"Huo Lian, wait a moment," Xuan Tu said. "I have a few things to ask Huang Xiao in private."
Huo Lian nodded.
Of course he would not stop Xuan Tu from speaking to Huang Xiao.
He was merely somewhat puzzled, wondering what Xuan Tu wanted with Huang Xiao.
Huang Xiao did not seem to have much of a friendship with Xuan Tu.
"Huang Xiao, did you teach Huo Lian the Longevity Chapter?" Rather than say it aloud, Xuan Tu transmitted his voice to Huang Xiao.
He remained very cautious about matters concerning the Longevity Chapter. Without confirmation, he did not dare reveal it.
Too much was at stake for him not to be careful.

Huo Lian's expression shifted slightly at Huang Xiao's words.
He glanced at Xuan Tu in surprise, not having expected him to bring this up.
"Huo Lian, don't be surprised. Given my relationship with Zuo Qiu Yi back then, it's hardly strange that I know about the Longevity Chapter, is it?" Understanding Huo Lian's surprise, Xuan Tu smiled faintly.
"True." Huo Lian chuckled. "I just don't understand how Huang Xiao gave himself away."
"Huang Xiao has already done very well. He concealed his aura, and ordinary people really wouldn't be able to detect it," Wu Xuancang said. "Even Xuanyuan Jade Butterfly couldn't sense it. Huang Xiao once came into contact with the Longevity Pill, and some of the aura on him served to mislead Xuanyuan Jade Butterfly. When I first met Huang Xiao, he hadn't yet come into contact with the Longevity Pill. Still, even if he had, I would have been able to detect it. Those who practice the Longevity Chapter have a peculiar aura. Zuo Qiu Yi
