"You... your cultivation..." Li Zongbao pointed at Xiao Hua, asking in disbelief.
With a sweep of his hand, Xiao Hua took the communication talisman Li Zongbao had given him from his storage space and handed it over with a smile. "This is the communication talisman Senior bestowed upon me that day. Senior, please see whether it is genuine."
Li Zongbao did not take it. He swept it with his divine sense and slowly nodded. "The communication talisman is genuine, and I recognize this face of yours as well, but..."
"Would Senior please come inside for a talk?" Xiao Hua said with an ingratiating smile. "This junior has an extremely important matter to report to you!"
Li Zongbao nodded. Using his command plaque, he opened the restriction and let Xiao Hua enter. Xiao Hua then followed Li Zongbao into the quiet chamber.
"Xiao Hua, what is going on with your cultivation? How did you become a disciple of the Thunder Control Sect?" Li Zongbao had first met Xiao Hua when he was at the first layer of Qi Cultivation, so he simply could not believe that Xiao Hua had cultivated all the way from the first layer of Qi Cultivation to the twelfth layer of Qi Cultivation in only a few years!
"To inform Senior, this junior was originally at the tenth layer of Qi Cultivation. But because I encountered certain matters, my cultivation was completely lost, and I was severely injured as well. Fortunately, Senior Xiao Yuehong of Shang Hua Ming rescued me, so this junior temporarily took shelter in Shang Hua Ming... As for the specific details, forgive this junior for being unable to tell the truth." Xiao Hua explained in a low voice. Li Zongbao had no idea that Xiao Hua had no details to report at all.
