But she didn't think he would be stronger than her, after all, her strength at the Late Stage Grandmaster level was not weak!
The middle-aged woman thought that even in this place full of experts, she could still hold her own.
Grandmaster Level experts aren't everywhere, let alone soone at the Late Stage Grandmaster level like her.
Xu Hao nodded slightly and said, "That's right, I'm indeed here to watch the competition."
The middle-aged woman smiled slightly and asked, "May I ask which sect you belong to, young man?"
Xu Hao was montarily taken aback. The way this lady spoke so formally indicated that she was soone who likely stayed within an Ancient Sect for years.
"I'm from the Xuann." Xu Hao replied with a smile.
He wasn't sure which sect to ntion, after all, he absolutely couldn't ntion the Qianji Pavilion, and the Ice Palace was too astounding, so he chose the relatively lesser-known Xuann.
But to his surprise, they actually knew about Xuann.
"Xuan... Xuann? You're joking, young man. Though I, Shu Yonglan, don't travel around much, I do know that Xuann only accepts female disciples. Claiming you're from Xuann is a bit laughable, isn't it?" Shu Yonglan introduced herself.
She completely disagreed with Xu Hao's claim.
Xuann never accepts male disciples!
Xiao Ling interjected bluntly, "Hmph! Liar! If you don't want to say, just say it; don't beat around the bush. You make it seem like we're forcing you to talk. You're such a grown man, and you can't even make up a believable story. Sha on you!"
When Xiao Ling spoke, she didn't forget to gesture by running her hand across her face, an international sign indicating soone doesn't know how to be ashad.
Xu Hao couldn't help but smile.
This Xiao Ling seed to be a young girl who didn't get out of the sect much; otherwise, she wouldn't be so naive at seventeen or eighteen.
Xu Hao said with a smile, "Believe it or not, I am indeed from Xuann."
"What's your na then?" Xiao Ling asked curiously.
Shu Yonglan was also curious. While there were young strong experts like Xu Hao, they were indeed rare.
"My na is Yu Ritian." Xu Hao chuckled as he said it.
"What what?!"
Xiao Ling was imdiately stunned, but her face quickly turned red, glaring at Xu Hao with embarrassnt and anger, "You... you actually said sothing like that! Ah! I'm sullied! Master, I'm not pure anymore!"
Shu Yonglan was also a bit angry and said, "Young man, for a strong expert like you, why joke so crudely?"
Xu Hao shrugged, looking quite helpless, and said, "It's not my fault, after all, parents choose the nas, not . They probably hoped I'd achieve great things that would shock everyone."
In his heart, Xu Hao apologized to his adoptive father ten thousand tis. No choice, he couldn't think of a na on the spot, so he just split his own na up like that, even though it caused the situation to look like this.
"Your na is certainly shocking enough." Shu Yonglan said helplessly.
Xu Hao's serious deanor made her think he might be telling the truth. After all, so parents do na their children sowhat capriciously, going solely by their preferences, without considering their children's feelings.
"Hmph!" Xiao Ling snorted coldly and said, "But I just have a feeling you're not a good person!"
"Doesn't matter. Where are you two from?" Xu Hao asked.
"Zhongzhou Cihang Jingzhai." Shu Yonglan replied.
Xu Hao nodded slightly and said, "If you two haven't found a place to stay..."
Before Xu Hao could finish, a tall man walked over and said, "Two lovely ladies, I'm Niel. All the hotels in Adelaide are fully booked, but if you don't mind, you can stay at my place. We have empty rooms that are clean and ready."
As the man spoke, his eyes didn't dart around, nor did he ogle them.
Still, Shu Yonglan frowned slightly.
Her instincts told her this man wasn't well-intentioned.
However, upon seeing the fatigue on Xiao Ling's face, she hesitated.
Though her own strength was formidable, allowing her to endure outdoor hardships, Xiao Ling wasn't in the sa position!
Her strength was lacking, she was young, and she lacked experience living outside. These factors made the situation particularly challenging for her.
Furthermore, this man, Niel, was evidently a local and just a regular person. Was she really afraid of an ordinary person?
With this in mind, Shu Yonglan said, "Since this young man is so hospitable, we'll stay at your place. We'll pay you the rate of a five star hotel room."
Niel responded with joy, "Please follow , ladies. The lodging cost can be negotiated. I'll definitely give you a discount. You Huaya people have a saying, 'Isn't it a joy to have friends coming from afar?'"
