"I knew you couldn't be that reckless. Uncle Wu and Aunt Lin still think you were responsible for the deaths of Li Shichuan, Li Lang, and Ye Feng," Wong Qifu said with a light laugh.
"That's impossible," Xu Ke said, shaking his head. "I just got back. How could I have possibly done something so outrageous? Do they think I'm an immortal?"
"Pretty much. Uncle Wu actually thought so for a while," Wong Qifu teased.
Ever since Xu Ke returned from Sui City as an Innate Initial Stage cultivator, Wang Wu had seen him differently. This was especially true after Wang Wu learned from Tang Yingchang that it only took Xu Ke ten minutes to break through to the Innate Stage. In Wang Wu's eyes, Xu Ke was now nearly indistinguishable from an immortal.
Besides, who knows how slow an actual immortal would be to break through to the Innate Stage...
Xu Ke was silent.
"Alright, since it wasn't you, do you have any idea who it might be?" Wong Qifu asked with a smile, changing the subject.
