Ji Man, Ji Man! Xiao Hua pondered for a moment, then thought with a bitter smile, What are you thinking, Elder? Do you actually want to give this Xiao something or not? If you do not, then forget it. Why use such pointless things to fool this Xiao?
But at that moment, when Xiao Hua saw Zi Ming's somewhat uneasy appearance, a flash of insight struck his mind, and everything suddenly became clear. Ah, this Xiao understands now! What she gives me is irrelevant! She merely wanted this Xiao to know that she had long known the Rejuvenation Pill was given by this Xiao, not by Zi Ming! And Elder also used this opportunity to explain matters between herself and Zi Ming, clearing away the last barrier between them! She was even warning this Xiao not to set his sights on the Confucian cultivators of Houtu Village!
Having understood this, Xiao Hua laughed inwardly again. Of course, Ji Man is still Ji Man. What she gives cannot be too shabby! Such flashy yet impractical "treasures," shrouded in vague legends, are precisely fitting for her status! As for that so-called Heavenly Book River Diagram, Ji Man herself probably does not believe in it!
Xiao Hua promptly put away the two items and asked Zi Ming with a smile, "Did Elder Ji Man have anything else to say to this Xiao?"
"No!" Zi Ming shook her head slightly. After thinking for a moment, however, she added, "At the end, Elder seemed to mutter something about 'the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment,' perhaps? It was somewhat similar to what I told Xiao Mao earlier!"
"Hehe, then please thank Ji Man on my behalf, Miss Zi Ming. This one understands Elder's intentions. Many thanks for Elder's generous gift!" As Xiao Hua spoke,
