Though Qin Hao withdrew his aura in an instant, Mu Ziqing and Ao Xiner still felt it.
"Qin Hao, what happened?" Mu Ziqing's heart tightened, and worry flashed across her face.
"Is it because of Kang Yihou?" Ao Xiner frowned slightly. She knew Qin Hao would contact Kang Yihou, but she did not know how.
"It has nothing to do with Kang Yihou. It's a personal matter." Qin Hao shook his head and looked at the two women.
The worry on Mu Ziqing's and Ao Xiner's faces did not fade.
"Don't worry. It's nothing serious." Qin Hao gave a rueful laugh, knowing Second Daughter was worried about him.
Only then did Mu Ziqing and Ao Xiner relax a little.
"Come on. Let's head down the mountain first."
Qin Hao led Mu Ziqing and Ao Xiner down the mountain. He planned to return to his Cultivation Courtyard first, then find time to visit the Azure Li Lord.
He had already heard from Mu Ziqing and Ao Xiner what had happened at the Elder Council. Their information, of course, had come from Kang Yihou.
Now that the Azure Li Lord had returned, Qin Hao certainly had to pay her a visit and offer his congratulations.
As the three walked and talked, Qin Hao learned that Mu Ziqing and Ao Xiner had handed over the Spirit Dragon Fruit after returning to the Sect Headquarters.
Thanks to the three Spirit Dragon Fruits Qin Hao had brought back, the Inner Gate had determined, after a comprehensive Assessment, that Mu Ziqing and Ao Xiner had passed their entrance trial. Both had now advanced into the Inner Gate.
They had not yet decided which peak to choose, however.
As Qin Hao led Mu Ziqing and Ao Xiner away, elsewhere...
The Fourth Floor of the Supreme Sword Tower!
