"Don't worry, I just happened to pass by the temple while you were activating the teleportation formation and saw it as a great opportunity to save some time by following the spatial passage left behind by the formation.

Seeing the cautious expression plastered all over the old man's face, Xuan Hao reassured him that he didn't mean him any harm.
Of course, even with him doing his best to reassure the old man, the old man still remained cautious. Even if Xuan Hao said he didn't mean any harm, the old man had no way to make sure this was the case.
