Upon hearing Mu Xiaochuan's words, a hint of surprise flashed in Zhao Yahan's clear eyes. She hadn't expected the seemingly easygoing and even somewhat nonchalant "Honorary Sect Master" before her to utter such arrogant words. However, upon reconsideration, the fact that he could defeat a royal Foundation Establishment genius suggested that perhaps... his arrogance wasn't entirely unfounded?

She furrowed her brows slightly and softly said, "Senior, your strength is profound, and I am ashamed of my inferiority. However... this Dao Discourse Gathering is full of hidden talents. I hope you will give it your all and not miss a great opportunity due to a moment of carelessness."

Mu Xiaochuan looked at her earnest expression and couldn't help but feel a bit of fondness. This girl seemed to be cold on the outside but warm on the inside, with a pure and kind heart.

He laughed heartily and waved his hand, "Don't worry, Miss Yahan. I know what I'm doing. But you... at such a young age, you're already at the third stage of Foundation Establishment. Your talent is truly remarkable, so keep it up!"
