"Yo, Little Bai. How have you been?" A lazy looking old man wearing a yellow-colored robe greeted Dai Mubai from outside the window. His hair was fluttering, blown by the wind breeze, and a pipe filled with tobaccos hanged on his mouth.

"Greeting, Grand Elder Lei." Mubai bowed toward the elder, despite his politeness, his mouth keeps twitching. This Elder was one of three Grand Elder of the Sage Temple, He was the youngest and the fastest out of three of them. In his prime, his name was famous on the continent as one of the youngest douluo and the most annoying douluo.

"Yeah yeah, your greeting is not sincere, can't blame you. So, what's up with this Golden Roc thingy?" Grand Elder Lei body was flashed with a yellow light, then not even a second later he was inside Mubai's room. He curiously looking around, his lazy-looking eyes were scrutinizing around, and tobaccos smoke occasionally blown out of his mouth.

Elder Lei's Body flashed again and now he's appeared on Mubai's seat, Mubai could only twitch his mouth in displeasure, but didn't dare to voice out his thought.

'Endure... I will take my revenge once I'm strong enough, then we'll see how much you're able to hold your annoyance. I'll make you taste your own medicine...' Mubai inwardly thought while flashing a sincere smile toward Elder Lei.

"It's nothing, it just me fulfilling my hobby and gain some pocket money. Does anything interest you here, Elder Lei?" Mubai lied straightly through his teeth with a sincerest face he could make.

Elder Lei raised his right hand and rubbed his beardless chin with his middle finger and his bang with his thumb. He took out glasses from the table and wear it, he turned his face toward a big mirror beside him.

"As expected, I'm so handsome wearing an eye-glass. You will give me this eye-glass, right? Thank you." With his current appearance, he looked like Borsalino a.k.a Kizaru from One-piece, Only with white-colored hair and facial hair instead of black and Chinese style robe instead of his Admiral coat.

"Little Bai, do you have any idea why the people from Spirit Hall looking for you?" Elder Lei Asked while he still posed in front of a mirror, his thick lips curled into something that looks like a smile yet not a smile, he combs his hair with a smug look on his face. 'As expected from the handsome me,' that's what could be blatantly seen on his face.

"I wish that I know, but unfortunately, I don't. But, from the looks of it, it's not something trivial if they bring along a titled douluo." Mubai decided to ignore Elder Lei narcissism and answered in a cordial tone.

"Hoo~ then we will have to find out, I will join you when you meet them, I will wait for you below." Elder Lei then walked out of the room and descended through the stair.

When Mubai saw that Elder Lei was out of sight, he opened a cabinet and took out another eye-glass and wore it. He approached the mirror beside his table then observing his reflection, after several moments, he nodded.

"Hmm, no doubt I'm the most handsome person ever exist. Haah~ Many women are bound to be heart-broken to not be able having me as their Man. Such a pity, too handsome itself is a sin."

He put the eye-glass back inside the cabinet and walked out of the room to catch up with Elder Lei below.

...

"Lookie here, what do we have~ Houhouhou, The Snake Lance Douluo, She Long."

Inside one of the main guest room, there were four people seated, two junior and two senior. One of the senior was leaning leisurely on the couch with a mock amused face showed, he has a sleek white hair with a bang reached until his lower cheek. While the other one has spiky white hair, he has a deep scar over his left eye and has tattoos on both of his arms, he shows off his well-built body whilst only clad in cross-shaped bandages on the upper body, a bottle gourd was seen on his hand.

"You've got a tattoo now? Woah, it's scary. See, my body hairs are all standing and shivering." Elder Lei raised his hand and rolled his sleeves to shows his hairy arms to the person in front of him.

"Cut the chit-chat, just seeing your face already makes me annoyed to no end. Young Lady, just states our purpose here and be done with it." She Long coldly stared at Elder Lei, he clenched the gourd on his hand hard.

"Houhouhou, don't be like that, we're an old pal. Aren't we? I even kindly leave my mark on your mediocre face, it's a beautiful masterpiece."

"Just start the talk already!" A heavy pressure fell inside the room, the atmosphere was tense, and just like gunpowder, it only needs a little spark for it to be ignited into a full-blown explosion.

"Don't be like that, you're looking for my Mubai, he too could be counted as my disciple. Could it be you want to take a fruit but not ask the farmer?" [1]

The pressure was diffused, it's gone as soon as it came.

"My name is Qian Renxue, and I come here to-"

"Easy Easy little girl, don't be hasty. We have all the time in the world what's the rush?"

Just as Qian Renxue was about to talk, elder Lei cut her speech abruptly. She was speechless, what's with this elder? Who is he anyway? It seems like Elder She Long knows him.

"Cut the bullcrap, Tie Leimang, why the fvck you are hell-bent on provoking me?" She Long gritted his teeth hard, veins popped out of his head, and his eyes blood-shot.

"Hmm? Why are you slandering me, She Long? Your words hurt me..."

"FVCK YOU!" Can't hold his anger, She Long banged his bottle gourd onto the table and summoned his martial spirit. He intended to intimidate Elder Lei and fix him from his annoying attitude.

At least that was what he intended to do. But when he blinked his eyes a bit, Elder Lei, Tie Leimang was nowhere to be seen.

"Sit sit, why are you always acted like this? Your blood pressure won't hold it, it's bad for your health. Moreover..." The next moment he realizes that Elder Lei was behind him, leaning on his back with one hand on his shoulder.

'He truly deserves his title, I forgot... the Blink-Not, Light Speed Douluo, Tie Leimang...' cold sweat trickled on She Long's back. The scar on his face felt as if it was burned.

"...it's possible if you're so hotblooded like that, my hand might slip and... you know the rest." A hand patted She Long's cheek twice, then suddenly Elder Lei appeared on his previous location, seated while inhaling smoke from his tobacco pipe as if nothing happened in the first place.

'Right, he is Light Speed Douluo, the one who defeated me single-handedly. I got conceited with my increase in strength and forgot that... He's used to slaughtering the whole four archbishops of the spirit hall as a joke.'

A gulping sound could be heard amidst the deafening silent inside the room.

"So, may I know your business here? And for what purpose you're looking for me?" A voice breaks the tense atmosphere, Mubai as the one who was the source of the voice, smiled to ease the awkwardness that hung in the air.

'It's enough old man, I'm the main character here. Why are you the one with the most dialogue?' Mubai inwardly thought while shooting a glance at Elder Lei which interpreted differently by every person in the room.
