Night fell. Inside an unknown cave, Qin Jishi sat facing Xuanyuan Xiangrui. The two watched the bonfire before them, neither knowing what the other was thinking.

A moment later!

Xuanyuan Xiangrui broke the silence. "Brother Qin, I have always had a question. Why do I always feel that you are so familiar with the Starlight Secret Realm?"

From beginning to end, Qin Jishi had given Xuanyuan Xiangrui the impression that he always knew where danger lay.

Xuanyuan Xiangrui did not believe Qin Jishi possessed some Exotic Treasure that could foresee danger.

At those words!

Qin Jishi did not answer directly, merely smiling. "When your state of mind reaches a state of lucid emptiness, I think you will be able to do the same."

A state of lucid emptiness?

Xuanyuan Xiangrui blinked, puzzled. "What do you mean, Brother Qin?"

Qin Jishi kept smiling. "Young Master Xiangrui, some people always feel themselves unmatched by anyone, believing that they can easily resolve any danger through their formidable strength. Such confidence is understandable, but they often overlook the arrival of unknown dangers."

Overlook the arrival of unknown dangers?

Xuanyuan Xiangrui seemed to understand something, yet also seemed to understand nothing.

Qin Jishi merely smiled without speaking. Such matters could only be understood through one's own efforts.

Still, he believed that with Xuanyuan Xiangrui's talent, he would understand the meaning of those words one day.

The two fell silent for a moment before Xuanyuan Xiangrui spoke again.

"Brother Qin, just how high has your strength reached?"

Since Qin Jishi could easily suppress an eighth-level Ice Yi Leopard, Xuanyuan Xiangrui would never believe that Qin Jishi's strength stopped there.

For geniuses, all believed themselves to be the strongest among their peers.

Especially a genius like Xuanyuan Xiangrui—wherever he went, he was the center of countless gazes.
