"Xiao, I didn't expect you'd be here, it's been really hard to find you."

  In the dense forest, a woman in red walked slowly towards the man in front of her. Her eyes were filled with tenderness and affection, and her beautiful eyes clearly reflected the man's cold figure.

  The man's face was shrouded in a cold mask, and his body exuded an aura of aloofness that made strangers dare not approach. This aura halted the red-clad woman's footsteps, yet her face still wore a gentle smile.

  "During this time, there are two forces looking for you. One is the young lady from Lingmen, and the other is the Xiao family! Although they haven't mentioned your name, I still know that the person they're searching for is you."

  Yun Xiao subtly pursed her pale red lips, as if she hadn't heard the red-clad woman's words. Her cold gaze remained fixed on a nearby empty space.

  "The reason why the young lady of Lingmen is looking for you, I'm afraid no one knows better than you," said the woman in red, covering her mouth with a smile, her beautiful eyes shining brightly, "Who made you so charming, even with a mask on, you can attract countless women, if you take off the mask, who knows how many people will go crazy for you."

  Unfortunately, this man was too cold-blooded, with a pair of black eyes that were always still and unresponsive, it's really unknown whether there's anything in the world that can move him.

  "As for the Xiao family..." The red-clothed woman, seeing that Yun Xiao didn't respond to her, wasn't angry and continued smiling as she said, "I heard that the Xiao family once had a useless young master who was driven out of the Xiao family at the age of seven! From then on, there was no news of him! I wonder what relationship you have with that Xiao family young master?"

  There was a hint of probing in her words, and she glanced at Yun Xiao with beautiful eyes.

  What disappointed her was that this man remained unmoved, as if what she said was just an unimportant matter...

  If Yun Luo was here, he would definitely guess that the young master of the Xiao family who was expelled from his family is indeed Yun Xiao.

  The reason is that Yun Xiao's physique is a Lingxu body, and people with this physique cannot cultivate before the age of 10. It wasn't until after the age of 10 that they would suddenly make rapid progress. Therefore, large families like the Xiao family could not tolerate the existence of useless people, and it was very likely that he would be expelled from the family.

  "Xiao," the woman in red attire pursed her lips, a hint of unusual light flashing within her beautiful eyes. "It seems that your true identity is unknown to the Xiao family, and I understand that you don't want them to know about your current abilities. If you're willing to let me follow by your side, I'll keep your secret for you. What do you say?"

  Her eyes were filled with infatuation: "I don't wish to be your wife, I only want to follow you around, to live and die for you."

  Yun Xiao's gaze finally had a hint of change, his cold and cruel eyes gradually shifted to the beautiful face of the red-clothed woman, expressionless, he said: "There is another kind of person who can keep secrets! That is, the dead!"

  The woman in red suddenly changed her expression, biting her lips tightly: "Xiao, you..."

  "My name is Yun Xiao," the man's aura spread out, covering the red-clothed woman, his eyes cold and sharp like a hawk, expressionless, "You don't have the qualifications to call me by my first name."

  "Hehe," the woman in red smiled wryly, her body seemingly pinned down by the man's aura, unable to move. "People say that Ghost Emperor is heartless and unfeeling, especially towards women, showing no mercy or tenderness. Now it seems, it's indeed true!"

  Yun Xiao's voice was low and hoarse, his cold gaze fixed on the red-clad woman: "In this life, I, Yun Xiao, will only pity one woman, but that person is not you."
