The man in white studied Xu Luo with a smile for a few moments, then sighed softly. "Since you were able to make it here, it truly must be fate. I am more than willing to form a karmic bond with you."
As he spoke, a brilliantly colored, palm-sized scale suddenly appeared in his hand, emitting a dazzling light. "Your identity can be easily seen through by truly powerful experts," he said. "Once word gets out, you will never know a day of peace again! There are people looking for you... Heh heh."
The man's cryptic manner made Xu Luo extremely uncomfortable. He couldn't help but ask, "Senior... can you please explain in more detail?"
The man shook his head, a strange look on his face. "They won't tell you, so how can I? Just take this as a small gift. With it, it will be very difficult for anyone beneath the level of a Saint to see through to your true form. It should offer you some measure of safety."
