To tell the truth, when Gao Xing had suddenly exposed his identity just now, Wu Tao really had been startled.
But after hearing Gao Xing's explanation, he learned that it had actually been his master, Wen Xingrui, who told Gao Xing his true identity.
Wu Tao's mind was clear and perceptive. With a single turn of thought, he understood why his master Wen Xingrui had told Gao Xing his true identity. Back when they were in the Ethereal Void Sect's Artifact Refining Hall, Wu Tao had been very close to artifact refiners such as Gao Xing, Fan Zhifeng, and Zhao Zhen.
Gao Xing had also taken very good care of Wu Tao.
The reason his master Wen Xingrui had only told Gao Xing his true identity, and not Zhao Zhen, Fan Zhifeng, and the others, was only one thing: Senior Brother Gao's lifespan was about to run out. If he was not told, he might never have another chance to see Wu Tao.
This would not only have been Gao Xing's regret, but Wu Tao's regret as well.
"Master truly considered everything for me. Telling Senior Brother Gao my true identity is fine too. Senior Brother Gao won't deliberately spread my identity around."
As for Gao Xing's character, Wu Tao was still very much at ease.
Although he was now a Tier 3 Advanced Artifact Refiner, a Nascent Body Body Cultivator equivalent to a Nascent Soul True Lord among Spell Cultivators, and would also soon achieve true Nascent Soul True Lord status and become a true Tier 4 Low-Level Artifact Refiner, when facing Gao Xing, Wu Tao still sincerely and wholeheartedly addressed Gao Xing as Senior Brother. A person could not forget his roots. This was Wu Tao's principle.
Anyone who had treated him well when he was weak—Wu Tao
