Chapter 853 What Do You Want?
Gao Ge knows nothing about the Western Border Region. Basically, he has never been here.
After taking off the plane, they arrive at Zi’erduo Airport. Gao Ge calls Qingrou but this time, the call is not put through.
He is even more worried.
Having pondered over it, he calls Horn Dragon.
Horn Dragon is a bit surprised to get the call from Gao Ge.
By now, he hasn’t known that Yue Xincheng is in trouble.
He thought Yue Xincheng was seeking the legacy of the swordsman so he didn’t follow here. After all, this matter takes luck and time. By reason, nothing bad would happen. Besides, he is Horn Dragon of the Dragon Court, who has a lot of things to do. Hence, he cannot stay with Yue Xincheng all the time.
“Find a place and settle down first. I’ll look into this.” Then, Horn Dragon just hangs up the phone.
Gao Ge settles in a hotel with Xia Shengtang.
“As far as I know, there is no blessed spot in Zi’erduo but several cultivation schools. The strongest one is a second-class school. I heard that their sovereign has just reached the realm of Master. Yet, despite that, they are still not very strong,” Xia Shengtang says.
He holds a cigarette between fingers and looks out of the window.
“In this case, supposedly, Yue Xincheng won’t be in danger?” Gao Ge asks.
“Not necessarily,” Xia Shengtang says with a smile, “Has Yue Xincheng not reached the realm of Master? Hence, if he messes with that second-class school, he will be in danger.”
Gao Ge looks gloomy. It is hard to tell what he is thinking about.
Xia Shengtang understands his facial expression and thinks about it, asking, “Are you wondering whether this matter has anything to do with the Dragon Killers?”
Gao Ge looks at Xia Shengtang in surprise as if suspecting whether the latter can read his mind.
“If you are thinking about this, I think you’ve worried too much. They should be not interested in Yue Xincheng. No...” Xia Shengtang hedges and shakes his head, “Although they are not interested in Yue Xincheng, they must be interested in you. When I dealt with them, I heard them say that they wanted to get you to join them.”
Gao Ge snorts.
Then, he also thinks of something and then looks at Xia Shengtang in confusion, saying, “If you are right, they must want to get you to join them too.”
“To get me to join them?” Xia Shengtang sneers, “They did but I refused them.”
“So they just gave up?” Gao Ge asks in shock.
He has rarely dealt with the Dragon Killers but as far as he knows, those people don’t seem to be soft touches.
“They know who my master is so they don’t dare to find me,” Xia Shengtang says, “Although even my cultivation school may not be able to rival against them, you must know that they have been concentrated on setting against the Dragon Court and that they have been long prepared for it. If they offend my cultivation school, I will be making trouble for myself.”
Looking at Xia Shengtang’s face radiating with confidence, Gao Ge nods and also wonders who Xia Shengtang’s master is and where his cultivation school is.
However, before Gao Ge raises his questions, Xia Shengtang says, “Don’t try to pry into my privacy. It’s none of your business. Besides, you don’t need to know about it.”
Gao Ge has been used to it. If Xia Shengtang talks too politely to him, he will feel surprised, “Such being the case, since you’ve joined a cultivation school, won’t your master and the seniors of your cultivation school have any objection to your being the director of the Star Sect?”
Xia Shengtang says with a smile, “They won’t restrain my freedom. Besides, my master is quite nice. Moreover, I don’t intend to stay in the Star Sect all the time.”
Gao Ge has expected such an answer but when he hears it for real, he still feels rather distressed.
It is a happy thing to have such a cultivator at the realm of Grand Master as Xia Shengtang guard the sect.
“Yue Xincheng is really talented. I suppose it won’t take long before he can enter the realm of Master. By then, there will be you, the cultivator at the realm of Grand Master, two cultivators at the realm of Master and two monsters in your sect. Actually, this organizational structure is not worse than the inferior blessed spots. It won’t make much difference whether I’m still in your sect or not,” Xia Shengtang says.
As a matter of fact, Gao Ge and Xia Shengtang have known each other for quite a while but they rarely sit down and have a chat peacefully.
Besides, putting aside Gao Ge, even Xia Lu doesn’t understand her brother even more.
At least they don’t know what Xia Shengtang has been doing these years or what he wants to do.
Gao Ge and Xia Lu always think Xia Shengtang is mysterious.
“Shengtang.”
“Yes?”
“What’s your goal?” Gao Ge asks.
Xia Shengtang suddenly pulls a long face, “What do you mean? Do you think I join the Star Sect for an ulterior motive?”
Gao Ge hastens to shake his head.
“That’s not what I’m talking about. Here is the thing. My goal is to become strong, do away with my current enemies, get married, have babies, have my parents live with me, settle down, and volunteer to defend against the enemies when Huaxia or the Dragon Court needs me. What about you? What’s your goal? Or what do you want to do?”
Xia Shengtang quiets down.
After a while, he stubs the cigarette butt out.
“You know, my mother passed away early.”
“Yes.”
“My mother told me on her deathbed that I must protect my sister well. Hence, I think I must listen to my mother’s last words. My mother is gone. As to my father... You’ve met him. You know what kind of man he is. If I counted on him, Xia Lu would surely suffer wrong. Therefore, I must become strong to keep my sister from being bullied by others. Afterward, I met a man and he is my current master. He told me that he could make me strong but I had to leave with him. He also said that I could go back home later so I just left with him. As to what I want, I simply want my sister to be safe, encounter no danger and live a happy life in her life.” Xia Shengtang takes a deep breath and probably because he thinks of Xia Lu, he cracks a smile, “So, in order to protect her, I must grow strong and keep breaking through. That’s it.”
Gao Ge is deeply touched.
Indeed.
Xia Shengtang literally has a sister complex!
“What about now? What do you want to do now? What do you want?” Gao Ge asks.
