"What?" Li Muqing's expression changed at once upon hearing this.
"A little prodigy at the Golden Core Realm? How could that be possible? This mask was personally forged by my master—even Human Emperor-level experts cannot see through it..." Li Muqing looked at Chen Fan, unable to believe it.
Dugu Ghost Sword shook her head slightly and gave a cold smile. In a deep voice, she said, "At first, I thought the same. But just now, I truly had the feeling of being seen through. And though this little prodigy looks utterly ordinary, a closer look reveals that he is no simple character."
"No simple character?" Li Muqing parted her lips slightly in surprise. This was the first time she had heard those words from Dugu Ghost Sword.
"He possesses a Sword Heart!" Dugu Ghost Sword said coldly.
"A Sword Heart..." Li Muqing was even more astonished. Her beautiful eyes turned toward Chen Fan, filled with disbelief.
Chen Fan stood unobtrusively in a corner of the crowd, but suddenly felt as though someone had fixed their gaze on him. His brows furrowed as his eyes swept toward Li Muqing and Dugu Ghost Sword on the elevated stone platform.
Li Muqing reined in her surprised expression. Instead, she gave Chen Fan a faint smile and lightly nodded at him.
Chen Fan found this rather strange. He had already kept as low a profile as possible; there was no reason for the other party to target him for no cause. The only possibility was that Dugu Ghost Sword had noticed when he had inspected her with the Heavenly Eye Treasure Art.
It seems that until I cultivate this art to great mastery, I cannot use it so casually again! Chen Fan muttered inwardly. He turned and left at once, blending into the crowd.
