Chen Mu's room, top floor of the hundred-meter ship.
"What's the deal with Old Xu? Does he have a grudge against you?" Chen Mu looked at Yuan Xian curiously.
"There are indeed some minor disputes between us, but no deep enmity," Yuan Xian explained. "He is a guardian of the Spirit Venerable Hall at the Dragon Locking Institute and has mastered countless Netherworld Ghost Patterns. He would be more efficient at teaching you the Crimson-Eyed Ghost Mark."
"Furthermore, although the man is greedy, he is extremely trustworthy. That is why I paid such a high price to hire him."

"Could it be that your identity as a Qi Refining cultivator was exposed?" Yuan Xian's expression abruptly changed.
Chen Mu could not help frowning at that.
According to Yuan Xian, Xu Zhou was no ordinary Dragon Locking Warrior. He might truly have been able to see through the concealment of the Breath-Stopping Supernatural Ability.
"If he really saw through my disguise, why did he still teach me the Crimson-Eyed Ghost Mark?" Chen Mu was puzzled.

Chen Mu's face twitched.

"You are still too kindhearted." Yuan
