing much. I was just passing by and detected your presence here, so I decided to come to greet you and make your acquaintance.”
The old man Foo Yen lied with a straight face. He stopped for a moment before looking at Wang Cheng Yong’s body.
“I didn’t think you were busy dealing with someone. Pay me no mind. I didn’t plan to stick my nose into the matter.”
Bai Chen’s eyes narrowed. He looked at Wang Cheng Yong’s body and considered a bit.
It was obvious that this old man did not want anything to do with him killing Wang Cheng Yong. It was actually good news.
Bai Chen was relieved. However, he did not plan to be careless concerning the situation. He calmly clasped his hands together before the old man Foo Yen.
“If that is so, I thank you, my fellow Taoist, Foo Yen.”
It was obvious that Bai Chen was only acting and hoping to get out of there alive.
“There’s nothing to thank me for. If you’ll excuse me.” The old man Foo Yen smiled until the very end. He suddenly disappeared like blowing wind.
Bai Chen started to think that being a cultivator himself would be good. He knew full well that cultivators were special and powerful, though not at the same level as the Life Changing System.
“I need to get out of here,” Bai Chen said softly, and he stopped thinking about anything else.
If a sky-soaring realm cultivator like the old man Foo Yen did not pay any attention to him, he would be able to get out of here safely. No one could stop him.
This was because the only one who knew that he’d killed Wang Cheng Yong was the old man.
There would not be anyone to stop him if he walked out now. Without further ado, Bai Chen quickly retreated from the mansion.
