Chapter 0138 – Would it be too cruel to let go just like that – Absolute Returns

"Your Excellency, where have you been?" Seeing Li Xuan’s return, Xu Dalong rushed forward and asked, a hint of concern in his tone.</p>

"Went on a trip to the Central State." Li Xuan said indifferently, as if he had just made a trip to an unusual place.</p>

"Central State?!" When Xu Dalong heard this, his eyes widened in disbelief, "Your Excellency, are you not joking? The Central State is more than ten thousand miles away from here, and you actually made the round trip in only four days?"</p>

"Not bad." Li Xuan nodded and confirmed.</p>

"My lord, you …… are not teasing your subordinate, are you?" Xu Dalong still couldn’t believe it, he had followed Li Xuan for many years and knew that even though Li Xuan’s cultivation was profound, it was impossible for him to travel to and from the Central State in such a short period of time.</p>

"When have I ever lied to you?" Li Xuan asked rhetorically with a smile, a hint of doting in his tone.</p>

"This ……" Xu Dalong was at a loss for words, he thought back carefully and realized that Li Xuan had indeed never lied to him, but this matter was just too unbelievable for him to accept.</p>

"That’s just it, that’s just it, subordinate won’t ask anymore." Xu Dalong shook his head helplessly and said, "Your Excellency, whatever you do, you have your reasons, so my subordinate won’t ask any more questions, lest I ask for trouble."</p>

Li Xuan couldn’t help but smile as he looked at Xu DaLong’s tangled appearance, this Xu DaLong, although loyal, always liked to get to the bottom of the matter and break the casserole, which was somewhat similar to the Blood Heavenly Demoness.</p>

"It’s good that you understand." Li Xuan said with a smile, "By the way, has Elder Drunken Demon ever come here?"</p>

"Back to Your Excellency, ever since your seclusion, Elder Drunken Demon has never come back." Xu Dalong replied.</p>

When Li Xuan heard this, his heart couldn’t help but recall the scene when he parted ways with the Drunken Demon.</p>

That night, the drunken devil sat alone on the canoe, pouring out his sorrows with wine, and that forlorn back was unforgettable to Li Xuan to this day.</p>

"Do you really hope that the Devil’s Way can usher in a peaceful era?"</p>

Li Xuan’s heart couldn’t help but ripple as the Drunken Devil’s voice filled with hope echoed in his ears.</p>

Perhaps, the Drunken Devil was not as cynical as he thought, perhaps, he also hid unknown secrets and hardships in his heart.</p>

"Senior Drunken Devil, who exactly are you?" Li Xuan secretly thought in his heart, he decided that he must find an opportunity to solve the mystery on the Drunken Devil in the future.</p>

"By the way, Da Long, what happened to your leg?" Li Xuan suddenly noticed that Xu Da Long was walking with a limp, seemingly injured.</p>

"Back to Gongzi, yesterday master his old man, a sudden whim, to point out subordinates martial arts, the results ……" Xu Dalong said here, could not help but reveal a bitter smile, seems to recall what unbearable past events.</p>

"How did it turn out?" Li Xuan asked, a hint of curiosity in his tone.</p>
