Considering the recent emergence of one Hidden Dao Lineage after another, it wasn't hard for Xiao Chen to guess that the other party likely mistook him for a member of some major power.
Therefore, he had already started thinking about how to handle the situation before he even went upstairs.
His original plan was to imitate the heir of the Flame Manipulation Sect and simply say, "My master forbids me from revealing his name to outsiders."
But the problem was, Master Can Ye hadn't inquired about his background at all, which was very strange.
'Hiss... This feels like some high-level gambit. I don't quite get it.'
Xiao Chen scratched his head and decided to ignore all this flashy, complicated stuff and focus his main energy on Nascent Soul Formation.
No matter what problems lay behind it all, as long as he achieved Nascent Soul Formation, none of it would be a problem.
