"Brother Lu, you're joking."
Huo Gu shook his head and said, "This birthday banquet is so sudden... how could my Master have foreknowledge?"
"Indeed."
Xie Xuanyi answered with a smile.
Huo Gu's reply didn't indicate much.
After all, he's just a fourth disciple... If Master Ni Yu and Nether Sea Venerable truly have any connection, Huo Gu is likely not qualified to know about it.
"However..."
Huo Gu furrowed his brows. "Although my Master regularly cultivates in seclusion, this time's retreat seems different."
"Oh?"
Xie Xuanyi raised his eyebrows.
"A year ago, my Master returned to Nishang Cave Heaven and specifically summoned our eldest senior sister to protect."
Huo Gu stroked his chin and muttered, "For a whole year, Nishang Cave Heaven didn't permit any disciple to enter... If I'm not mistaken, Master is probably refining an extremely powerful treasure..."
Kid, you've got it wrong.
Xie Xuanyi maintained a calm exterior, but felt slightly amused inside.
