At that moment, the Lan Yue Tower, which had previously been bustling with geniuses from all walks of life, suddenly became desolate.
Only the host, Elder Lan Yue, Huang Xiaolong, Duanmu Wei, and some of the Lan Yue Tower's servants and maidservants remained.
The atmosphere was indeed bleak.
"Ah~" Huang Xiaolong laughed awkwardly with a touch of embarrassment and scratched his head as he said to Elder Lan Yue, "Elder Lan Yue, I'm not actually afraid of offending those geniuses."
"Hahaha~~ Young man, you really are amusing. Those geniuses, each more formidable than the last, with strong backers, and you've managed to offend all of them, making yourself a public enemy, are you truly not afraid?" Elder Lan Yue showed no sign of disappointment, seemingly indifferent to the departure of all the geniuses, because his interest in Huang Xiaolong had grown even stronger!
To put it simply, his interest in Huang Xiaolong had surpassed the total of all the geniuses that had just left!
