Facing Elder Dao the Flamboyant won't do; you need to throw a brick to attract jade, to approach the matter indirectly:
"'Sword' contains the Path of the Ancient Swordsman, 'Dragon' surely contains the true teachings of the Dragon Ancestor. This stele is not Sui Yin's, it must be waiting for me!"
Xu Xiaoshou said, as a layer of dragon-scale armor covered his body.
The power of the Dragon Ancestor obtained from the 99 Dragon Apricot fruits was likely on the cusp of evolving to the same level as the Heavenly Ancestor Legacy.
He tried hard to show such thoughts, in front of Hallmaster Dao Qiongcang.
"Go on, take it down, and it will be yours." Hallmaster Dao Qiongcang puckered his lips, not taking the bait.
Xu Xiaoshou sighed and gave up on being indirect:
"What is it?"
It was then that Hallmaster Dao Qiongcang's expression became subtly intriguing, his lips curled into a trademark smirk that made one's teeth itch with irritation.
