He Mu's brief remark plunged Feng Wu into a long silence.
Haotian's elder before her looked gentle and kindly, and seemed even to have old ties with their Heavenly Immortal Academy, yet Feng Wu still felt somewhat uneasy.
After all, this senior had pointed straight to their Heavenly Immortal Academy's closely guarded secret technique the moment he spoke. Now that he had offered to guide her cultivation for a time, Feng Wu could not help worrying that He Mu had some ulterior aim.
But given He Mu's heaven-reaching cultivation, Feng Wu knew perfectly well that she had no room to refuse.
If she displeased this senior, who seemed even stronger than the old dean, no one in the Heavenly Immortal Academy's party visiting Fire Province could possibly hold him in check.
Many reclusive seniors of great power had very peculiar tempers. They might seem easy to talk to, but once defied, they could turn hostile in an instant.
The guardian elder the academy had sent this time was only in the Heavenly God Realm. How could he withstand a Giant who seemed to have advanced extremely far even among sect leaders?
It was not entirely impossible that one careless misstep might truly enrage this powerful figure and bring disaster upon the entire Heavenly Immortal Academy!
As these thoughts turned through her mind, a faint sweat broke out on the valiant young warrior maiden's forehead. She tried to find a suitable solution, her delicate brows unconsciously drawing together.
Beside her, Shi Hao's heart was also pounding with uncertainty. He could not work out what He Mu meant.
Counting their encounter in the Lower Realm, Shi Hao and Feng Wu had already fought twice. They were reasonably familiar with one another, with something of a friendship forged through combat between them.
