Elder Fu leaned forward, scholarly interest overtaking his previous concern. "Remarkable... Such perfect integration with natural energy. I've never seen this technique before."
"The level of control..." Elder Sun murmured, studying the space where Li Hua seemed to both exist and not exist. "You've clearly mastered whatever method this is."
Li Hua allowed herself to gradually reappear, her form solidifying like morning mist taking shape. She caught Mo Xing's gaze—heavy with understanding of exactly what she'd just revealed, though his expression remained carefully neutral.
"Then it's settled," Elder Sun declared, his earlier reservations replaced with approval. "Though I must admit, I'm curious about where you learned such an unusual technique."
Li Hua offered a respectful smile that revealed nothing. "One picks up various skills through dedicated practice, Elder Sun."
