The knowing look and smile on the boy's face made Bi Fan's skin crawl. "He didn't hear us, did he?"
Wang Shu couldn't help baring his teeth in a grin. At last, the boy's face had regained some of its youthful spirit. "I wonder whether this beauty will be a kindred spirit or a calamity."
Bi Fan was at a loss for words. Sure enough, Wang Shu had found out. But wasn't his soul cultivation lower than Bi Fan's? How had he managed to eavesdrop on their conversation?
Wang Shu grinned impishly, showing no intention of explaining. He cleared his throat, his expression growing more serious, and said in a low voice, "By the way, you and that girl called Xiao Xiao had better not get involved with each other."
He gave a wry smile and nodded. "I know."
More than one person had already told him that. Perhaps that was exactly why he had deliberately avoided taking a good look at the relationship between the two of them.
When it came down to it, anyone with eyes could see something was off. How could he not know it himself?
Quietly gathering his thoughts, Bi Fan knew that his most urgent task was still to improve his strength and cultivation. At the very least, he needed to be capable of earning those people's respect and favor. Only then would he have the freedom to choose.
He sat cross-legged, and the cultivation method for Bodhi Divine Sense surfaced once more from his Sea of Soul. He believed that this art, created by the Giant God Ranking's foremost soul cultivator, would become his deepest-hidden trump card!
Time passed quickly during cultivation. In the blink of an eye, dusk had fallen. Bi Fan wearily withdrew his Soul Power and slowly opened his eyes.
