Bi Fan smiled without saying a word.
Hua Xuerong took Bi Fan's silence as agreement. She gazed at him in disbelief, seemingly unable to imagine that someone so young could not only possess such high cultivation, but also have reached the fifth rank as a Formation Master.

Hua Xuerong looked up sharply,
