Lord Shou?

Did Bazhun’an just call him Lord Shou?

“Startled, Passive Points, +1.”

Not only did Xu Xiaoshou jump in surprise, but everyone around was also baffled by this address.

This was too absurd!

Xu Xiaoshou was known for his eccentricities and occasional bouts of Exploding Posture and Berserk Giant in mid-conversation.

Yet, witnessing his moments of silliness repeatedly, everyone could only begrudgingly come to terms with it.

People could understand when he referred to himself as Young Master Xu, but for Bazhun’an to address him as “Lord Shou”…

What was going on in his mind?

Everyone had the immediate urge to laugh.

However, when they looked at Bazhun’an, despite the awl«vardness and bizarreness, his words carried a hint of sincerity.

He played the fool, but there was an element of truth!

“What… what did you say…”

Xu Xiaoshou struggled to contain his emotions.

His lips slightly curved upward, but he felt that it was compromising his dignity. So, he stared at the “Shou” command token with a twitching face, struggling to regain composure.

“I said…”

Bazhun’an chuckled, waved the token in his hand, and said, “Lord Shou, I have prepared your command token. If you accept now, the position of the second-in-command saint servant is yours.”

Second in command!

The second utterance of “Lord Shou” extinguished the peculiar expressions on everyone’s faces, and the words “second-in-command” left everyone in awe.

Water Ghost’s face froze.

Xiao Kongtong couldn’t close his mouth.

Zhu Yike, in the back, felt dizzy, gazing at Lord Shou and the legendary figure who addressed him with such reverence, akin to a mortal beholding a true dragon.

Even the tiny white weasel, Elder Han, perched on Lei Xi’er’s palm, had an expression of disbelief.

He had listened to Lord Shou talk about his relationship with Bazhun’an in the Zhen Huang Palace, but he never expected reality to be more shocking than the tales.

Bazhun’an, addressing him as “Lord Shou,” and using the position of “second in command” as leverage—all just to bind Xu Xiaoshou?

While the address had an element of humor, who else in the world could make Bazhun’an use such whimsical and peculiar tones and address someone so respectfully?

Xu Xiaoshou, the person in question, reached out, and his hand trembled slightly. It was embarrassing, and he quickly suppressed it.

He had heard Bazhun’an clearly, and though he controlled his hand, his lips involuntarily stretched toward his ears.

It was him!

Bazhun’an!

Xu Xiaoshou could mock and criticize him, but he fully acknowledged Bazhun’an’s achievements.

Even in the duel with Xiao Kongtong, facing an imposter, he had seen how extraordinary Bazhun’an was in his prime.

Such a figure, even if scrutinized, Xu Xiaoshou could only find minor flaws like breathing.

Bazhun’an was only a step away from becoming a true legend!

His demise would likely turn the Ten Sections of the Finger Sword into a lost divine skill, studied fervently by future generations just to comprehend sword cognition.

Not to mention his personal saber, Sword Observation Manual, and his unparalleled application of various sword techniques.

And now, this formidable figure invited him to join the Saint Servants, taking the position of Elder Sang as second-in-command, above Water Ghost…

“Hey… ahem, well!”

“What? What did you say? I didn’t quite catch that?”

Xu Xiaoshou cleared his throat and inquired seriously, muscles on his face twitching.

While outwardly calm, his cheek muscles kept convulsing. He could only conceal the spasms using “Transformation” to prevent any visible expression.

This was really shameless!

Once or twice was understandable, but thrice seemed a bit too much.

This time, even the white weasel with a shrunken brain could see that Lord Shou was pretending to be clueless, clearly addicted to hearing the title.

Yet, Bazhun’an, like a fool, seemed oblivious to everything, and with a slight smile, he patiently said, “Do I need to say it a fourth time, Lord Shou?” “Hehehe…” Xu Xiaoshou couldn’t hold back his giggles, turning to look at his junior sister, “I originally intended to reject him…”

Lei Xi’er caught a glimpse of Xu Xiaoshou’s cheap smile and couldn’t help but chuckle, “You could do that.”

“But he’s so sincere!”

Three calls of Lord Shou in public…

Who could resist that?

If it were Water Ghost, he would probably say, “Alright, no need for an answer; I’ll help you for free this time!”

Turning to Bazhun’an again, Xu Xiaoshou felt that this old man was quite handsome, even his hazy eyes exuded the charm of a mature man.

However, he reminded himself not to be swayed. Controlling the smile on his face, he resumed his calm demeanor.

“I should refuse you, to be honest…”

“I am the Tower Master of the First Pavilion in the Sky. Becoming your second-in-command would be lowering my status…”

“No, no, no,” Bazhun’an waved his hand, interrupting with a smile, “You misunderstood me, Lord Shou.”

Damn, he had to stop calling him that… Xu Xiaoshou’s lips curved, almost agreeing directly, but he forced down the corner of his mouth.

Bazhun’an continued, “The First Pavilion in the Sky has already separated and stands independently, noble and dignified.”

“Like Sleeveless and me, we will cooperate in the future as equals.”

“I won’t give you orders, nor will you take them, as you won’t be obedient anymore. We’ll discuss, plan, and allocate tasks together. No one is superior to the other.”

After a pause, Bazhun’an’s face revealed a strange and playful expression once again..
