——(POV third person)——
"I didn\'t think I would find the bright star of the Li Family, Li Huang here!" when Li Huang heard this, he thought that it was simple flattery and nothing more but when he saw who was saying it, he knew it was anything but that.
The smile on the face that was looking right at Li Huang was a well-trained one as you would think it to be genuine if you didn\'t know enough people or you didn\'t know about the identity of the person who was smiling at Li Huang.
"I have heard many great things about you, young master Li Huang." The man continued without waiting for Li Huang\'s reaction. Li Huang was not surprised at this as he knew that he was trying to show his superiority by controlling the flow of the conversation.
Li Huang too put on his best business smile and nodded.
"I too have heard many things about you, young master Xu Xian." Li Huang said with no hostility in his tone, the hostility was in his words.
"I am flattered." Xu Xian said as if he couldn\'t understand what Li Huang meant with his words.
"I can\'t help but be a little curious about what you have heard about me. I hope you can share this with me." He continued and said so with a humble tone in his voice.
"Of course." Li Huang nodded and said.
——(Flashback)——
Li Huang was sitting on a chair with almost no strength left in his body as this was just an hour after grandpa Long\'s training. Hearing a small noise he opened his eyes and smiled a little. The small noise that he heard was not made accidentally and could be considered a knock from the other party.
"Welcome uncle, how have you been?" Li Huang asked with sincerity. He knew that Aram too most have been working tirelessly to try and locate this so-called [Fire Cult] and its members.
Aram too could see that Li Huang didn\'t have much strength after his training so he too didn\'t try to bicker with him as they usually did and answered him.
"I can say that I have definitely been better…" Aram sighed deeply as he sat down on the chair that Li Huang had readied for him.
Li Huang laughed a little. For someone like Aram who was the one who knew almost everything it sure was frustrating to find not one lead to the fire cult that was operating in the divine central continent, right under his nose.
What Aram didn\'t know was that the fire cult have removed almost all their operatives in the divine central continent as Aram started leaving no stone unturned in the whole continent. As this was the biggest information-gathering organization it didn\'t seem weird to the fire cult that he was going to destroy the competitor.
"I think you too had better days." Aram said as he didn\'t like the fact that Li Huang was laughing at his misfortune.
"What are you talking about uncle? I have never been this good." Li Huang said as he was pointing to his cultivation and power, not his body\'s condition.
Aram just rolled his eyes at Li Huang\'s sly remark.
After a few seconds of silence, Li Huang opened his mouth.
"…Uncle, who should I be wary of in the Xu family?" Li Huang asked the main question that he wanted uncle Aram to answer.
Aram looked at Li Huang a little. He didn\'t want to put his friend\'s child in danger but he knew that in this world, even death can\'t guarantee that you are out of danger.
He took an information jade out of his storage ring and floated it to Li Huang.
"This information jade contains the details about the most dangerous people in the Xu family, examine it carefully." Uncle Aram said sternly and Li Huang nodded.
"Now listen carefully, there are six people in the family that are strong enough that you should run even before you sense their presence." Aram didn\'t sugarcoat his words and Li Huang too wasn\'t delusional enough to think that he was somehow strong enough to take them on. This was something that Li Long and others from the family should do.
"I have put some more information on each and every one of them in the information jade so that you can even know their habits, this way you will know where to avoid less they appear there." Uncle Aram further explained. He also included life-like images for each important figure so that Li Huang would have an easier time detecting them in the crowd.
These images were created with the aid of a formation that has been created a few years back by the brightest talent of the world in the art of formations, Huili who is said to have a mysterious physique that allowed them to challenge the world-renown formation masters and win every time. No one knows this Huili as the other formation masters are always protecting them.
Every once in a while a groundbreaking innovation would surface that was created by none other than Huili, Formation art\'s grandmaster. Grandmaster is not only an empty title as only one person in the world could have it. If anyone would call themselves with such a title, it is deemed as a challenge for the title. Huili didn\'t challenge for this title and the previous holder of this title gave this title to Huili of his own volition. The only thing that is clear about Huili is that he/she is only a teenager and this is why the other masters are so protective when it comes to them. Well, no one wants to offend the ones who create all the formations in the continent so this wish is respected and not even the floating mask would risk angering them for such useless information.
The formation for taking pictures worked in a relatively simple way when you compared it to something grand like a defensive formation or the formation that controls the eternal wail trial.
The person had to stand in front of this formation and the formation would catch the reflection of the light that was coming back from the body. After that, the formation would sort the reflections into different colors based on the strength of the reflection and now the formation had the image recreated but there was no physical representation for it.
For this Huili used multiple storage rings that contained different colors and based on the detected color, the formation would splash a bit of that color from the storage ring onto a canvas and this is it, you have an image that is just like the real thing.
"I don\'t think they would send them to abduct you but it would be wise to be ready for such possibility." Aram said and started talking about the 6 people that were the biggest threats in the Xu family.
…
"In the younger generation, there are 3 who could prove a challenge and have a bigger possibility to come after you." Aram said after he was done talking about those six\'s habits and moves.
"They are Xu Gang, Xu Shu, and Xu Xian." Aram continued, "From these three, Xu Gang is the most powerful, Xu Shu is the most cunning, and Xu Xian is the most vicious." He said and waited for Li Huang\'s reaction.
"Is the one from that time in the Resha city still around?" Li Huang asked as uncle Aram didn\'t give him a name at that time. He was talking about the young master who was the cause for Jin Fen\'s departure from the Resha city and finding the martial art that gave him more power and a parasite in his soul.
Aram nodded and opened his mouth.
"He is. He is Xu Xian." Aram said.
——(Back in the present)——
"I have heard about how you recently subjugated a bandit group in the Raa mountains," Li Huang said and Xu Xian\'s smile brightened, "I have also heard how you have single-handedly defeated a giant mountain bear there." Li Huang said. He didn\'t miss a single piece of information from the information jade that uncle Aram gave him so it was only natural for him to know all of this about Xu Xian.
"Haha, young master Li Huang, you seem to know quite a bit about me." Xu Xian said with a smile.
"But of course, I have known about young master Xu Xian\'s moves from that time in the Resha city." Li Huang said with the brightest smile that he could muster and watched how Xu Xian\'s face changed.
