Seeking the Dao

Qinghu did not answer Paranoid's question. Instead, she glanced at Old Lady Jia and frowned slightly.

Old Lady Jia had not wanted to meddle as she watched them chat, but that look made her a little dissatisfied.

"Qinghu, your wings have grown hard, huh? What's with that frown?"

Of the three Supremes, she was the only one who knew Qinghu—the other two had been in abnormal states for the past two hundred years.

"You are..." Qinghu frowned again before asking tentatively, "It can't be... are you Senior Shuiqing?"

Old Lady Jia nodded. "Of course. Not just outstanding—she also has the potential to break through to Above Supreme."

"I'm afraid it isn't just potential," Paranoid said thoughtfully as he looked at Qinghu. "She must have had some fortunate encounters too."
