Logically, having already been to the Ancient Pavilion and being familiar with the place, he didn't need to consume contribution points to claim his reward this time, let alone require Wang Dahui to accompany him. Suspecting that the insistence on coming along was to achieve a specific hidden objective, Zhou Chuan said, "Is this really how you view your Master..." Wang Dahui puffed out his chest and raised his voice, but before he could finish, Zhou Chuan snapped fiercely, "Spit it out if you've got something to say, or forget it!"
Wang Dahui instantly dropped his fierce expression into a satisfied, warm smile. "I knew I couldn't hide anything from you, you clever rascal!" he said, giving Zhou Chuan a friendly nudge with his shoulder. Anyone watching would have thought it was a son acting cute with his father. Ever since he discovered that even Aobai in his late Nascent Soul Avatar form couldn't kill Zhou Chuan, Wang Dahui had stopped treating Zhou Chuan like a junior, addressing him as an equal instead. Being a shrewd man, he knew this was the only way their relationship could endure.
Since Zhou Chuan had mastered the first form of the Heavenly Soul Forbidden Technique in such a short time entirely on his own, Wang Dahui could no longer offer him any guidance in cultivation. Once cultivation guidance was off the table, the title of "Master" had to go.
