He Pingsheng's pupils contracted slightly.
He knew the person who had come.
Linglong!
A disciple of Uncle-Master Jade Virtue!
Back when he had still been a menial servant, this very Linglong had come demanding answers, insisting that he was responsible for the deterioration of the spring water. As a result, Boss Zhang had given him a savage beating.
Whatever else might be said, Linglong had been responsible for that beating.
But that hardly mattered. It had only been a beating.
What mattered was that this same venomous woman had beaten his senior brother Hao Yun, then killed him.
It had all been her doing.
And now she had the nerve to come asking me to refine pills?
"What's wrong? Gone stupid?" Linglong asked, looking at He Pingsheng.
Clearly, she had not recognized him.
Whether in appearance, age, or bearing, He Pingsheng was now worlds apart from the half-grown boy he had been.
It was only natural that she did not recognize him.
As for his name, Linglong had never even known what that menial servant was called.
He Pingsheng dispensed with courtesy. He extended his Divine Sense from his mind and swept it forcefully over Linglong.
Tenth level of the Qi Refining Stage!
He sucked in a sharp breath...
So strong!
Her cultivation was so high.
"Oh..." A teasing smile touched Linglong's lips. "What's this? Secretly sweeping your Divine Sense over your senior sister..."
"Did you think I was pretty and want a peek at my body?"
Her eyes shimmered as she stared at He Pingsheng.
Yet He Pingsheng's expression remained as still as water. He calmly cupped his hands. "My apologies. I instinctively wanted to check your cultivation, Senior Sister. I hadn't expected it to be so profound that a sixth-level Qi Refining disciple like me couldn't probe it!"
