Chapter 57: The Secret in The Everlasting Silent Forest
Xin Haotian's heart raced as he processed what had just happened with Aldrian.
"What happened? Why are you acting like that?" Aldrian asked.
"You don't realize what you did?" Xin Haotian replied, his voice tinged with disbelief.
"What?" Aldrian inquired, his brow furrowing.
"You suddenly closed your eyes, and your aura transformed into something entirely different. It was suffocating, unlike anything I've sensed before. Even the energy around us and in my dantian was affected. I can't describe it, but it felt like I was standing before a divine being." Xin Haotian explained.
Aldrian sensed the chaotic energy swirling around them and sighed.
"My name is Aldrian Aster. You can just call me Aldrian," he said.
"Yes, I know, but that's not the answer I'm looking for." Xin Haotian persisted.
"Who am I? Well, I'm just an ordinary human. Anyway, let's get back to your story. You can forget about what just happened." Aldrian said dismissively.
"I don't think what happened can be dismissed so casually." Xin Haotian thought, feeling there was more to this young man than met the eye. Despite his suspicion, he returned to his calm demeanor and continued the story.
"Where were we? Ah, yes, the dragon and the phoenix. They came to this continent, but we don't know what happened to them. They seemed to be injured."
