The Oath

"Master Hong Xu, what are your conditions? What will it take for you to swear to keep this secret? You must understand, what you have seen today is a great secret. If you don't swear, Senior White Ape won't let you go."

Dan Chen admired Hong Xu's unyielding nature. However, the medicine garden and the events that had transpired were matters of life and death for Dan Chen, so he had to treat them with caution.

"Conditions?" Master Hong Xu sneered coldly. "What conditions could I possibly have? You want me to swear an oath, but you might as well kill me! I'd rather break than bend. Originally, your so-called secrets meant nothing to me, but forcing me to swear an oath is an insult to a warrior's pride. I won't agree to it."

"So, there's no need to continue this conversation?" Dan Chen asked calmly.

Dan Chen's composure made Master Hong Xu secretly apprehensive. His deep eyes made her uncomfortable because at that moment, she felt she couldn't read Dan Chen's thoughts at all.
