Oscar, standing to one side, noticed something amiss and lowered his voice in surprise, "No way, Xiaosan, don't tell me you..."
Tang San immediately interrupted him, "Cut the nonsense, it's not what you think." That morning, he had finally convinced Tai Long not to follow them.
Tai Long's cultivation speed was obviously slower than theirs; he had just broken through to level 38, and hadn't reached level 39 yet.

half-year, although they were all cultivating, he didn't spend much time with Tai Long. But occasionally, he would teach Tai Long some cultivation techniques passed on to him by Grandmaster.
Their relationship had also changed from former love rivals to ordinary friends.
