On the way back, Mo Hua just so happened to be traveling the same route as Linghu Xiao.
Taia Sect's Taia Mountain, Rushing Void Sect's Mount Chongxu, and Taixu Sect's Taixu Mountain—all part of the Three Mountains—were situated close to each other.
Their directions to return to their respective sects overlapped.
Linghu Xiao remained as cold and distant as ever; he didn't smile or speak. But occasionally, he would glance at Mo Hua.
Mo Hua noticed his gaze and turned, puzzled:
"What is it?"
Linghu Xiao replied seriously, "You promised to spar with me."
Mo Hua froze. "When did I ever say that?"
Linghu Xiao seemed a little angry. "Just now, in the mountains!" He frowned. "Do you intend to break your promise?"
Mo Hua thought for a moment, then shook his head. "What I said was, 'We'll see when there's time...'"
"Then when do you have time?" Linghu Xiao asked.
Mo Hua sighed.
He had only said that casually.
