"Xiao Hua... From his name, he didn't seem to be a blood-related disciple of the Thunder Control Sect, and he had been sent here at the very start of the war. He didn't seem to have any background at all. Yet he... he had actually persisted until now without a scratch... He must have some sort of backing! Perhaps he had even come to the battlefield earlier for training... If Chang befriends a Thunder Control Sect disciple with such deep foundations, the benefits will be inexhaustible in the future!"
At once, in Chang Shu's eyes, Xiao Hua became someone like Qian Diheng, a person with an immensely powerful backer.
"Oh, Fellow Daoist Chang?" Seeing Chang Shu actually lost in thought, Xiao Hua asked curiously, "Could it be that you have something to remind me of?"
Chang Shu hurriedly replied with a smile, "What could Chang possibly have to remind you of? I had only heard others speak of this secret bidding meeting; I never imagined I would have the chance to take part in one myself. If not for Fellow Daoist Xiao, I would not even know where this secret bidding meeting was being held!"
"Hehe." Xiao Hua smiled. "Isn't it all recorded in the jade slip? You only need to look."
"Not at all!" Chang Shu hurriedly waved his hands. "The contents of this jade slip can only be viewed once with divine sense before they vanish on their own. Chang would not dare delay Fellow Daoist Xiao's business!"
Then he added regretfully, "What a pity. If this tiger tally did not permit only one cultivator to enter, and if Chang were not forbidden from leaving his post at night, I truly would like to accompany Fellow Daoist Xiao and broaden my horizons!"
"There will always be another chance."
