A gentle breeze blew, and in the silence, even the rustling leaves sounded so loud.
Chu Xingchen stared blankly at the words his own disciple had written, then instinctively reached toward him, intending to probe him with his divine sense.
But as he felt that mass of qi, he could sense nothing at all.
Only then did he slowly, gently pat Li Xingtian's shoulder, seeming to understand a little.
The supposed price had naturally been something Chu Xingchen made up. He was not Li Xingtian himself; he had simply felt that every method came at a price and casually tried to bluff something out of him.

It wasn't something he could control at will?
Chu Xingchen lightly pressed his lips together, looking at Li Xingtian's Gold Trait, [Reborn].
