Bai Teng felt a shiver run through him as he looked at “Yu Hao’s” smiling face. "This is quite simple: answer two questions. First, you were injured while you were in the Middle Ocean, and you went into seclusion for twenty days to recover. Did you ever leave the paper boat during those twenty days?"

"No. Prof. Bai and Bai Weiwei can attest to that," Lu Yin answered without hesitation.

Bai Teng continued, completely unfazed. "They can't attest to anything, as not even I can see through your cultivation. What level have you reached?"

This particular matter was a big reason why Bai Teng was so suspicious. Publicly, Yu Hao was known to be a one-tribulation Envoy, but Headmaster Wen and Xia Ziheng were both able to see that he was actually a three-tribulation powerhouse. Naturally, this information had been passed on to Bai Teng.

Bai Teng frowned. "Why hide your cultivation level?"

Lu Yin shrugged. "This junior is from the same generation as the most recent Junior Progenitors. May I ask if any of those former Junior Progenitors have become three-tribulation Envoys?"

“Yu Hao’s” question irritated Bai Teng, and he was suddenly reminded of Lu Xiaoxuan. The sect master found Yu Hao’s eyes were just as annoying as Lu Xiaoxuan’s. This thought caused a surge of bloodlust to radiate from the man’s eyes, and even his aura gave off a hint of killing intent as it pressed down upon “Yu Hao.”
