Xu Luo sighed. "You don't understand. That poison... I used it, but for some reason, it didn't activate right after Xu Luo was poisoned. I even... I even began to suspect that the Old Ancestor's poison..."
"Silence!" Huo Fengyan roared, his voice so powerful it made the door rattle.
Bai Jie's voice came next. This time, she didn't argue with Huo Fengyan, instead saying softly, "Don't say such things. If word of this gets out, it will bring disaster!"
Huo Fengyan's eyes flickered. Through the door, he asked in an icy voice, "Tell me the truth. That poison... did you really use it?"
Xu Luo put on an aggrieved expression. "Of course I used it. But for some reason, he seemed completely unaffected..."
"It seems... that young man, Xu Luo, is without a doubt Beidou's Eighth Star. Only someone like that could shrug off such a potent poison!" Huo Fengyan sighed. For some reason, his eyes filled with regret.
