When Jiang Chengxuan finished speaking, the scene fell into a prolonged silence. Elder Star Hu stood frozen in place, unsure how to respond. A moment ago, he had been inwardly mocking Jiang Chengxuan for his supposed ignorance. But in the next instant, Jiang Chengxuan's actions proved that the truly ignorant one was himself.
Jiang's gaze rested on Star Hu with a hint of knowing amusement, as though he could see through Star Hu's every thought. Surrounded by the scrutiny of so many immortals, Star Hu felt his face burn with embarrassment.
But he was, after all, a seasoned elder who had weathered countless storms. In the face of life and death, he quickly adjusted his mindset, reminding himself that a bruised ego was a small price to pay for survival.
"Heh… I must admit, you're right. Every word is true," Star Hu replied through gritted teeth, forcing a smile despite the pain it brought him.
