Ancestral Patriarch Hewi discovered the True Adept's Divine Thought, so that person could no longer keep hiding. "Junior Yuan Hao pays his respects to Senior."
"Yuan Hao? I've heard of you." Hewi put on the airs of an Ancestral Patriarch. "What are you doing here?"
"This young friend wishes to check on a junior of the sect who is in seclusion," Yuan Hao's Divine Thought replied. "He is worried about the secluded cultivator's safety, but this is improper. He is explaining himself."
"Yuan Hao... I remember now," Hewi's Divine Thought said. "Wasn't your Dao Foundation destroyed?"
No need to slap him in the face like that! True Adept Yuan Hao fell silent, only replying after a while, "It has mostly recovered."
Hewi, however, carried himself like an Ancestral Patriarch, doing exactly as he pleased. The next moment, he asked Feng Jun, "So you were using me as an excuse? You didn't reveal that person's background, did you?"
"Of course I wouldn't dare," Feng Jun replied. He had long known that Jiuling cared greatly about face; even after accepting treatment, Jiuling had not shown any reaction. "I was simply a little worried about my friend, who is in seclusion to break through."
"As long as you didn't reveal it. Otherwise, even I couldn't protect you." With that, Hewi's Divine Thought vanished in an instant, leaving no trace behind.
Feng Jun rolled his eyes and helplessly spread his hands at Immortal Shouzhong. "You nearly got me killed."
Immortal Shouzhong was not buying it. "If I spread word that you care about Yi Jue's seclusion, that would be truly harming you... Want to try it if you don't believe me?"
Feng Jun hurriedly waved his hands. "Fine, no need to try that... Can I go see her now?"
