What frightened Xiao Hua most was that Jiu Xia had made it all seem perfectly natural, leaving no trace behind like an antelope hanging its horns. She had led him into doing it all without his even realizing it!
Xiao Hua had certainly intended to reveal some of his cultivation, but he had never planned to expose everything!
How could he explain the tens of thousands of years of age on the spirit herbs used in pill refinement?
However, once Xiao Hua had left Jiu Xia's presence, he came to his senses somewhat after a moment. Yet thinking it over now, it seemed that nothing had allowed him to harbor any suspicion.
From the very first time Xiao Hua met Jiu Xia, she had asked him for help without mentioning any reward or conditions. Then, Jiu Xia had said that she needed to come to Jianren Peak—she absolutely had to come! Otherwise, Fairy Hongxia would certainly lose her life! Although he had only half believed her, he had still come. And upon arriving, he had encountered Fairy Hongxia and the others in danger. Though he had not shown it, he had already begun trusting Jiu Xia in his heart!
After that, a single sentence from Jiu Xia had saved Fairy Hongxia from death, yet Jiu Xia had not said a word about compensation. She had even made it clear to Xiao Hua that this had nothing to do with the favor she wanted from him! This was truly loyalty soaring to the clouds! It had made Xiao Hua trust Jiu Xia even more.
Then came the fact that Jiu Xia had taken out the Flying Shadow Pill formula she had collected and even presented upper, middle, and lower strategies to save Fairy Hongxia! Xiao Hua had been moved to tears
