By the way… I’d like to ask you about Yu Xuan Shibo—what kind of person is he?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is he trustworthy?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With two pills in hand, He Pingsheng naturally wanted to forge two major Jin Dan cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xuan was a good candidate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as for Yu Xuan’s character, He Pingsheng didn’t know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet when he learned of He Pingsheng’s origins, he once warned him not to speak of them—so he wasn’t like Yu De, that cruel man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But how exactly was he? Was he reliable? He Pingsheng didn’t know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your Yu Xuan Shibo is quite good,” Yu Ning said. “He’s our senior; since joining the sect, he’s always looked after us. He’s kind, reliable, and his character is pure.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He’s utterly loyal to our Master—unlike your dead Yu De Shibo, who was the polar opposite!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If that’s true, then turning Yu Xuan into a Jin Dan would further strengthen my power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then…” he asked again. “Master, what realm is Shibo in now?
