Chapter 353 The Young Singer's Journey 22
Xiao Yu once learned some unorthodox techniques from Xiao Ruofeng, including a technique called "The Comes and Goes" (来鸿去燕).
When using this technique, the people passing by can naturally ignore his existence. Even if someone occasionally notices him, his face will become blurry in their eyes, and they will quickly forget his existence.
For this reason, in the past two months, apart from Anhe, who received special tutoring from Xiao Yu, no one was able to discover his and Wuxin's whereabouts.
Looking at the two characters "Xiaguan" engraved above the city gate, Xiao Yu couldn't help but sigh and said with emotion, "After going around in circles for so long, I thought I would never be able to reach Snow Moon City in this lifetime."
The journey, which should have taken only half a month, was actually taken more than two months by Wuxin, who has no sense of direction, even with a map. Xiao Yu was extremely impressed.
Wu Xin jumped off the carriage and walked to Xiao Yu's side, saying confidently, "Hey, you're mistaken! I know you usually live in seclusion in Tianqi. I deliberately took a detour this time so that you could experience the magnificent beauty of Beili."
"That's just sophistry!" Xiao Yu shook his head helplessly, but did not expose Wu Xin's attempt to save face, leaving him some dignity.
Over the past two months, his unintentional "guidance" has been going quite smoothly.
Although the atmosphere wasn't very harmonious when the two first met, Wuxin gradually opened her heart to him and let down her guard under his subtle influence.
Perhaps without realizing it, Wuxin's attitude towards Xiao Yu had quietly undergone a dramatic change. When facing Xiao Yu, he unconsciously placed himself in the position of "younger brother".
In her daily interactions with Xiao Yu, she often reveals her childlike side.
Faced with Wu Xin's childishness and occasional mischief, Xiao Yu showed great tolerance and patience.
For Wuxin, who had just lost his master and was filled with loneliness and confusion, this was like a piece of driftwood in a vast ocean.
This allowed him to find a safe haven in the perilous North, where everyone wanted to kill him.
In fact, Wuxin initially suspected that Xiao Yu had ulterior motives, but upon closer examination, he felt that his suspicions were somewhat unfounded.
If Xiao Yu really has ulterior motives and wants to use him, then the most direct and efficient way is undoubtedly to send him back to Tianwaitian and seek his assistance after he has fully taken control of the situation. Wouldn't that be more beneficial to the struggle for the throne?
However, Xiao Yu did not do that. Instead, he chose to tell him about his father's grudges with Tianwaitian and let him choose his own path. Afterwards, seeing that he was unwilling to leave, he did his best to help him stay in Beili.
Xiao Yu's actions were truly perplexing to Wuxin.
I pondered this repeatedly in my mind, but I still couldn't find a reasonable answer.
He tried to understand Xiao Yu's motives from various angles, but every explanation seemed far-fetched.
Could it be that Xiao Yu is a magnanimous and exceptionally kind person? Does he also possess a compassionate heart and enjoy helping those in distress and finding pleasure in helping others?
This is utter nonsense!
When Xiao Yu enforced the law against fishing in the Dark River, he was decisive and ruthless, and I have never seen him show any mercy!
Wu Xin was completely baffled. After much thought, he finally came to an unbelievable conclusion: Xiao Yu really did treat him like a younger brother.
Otherwise, why would Xiao Yu have traveled all the way to Snow Moon City?
All of this was for him!
People tend to rationalize their own thoughts, and Wuxin is no exception.
It was this instinct to rationalize ideas that gradually made Wuxin trust Xiao Yu, believing that in this complex world, there still existed genuine kinship and kindness.
Perhaps, Wuxin wasn't trying to rationalize his thoughts, but rather, deep down, he genuinely longed for the warmth and care of his loved ones.
Xiao Yu entered his world precisely at the moment when he most craved family affection.
------------------------------------
Xiao Yu and Wuxin entered the city, chose a restaurant to rest for a while, and then dispelled the spell.
As the "coming and going of the swallows" spell was removed, no fewer than ten pairs of eyes inside the restaurant turned to the two of them simultaneously, while outside the restaurant, several prying eyes were also hidden in the shadows.
At this moment, the spider web also demonstrated its speed, quickly transmitting the two's whereabouts to Sikong Changfeng.
Upon hearing the news, Sikong Changfeng exclaimed in surprise, "What did you say? Those two people have come to Snow Moon City?"
"Yes, Third City Lord. They are currently in a restaurant in Xiaguan."
Sikong Changfeng frowned and said incredulously, "So, the two people who caused the entire martial arts world to search for them are not only not dead, but they also did not hide their whereabouts. Instead, they have come to Snow Moon City openly?"
"Yes."
Sikong Changfeng's heart sank, realizing that the two men had come with ill intentions.
"Let's go take a look!"
-------------------------------------
Despite the subtle, scrutinizing gazes around them, Xiao Yu and Wu Xin sat calmly on the second floor of the restaurant.
The waiter seemed quite interested in the two guests, passing by their table from time to time.
Wuxin found it amusing and immediately called over the waiter, asking him about Snow Moon City.
The waiter glanced at Xiao Yu, who was wearing a cap, and then started chatting with Wuxin with great interest.
"...The wind of Xiaguan, the flowers of Shangguan, the snow of Cangshan, the moon of Erhai Lake—if you two wish to see the true Snow Moon City, and if you have a name card, you can simply walk in. If not, please take a look..."
The waiter pointed to a tall building outside the restaurant and said, "Then you must go up to the Ascension Pavilion. If you two can climb to the sixteenth floor of the Ascension Pavilion, you will be able to meet the legendary Great Lord of Snow Moon City—Bai Li Dongjun."
"hehe--"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yu couldn't help but chuckle and shake his head.
His memory of Baili Dongjun was still from his previous life, when he cursed someone to the point of demonic possession with just three sentences.
He simply couldn't imagine how someone as love-obsessed as Baili Dongjun could become the number one in the world and be so revered.
The waiter frowned and a cold glint flashed in his eyes when he saw Xiao Yu shaking his head and chuckling.
He could tolerate others mocking him, but he could not tolerate others looking down on Snowmoon City, much less on the Great Lord of the Hundred Mile City.
For those who run shops and do business, harmony is the key to making money.
However, being amiable does not mean having no bottom line or no temper.
"What do you mean, sir? Do you think I've said something wrong?" The waiter's tone revealed obvious dissatisfaction.
