"Thank you for the technique."
Now was not the time to practice the technique. After storing the jade slip in his chest, An Jing shifted his gaze to Huo Qing who had just breathed a sigh of relief, his look carrying a strange significance.
Although he had 'saved' Huo Qing's life, all he really did was simply treat his wound. The subsequent actions had little to do with rescuing him.
Huo Qing invited him into the city, treated him to a meal, which was probably enough. At most, a few good deeds as a thank you, but certainly not to the extent of bestowing a secret technique.
This gratitude seemed a bit too strong, didn't it?
Thinking thus, in An Jing's view, other aspects of Huo Qing's situation also seemed quite amiss.
Huo Qing's strength was not strong; his Essence Qi was like a thread, though nearing the level of a river, but ultimately, he hadn't made a breakthrough.
But his foundation was very solid, his body robust.
