(MC POV)
I made my way to Master Xiao's courtyard which I remembered visiting the last time I was here.
Just as I reached there, Master Xiao was also just stepping out of his room.
"Hello Master Xiao. Had a good sleep?" I greeted him casually.
"Oh? You are?"
I smiled, "Who I am isn't important now, just know that the Outer Core advancement test is already over."
His eyes widened when he realised what it meant before cursing, "Damn it… So I was taken despite my protection inscriptions huh… How long ago was the test?"
"Two days ago, actually."
"Damn… So I was under for a week huh… Hold on, how did you know that I was affected?"
"Because I found the person that was affecting the Sect and I dealt with him."
He narrowed his eyes at me, "How do I know you are not him then?"
"You don't. I guess you'll have to trust my words for it," I shrugged, using Elder Gui's words on him.
