"Reincarnation debts? What are those? Why would you say that, senior brother?"
Chu Mo looked at Baoyun with feigned bewilderment.
Baoyun's expression faltered slightly. Watching Chu Mo put on an act, he could not help cursing inwardly. This fellow clearly did not cultivate [Wondrous True Being] and had merely spent some time in Harmony Truth, so how had he become such a shameless rogue?
