CHAPTER 373: CHAPTER 331: A MEETING LIKE OLD FRIENDS

Song Muyang was also wearing a pair of large sunglasses, dressed in a very retro motorcycle leather jacket, jeans, and those heavy military boots on his feet.

The whole outfit was styled in a retro tough guy manner. His thick eyebrows, tiger eyes, tall stature, broad shoulders, and thick back all matched well with his appearance and temperament.

Song Muyang’s face was somber when he questioned, naturally exuding the authority of a superior.

The inherent air of supremacy and confidence overflowed from his bones, not just a natural trait but a demeanor cultivated through years of issuing commands.

If we were to compare it to ancient times, it would be the so-called aura of a king. Every word and action had the power to captivate people’s hearts. Heroes and warriors could hardly resist but bow down in adoration.

The members of the Golden Bull University Sword Team all changed colors; they had just disembarked from the spaceship, and someone was already looking for Gao Xuan for revenge?

Some couldn’t help but secretly feel pleased, thinking if Gao Xuan had been showing off, now was his time to face trouble, right?

However, Lan Tiange, who had just had her heart broken by Gao Xuan, couldn’t help but worry and feel anxious for him.

Head coach Ji Xiuying frowned deeply; she knew Song Muyang. He was the leading figure of the younger generation of the Great Song Family.

The Great Song Family was the largest noble family in the Beidou Star Realm and could be considered the ruling entity of the Beidou Star Realm.

In terms of status, the Great Song Family was also one of the twelve golden bloodlines. But over the past several thousand years, the power of the Song Family had been in constant decline, which is why they could only hold onto the Beidou Star Realm.

Even so, the Song Family was a well-known, powerful family within the Alliance. The Xiao Family couldn’t compare, and even Hercules was far behind.

Song Muyang, as a representative of the younger generation of the Song Family, was said to be bold and generous, with a clear sense of right and wrong, quite different from the traditional nature of the Song Family.

There’s even a rumor that Song Muyang had already become a Golden Sword Saint.

If Song Muyang were to make things difficult for Gao Xuan, then it would be a huge trouble!

Ji Xiuying was anxious, but there was nothing she could do. She was merely a low-tier Silver Sword Hero, unqualified to speak in the presence of someone like Song Muyang.

This is the sadness of small places. Even if you want to find someone to help, there’s no such connection.

Gao Xuan, however, remained calm. He nodded and said, "Talos died on Sea Dragon Star. If you insist on putting that on me, then so be it."

Hercules had already made peace with the Odin Clan, so Gao Xuan naturally couldn’t directly admit to having killed Talos. That would be a slap in the face to Hercules.

However, he didn’t see the need to completely deny it either.

If someone wants to cause trouble, it doesn’t make sense to shirk responsibility. Talos also had a brother named Hodder who still wanted revenge.

Song Muyang took off his sunglasses, revealing eyes as golden and fierce as a tiger, with a deep and cold gaze.

Without even activating his Source Power, the aura he released was enough to dominate the entire scene.

The group from the Golden Bull University Sword Team all couldn’t help but lower their heads and avert their eyes; no one dared look directly at Song Muyang.

Even Ji Xiuying couldn’t withstand Song Muyang’s pressure and lowered her head.

Among the crowd, only Gao Xuan remained nonchalant. Yun Qingshang, standing behind Gao Xuan, coldly looked at Song Muyang, her hand already on her sword hilt.

Song Muyang, seeing Gao Xuan still standing so steadily without showing any fear, couldn’t help but admire his courage.

This youth wasn’t just exceptionally handsome, but his courage and determination were not to be underestimated either.

Song Muyang suddenly laughed heartily, reached out and forcefully patted Gao Xuan on the shoulder, "You have spirit, you’re a tough guy. I like it."

Gao Xuan said calmly, "So, you’re not here for revenge."

"Talos was indeed my classmate, but I disliked him the most. His face was eerie like a zombie’s. You did well to kill him. Hearing of his death, I drank three large cups in joy," Song Muyang said cheerfully.

"I heard you were here, so I came to take a look. You’re indeed a hero, extraordinary. Tonight I’m hosting a dinner for you! You must come!"

Song Muyang proactively exchanged contact information with Gao Xuan and then casually turned to leave.

After walking just a few steps, a group of people silently followed him.

A crowd gathered around Song Muyang, surrounding him imposingly.

There were many travelers coming and going through the terminal, but Song Muyang walked tall and proud, and the people parted to the sides wherever he went.

The dense crowd was thus forcefully split open into a path.

Watching Song Muyang depart, Ji Xiuying let out a long breath. She was really too tense just now.

Luckily, luckily, Song Muyang hadn’t come to cause trouble.

Lan Tiange, hiding beside Lan Tianshou, looked very unhappy. She now regretted why she didn’t have the courage to stand beside Gao Xuan earlier.

Once it was all over, it was too late to say anything.

Lan Tiange suddenly understood Gao Xuan’s words; his brilliance was so overwhelming it could hurt others.

Indeed, she wasn’t qualified to stand beside Gao Xuan. She couldn’t solve problems for him and couldn’t even bear such enormous pressure.

Ultimately, she was just a girl. She pursued sweet and joyful love, not real-life struggles.

Gao Xuan, however, didn’t care about the reactions of those around him, and he didn’t even care about Song Muyang.

The other was just a low-tier Golden Sword Saint. Stronger than Shao Daoyuan, but that’s about it.

His 38-point Spiritual Power was more than enough to crush the opponent. His Constitution, agility, and Power were certainly not inferior.

His total Source Power of four million degrees was at least twice as strong as Song Muyang’s.

After three hundred years of accumulation in the Mythical World, with the visualization of the Thunder Divine Monarch and the mastery of Water Heaven Sword, his skills and awareness had reached the pinnacle. The Golden Life transformation completed by Song Muyang held no advantage compared to him.

It’s not that Song Muyang was weak; it’s that he was just too strong.

Of course, the Song Family is the local authority on Taiwei Star, wielding formidable power. Not easy to provoke.

Gao Xuan doesn’t despise such power. Their ancestors laid a strong foundation, built up over generations, there’s nothing to say about that.

Without necessity, Gao Xuan would not conflict with Song Muyang either.

From start to finish, Gao Xuan maintained a calm demeanor. Neither angry at provocation nor pleased at enthusiasm from the other side.

Since his rebirth, Gao Xuan hadn’t quite rid himself of the assassin’s mindset and state. Though he gained vision, his temperament was always a bit short, making him somewhat impatient and overly impulsive.

Only now has Gao Xuan achieved a heart as deep as the sea, unfathomable, immeasurable.

Whether it’s storms or landslides, for him, they are merely ripples. This is the mindset and temperament he honed over three hundred years.

Song Muyang vaguely sensed this temperament in Gao Xuan, and he couldn’t help but be amazed.

It’s one thing for Gao Xuan’s swordsmanship talent to be peerless. After all, talent is something beyond reason.

But for Gao Xuan to possess such temperament requires numerous trials to achieve. It’s unlikely to be innate.

Song Muyang stepped out of the airport terminal, and a pair of attractive young men and women were waiting by the motorcade.

Seeing Song Muyang emerge, the woman curiously asked, "So, did you scare that guy to death?"

"Song Yunxi, you’re underestimating people."

Song Muyang shook his head, laughing, "You really should have come with me. That kid is a remarkable character."

Thinking of Gao Xuan’s performance, he praised again, "Truly remarkable."

Song Yunxi, seeing that Song Muyang wasn’t joking, was a bit surprised, "Isn’t he only nineteen? How remarkable can he be?"

"Great at charming girls."

Song Muyang chuckled, "Lucky you didn’t go, or you’d surely have been captivated by that kid."

"Pfft, do you think I’m that naïve?"

Song Yunxi arrogantly said, "Those chasing me line up from Taiwei Star all the way to Dubhe Star!"

The other young man, Miao Xifeng, was dismissive, "The Twelve Star Domain doesn’t even have a single Golden Sword Saint, what talent can they have."

"Brother Mu Yang was teasing you, don’t take it seriously."

Song Muyang corrected, "I’m not joking. Gao Xuan is truly, truly outstanding."

Miao Xifeng was a bit unconvinced, "Brother Mu Yang, what special abilities does Gao Xuan have that make you immediately see he’s extraordinary."

Song Muyang said amusedly, "If you don’t believe me, I’ll invite him to dinner tonight, you can join us."

"Dinner invitation? Then I definitely have to attend."

Miao Xifeng was genuinely a bit surprised this time.

Song Muyang, being sociable and liking to make friends, often did things in a whimsical manner. It was often hard to get a read on him. Like visiting Gao Xuan this time was for a completely inexplicable reason.

Song Muyang was sociable, but few caught his eye. Inviting a stranger to dinner was quite uncommon.

"I’ll go tonight too. I want to see what kind of immortal he is." Song Yunxi was also interested.

"This kid is a lady-killer, you better not go."

Song Muyang was deeply impressed by Gao Xuan’s looks; a man appearing like that is a lady-killer.

His cousin, although proud, is ultimately just an ordinary person at heart. She would definitely be smitten by Gao Xuan’s looks.

Song Yunxi didn’t believe it, "The more you say that, the more I want to see how many heads he has."

"Alright."

Song Muyang said it casually, knowing he couldn’t stop Song Yunxi. Besides, she was also going to participate in the Sword Dao Finals this year and would definitely meet Gao Xuan.

Song Muyang wasn’t the type to worry unnecessarily about others. Whether Song Yunxi liked Gao Xuan or not was her own affair.

She was already an adult, with her own judgment and life.

That evening, Song Muyang personally drove to Xinghai Mansion to pick up Gao Xuan.

Xinghai Mansion, a seven-star super luxury hotel, was also one of the sponsors for this Sword Dao Finals. All sixty-four participating teams would be staying at Xinghai Mansion.

When Gao Xuan arrived at the hotel lobby, he immediately noticed Song Muyang standing with his hands behind his back at the entrance.

Gao Xuan was a bit surprised that someone as high-ranking and powerful, a Golden Sword Saint like Song Muyang, was willing to wait for him in the lobby. Whether it was posturing or genuinely his disposition, it was impressive.

"Mr. Song personally picking me up, I’m flattered." Gao Xuan smiled and greeted courteously with cupped hands.

"We hit it off at first meeting, no need to be formal."

Song Muyang robustly said, "Brother, if you don’t mind, you can call me Brother Song."

"Are we really that congenial?"

Gao Xuan thought to himself, but given the other’s enthusiasm, he figured it didn’t hurt to call him Brother Song.

"Then I’ll take the liberty, Brother Song."

"Hahahaha, I just like your free-spirited style. That’s how a man should be."

Song Muyang seemed very pleased, "Today we’re having a Fire Dragon banquet. I have a few friends I’d like you to meet..."
