"..." A flicker of embarrassment crossed Xuan Gu's eyes before he gave an awkward chuckle. "All right, I won't waste any more breath."

"I'll teach you the Form-Changing Art from the Profound Yin Art now. It's only a superficial imitation of the original, but it should still be enough to fool anyone's senses in this world. Even this world's so-called gods might not see through it."

"Listen to yourself. I've already died twice. Would I really be foolish enough to turn against you?" Xuan Gu wore an expression that said Lin Yuan had misunderstood him.
