"Brother Liu, you're joking."
Wen Jiu replied without a flicker of emotion.
However, he was indeed quite surprised internally. He had not completely concealed the aura of the Black Corpse. Complete concealment would be as blatant as "there's no silver here," so he released part of its aura, just enough to seem like a Middle Realm Black Corpse. Yet, Liu Xiao still sensed something amiss.
But admitting it was impossible.
This incident, however, served as a reminder to Wen Jiu: minimize the exposure of the Black Corpse because seasoned cultivators can sense subtleties. While they may not be able to confirm, they will at least become suspicious.
Once there's suspicion, the purpose of concealing its aura loses half its effectiveness. Suspicion leads to vigilance.
