Chapter 173: Ch-172: Sect Leader

*Scritch Scritch*

*Bzzt*

*Bubble*

*Tnng*

Amidst such noises, the door to Rio's room opened, and he naturally turned to look at who had entered his room.

There stood a bald man with a white goatee sporting dark blue robes, revealing his bulging muscles and well-built body.

"W-what happened here?"

The words escaped the bald man as soon as he entered the room and looked at its dilapidated condition.

'This... how could this be?'

The man felt his heart bleed and ache at the damned state of the room he had built with his all. What once filled him with pride lay riddled with cracks; how could it not hurt?

"Master Qiao! What happened to you? Please come to your senses!" Jian exclaimed as he tried to console the bald man and held him by the shoulders to prevent him from collapsing.

'Interesting,' thought Rio as he looked at the scene.
