Li Yuansheng gritted his teeth and contemplated giving up on the matter.

Eyes flickering with cold light, he thought, "It must have just been a coincidence. Hallmaster Feng must have had a beef with Eccentric Earthvile. There's no way that Bai Xiaochun can have somebody that powerful watching out for him!
