I am the best when it comes to taking divergent paths. With just a flip of my hand, I shall take the path less commonly travelled. I search far and wide, only to find myself unbeatable and unrivaled. So now I ask, who else can match my awesomeness? Acting tough is second nature to me and I am a lone wolf. The road is long and winding but I shan’t feel lonely as long as I am able to act tough! Life and death bore me and I do whatever I deem fit. “Young man, way back when I started acting tough, you were still learning how to put on your underpants!” Xu Que thus decided to take the path of acting tough. He decided to act tough every single god-damned day. If he wasn’t acting tough, he was scheming for the best way to act tough!
This was the third time that Xu Que had come to the Jade Lake, and the treatment he received had changed greatly.
In the beginning, he was nearly unable to enter this land's great gate, but the second time, when he came back from the ancient battlefield, he was treated as a noble guest.
This time, however, Xu Que wasn't treated just as a noble guest, but as a mighty senior and a great almighty being. Even Bai Cailing spoke respectfully to Xu Que, let alone the other disciples of the Jade Lake.
Even though Xu Que found this odd, he still didn't reveal his true identity, nor did he ask Bai Cailing to stop acting like this.
Xu Que was clearly aware of what was happening, and he enjoyed it greatly. He seldom had the chance to deceive and intimidate people, so why should he reveal the truth? In any case, his life had always been like this. If he could make a living through deception, wasn't he also a sort of winner?
