The Crow asked with great interest, "Prince Chen and the Third Prince are fighting for the imperial throne. Which side are you on?"
Xiao Cangsheng said calmly, "I'm staying in the middle."
The Crow curled his lips. "Pedantic."
It was not hard to see that the Crow held Xiao Cangsheng in utter contempt, finding him too pedantic and impoverished in spirit, too hesitant and indecisive in his actions. By contrast, the Crow preferred Lin Bai's ruthless decisiveness—never wavering when it was time to strike, yet never acting rashly when it was not.
About half a day later, Lin Bai awoke from his treatment.
His injuries had not yet fully healed, but his strength had recovered by roughly seventy percent.
It was not that Lin Bai did not want to continue healing. Rather, he had to return to Tianshui Sect as quickly as possible and bring back the news that Heaven and Earth Gate intended to attack Tianshui Sect.
He also had to make the sect severely punish the two traitors, Wu Xiu and Qi Kun.
"Senior." Lin Bai rose with a pale face and walked over to Xiao Cangsheng.
Xiao Cangsheng knew that Lin Bai was worried about Tianshui Sect and desperate to return, so he said, "Let's go. We're setting off."
The carriage had been destroyed, so Xiao Cangsheng could only take a spirit boat out of his Storage Bag. He boarded it with Lin Bai, and the boat soared into the sky.
Standing on the deck,
Lin Bai looked at Xiao Cangsheng, who stood at the bow gazing into the distant scenery, and remained silent.
The Supreme Avatar and Devouring Power had both been exposed before Xiao Cangsheng. Lin Bai had not known Xiao Cangsheng for long, and he had no idea whether this man could be trusted.
