"If Wang Gan didn't make a move himself, it was because he wasn't certain enough and feared failure. Pulling in that man surnamed Luo made things more secure."
"Besides, the place where you traded last time was very close to his cave dwelling. He was also worried that someone might seek revenge later and trace their suspicions back to him."
"And your reactions and behavior during the day happened to tell them outright that you were a fledgling with no trump cards at all. Only then did they truly set their sights on you."
At this point, a measure of realization appeared in Huo Xuanhao's eyes as well.
"So that was it... Thank you for the reminder, Senior. Since I left home, you've saved my life once again!"
Huo Xuanhao spoke with deep gratitude.
He came from a Qi Gathering Realm lineage in the Eastern Wilderness. Like the Li Family before them, his family had an ancestor of the Twelfth Floor of Qi Gathering overseeing it.
Because the First Prince and Third Prince had gone to war, cultivators from his family had been continuously conscripted to the front lines.
As the most talented person in the family, he had been protected by them and allowed to remain behind until now.
But two months ago, even the family ancestor received a summons. Unable to defy it, he too had no choice but to head for the battlefield.
Before leaving, the ancestor arranged for him to flee to Befeng City as quickly as possible to seek refuge.
As long as he hid there, the Eastern Wilderness would no longer seize him and send him to the battlefield.
Once the war was over and everything had settled down, he could return home.
Huo Xuanhao's upbringing was similar to Feng Linghua's in those days.
