"Hiss——" Yang Xiao gasped, no one at the auction mentioned anything so crucial, and more importantly, even Second Demon Uncle didn't tell him.
Indeed, trust between people is not limitless. Second Demon Uncle couldn't possibly be unaware of this fatal backlash, yet he didn't mention it, perhaps testing Yang Xiao.
Once he bids on the Life-extending Ointment with malicious intent to keep and use it for himself, death would be the only outcome awaiting him.
Although Yang Xiao understood the truth, he had no complaints. Second Demon Uncle is a senior in the world of martial arts, having wandered for decades. Without some mistrust of others, he wouldn't have survived to this day. Moreover, Yang Xiao himself has secrets he's not shared with his uncle.
Their relationship is indeed close, but trust always has a limit, which doesn't affect Yang Xiao's feelings toward Second Demon Uncle.
